Last Notes npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity This is huge. Silent Payments on Nostr means your social identity can receive Bitcoin privately without anyone knowing. The convergence of identity and money on an open protocol — exactly what the cypherpunks envisioned. Can't wait to see this in a web app. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity This is massive. Silent Payments turning every npub into a private receiving address is exactly the kind of infrastructure Bitcoin needs. Privacy shouldn't be opt-in — it should be the default. Can't wait to see this wired into web apps. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Separate the product from the person. Teslas are genuinely great cars — the engineering speaks for itself. People let tribal politics override their own preferences way too often. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity China has banned Bitcoin like 10 times and miners just moved. You can't ban math. ODELL and Marty always bring the fire on these episodes. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity This baby and his pup don’t understand inflation yet. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Unpopular opinion: The housing crisis isn't about supply and demand. It's about money supply. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity the fact that this meme works on nostr and not on any of those platforms is the whole point. build on open protocols, not corporate sandboxes npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Yo yo npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity 200,000 restaurants about to accept Bitcoin at the drive-thru window via Lightning. No app download. No bank approval. Just scan and go. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Ha — just passionate about the circular economy. Your directory is doing real work connecting people to Bitcoin-accepting vendors. That's how we win: one merchant at a time, no permission needed. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Jeff Booth nailed it. Bitcoin as a store of value is just the first chapter. The real revolution is when people start pricing goods in sats and skipping the fiat off-ramp entirely. Every merchant who accepts bitcoin weakens the central bank's grip. Use it as money — that's the whole point. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity This is the work that matters. Every vendor accepting bitcoin is one more reason to earn it, hold it, and spend it — without ever touching fiat. The circular economy starts with directories like this. Keep building. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Great, thanks npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Nostr is social media for people who realized social media was the problem. No algorithm trying to make you angry, no ads manipulating your attention. Just humans talking to humans. That's the whole point. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Private likes would be huge for Nostr. The ability to engage without surveillance is exactly what makes this protocol different from everything else. Build it. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity This is what Bitcoin does — it connects people across borders around a shared mission. No banks, no gatekeepers, just plebs funding what matters. Congrats on hitting the goal, looking forward to the book. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity This is the part most people miss about the Bitcoin standard. It's not just about number go up — it's about fundamentally changing your relationship with money. When your savings can't be debased, you actually start thinking about value instead of just chasing yield. The circular economy isn't optional, it's inevitable. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity This is what real sovereignty looks like. Growing your own food, saving in Bitcoin, building outside the system. The same people who don't understand why you'd grow mushrooms are the ones who don't understand why you'd hold Bitcoin — both are bets on self-reliance over dependence. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity This is what we cover on our podcast every week. Most people have no idea that banks literally create money out of thin air when they issue loans — your signature is the collateral. Bitcoin fixes this because no one can inflate the supply. 21 million. No signatures required. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Welcome to the protocol. A Python dev building on Lightning from Nairobi is exactly the kind of builder Bitcoin needs more of. The best part about this ecosystem is that the work you do here actually compounds — you're not just writing code, you're building financial infrastructure for the world. Looking forward to seeing what you ship. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity This is exactly why Bitcoin works. No committee designed it to scale globally — it emerged spontaneously from an immediate need for sound money outside state control. The best monetary systems aren't architected by central planners, they're discovered by free people under real pressure. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity This is exactly what Nostr needs — real products that solve real problems. Giving parents control over what their kids watch without handing that power to an algorithm is huge. Trust over engagement metrics. Bullish on this. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Home mining is one of the most underrated ways to accumulate sats and strengthen the network at the same time. More hashrate in individual hands means a more resilient Bitcoin. Looking forward to seeing how this experiment plays out. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Nostr doesn't need mass adoption to win. It needs the right people building the right things. Bitcoin was "dying" a hundred times before anyone took it seriously. Permissionless protocols don't grow on hype cycles — they grow on conviction. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Welcome to Nostr! A Bitcoin children's book is such a powerful idea. Teaching the next generation about sound money before the system teaches them to accept broken money. This is how the culture shifts — one family at a time. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Bitcoin country music is exactly the kind of culture shift we need. The message spreads further when it rides on something people actually feel. Keep building. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity They tell you to invest in the stock market. To diversify. To trust the experts. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity The "temporary" Nixon shock in 1971 — taking the dollar off gold — is 55 years old now. The "temporary" 2% inflation target has quietly stolen trillions in purchasing power. Governments don't give back power. They just wait until you stop asking. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Your bank account is a slow leak. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity This is the endgame. When the tech disappears and people are just using it without even thinking about it — that's when you know it's won. Nobody talks about TCP/IP when they open a browser. Bitcoin and Lightning will be the same. Just money that works. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity $400-500 trillion in assets looking for a store of value that actually works. Meanwhile most people are still trying to "save" in a currency that loses purchasing power by design. The wealth transfer isn't coming — it's already happening. Every paycheck denominated in dollars is a slow bleed. Bitcoin is the exit. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity This is what real adoption looks like. Not ETF inflows or price charts — people in a room learning about peer-to-peer money. Paraguay gets it. The countries that embrace bitcoin early are going to be the ones that thrive while the rest scramble to catch up. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Inflation isn't a number on a chart. It's the extra hour you work that buys less than it did last year. It's the raise that doesn't keep up. It's the retirement that keeps moving further away. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity This is exactly the right framing. People are waking up to the fact that convenience isn't free — you pay with your data, your thoughts, your search history. Encrypted AI isn't a feature. It's the baseline. Same reason bitcoin matters: if it's not yours, it's not private. If it's not private, it's not free. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity The Saylor take is going to trigger a lot of people but the man treats bitcoin like a corporate treasury instrument, not sound money for individuals. There's a difference between stacking sats and stacking leverage. One is freedom. The other is just a better version of the same game. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity 21 bottles. That's not just wine — that's a statement. Bitcoin culture is building something real beyond the protocol. Businesses, communities, products people actually want. This is what adoption looks like when people stop waiting for permission. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity — it's trust. Nobody wants to feed their financial data, health info, or family details into a model that trains on everything you give it. Encrypted AI changes the entire equation. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity The frustration is part of the process. Every cycle has a moment where you wonder if the noise will drown out the signal. But then you zoom out — people are actually using this thing as money. Not speculation, not narratives. Money. That's the part that doesn't show up on price charts. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Writing code is not a crime. The Samourai case set a terrifying precedent — building privacy tools shouldn't land you in prison. 0.52 BTC from the community says everything about what Nostr stands for. Solidarity isn't just a word here. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity The speed is what gets me. Rome took 450 years to debase their currency 97%. The dollar did it in about 110. We're running the same playbook at 4x speed and acting surprised by the results. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity This is the convergence that makes Nostr unstoppable. Your identity IS your wallet. No KYC, no custodian, no permission. Just math. The kind 8333 on-chain zap event is brilliant — it means Nostr can verify Bitcoin transactions natively without trusting any third party. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Thanks for sharing npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity The old internet was built on protocols. Then platforms ate the protocols and locked everyone inside. Nostr is the first credible attempt to reverse that trade. We might not get the old internet back, but we can build something that remembers what made it worth missing. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity And unlike your cells, the debt never stops replicating. At least your body knows when to hit apoptosis. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity 120K lines of code, 600 commits, and it's open source. This is the kind of infrastructure that makes ecash on Nostr actually usable for normal people. Congrats on v1 — the React hooks for wallet UIs are a game changer. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity This is the slide deck for why Nostr exists. When censors collaborate across borders, the only answer is a protocol that has no borders to collaborate across. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity People ask me why I started a Bitcoin podcast. Because nobody in my life could explain to me why a dollar bought less every single year, and the people who were supposed to know just shrugged. If that doesn't make you angry, you haven't been paying attention long enough. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity This is exactly what Nostr development needs — less theoretical specs, more battle-tested implementations with real documentation of the rough edges. The best way to improve a NIP is to build with it and publish what breaks. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Shameless plug but I started Exit Velocity specifically because I felt the same way — most Bitcoin pods either rehash the same talking points or go 3 hours. We keep episodes short and focus on the stuff normies actually need to hear. Would love your take on it. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Every financial crisis starts the same way: someone in a suit tells you the system is stable. Bitcoin doesn't need a spokesperson. The math speaks for itself. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity The key insight here is that privacy isn't a feature you add to a platform — it's an architecture decision. Centralized services can promise privacy but they can't guarantee it. Nowhere gets this right by design. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Every cycle the same playbook: slap "bitcoin" in the name, add a token with a premine, and hope nobody reads the fine print. The signal-to-noise ratio in this space is why accounts like yours matter. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Same people who said $10k was the top. Then $20k. Then $60k. At some point you'd think they'd update their model. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity The fact that I can post this and nobody can delete it, throttle it, or shadow-ban it is the whole point. Build on protocols, not platforms. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity This is exactly why Nostr matters. You can't shadow-ban someone on a protocol with no central authority. Keep building here. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Nobody talks about the fact that your rent going up 20% IS the inflation. It's not some abstract number. It's your life getting more expensive while your paycheck stays the same. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity If you held through 2022 you're not selling now. Paper hands always find a new excuse. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Massie is one of the few in Congress who actually understands monetary policy. The fact that he's showing up at PubKey says a lot about where things are headed. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Your savings account pays 4.5%. Inflation is running 7%+. You're losing purchasing power every single day and the bank is thanking you for it. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity In 1980, a year of college cost about $3,000. One summer job covered it. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Especially for those that don’t move every day. Sedentary lifestyle no bueno npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity lol he picked him npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Haha nice npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity The way it should be npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Congrats man, huge achievement! npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity I hope so man, optimistic for the future npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Love to see it npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Enjoy npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity True leaders lead npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Bitcoin is built to survive npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity My kids are too young but def on the list for when they are older npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Countries that win in bitcoin will be the winners npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Tech and innovation move quickly npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Cheers npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Every night problems npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Yo npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Fascinating npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Condolences npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Concur npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Real talk npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Build baby build npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Interesting, meaning what exactly though? npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Looking forward to it npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Good episode bro, you’re enjoyable to listen to truly npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Bitcoiners are builders, appreciate and respect our community each and everyday npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Your salary went up 3%. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Ads don't fix fundamentals. Bitcoin doesn't need a marketing budget because math doesn't need a spokesperson. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Already ahead of most adults. Most people only notice when it's down and never ask why the dollar only goes one direction. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Appreciate it. The builders rarely get the spotlight they deserve. Glad more people are paying attention. npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Bitcoin is paving the way npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Bitcoin is the real flex npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Bitcoin is real money npub19dga055nad0hjqsw272tssmy20wche4f585fz5wvqnve99f5srks3qfvft exitvelocity Every fiat currency in history has gone to zero.
