The catio is taking shape.
Fun fact: many building in Spain have expansive roof terraces divided up into units with slef made sheds and walls.
I'm trying to make the best of it despite having no view.
Will get some shelves installed with more plants, then finally the cats!

Education: Free and Compulsory by Murray Rothbard, in short:
1. Every child learns at his own pace, in his own direction. A classroom where one teacher instructs thirty children must cast them all into one mold, and whatever pace the teacher sets harms the slow, the quick, and the merely different alike. Rothbard calls it what it is: a Procrustean bed.
2. Schools do not exist because they are the best way to learn. They exist because individual tutoring is expensive and mass tutoring is cheap. A cost workaround mistaken for the institution itself, then made mandatory.
3. Ultimately, the question becomes: when parents and the state disagree, who has the final authority? And the state's defining feature is that it is the only institution allowed to use violence. Reason does not develop under coercion.
4. Compulsory schooling was not invented by educators. Martin Luther, 1524, to the German princes: if the state can compel men to bear spear and rifle, it can compel children into school, "because in this case we are warring with the devil." The first Protestant state school systems began emerging in the same period. The institution was born as a tool of religious compulsion and later adopted new civic and national purposes without abandoning the principle of compulsion itself.
5. The prototype of the modern national compulsory system: Prussia, 1717, one of the most militarized and authoritarian states in Europe, under a king who "treated his kingdom as a schoolroom and flogged his naughty subjects unmercifully." After Napoleon crushed Prussia, educational reform and universal conscription advanced together as part of the national rebuilding effort. American educators toured Prussia in the 1830s and wrote reports urging imitation. They got their wish.
6. In the English-speaking world it began with the Massachusetts Bay theocracy, 1642: a colony where only church members could vote and the state could seize children from parents it judged unfit. England had no public school system at all until 1870. In 1859 Mill wrote that scarcely anyone favored compulsory education; by 1905 Dicey wrote that scarcely anyone opposed it. One generation, and the unthinkable became the unquestionable.
7. Spencer's question ends the debate: education by the state, for what? To make good citizens. And who decides what a good citizen is? "The government: there is no other judge." Rothbard's own analogy: a government chain of compulsory newspapers that all children must read would be called tyranny by everyone. That is the school system, applied to minds instead of news. He wrote this in 1971.

Parallel
(a poem)
Two lines stretch
Running to infinity
Set to different speeds.
One runs in minutes
The other in blocks
These lines will never meet.
From a distance, fine thread
Zoom in, whole galaxies appear
Stars and planets, all moving at the speed of time.
Between, lies an ocean of dark,
Impossible to cross
And yet, I swim with others
Floating free.
Looking back, past years fade
Ahead, the future blurs
But for those like me
Who navigate the space between
Who reach the frontier of true time,
… we see.
We trace the past in perfect record
The future forms in never-ending zeros and ones.
And in our world, campfires burn
Surrounded by huddles of
Time-travelling psychonauts,
Sharing our escape routes from
The march towards death.
We talk of next century
We watch the stars and dream.
Across the divide,
The mainline races forward
Gaining pace but losing mass
Traveller by traveller.
Piece by piece.
A change occurs in every one
Who swims the universe
Feels the pull of their tether
Ignores the force that draws them back
And cuts loose.
We leave the noise of nations
For the resonance of work.
We trade consumption for construction
Publish ideas; verify truth.
We find abundance
In the vacuum of space.
Yet for us, the early few,
Craftsmen, explorers
We are held between
These parallel lines.
Our loved ones watch us take the strain
As gravity pulls us in a million different directions.
We bridge the distance
And hold these lines together.
With all our strength, we close the gap
Inch by inch, block by block,
Then others join and take the leap
Leave the world they knew behind
And together,
We build eternity.

A Lodging of Wayfaring Men by Paul Rosenberg, in short:
1. A group of programmers and businessmen get tired of asking permission to live. They build an encrypted marketplace where anyone can trade, publish, and organize anonymously. No names, no jurisdiction, nothing to subpoena. Within weeks, the market has its ten-thousandth customer. The year is 2002.
2. The state notices the only way it can: tax receipts stop matching the economy. A classified memo admits someone has built "a fully-encrypted form of electronic cash" and that the agency isn't sure what an e-cash file would even look like. The state can only fight what it can see.
3. The FBI agent assigned to hunt the founders is written as a decent, intelligent man (which is rare in political fiction). The book makes you watch him slowly as you realize he was sent to destroy the best people he has ever studied. By the end of the book, he is on their side.
4. The founders never fire a shot. They win by being useful: arbitration instead of courts, restitution instead of prisons, entry gated by trust alone — if no one trusts you, you can't get in. Every merchant who joins is one more person the old world has lost, and no army can invade a market it can't find.
5. The cost is real, and the book refuses to hide it. Opting out means losing friends who think you're a criminal and carrying the moral weight that citizens never feel because they've outsourced it. "If you want to be great, you must be willing to be called evil."
6. Originally published in 2002: six years before the bitcoin launch, nine before Silk Road. Encrypted cash, anonymous markets, reputation as collateral, exit as strategy. The author published it all anonymously, and reality plagiarized him.
7. Rosenberg's message is that the state doesn't need to be defeated. Institutions die when the people they feed on walk away. The title is from Jeremiah: "Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging of wayfaring men, that I might leave my people and go from them." Millions are living that verse right now. Most of them have never heard the book's name.

Bitcoin content is at a crossroads:
Educators are doing poorly with outreach.
Influencers and YouTubers pump out fake outrage and divisive 'shocking' content.
And those in the promised land of Nostr are preaching to the choir.
The only people who can make quality stuff (with a low time prefernece) are OG whales and heads of institutions.
Just bear market things though. Better podcasts will arrive sooner or later.

Still recovering from having to attend my building management meeting last night.
Supposed to be a 30-minute meeting to approve simple maintenance budget via a vote.
It was 30 minutes of waiting
45 minutes of 12 people all speaking at once (MAX VOLUME) with no one in charge.
15 minutes of looking at the numbers.
All could be done remotely, but Canarians suddenly turn into career politicians when allocating their 10 euro per month fees (we literally pay 10 euro per month).
Oh, and this takes place in a sweaty corridor with no seating and hellish acoustics.

You are welcome to find an agent and submit to us for traditional publishing.
There are downsides though. Authors usually retain only 10 or 20 percent of the royalties, and in the niche of bitcoin or freedom, books don't sell millions of copies.
We are not a vanity press, as we reject any project that does not fit our ethos or have merit.
With that said, some authors are adamant that paying for services is a 'scam'. You can always do everything yourself, and publish on Amazon for $0 of you want.

I could probably be making 5 times the money I do if I worked in crypto.
This writer is the kind of skilled creative we need in Bitcoin, but she chose to shill ICOs, hype up malevolent founders and fool cryptard communities into swapping good money for bad.
In Bitcoin, we don't need Satoshi stories. The transformation offered by sound money is obvious.
We do need stories, but we must draw out the right ones and use them wisely.

Bitcoin books are boring.
To my mind, we don't need books which explain what it is, and why it's necessary. We already have enough.
However, we do need more nuanced takes. More narratives that connect Bitcoin to freedom.
I'd like to read more books on privacy, freedom tech, homesteading, sovereign health, stoicism, self-improvement, and financial education.
If you are writing on these topics, check the new Konsenses site.
https://konsensus.net/
Yes, I'm an editor there, so I'm biased, but over the last 7 years, Konsensus has worked with some of the best-known authors in the Bitcoin and freedom tech space, publishing over 100 titles.
@nprofile…h4hk, @nprofile…v6tq, @nprofile…u7e3, @nprofile…5krg to name but a few.
The submissions process for publishing is now easier and more transparent.
We'll get back to you within one week, and we only work with freedom and self-sovereignty authors.
That means we know how to represent entropy on a book cover and not to edit out terms like 'absolute scarcity'.
Our projects generally go from manuscript to book in hand in less than 3 months.
Plus, we are staffed by real humans (like me).
Got questions about how it works? Just DM.
If you are a freedom-minded writer with an idea you'd like to spread, we're listening.

"Bitcoin is mythology because Bitcoin is a story," he says.
In fact, I don't agree with this. For me, the network itself is a technological solution to the problem of money.
Electricity, the aeroplane, the internet: these are not stories either.
Yes, we all relate to the myth of Satoshi, but without revealing his identity, his character, Satoshi is simply a mirror to ourselves.
Still, on the next page, Roger writes, "You align with a story, an ideology, that enables you to stand on the shoulders of giants, just like Satoshi."
Profound.
Personally, I think we need more exploration of Bitcoin stories - ones with human agency, three-dimensional characters, and moments of epiphany and change.

This book offers a range of meditations covering several topics.
At the very least, it will make you explore the ideas internally, much more deeply, over time.
Stories are just one of the many themes covered. If you know, Roger, you can probably imagine some of the others.

Absolutely agree that the vast majority of future Bitcoin users will not self custody or even know how Bitcoin works. That's OK.
As well as simple fintech solutions for the masses, we also need to show them why they should move away from fiat and towards btc.

I bought 4 onions today in a farm shop.
The attendant struggled with the automated system to weigh and price them.
She stared at the calculator on the till.
"I'm no good at maths," she said.
"Half a kilo on the scale," I said.
"Multiply by the kilo price of 1 pound sixty."
She looked at me like I was speaking Chinese. I took the calculator and showed her. 0.8 showed on screen.
"That's 8 pounds, please," she said confidently.
I looked at the four onions on the scale. "Erm, it's 80 pence. Half a kilo for 80p."
"Oh," she said. Her eyes darted around the room, searching for an exit.
I could tell her head wasn't calculating. The little operatives in her brain were running around in full blown panic mode.
We all have our blind spots. Numeracy is hard for some. But come on... if you work in a shop selling vegetables, you must have some concept of pounds, pence, and onions.
I'm not saying this to complain or boast about my statistical superpowers. Just sharing that while we talk about central banking policy, stock splits, and power laws, some people can't divide 160 pence in two.
Without paying attention to numbers or money, what chance do they have?

My plan for the Bitcoin Ireland conference:
* Eat a pizza topped with potatoes
* Convince the Guinness factory to accept sats
* Persuade the president to change St Patrick's Day to St Satoshi's day
* Strangle a leprechaun, steal his gold, and exchange is for sats
* Have a couple of pints
Am I missing anything?

There is an interesting gap developing between generations.
Big Tech boomers giving graduation speeches think young people are excited about AI transforming the world, but they get booed off stage by savvy Gen Zers.
If there is a long-term human benefit, we must communicate it to young people and involve them in the process.

I think it needs long term institutional support.
Not sure what the biggest Geyser crowd fund was, but I'd prefer to justify the plan to the board of a non profit. Not sure plebs should be sending hundreds of millions of sats to me with no accountability of giarantees.
Nostr needs to think bigger.

2026-05-17 08:46:49 CEST

Bitcoin doesn't need a marketing team.
Monetary incentives do the work.
Nostr DOES need a marketing team.
But not just enthusiasts going to Bitcoin conferences. It needs a funded team of creators and social experts.
Tutorials for creators and incentives for curators and freedom-minded users to join in.
This wouldn't take more than $300k per year, and could really kick-start the network effects.
Think about it. One big celeb brings 10k users here. They onboard a few friends.
Yes, we have a lot of work to do with development and UX, but without a user base, services will never be able to monetize Nostr infrastructure.
To avoid a chicken/egg situation, we need investment.
Is this something @nprofile…grcu would consider?
Who would be the right people to run the project?

I paid my buddy 30k sats for the materials, but he said it was a pig to assemble. It took him ages, so he would charge 75k normally.
I'm sure you can find one cheaper somewhere on nostr though.
