Last Notes npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike Watched Jersey’s golden boy Jack Hughes back on the ice for the Devils and the building was buzzing. My daughter picked out her very first hockey jersey, not a hand me down from her brother. Could not think of a better way to spend a few sats. My son committed to the bit with a full tooth costume, determined to get a laugh and make the Jumbotron. Mission accomplished. But the best part was the kids watching a gold medal winner skate to center ice and say how proud he is to be from New Jersey, just like them. https://blossom.primal.net/7afa4721ba11e96b3bcb0c39c6e05f933d10e12f1b2c96e2061f0026f0019d13.jpg npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike Calling it now that the Nostr folks are going to embrace XMTP for decentralized messaging. npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike So far in his million emails never ref using it. Just traditional banks. Maybe he used XRP npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike Jeffrey Epstein didn't launder his horrors using Bitcoin. He relied on bank accounts at JPMorgan Chase, HSBC, and Deutsche Bank to pay for his crimes. But those institutions have elite PR machines working overtime to shift the convo. NEVER FORGET WHO BANKED HIM npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike American Express sells status in a “community” through spending. The more you swipe the cooler you are. The Black Card is basically a trophy for lighting a million dollars on fire every year. Bitcoin is the opposite. Bitcoin status comes from not spending. Your membership is earned by stacking sats and having the patience to hold them. In this world the flex is self control not excess. Amex says look what I can buy. Bitcoin says look what I didn’t buy. That one switch completely flips what money means inside a community. One rewards consumption. The other rewards conviction. People realize the friend and community of Bitcoiners also want to invest in meaningful friendship for the long term. npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike Bitcoin twitter is dead and I blame you. npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike Stopped by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia today. It was closed. https://blossom.primal.net/a0dfc9a202bc4783bcd7c3226da9346a2d2758fbf4289d8e8eb57a016706cf09.jpg npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike “It’s like people only do things because they get paid” - Garth https://blossom.primal.net/8175ea9f9b399780888ab11f7dd8efb3f57f62e9adbada1eaa8e1f01067f358a.jpg npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike No more hiding the bitcoin agenda in the Trojan horse crypto bills. This time we’re riding it straight through the front gates and all the way to the White House. Clarity Act, Genius Act, Anti-CBDC Act https://blossom.primal.net/f9c09031b1092132bfea475a8ec9ea5384cb5907011dd7e5fb3e7316cc22e51e.png npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike What made the bull market fun was the shitposts, the chaos, the joy shared here with friends on twitter. Now it’s a @nprofile…uwjm screenshots from Nostr. It’s not the same. npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike Starting to think Coinbase is just crypto’s Skynet. They’ve tried to hide it, but slap some hair on Brian Armstrong and tell me he’s not the T-1000. https://m.primal.net/PEIm.jpg npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike Breaking: The delay in the Executive Order to Free Ross is being held up because @Dennis_Porter_ needs to watermark the document with his logo. #FreeRoss npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike What’s your ultimate “treat yourself” purchase when Bitcoin hits $100K? And no, you can’t say more #Bitcoin! npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike In Dennis Porter’s most recent spaces he attempted to take credit for how the Republican Party added crypto to the Platform. Speaking with the team that wrote it before the convention I can confirm he had nothing to do with that. npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike Congratulations to my friend John Krasinski on being named People’s Sexiest Man Alive. Maybe that explains why my wife always found an excuse to crash our Zoom calls when making Some Good News, and doesn’t care about my Bitcoin shows…. https://m.primal.net/MDDM.mov npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike Alright, I know I'm asking for it, but after reviewing @BitcoinMagazine Print performance over the last three years, I feel it's important to share the facts—the worst-selling issue in #Bitcoin Magazine's history was the Inscriptions issue. https://m.primal.net/JtBZ.png npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike I wish someone had told me earlier that keeping some fiat on hand to buy dips is essential to show my commitment to the cause. npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike We've grown the #Bitcoin conference to a size that mainstream media can't ignore. 900 press attendees and over 2,100 media pieces, the TV & online news value alone hit $790 million. + social, print, blogs, & podcasts, the total media value for Bitcoin exceeds $1 BILLION npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike Throwing in the towel and finally listening to @npub16vr…p2va and joining Nostr. npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike So is this the platform I am allowed to share how Dennis Porter is an actual crazy person and a real problem for the Bitcoin industry? npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike This was just 1 merch store. Not the conf. npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike Sadly this is false information. That was just our one merch store. We had over 10 bitcoin worth of transactions. Will be reporting soon. npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike You have no idea of the people we are speaking with. npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike Am I supposed to post to X or Nostr first? npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike My 9 year old daughter was not that familiar with Dr. Ron Paul but I introduced them and she gave him a “End The Fed” friendship bracelet. So naturally they are now friends. https://m.primal.net/JkWy.jpg npub1t9c7tlpmlkphc0rx8ds0g59r9563g7rqfsw4l4zhtwvnlle97yyqqdhyqq Mike I have to get on Nostr because everyone left twitter. And McShane keeps making Nostr panels at all our events and I don’t want to feel stupid by not understanding it.
