Last Notes npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I crunched some numbers to get a sense of what a minimum wage income and the median family income in the U.S. would look like if they'd increased as much as the the price of gold has increased since the U.S. left the gold standard in 1971. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Many thanks to @nprofile…3l0a for sharing a link to my recent newsletter on Freedom Tech in Southeast Asia! npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Where is this info from? npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva When I started working on this multi-part piece on the Bitcoin Learning Center (BLC) in Chiang Mai, Thailand 🇹🇭, I hoped it might serve as a catalyst to snap people out of their bear market doldrums. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva NYHC legends Shelter performing live in Union Square, NYC today, Aug. 8, 2026 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Been here for a few years! (My old account got compromised.) npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Happy to hear this. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Best AI model for making charts, graphs, visualizations, etc.? npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I said it a few weeks back, and I’ll say it again: We’re not in a Nostr bear market. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva It seems like the Indian government's recent attempt to shut down #Bitchat is part of a broader effort the government is making to hinder private messaging in the country. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva 🙏 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Jesus. I’m sorry, man. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Two wonderful ladies right there ♥️ npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Amen. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Good question. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva 😂 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Bitcoin is about two thirds of the way to outlasting the average fiat currency. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva No worries at all and thanks for staying on top of it! npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Thank you, @nprofile…vm4f! I appreciate your support. I’m happy to be posting here and plan to do so whenever I write something that I think works for the Nostr audience. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I’m not sure what to do with myself after watching season five of The Bear. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I get it, but we’re just in a low in general right now. Odell might be bummed but he hasn’t given up. I think it’s just time to leave things on slow burn for now. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Yeah, that doesn’t sound like fun, but I still get the sense that Nostr clients are looking for product market fit and that some will eventually find it. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Chin up! I think we’re just in a Nostr bear market right now. Things will turn around. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I don’t know if it’s that bad. I eventually got it to work. I just wish things were a little easier so that we could more easily compete with legacy solutions. I think Primal is leading the pack as far as that sort of competition but I still run into snags here and there. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva My father was committed to small business development and Main Street culture. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Seems that way. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva @npub12vk…pugg npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva What might be the reason @primal won’t allow me to add a header image for an article I’d like to publish via the client? npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Nailed it. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I was buzzing for a few days after interviewing Fai and @nprofile…6kde, co-founders of the Bitcoin Learning Center, for this piece. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Surely more than a couple over here where I’m watching the game. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Brutal. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva It’s kind of like when I see a sign for a health food store. It’s like, “I wonder what that other stuff I’m eating is.” npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Happy 250th, America! 🇺🇸 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Ghana’s goalie, tho npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Brutality npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Insane. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Oh my goodness 🇭🇷 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva 😂 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I’ve come to like how quiet things get in the bear market. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I sat down with @nprofile…w2ua to discuss the impact Bitcoin might have on the world ten years from now for the 2036 issue of @nprofile…wvc3. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva No, sir, I cannot 😂 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Sounds like you have your mind made up about me, my friend. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Not sure what that has to do with the Mechanic video and I’m not an employee of Bitcoin Magazine. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva On it 🫡 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Thanks. I’ve had someone share that with me. I don’t agree with the framing at all and I find the argument disingenuous. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Thank you, Aaron. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I get the sense that this is the case. The main thing I wanted to learn is what we’d be changing the PoW algorithm to, and I still haven’t gotten that answer either here or on X. I can’t imagine not knowing what such a proposed change would look like beforehand. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Totally. They want it to happen without having to bear the brunt of the blowback. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Seems that way to me, too. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva They’re just going to send you right to prison for transferring all that value without reporting it! npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I read the proposal for it in the post from Luke above. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Yes, agreed. I’m familiar with the dynamics as I’ve written about this. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Fair. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I agree that having just a few major pools is bad, but that can also change over time. And I think we’re in the process of that change with some of the bigger mining operations shifting their focus to AI. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Will go back to read it. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva He’d have more power if BIP 110 activated, though, no? npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Thanks for explaining. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Noted. Thank you for sharing 🤝 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I think he has the power whether people like it or not. I’d just like to get a better idea of what’s going through both his mind and the mind of his and/or BIP 110 supporters. It’s a genuine inquiry. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I’ve recently opened my mind to BIP 110 for the sake of trying to hear where supporters for it are coming from, as I believe many of them care about Bitcoin as much as I do. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Bitcoin doesn’t need a new narrative for its price to rebound. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Very good (but not very well-known) melodic punk, for you enjoyooors of the genre out there npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva YIL that Illinois governor J. B. Pritzker, who just signed a bill that mandates a 0.2% tax on companies transacting with or storing crypto, once had five toilets removed from his second mansion as part of a tax fraud scheme. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I met Pedro Fadida, co-founder of Brazil's 🇧🇷 Bitcoin Amantikir (@nprofile…9uq8) at the Bitcoin Medellín Conference earlier this year. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Totally fair. I support this approach! npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva One of the most beautiful things about Bitcoin is that we all want to help others see what we see in it. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva 😂 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Didn’t even know that guy still posted. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva No, not today. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Sometimes I take a break from hanging out with cypherpunks to hang out with regular punks. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Today marks the lowest RSI level on the daily chart for #BTC since November 24, 2018. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Bitcoin has succeeded. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva TIL that Yankho Ngolleka, founder of BitDevs Malawi 🇲🇼, is working on a “nostr super app” that will enable phone calls via npubs 🤯 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva It’s not even that exciting for some reason. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Legendary. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Beautiful. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva The South African government is proposing regulations that would essentially ban Bitcoin in South Africa 🇿🇦 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva That I do. I didn’t know he did that sort of stuff, as well! npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Is that right??? npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva 👋 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Listen here: npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Watch here: npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Francisco Calderón (@nprofile…hesm ) is one of the realest cats in Bitcoin. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva "I assume the mafia uses Excel Spreadsheets and Microsoft is not liable." npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva On that note: npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva As I wrote the piece in the post below, I felt the same sort of excitement that I felt when I first wrote about the work of Lorraine Marcel, founder of Bitcoin Dada, years ago. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva “my brother in hair” 😂 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva So bad ass :) npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Thank you for taking the time to listen and to comment. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Listen here: npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Watch here: npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Watch and listen on @nprofile…cgkr: npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Many of us came to #Bitcoin because of this new system's potential to (re)distribute power. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva As someone who documents #Bitcoin adoption around the globe, I was surprised that I hadn't known more about the incredible work that the team from Bitcoin Research ( @nprofile…vs6w ) is doing in #Bolivia 🇧🇴 until I recently researched it and communicated with a member of the team. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Will bring this up with the team. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva 😂 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva That it was. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Hmmm npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Over the past few years, I've gotten to know Hermann (@nprofile…pjus) from @nprofile…reg0 and the story of his Bitcoin journey quite well.
