Last Notes npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino I signed up for an email with an address that had the word ‘bitcoin’ in it. I was immediately blocked from using the account by the provider. I’m sure the printing press encountered similar resistance. https://m.primal.net/KqCz.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino If you’re heading g up the coast from San Francisco to #Mendocino this weekend don’t forget to ask at every gas station, bar, restaurant, grocery store etc. if they accept #bitcoin .

I’ve been unaware of this because I don’t have a TV but recently went to visit friends who do and they keep it on all day. https://m.primal.net/Klyf.png npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino See that cash register? That’s #bitcoin, a technology that allows you and another party to transact peer-to-peer meaning when you pay for something or get paid it’s between you and someone else. No middleman, no bank snooping, no report to a three-letter agency. Bitcoin is yours to hold just like cash. https://image.nostr.build/2eeede06c15ba455549932590f3b6913ecd4cf6a193be7f9f124afffe76bc366.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino YOU have a choice. 1.

It’s quite simple really. https://m.primal.net/KeuW.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino On the one extreme is the covered wagon heading west with pots & pans, clothes & food and some gold coins on board. On the other extreme is the highly centralized, corporate-owned internet of convenience paid for by CBDCs. Somewhere inbetween is the decentralized web & #bitcoin https://m.primal.net/Kajh.png npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino MESSAGE: Inflation is a hidden tax that hurts the little guy. Bitcoin is the solution. CONCEPT: A working man, blue collar who’s discovered bitcoin as a way to beat inflation and fight back. COPY: “Inflation? No. My savings are in bitcoin.” LOCATION: Mendocino, CA https://m.primal.net/KYto.png npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Next time you hear bitcoin mentioned (then immediately dismiss it as you continue working for $s) remember: - it’s been around for 15 years - it’s borderless and increasingly accepted globally - national politicians are discussing its use as a strategic financial reserve - The world’s largest asset managers (BlackRock/Fidelity Investments etc.) offer bitcoin as an ETF for portfolios - You can hold bitcoin and pay for goods and services with it using a regular credit card - El Salvador has adopted it as a national currency (alongside the $) - publicly traded companies hold it as a treasury asset - you can hold bitcoin yourself like cash without relying on banks - For those who view bitcoin as an investment (rather than a superior form of money) it has returned an average of 63% over the last ten years ~~~ Bitcoin began as a niche digital collectible back in 2009. Today with ongoing inflation bitcoin is increasingly being adopted as a better form of hard asset money. https://m.primal.net/KXKW.png npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Mine BTC! npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Human. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino I’m moving to bitcoin (and Nostr) country.

I wonder how many more we have left. The only thing scarcer than bitcoin is our time. #Bitcoin #Mendocino https://image.nostr.build/a9b02172e510a14162b15bef4962d648a71aeb89bb7b26296bb74850be6baec7.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Many insiders who worked in the last trump administration either left or got fired. RFK is a big personality. This often doesn’t sit well with T who needs to be the alpha in the room. I hope this alliance between these two holds up. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Yes, please do and why didn’t he when he was in office? npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino When inflation is at 2% people don’t notice the theft. But this 2% compounds annually so our dollars leak value and are not worth saving. Today inflation is much higher and people are noticing. #bitcoin offers people, communities and nations the opportunity to save again. #Mendocino https://image.nostr.build/1e441d7149c241d2d250023e8c168f40489f022d806942b374d885b9ba189254.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino https://image.nostr.build/945bfa4e4bec9a79c23164d4ed4163594c41be9c9c28eb3571f6f3f86b493e9e.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino THE NIXON SHOCK: 53 years ago today the U.S. stopped using ‘money’ and started using fiat currency instead. $1.00 in 1971 had the same buying power as $7.80 in 2024 Bitcoin is the alternative financial system and a return to hard money. https://m.primal.net/KAYB.jpg https://m.primal.net/KAYD.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino We’ll each of us make mistakes like this if we live long enough. I’ve had my share of regrets over things I wished I hadn’t done. When things calm down talk to both children about what happened and why you reacted. They’ll learn from this too. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino 1a. Understand what money is. 1b. Understand the difference between money and currency.. 2. Find out why currencies globally are failing. 3. Now you’re ready to dig into what #bitcoin is and why it’s the alternative financial system. https://m.primal.net/JzAO.png npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino As the world races forward into modernity I’m trying to balance technology with simplicity. I have one smartphone, one computer, no TVs, no smart speakers, no surveillance cameras and when I get home I have to turn on the lights myself. I do have hot and cold running water. https://m.primal.net/JyaA.png npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Explaining to my neighbors why the currency they’ve used their entire lives (and with which they’ve purchased everything from a paperclip to the family farm) is not ‘money’ and is slowly stealing from them at a compounding rate of annual inflation. #bitcoin #Mendocino https://m.primal.net/JwTr.png npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino It’s Sunday. A day to put down your tools of labor. A day to reflect. A day to give thanks. A day to bow your head and recall… #bitcoin trades 24/7 and is available for you to preserve your purchasing power at a time of ongoing inflation. #Mendocino https://m.primal.net/JwRP.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Rowan Atkinson speaking freely: https://youtu.be/Q1HaC8kvXBs?feature=shared npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino I notice you still have the lights on. That’s going to have to stop. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Let’s all make this a common practice and common knowledge - We bitcoiners do not store our private keys at home. We have to go somewhere to get them. Greater inconvenience = greater security. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Dear Ai assistant, Please provide a list of companies holding #bitcoin in their corporate treasuries. #Mendocino https://m.primal.net/JsZi.jpg https://m.primal.net/JsZj.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino - Accept all - Accept necessary - Accept none - Your preferences - Our preferences - Permanently delete internet connectivity npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino 1, Store of value - Flight to safety (coming soon) 3.

Next early adopters. Soon investors showed up then publicly traded companies and sovereign nations. Now we’re seeing U.S. senators and presidential candidates floating plans for a national bitcoin reserve. Why all this attention? The U.S. national debt just ticked past $35T and inflation is affecting everyone. usdebtclock.org Bitcoin is a hard money asset like gold but with a hard cap of 21M. #Mendocino https://image.nostr.build/4484c1a2281cd39321248fcc977cbae0fa8bb334b33211b44c331cb70ae1e2c1.jpg https://image.nostr.build/71fbb3960e40810da1161e833493c4839987c849bfbdf6097cee7250cbdf089e.jpg https://image.nostr.build/5613e18c77e463d1271a923893d94209f340f35f67b5142fedac4d593c0cf142.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino This town would benefit from #bitcoin adoption. #Mendocino https://image.nostr.build/83b6071e262a394645fc15e29275908e4c2bc99dcfa1312893caf51fd2ea546f.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino The currency we all use is not money and it’s ensnaring us in debt and surveillance.

But bitcoin is a viable alternative financial system that anyone can use alongside traditional finance. #bitcoin #Mendocino https://m.primal.net/JaGY.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino What’s #pear ? npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino I’m going to use Ai to write my posts from now on - PROMPT: Write a social media post that encompasses 3 ideas: 1. In summer #Mendocino is busy with tourists. 2. In winter the town is deserted. 3.

People often discover bitcoin because they are looking for a hedge against inflation. With inflation's headwinds people are looking to put dollars into an asset and then get more dollars out later. This is understandable at a time of currency debasement. But bitcoin goes beyond being a fiat investment. Bitcoin has the potential to completely displace the current financial system replacing fiat currency with sound money that is self-sovereign and unconfiscatable. This is the revolution. https://m.primal.net/JZHQ.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino People who own real estate think the value of their property is going up. But the rise in housing prices is more a reflection of a devaluing dollar. For example according to Zillo selling my modest little home would make me a millionaire. #Bitcoin #Mendocino https://m.primal.net/JXpl.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Imagine if we joined in too like Lugano Switzerland, Ekasi South Africa, Madeira, El Salvador etc. #Bitcoin #Mendocino https://image.nostr.build/730f51975c0b99cbc6361273c6c540ed437cabcc49d8a4f60d66dfc9642bdee7.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino If they built a Cybertruck that’s stripped down to the basics - hand cranked windows, key entry, no entertainment system and no internet/data connection + minimal software updates Priority Mailed to my PO Box on a USB stick… I’d buy this model! https://m.primal.net/JWcP.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Life in a small town, knowing your neighbors, not using locks on your doors, walking on the beach, walking in the forest, having locally grown food, having locally grown wine, not having to commute, not sitting in a cubicle, being part of something. #Mendocino https://m.primal.net/ImRc.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Imagine a small town overlooking the Pacific surrounded by thousands of acres of forest, where you know your neighbors, leave your house unlocked, where you find local farmers who’ll sell you fresh food and where #bitcoin is the local currency.

Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance.” ~ Beryl Markham https://image.nostr.build/8832283c065970db131619026ecd7fb4ba68ccd7451762d4789ec4b3ddde6584.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Inflation isn’t ‘prices’ going up, it’s the purchasing power of the dollar going down. Today we no longer use money, we use currency instead and as more units of currency flood the system each unit holds less purchasing power. #bitcoin #Mendocino https://m.primal.net/JMNb.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino https://m.primal.net/JKDx.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino It should become a well known common practice that bitcoiners don’t keep their keys at home (or carry them around.) Keys should be distributed and inconvenient to go get. If we all follow this rule we are all safer. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino @npub14mc…frlx Your talk about home invasions with Rational Root prompted me to request you spread the message… - BITCOINERS DON’T KEEP THEIR KEYS AT HOME We should encourage every bitcoiner to follow this rule much as we encourage people to get their coins off exchanges. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino I’ll be at the parade today.
