Last Notes npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Whoa. Bitcoin books are for criminals! npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Central Banks should not need new, creative and opaque tools in order to keep our economic system from imploding. But they do. These new tools won’t last forever but in the meantime they will make a select few richer at the expense of the rest of us. #Bitcoin npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Please enjoy! 🧡 npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier I think it’s interesting that people like to compliment this book before they even finish it. Tons of examples of this. Not something I would have predicted. https://cdn.nostr.build/i/66c856d33daa62874c7412ba05d779b12f2e4181c9518a87481326d3f1518e02.jpg npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier @npub1key…lt3h is the bomb. If you are a Bitcoiner and haven’t been, you need to make the trek. 🤩 npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Talking about A Progressive’s Case for Bitcoin at PubKey last night. It was truly an honor to engage with some of the most genuine and incredible folks in the Bitcoin space! 🙏 https://cdn.nostr.build/i/79e5b13e634d3550f8ef1d44f2c92ee1b8017f1c5393e991e79149235e85e7b7.jpg npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier This is exciting. :) npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier So excited to be speaking at PubKey this Thursday 8/3 @6pm. You should come! https://www.meetup.com/pubkey-meetups/events/295159487 npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier The first two, for sure. 🙂 npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier This might be a stretch for me to attend in person. But if there was an interest in having me pop in on a video call let me know. 🧡✌️ npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Given the chance to go back in time and talk to myself for 60 seconds, the message would be to learn about #Bitcoin , not “buy Bitcoin” This is how you build something, join the community and actually hold onto the Bitcoin you do get. This is also the message I give to pre-coiners today. Learn! npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Let me know how to get one of these! 🧡 npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Send me a dm and I can get a tracking number for you. All books have been put in the mail. International shipping has been a horrific headache. npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Can’t lie. I’m jealous of this pic that I found on Twitter. Great scenery to read a book. 🤙🧡 http://nostr.build/i/7f6d1f486a05c76c6ec99ec558516f54102c568bc9ec801a2a19814525930ea7.jpg npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Such a luxurious photo! Thanks for your patience. Shipping internationally has been a frustration for all of us. :/ npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier I’ve been waiting for this. Keep us posted! npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier So happy to be in Boston for tonight’s meet up and tomorrow’s freedom festival. Gonna be lit. https://t.co/lue9LpRzmQ npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Lol. It works the other way too. People have told me me that they were on my podcast. And I don’t have a podcast. Maybe folks think there aren’t many progressive Bitcoiners because they lump them all together. 🤷♂️ npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier I have upcoming events to talk about my book in Washington DC, Boston, NYC. I’m definitely looking forward to meeting folks IRL. All events (and links to buy the book) are on my website: www.BitcoinProgressive.com npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Mark your calendar. Thursday Aug. 3 I will be at PubKey in NYC to talk about my book and do a signing. I'm giving you advanced warning, so pretty much you don't have any excuses not to show up. Still need a copy? Buy in advance or on site!

Peloton has now gotten more money from me by selling monthly access to the beautiful people meant to train me than they ever did by selling me the actual bike. So why was Kodak able to weather storms and massive tech innovation since 1888 to become the predominant company to sell cameras, but they weren’t able to adjust when digital cameras came along? Even though they were the first to have them? The business model was threatened. If you get money from selling film, a film-less camera isn’t an opportunity, it is a threat. Kodak could see no path to adapt. Who knows if there was one? Of course, now we have Apple that is threatening to shut down apps like Damus because it allows people to transfer value directly peer to peer. Not being able to position themselves in the middle of transactions is a threat to Apple’s business model. npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Plenty of examples of this.

Of course, now we have Apple that is threatening to shut down apps like Damus because it allows people to transfer value directly peer to peer. Not being able to position themselves in the middle of transactions is a threat to Apple’s business model. This isn’t speculation, Apple has said that when value is transferred in the app, it must be as an in-app purchase. This is because they get a cut. They sold you a phone just so they can sell you the in-app purchases. This is like Kodak’s film. So why do we care? Why are people all over nostr and Twitter all bent out of shape about this? Because you still need Apple. Decentralized money and decentralized social media are not promises. They require work and a pathway for normal folks to adopt them. This is true for both Bitcoin and Nostr and while both are promising and should make the world better, we can’t just assume they will be successes. Regular folks are going to use Apple to get themselves onboarded to both of these technologies. Who knows what will happen with Apple and Damus? There are a lot of possible outcomes, not all of them good. But there is hope. There is good news coming out of all this. Let it be known that Bitcoin and Nostr are seen as threats. Not just theoretical or metaphorical. Actual bottom line revenue threats. If you had any doubt before you can put it aside. They are fighting us, and that is good news. The downfall of Apple seems unlikely. And just because the same was true for Kodak doesn’t make anything inevitable. Frictionless, peer to peer transfer of value using open protocols is better, and should win in the end. But will it? 🤷♂️ 1. They ignore you 2. They laugh at you 3. They fight you 4. ????? 5. You win. #Bitcoin #nostr @damusapp npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier I’m sure the good folks at Apple remember how Kodak came up with the digital camera first and fought it because it didn’t fit their business model. George Eastman was a pioneer in the camera industry and started Kodak in my home town of Rochester, NY. As a kid in Rochester I learned about Kodak the same way one learns about Presidents and important history. The same is true for Danny Wegman who invented the world’s best grocery store, also in Rochester. Even in my AP economics classes, most off the off the cuff examples were about Kodak. They employed thousands of people and had been a staple in Rochester since the late 1880s. The company’s fate was intertwined with the city’s. The word Kodak was synonymous with taking pictures. Special moments were “Kodak Moments” and this wasn’t a flash in the pan either. Kodak adapted and flexed through the decades. Time and again they were on the front lines on technology and chose to lead. But Kodak didn’t make their money from selling cameras. The company was profitable because they sold film so people could use their cameras. The only competition I’m aware of on this axis was Fuji. But my memory here is skewed since using Fuji film where I lived was blasphemous. npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier This is what I got the last time I was at a bitcoin conference.

Congrats! npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier My wife: why did you just have me watch that whole thing? It was just about Bitcoin and the Fed! Me: when npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle is on TV we watch. npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Later today I will drive 2 hours each way to attend a Bitcoin Meetup. While I drive I will be listening to The Mandibles. At some point while I’m gone I will receive a disbursement of freshly mined corn right into my self custody. #Bitcoin. Good day. npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier I’m playing the long game with this one. No doubt that I will be paying for my son’s haircut with sats one day. 🙂 npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Spoke to the barber today about #Bitcoin. He isn’t an expert at all. But he did say he was curious to check the price the other day when he noticed all the turmoil with banks. He wasn’t surprised to notice Bitcoin’s price had gone up. Bullish. npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier This bet would only be meaningful if it was denominated in Bitcoin. 😂 npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier That’s how I’m doing it. npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Okay okay. I’ve started The Mandibles. Thanks for the many many many recommendations. npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier It is more important (and easier) to convince liberals that their assumptions about #Bitcoin are wrong than it is to convince them their liberal beliefs are wrong. If you can get behind that, then we’re on the same team. 🤝 npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Yes I’ve read it. My point isn’t about how good or bad the book is. Just that it isn’t targeted at the audience that was mentioned in the thread. We won’t win over environmentalist by using the term “climate hysteria” which is the actual precise reason I’ve written *my* book. If we want to broaden our target audience for Bitcoin we need people that can speak their language. you don’t have to like it. Alex Epstein isn’t speaking their language. You don’t either. And that is okay. Different strokes for different folks. (Assuming you’re okay with different folks being orange pilled) npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Happy to wake up to this announcement. https://twitter.com/thebitcoinconf/status/1635779507889278977?s=46&t=Zwu7WeO84PR2LUkqYm45GA npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier This might be a good book for people that already agree with you, but that wasn’t the prompt. Fossil Future is not changing anyone’s mind if they are worried about the environmental impacts of Bitcoin. npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Really excited about this. https://imgur.com/a/ixMNGBJ npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Settled on a title for my upcoming faculty colloquium at work: Bitcoin’s Answer to Neocolonialism through Monetary Policy That should put asses in the seats. npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier “probabilistically impossible” isn’t a thing. The “talking” only happened because the bank was in trouble in the first place. My original post is a commentary about the idea of censoring the “talking” which has come up in a couple of different ways recently. npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier If talking about a bank run causes a bank run, the problem was never the talking. #Bitcoin npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Fractional reserve time keeping. It was never your hour in the first place. 😂 npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier 🤙🧡. I’m 100% with you. I was just trying to be cute. npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier I agree. I’m just saying not all of us are drinking wine, eating steak out our pants and getting so many zaps it’s a notification problem. I’m happy for you. npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier I agree with you, personally. I was attempting to channel the thinking of those deciding. npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier https://imgur.com/a/442IzTg npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier If you truly believe this one bank is an isolated malignancy on top of an otherwise healthy system, backstopping makes perfect sense. If this one bank is a symptom of a wider systemic malfunction, backstopping is the worst thing you can do. Janet Yellen and Bitcoiners (like me) seem to disagree about which situation we’re in. Seems like the misalignment of incentives could not possibly come faster or harder. Can has been kicked - larger problems incoming. Eventually. npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier Zapping on nostr gives you a glimpse to the future when sats are the standard. And what have we learned? In the future all prices are required to have the numbers 21, 69, or 420. npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier SVB was ranked 20th https://i.imgur.com/ckumoOa.jpg npub1dc84762hpnp0y4jcvjcgwt8l7sepng93j3hg63hfm80ph6kt82eqktjwqd Jason Maier #bitcoin doesn’t care about jpegs either.
