Hopefully there will be much more to discuss when it is done. 🍻🙏 npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis I agree. npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis I was moved to tears several times at Bitcoin Atlantis in Madeira. The quality, sincerity, generosity, kindness, respect, and encouragement which characterize the interactions I had is on a level I’ve never before witnessed or experienced. All those people, with a shared passion and dedication for the mission, humbled by all which it represents, interacting with each other as fundamentally equal, but experientially and intellectually unique, creates the best possible foundation for friendship, for mutual understanding, for helping and supporting each other, or for just hanging out and basking in the shared experience, and whatever forces are generating it. It’s become such a consistent occurrence (though more pronounced each time) that it’s easy to forget just how special it is. Bitcoin (only) conferences aren’t ‘industry events’, they are little wormholes to the future that flash open for a few days so people can feel what things are like when we orient and express our actions around such a form of truth - as represented in, accessed through, and propagated by, bitcoin. ‘Number go up’ is great and necessary, and none of this would happen without it, but it’s a ‘means’, not an ‘ends’. What is experienced between people when they are so humbled by the truth, and so lifted and liberated by its presence, is the true nexus of creative inspiration, from which all that is good and beautiful may spring. That is the true ‘ends’, which we might simply understand to be alignment with the generative force we call ‘love’, and the products thereof. Not the phony, wishy-washy, ‘everyone can be right’ kind of ‘love’, but the one which allows for argument and debate, honest feedback and opinion, while remaining grounded in a paramount aim that is movement toward Truth, which subordinates any divisive differences to this, ultimately uniting, shared objective. Anyways, Bitcoin Atlantis just reminded me how incredible what’s happening here really is, and how much of a pleasure and honour it is to be sharing it with you (you know who you are). Thank you. 🧡 npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis Bitcoin Atlantis was a glimpse into the future…and it looks incredible. All love. All family. All down for the cause. Thank you and congratulations to everyone involved, especially @npub1tdc…8r0y 🙏 The orange era cometh 🚀 npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis I was way too enthralled to remember to take a photo, but @npub1hrc…k525 just absolutely crushed, amazed, stole the show at @BitcoinAtlantis. Literally moved to tears. Amazing.🔥 npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis Yup. npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis Not sure yet. But they’ll be back at some point.🍻 npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis I sometimes use it as a stand-in or catch-all for those people who act dishonestly, unfairly, or immorally at the expense of others, knowingly or not. There are perhaps many ways Gigi’s ‘Us’ answer could be interpreted, but I see one as the inevitability of everyone being a ‘they’ (pejoratively) to someone, mostly by ignorance. For example, I might consider those who knowingly and selfishly perpetuate an unfair monetary system, at the expense of those coerced (legal tender laws) to use it, to be a ‘they’. Similarly, the mother of a young boy ‘forced’ to work in cobalt mines in response to my demand for the phone I’m writing this on, may consider me a ‘they’. Ultimately, though I sometimes (lazily) use it myself, I think if we are to criticize anyone or anything, it is not only more accurate, but far more useful, to be as specific as possible when we do so. This allows us to isolate the issue, and devise a solution, without catching in the net of our condemnation those who aren’t deserving of it, and de-legitimizing our capacity and reliability for identifying the true cause and culprits of problems in the process. Of course, one may go even further and simply come to the conclusion that even being specific with one’s criticisms is a sub-optimal (and again, lazy) approach, and one ought to focus entirely on the solutions (to perceived problems) which are within one’s capacity or control - basically just adhering to Bucky Fullers advice regarding building solutions which make problems (be they people or systems) obsolete. I see the latter as being the most legitimate and effective, and try to use the former less and less. npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis ONLY YOU CAN DO IT #note10pp…xcmh npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis Latest Hodl Hang now up on YouTube. @npub1hk0…20pf @npub15vz…k4um @npub1rtl…jtfs https://youtu.be/Tjz06aZ9VZA?si=49ait2m_hCD0a_rG npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis Any bitcoiners in Bangkok? npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis Will be up on YouTube soon. npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis Hodl Hang #10 w/ @npub1hk0…20pf @npub15vz…k4um @npub1rtl…jtfs https://fountain.fm/episode/GN8dCvKvfiFLdDTTT80D npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis The fresh figs sold me😉 npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis GM☕️ Here is yesterday’s hang w/ @npub1l2v…ajft @npub1tdc…8r0y & @npub1der…xzpc First half on implications & recent developments of/in Nostr.

To explore this phenomenon in more detail (and recap his experience with the Canadian trucker protest), @npub1y6f…3u6x joins me for the first ep of the ‘Bitcoiner Health Hang’ series. https://fountain.fm/episode/8jIc4Rg2tniRbeD3zHZh npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis The bitcoin circular economy is not just about transacting in bitcoin, it’s also about transacting with people who share a similar set of values, which inevitably influences the products and services which they offer, and the manner in which they do so. @RemnantMd is one such example. A medical doctor & bitcoiner, he is pushing back against ‘fiat medicine’, by exploring an approach to health which is more consistent with ‘bitcoin values & principles’. He was also on the front lines during ‘the hysteria’, and shares with me his take on the many ‘shenanigans’ that took place, the distorted incentives that led to the misrepresenting of facts, treatments which harmed rather than helped, and his arc from hero to villain at the hospital where he worked, ultimately being dismissed for his resistance to mandates. It’s a wild and important story / perspective to hear. https://fountain.fm/episode/tszRpbYuyKqEUhGzuuL3 npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis Looking for 3 bitcoiners to join me on a pod to discuss the candidacy of @npub1hq0…f9mp If you’re interested, let me know why in comments or message. 🙏 npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis I recently had Izzy ( @npub16uu…x0h6) John Carvalho (Synonym) & FractalEncrypt on to discuss Jordan Peterson’s comments / stance on the ‘threats’ posed by anonymous/pseudonymous social media accounts, a more nuanced view of the ‘problem’, and more targeted / individualized solutions. https://fountain.fm/episode/SlhkQZaqdl4zoUi8x9Yr npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis 😂😂 npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis 🍻🙏 npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis Bitcoiners discuss the candidacy of Vivek Ramaswamy w/ Jordan Schachtel & Vijay Boyapati. https://fountain.fm/episode/I6UQxRrmgT1vJ4Iam70P npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis Rev is the man.

When information, identity and transactability are ‘set free’, what happens to our minds? Among other things I expect it too will experience a type of liberation, or at a minimum a far greater degree of clarity. In this state, what ‘comes through’? What is the experience of the mind unshackled by ‘illusion’ or absent the co-option by the will and ends (‘corrupting incentive structures’) of others? In the extreme, what IS that force of pure awareness? Is it ‘closer’ to god? Does it permit a ‘more fundamental’ force to emerge in our minds and manifest through our actions? Seems like it to me. I’m not saying that the manner in which nostr might ‘set information and identity free’ will directly result in such a circumstance or state, but it’s seeming more and more apparent to me that it could serve as a powerful or useful contributor or catalyst to such a state (more and more as it develops), in both conscious and unconscious ways, over the course of time, in a manner that scales to a huge number of people, by virtue of the incentives involved. npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec johnkvallis 🙏🍻
