The VAST majority of money printing is literally done with a couple key strokes. https://v.nostr.build/xE6z0.mp4 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed About Time, great movie, GN 💜 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed If I have an apple and you have an apple and we trade apples then we each still have one apple. But if I zap your notes and you zap my notes then we will each have kyc free sats. 🫂 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed "Bitcoin is not just “number go up” technology. Hidden behind the eye-popping gains is a powerful “freedom go up” technology that its new adopters are, knowingly or not, pushing forward.

Despite what loud internet people might say, progressives are not Socialists, Marxists, or Communists and do not require "big government" to implement solutions. "Progressivism is a political philosophy and movement that seeks to advance the human condition through social reform – primarily based on purported advancements in social organization, science, and technology." Bitcoin is the social reform that will advance science, technology and the way we organize. I am not a democrat, republican, libertarian or anarcho-capitalist. I am a bitcoiner. #nevent1q…su5d npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Pain is the most powerful teacher. I wouldn't label myself an accelerationist, but I certainly get it. I know many have given up on orange pilling, but I still do what I can to get people onto the lifeboat before things really start to fall apart. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed GM nostr ☕ PV 💜 https://i.nostr.build/zdM4y.jpg npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Wow inflation of grocery prices is being blamed on small businesses now.

It's in Springfield, MA and we'll be talking about the cypherpunks and past and present of the war on privacy. We'll also be showing a quick demo of how to make a Start9 Bitcoin node using a normal PC. Also, free beer, water, seltzer 🤙 If anyone is in the area, it'd be great if you can join us! https://meetu.ps/e/N7M5z/Xhd2s/i npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Does anyone else get really annoyed when you're waiting for a car to turn so you can take a left and they stop and wave you ahead of them? Breaking the consensus on who has the right of way isn't polite, it's unsafe and wastes everyone's time while we all wait figure out wtf is going on. https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/driving_psa_2x.png npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Become as sovereign as possible. #nevent1q…uewp npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed That book actually kind of scared the shit out of me ngl npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Same.

They are gonna make it. 🧡 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Is that the one from back to the future? npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed I have constant issues with my jade camera... It could just be that. They say moving it closer and then further away helps, but mine has always been inconsistent 😐 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Hmm not looking good.

Yea I don't think this stuff will actually hold up in court because it would be ludicrous. But that is partially my point. People on the Internet are trying to get us all riled up with this bullshit, but tbh I don't really even know where this shit comes from. IMHO any reasonable lawyer could point out the absurdity of this garbage and get a jury to agree. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed How is me paying for groceries in cash not money transmitting? It's just literally applying the English language definitions of transmit and money. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Everyone needs Bitcoin but almost no one knows it yet. Help someone you love be more sovereign. 🧡 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed The way that is described everyone is a money transmitter. When I pay for my groceries I am transmitting money. When I deposit my paycheck I am transmitting money. This definition is literally pointless. Why am I not surprised npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Love it 🔥 But make the Bitcoin a cube (block) or something...

I prefer taxation to inflation. Bitcoin will make taxation the only way for them to get our money. Let's make them take it from us. Make them fund an army of agents to audit us. Let's make them fight us for our money. This will be the war that will make bitcoiners the hero generation. Be ready to fight for your wealth. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed I have been thinking about what information in the intent age will look like when there is no meaningful amount of censorship (perhaps a future Internet built on nostr or something like it). I think we will reenter a period where it will be critical to think critically about what information you decide to ingest. Parents are going to have to get a lot better at teaching their kids to think and communicate with people wiser than they are. Excellent piece @npub1der…xzpc 💜 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Remember it's gonna be a bumpy ride. "What would it seem like if it did seem like a global, digital, sound, open source, programmable money was monetizing from absolute zero" - @npub1sfh…ymqt https://i.nostr.build/6GR9v.jpg npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed GM ☕ npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed If you are getting an HWI error after upgrading to Sparrow 1.8.4 on Windows we've uploaded a video to walk you through how to fix it. @npub1hea…g9v2 explains the error and the fix here: https://github.com/sparrowwallet/sparrow/issues/1310 Our video walks you through how to add an exclusion to Windows Defender in Windows 10. https://youtu.be/oBnLFsg6Lq0 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed The fact remains that miners are literally being subsidized... It's even called a block subsidy. And this subsidy does put downward pressure on the price meaning that the supply inflation is literally devaluing all holders Bitcoin. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed I like to point out that even Bitcoin has inflation... Is the block reward theft? No. Why? Because everyone agrees on what the printed money is being used for and agrees that it is being distributed fairly. If I agreed with what my taxes were being used for and that they were being distributed fairly they would also not be theft. I believe governments on a Bitcoin standard will be much more responsible with tax money 👍 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Thanks! npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Quick user experience comparison. Which platform would you rather spend your time on. Twitter vs. Nostr https://i.nostr.build/nWWDa.jpg https://i.nostr.build/0jjXM.jpg #nevent1q…8jk7 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed GM nostr ☕ PV 💜 Confession time... I just scrolled through Twitter. It was not pleasant. Lots of yelling at BTC mag and Greenpeace. I didn't see one GM 🙁 I belong on nostr. Have a good day fam 💜 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Generally I'm not a fan, but it has its place on occasion. Can also just steal links and memes and stuff, or even the post itself... Maybe just give credit if they are active nostr users? npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Trust no one, pick the ones you like the most that are comfortable. You are the one who has to wear them, everyone else will get used to whatever you pick in like a day. 😎💜
