It’s with a heavy heart that I share that neither I nor Lykke will be attending this year’s conference in Prague.
I’ve been a proud supporter of @nprofile…py4c since its inception, honored to be among the first speakers, deliver the opening address in the inaugural year, and champion the event enthusiastically ever since. It’s been a joy to witness the conference grow into such a vibrant gathering.
Last year, my daughter truly shined—adding value to the privacy panel, conducting insightful interviews, volunteering at side events like Rockamoto, and even running her own cookies-for-sats business. Her energy and passion made me very proud.
While I had the privilege of delivering last year’s closing speech, I’ll admit it didn’t go as planned—I stumbled through it and didn’t quite hit the mark 😊
We understand that events evolve, and this year, the organizers have chosen a different direction, as we haven’t been invited to participate. After inquiring about attendance, we were kindly offered a small discount on passes, but we’ve decided to respectfully step back and let others shine.
While we're sad to miss it, we genuinely wish @nprofile…x02g, @nprofile…y8hp, and the entire team a fantastic event filled with inspiration and connection. The Prague community always delivers something special, and we’re confident this year will be no exception.
Thank you for the memories, and we hope to reconnect with this incredible community in the future. Wishing everyone a wonderful time in Prague! 🧡
Warm regards,
Erik and Lykke

Sure, but not one day added to the max lifespan. It was ~120 at Jesus' time and it's still 120 today.

It maxes out at 120, same as 2.000, 20.000 and 200.000 years ago. Not one day added yet.

2025-05-04 17:50:12 UTC

We have yet to expand the maximum human lifespan by even a single day.
Just something to keep in mind before you start planning for immortality.

Instead of removing the OP_RETURN limit, why don't we remove OP_RETURN altogether?
The Sistine Chapel wasn't built as a canvas for graffiti vandals. "Muh timestamps" was always a bad reason to compromise this.
Why keep it?

Thanks.

2025-05-01 09:16:15 UTC

I don't understand how the 80-byte limit on OP_RETURN is more arbitrary than any of Bitcoin's other standards.
Why halving every 210k blocks?
Why supply capped at ~21M?
Why diff. adjustment every 2 weeks?
Why average 10 minute block time?
Why 4MB effective block size?
Etc.
Taken separately, they can all be construed as arbitrary, but together they make up an extraordinarily resilient and elegant network with only one truly non-arbitrary standard:
Follow the standards of the network to have your transaction included in the next available block, or be rejected.
So my opinion: I like our standards. They work. I'd be loath to fuck with them more than we already have.
Which is already a bit more than I would have liked, TBH.
Ps' I'm not a dev and this is my first venture into these debates.

Bitcoiners et al, I need help, urgently!
I'm on the highway outside Barcelona with my family (wife, three daughters, dog). We were planning to get a hotel last minute, but it turns out it's all booked out (1100€ for a hostel 😬).
We can sleep on/in anything and will be gone by early morning, but we need a roof over our head. If you have/know anything that can help us out, we can offer some sats and our eternal gratitude. Even if you don't, please share this post to reach more eyes (you can undo it in a few hours) 🙏
It's a Hail Mary, but you've never let me down before, so I'm giving it a shot.

Last night, Queen Elisabeth II and I flew to Ukraine on a sofa and ended up being ambushed by a squad of toddlers. But don't worry, we were both rescued by Anna Kournikova. The 1999 version 🥳
Anyway, today I celebrate 20 days with no weed and 14 days with no tobacco. The dreams are crazy, but thanks to our amazing support group I've muddled through.
Now everything is so much better.
100% worth it 😎
My psychological cravings have been broken. I no longer have any urge to smoke after food, or even at bedtime. I manage physical cravings with CBD gummies and nicotine pouches when needed. Which is less and less every day.
So if you weren't sure about joining us before, here is your 2nd chance. I promise you we are as awkward as you are. You'll fit right in.
Dump that shit and DM me today. Let the world learn what you're really capable of 🙌

I just had the pleasure of testing a brand new JADEPLUS hardware wallet (courtesy of @nprofile…6av2) and I'm deeply impressed.
The setup was such a breeze that my 11 year old daughter was able to complete it in less than 15 minutes, unassisted. Including 2FA multisig.
We then set up watch-only credentials so my wife and I can track the kids' accounts with ease through the Green wallet app.
Yet I was really struck by the versatility. Power-users will find this device as satisfying as your grandma will. Without any clutter.
The solid buttons, big beautiful screen, and stable connection are also big improvements from my experience with the original JADE.
If I can find a drawback it's that one of the buttons, while solid, was less responsive than the others, causing minor navigation errors.
Bravo to the @nprofile…6av2 team. 9/10 would recommend.

Is Russia in on the verge of collapse or about to conquer Europe? I'm getting mixed messages from my feed.

2025-03-06 10:19:00 UTC

What Putin has done to Ukraine is cynical and cruel and entirely in line with Russian interests.
What Trump is doing to Ukraine is cynical and cruel and entirely in line with American interests.
What the EU wants to do to Ukraine is cynical and cruel and entirely in line with European interests.

2025-03-06 08:00:48 UTC

"Won't this just give Putin a huge window to delay talks until he has well and truly won the war?"
I think we should assume that Trump and Putin already made a deal on Ukraine: Russia gets the east, the US gets the rest.
This explains why Europe has no seat at the table.
This explains why Russian troops have barely moved in February, coming to a near halt in the past two weeks.
This explains why Trump wants the minerals deal before the peace, guaranteeing US dominance over rump-Ukraine.
And this explains the spectacle at the White House and this act of apparent sabotage:
Trump promised to get Zelensky to the table, or force his replacement.

Europeans don't appreciate just how precarious, and historically speaking, hopeless, our situation is:
It's the 350s AD and the rising Eastern Empire (America) is losing all interest in defending or aiding the restoration of the failing Western Empire (Europe).
Barbarians have long since moved into our cities and the Huns are coming from the East, just when we are least capable of making a cultural or military stand.
Europe's political unity is an empty shell and public finances are at a breaking point, silently but rapidly degrading our infrastructure and disintegrating all institutions.
While persistent make-believe once again disguises the inevitable, Europe is at the cusp of the next Dark Ages.

For the $MSTR people, help me out with some stupid questions:
As I understand it, the $MSTR strategy ends when fiat is worth the same as sea shells and no one will sell their Bitcoin to @npub15dq…lm5m for them anymore.
What I'm not clear about is how to convert $MSTR to Bitcoin at that point? Or even leading up to that point? Why would anyone part with their Bitcoin after the strategy is played out?
And if those holding $MSTR then can't offload their stock for Bitcoin, yet $MSTR holds vast amounts of Bitcoin it will never sell, will that make $MSTR a currency?
Is $MSTR the Amsterdam Wisselbank of Bitcoin? Could it inflate the supply by issuing stock? Is this how Bitcoin becomes the reserve for a new fiat called $MSTR?
Perhaps these are moronic questions, but I'd love some serious answers 🙏

You shouldn't have manipulated the vote to stop his reelection.
You shouldn't have prosecuted him to prevent his return.
You de-legitimized the Republic's law and elections for one man.
You forced him to break protocol and turn his followers on you.
You ended the Republic.
What were you thinking, Pompey "the Great"?

2024-11-18 20:59:31 UTC

Pompey was Biden.
Establishment treasure, friend turned enemy.
Stripped Caesar of command by subverting elections and prosecuted him to prevent him from returning to Rome.
Only to trigger the crossing of the Rubicon and the march on Rome, thus ending the Republic in a populist wave.
We're only waiting for Pompey and his followers to flee across the sea to make the analogy complete.
Some have fled already.

To answer with a question: has Elon realized this himself?
That a vial of poison in Trump's slushy is already enough to trigger the civil war that makes the Musks our Emperors? That all he needs is a bit more power and borrowed legitimacy before pulling the trigger?
Has he known that for a while?
If not, Caesar was murdered by the parts of the establishment that had supported his ambitions when they realized he was serious about D.O.G.E.
Just sayin'

Elon may also be the only one with the appeal and resources to reinstate order should a civil war follow Trump's death, whether natural or by assassination, just like Octavian. And yes, he is clearly equally willing to redesign Rome as the younger, adopted heir of the late leader.

Nope, Empires are peak inflation.
They require far more resources and coordination than individuals would ever muster voluntarily.
The seeds of their certain collapse is already planted when hard money begins to emerge among the people.
Only after a long period of feudalism, rising out of a destitute dark age, will the hard money again be concentrated enough to inflate a new civilization.
That's what allowed governments to begin confiscating gold, the hard money that brought down Rome, 300-500 years ago, giving rise to us.
But for now we are still entering into the golden age of the Empire, so enjoy the bubble before Bitcoin bursts it.

I REFUSE TO LET US FORGET this woman's incredible courage.
So in honor of the brave women of Iran, I translated one of my favorite poems to English.
This is 'THE BEST' by Nordahl Grieg:
«Death burns like Thor's lightning;
Clearer we see than before
each life in its white pain:
it is the best of us who go.
The strong, the pure of heart
who wanted and dared the most;
calmly they bid us farewell,
as one by one journeyed west.
The living rules this world;
a herd will always remain,
the indispensable clever,
life's second best (wo)men.
The best are murdered in prison,
swept away by bullets and sea.
The best will never be our future.
The best are busy being free.
Thus we honor them, with apathy,
with all the emptiness we know,
but then we betray the best of us,
when we bitterly let them go.
They don't want our sorrow,
but to live with courage and faith.
Only in the hearts of the daring
the blood of the fallen remains.
Is not each one who knew them
richer than the dead ever were –
for (wo)men have had them as friends
and children have had them as parents
They raised the life they left.
In new (wo)men they haunt us again.
On their graves shall be written:
The best will ALWAYS remain.»

I don't want to pretend like I'm unreservedly happy right now.
I organized Scandinavia's first #Bitcoin conference and fucked up the budget really bad. Got depressed and stupidly found brief comfort in drugs. Having suddenly lost so many hard earned sats I had held for years made it feel like nothing mattered anymore. Before I knew it, I had wasted what little I had left in a self-destructive spiral. I will never be able to earn them back and I still wake up with a panic attack every few nights. My kids keep me going, but also racked with guilt 😔
I'll never stop stackin' though and I'm never spending another sat in my life!

I see the analogy but I think it's a bit more complex when people are actually dying right now and there is no clear path, or even any path, to a Ukrainian victory (defined as return of territories). Should the shopowner keep fighting the shoplifter or let hin go and focus on improving his security for next time? And yes, I understand that you'll say the shoplifter will be encouraged to return, so it won't increase future security, but it might still be the best bet. I haven't personally concluded on this but I'm more pragmatic than you'd probably appreciate. I still appreciate you though 🧡

«Our greatest fear is that Trump will make peace», says Norway's former (and probably future) PM Erna Solberg.

I wrote a #Bitcoin song this summer. It didn't get much traction, but maybe this is a better time to share it with you all? 😁

"Did you know there was once a country called Germany that had over 50.000 coins?"
"No way, that's impossible!"
"I swear! My mom said it was back on Earth in the Dumb Age. It's actually why we call it that."

Do you ever worry about 'The Spirit of 1914'? 😬
At the outbreak of war, enthusiasm ran high among many young Germans. This would be the adventure of a life time, an opportunity to shape the new century and return home with glory and honor.
Their unfettered optimism is easy to understand.
There hadn't been a major war engulfing the continent since Napoleon over a century earlier. No one knew how all the technological, economic, military and cultural developments since would play out in an actual conflict. But they were quite excited to find out and certain it would be over by Christmas.
Does that sound eerily familiar?
Fast forward four years and 40 million people had been killed or maimed in battle. By 1945, as many as 125 million were lost. Without even counting the countless victims of communism.
I sometimes see ghosts of that same madness in our current zeitgeist, that same exhilarating acceleration of history leading us into utter darkness.
Let's pray that I am wrong, but don't you ever worry?

My daughter's went to a Montessori kindergarten and we had great results, but they was also down to fantastic staffing. In some sense, all online learning is Montessori, if you provide the right boundaries.

How do we actually fix education? 🤔
Everyone seems to agree that our current model is hopelessly stuck in the industrial age, where students sit in neat rows completing mundane tasks to make them good factory workers.
Yet I haven't seen many real platforms or proposals on what education should be like.
Is homeschooling the only way? 🤷
I'm sure there must be other ideas out there.
Enlighten me.

9th of November is FOUR of the most important dates in German history - the Day of Fate.
In 1918, it was the day of the German Revolution, when the Republic was proclaimed, ending the Second Reich and WWI.
In 1923, it was the day of the failed Munich Putsch, landing Hitler in prison, where he fatefully wrote 'Mein Kampf'.
In 1938, it was the Night of Broken Glass, when Jews were hunted in a pogrom heralding the coming of the Holocaust.
And in 1989, it was the Fall of the Berlin Wall, which reunited a torn nation and ended the Cold War.
It's impossible to explain how profoundly these events shaped my life and that of all Europeans.
My wife and I were born on opposite sides of the Iron Curtain, our dark inheritance from nightmares of the past.
Today, we honor the countless victims by celebrating our freedom in gratitude.
A toast to those who are gone, but not forgotten.
🕯️🙏🥂

Problems don't disappear just because you think the wrong people pointed them out.
