Bushy Park Parkrun Event #1,000 🥳
The birthplace of parkrun. What an incredible experience! Pleased with my sub-700th position 😆
The start felt like a scene straight out of Braveheart—thrilling! With over 6,000 runners and hundreds of enthusiastic volunteers, the event was impressively well-organised.
Nice to bump into some other Bitcoin Runner in the melee.

Quick refresher regarding the four laws of thermodynamics:
Zeroth Law: If A = B and B = C, then A = C
Mnemonic: “You must be in balance to measure temperature.”
Explanation: If two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. This law helps define temperature.
First Law: Energy cannot be created or destroyed
Mnemonic: “You can’t get more energy than you put in.”
Explanation: Energy is conserved. The total energy in a closed system is constant—energy can only be transferred or transformed (e.g., heat to work).
Second Law: Entropy always increases
Mnemonic: “You can’t even break even unless it’s absolute zero.”
Explanation: In any energy transfer, some energy becomes unavailable to do work, increasing the system’s overall disorder (entropy).
Third Law: Absolute zero is unattainable
Mnemonic: “You can’t get out of the game.”
Explanation: As the temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a perfect crystal approaches zero, but absolute zero cannot be reached in a finite number of steps.
Summary:
Zeroth Law: Think of it as “defining temperature.”
First Law: “Energy is conserved” (no free lunch).
Second Law: “Disorder (entropy) always increases” (you can’t break even).
Third Law: “You can’t reach absolute zero” (you can’t get out of the game).

“Bitcoin rose from the ashes of the global financial crisis. Inflation had raged for decades, but the final battle would not be fought in the future. It would be fought here, in our present.
Tonight…”

UK general election prediction: Rishi Sunak will remain one of the many unelected Prime Ministers of the Undemocratic United Kingdom.
Here is a list of the last 5 Prime Ministers who took office without winning a general election first:
1. Rishi Sunak (2022)
2. Liz Truss (2022)
3. Boris Johnson (2019) - won an election after assuming office
4. Theresa May (2016) - won an election after assuming office
5. Gordon Brown (2007)
ChatGPT 4o still manages to make a lighthearted joke about this sad fact.

Happy Birthday, Hal! 🧡
Thank you for your tireless work on freedom tech, and for collaborating with Satoshi to get bitcoin running. Your incredible legacy continues to liberate so many!
To honor Hal I ran a half marathon this morning, his favourite event distance (21km).

I received something similar from PayPal UK today.

The #bitcoin network is currently rewarding those that secure it the equivalent of around $250,000 per hour, in the hardest money ever. It’s remarkable and beautiful to see the incentive system Satoshi designed keeps bitcoin working perfectly…

Reflecting on my trip to The Gambia 🇬🇲 What a beautiful, unspoilt, wild country, with incredibly kind, free spirited people.
Thanks to Angelika and Michaela from IN-US* for embracing #bitcoin, and inviting me to present & deliver a workshop with community and business leaders.
There were multiple additional meetings and workshops, with an endless stream of interested parties wanting to learn more.
The Gambian economy is cash based and the currency, the Dalsai, is free-floating and trending to zero relative to the dollar; and we all know where that’s going!
Thanks to the team’s efforts, the event outcomes were as follows:
✅ Local core team formed.
✅ Monthly #Bitcoin meet-up established (first meeting to be held on May 1st and repeated monthly thereafter).
✅ Logo and website WIP.
✅ First hotel to accept bitcoin onboarded.
✅ First group of restaurants and bars identified.
✅ First national visitor experience operator onboarded.
✅ First taxi group onboarded.
✅ First bitcoin ATM planned for the country.
More to come!

A service to nuke accounts simply gives bad actors an extra incentive to steal keys to totally 'memory hole' dissidents. The protocol should be optimised to allow notes to persist forever IMHO.

Regarding this story: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/british-banks-crack-down-on-bitcoin-crypto-access
"Why would these British banks limit access to bitcoin? Because it directly conflicts with their goals and the government's goals of monetary control.
Perhaps it would be wise to acquire some bitcoin while you still can."
