I feel some kind of way posting anything on Twitter now. I'm not trying to play their games anymore, and that's freeing in one sense, but I also feel much less value in doing so. It really is only to engage with people that aren't here yet. We still need people pointing the way from the legacy platforms. Personally, I'm not going to go Nostr only until forced to, for that reason. But I enjoy it much more here now.

A month is quite a lot of lag. I think for us it will still be posts on Twitter the same day. But #NostrFirst and using more Nostr stuff. It's a necessary evil for us with trying to reach as large an audience as possible. But if Twitter decides to rug us, we don't care nearly as much.

Great to hear your experience. I'm having similar effects swapping Nostr for Twitter. I don't know if I'll be 100% Nostr-only from now on, but at least day-to-day I'm scrolling Nostr, not twitter.

Phase 10-11 - the solution is coin control. If you send KYC'd sats to the same address, then I guess that's a mistake. But if you don't reuse addresses, then it's no problem. Just label the KYC sats.
That said, phase 12 is an excellent place to end up.

This seems likely. The dollar can definitely look like safe haven compared to currencies further along their hyperinflation journey. But the dollar will end up in the same place eventually. Then there will be only Bitcoin.

I had the privilege of talking with @npub1s05…eyhe on the @npub1h72…9jmf with @npub1jt9…la9y
Here are my key takeaways from the episode 👇
The episode is titled: "Bitcoin and the Nature of Reality"
https://d3e0luujhwn38u.cloudfront.net/resized/HANKtkNtkle36keuvDTPyuPIr5vmPYqiyZFtnxfB2Lw/s:1200/plain/s3://typefully-user-uploads/img/original/92757/bca9cfa7-d0d5-426f-aeb9-6d1e969c2068.png
This is because we explored how #Bitcoin intertwines with every layer of our reality, from personal choices to the intricacies of quantum physics.
First, the obvious takeaways:
https://d3e0luujhwn38u.cloudfront.net/resized/9dOiux9Ie9iX0nyR9oJAveuPUDdT4-9Wck35GPxTtD0/s:1200/plain/s3://typefully-user-uploads/img/original/92757/adacd479-5ba2-4fbc-afbc-89660f9d8d77.webp
Bitcoin will fundamentally change how productivity & wealth flow, making it accessible globally.
More than just money, it's a revolutionary system that will reshape economic & social structures.
Deflation, because of course Jeff covers deflation!
https://d3e0luujhwn38u.cloudfront.net/resized/plbBluk2wFDnyHgPbWnbbIEdPTC4cjaTrQfqVeO3z8w/s:1200/plain/s3://typefully-user-uploads/img/original/92757/29e291c9-4e9d-49c2-857b-a65edcc79c0b.webp
Technology naturally drives prices down to production costs, leading to deflation in a free market.
Current economic systems, inflated by fiat currencies, resist this natural deflationary pressure.
Now some deeper philosophical topics:
Bitcoin as a Noise Remover:
https://d3e0luujhwn38u.cloudfront.net/resized/xWQXR2JW1BbaeLNjGl5izcoOJ4OvgTxZ6jNoxuaLGAI/s:1200/plain/s3://typefully-user-uploads/img/original/92757/bfa33924-83a5-42fd-ba6b-323040baa93c.webp
Bitcoin cuts through the noise and distortions in a fiat-dominated world.
What remains is the signal - we need to find that ourselves, but #Bitcoin makes it easier!
Love and Belonging:
https://d3e0luujhwn38u.cloudfront.net/resized/LRwJAqJhum3ZuW80mpwKd5gLv3MChvrkEin256wsZjQ/s:1200/plain/s3://typefully-user-uploads/img/original/92757/a527f792-d58f-4e8b-a0d8-2ccf4003d2ef.webp
We're all searching for love and belonging. Each of us wants to matter, as the stars of our own movies.
Grasping this helps us empathize and understand the actions of others.
There is room for everyone in Bitcoin:
https://d3e0luujhwn38u.cloudfront.net/resized/Ylum4vnDUax8LgTR0h8zqLziDP7RyvdAjaKsAFSFNUc/s:1200/plain/s3://typefully-user-uploads/img/original/92757/abf88db8-80db-45f8-8d41-7bd72fc711ef.webp
Bitcoin is an open network - if you're wondering how to get involved in the space, just get started!
Connect with people, find Bitcoiners and Bitcoin companies you're interested in working with.
And just start!

Well today is fun. PV Nostrland!

2023-03-13 04:39:38

Last week, I asked Nostr (and Twitter) for the best resources about Bitcoin mining's environmental impact. The goal is to use these resources to help orange-pill an environmentally focused friend. I've reviewed everything, and here are some of the best resources🧵👇
https://media.nostrgram.co/i/68/media_68bc7609ae046.jpg
First up: the articles. Articles are a great way to convey a specific piece of information while being both informative and including enough detail to get to the nuance. Here are many of the best articles I found on the topic:
1. #[0]'s @#[0] Bitcoin energy piece. This is a comprehensive overview of Bitcoin's energy usage, from Bitcoin's purpose to why proof of work is necessary. Well written and easy to read, this is one of the best articles on the topic.
https://www.lynalden.com/bitcoin-energy/
2. RFI Response: Climate Implications of Digital Assets by Margot Paez and Troy Cross through the Bitcoin Policy Institute.
This paper is a response to common FUD, in this case from the US government. It covers the key points and is full of links for further research.
https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/627aa615676bdd1d47ec97d4/62f41b9ce54e014f9869efa7_OSTP.docx.pdf
3. Bitcoin: Let's Start from Scratch by #[1] @#[1]
A ground up orange pill article directly aimed at the environmental side of things. One of many great articles by Daniel, but he recommends to start with this one and I agree. Check everything out on his website regardless!
https://batcoinz.com/bitcoin-lets-start-from-scratch/
4. The Humanitarian and Environmental Case for Bitcoin by Alex Gladstein @#[2]
Alex Gladstein has multiple excellent articles from the humanitarian perspective of Bitcoin, and this one covers the environmental side very well too. I suggest reading all of his major pieces, and he has a book coming out that I'm very much looking forward to!
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/bitcoin-is-humanitarian-and-environmental
5. Bitcoin Mining and the Environment by #[3] @#[3]
High level thoughts from #[3] on the topic of Bitcoin mining and the environment. More compact than the others, and includes references from the Bitcoin Mining Council.
https://www.michael.com/en/resources/bitcoin-mining-and-the-environment
6. Bitcoin is a Pioneer Species by #[4] @#[4]
Another comprehensive article built around the analogy relating Bitcoin to a pioneer species in ecology. A different angle to approach the topic that I find quite compelling.
Next up are the podcast episodes, useful for people who prefer to listen to their content. Here are my favorite podcast episodes on Bitcoin's environmental impact 👇
1. Troy Cross on What Bitcoin Did - his appearances are must listen/watch for information about Bitcoin and the environment. Troy's thesis about Bitcoin and energy is well worth listening to!
He's been on the show 4 times, and all are great.
https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/troy-cross
2. Shaun Connell on What Bitcoin Did - Shaun appears once alone, and once with Troy Cross - his episodes include valuable information about how #bitcoin energy markets really work.
https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/bitcoin-energy-markets
3. Steve Barbour and Nate Harmon on What Bitcoin Did - The two have a spirited but healthy debate about climate change and Bitcoin's role in it. Good points from all sides and well worth listening to.
https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/a-climate-change-debate
4. Nate has a great episode on his own covering Bitcoin mining in the ocean using OTEC technology, highlighting an innovative use for Bitcoin mining to promote sustainable energy.
https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/bitcoin-unleashing-an-ocean-of-energy
5. Next, many great articles have been read by #[5] @#[5] on Bitcoin Audible including some already mentioned here, and further articles on the topic are also here.
You can find the articles from the podcast library and filtering for energy:
https://bitcoinaudible.com/library/
I couldn't find #[0]'s energy piece from the library, but here is the Apple Podcasts link: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/read-550-bitcoins-energy-use-isnt-a-problem-heres/id1359544516?i=1000531790906
Finally, I'll end with two upcoming book 📚 recommendations - I can't wait for both to be out, and I know that they both will make a great contribution to the Bitcoin environmental narrative, and addressing the environment specifically. 👇
1. The first book is The Progressive Case for Bitcoin by Jason Maier @#[6]
This book will cover common arguments against #Bitcoin by progressives, including the environmental angle.
You can hear more from Jason's appearance on What Bitcoin Did: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/a-progressives-case-for-bitcoin
2. Finally, Abundance Through Scarcity by Ioni Appelberg
Ioni makes wonderful animated videos, many with #[5] and Knut Svanholm, and he will be coming out with this book soon.
He has discussed the upcoming book on the Freedom Footprint Show: https://youtu.be/RF2AXDreVUg
Bonus: Ioni, Guy, and Knut's video Orange is the New Green is a great video take on the topic!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0YBOyI8ptE
That's a wrap! Thanks everyone who answered the original Note and Tweet! There were so many responses, I haven't included everything here, but you can find even more resources in those conversations.

In the latest episode of the Freedom Footprint Show, Ben de Wall joined Knut Svanholm and BtcPseudoFinn for a thought-provoking, varied conversation. Originally from New Zealand, Ben comes from a software development and coding background. His range of interests and knowledge is impressive and his passion for Bitcoin is long-lasting. A perfect combo for our show!
In the episode, Ben and Knut go head to head as we explore the concepts of capitalism, the free market and we delve into the distinction between possession and ownership, the validity of contracts, and intellectual property. We also approach difficult concepts often used against libertarianism - national defense, immigration, and big governments - and we highlight interesting alternatives such as Rojava in Northeastern Syria and Christiania in Copenhagen.
The show is out now on Youtube and on all podcast platforms!

In the latest episode of the Freedom Footprint Show, Pietro Battistella and Knut Svanholm discuss the importance of timing and the human factor in technological discoveries and Bitcoin. Drawing from his book “Bitcoin Technics and Time,” Battistella explains how technics are becoming increasingly autonomous, and how this force exists in every field of human knowledge, not just technology.
Technics can be defined as the undefined increase of the ability to achieve goals through the deployment of means in a way that is always more efficient, always faster, and generally better. The idea is that given the right economic, political, and especially technological conditions, technics and innovations will emerge spontaneously, to the point that the individual who discovers them becomes less like a fundamental factor and more like a catalyst in the process.
This is the concept of inevitability of discovery: if somebody doesn’t make a specific discovery, given the right conditions, someone else will eventually get to the same result in a process that is much more autonomous than we can think. Battistella argues that we can observe this through history, in how discoveries have often emerged at similar times in very different parts of the world.
Now, let’s connect this idea to Bitcoin and Satoshi. The underlying techniques and ideologies that drive Bitcoin - encryption, a distributed ledger, and the need for a decentralized currency with a fixed supply - already existed. Could we consider Satoshi just a catalyst then? He brought together the ideas into the Bitcoin we know today, but hadn’t he done that, someone else could have eventually created something very similar. Or could they?
It's clear how specific the circumstances surrounding the emergence of Bitcoin are and the particular role that Satoshi played. Had he disappeared one day later or not at all, what would have happened? Had the fixed supply or block size been different, would it be the same? We must also consider the role played by humans in shaping Bitcoin. As Knut points out, we can’t ignore that there is still a prominent human component in the process of becoming and adopting Bitcoin since the system is built on a consensus.
Given the uniqueness of the parameters that shaped Bitcoin into what we know today, can we know that it would have worked under different ones? What do you think? Would Bitcoin be what it is today without Satoshi’s intervention?
