“Bhutan has mined over $1 billion worth of bitcoin using its previously stranded hydropower resources”
We are so early
Wait until every authority on earth realizes they can transform waste into unstoppable, unseizable money
That will be the true gradually then suddenly moment

Why the Bitcoin <> Nostr <> Ecash stack is a whitepill moment, in 14 minutes
It can be a depressing world, but with these tools we can quite literally grow superpowers
The opportunities we have today to empower others are beyond our own imaginations
Onwards!

One amazing thing I learned about (out of many) at the ecash conference
A router for sharing internet
Someone from India, living in a place with a lot of internet access problems, built a set-up where people can buy internet without having any internet in the first place. 1 sat per minute
He built a captive portal that you log into and the page says — I take ecash from this one mint, get ecash from there and paste it into this text box — you paste it in, hit enter, and you’re online
You’ve made an offline payment and voila, you're now online
There are many exciting Bitcoin developments happening but it's becoming more clear that ecash is a wholly different, complementary technology that does different things, including many things that Bitcoin can't do no matter how many upgrades it gets

Some Nostr client needs to design an algo where I just see posts from home miners showing off their sick new setups

Lots of debate about the Saylor / Saifedean conversation
I thought it was really interesting
No one really knows what credit will look like in a Bitcoin Standard
They both make good points
I tend to think that (young, less capitalized, etc) people will of course still borrow to buy a car or or a home, to Michael's point
But I also agree with some of Saifdean's points about the inevitable decline in value of government debt
People seemed to hyperlock onto a short clip of it on X and spit takes instead of listening to the whole thing which is unfortunate
There's way too much 100% agreement in this space so a 2-hour animated conversation with two people who do share a lot in common but really disagree strongly on some stuff and aren't afraid to push back is very refreshing

I had the pleasure to work with Reason on this Nostr explainer video this summer
Happy to see it in the wild!

Trump's monetary policy seems to be:
1) Devalue the dollar (to become more competitive with manufacturing)
2) Force other countries to still use it (through a 100% tariff on countries who try to use other currencies)
Post-fiat historians will look back at these times with a lot of wonder and fascination

I had the honor to interview María Corina Machado, the leader of the Venezuelan opposition, about how fiat money was weaponized against the Venezuelan people by the Chávez and Maduro regimes
She says Bitcoin is a "lifeline" and "vital means of resistance" and said that a future democratic Venezuelan government will use Bitcoin to rebuild the national reserves that the Chávistas stole and put Venezuela back on a path to peace and prosperity
I've put out a lot of content in the past few years but I think this is the most important thing I've done -- the implications are vast considering a) Venezuela is one of the world's largest energy exporters with some of the world's largest oil reserves and b) María Corina Machado is not some rogue leader or dictator but a US ally
I hope you can watch 🇻🇪 https://m.primal.net/KfiC.mov
