all Bitcoiners of the past, present, and future are building this beautiful and powerful bedrock - perhaps Bitcoin will outlive medieval castles.

Bank CEOs apologize at best for laundering this amount; more typically, they send an underling to do it for them. The fines are paid by the bank so CEOs just get away with it. This again is a blatant injustice. While most people feel powerless to push back at this time, but they will make a mental note. Years later elections are lost because of it and the elites are scratching their heads far too late.
Thank you for the jacket nostr:nprofile1qqs2hlev9zd74hmenmt5ka5mxzhtux9vvs2e32fwxudu4v5a9htuytspr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uq3uamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd4shs6tdv93kjarpv3jkctn0wfnj7qfqwaehxw309a3x7um5wgh8jmmwd3jjumr9vd682unfveujumn9wshs5g7j44 🙏🏻

You may have heard the advice to set your goals high and ambitious. This may seem counterintuitive for people who just started a new project and see more risk in goals being too bold rather than too humble. This post is a spontaneous reaction to a sensation I had this morning. The sensation that we are at the beginning of the next wave of massive successes for Bitcoin. The successes will come from increased purchasing power, the adoption by more and more groups of our society, the goodwill it will enjoy, and even some life-saving stories. With it, we will hear about the celebration of adopters and the frustration of critiques being wrong again. We will read about cases of new wealth well-spent, successful Bitcoiners who lost their minds, and those who were robbed. However, what occurred to me was none of the above. I thought about how goals provide guidance and orientation in life. With the next success wave (call it bull run, if you will), we will also see goals met or pulverized. And with each goal met, we lose a guiding star. Just think of it. Let the purchasing power of Bitcoin go to one million US dollars (of the kind 2024). I bet there will be aspects of and behavior in many Bitcoiner's lives that will no longer make sense. Achieving goals comes with fanfare and feels excellent. Losing goals is silent and may be noticed only months later, and without goals, we may start to meander and float. Please do yourself a favor, plan for success, and set your goals accordingly. Small goals may be good and helpful tactics, but they will not survive. Figure out what will keep you motivated and aligned with reality at the height of the next bull run. Find your eternal goals that follow your successes.

I am thinking mainly of an easy way to access my network remotely.
What do you Bitcoiners think of tailscale? Is this software I should consider as part of my Bitcoin setup?

MindlinerTre is back up again 🫡 (note to self: don't store the router config backup on a server that is inaccessible should the router die) nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzq0dhefp236puqj749n5rd2vp3dhfq5hfuw4gt53v9v78zhcjr7t0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qqsrznc5k40qt0ue6vm5zsegsf7wlf92xvq77qznq2l8rx2qgasdpqczhydcz

Router died last night - MindlinerTre down, Mountainlake services down 😑, need to upgrade my setup a notch , sorry for any trouble ( https://amboss.space/node/02d695b01c7a6909e716c863fb39bc5fb7bbdc3824b7fdce53adc593e5be080e73)
"Imagine being an expert in the very fields that overlap Bitcoin and getting it wrong not once but continuously over several years in front of a large audience - and costing your family generational wealth along the way. Although bitcoin proponents often carry bias-inducing bags of bitcoin, bitcoin critics often carry much bigger bags of lost opportunity. But unlike bitcoin proponents who can sell their bitcoin for fiat currency at any time, bitcoin critics can't unload their opportunity costs. It's too late. They'd have to change the past. Opportunity costs, like diamonds, are forever." - copied from "Resistance Money" by nostr:npub1yezu4atsdgchvlyjz5efwks8n7ze2rssq674qe04m5pp8e5y32tqfdawc7, nostr:npub10afr060h0g3vf2ykynr6cvw2u7ta3tzpgjczfyufp420aeeen0xszf0xj0, and nostr:npub1jddnc9ma408dey575wcsqhg5jtc2n7765y4gdnnrswlwgqnnat7swe4s60

This is different as Saylor's future purchase of Bitcoin will make all our sats go up and thereby strengthen the entire space as we need to spend less sats to pay for our lives.
LoRa is using up desk space quickly - the reason for me to go down this route is to (one day) send ecash over radio. #meshtastic

*Rudd (sorry)
Ulrich Bindseil and Jürgen Schaaf from the ECB have recently posted a paper entitled "The distributional consequences of Bitcoin." (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4985877). It contains a collection of one-sided or poor takes that have been addressed in detail and with precision by Ruud et al. of the Satoshi Action Fund here (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/385134405_Challenging_Bias_in_the_ECB's_Bitcoin_Analysis). Thank you Murray Rudd, Allen Farrington, Freddie New, and Dennis Porter.

I started the day by scrubbing 78000 sats off an old signing device, leaving no sats behind.
