I used the palette knife more than usual, it's not new to me, but every time it gives me the same feeling: freedom of gesture. Less control, more natural results. It's risky, things can go wrong. But when it works, you can tell. Not finished yet. nostr:nevent1qqsqqq999j2zcat9ct2484fzmnvmy7rhtvlk0fy589568m3ymuusnlcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsyg85mdf8p0vervtmag0x6q6lgh0w8y53ns55wja6cyp5953rca8q6qhsepcv

Attempting to Marcus Aurelius some sad feelings I find it a bit sad my friends and family aren't interested or roll their eyes at my work on bitcoin and nostr when it's something I believe in so deeply and so passionate about Trying my best to be understanding, maybe that's how I view crypto people, although I wouldn't roll my eyes at someone I love. Maybe it's how I respond to their passion for the sportsball team and they are reflecting it back to me. Maybe some there is a mixed feeling of resentment because of financial success with bitcoin, and so they want it to crash to fix their mistake of not listening, maybe they think it's unfair, maybe I am a lottery winner saying I told you so Maybe people's work is so boring that it's just normal to not take an interest in people's work. Not being interested in my work doesn't mean they aren't interested in me, maybe my identity is too wrapped up in my work, and so I'm taking it too personally

Violence is a controversial term. In military contexts and among security professional, violence and force are words of the trade. Among the general population, violence is something abnormal and counter to "civilized" life. In nature, survival really is the correct term for violence, even though violence is the means by which survival is achieved. When violence occurs, there are always two opposing forces being tested. And our terms for these are Offense and Defense. Offense is necessary to survival as much as defense is, and both are manifestations of violence. We have made so much of our society non-violent that only a small portion of our population has to engage in violence for survival (or a large part of the population for a small portion of time). But when even that small portion is removed, then whole population's survival is in jeopardy.

no. a transaction is between me and my counterparty. it isnt "a public act" unless you broadcast it to a transparent chain that anyone with Internet access can audit. there's never going to be a time where Authority just decides to NOT surveil everyone's transparent and publicly recorded transactions. it doesn't depend on the existence of fiat either, they're still coming for their taxes. even if you live completely off their radar, on a transparent chain it only takes ONE merchant doxxing you to reveal your utxo cluster. we are obviously living in an age of increasing surveillance and the normalization of a state of no-privacy. it's not debatable. they're going to map the entire utxo set. Bitcoin pseudonymity only *decreases* with time.

Legend has it that Salvador Dalí paid for dinners by drawing on the back of his checks. Nobody knows if it's entirely true. Maybe it was Picasso. Maybe the details grew over time, as beautiful stories tend to do. But the mechanism it describes is real: Dalí had turned his name into a currency. The check wasn't worth the money written on it, it was worth something because he had touched it. The restaurateur didn't cash it because he understood something fundamental: value doesn't live in the object, it lives in the consensus around it. This isn't some quirky principle of contemporary art. It's the principle behind every currency in history. Gold is valuable because enough of us decided it was. The dollar is valuable because we trust whoever issues it. Bitcoin is valuable because a sufficient number of people chose to believe in it, with no one forcing them to. The difference between a banknote and a random piece of paper isn't the material. It's the shared story we build around it. Dalí may have known this. Or maybe he didn't. But the legend knows it on his behalf. GM 🫂🎨
