Dear #Bitcoin family, The AON campaign for Proof of Work wrapped up successfully. Thank you ❤️ A few of you wrote in asking how to still get a copy, so I’ve opened a simple pre-order page here: geyser.fund/project/proofofw… I am grateful to have met y'all. Abrazos :) Namaste, Paco

Seedless self-custody cannot mean no authorization material whatsoever. If you can lose every key, device, backup, credential, and recovery path — yet still recover your bitcoin — then so can someone else. We need to improve the authorization UX though. #bitcoin
Seed phrases are holding back Bitcoin adoption.

Namast humans of #bitcoin To all the folks going to conferences, pause for a moment. Look at the wrinkles on the faces around you, and on your own too. In the years spent chasing the next thing.We are all ageing. Quietly & relentlessly. And yet we keep moving outward. More flights, more stages, more AI, more possessions, more hyperbitcoinized futures. As if the answer is always out there, one more conference away. The wrinkles are trying to tell you something. That time is passing. That the inward journey, the one into stillness, into self, into what actually matters, keeps getting postponed. The ancient Vedics saw this. Thousands of years ago, they turned inward, built entire civilisations of thought, of consciousness, of self inquiry. History remembers them for it. The world will always have another conference. Another revolution. Another thing to chase. Your inner life will wait only so long. La vida es beautiful, enjoy habibis :) Have a great weekend. Paco

Oh Derek oxygen and hydrogen , both is needed :)
3.5 years ago I deleted this account thinking my absence would send a message. It just removed my voice from the conversation. I'm back because the mission hasn't changed and I realized I made a mistake. Bitcoin and Nostr still need to reach the people who haven't heard. You don't purple and orange pill people by leaving. You meet them where they are. The purple pill helps the orange pill go down.

Hashrate is the speed of hash attempts. Miners keep trying until one hash falls below Bitcoin’s target. On average, the network finds one block every 10 minutes. #bitaxe(1.2 TH/s) shows it to you on your desk: Power in. Hashes produced. Bonus: you might find a block. #bitaxe

Gaudí began the Sagrada Família in 1882. He died in 1926 and the construction continued for nearly 100 more years after him. His secret? "First love, then technique." When the work comes from love, it outlives you.

What is my book about ? Into the Wild meets The #bitcoin Standard Part adventure memoir, part financial manifesto, part love letter to the Global South. It is the story of what happens when one stubborn idealist takes an idea seriously enough to nearly die for it. Hugs :)

Indian media remains silent instead of condemning the US attack on Indian civilians. Thanks Al Jazeera for reporting this.

Firstly, Ethiopia is under US sanctions while Vietnam is not. And speaking of former French colonies, Haiti was the first to get independence (1804) and is still one of the poorest countries in the world because of the debt they had to take on to gain independence (it took them until 1947 to fully repay it!). Whereas, New Caledonia is still a French colony and is neither rich nor poor. "If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor..." This line completely ignores the European powers' (and US) post-colonial control over Africa. Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the DRC, was tortured and killed by Belgium and the US for being a nationalist. His body was dissolved in acid so he wouldn't become a martyr. His legacy is largely unknown even within the continent. Several other such "lessons" were meted out. Google Thomas Sankara (Burkina Faso) and Sylvanus Olympio (Togo). Once you set the example, you gain obedience. The VietCong, on the other hand, didn't surrender even though 3 million Vietnamese died during the war, and several thousand more continue to die to this day (!) from Agent Orange exposure. As for former French colonies in Africa, France still controls their currency and holds their central bank reserves in France. As Rothschild purportedly said, "permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws." Third, the borders in Africa were drawn in such a way that conflict was inevitable. At the Berlin Conference in 1884-85, the European powers simply carved up the continent by drawing straight line borders. African leaders were conspicuous only by their absence at this historic event which shaped the next century. This is why Cameroon, a French-speaking country, has a minority English-speaking territory, ensuring it remains destabilized. Likewise for West Asia/the Middle East, where the Sykes-Picot legacy lives on. @magattew conflates formal colonial rule with colonial control. Vietnam managed to fully kick out both France and the US, reunified the North and the South, and kept its sovereignty. All African leaders who attempted the same have been systematically eliminated (see Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's divisive leader, for a recent example), ensuring Africa forever bears the open wounds of its colonial legacy. But Ms. Wade is right on one thing: Vietnam owes its prosperity to overcoming colonial rule. Maybe Africa can become prosperous if Africans do the same.
Ethiopia was never colonized. For much of its history, it was one of the poorest countries on the continent. Meanwhile, Vietnam was colonized by the French, devastated by decades of war, and is now on its way to serious economic prosperity. If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor, Ethiopia should be rich and Vietnam should be broke. Neither is true. Can we please retire this excuse?
