Recent Notes

I read today that only 8% of people in El Salvador occasionally use bitcoin for the exchange of goods and services.

Kind of sounds like top-down bitcoin adoption is a fool's errand. Just a thought for some of you thirsty statists.

The (not exactly) irony is that it started bottom up, with Bitcoin Beach

probably more than anywhere else in the world though. But also 7.9% are using chivo 😹

🚨✨CONCUSSION RECOVERY UPDATE:

I'm now in week four of recovery. Overall, a lot better. Working memory is slowly getting better, but it's kind of like a foggy feeling of having to retrain myself to remember things. The best way I can describe it is like this, "What did I eat for breakfast? I don't know, that's too hard to remember. Wait, maybe I know... Let me try. OK, it was yogurt with fruit and nuts."

I'm doing cardio still. It was helping and also leaving me feeling fatigued, so I have only been able to do 3 times a week. My normal is exercising 4–5 times a week. Going to try to hit 4 days this week.

Over the last several days, I have transitioned onto a keto diet. There's enough studies out there that show that the ketogenic diet is really useful for recovering from a TBI/concussion. So far, carb cravings are the hardest thing about this diet. 🤣 But that seems to be leveling off. Excuse to eat more fat? Yes, please.

I still need a lot of sleep. I have a lot of 10.5 hour nights, which isn't common for me. I tend to average 7.5 hours per night. Last night I got ~9.5 hours. I often wake up feeling sad. I think this is partly due to circumstance (sudden life change, routine disruption, can't engage in my favorite activities) and partly due to my neurons being stretched and injured. I'm grateful for my friends, they have gone above and beyond in terms of trying to keep me happy.

Today is my first day back to work. I consider it a positive sign that I have so far spent the morning trying to organize my browser tabs. Messy browser tabs is very bad!

Hopefully soon, I can get back to posting savage takedowns and controversial insights about bitcoin. Until then, thanks for your support!! 🧡

Wishing you the best Margot. Unfortunately, it seems I haven't been active here during the times that you've been sharing notes, and this is the first I've heard of your concussion, but I'm happy to hear you're on the road to recovery. 💜

Bitcoin doesn’t belong to any one person. But there are plenty who will try to take ownership of it. Why would you try to make it easier for them? Some narratives sound good on face value, but they are empty and designed to trick you into relinquishing your ability to decide the future of bitcoin.

In this techno-dystopian landscape, we must all become cypherpunks. Both online and in the physical. I do not believe that knowing how to code is necessary, nor sufficient to see the mission to completion. We need a philosophy to guide us.

The narratives lately have been lacking a cohesive philosophical line. So many drunk on short-term power trips and NGU gains. But these are short-term and will not win in the long run.

I will fight for the bitcoin that empowers the many over the few. Privacy for the weak. Freedom to transact for the vulnerable. A way out for those who want it, but for a more free, sustainable, and egalitarian future, not oligarchic enslavement.

I am not the only one.

Random Internet doctor hopes you feel better soon, but of influenza, expect at least 7 days of feeling like crap, sometimes 14, with lingering cough for longer. It's one of the reasons I get the flu shot - even the 2-3 days I feel crappy after the shot are better than actually getting a real influen...

Great! Where can I send the paper to? Telegram? Email? The paper is about 80% complete, the physics is “done”, but the conclusion is still missing…$100k last night was a bit distracting. It’s enough to get the point and convey the urgency. I would like to keep the paper private atleast u...
