New episode of Local Bitcoiners!
Rev and Reed share stories from their recent Bitcoin meetups and dig into how AI is rapidly becoming part of the Bitcoin culture conversation — from vibe coding to the tools bitcoiners are using to build and connect. The episode explores the "meshtadel" concept, a decentralized mesh of local Bitcoin meetups that together form a resilient, sovereign network no single point of failure can take down. The takeaway is simple: use the tools available to you, grow your local community, and recognize that hyperbitcoinization starts in your own backyard.

Zapped then zapped again. @Reverend Hodl to victory!

You're a wonderful person.

Agreed about current trend in pricing, and how hard it is to forecast the future in the current environment.

Enforcement of any punishment would be at a local level, usually through sheriffs, so location is crucial. Sheriffs have a lot of power to say “no”.

For others who might read this and currently view a domicile through the net worth lens, consider these about renting.

You usually can’t control security, maintenance, impact of neighbors (especially in a multi-unit), rental price, or the moral character of the individual you have dependencies on (the landlord).

So a home is an asset that has a lot of utility that other assets don’t have. If you want to grow food, learn woodworking, and have a place to sleep - you can’t find that utility on-chain.

It may be difficult to find that combination renting as well, and anything you build may not be able to go with you and must be abandoned, destroyed, and/or restarted at your next residence.

I say this because the ability to spin-up projects, learning, family, and community that a home provides often don’t make it into spreadsheet calculations, but they are more valuable than net worth.

Since you have a timeline and use the word “position” though, I gather you are asking about investment timing as well.

Rates & prices are currently historically high. If a 2008-like event occurs in the next 5 years, then that might change dramatically, and you might want to buy.

If they keep inflating the ballon, or if they are slowly trying to deflate it, then prices and rates may stay elevated for some time.

Myself and others in our Bitcoin community are asking the same questions, and looking to make real estate buys *sometime soon*, so we’re in the same boat.

Save the jar. Even better are making your own. So easy, and takes very little time. Just buy or grow cucumbers, and add red pepper, or garlic, or just salt & pepper. 1000x better, and you’ll drink the brine.

It’s good. I liked diamond age and anathem even more…and then he jumped the shark with seveneves and reamde

And to those who complain that there “isn’t much going on on Nostr” - the positive requires more effort to create than the negative.

See contemporary music - how much is sad, angry, whining, licentious? How many artists stay positive without being shallow?

It’s easier to comment and re-post and add snark than to be positive and sincere.

But that’s the house we want to build, and the house we want to live in.

Welcome!
