Hey, nostriches. Sometimes reading notes/posts of others traveling the world to attend conferences makes me feel like there's this inside club. This isn't completely fair because there are those who genuinely share connections with like-valued people. Authentic connections are really bullish. They're awesome. It's when people just brag about their fancy travels that I'm turned off. I say all of that up front because my experience in El Salvador last week falls into the bullish, wonderful people bucket. It started with the Mi Primer Bitcoin "Unconference" event that was full of bitcoin-educators. This was followed by two days of Adopting Bitcoin. The venue was different but the attendees were all high-signal bitcoiners. To everyone who helped organize these I'm so grateful. Thank you! To everyone I got to hang out with, it was an honor. I love spending time with bitcoiners. To everyone who could not attend, we missed you and hope you can join next year. Cheers!

As more people learn about Bitcoin, more will understand what proof-of-work really means. I created a 21% off code for our POW apparel. In the spirit of scarcity, this code is limited to 5 people. First come, first serve. The code is "871114", the block height when I set this up yesterday. URL is www.freemarketkids.com.

Read "Dumbing Us Down" on return trip from Adopting Bitcoin. It's been on my list for a long time and I regret not reading it earlier. This is a must-read for parents and future parents.

As we wrap up the last month and half of this insane year, this is the absolutely best gift for a bitcoiner. It's the best bitcoin game ever. It's the highest quality edition ever. Get it for yourself and just ask your significant other to wrap it. In the spirit of scarcity, I created ONLY ONE coupon code so whoever uses it first, gets it. The code is "871112". That's the current block height as I set this up. It's 21% off which at the current exchange rate is just over 57,000 sats. Cheers!

Just saying GM ... Updates from Adopting Bitcoin coming soon as well as some very cool deals for bitcoin gifts for the holidays. Cheers & Happy Hodling!

Had the cool opportunity to see Congressman Massie while wearing my own copy of the debt badge. Pretty funny moment ... Thought I'd share ...

End the FED. End the ED.

I have always respected those who take action over those who yell at clouds. I'm guilty of doing too much of the latter and too little of the former. Today, though, I visited our Country Clerk to introduce her to the case study SimpleProof and Immutable Democracy. Thank you, Carlos @Simple Proof ,for leading the way in Guatemala. It's late in this election cycle to make changes but it's fulfilling to start the process. We have follow ups post-election. We all do. Carlos has been a bunch of different podcasts so I know I'm missing some people but tagging those I recall quickly @npub1s5yq...6q7z @TFTC @Guy Swann @Daniel Prince @ODELL @Tali | Orange Hatter @Bitcoin Veterans Apologies to anyone I missed ... Cheers!

Yes, homeschooling conventions really exist.  They are valuable for parents whether you homeschool or not, whether you can attend in person or not.  In this week’s episode of Bitcoin Homeschoolers we share some cool ideas we found at the GHC Cincinnati event. Self-custody money = #bitcoin Self-custody speech = #nostr Self-custody education = #homeschool
