In this episode of bitcoin monthly we discussed the Oslo Freedom Forum and how people around the world are using bitcoin to escape oppressive governments and protect themselves from hyperinflation. Here’s a link tho the livestream 2023 Day 1 https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/oslo-freedom-forum-2023.
We dig into the recent fuckery from the Apple App Store and its censorship rampage with damus, blixt, and zeus.
We dig into some #bullish or maybe not so bullish metrics “Total supply minus illiquid supply. Illiquid supply is defined as entities that spend less than 25% of their holdings.”

SECURE YOUR BITCOIN IN MARINE GRADE, 316L STAINLESS STEEL!
As always please feel free to reach out and ask me any questions.
In todays episode I spoke with SeedSigner (The man), Keith Mukai (Lead Dev) and Nick Klockenga (Lead maintainer) about the recent updates to the Seed signer project.
Before we dive into it lets remind ourselves what the seed signer project is and why its so important.
What is SeedSigner?
SeedSigner offers anyone the opportunity to build a verifiably air-gapped, stateless Bitcoin signing device using inexpensive, publicly available hardware components (usually < $50). SeedSigner helps users save with Bitcoin by assisting with trustless private key generation and multi-signature wallet setup, and helps users transact with Bitcoin via a secure, air-gapped QR-exchange signing model.
You can use SeedSigner to complete these tasks:
To build a SeedSigner you will need the following components.
– Raspberry Pi Zero version 1.3 (not “W”)
– Waveshare 1.3 LCD Hat (240 x 240 pixels)
– Aokin / AuviPal/ (other) RPI Camera
– “Orange Pill” Enclosure
Now that we have reminded ourselves what the project is and why its here we can continue.
What I love about SS is anyone in the world can build one without anybody knowing they have it, this is especially useful in countries where freedom money is not welcome. I’ve been following this project for a few years now and continue to be impressed by the vision and team. Since I last spoke to SS they have built a new operating system helping with faster boot times as well as reducing the attack surface. As well as talking technical updates we also discus the pros and cons of working with a fully open source project and why the team are so passionate about what they do. It was really interesting to hear how the three team members met and how they have been working together to help refine and build this incredible project.
It was a pleasure speaking to the SeedSigner team and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording this. If you enjoyed the episode, please let us know by liking and/or subscribing to the video and podcast. Do it now please you lazy fcuk.

Cryptosovereignty is the personal power, economic liberty, and political praxis that exist in bitcoin directly, crypto assets generally, and the internet widely. It is the power of any single human — no matter their station of birth, class of wealth, or creed of faith — to choose to put their economic, social, and political rights into a new digital common-wealth that is inviolable and beyond the power of any and all governments to violate.
"[We will not find a solution to political problems in cryptography] Yes, but we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years. Governments are good at cutting off the heads of a centrally controlled networks like Napster, but pure P2P networks like Gnutella and Tor seem to be holding their own." –Satoshi Nakamoto

Ordinal and Inscription shitcoiners hand over millions of sats to miners.
April showers bring May flowers, but over the past few week April showers have brought miners May Transaction fees as a percentage of Block Reward. The pain miners have felt over the past year has temporarily been relieved by inscription and ordinal enthusiasts willing to part with sats to have their girlfriend’s breast size recorded for all eternity on the Bitcoin Blockchain. Bringing to mind a few aphorisms, A fool and his money are soon parted." And "A fool may earn money, but it takes a wise man to keep it." Well ordinal and inscription enjoyers, the Pleb Miners will gladly take your sats.
Explore the Tx fees as a % of block reward, hash value, and hash price yourself on Lincoin Lens, it’s kind of fun, if you’re a complete nerd, like we are.
BitBuyBit, Pleb Miner Monthly, Pleb Miner Month, ACTION NEWS UPDATE!!!, Bitesize Bitcoin, FUD Buster, Meshtadel, and a number of great articles are all available on Ungovernable Misfits.
This episode of ACTION NEWS UPDATE!!! Was brought to you by Bitcoin 101 and their 2nd annual Lake Satoshi Bitcoin meetup @ Bitcoin Beach North in Laingsburg, MI. Visit their Bitcoin101.io site under “events” to learn more. Ungovernable Misfits representatives will be there recording the action, giving away Pleb Miner swag, and perhaps an ASIC! Don’t miss out on this Pleb event!
In this episode I had a wide ranging conversation with Expatriotic who has been getting more involved In the bitcoin scene after a long period of shitcoinery and diving into the dirty world of defi. It was interesting to hear from his perspective why this was enticing as well as why he eventually decided bitcoin had to be the focus. We went on to discus living in Asia and an upcoming move to china for him and his family. Ex explained some of the cultural differences he experiences and how his move to china for work was agreed prior to getting deeper into the bitcoin rabbit hole and more specifically the privacy and security scene. The information Ex has learned about the surveillance state is obviously a concern and we discus different options to move freely through the borders with bitcoin as safely as possible. For this one suggestion was to use border wallets a fantastic free and open source option created by friends of the show @GhostofMTC and @superphatarrow here’s the website if this could be of interest to you. borderwallets.com
The other option we discussed was to store a backup on an encrypted micro sd using a passport from foundation devices. This is a great option for someone who can store the password in a password manager or elsewhere separate to the SD card.
Ex has been writing a blog and guides on his website for a few months now and I've really appreciated the simple layout and easily accessible information, he explained this started as a way for him to talk about bitcoin without driving himself and everyone else around him mad. This is a common theme with those of us new to bitcoin as we want to share this incredible technology with the world and also reveal some of the darker sides of the current financial system and world at large. Relaying this information to the majority of normal folks is incredibly frustrating and often goes nowhere so putting the information out in blog, video or podcast format can help satisfy the need to talk about it without the frustrating interactions. I really enjoyed this conversation and found Expatriotics honesty around previous thought patterns refreshing. If you enjoyed the episode, please let us know by liking and/or subscribing to the video and podcast. Do it now please you lazy fcuk.
