You’ve read lots of #Bitcoin non-fiction. But what about a fiction thriller where Bitcoin takes center stage?

@gergis terrible aesthetic for this series and its tone and milieu. We have all 20+ of the books and have read all of them.

@Devon_Eriksen_ I've experienced this with my Bitcoin thriller series: yes I know my books are not Shakespeare, Austen, Tolkien, Lewis. That's okay. Take them on their own merits, for what they promise, do they deliver?

@LawrenceLepard @CaitlinLong_ @jeromehpowell On the other hand, probably all Fed Chairs would have done the same. Even if Powell is a Fair-weather Fed Chair, would a replacement be any better for such an institution?

@SullyMichaelvan Great plan!!

viewing from the outside, certainly you can make that dismissive quip. But the fact is that the Church has 2,000 years of Tradition and rules that are not ad hoc and that even bind the Pope. So, for instance, the last ex cathedra dogmatic declaration was 75 years ago and began "We pronounce, declare and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma..." of the Assumption. In other words, the Pope said "Simon says" there very clearly, and Pope Francis has never done it. Not once. Nor is he likely to.

Permaculture orchard update: this winter/spring I'm trying out several natural/organic pest control methods: - nematodes - kaolin clay - copper - apple coddling moth traps Our main nemesis is the plum curculio, which attacks our peaches and other stone fruits.

How about instead we disband NATO, which has long outlived its original purpose and usefulness, except for empire-hungry neocons?

As a former atheist turned former Protestant turned Catholic, and with respect to your Anglo-phile leanings, the Reformation resolved nothing. The pope can say lots of things, and infallibility does NOT prevent him from opining, erroneously, on many topics, and saying things that are in fact contrary to Catholic doctrine. Take his comments on immigration: they present one aspect of Catholic teaching, but ignore the other side. God has given the charism of infallibility as a negative protection against error to the Church (including the pope in a special way) but only under certain constraints. The pope's opinion about the jab, for instance, does not qualify. And even the pope saying something at a press conference or to a reporter or on an airplane flight does not make it a magisterial or infallible statement. I know that you will not agree with this--I've read many things you've written--but as a Catholic I want to provide the apologia.

@finance_camel Just to be clear, I'm not Ken, but Ken is a good friend of mine. I don't think he's on X. And he told me all about what he sent you, etc. Long and strong, Camel Crew!

amazing that this priest was so nettled by you that he dedicated an entire chapter to accusing you of not being Catholic. Such an accusation is itself extremely reckless, especially from a priest, as it is tantamount to claiming someone is a fraud, a liar, a hypocrite, and therefore is an accusation of serious in. Shameful for this priest to do this. Prayers for him.

great interview on Sensus Fidelium with @1armsteve and the author

Hard to believe that Powell was surprised or didn't know about the debanking. I'm sure he did, but he also is savvy and knows that you don't kick against the goads of whatever the current administration is too hard, or you'll get into trouble. Business as usual. Carry on.

In Book #3, the hero (an atheist) will try out Pascal's Wager for God's existence, much like the famous mathematician, John von Neumann, did shortly before he died.

@dlongenecker1 beautiful saints. May we join them in Heaven one day!

In Book #3 of the Fiefdom Chronicles, which I'm currently writing, the hero goes to "Ft Benning," not the recently renamed "Ft Moore." A small way to say No to the ministry of truth's attempt to rewrite history over the past four years.

I worked with this priest before he entered seminary at a tech company in Austin. He and his good friend both entered at the same time: his friend discerned that he was called to marriage and married a friend of mine, and this priest was ordained and has been a great blessing to many!

@MLiamMcCollum @elonmusk @RonPaul @DanielLMcAdams Imagine if Powell's legacy was the hand the keys over to Dr. Paul, who then turned off the lights at the Eccles Building?

@HumbleFlow In my novel, the hero stumbles across a riddle that mentions "the Last Crusader" and it leads him to a chapel in Mexico where an artist painted the ceiling with the Battle of Lepanto (Don Juan of Austria)

@CryptoKenshiro except my buddy @BrantlyMillegan where someone went on a hunt through seven years of tweets and found one that the woke mob got him fired and cancelled over. But most people aren't Brantly, so there's that

Justin that's big! Reviews are crucial for indie authors like me. You motivated me to go into KDP (Amazon's print on demand service), and I just hit Publish on both the paperback and Kindle versions of the book. It can take 72 hours for them to go live but sometimes it is faster. Of course, their systems could find a problem with the book to and that would delay the publication, but that's not likely.
