Never in the history of the world had it been possible to transfer value between peoples without relying on a trusted intermediary, such as a bank. In 2008 Satoshi Nakamoto published a 9 page solution to a long-standing problem of computer science known as the Byzantine General’s Problem. Nakamoto’s solution and the system he built from it — Bitcoin — allowed, for the first time ever, value to be quickly transferred, at great distance, in a completely trustless way. #bitcoin #money #currency
Good news, everyone, I managed to remember to renew the weirder.earth a day before it expired so I know that tomorrow is our one year anniversary of having this domain! :)

Giving money to your admin to keep things running or to the Mastodon project are great ways to give back and help your community.
Giving money to support individual users on Mastodon who need money and resources is just as if not more helpful and important.
Support the poor in your community. Pay the artists. Spread the resources around. Make this place as healthy and punk rock as possible.
