Hey Dr https://t.me/BBBPC2025 This Telegram chat will help you stay on top of any bush bash logistics. See you a little later on today. Hope your flights have been restful.

It should be no problem. Tim said he is landing at a similar time, I should be able to run you both up to Palm Cove… no problem if you are not up to anything on Thursday, everything bush bash is ‘choose your own adventure’. Join in as little or as much as you want. I think Thursday afternoon we are just going to a local waterfall for a swim.

I’m picking up 3 people landing at 1&1.30pm, I have 1 spare seat at this time. Are you coming into Cairns on an international or domestic flight? If you get through airport fast enough, maybe I can fit in a 2nd run up to Palm Cove Thursday morning with you plus 1 and return to airport in time for 2nd pick up.

We are all nobodies… It’s not a status thing… it’s that there are some local activities planned Thursday afternoon and Friday that may not be on the official agenda. So I just wanted to make sure you knew someone who knew about those. If Tim knows you are coming, you are in good hands. I’m picking up a few people from the airport at about that time on Thursday. Do you have a lift organised from airport to Palm Cove?

Looking forward to welcoming you to sunny Palm Cove. When do you arrive? Do any of the organisers know you are coming?

I think you are missing the limitations of gold. There are no prefect solutions and people who think Bitcoin is the future, think it possesses better trade offs than gold. To directly address your criticisms 1. You are kind of correct and also wrong at the same time. Bitcoin is designed to be digital peer to peer cash. So if you had a $100 bill that you wanted to pay me with, I’m not particularly interested in whether that same $100 bill was used in an illicit transaction previously. Plus, the UTXOs history can be hard to follow through mixers, consolidation/splitting and through layer 2 mechanisms. 2. Bitcoin is no easier to lose than cash or gold. It requires user carelessness or stupidity to lose. The main reason lots of Bitcoin have been ‘lost’ is because, in the early days, it was worthless and the people playing with this new toy did not value it as it cost them nothing to acquire. So these early holders often threw away or sold the laptops where their Bitcoin keys were stored. I’d even suggest, the more valuable it becomes the harder it is to lose. Happy to engage further in good faith if you have more questions.
