Looks like #Ark is going to get some more traction following the latest round of $2.5 million pre-seed funding 💰💰💰Tim Draper, Fulgur Ventures, Axiom Capital, and Stephen Cole

Keen to see if this fast tracks the convenantless version of Ark 🚢 and we see the first ASPs in operation soon :)

Straight facts, hence why I am neither rich nor wealthy and I have to sell my time for fiat but this is hopefully temporary


So how did you get to learn so much about neural networks, AI, machine learning and LLMs

Lol Oh that would be the day, I wouldn't tell anyone but there will be signs

If you want to pry Bitcoin from someone off them something of value, otherwise why spend just for spending sake, that is so fiat


I can't explain how happy I am for the legend who plugged in their #BitAxe and after 3 weeks managed to solo mine a block, this one has to go down in the Bitcoin history books. Hope they #hodl and don't fumble the bag

Lol are we getting keiser report/orange pill poddy exclusive to nostr?


As someone who hates flying lol this is truly what winning looks like lol


There's a lot of data capturing for the sake of it, and not using it or needing it going on online, and a lot of people are using the data verbatim and optimising for the wrong things, I see it all the time and honestly those businesses should just go out of business eventually

But I think it depends on the intent of the site, if you're selling online, like an eCommerce site, still benefit massively from some kind of analytics, and that data can be the difference between staying in business and going out of business.

I don't see how analytics is any different from what we did in store watching what people took off the shelves, etc, when I did retail stuff.


Absolutely and you're punished for being prudent, like how does that make sense? Even if I were to say damn the savings account what are my options? Not taking the interest means I take a bigger knock on the inflation front

I'm just making the best of a bad selection of options. If it wasn't for Bitcoin I'd be completely doom pilled


Storytime! 🕰

So I had to sort out my #taxes for the year and I had an extra line item this time around. I normally keep a little bit of cash in a savings account just for rainy days, liquidity issues and as a buffer so I never have to dip into my Bitcoin

It collects a bit of interest which claims to offset the core CPI locally but clearly doesn't offset the growth in m2, so you're already robbing me, just a little slower than usual.

Normally the tax man didn't bother about it, but as the South African Rand devalues faster and faster the numbers get bigger despite the relative purchasing power not budging much. Now the figures are raised to a point where they want me to pay in 13% of those annual interest payments for the year in taxes too lol

Now I see why people don't save for a down payment for stuff and just take on these stupid high interest rate loans, you're punished either way

If I wasn't in #Bitcoin  man I would be so pissed, the normies are really getting shafted


We are indeed living in interesting times, watching this implosion sure is interesting now that we're at this point where the inflation boogyman remains on their back, the QE has to come eventually I just wonder how much more has to happen

https://image.nostr.build/3b3bab0b93ac20619e24db802756ecb0459d4e7b79eb1e8137295fa55455eebb.jpg


We can have a day where we don't talk about it, lol lets pick the topic of the day, anyone wanna riff on their favourite cheese? 🧀  LFG!!!


So we finally got revised numbers from the BLS and they managed to overcount by 818 000 jobs, #Bidenomics  figures finally trending closer towards the truth.

Latest #FOMC  looks like they're getting closer to rate cuts, I guess we'll have to wait for the elections, then it's rate cutes and QE, bring on the great printing of 2024/2025

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/us-jobs-revised-down-818000-election-year-shocker-second-worst-revision-us-history


Lol okay there you have a point yes also their ads are usually more expensive and have less traffic so you also saved by the fact that google just offers a better deal to a wider auidence


You can still bid for those keywords on DuckDuckGo too, they use Bing ads as the backend for its keyword ad placement


Warning! ⚠ Scammers are bidding for Google Ads on #Coinbase keywords  and phishing users sending them to a fake support service and then emptying out peoples accounts

Stop leaving your funds on exchanges, if you're not going to take self custody you might as well get the spot #ETF to save you from yourself, you were never ready for #Bitcoin

Fountain 1.1 with #nostr is now live on iOS and Android!

Why Nostr?

We regularly hear from both listeners and podcasters that the social features in Fountain are a great way to discover content that's worth listening to.

When you support a podcast, or comment on an episode, your message is surfaced to your followers in the Fountain home feed and anyone that sees these can add the content to their library.

But this came with a few problems. When you first start using Fountain you wouldn't have any followers so your posts wouldn't get seen. If you wanted to share something you were listening to, you had to choose between leaving a comment on Fountain, or sharing on another social platform.

Today we are excited to announce a massive update to Fountain that solves these problems with Nostr:

- You can bring your existing profile and followers to Fountain
- Your boosts and comments will be surfaced in other Nostr clients
- Posts shared from other Nostr clients relating to audio will appear in your feed
- Conversation and interactions now flow freely across multiple apps

Read more about the new Fountain nostr features here: https://blog.fountain.fm/p/1-1

Her: What do you mean you have no cash?

Me: Mt Gox is redistributing 140 000 Bitcoin to creditors right now, anything under $60 000 is crazy cheap this is a generational buying opportunity, we might never see it go this low again

Her:

Lol are you fatty phobic?


If they do pull the trigger, I'm ready to get hurt again to catch that falling knife, all discounts are temporary


I'm here to time down only, I need the cheap sats, my salary is bagging me so few these days it's kinda depressing I have round number goals I set for myself lol and I'm feeling the pressure


Over the last 2 months Mt Gox's wallet has been releasing coins onto the market, and they've released 106 000 BTC so far, and have 34 164 left in the chamber!

58k gang bros will have to enjoy it while it lasts, soon they'll hit 0 and it's up only from here...

Unless the US or UK starts dumping their positions after this!

https://m.primal.net/KGeJ.png


It's a tough one, being early can be the same as being wrong and many times people who make it either just fell into a topic or trend that gave them the platform or they're astro-turffed in by a company backing their show.

It's amazing how lucrative the market is for consume product, don't ask questions and just get excited for new rehashed product.

People are trying to fill a void in themselves with all the wrong things


stay mindful, stay demure!


Wild that the Call Her Daddy #Podcast can do a 2100 BTC sized deal for distribution rights to a catalogue of completely vapid conversations about t-bagging, gold digging and eating ass

Delusions love company, when I was younger I would try to fight against it, now I know I'm not going down with the ship, i'm much calmer about letting them cook themselves, I'm just here to farm sats


LOL! Don't give them any ideas, before too long you'll see OF girls licking ASICS on live


I wouldn't doubt that this was a own goal decided by committee, I see it happen in my corporate job all the time


Governments seize physical assets all the time, and sell them back to the market, unless its like contraband, I guess ASICS are digital heroine makers lol


Their default setting, I am totally willing to save them from themselves, you find illegal mining ops, give me a call i'll happily come pick up those ASICS, no need to waste a bull dozers time


If you're going to crush it you might as well let me buy up the whole lot for $1, i'll even pay for shipping


As if there's a shortage of waste going to those dumps, and people are risking their health sifting through e-waste for small payouts, my dad works in recycling so I know the deal


yeah I mean you're not gobbling up energy from the grid under the radar without knowing you're on borrowed time, so you either bribing officials or hoping you make enough Bitcoin to cover the loss when they shut your ass down.


LOL I would totally take them up on the offer to "get rid of these devices" for them for free! No charge, just leave it to me


how very demure, mindful


But what about all that e-waste? that's just bad for the environment and not a very green thing to do


Take hash rate off line, hopefully my bitaxe comes in clutch in their absense.

Wonder if they managed to seize the operations bitcoin too, and sent it to a burn address lol make bitcoin more scarce


Lol what happened to strategic bitcoin reserves, I thought that was the new hot topic, surly they know just plugging them in will net them sats


Lol No shortage of own goals in Bitcoin that's for sure


Lol its like they are allergic to profit


Malaysia 🇲🇾 have found their second round of crushing 1000 #ASIC miners as they continue to stamp out illegal mining operations. Apparently, power theft for bitcoin mining has cost the country $776 million since 2018

Surely there's a bid for these devices, why not sell it to legitimate miners locally or internationally?

#Bitcoin is a risk-off asset for:

✅ People with low time preference
✅ People that understand money
✅ People suffering from inflation
✅ People living under oppressive regimes


Lol aren't you unburdened by what has been?

Norway 🇳🇴 and Switzerland's 🇨🇭 central banks are almost getting there, instead of getting hard money, they're getting exposure through the proxy that is #MSTR.

I just tested it out, way to bridge the gap what an awesome feature, will make content discovery so much better 😉


As long as they can make an example of someone


I loved the line

"your hurdle rate is 50% whether you know it or not"

In a world where individuals and companies are desperate to outpace inflation and the majority fail at it, it's even more obvious.

If you're generating cash flow you have two options, seek out ways to increase your cash flow or plough that excess capital into #Bitcoin and wait for an attractive opportunity

https://fountain.fm/episode/umQi54SnHHFbGROEUkBU


They're really doing everything to scar people away from privacy tools and keep them in the KYC system!

Lol i'll need more context, how...?


The UAE 🇦🇪 has declared that it's legal to request your salary in #Bitcoin,  so companies could be encouraged to keep some on the books to settle employee salaries, but it also adds a new #KYC method of your sats and do you really want your entire salary advertised on the blockchain?

Looking forward to all the treats, make me break my diet


There are unhinged nutters in ever niche and platform, no excuse, just gotta distance and purge your content consumption if they can't act right

Lol depends on which country you're going to jail in, if its South Africa, no hell no, no no no, no Bitcoin is worth what will happen to me, sorry but no!


Lol we can only do so much, people need to take personal responsibility too.

We all ignore the early warnings and bump our heads, its those who realise the pain is a signal and then are open to learning that can react first


Indeed, I think opting out is so underrated, it's so sad to me is people sitting in cash thinking they're playing it safe, doing nothing has a cost to it too. Like when i speak to people about Bitcoin, they so fixated on the possiblity of losing money not seeing that what they're currently doing is losing purchasing power

But hey to each their own


I never watched their show but I saw the clip on their ep where they were laughing about dumping their solana and I thought that was all i needed to know

Having spent a good few years failing at it, i 100% agree, lol you ask me to go out and provide value with a skill I had to spend years crafting and then when i get the money, you ask me to go out and earn it a second time with a skill I don't have or have any interest in like investing.


Lol it's above my line!

Keyword, effort! proof of work!


Lol bend the knee serf!


I think either they are happy with the status quo and have no motivation to figure it out, or they're so black pilled they want everything to burn as the only method of reset and Bitcoin offering an alternative would go against the everything burns ending they've put so much time into


Exception yes, but it is a growing minority, being scammed is almost a right of passage with the internet. I do think that because money and finance is taboo people are left to their own devices and the longer you go without being rugged, the bigger the payout when they do rug you

I trust the banks with my salary because no one will pay me in cash or Bitcoin, but that's temporary, I don't expose myself to more than I could lose. I don't trust financial institutions I invested with before I knew anything and have already zero'd those contributions to pensions in my mind


LOL! I throw it on the ground, I'm an adult!!


Lol fiat is the ultimate participation trophy

Lol hurting snowflake feelings is violence


When I saw that membership line I was like nah lady you had it coming, if you have a husband which I doubt, but if you do, just let him handle the finances!


Indeed, I have been that fool before, and I paid my dues, hopefully for the last time


Lol first of all how did you get my phone number, i didn't sign up for this, and why would I need to invest in assets that outperform the market, but underperform Bitcoin I can hold myself, GFY!!


Ouch! That is bleak, at least his not sitting on his arse about it, and trying to do something, I landed on one of those lists too, and these UK/Dubai numbers would phone me all the time with high pressure sales tactics and I was just not having it, thankfully I wasn't a victim, but there's a scam for everyone, never think you're too smart to fall for one,  complacency is the killer

I got rugged using a crappy exchange and in shitcoins and had to learn the hard way too


Honestly, without government support, robbing from those that can produce, I think very few make it to 55, people have taken on consumption patterns they can't sustain with debt they can't service in a lifetime without massive inflation and they don't realise the dangerous game they playing


Lol and she couldn't just use an ETF with a regulated broker if you want to play paper Bitcoin games


Amazes me how people will get into #Bitcoin  and do zero research and then wonder why they ended up 25k deep in a #scam.

100% and STFU about your stash helps too, way too many people are advertising themselves as targets these days


Damn that got dark quick, pretty sure theres more to the story for sure, how would they know these people were walking around loaded like that with Bitcoin? Clearly ratted themselves out in some way or other


No idea why you would travel with so much corn on you!

Hope it passes for you soon :)


OEF! Another failure in opsec costs a hodler 5.75 BTC, the higher the fiat price goes, the more of a target you become, so act accordingly and put as many measures into place as possible

All search engines are pay to place in a way if its not direct with ads, it's paying for SEO to get certain things ranking and ofcourse the algo can be tweaked for certain searches.

These companies want people to think its just some black box working on merit/value of content but it's all about who pays the most for the best real estate


Lol when wages are flat to going nowhere and cost of living continues to increase in fiat terms, adding to your Bitcoin position is a major W.

Putin has legalised #Bitcoin mining in Russia 🇷🇺 , so you'll have to set up a Russian entity and register with some list for the right to #mine while Individuals who do not exceed a set energy consumption can mine without #KYC 📋📋

I'm no fan of the idea of using the Bitcoin blockchain for anything else other than settling Bitcoin transactions, but there's always someone who is going to feel differently, want the chain to do more and will die on that hill

https://thebitcoinmanual.com/articles/spaces-protocol/


I checked tethers website and I see no taproot asset issuance, so you're telling me they're issuing a token, based on a token issued on ETH, what could go wrong? Lol

At least let Tether handle that themselves

How I feel #nostr growth will be once we hit the heights of the #Bitcoin bull run smashing past 100k and going even further beyond

https://m.primal.net/JsGl.png


Lol people want you to explain in a TikTok or not at all


Lol I never emotionally recovered from that twist


Hell yeah nostr only!!!!


Yeah, plenty of ways to have a USD like experience on Bitcoin if you can't stomach vol but I'm with you there, I think the sooner you get on a sat standard the better, and anytime you spend in USDT you're just bleeding value but that's the individuals choice

The only + I could give this is possible easier on-ramps and liquidity for P2P trading, because the fiat side of P2P is always a pain in the arse, high fees and slow

Atleast it's interoperable so theres that, if someone wants to zap me a LN-USDT I have no use for that, so it should convert to sats for me, I don't want that drama and possible OFAC BS


Looks like Speed Wallet are one of the first to add Taproot Assets support and kick off the #altcoins on Lightning pitch with USDT-LN, looks like they're focused on merchants by the pitch and I guess they appeal to those looking to switch to a cheaper version of #USDT like those using chains like TRON and ETH

Personally I have no need for this, but it might appeal to the non-bitcoin side of nostr who would prefer zaps in stables or something

Thoughts?

LOL your most based note yet, I love it, yeah so theres 700 000 BTC in an ETF, doesn't mean the protocol is affected at all, been working the same before and after the ETF


That's what I am banking on the market for privacy especially with Bitcoin isn't going to go away because of the protocols design, you don't want people seeing all your UTXOs you own everytime you spend or move funds, that's putting yourself at risk

The market for people who just want to transact without being tagged by opportunists online to wrench attack them will always be bigger than the market for money laundering

Money and people flow where they are treated best


What are you looking to do?


Yes for sure, once you've passed your capital over to the "tainted" side you can't effectively go back to commerce with the regulated side in some countries but that's the individuals decision.

Ultimately we're relying on competition between nations where one sees the value attracting capital by supporting privacy


They're going to keep shutting these down until privacy isn't down to a single coordinator, hopefully payjoins and coinjoins with nostr can help with that and things like this push the development forward


Any links on where I can read up about it?

Totally get you, but it's still better than the counter party risk normies are facing with custodians, HWW aren't perfect but it gives the average person a UI they can wrap their heads around


Secure elements and hardware wallets

Why are secure elements used in Hardware Wallets?

Plain and simple for UX.

If your encryption depends on a numerical PIN of a few digits you are screwed.

The secure element adds a layer of encryption so that in case you can extract the seed from the chip you can not attack it by brute force.

If you use a sufficiently strong passphrase or if hardware wallets allow you to enter a password for encryption, there would be no need for secure elements, it's all about UX.

On the other hand, in cryptography you should never trust. Secure elements are a black box, and by contract you can't even publish their vulnerabilities. What's the point of using encryption if you're trusting a third party? that's useless.

It is true that there are solutions like coldcard where two secure elements are used so you don't have to trust them, but I still think it's stupid, I don't care about the UX, I want my bitcoins to be safe.

When you understand this, you realize how stupid the hardware wallet industry is.

New creature on Jekyll island just dropped


Lol Messi wins the election again


First up, I want to recognize that this is an uncomfortable topic!  Bitcoin is inevitably changing towards user-pays, and that's not all positive.  But facts we don't like are still facts: can't engineer a solution if we can't think about the problems.

There are three kinds of bitcoiners.
A. Those who can afford any fee.
B. Those who can afford a UTXO, but not often.
C. Those who can't afford a UTXO.

Nobody worries about the A group (and in the early days, that was everyone).  Obviously Lightning (my area!) caters to the B group, and we want it to be as large as possible.  To do this we can (1) make lightning as resiliant as we can so onchain spends are rare, (2) make bitcoin as efficient as possible so we can cram as much as we can into what we have.

(1) Making lightning more resilient and reliable is engineering.  Lots of people working on this, even before we get soft-forks which could help further.

(2) More efficiency has two benefits: obviously if your own onchain spends are 20% smaller, that's 20% cheaper.  But if *everyone's* onchain spends are 20% smaller, that means fees are lower *for everyone* too (and it's non-linear).  So we really care about all Bitcoin usage!  Some things are obvious wins: Taproot so you can avoid even putting the script onchain in many cases, FROST so you can cram your 2 of 3 or other scheme into a single key and signature.  We know we want to get more aggressive with sharing one signature across multiple inputs (Cross Input Signature Aggregation), but that needs a lot more research, and a soft-fork.

But even with all these, the math is clear: some people, even if you somehow gave them their wealth in a UTXO, it couldn't afford its own fees to spend.  The C group is real.  Spoiler alert: we don't have an answer for this!  But let's look at some approaches people have tried.

Firstly, there are attempts to move these people into the B group: give them long enough that maybe fees will reach a point they can afford.  This seems unlikely to me:
1. As fees increase everyone will start doing the work to take advantage of low fee times, and that itself means that low-fee times won't be so low.
2. These schemes tend to increase onchain footprints, so they need fees to drop a lot to overcome that (typical is 2x the transaction size, so you need fees to halve to gain anything).
3. If you really can't afford the fee, you probably also can't afford to wait.
4. You still haven't actually dealt with those who really, really can't afford the fees.  Ever.

Another suggestion is that someone (e.g. a lightning service provider) will lock up funds which would cover fees, in case something goes wrong.  This doesn't work economically, because nobody is paying $100 for a $5 user (not at scale), but it doesn't even work mathematically: the reason some people will have small UTXOs is because there are not enough sats for 10 billion people with any realistic distribution.

There are two basic approaches left:
1. Group people, so they fall into the B category (i.e. onchain tx is possible, but expensive).
2. Trust someone, but rely on incentives.

1. Grouping people is possible, but they need to work together if somenthing goes wrong.  So grouping inside a community is probably better than grouping with randos.

For example, there are various tree-of-transaction schemes where you go onchain only if the coordinator fails/goes rogue, and how much it costs you depends on whether anyone near you in the tree pays to get themselves out.  These are basically free if nothing goes wrong (one UTXO required for thousands of users!).  But this is subject to ghettoization, where the coordinator makes sure all the C people are grouped together, knowing none of them can afford the transactions they need to get their funds back.  It's particularly bad because the coordinator can insert its own fake "whales" to make it look like it's not ghettoized.

You can play with incentives here, too: more research needed.  The details matter!

2. Relying on incentives.

As a simple example, lightning-connected e-cash mints.  They can't rug individuals very easily, they have to rug everyone together (or go fractional and rug the last ones to exit).   Maybe with enough anonymity and reputation, these would be Good Enough.

More ambitious would be a single UTXO held for multiple people by a coordinator.   Can we make it so that if a coordinator is dishonest, you can force them to burn your funds?  Maybe burn more than your funds (ie. a bond)?  Won't get your money, but it aligns incentives so they're not motivated to rug you.  The details here really matter!

There's a cute scheme which has been proposed where the coordinator pays a temporary bond, and asserts that they actually have everyone's signature to transfer the funds.  If nobody challenges within a week, they get the bond back and the funds move.  If someone challenges, all the signatures are put onchain, and if they're not all valid, the bond gets half-burned and half-given to the (successful) challenger.  This is hard to make work, though.  Someone needs to get the money to challenge (hard if you don't have the money in the first place, plus it's hard to prove to someone you *didn't* sign something!), and then make sure nobody gets the challenge bond before them (in particular, a dishonest coordinator, seeing the game is up, completes the successful challenge *themselves* and gets half their bond back), and make sure someone can't grief and delay the settlement indefinitely or bankrupt the coordinator.

More research needed, here, too.

Summary

A longer post than I had expected to write.  And it's buried in the middle of a thread nobody will read.  (I do this sometimes.  I suck at marketing I guess!)

Sub-fee bitcoin amounts will have tradeoffs, involving trusting someone who has more money than you (at least, in someone's competence, even if their *financial* incentives can be made to match yours).  This is difficult to build well, and not a very exciting thing to build today, so it hasn't really happened (custodial things are much, much easier!).

This is also a key reason I believe we need to make Bitcoin more expressive: if we can do *more* with our own UTXOs, we can build better solutions.  And by "we" I mean "someone smarter than me" of course!

Feedback welcome!

Lol the bitcoin therapist, needs therapy who would have thunk?


Lol if they can suppress the price for a few weeks/months I'm all for it, my 3rd world salary ain't carving off much sats these days


Why stop the #UK government from making a mistake of a generation, they can follow the #German government off the cliff, let them dump that 61 000 Bitcoin, I am so here for it and ready to pick up the discount

https://protos.com/bitcoin-lobbying-group-warns-uk-not-to-sell-its-61000-bitcoins/


I've used it in South Africa, but we have to purchase a local providers voucher and then use that code on Atzeco or via Machankura to get the sats,some providers have had support cut so it's not always a given that the code will work

I have been caught buying a voucher I couldn't use and the current vouchers available here you can only buy $10 without KYC'ing with the local provider so to me this is a waste of time, buying a %15+ premium for KYC bitcoin is dumb, might as well buy it on an exchange then

I've had a much better time buying P2P even with the crappy order book, i'm okay with being patient for non-kyc and a lower premium


I am signing an executive order selling this mirror and I will be turning the proceeds into Bitcoin

Them: Oh really, so what do you guys get up to on nostr apps?

What we get up to here:

https://m.primal.net/Jddl.mp4


I call it strutting the web, because I love to strut


I had to pay a friend today, and opened up my banking app, apparently 2 days prior they pushed live an update and it cooked my app

I deleted the banking app and when I tried to login, they wouldn't accept my current card, because the banking profile was setup with a card I had 12 years ago

So they managed to "restore" my profile using my new card as the primary identifier, but this is a credit card, and now they can't link my chequing or savings account and I have to go into a branch tomorrow

I can't make any online payments, I can't do shit lol

I have no idea how people can defend this system as the best we've got, if the person i had to pay wasn't a fat fiat moron I could have paid him sats and moved on with my life


Can't say till we get a look under the hood, I assume its a hot wallet and you're email is tied to an x-pub or something, will poke around once they let me in


Proton mail launching a Bitcoin wallet was not on my Bingo card for 2024, someone should hit them up about nostr too, they look like a company keen to give the people something they want to us, not have to use!

I would yes, and once prices adjust upward for this new currency supply we just go back to the UBI amount not covering your living standards


If you're finding it hard to deal with the cost of living and the growing need for capital by the state, all you need to do is work more!

The lord only rested on the 7th day, and so will you!

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/7/12/why-is-greece-introducing-a-six-day-working-week


If they can pay for it and those that are paying are willing to accept that cost even if its a net negative, everyone participating was willingly went along with it so I don't see the issue there

But that's not likley how it would work, it would be inflation and taxes that fund it and many would disagree. Even if you are saving in Bitcoin, you're still going to part of it in one way or another, unless you leave that country


I don't see that happening really, it's also about the impact, you're obviously taking from one to give to the other, what would that other person have done with that extra purchasing power they worked for?

Why should they be the scapegoat?

I think that creativity is bred through problem-sloving, not through handouts, how many people who chose welfare programs are really using it to go out and be productive? Is those that leave the program enough to compensate for those who just milk it?

While I always believe humans can come up with solutions, I don't see how UBI solves anything apart from buying votes


And you're taking to get what in return? If governments want to UBI, I can't stop them, but as long as I can opt-out thats cool with me. Everyone who believes in it can support it and see how far they get


Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome, you can already see it with the welfare schemes we have going now, so why would UBI suddenly make such a big difference to the psyche of the people?

You need to work hard and pay your taxes so that we can build the roads and give 27 year old artists a UBI of £1,200 a month. The cost of welfare will continue to rise as more people can't work their way out of poverty

That sucks, I have been rugged by exchanges in the past, so I am all for self custody, I used strike because it was easy to onboard small amounts to LN, but they removed bank deposit now, so I can't use it even if I wanted to


If someone takes an entire block and stuffs it with a song or music video, I swear I'm ready to break their fat fingers

https://thebitcoinmanual.com/articles/full-block-ordinals/


Top lad, I appreciate you taking this shit seriously


Definately rookie numbers, I want to see nodes and nostr relays pamp


You're really selling me on it, will need to get a USP for my node because of all the power cuts, so far only Strike is supporting LN in South Africa, and machankura are using LN right now but lets see if i can drum up some traffic


It's currently my only plan, I can't be bothered to use other networks, they'll cook my profile one way or another


Lol who is "we", Bitcoiners have been planning for this for years


Looks like I'm one of less than 30 people running a #Bitcoin  node in South Africa, I know many are running #tor  so there could be more, but I doubt it's that many.

How are we supposed to build a global decentralised network when so few people are willing to commit a few resources to ensuring a trillion dollar+ network keeps  growing and avoids centralising pressures

Yes please, I was getting used to stacking under 60k


Lol bro needs to discover himself first


This looks like such a dope cover for a banger rap album


After 20+ days the #German government has finished their round of dumping and their wallet is now empty and just like that price shoots back up over 60k

#HFSP

Thanks I'm going to give it a test


This gives me major rocky vibes


Hopefully it also drives a stronger P2P market too, if from that bracket they want to take 1% for under 10k why should I pay that even?


Bitcoiners, I don't see too much issue here, if you need to just spend your Bitcoin or sell small amounts P2P to do what you need to, the ones who will be funding things like this is the shitcoiners who have to sell because they're in it for the trade


LOL me:

Lol never interrupt the government when they make a mistake

NFP program plans to abolish the 30% Flat Tax on capital gains in #France  in favour of a 14 bracket progressive tax which will include #Bitcoin  and shitcoins.

You can restore your account with a key so you not tying it to an email, but I guess if they store the accounts it could be matched to say apple or google Ids i'm not sure

I signed up for Wise a few years ago, and I had some issues with the KYC and never bothered logging back in lol, if fiat rails give me a problem i quickly give up, but Bitcoin I am happy to go and sit for hours debugging an issue


Looks like a private coordinator service for #Wasabi  wallet has been trying to rug participants, be careful out there

Moxie gtting kisses and I can't even get a text back, where did I go wrong?

Whenever I hear think of safe and effective I  think of that one dude shilling a burger and fries lol if you got jabbed


I am also factoring in the paypal fees when having to do P2P,

My P2P experience I find it depends on the liquidity in your currency pair.

- If I purchase in South African rands for example the P2P market premiums are crazy (7-50%) based on the size but the fiat rails will be cheap sometimes even free to transfer but because so few traders are doing it so they're no they can charge what they like, the standard premium between lets say a coinbase and a local exchange is already 4% so they likley factoring in that when arbing
- If I want lower premiums I need to get stablecoins, or deal with paypal, skrill, wise

P2P isn't just about the premium on the spot buy I factor in the entire process of getting into BTC


Here's my key investment philosophy
The price of BTC will reach infinity

Relax, Take your time

And take your time
To stack in BTC
And you will find, Infinity, infinity

And take your time
To learn about BTC
And you will find, Infinity, infinity

The time goes by
and your stack grows naturally
While you'll receive, Infinity

Here's my key investment philosophy
The price of BTC will reach infinity

Relax
Stack on your own time
And take your time
No need to trust in me
And you will find
Infinity, infinity,
Infinity, infinity,
Infinity, infinity
Infinity

And take your time
To hodl BTC
And you will find

The time goes by
So naturally
While you'll receive

Ah i didn't know that, when I couldn't trade, I didn't bother to check the other settings and just deleted the app.

10% isn't all that bad, i've seen and bought at way bigger spreads on Paxful and nOones in the past. Robosats has great premiums, just the order book isn't that great too few users willing to go through the hoops I suppose


You can change the default to your own wallet, my issue with to nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3samnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwvd6hyun9de6zuenedyhsz9nhwden5te0v4jx2m3wdehhxarj9ekxzmny9uq3jamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwdhx7un59eek7cmfv9kz7qgmwaehxw309ahx7um5wghx7unpdenk2urfd3kzuer9wchsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0qyxhwumn8ghj7cnjvghxjme0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnnw3hkuetj9e3k7mf0qyfhwumn8ghj77n4wghxummnw3ezuumc9uqzpfr52aezuy968gn3l0nsgqje50zd5t848073uxvp8qs56g6svn7z75xmwz   is they didn't allow me to use PayPal because apparently theres a lot of charge backs, but F&F paypal payments cannot be charge backed

And they first want me improve my score ranking first, but I have no other paymet methods other than going to go get L-USDT which means I first need to go buy USDT from somewhere else and then swap into L-USDT, pain the arse so I gave up and just bought via #robosats


Au revoir, Shoshana!

LOL He is a backup dancer


But..but those are dirty tainted Bitcoin with a transaction history of piracy and illegal transactions....


While transaction fees aren't a problem right now, times of a high fee environment requires better use of resources. If you're trading #P2P grouphug can protect you against those massive fee bumps, as long as you are willing to be patient

Lol could have just said for the non-americans


AML/CFT laws make you less safe. Not more.

In 2022, 78% of European banks experienced a data breach. Yet AML/CFT laws continue to attempt to mandate increasing amounts of data collection, from IP Addresses to social media activities. This data is routinely targeted, exploited, and sold on dark markets.

In honor of gigabrain takes like "We NeEd SuRrVeiLlAnCe To FiGhT CrImE", this Rage Weekly I compiled a list of 40+ recent data breaches involving the leak of personal data – just in case anyone tries to tell you that increased surveillance leads to an increase in security.

Full list 👉 https://www.therage.co/rage-weekly-data-breach-special/


I really hope they are selling and keep the price down as long as possible


That's some Max pain feels right there


Lol for real, maybe I am already fully priced out, I don't know but I'm still going to show up and keep stacking

More than 50% of Gen X are stating that they wish they saved more for retirement, so you can be damn sure that millenials and Gen Z the percentages are going to be way higher.

Yet people are still going to double down on stocks, real estate and bonds that haven't protected their wealth this far! Is it ignorance, ego, sunk cost, keeping them in the doom loop?

Learning the humility to stack sats and stay the course is a tough lesson.

German MP Joana Cotar, who holds Bitcoin is moaning that the #German  government is in the process of executing the greatest own goal in their modern history

Any #maxi  could have told you that, but their loss is our gain

The dumping looks to continue with the confirmation that Mt. Gox’s wallet transferred 1,545 #BTC to Bitbank’s hot wallet, according to data from Arkham.
The sent to a #Bitbank may have been a test run ahead of a larger payout.
Arkham’s data also revealed a transfer of 47,229 BTC from Mt. Gox’s wallet to a new destination yesterday night.

Bitcoin has reached a 22% discount over the last month, according to reports the #German government is in the process of selling 40 000 Bitcoin they seized from Movies2k

According to #Arkham Analytics, the government has moved 3000 BTC to various exchanges, and they're either nailing the order books or traders are front-running their dumping
