Amazing! I’m listening right now and so far the songs are great. I’m so sick of Spotify playing the same songs.
Everyone, turn on streaming to support the community 🙂
It seems odd that Coinbase can launch a wrapped #btc product and delist their competitor. Nobody is losing their coins but it shows how quickly things can change if you aren’t holding your keys.
Use this as a lesson to stay away from paper bitcoin.

Just heard the news that Gensler could step down and RHR talking about how he hasn’t been bad for Bitcoin. To me, he seemed to be bad for Bitcoin.
He went from stonewalling Bitcoin to controlling it through regulation. Remember how long it took to approve the ETF? Then the Ethereum ETF was quickly approved. No enforcement action on Tether…most likely because they buy a ton of treasuries. But we will get enforcement on mixers.
This guy seems to view #Bitcoin as a threat and has double standards.
It is death to censorship as long as there isn’t enough leverage to enforce it. There is no getting around the limitation of a centralized solution, which can be attacked. The decentralized nature of #nostr makes it very difficult to censor.
I’m glad that X is censoring less, but it is a losing battle to the freedom of speech offered by #nostr.
A good throwback. It is very interesting to hear the excitement about technology that has been adopted in Fountain.

I just read information on the Retail Payment Activities Act. I’m frustrated by the direction Canada is taking. This is another layer of oversight on a financial system that has become outdated and inadequate.
The big issue I see is the failure to understand how fast things are progressing in #bitcoin. They are going to be trying to onboard thousands of payment providers while #bitcoin will continue to innovate without the need of such an act.
Who do you think is going to provide better value in a few years?
I could only listen to half of this. This guest is so one sided and over the top that it is hard to take him seriously. Hard pass!

Interesting chart. I don’t see a major event causing a sudden massive ETF sell by investors. As an ETF holder for a few years now, I’m more concerned with some sort of rug pull 😬
The cost of real estate is based on supply and demand and the fact that it is a hard asset. The increase in price is a symptom.
I don’t want to offend you, but your thinking is misguided. If we want to make real estate affordable, we need to save in hard assets and look for ways to change real estate market. Don’t purchase the expensive home. Instead, purchase a smaller home or look into alternative ways to get into the real estate market.
The point I’m trying to make is that individuals need to plan their finances to be able to purchase a home and may have to make compromises or get creative. The price of a home will fluctuate whether new or existing based on a number of factors. Most likely, they will continue to go up.
My advice for everyone is to try to get their net worth in the positive as soon as possible then look for ways to benefit from inflation. Take advantage of the system not be taken advantage of!
Lugano, Switzerland. I think there is a conference there and they must have unveiled it as part of the conference. One of the most interesting statues I’ve ever seen.
Kudos to all those making #nostr, #bitcoin and #opensource better!
I find myself using #damus as part of my morning routine. The content is positive, there isn’t anything being sold to me and it feels good knowing that it is freedom tech.
I’ve been a long time advocate for open source software who, a few years ago, realized the need for #bitcoin and now is seeing the need for a protocol that allows for freedom of speech.
Really looking forward to how open decentralized banking and communication systems can help the world.
Politicians can be so difficult to listen to. She makes sure not to give direct praise to Trump and doesn’t make a direct stance on the wall. If memory serves me correctly, they fought building the wall then took office for 4 years and didn’t do much. Now, 8 years later, this is a topic.
37% is a forecast for the year 2028.
This video can only be viewed as propaganda. Nobody is going to use a payment card as they demonstrate. If it ever got to the stage of being a payment card, there would be some sort of KYC and linkage to the local currency. That means a slower process to get your money into the system, all participating governments would be able to access your transactions and you could be cut off from the system. Certainly not decentralized.
This system has legs as a settlement layer for businesses or governments instead of swift/USD, but not for consumers. #bitcoin would be the better approach. However, governments want control so they won’t switch unless they are forced to. Time will tell…

Is Damus coming to Android? I saw a few videos from Will that looks like it is running on an Android tablet, but I don’t see anything in the Play Store or on the website

Trying to sell some extra tickets bought on Ticketmaster for a US concert when I live in Canada. All I have to do is setup a US account with my CA bank, setup a Wise account, fund the Wise account, sell my tickets, transfer my funds to my US account within my CA bank, transfer my US funds to my CA account within my bank, close my Wise account then close my US account within my bank.
RIDICULOUS!!!!!
#bitcoin fixes this nonsense
I stumbled upon this via a recommendation in a nostr post. The nostr episodes are spot on and I’m looking forward to listening to others.

This is a lesson for everyone to hold hard assets and use debt as a tool. This will allow you to prosper. I feel sorry for the people who don’t or can’t do this. They are the ones who will get wrecked.
Anyone who wants to learn how to prosper, listen to the Personal Finance Podcast or check him out. The Stairway to Wealth system is the perfect starting point. This info is all free.
This isn’t a plug, just trying to promote financial freedom so people don’t get stuck in the rat race.
Running #linux apps on #android could be a reality. I’ve been doing this for years on #chromeos and it works great.
I’d love to see a reasonably priced #ubuntu based laptop that is similar to a Chromebook. Until this happens, running my favourite Linux apps on other operating systems will have to do.

I don’t understand the fascination with shitconing. The FTX token is up over the 100% in the last year, but it is a dead token previously used by a bankrupt company. No use and highly unlikely to be used if the FTX company was ever reborn. People, the token didn’t work before so why think it will work in the future.
Get to #bitcoin before you get wrecked! https://image.nostr.build/3353c8e1dbb49bca233a6dd2472d84f28b8b3b53128a5315047ca861c0780866.jpg

I watched the highlights of the Blues first game and looked over the opening night roster. Looks like it could be another long year. 😔

Yesterday, I did my first boost on Fountain and saw it in my feed in Damus. Seeing it in action was just amazing. Looking forward to all the integrations that will come from #nostrapps. Congrats to everyone making this a reality
In countries with massive inflation, I’d think that citizens could use #btc for savings and use stable currencies for day to day expenses. #btc should hold its value in the medium term.
I’m looking for some help on the best Bitcoin wallet to use for small amounts of money that I can use to spend. Right now, I only think I need to Zap on Damus or use on Fountain. Any suggestions?
