ok. its official. normies are asking me about bitcoin again.


commbank/coinspot took over 24 hours to process my deposit and I am buyn 8% higher. lol


cheguei no brasil faz uma semana. dirigir aqui eh uma merda. cheio de arrombado grudado na traseira do carro e motoqueiro sem medo da morte tirando fino.


Eu gosto muito de usar Bisq para comprar bitcoin. Voce compra diretamente de uma pessoa, ou seja, nao compra de uma empresa que precisa pegar todos os teus documentos e passar para a receita federal. o unico porem eh que voce ja precisa ter em geral 15% do que quer comprar em btc para colocar de colateral. Para essa primeira compra eu recomendo Peach. La o agio eh maior mas nao precisa depositar btc de colateral. importante entender que comprando sem kyc tu sempre vai pagar mais caro do que comprando de uma corretora com kyc. O premio eh um trade off justo. Vi que tu ja teve uma resposta com outras ferramentas que nao conheço e podem ser melhores pra quem mora no Brasil. o fato eh que existem varias opçoes e cada uma tem os seus trade-offs. Bitcoin diferentemente de um sistema centralizado eh um pouco mais complicado e exige proof of work. mas eh o custo de ser soberano.


I have just landed back home in Brazil after more than 3 years. I opened my cellphone to see bitcoin pumping to all time highs in the local shitcoin fiat. None of my normie friends own any btc. I admittedly stopped trying to orange pill them since I moved to Australia over 5 years ago. But crazy to see they haven't done the work themselves.


Primal is crashing non stop.


literally going overseas in 2 days and will check these out


Just had an exciting moment that my normie friends will never appreciate.

I bought a couple beers.

...But it was more than that. I bought a couple beers with Bitcoin.

...But it was more than that. I bought a couple beers in Lugano Switzerland with lightning, through Zeus wallet with my own lightning channel, connected to Alby Hub, running on my Start9 node, on my shelf in my office back home in Canada.

So yes, I just bought a couple beers. But it was fucking exciting.

Anyone got articles or podcasts to recommend for introducing ecash to normies?


I am looking for articles or podcasts to introduce the ecash idea to normie friends. Any advice?


eu concordo contigo mas isso acontece constantemente comigo. o conceito dos termos que alguns amigos tem eh completamente distoricdo da realidade (pelo menos da forma como eu entendo). hoje em dia eu digo num grupo de amigos normies que eu sou a favor da libertinagem de expressao, uma vez que pra eles liberdade de expressao <> se expressar livremente.


the reason bitcoin is where it is,  is because people stay and build. humans thrive under good incentives schemes.


como em 90% das discussões a maior divergencis esta na definição de termos.


seed back up is a hard problem. i am never fully happy about it,  and I never really want to change it either. not that i am concerned about it, i just know it could be better.

The idea every person has to have to use non custodial lightning and run a lightning node is ludicrous.

How do one get an original Madex? How much? Just out of curiosity for now.


I have something similar although not as organised. But I have about 5 notebooks full of ideas. I don't write them down daily neither review with any consistency. Also my ideas are writen in longer form and with some drawings.
PS. Writing manually makes thing stick in my crazy brain.


I hope a pleb get one of the next few blocks.


Pra compras do dia a dia e economias circularea via lightning acho bem tranquilo. Compras relevantes como imovel é o que tu disse, precisa de reconhecimento do legacy. Ou vira legal tender ou criamos um sistema anarquico que pessoas possuam imoveis sem reconhecimento estatal (nao estaremos vivos pra ver isso se um dia vier a acontecer).

Will look into that

One amazing thing I learned about (out of many) at the ecash conference

A router for sharing internet

Someone from India, living in a place with a lot of internet access problems, built a set-up where people can buy internet without having any internet in the first place. 1 sat per minute

He built a captive portal that you log into and the page says — I take ecash from this one mint, get ecash from there and paste it into this text box — you paste it in, hit enter, and you’re online

You’ve made an offline payment and voila, you're now online

There are many exciting Bitcoin developments happening but it's becoming more clear that ecash is a wholly different, complementary technology that does different things, including many things that Bitcoin can't do no matter how many upgrades it gets

If you are able to ship constantly with things that compound together you hardly need to make an effort to be more impactfull than most co workers who work like crazy.


its not wrong...


What I've been doing lately is every time someone complain that cost o living is going up or that things are too expensive I disagree. I say that in fact everything is cheaper now. It take less time, less effort and we can make better stuff. I initially bring gold as an example and I say that whatever they are complaining about, when priced in gold is actually cheaper. When they ask me if I own gold I say "yeah, but not much. gold is shitty to own. I own bitcoin, I believe is way better ". It is interesting to see the reactions.


Are we seeing more economical activity on chain or what?


I hear your point. You must have a geography that allows for a good defense without a big army. Basically, only nations inislands and mountains can have small governments without being invaded.

One point on monopolies is, once there is a paradigm shift they are too big to move fast and will probably get behind. While things are the same the economics of scale will favour the larger players and create monopolies. When things change (technology, behaviour, values) the larger you are the harder to change and adapt.

The way nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 distributes the sats could be replicated. For every sats the parent loads into the wallet, the wallet devs get 1%/2%, the educator who made the material avalible get 3%/5% and the kid get the rest. As a parent you can choose what will you add sats rewards to, and anyone can create educational material. NOSTR web of trust with a raputation score plus the parebt proof of work of looking into the material before loading the awards, and even the parent ability to block specific contenr to their child culd create really nice incentives.


It could start with math problems, as the problems are correctly solved, the kid earn sats. You could have a duolingo stuff, helping them learn a new language. Chess games already have a play by play analysis,  they could be rewarded for good moves.

nostr:note12p3vq3keh0mszzwc4zjjhys22eknvpg08y2n4cg8amzvqm827e9q3kcjfl


I want a mix of wallet+udemy for kids. a wallet with many educational content the parent can load sats into any or all activities. As the children complete them they redeem the sats.
Any devs willing to take a project like this?

One must have a higher stack of bitcoin every month. If you do that for long enough you end up in a bitcoin standard.


Having a child was the positive trigger to start writing. My kids will have a lot writing on their growth and development, but also a personal diary of life and thoughts. I know I wish zi had that from my parents and grandparents.


In a long enough time frame all bitcoin is lost.


How the fuck asking permission to move your money, is even considered as an option to store your wealth? Are you kidding me?

September the 20th my state celebrate a war fought against the entire country, over hight beef-jerky taxes.


The optimistic view of the world I gained and the skills that I've learned because of bitcoin are far more valuable than the price appreciation.


WAR

As a totally convinced anarcho-capitalist I find it ridiculous to support either side in a war. War is created by governments, if you support one side, you are only supporting a government, supporting one of the parties and ignoring the crimes committed by the party you support.

War is the worst act of the human being, in wars brothers are killed between brothers, children and women are killed, and women are raped by both sides, in war nothing is respected.

It is before a war when you have to think with reason and not with the heart, if you are in a war territory flee you and your family, your mission is to protect them, never fight, never fight for a government, life is the most precious good we have.

Kill if you have to protect your family, but never kill in the name of the government, don't be a puppet, don't be part of their despicable plans.

#Bitcoin helps you to protect yourself also from wars, on the one hand, your government cannot create Bitcoins to finance itself and it is practically impossible for them to seize them, on the other hand if you live in a hot territory, consider having most of your wealth in Bitcoin to be able to flee without problems.

Whether you are Palestinian, whether you are Israeli, whether you are Ukrainian, Russian, or from any nation at war, do not fight for your government, your government does not give a shit about you, you are just gunpowder to fuel the fire, the children of your politicians do not go to war, your politicians do not go to war, while you die, while your children and women die, the politicians are so quiet in their air-conditioned office eating caviar and drinking champagne while fucking whores.

Bitcoin is so much better today than it was a month ago. Its crazy, how people just don't have a clue about it.


I want to do a unified user satisfaction survey on wallets running. Could be valuable for the open source industry getting constant user feedback on functionalities accros the industry. What people use and works well? What people want the most? What areas have the highest discrepancy on how much the user value a functionality but want the ux improved? Hear industry wide pain-points and wishes. And let the devs be devs with the extra data.


I am disappointed I couldn't zap.

Is a NOSTR hand-picked content vault archive similar to a relay concept?

Can I access curated content from selected peers and integrate it into my own archive? For example, if NVK has a hand-picked Bitcoin security content archive, can I access it?

Such archives offer high-quality, well-classified data that is distributed, accessible, and permanent. This allows users to tap into trusted sources for valuable information and seamlessly incorporate it into their own collections.

Great point and reference. In this specific case there is the bootstrapping challenge you don't see in physical jurisdictions. It is actually easier to get your business going in good jurisdictions.


Achar a mosca branca que aceita monero pra gastar no mercado negro = super relevante.
Proteger o patrimonio da sua familia = irrelevante.
Impedir o governo de imprimir poder economico diluindo a participaçao economica de individos = irrelevante.
"Monero é mais cypherpunk".


eu conheço monero desde sempre. mas como eu disse, ele nao resolve unidade de conta nem reserva de valor. ele faz sentido em alguns casos talvez, apesar de eu nunca ter encontrado um... bitcoin sem kyc utilizado na lightning me da toda a privacidade que eu preciso. monero nao resolve o governo capturando todo o poder economico da sociedade, o que pra mim eh o maior problema de todos. mas torço que a adoçao cresça a ponto de ele realmente ser atacado pra gente ver se tem alguma coisa util pra levar pro bitcoin eventualmente.


Monero por definiçao não pode ser unidade de medida ou reserva de valor. não briga pra ser dinheiro, apenas oeda de troca. por sinal torço que se torne maior e relevante. ate pra termos um teste robusto do nivel de privacidade.


Follow your drive and curiosity. Whatever the outcome, yoy won't regret it.


Good.


por favor...


Entendi teu ponto agora.  Teu foco eh "currency " e não "money".


Nao entendi teu ponto. nao tenho nada contra mercado branco ou negro.


Based on a recent interaction I think I am starting to get the minero vibe. Is a young rebel kind of vibe of people who don't really understand how fiat is fucking everything and everyone. The damage of economic dilution by governments is not their concern. They want to be into something "super private" and that only the few cool kids get it. To participate in something that's winning ans people they don't like take advantage is a hard no.


Pela tua resposta entendo que tu não ve nenhum problema em usar um dinheiro que é diluído constantemente. Começo a entender melhor a turma do Monero.


Nao. Minhas transações não podem ser censuradas.


nao ha necessidade da autorizaçao do governo pra fazer transaçoes de bitcoin. toda essa conversa só faz sentido pra quem quer vender por fiat, dai que existem complicações. pra mim, não importa. mru traficante recebe fiat fisico e era isso. monero só existe num micro nicho e ninguem se importa.

Hi mate, cor coldstorage do you reset the hardware wallet to remove the keys and keep just the back up?


me desculpa. mas market cap minisculo, volume minusculo, adoção minuscula. nao vejo problema nenhum mas eh obvio que nao vai atrair interesse de governos e grandes instituiçoes. eu nao consigo usar monero nem com meu dealer.

Its a good model. You can remove the filter for content discovery and add for regurar use. how would we deal with accounts we previously interacted but no longer have any interest in it?


there is no such thing as just a meme. memes are a powerful means of communication.


I was not aware of this option. Appreciate it.


man...I thinking here. My parents could not  conceive the idea of his son not going to the uni. I end up graduating in business and post graduating in corporate finance, M&A and Equity. they were both pretty decent and taught me good lessons. It was not the shit most of them became.  But even looking to the old decent one, I don't give a fuck if my kid goes or not the university. What I care is that he is curious and willing to learn.


What a time to be alive.


Your first point regarding the ETFs index trackers, means people are concentrating votes in easy capturable entities with unaligned interests with the companies they hold shares.

Regarding your second point on a relevant traditional equity investment future,  yes I believe this will be relevant again. But I am not sure this will happen in our lifetime.  We need to have a full financial reset, either with our hyper bitcoinization or with bitcoin failure and something else.

If bitcoin game theory and protocol doesn't brake (what I believe), at some point bitcoin price appreciation will be derived from real economic activity and innovation, and traditional equity investment will be back.


99.9% of legacy investors are merely speculators. They don't understand how to read balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements. They don't know the management. They don't know the management compensation and if they will get diluted. They have no control over the company whatsoever. Most people can't even do simple valuation based on historical metrics and simple assumptions.


My kids will be the right to think for themselves, do research and speak their minds. That's non-negotiable.


I am not sure if there is anything we can do in the next ~5 years or so. But we have the duty to either leave a better place for our kids or the get hell out. My kids will be the right to think for themselves, do research and speak their minds. That's non-negotiable.

A wallet is a key manufacturer. The seed phrase are the key dimensions. The key can open a huge amount of vaults and has a mapping for all of them. The key works anywhere. even without internet connection (psbt).

If you have never made pull request to a free open-source project you should make that your weeks challenge. Even something simple, like fixing some spelling in a readme doc. Don't be scared. There's a bunch of technical ways to make a pr, but the easiest is to edit a doc directly in github, it will make the pr for you. Just register on github, go to the page you want to edit and click the edit button 👍.
Even if your pr is rejected, you made a pr, well done, you are a modern human again, welcome to the revolution 🤝.

-Treat the arrest of the Telegram CEO as an emergency.

-Advocate for his freedom and for all freedom tech providers.

-Support and build things that function without a CEO, like some aspects of Nostr. When authoritarian Europe or the US arrests you, be able to say, “I literally can’t control it, it’s already out there, and we are legion.”

-Tell me and others, as capital providers, how to accelerate this.


O ciclo vicioso da democracia. Quanto mais pessoas estao em uma situaçao complicada, mais elas demandam e votam em candidatos com foco no curto prazo. Quanto mais decisões de curto prazo são tomadas pelo governo, mais o futuro é comprometido e mais pessoas estarão demandando ações de curto prazo. Os incentivos democraticos praticamente garantem o colapso das sociedades que aderem esse modelo.
Se partir de um cenario onde a população esta bem e vota de forma a preservar o futuro, basta uma crise. pode ser guerra, seca, inundaçao o que for que um percentual crescente da populaçao vai demandar o sacrificio do futuro pelo curto prazo. uma vez que a balança vira, nao tem volta.

Are private channels capable of routing or are they designed specifically for personal use. In the end that's where I'll land, but I am willing to do some routing for the experience.


Appreciate the word of caution.  I am still leaning into trying to route and get some fees. not looking for meaningful financial return at all, more for the experience and learning.


I am running a lightning node and about to open a few channels to try and get some fees. Any experienced person to explain to me in advance how I will rug myself in the process?


I am most productive when I am not at work.


that is true. I end up using it and I am in peace now. lol


I posted a bunch of evidence on Twitter for how 1) grocery stores have razor thin margins, 2) food producer margins are more average but haven't changed in two decades, 3) of course farmers aren't the ones getting rich so 4) no, the food companies are not gouging you on prices.

It's monetary inflation. Grocery stores and food producers are trying to keep up.

Most people agree due to the inherent audience selection, but the tweets kind of went viral and reached a broader political audience, so a bunch of people came in like, "How come they can put chips on sale for 50% sometimes!?!? Checkmate Alden." (it's because they don't understand fixed costs vs cost-of-goods sold) or "How do you know any of the filings are real? What if they're literally all just lying on their audited SEC filings?"

Post-truth, some of people are. The grasping for price controls is the short-time public and political instinct that ultimately makes things worse, every time.

I love bisq to be honest but I am trying to use other options and not move coisn to the bisq wallet snd back for this next buy. I never had issues with bisqz except it wont work in mac until you remove it from quarantine.


I will five that a go. Trying not to move coins to the bisq wallet and back.


how is the premium over there? just checked peach and is about 10%. I might end up in bisq again. my favourite one.

show this to your financial advisor:

I have a cyclical asset with a 4 year cycle. these are the returns when holding full cycle since 2016 (bought 2012).

is there any argument to not be invested in this asset?

Good morning. Today is a good day. The US Government has agreed to release TDev on bail according to a letter filed on July 3rd.

TDev's defense makes incredibly smart arguments, stating that the US Government's prosecution is as "aggressive as it is expansive, akin to charging Apple for  cybercrimes commited with MacBooks. And like such a charge, it impermissibly uses criminal law to affect policy change. He is facing  charges he can, should, and will contest at trial."

Putting the charges in context, the defense states that "to stop Bitcoin wallet providers from providing privacy and security services, or to  force them to police their customers as banks must, the government has not sought to change the law, or even FinCEN’s guidance on it."

The letter states that the US Government "has prosecuted individuals operating a service they had every reason to  believe was legal, and stretched to decorate the charges with  decontextualized quotes that attempt to sketch out their agreement to  criminal transactions the government does not allege they knew about in  advance or explicitly agreed to".

CPI is the greatest scam of all times. It makes people think consumer goods are getting more expensive, when in reality those goods are getting cheaper. The average person is just getting poorer at a faster rate.

What do you mean by capitalism? Private property, free trade and capital accumulation? Because you are describing is a centralised government/big corporation alliance who brainwash people into destroying their capital to buy cheap and stupid stuff. It has nothing to do with what I see as capitalism.

If bitcoin price keeps appreciating bitcoiners will have more and more economical power. Miners sell bitcoin in their business model. Self interested hodlers with their node ans bitcoin will become more economically relevant then miners. This can potentially shift the power balance.


I think enterprise AI will demand so much power the bitcoin mining will become less comercial and centralized abd more purpose driven and decentrized.


I heard you want some hard questions and I got one for you. What will you do if you end up in the loosing side of a hardfork? Let's say 3 years from now we had a hardfork, you dumped ine and held the one that's valued at 5% the other chain? Now what?


Thanks flr getting back to me.My issue now is I removed the previous Bitcoin Core file and everything with it and the new one was never started and I don't seem to have a config file.


if you feel like helping a non technical person, I've been failing to connect my bitcoin core with sparrow. it always returns the following error: "Cannot find Bitcoin Core cookie file at..."
I end up looking into you guide and added txindex into the config file. As my node was pruned Ive got the following error: "Error: Prune mode is incompatible with -txindex." I removed the command from the config file and error persisted. I could not open my bitcoin core. So ai removed and reinstalled Bitcoin Core, a different version even. I still get the same "Error: Prune mode is incompatible with -txindex" error and cannot open any bitcoin core application. Do you have any suggestion on how to troubleshoot this? I am using a mac and happy to pay for your service.


exatamente por isso to dizendo que precisamos de mais gente rodando nodes...


mas eu nao to falando das massas. to falando da nossa bolha mesmo. quase ninguem tem um node lightning rodando. e se os lsps vao ser atacados a unica forma de a lightning network servir pra qualquer coisa, eh mais bitcoiners nerds rodando nodes. ta claro faz tempo que precisamos de outras alternativas de layers alem da lightning e as alternativas estao vindo.

Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.

If two parties have some sort of dealings, then each has a memory of their interaction. Each party can speak about their own memory of this; how could anyone prevent it? One could pass laws against it, but the freedom of speech, even more than privacy, is fundamental to an open society; we seek not to restrict any speech at all. If many parties speak together in the same forum, each can speak to all the others and aggregate together knowledge about individuals and other parties. The power of electronic communications has enabled such group speech, and it will not go away merely because we might want it to.

Since we desire privacy, we must ensure that each party to a transaction have knowledge only of that which is directly necessary for that transaction. Since any information can be spoken of, we must ensure that we reveal as little as possible. In most cases personal identity is not salient. When I purchase a magazine at a store and hand cash to the clerk, there is no need to know who I am. When I ask my electronic mail provider to send and receive messages, my provider need not know to whom I am speaking or what I am saying or what others are saying to me; my provider only need know how to get the message there and how much I owe them in fees. When my identity is revealed by the underlying mechanism of the transaction, I have no privacy. I cannot here selectively reveal myself; I must always reveal myself.

Therefore, privacy in an open society requires anonymous transaction systems. Until now, cash has been the primary such system. An anonymous transaction system is not a secret transaction system. An anonymous system empowers individuals to reveal their identity when desired and only when desired; this is the essence of privacy.

Privacy in an open society also requires cryptography. If I say something, I want it heard only by those for whom I intend it. If the content of my speech is available to the world, I have no privacy. To encrypt is to indicate the desire for privacy, and to encrypt with weak cryptography is to indicate not too much desire for privacy. Furthermore, to reveal one's identity with assurance when the default is anonymity requires the cryptographic signature.

We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to their advantage to speak of us, and we should expect that they will speak. To try to prevent their speech is to fight against the realities of information. Information does not just want to be free, it longs to be free. Information expands to fill the available storage space. Information is Rumor's younger, stronger cousin; Information is fleeter of foot, has more eyes, knows more, and understands less than Rumor.

We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place. People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers. The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do.

We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money.

Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down.

Cypherpunks deplore regulations on cryptography, for encryption is fundamentally a private act. The act of encryption, in fact, removes information from the public realm. Even laws against cryptography reach only so far as a nation's border and the arm of its violence. Cryptography will ineluctably spread over the whole globe, and with it the anonymous transactions systems that it makes possible.

For privacy to be widespread it must be part of a social contract. People must come and together deploy these systems for the common good. Privacy only extends so far as the cooperation of one's fellows in society. We the Cypherpunks seek your questions and your concerns and hope we may engage you so that we do not deceive ourselves. We will not, however, be moved out of our course because some may disagree with our goals.

The Cypherpunks are actively engaged in making the networks safer for privacy. Let us proceed together apace.

Onward.

Its really hard. One easy answer would be "just use Mulvad" as they get btc payment and don't have your data. But it is too expensive to many and bitcoin is still uncomfortable for most. Just a tiny % would actually use it, and I do not know how many customers Mulvad alone can service.

Create a wallet and /or address for emergency use

Resilience is about being able to safely traverse difficulties, danger or threats without significant loss.

Bitcoiners have been thinking about ways to make themselves, their families, and their lives more resilient in all sorts of aspects. One of those is typically the security of their bitcoin in their own custody.

Ignoring HOW you choose to custody your bitcoin, it is a common 'escape hatch' that if <EVENT> happens, then I'll move my coins to a new wallet.

Typical example is if one of a set of keys in a multi-sig is lost/stolen/compromised. Another could be the tamper-proof bag holding a seed plate or passphrase being violated - or potentially violated.

So again, IGNORING HOW you choose to custody your bitcoin, you now have a need to move them.

Two things will now simultaneously be in play:

    You will have a sense of urgency
    You will be in a heightened state of stress

These two things do NOT help thinking coolly and calmly about best practice for creating a new wallet and from that, a new address.

You may also not be in a place, time or environment to do so.

This is the time when you want to grab that pre-prepared wallet/address/xpub from a safe place and *know*: I got this covered.

So pick a quiet time, and go through your routine for creating a new wallet; protect those seed words and the passphrase, and then:

*keep the xpub or the address in an easily accessible place*

Well done - you've increased your resiliency, and hopefully, just like house insurance, you never have to use it! 🤝

How are you thinking bitcoin savings for your kids?


I just recently started to buy bitcoin for my SMSF, so more suit selling would be highly appreciated.


UTXOs are for anyone not for everyone.


Disagree. If we extrapolate and imagine all sats have something "unique" about them what's the value then? Most people will never even know this "rare sats" exists. Of those who do, most people will never run and ordinals software to look at this. I don't think we need to worry about it.


Altruism doesn’t scale for platforms or protocols. Incentives and technology do.

Platforms and protocols need to be utterly die-hard resilient and aligned with incentives and technology in order to persist. Dumb, stupid, basic protocols at the base with complicated and controversial shit built on top.

On top of die-hard platforms and protocols we can build altruistic clusters, but those clusters are not universal enough to serve as the platform or protocol itself.

Bitcoin is for enemies. Any platform like Twitter or even more-so any protocol like Nostr is for enemies too. As long as you can pay.

That seemed obvious, but in recent months it seems apparently not obvious. If there is a core bug with incentives that could be fixed, then by all means advocate for a fix.

But otherwise, what exists will persist. Bitcoin is like the Dude, and the Dude abides. https://image.nostr.build/086c29e3815a7e166ddafab8714b47223d94634ca288055583ab7ad80989dd6e.jpg


This idea of forking off humam stupidity is never gonna work.


What about for ios users?


Introducing Nutband – a post fiat apocalypse Cashu client working over Reticulum

A demo of Reticulum, Cashu and my project Nutband that combines them,  in order to use a Cashu mint over Reticulum mesh network – in this case  over long range radio, and without internet.

Finally made the demo video

You can't make this shit up. The government and central banks are always fighting to either increase prices or unemployment.  The solution to this is pretty simple. Is to get ourselves out of the ponzinomics.


ETFs don't increase bitcoin network effects. Network effects are extremely relevant to a stronger eco system.


The chances of Saylor loosing his coins is smaller than ETFs chances.


Saylor is no fool. Mix of street, engineering and financials smarts. He will outperform pretty much all true bitcoiners.


My normie friends won't ask me about bitcoin until a new all time high. I am not saying shit about.


We can't gwt a break. I am 1 week away to my bonus and this fucking suits are playing thei etf fiat games.


It would fail miserably, and plebs would have fun.

The only use case I want for bitcoin is vaults/better security. For anything else, I am happy to wait decades for open source developers and/or entrepreneurs to figure ot ou on second/third/fourh... layers


I still don't get the relay thing. What do I have the relays I have and what/how to look for in selecting what relays do I want to be connected.


What about Angelina Jolie in Tomb Rider. Could she have a whole coin?


We have too many smart kids and too little adults in bitcoin IMO. Most bitcoiners are not successful in providing value, just in figuring out bitcoin early.


Anything kids related?


nostr:npub1r8l06leee9kjlam0slmky7h8j9zme9ca32erypgqtyu6t2gnhshs3jx5dk great one by they way


This guy is not one of us. That's why he is and will continue to outperform us all. He is business and street smarter than any bitcoiner thinker/podcaster/galaxy brain developer out there. I don't want to be him, and no one should follow him (nor anyone), but I suggest we all listen to this guy and respect him. Just check his bags for god sake.

Is there any single socumented case of a nerdminer finding a block?


Be a good dad. Start a business.


Happy new year. Lots of accomplishment for you all

There is 3rd one. Most bitcoiners agree we need to scale bitcoin. I am not even sure what utility inscriptions have.


I believe there is a lower panic for 2 reasons. 1) lightning it is a second layer. 2) it is not as new as ordinals. But some of the softfork proposals, as CTV are justified by lightning shortcomings.


Bitcoiners need to think about kids allowances.  Our kids won't knoe a world without bitcoin and we need a proper kids wallets.


Considering most action in the space is sponsored by VCs they might want more control eventually. They won't get it in bitcoin. That's when a bitcoin VC fork could happen. At leas that is my understanding of his point. It agrees the market chose bitcoin for now. It doesn't mean that bitcoin as it is will work for selling jpegs for ever.


Yeah. Still think hisq is the best for larger purchases and lower fees.

Funny to see macro suits thinking they are the most relevant players in bitcoin with their ~3% market share. "We are gonna sell the news". Do it fuckers! You are not getting it back at those prices, idiots.

We would have bitcoin sv and bitcoin vc


Bem demais Cris!


Interesting perspective


Lol
Purposefully offensive  Christmas romp. Looking forward for this one lads.


You rather use robosats, peach or hodlhold? I am still using the old school bisq.


Never regret spending sats on bitcoiners


You got my first nostr zaps. Via muun. Whenever you get wrong about the mempool mever clearing again you are getting my sats. Lol


I haven't heard about a few oh those. Thanks for adding to my infinite reading list.


I feel I'm getting a transaction confirmation for Christmas

Just got into nosr few minutes ago. Still have no idea on why I have the relays I have, and what relays to actively select for my account.


Finally got into NOSTR
