 Today confronted with "Endless #Scammers Everywhere"


A good timeless read on this topic:

 I am curious what you mean with multisig is broken on Sparrow and Coldcard. 
 Let Celsius network, blockfi and a lot other platforms be a lesson to not trust banks/exchanges lend out  your funds! Be your own bank, hold your own keys.

 Yes.

 If you don´t need to spend bitcoin on goods and services you probably have not enough bitcoin 
 Warning : This cycle is different. Shitcoin believers have no idea what they're up against.

 I agree because shitcoiners can´t make the claim that their coin has less fees or is faster,... like in other cycles. A lot of shitcoiners don´t know lightning, cashu or nostr. 
 Some is a knowledge issue, the other parts are greed, the feeling of having missed the boat.

 If Amethyst gets Nests and Stories, it would be the one privacy oriented social app to rule them ... 
 I fully agree 💯 One other big thing would be integrate video streaming 
 Vraag is hoe kan je iemand aan deze linker zijde orange pillen want deze feiten overtuigen ze blijkbaar niet. 
 Inderdaad heb ik ook gemerkt dat staatscontrole loslaten nogal veel weerstand geeft. Ook het idee baas over eigen geld is nogal een moeilijke. Idd ik zal het meer uit hun oogpunt moeten bekijken om ze te helpen met bitcoin.

 You are a very early adaptor of new application 👍 at this moment I view the podcast with fountain. Diversify client or apps to publish is a good thing so bans/censorship is not very effective + having a bigger audience.  
 Telegram was never private.

 It had a good usecase, communicate without being censored. Probably in the future not anymore. For private communication it has failed indeed.    
 Traders at bitcoin meetups, gfy iykyk 
 They hope to gain some insider knowledge, when insiders pump and dump. But come to the realisation bitcoin is different and bitcoin maxis won´t take their shitcoin bags. 
 Arnhem is doing a good job in bitcoin adoption. If the things I hear about it are true. I must definitely visit the city! 
 Some people say that you survive on bitcoin only, in Arnhem. I want to know if it is easy or just possible. Like paying groceries or rent a house with lightning for example. 
 Looks very nice. I will go to Arnhem to have some experience of the future 😃   
 At this moment I wouldn´t advise people to go all in bitcoin if they didn´t do the research and have full conviction. Have only bitcoin and no fiat when you are ready for it.

   Can´t be against that if they know the importance of have your own keys and why bitcoin an not a shit/alt coin. Are prepared for a volatile ride.

 Here's the thing about a store of value... 

you eventually have to SELL at least some of it, oth... 
 Yea, I agree, people must use bitcoin for what ever they want and like. Some for long term use like a house and short term gratification. Others will see it just as assurance. Only the person with the bitcoin decide what is the right of using it. Bitcoin don´t care how you use it.  
 NOSTR HAS BEEN MY ONLY SOCIAL MEDIA FOR A YEAR NOW AND IT IS FUCKING AWESOME.

WE HAVE MADE INSAN... 
 Yea it definitely progressed on the user experience part from both more content and the technological part. Now you can have a very good experience as non technical person if you use Amethyst or primal as client. Other clients are not good enough for most people but it is pretty normal in alpha version. 

I am excited where we will go next 2-3 years forward! 
 I am pretty sure client side scanning is already happening on most popular messaging apps like Whatsapp and fb messenger. The law chatcontrol would make it just easier to surveillance. 
 This has also some dangers to put on a list of state dangerous people. If most rebels give their identity away it is easy to target this group and sillence them. 
 Belgian replacement of njump or snort? 
 I have the same problem 
 It looks a cool idea but it need some tweaks to let it work 
 something like reddit and seeing the content without the need to have an nsec 
 A public chatroom of belgium bitcoin embassy and the option to divide it in different topics 
 Because most first users want just viewing before participating. Making an nsec first is little bump in the road. It is good when your bought in to nostr. 
 Bitcoiners won't suffer the same faith as the Libertarians movement, because... 
 Incentives are too good 
 Idea: Nostr Academy 

I would like the ability to host private video educational series with zap ... 
 Zap.stream
flare.pub
Or and post it on the social client of nostr like Amethyst. 
Zap.stream is at this moment better than flare.pub . The user interface lack some what if you compare it to youtube. Especially on android. I HOPE YOU AND OTHER BITCOIN ONLY VIDEO STREAMCHANNELS WILL FOLLOW TO GO NOSTR. 
 I fully agree, publish on nostr. Promote people from rumble to go to nostr. Put a link out every video with a link to nostr. 
 With proton vpn, stealth protocol, you don´t have this problem 
 I am not married with a vpn provider, choose the vpn or no vpn you need. Assuming vpn providers are honeypots looks In most cases not far from the truth.  
 I agree only if you don´t preach to kill some one. 
 Getting more wealth is simple not easy

Do´s:
Dca bitcoin with your personal and business money, automate it.
Ignore the price in euros or dollars completely, 30% up or down doesn´t matter.
Live below your means.
Store the bitcoin on a hardware device.
Have a time frame of holding for 10 years or more.



Do not:

trade altcoins/shitcoins. But? NO, NO, NO!!!!
Diversify in other assets.
Put leverage on your bitcoin.
Listen to traders in general also on youtube and tiktok.

If you want do more than just #dca bitcoin and hold it on hardware wallet, study more about and how you can hold that only thing in your portfolio safe. 


#stack sats and stay humble

 You would also advise to use multisig and avoid Single sig?  
 Sparrow is godly. nostr:note1akpe4jlecf7xuueup2l5m03tncpp0tctca44qml33gzaxjvmp8rst9u6fw 
 Why does ZEUS use Aezeed instead of bip 39? A friend of mine use zeus to send a taproot transaction, the change was to a native segwit adres it doesn´t show up to ZEUS wallet. What did go wrong and what should he do? 
 Yea I have seen it, not the most convenient option. A bit stressfull to use a web converteren for the Aezeed seeds. If would be easier that sparrow wallet and others would use also Aezeed or you used bip 39 or had the master private key to copy. 
 Thanks a lot!!!!  
 In yesterday's news... Bitcoin isn't money.


Catch gymnastics last night?  
 The same people are the first "can you give me a bitcoin or can you put me in your testament."
