 Parenthood is.... ___________ 
 The most valuable learning opportunity  
 You get maturity, find someone with similar values, marry, have a baby. Then outsource the parenthood to someone else, or for all day school because you are struggling economically.  Both parents have to work to afford a miserable life, and somehow people are so brainwashed they believe this is better.  
 Fui aluno do Leitão acho que há mais de 12 anos, se bem me lembro antes mesmo de ganhar meus primeiros satoshis nas "faucets" da época...
Gosto muito da simplicidade que ele tem de expor seus pontos de vista, e apesar de ele só falar de B3, acompanho até hoje, e vejo muita lógica na forma dele pensar.
Com toda a delicadeza, ele aborda:
Brasileiro é néscio? Sim.
Pesquisa não significa nada? Sim.
Órgãos de pesquisas manipulam resultados? Sim.
Há esperanças para o Brasil? Não.

 Wow, only 4 years ago?
I'm on it for more than 10y, but never really worked in BTC businesses.
Congratulations on becoming so relevant in such a short period.

 Thanks, save me a lot of research  
 Cara, fui conhecer a história dele esses dias.
A mãe dele postou que seria aniversário de 38 anos dele no twitter, e repostaram aqui. 
Caramba, o cara era um gênio da computação, e com ideais bem perturbadores pra quem está no poder mesmo.
Que triste fim ele teve...
 
 Coragem! Parabéns!

Mas nunca vi, se for boa manda aí, panela é daora 
 Genius!
Ans it is a pity that woke people are not known to keep their word. Otherwise USA would be free from many morons. 
 E aí, goldbugs?
"...um comprador, descrito como “goldbug ferrenho” (alguém que defende fortemente o investimento em ouro) ofereceu apenas R$350 por grama, uma desvalorização significativa de 30%."

Um ativo que quanto mais vc tem, menos ele vale, interessante.🤔🤌

 If being a bitcoiner means being responsible for maintaining the code, or even being some relevant person in Bitcoin education, then I agree with you.
However, if being a bitcoiner simply means to use Bitcoin, then we must always think that Bitcoin is for everyone in the first place.
To be honest, this is no black and white question, and I tend to think the first way, but always try to force myself to think the second way. 
 E aí, bitcoinheiros, vamos seguir a tendência?

 A quick explanation of how to assess a Bitcoin miner for profitability...

Let's take the S21 Pro... 
 I frequently make the calculations, then just buy the sats. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 
 Imagine if a group of people were in charge of deciding the laws of physics, biology, or nature. It’s impossible for any human to make such decisions without being influenced by their own interests, no matter how good their intentions might be. History shows us that human-made laws often bend to the biases, beliefs, and preferences of those in power. If fundamental rules like gravity, the speed of light, or DNA coding could be altered overnight based on shifting opinions or agendas, the result would be chaos. We wouldn’t know what to trust; the very fabric of reality would feel unstable.

In contrast, the laws of nature are impartial and unchanging. They don’t cater to anyone’s whims or personal gain. Gravity holds, the Earth orbits the sun, and our biology operates predictably. This immutability is what allows us to trust in the world around us, to build, innovate, and live with confidence that these laws won’t be rewritten tomorrow.

Bitcoin operates on a similar principle. Instead of being controlled by a select group who could adjust the system to suit their interests, Bitcoin is governed by code. The rules of this code—like the fixed supply cap, the block verification process, and the issuance rate—are transparent and open for anyone to see and understand. Because Bitcoin’s network is decentralized, no single authority can alter these rules. And because of this decentralization, Bitcoin remains stable and predictable, much like the natural laws that govern our universe.

This structure allows people to trust Bitcoin much as they trust the laws of nature. Users can rely on the system’s stability, knowing that its rules will operate the same way day after day. And by running the code themselves, they even help enforce these rules, just as every action we take implicitly affirms our trust in gravity or the laws of physics. In this way, Bitcoin acts almost like a financial "natural law"—impartial, decentralized, and offering a level of trust and transparency that human governance alone struggles to provide.

 I also got the dm. But this profile is not nip5 verified, it shows a disclaimer in the cover image telling to check nip5, therefore shows that the profile is a malicious impersonation. Some plebs may fall for that, unfortunately  
 I'm using amethyst. It shows that, but the profile is not really nip5 verified were it should appear. https://image.nostr.build/4c495b2b32f837cbc0c90e7744ddd4383a607ce8a234b7d3178a09efd3df55d3.jpg

 It's sus to me how cheap vpns are

Looking at my own costs for hosting and bandwidth, seems like ... 
 Makes sense... But in the case of non-kyc, they theoretically don't have any user information. However, they are more expensive. In the end of the day, minimize trust is the correct route. 
 If you're a never Trumper, you're the problem.  Gfy  
 There were a long time campaign blaming rich people for every problem on earth. The normies bought that, and believe that the private initiative is the root of poverty and inequality. Than recently the problem became the white, heterosexual man... Trump represents all that. People responsible for all that is laughing on every slave fighting each other instead of them. 
 This idiot kept posting pictures of Amazon rainforest burning in disapproval of previous Brazilian president, which was right wing. This year a much larger part of Amazon burned, as well as many forests in the whole country, but he didn't say a word, as a leftist is on charge. 
 I thought removing the PFP was a trend. Was going to do the same. 🫂🤦🏻‍♂️ 
 Unfortunately it's true... If you don't have a PFP set, some clients display an unique image based on your npub, so it's almost impossible to make a fake of your profile... It thought that people was removing the picture with that in mind.

 I already saw some kind of offer where the reject button, instead of having "no, thanks" or "reject", had the text "I prefer paying more"... Something like that. Everything to trick our brains. Imagine how much do they get with our data. That's why it's called the new oil. 
 Do you live a different lifestyle depending on how long has passed since the latest salary? Time to rethink, fren.  
 Just talking to myself...

 Sim, há risco.
O relay pode saber seu IP e pode precisar entregar sob ordem judicial.
Solucao é vpn, tor, i2p, etc.
Se vc usa amethyst, as versões novas já vem com tor embutido, acredito que padrão.
Mas seus posts antigos podem entregar sua identidade se vc iniciou no nostr sem se preocupar com isso.
Note que existem muitas camadas, e o relay provavelmente estará em outro país e outra jurisdição, mas todo cuidado é pouco dependendo do que vc quiser falar.
Se cuide!

 
 Cada relay terá sua política.
Uma coisa chata é que ainda não há um padrão para os relays informarem esses tipos de coisas, como política de retenção de dados.
Mesmo os relays mais antigos e os pagos ainda tem muito o que melhorar. 
Mas o nostr só vai pra frente e as coisas só vão melhorando se tiverem usuários, importante a gente ficar aqui.

 Essa questão de não poderem vincular você ao seu perfil é verdade, mas dependendo do seu "threat model" podem investir recursos pra conseguir. Por exemplo o caso do Ross, que já sabiam que era ele, mas pra conseguirem provar, esperaram ele logar na conta da silkroad em um café e pegaram o cara. Estavam de olho por muito tempo esperando a hora do cara dar uma rata. 
 Coldcard issue:

Failure message when going to sign a transaction that says

FAILURE
my XFP not I... 
 I have a mk3 and the following happened to me:
I created my seed rolling dice, put into the coldcard with a passphrase.
When I exported it to sparrow, coldcard didn't consider the passphrase when generating the wallet and I didn't notice.
I deposited some sats to test, generating the receiving address with sparrow.
Then, when I tried to make a spending transaction with sparrow, the signature didn't work, and I don't remember if I got the same error as you.
I tried to do the same with seedsigner, and then the wallet gave a warning that that was a full spend transaction, meaning that the change utxo was going not to my wallet.
I realized that I had different wallets in coldcard (which was the same I imported in seedsigner) and sparrow and after investigating I discovered that the difference was that one of them was not using a passphrase.
Please check your wallet identifier in both coldcard and your hot wallet. 
 It seems a known issue, or as someone may say: "It's a feature, not a bug"

 Isso é só o começo...
Lado bom é que tira a galera das exchanges.
Lado ruim é que depois usam isso pra falar que é lavagem de dinheiro e grana oriunda de crime.
 
 Não pensei nessa, estimula o HODL 😉
