 strongly agree, also ecash a great way of doing custodial lightning minimizing some risky aspect (fixing privacy and avoid company-lock-ins detaining ecash from multiple mints on company-agnostic softwares). 
 dont agree, ecash mints are, in the worst case, on par with typical (database-based) custodial.
If things go well there are a lot of benefit added.
You can be locked in a mint with some of your liquidity, but your multi-mint wallet still works fine with most of your liquidity. And your payment are private. 
 my favourite scream films:

5) scream mtv series
6) all the rest was at same level of badness.

 lawful rebellion is an oximoron and cant really exists. Its a rebellion and an anti-oppressor (and so anti-oppressor-laws) set of actions, or is statalist complacency.
Civil rebellion can exist, and its defined by anti-oppressor actions that tend to be non-violent.

 How many Nostr apps are currently installed in your phone? 
 how is satsprice a "nostr app"? 
 agree, thats why we need nostr based solution. People ephasizing how "secure" is ios or signal app forgot that security without freedom is temporary and accidental. 
 yeah, but no. Nostr is horizontal and decentralized from day zero, simplex is a platform well documented unless people start doing third party implementations of clients and server.
I think projects that start like simplex dont end decentralized and open. Would be happy to be wrong! 
 a some instamce of the same code, nit different implementations 
 fixable by real adoption, we will se if it will ever happen.

 I feel the change happened to me and how I'm effectively different today (its like my internal rationality wasnt fully developed).
I dont understand the fluctuation in some periods of the last letter, from p to j.

 I am just a pleb, dont have much wealth and I suffer. But not because I'm greedy. I just want to be the greatest tax avoider of all time and do all the illicit activities I can. 
The greatest fucking enemy of these bastards of all time.

 Can't wait to get rid of all the push notification bullshit inside of Amethyst. Pokey rocks.  
 heyyy interact with me I'm trying to see if I see notifications 
 this gave me headache 
 perfectly👌💜 
 I repeat it, if you are not doing tax-evasion you are not using bitcoin correctly, expect problems and dont complains about malfunctions because is by design. 
Self custody without privacy is the most retarded thing you can do. 
 hi nostr:nprofile1qqs8y6s7ycwvv36xwn5zsh3e2xemkyumaxnh85dv7jwus6xmscdpcygpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj9ekh2arfdeuhwctvd3jhgtnrdakj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7qxvpy4 in the new update zap.store seems unable to recognize when I uninstall an app previously installed in trought zap.store. In particular I installed and unistalled 0xchat it is still showed as "installed". If I click to "open" to open the app nothing happens. 
 nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0h3gy93 confirm the issue is present even with other apps, it doesnt refresh applist after uninstallations and so uninstalled apps are still showed as installed.

 could be very cool, but still give an half-hidden  option to "anyway, generate/import my nsec".

Ps. tor-browser still outdated with critical vuln;
Pss. maybe could be good a feature for in-app user reporting, where users can signal if something is outdated or is suspicious/scam or something going wrong. All filtered and antispammed trough web-of-trust.
Could be simpler to implement instead of a "full user-review system", still would cover the really important cases.

 with fiat you have two options:

- be a debt-slave: you will own nothing and will be a good guy so they can permit you to live your miserable life.

- be a credit-slave: you will own nothing and will be a good guy so they can permit you to live your miserable life (but you work hard to keep your bank account green). 
 ETF is better than "report to government your self-custodied bitcoins for taxation purpose".

Self custody without privacy is retarded and there isnt any use case where it can be good.

ETF or third paety custody has his own situations (corporation business investments for example) where could be a legitimate choice.

Self custody + privacy is what make you a powerful and a sovrein human. 
 PEOPLE WHO DO NOT SELF CUSTODY BITCOIN, THERE IS A NAME FOR THEM, WE CALL THEM POOR. 
 people who disclose their self-custodied stacks we call them influencers or stupids

nostr:nevent1qqsxuqf8zqsuar6wnyxmzx38gw7cckjdn8268... 
 absolutely stupid 100%. Also, to justify him a bit, I think that the best way to expose your fiat business to bitcoin is trought custodians. If you are a business you want to pay taxes, be compliant, and so on to continue to do your fiat business; so self custody is mostly a risk.
Also, even in that case, I would use bitcoin in self custody + complete privacy for doing what bitcoin is useful for: tax evasion and hiding wealth. 
But they are two "different profiles" for different use cases.

If I would be him probably I would "act" like him (while speeching very differently, and understanding others perspectives). We know how many bitcoin microstrategy has with custodians, by definition we dont know how many bitcoin Saylor is hiding in self custody (probably 0 as he seems so retarded, but still, we dont know by design).

For myfelf, as subject that dont have a fiat business to be compliant with I dont have any doubt, I'd go 100% with privacy + self custody + tax evasion. (or 98% hide / 2% tax-reported to make my profile credible, idk). 
 agree👌 
 hi guys, how many "bitcoiner maxis" do you think could be in the world today? Someone who do self custody with a large stack of their property (not 5% allocation...), hate the states, dont do shitcoins, and so on? What metric could be used to count them?
#asknostr 
 I dont understand how someone can be so bullish on bitcoin still not understanding literally nothing about it 
 Domesticated #bitcoin is captured bitcoin

 Nostr needs key rotation like Bluesky, where you can rotate your compromised client key using you... 
 Nah, key rotation without a centralized trusted third party doesnt scale anyway, doesnt change much the thungs IMO. Still we need this to make our nerdy bitcoiners CEOs sign their shitposting from the iphone keeping the master key airgapped. 
 I hate iphones cause they are the most walled-garden mobile experiences, but they are better then other solutions in terms of privacy and security (the only better alternative is grapheneos).
I'm ok with shitposting. 
 I was able to create a wallet with a burner mail and with "spiderman" as name and "mcspidey" as surname, or something like that
