 How getting into self-custody of Bitcoin as a noob felt like.

 Found an old journal entry from 2015.

“I have almost fully pulled out of the stock market as it seems to be priced too high. I’m looking into #bitcoin as a potential savings solution.”


I never bought any coins. I guess “we all get Bitcoin at the price we deserve. 😂 

#bitcoin #plebschain 
 You don’t want to know.
Bought and sold in 2018. The volatility shook me out of the market. 

Then I bought high in 2022 and watched it dwindle down and eventually forgot about it.

(Basically fomo:ed into the market with know knowledge or conviction two times.)

Then I fell deep down the rabbit hole in January this year and have been spending the last 8 month educating myself day and night. + stacking 

We all get Bitcoin at the price we deserve. 
 The plan is to quit tobacco forever l

I love stacking and if I can tie my commitment to quitting tobacco to stacking sats then I believe my likelihood of success increases.

 Day 6 of “Day 6 instead of tobacco”

Failed miserably last Friday. A coworker offered me some Swedish snus (tobacco pouches) and my ingrained and automatic response was to take one. Afterwards, I rationalized that I might as well buy a box for myself…. “It was Friday after all”.

Well, i knew these things would happen. I threw away much tobacco Saturday morning and came up with a plan for how to handle these situation in the future.

Today I put two days of saving from not doing tobacco on Saturday and Sunday and it bought me 13873 #sats

 I think I’ve underestimated the egalitarian aspect of bitcoin. 

For instance, when you own real estate and the price goes up you can cheer with other house owners. While those who are saving up to buy a home feel see the goal post move away from them.

In bitcoin, anyone can join the team at any price, and we can cheer together.

Day 3: “Buying Sats instead of tobacco”.


Note:
My wife said I have a more immature emotional control than my kids. Yes, I have been acting like a dick and get angered easily these days. (And I’m still taking nicotine pills to help keeping me sane.. yikes..😳)

Hopefully it gets better soon…stacked a few sats yesterday.

 Impressive! Gives me hope 
 🙏 thanks for the support! 
 GM!

Quit tobacco yesterday and I’m putting all the money I save from that decision into Sats. 

Stacking Sats will keep me motivated through the withdrawal period. 

Haha! Wish me luck 🍀

 I know… I quite for 5 years… still fell back and now I’ve been doing nicotine for another 3 years. The poison is strong. Thanks for the support!

 📚 NEW VIDEO: “The Bitcoin Standard” by Saifedean Ammous. Book review and Summary.

📝 “Hard money, by taking the question of supply out of the hands of government and their economist propagandists would force everyone to be productive to society instead of seeking to get rich through the fool's errand of monetary manipulation.”

 Let the countdown begin! 
 Hi everyone ☺️✌🏽

#introductions 
 Great time to join! Welcome! 
 Haha wtf?! 😂 
 That’s the proper way! That’s how I play this game too. Originally is overrated, 😉. 
 …and here I am at 2.30 am. Fucking up my sleep and certain to neglect my kids tomorrow. 

(Well, they will be happy when I say that it’s unlimited screen time tomorrow because daddy is tired as fuck. + I don’t think they see having McDonald for both lunch and dinner as a negative thing.)

 What would be considered a regular fee price for a block? 🧐 
 Congrats on the halving! The mood is just so weird in these live streams during the halving moment. Awkward claps, and psychos in ski masks, spontaneous floss dance. . 😎 https://video.nostr.build/46948edb2ba3c803a03ca3f13f5b678d1be51bc496c8f8238dcfb37edff00ad1.mp4  
 Just joined and checking out what Nostr is all about

 Welcome! 
 Any #zappathon madness happening here at the halving? 

I’ve stacked memes!!

 Haha!! Good point! 
 Class of 2017

How many #Bitcoin  Halvings have you been through as a Hodler?! 

#BTC 
 This is my first. I had some sats in 2018 but I didn’t know what I was doing and sold because I couldn’t take the volatility. Basically lacked understanding, and hence sold everything. This will be my first halving. Will hodl. 
 I really enjoyed The Bitcoin Standard. It’s one of the reasons I ended up here on Nostr 🙃 
 Hi, I'm from Sweden and I have always been curious and a early adopter of tech that I find could ... 
 Welcome! Nice to find another Swede on here 🇸🇪 
 GM! 

It’s funny that “sats” is Swedish slang for “cum load” since forever. 🇸🇪 💦 

This is something that puts a smile on my face from time to time.

 Me from shouting from the bedroom: “Have you brushed you teeth yet?”

My 9yo son mishearing me from the living room:

“Satoshi Nakamoto?! What did you say about Satoshi Nakamoto?! 

The future is bright.

 Haha, thanks for the zaps. I payed them forwarded them to my son’s lighting wallet. ⚡️ 😂 
 #Bitcoin has its ups and downs. Stay humble and professional.

 GM! 

I’m leveling up my #bitcoin game and got myself my first hardware wallet. 

What’s some pitfalls and cautions to consider? 

I know this community are the right people to ask. 

I bought it directly from the manufacturer which seems to be rule nr. 1 for hardware wallets.

 Thank you! I’ll keep that in mind as my stack grows. 

I really appreciate all of your support. With a community like this, bitcoin can’t fail. 
 Not yet! I started to look into setting it up, but was interrupted by the kids and never got back to it.

Only thing I know is that you need to buy it directly from the manufacturer to minimize the chance of getting a device that’s been tampered with
