Yes, I agree. that's why I don't think you should just accept this framing. I don't agree that all actual laws, definitions, intentions, etc don't matter. The state has power but they don't have all of the power.


All you could do is roll over then. There's hardly anything to try with.


You have a great point lol.

The underlying problem I see is that Bitcoin developers are not interested in privacy, it would be very naive to think that Bitcoin developers are no longer under the influence of some three-letter agency.

I understand what you're saying. It's written clearly. The FAQ answers your questions and is clear about what you said was suss. Maybe other people aren't understanding what you're saying because of how you're communicating your thoughts. Am I really being shallow or accusatory? I never said you didn't read the FAQ. You also admitted that you didn't know Micay stepped down basically a year ago.

Nebraska Ends Income Taxes On Gold And Silver, Declares CBDC’s Are Not Lawful Money

Nebraska Ends Income Taxes On Gold And Silver, Declares CBDC’s Are Not Lawful Money

            https://mises.org/power-market/nebraska-ends-income-taxes-gold-and-silver-declares-cbdcs-are-not-lawful-money
,

https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/neb2.JPG?itok=JRwYVD2O

With Gov. Jim Pillen’s recent signature, Nebraska has become the 12th state to end capital gains taxes on sales of gold and silver.

LB 1317 is the fourth major sound money bill to become law this year, as state lawmakers across the nation scramble to protect the public from the ravages of inflation and runaway federal debt.

Under the new Nebraska law, any “gains” or “losses” on precious metal sales reported on federal income tax returns are backed out, thereby removing them from the calculation of a Nebraska taxpayer’s adjusted gross income (AGI).

Supported by the https://www.soundmoneydefense.org/
, and in-state advocates, Nebraska’s sound money measure passed out of the unicameral legislature’s Revenue committee unanimously before being amended into a larger bill.

Sponsor Sen. Ben Hansen said upon news of the formal enactment of his legislation:

Gold and silver are the only forms of currency mentioned in our Constitution and with that comes the people’s ability to use it as such without penalty from the government. Saving, and using, gold and silver is our right and one of the only checks and balances to our federal government’s unending devaluation of our paper currency.

Taxpayers often realize ‘gains’ when converting the monetary metals back into Federal Reserve notes even though the ‘gains’ do not reflect an increase in real value but rather reflect the currency’s ongoing devaluation.

Despite the lack of “real” gains, the Internal Revenue Service imposes capital gains taxes on such transactions. Nebraska has now opted out at the state level, declining to carry the IRS’s position into the definition of Nebraska income.

Jp Cortez, executive director of the Sound Money Defense League, explained during his testimony before the Revenue Committee that the ferocious wave of inflation facing Nebraskans is largely caused by harmful actions of the Federal Reserve:

The state can take a different course and provide Nebraska citizens cleaner access to gold and silver ownership – and these metals are not only a proven inflation hedge but states all over the country are remonetizing constitutional sound money in the form of gold and silver.

Eleven other states already do not charge an income tax on sales of precious metals, with Arkansas, Arizona, and Utah recently enacting such laws. Meanwhile, Iowa, Georgia, Oklahoma, Missouri, West Virginia, and Kansas have been considering similar legislation in 2024.

“Investments in precious metals coins and bullion in Nebraska are now rightly exempt from both sales tax and income tax,” said Stefan Gleason, CEO of Money Metals and Chairman of the Sound Money Defense League.

Neutralizing Nebraska’s income tax treatment of the monetary metals removes significant disincentives in the Cornhusker State against the ownership and use of the monetary metals.

Meanwhile, LB 1317 revises the state’s formal definition of money by adding language that states: “Money does not include central bank digital currency.”

The new law defines central bank digital currency as “a digital medium of exchange, token, or monetary unit of account issued by the United States Federal Reserve System or any analogous federal agency that is made directly available to the consumer by such federal entities. Central bank digital currency (CBDC) includes a digital medium of exchange, token, or monetary unit of account so issued that is processed or validated directly by such federal entities.”

Sen. Hansen said: “I believe we have to be extra vigilant in our assessment and application of a Central bank digital currency to make sure they do not become a danger to our freedom. That’s why we defined in LB 1317 that CBDC’s are not classified as currency in Nebraska, which should help protect against unwarranted mandates for their use in the future.”

Versions of this “anti-CBDC language” have advanced or signed into law in https://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2024/04/to-the-governor-tennessee-bill-to-exclude-cbdc-from-the-definition-of-money/
.

In his testimony, Cortez discussed the potential risks of adopting a CBDC, including creating a greater ability to track all financial transactions, disallowing certain types of purchases, or even completely “turning off” a targeted individual’s access to money.

Nebraska joins https://www.moneymetals.com/news/2024/03/22/utah-greenlights-gold-and-silver-holdings-to-protect-state-reserve-funds-003069?utm_source=240424-MMX-NE&keycode=240424-MMX-NE&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=content
 as states to have enacted pro-sound money legislation into law so far in 2024.

Currently ranked 22nd in the https://www.moneymetals.com/resources/sound-money-index?utm_source=240424-MMX-NE&keycode=240424-MMX-NE&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=content

The All in Pod was a staple of the week for many of us.

When Chamath said stagflation wouldn’t happen a couple of years ago, his justification was that it couldn’t happen because he didn’t even know what stagflation meant.

People like Luke Gromen, James Lavish, Lyn Alden were consistently providing clearly researched work with explanations on macro without making claims with that kind of hubris.

Those doing the work were all Bitcoiners.

They’re the opposite of chamath and his ilk.  Jason too.  We daydream about having Bitcoiners buy the Knicks one day out of spite but that’s for another post.

What’s great about the group of Bitcoiners, is we’ve all had to admit that we were all kind of full of shit about what we knew about money.

That’s why we’re having fun.

People that can admit they were wrong are also capable at laughing at themselves and not taking themselves seriously.  These are genuinely fun and interesting people to be around.

All bias aside, they are special people and very rare.

Those that can’t admit when they’re wrong are consistently in a tailspin to avoid the inevitable ego death.  They turn into something weird then dark.

The next phase of FUD is these types of people getting behind the money transmitter definition change.  Be on the lookout and call it out as soon as you see it.

They will do anything to be able to say I told you so.  The changing of definitions is their saving grace from embarrassment and having to admit they were wrong. They most likely have VC money and political sway.

The fight you stage is here.  We have to be prepared and quick to act before team ego gets momentum.  They need Bitcoiners to be illegally transacting somehow or their ego death is certain.

ATTENTION CARNIVORES 🥩 : Nationally acclaimed Meat & Seafood Company Beck & Bulow is now accepting #Bitcoin onchain & Lightning payments both in store & online 🙌

They are accepting orders online & ship to all 50 states.

https://www.beckandbulow.com/

When I first found their butcher shop last summer, I asked to pay in BTC at checkout, because, on seeing the quality of their huge selection, I knew I would be ordering all my meat from them.

At the time, the team didn't have a good way to accept BTC, so...

we took a low-time preference approach.

Over the course of the next 8 months, the staff & I became good friends. I went to their carnivore meetup, we went shooting together, & I grabbed lunch with the owners to talk more about BTC infrastructure options for merchants.

Importantly, I never pressured them to do anything. We just kept the conversation rolling in person and over text. As time went on and BTC appreciated in price, their urgency grew.

Here is a testament to their conviction, they are not only accepting BTC, but...

#Bitcoin is now a cornerstone of their employee 401k plan. The company has committed to hold all payments made in BTC, online or in the store, indefinitely in cold storage.

Craziest of all, the company has put 20% of their treasury reserves into #Bitcoin 🤯

They began by selling meat door to door & at farmers' markets. A serendipitous series of events led to the co-founders acquiring a buffalo ranch in New Mexico.

Through proof of work their meats are now in over 1,000 restaurants & stores in New Mexico.

My challenge to you carnivores is to visit them online & give them a warm welcome to the #Bitcoin community by trying their amazing products!

"The myth that *all* information wants to be free is readily exploded by considering the value of information that constitutes a privileged pointer to a rivalrous good—a treasure map, say, or a Swiss bank account number, or a claim on services such as a computer account password." —Eric S. Raymond

generalizations, like models, are wrong. some are helpful.

Privacy content isn't dead.


What do you have?


I don't know about most users but I prefer they get it right.


We're hoping for a release next Friday, but it's possible it slips to the week after.

It's taking so long because it's critical that we do it right, and in a way where we know the least about the user.

We took the Hermes project from Kody from Fedi and rewrote it to fit our stack better and to create a blinded authentication layer over it. This shields the LNURL AUTH identity layer from additional services that might leak metadata about the user. With it, we can offer username registration, paid support tickets, etc. without knowing anything about the user except that they paid for the service.

Probably over engineered for what the average user cares about, but it shouldn't expose any additional friction points. But we'll be able to offer our subscribers more benefits over time while preserving privacy.

The first rollout will be lightning addresses for paid subscribers to test it out. Afterwards, things like anonymous embedded support tickets, and eventually random lightning address names for free users.

Peaky Blinders


To Bitcoiners responding to my opsec post with "If you're in public you must accept that someone will post pictures of you online without your consent".

No I don't have to accept that. Nobody has to. You don't have to either. If you post pictures of people without their consent, it doesn't matter if it's a public or a private event, or if it's legal in your jurisdiction or not. It all doesn't matter.

If you don't care about it, it simply means that you don't care about the privacy of others. It means you don't care about the other's right to decide whether Apple, Google, Meta, or X should be fed with their faces. It means that you're feeding surveillance systems with locations, biometric data, and the identities of Bitcoiners around you.

Nobody cares about what's legal. This is a moral question. A question of your own principles in a world of all-encompassing digital surveillance.

Reject surveillance, respect privacy, remember your cypherpunk manners.

I AM THE ALGORITHM


I noticed that most of the 100 push ups a day people are NOT former military and there is a reason.  The most common surgery for soldiers at about 5-15 years of service is rotator cuff surgery.

You want conditioning from push ups do one that takes you 1 full minute to complete.  Of do as many as you can with your lungs empty and do those slow as though you are doing heavy lifting on the bench, slow up and down.  Say 10 seconds down and up each.  5 Would take 50 minutes and you ain't starting out that high with empty lungs.

100 a day is a recipe for repetitive motion injuries.   People get carpal tunnel from using a mouse or splicing telecom cables, think about it.

I know this may attract hate but talk to any guy that spent time in the Army or Corps and just ask if they knew any guys that had shoulder surgery and why they had it.  I am not saying to not work out for the slow kids.  I am saying most fitness fads are generally not well thought out.

Coinbase 'Yellow Pages', A Public Database of Customer Names, On-Chain Addresses, Coming in 2024

Written by Rod Palmer
https://www.bugle.news/coinbase-releases/


About routers

Many times we emphasize the need to use operating systems and applications that respect our privacy, but we forget the most important thing, our home router.

The routers of the operators have announced backdoors, since the operator can access whenever he wants, no matter if you change the password, there are service users that can be used to reset it or anything else, and many times these service users are leaked on hacking websites and the operators do nothing to remedy it. Plus a lot of vulnerabilities, many of them exploited by crackers and intelligence services, which are also not patched.

There is no interest in remedying these problems, why? Because it is better to have the digital door of your home wide open, you know, if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about, you do not have to worry about criminals either...

To mitigate this, we have to stop using the carriers' router, not even using it in bridge mode. We have to get a router that supports open source firmware like OpenWRT, DD-WRT or Tomato.

It is a pain in the ass many times, because you will have to buy a router with an ONT that is compatible with your operator or if you want to be more versatile play with an external ONT, but you have no choice.

As an example a few years ago, I did not have fiber in my house (I am very Jewish) so I bought a directional antenna and started hacking my neighbors wifis, I hacked more than 50 wifis in just a few hours and a few more for fun, I was like that for years, I also performed maintenance on their routers, until I finally decided to hire a fiber service, because some bastard neighbor turned off my router on weekends.

So please, do not use the routers of the operators, they are a sieve.


What mode would you recommend for the average person?


When 10k? My friends are still waiting ever since I was suggesting they buy at 16k nostr:note14r7v303kdr6lgfy6nyp444j8yp3k642gge5addedegk79llsrzysfatpj0

If I am understanding this correctly it appears Satoshi was accounting for a blocksize increase eventually:

"To think about what a really huge transaction load would look like, I look at the existing credit card network.  I found some more estimates about how many transactions are online purchases.  It's about 15 million tx per day for the entire e-commerce load of the Internet worldwide.  At 1KB per transaction, that would be 15GB of bandwidth for each block generating node per day, or about two DVD movies worth.  Seems do-able even with today's technology.

Important to remember, even if Bitcoin caught on at dot-com rates of growth, it would still take years to become any substantial fraction of all transactions.  I believe hardware has already recently become strong enough to handle large scale, but if there's any doubt about that, bandwidth speeds, prices, disk space and computing power will be much greater by the time it's needed."

I would trust the Boltzmann Calculator. It's available on RoninDojo. It's unlikely that you remixed 6 times and have deterministic links. The single interpretation should be it's a coinjoin because it's very apparent. You're also benefiting from your mixing partners who stayed in the pool and are getting remixes.

Radicality

I have a more radical discourse on Bitcoin than all these Bitcoin influencers who really the only thing they are looking for is to live off Bitcoin through getting more followers on their social networks and you consuming their content, surely to get more FIAT and not Bitcoin.

I am not here to get followers or satoshis, I have my life more than solved, I do not need to create a youtube channel, or twitter accounts, or sell courses.

I am here to tell you that the fucking society deceives you, that every second you spend with your dirty FIAT is a second lost, stop with the stories, there is no time to lose or alternative to Bitcoin.

Have dignity and get rid of your FIAT money, because it's you or them, do you understand?

Start being selfish, you owe nothing to society.

Good things always arise from individualism, don't be foolish. You must be the first one interested in not being harmed, when you give this responsibility to a third party, that is to say to society, there is nothing left of you, you are just a piece of meat at the mercy of the decision of third parties.

How can you defend your family if you are not even capable of defending yourself? Do you understand? The defense in any area of life has to be born from individualism, from oneself.

Adopting Bitcoin must be born from individualism, from selfishness, from the need not to steal the fruits of one's labor.

And if you think there is time, you are very wrong. There is no alternative, either Yes or No, either Bitcoin or nothing.

And yes, my motive is selfish, I have many personal reasons to be against the system and I want to screw the system. Every person I get to embrace Bitcoin is a small victory for me and a small defeat for the system.

Long live Bitcoin and fuck the system.


I just hope they don't get rug before they get to the sizable amount.

Can NOSTR be used to coordinate social services for people experiencing homelessness? We sure think so.

We have an ongoing project at PathCheck to develop an entire Nostr-native collaborative case management tool for social services that focuses on the homeless community. The goal is to break the data silos each providing agency has and help medical and social personnel from separate organizations collaborate in the same "patient" record. We are actively looking for funders and supporters to start building the tool with our partners on the ground.

If you agree that the government won't solve this issue, this is your opportunity to get involved and prove that grass-roots movements can do better. Please consider a donation, like, share, and even volunteer to work with us. We have a small but dedicated team and boots on the ground to make a real impact.

As the fees go up, ppl realize that bitcoin base layer is only for wire-transfer-like economical transactions. Plebs will be priced out.

There is also a huge opportunity for bitcoin backed eCash affordable hardware as these are bearer tokens.

Will fedimints be the best practical option for plebs in the west to hold freedom money throughout the the near future, if the fee pressure continues to rise or is maintained in the few hundred Sats/vB range? I think a lot of people are struggling with the reality that their Bitcoin investment was based on an initial understanding, but they are now seeing its trajectory with a different perspective. This might explain why there is such a strong negative feeling toward the Fedimint and eCash topics.

A decade ago I was in my car at a stoplight, and there was a bunch of seagulls eating a discarded bag of fast food in the intersection.

When the light turned green, the car in front of me went slowly to give the seagulls a chance to fly away, but they didn't. Instead, the car's tire just slowly ran over a whole pile of seagulls, who just kept going after the fast food as they were run over. I just watched horrified as this played out.

Every once in a while, I just wonder why the seagulls never got out of the way despite how slow the threat was.

Same. I trust my Linux only desktop more. The lack of FDE or a user friendly solution would make it difficult for me to use daily. Apple hardware is fantastic. I'm definitely going to support and closely follow this project.


IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT PEOPLE ON TWITTER ARE FRUSTRATED THAT I TALK ABOUT NOSTR "TOO MUCH" ON RABBIT HOLE RECAP.

NOSTR WOULD BE A GREAT PROTOCOL FOR THEM TO VENT THAT FRUSTRATION. WILL MAKE SURE TO REMIND THEM NEXT WEEK.


Yes, MacOS is closed source. That doesn't necessarily mean that anything you do on top it doesn't change anything.

"No, Apple still controls the boot process and, for example, the firmware that runs on the Secure Enclave Processor. However, no modern device is “fully open” - no usable computer exists today with completely open software and hardware (as much as some companies want to market themselves as such). What ends up changing is where you draw the line between closed parts and open parts."

I've locked my Mac down with recommended guides focusing on privacy and security.


I'll probably wait until there is support for FDE and you can remove MacOS entirely.


That's me too. LFG.

RIP Alexei Navalny.

The US/UK should free Assange, free Ulbricht, pardon Snowden, and double-down on freedom as a contrast. They won't, but they should.

Russia is way more politically controlled and censored than their western counterparts, but if the western counterparts were smart they would emphasize this fact rather than lean more into being even half-like Russia.

Kudos to builders of various freedom tech.


Well, well, well.


I'm guessing, it's security if I want to use more Nostr apps other than Amethyst that support this. Is that all?


also, how to nostr privately. many people promote nostr as a privacy protocol, but the people say nostr relays can see your ip. it's not private. they have bots that expose your ip address etc. etc.

i feel these things could be addressed and made clearer, for better word of mouth


I keep seeing Logseq being mentioned. I've been using Standard Notes for so long but it looks interesting.

Life can only be lived dangerously—there is no other way to live it. It is only through danger that life attains to maturity, growth. One needs to be an adventurer, always ready to risk the known for the unknown. And once one has tasted the joys of freedom and fearlessness, one never repents because then one knows what it means to live at the optimum. Then one knows what it means to burn your life's torch from both ends together. And even a single moment of that intensity is more gratifying than the whole eternity of mediocre living.

Last night a very nice older couple came to the local meetup and started talking about crypto.

I explained (as patiently as I could) why bitcoin is the only blockchain. They were big crypto investors, but surprisingly receptive.

They had big hearts. Both had done a lot of missionary work in Africa and Latin America.

I mentioned that they should check out Alex Gladstein's work and I also recommended they check out Preston Pysh's podcast.

This morning I woke up and they had just published a podcast together about bitcoin in Africa.

If you are protecting your technology and your first thought isn't your mobile device then you are not going to make it. In my opinion mobile security is always my first priority.

What you use most should be the most important of all things you have to protect, for most, that is your phone. The technology you carry around with you on a day to day schedule has far more data worth something to a threat. Where ordinary people spend time more on their phone than they do a computer, a phone is the golden ticket to your life. Even if you have nothing of value to worry on compromise now, it doesn't mean that will not have something valuable later after further use.

Where a computer manages day to day work tasks, a phone often manages people's lives. They are an irreplaceable tool in society. Your communications, photos, videos, documents, online activity or possibly even your finances and identity are managed on portable devices.

The most promenant attack campaigns we know from world affairs involve targeting smartphones, some of the most expensive bounties for zero-days involve mobile software, and there are multiple industries whose main objectives are to find and attack smartphones. Threat actors love smartphones.

Protect what is most valuable.


I think there's definitely a big gap to get over when it comes to ecash innovation and why it's important as far as public perception goes.

It is entirely ironic that a large portion of the StackerNews community always seems against it, yet:
- SN users fully trust a single custodian
- SN fully sees their balances and transactions
- SN can unilaterally and selectively shut down accounts and balances
- The amounts on there are small enough to not make sense to use on chain or self-custodial LN

Yet there's way too much "Why would I ever use a mint, I hate custodians" logic in any thread that brings it up. 🤦♂

I've had a couple days to reflect on the Putin interview and watch how others have reacted to it.

This post may trigger some, but I have no control over how people choose to interpret what they read.

First, I will say Putin and Russia's military actions are reprehensible. I will never be an advocate for big government, war, or any sort of violence.

That being said I have not found a major point from the conversation that I disagree with. I am not an expert in European history so I can't comment on the accuracy of the first thirty minutes, but regarding the current global state of affairs, it seems Putin has a grasp on the reality of the situation. He seems to be exclusively focused on Russia's best interest and he resisted several opportunities to trash his opponents.

In comparison, the US has been screaming about Russia interfering in elections and blaming them for our inflation. Neither of these claims have been proven and the latter is completely ridiculous from a monetary policy perspective.

The arguments I have heard against Putin's position have largely been character attacks or appeals to emotion. Both are worth considering, but lack logos. So far I have not heard a logical rebuttal of his claims.

I would like to hear rational arguments against his position if anyone has some points to share.

I have no desire to argue Russia's position or any other nation. My primary interest has always been in fostering peace and a greater understanding of the world we live in.

Why a geodesic dome?

https://i.nostr.build/y289.jpg

Above all, we are crossing the building materials across a large river  using a Cataraft and we need our building to be light and easy to move to get it all the way to our building site.

Strength: Geodesic domes distribute stress throughout the structure, making them incredibly strong. The triangular elements of the dome work together to create a rigid framework that can withstand high winds, earthquakes, and heavy snow loads.

Material Efficiency: Geodesic domes use minimal materials compared to traditional structures of similar size. The triangular shapes efficiently distribute forces, allowing for the use of lighter materials while maintaining structural integrity.

Space Efficiency: Geodesic domes enclose a large volume of space with minimal surface area. This means they provide more usable space relative to the amount of material used in construction, making them efficient in terms of both space and materials.

Energy Efficiency: Due to their spherical shape, geodesic domes have minimal surface area exposed to the outside environment, reducing heat loss in cold climates and heat gain in hot climates. This can lead to lower heating and cooling costs compared to conventional structures.

Adaptability: Geodesic domes can be built in various sizes and configurations to suit different purposes, from small backyard greenhouses to large event spaces. Their modular nature allows for easy expansion or modification as needed.

Environmental Sustainability: The efficient use of materials, energy, and space in geodesic domes makes them environmentally friendly structures. Additionally, they can be constructed using sustainable materials and designed to incorporate renewable energy systems such as solar panels.

https://i.nostr.build/vALW.jpg

Overall, the combination of strength, material efficiency, space efficiency, energy efficiency, adaptability, and environmental sustainability makes geodesic domes one of the most efficient structural designs available.

I used to be in favor of asking merchants if they accept bitcoin in order to spread awareness, but that question is too loaded. I don't even want to pay for random stuff with bitcoin because of mempool fees, so why would I even ask?

Now I could ask if they accept lightning, but if they don't understand bitcoin, that's already a bridge foo far.

I could call it "bitcoin lightning" but that opens the semantic door to accepting "bitcoin X" as bitcoin, which includes bitcoin cash 🤮

Operating on lightning is cheap and easy with custodians, but it still requires a basic understanding of bitcoin which these people don't have.

So at this point, at 500+ sat/vb, it might be too late to orange pill random merchants in this way. Accepting bitcoin as a merchant does not make sense from a convenience or cost savings perspective. If a merchant accepts bitcoin, it is only because they understand it from a store of value perspective and they are willing to put up with it's rough edges in order to stack it.

Customers won't use bitcoin until they have to. Lightning demos are often quick and painless but I have had many slow and failing transactions. We've all experienced closed channels, unroutable payments, etc. Everybody chants about KYC-free bitcoin but normal people aren't gonna do that. And the current US tax implications for using bitcoin are extremely inconvenient.

Basically, bitcoin only works as a payment instrument for those who value it more than they value ths inconvenience of using it. And I think we should be realistic and recognized how incredibly inconvenient bitcoin is to understand, obtain, and use compared fo fiat. I feel like a competent bitcoin user, but I've studied it obsessively for 3+ years. This is a compliment to bitcoin's value, which is so immense that it compells us to overcome these hurdles and obstacles. But for anyone who isn't convinced, there is no way in hell they will prefer it to fiat. It just isn't going go happen until their fiat is worthless.

We underestimate how much time and effort we have put into understanding bitcoin. Merchants are by definition busy with 1000 other concerns and do not have the bandwidth to learn about an arcane and confusing payment system that one single customer requested. This is why we should be especially grateful for merchants who do get bitcoin and use it, like nostr:npub1v0tfjv5ahr3c260jtzdk5w48krerrnkg8fmcnc5lpguk0qda04eqzm3m3e

Of course, tools for bitcoin are improving all the time. This will get better. And the network effects of demand will make bitcoin more relevant, even without the eventual collapse of fiat.

But for now I remain convinced that everyone gets bitcoin for the price they deserve, and that includes merchants.

If we want to change this, we just have to keep building better tools.

I'm not saying we shouldn't try to orange pill people. Coming at this from store-of-value versus inflation is probably the strongest argument these days.


I need an account to use your browser extension.


The most effective way to orange pill society is to produce something that society wants, and demand Bitcoin as payment.

This forces people to study Bitcoin and figure out how to access it.

Team Fiat is producing iPhones, cars, air travel, houses, etc. It's impossible to access without having fiat in the loop.

This is creates demand for access to fiat.

What is Team Bitcoin producing? What products and services are *impossible* to acquire without having Bitcoin in the loop?

What products and services are we producing to drive the demand for access to our magic internet  money?


There are too many red flags for me. I forgot to mention their problem with address reuse.  I don't have a personal stake in this. I want the best Bitcoin privacy tools and as many as can be created.

99% of actual monetary exchanges on Nostr whether it be donation or services happen due to the following reasons:
- People are pressured into doing X, and they try to cheap out as much as possible
- People want to be cool or want the feeling of having done something good

Damus Purple for example, I think a lot of the purchases were motivated by the fact that people wanted the cool number and wanted to be able to say "I donated", which is unfortunate because this means people don't truly care about paying for what you use. People that wanted to donate would have already done so via some other method.

And using paid relays as an example, people feel pressured into getting them, they don't truly understand why they matter instead being told stuff like "you need one to not see spam" and try to cheap out since they don't really know why they need one themselves.

GOOD MORNING NOSTR, I REMAIN INCREDIBLY IMPRESSED BY HOW RAPID NOSTR DEVELOPMENT IS UNFOLDING, GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME, PATIENCE 🫡


After my talk on Bitcoin and Psychedelics at the Bitcoin Freedom Festival someone asked me where I see the connection between the two topics.

The symbiotic nature of bitcoin and psychedelics has always been intuitive to me so I didn't have a great answer at the time.

At the surface level the two topics have nothing to do with each other, but at their core the psychedelic movement and the bitcoin movement have an ethos of sovereignty, liberation, and peace.

Any topic can be related to bitcoin. I just happen to think these are two parallel emerging paradigm shifts will amplify and bolster each other.

Hippies in the 1960s saw what was happening in Vietnam and wanted to divest from unnecessary political/commercial violence.

Bitcoiners in the 2020s see what the military industrial complex is doing and want to divest from the monetary debasement which funds unnecessary political/commercial violence.

Inflation pays for wars, not taxes.

Bitcoiners know this. The hippies didn't. They thought that if they exited the system and opened their hearts they could change the world, but without a structural shift in the fabric of society the movement was ultimately a failure and the wars continued..

Now that the Byzantine general's problem has been solved we have a the coordination mechanism to starve the fiat matrix and end a vast majority of armed conflict across the planet.


I recently found this channel and I've been binge watching. I'm looking for other recommendations too.

This subject and the Samourai vs. Wasabi debate are huge headaches. I think you nailed it. People don't read or study. There is a lot of parrot behavior.

Please let's not start saying that ecash is self-custodial. It is not.

You hold the ecash, we get it. The ecash part is non-custodial, ok. It's been thought of that way since the 80s. It's fine to think that way if you're literally the central bank and the ecash you issue IS THE MONEY AND NOT A REPRESENTATION OF AN UNDERLYING ASSET – only a central bank can do this. Repeat with me: Only a central bank can do this.
Ecash today is a representative of an underlying asset. In Cashu and Fedimint that's BTC. You give up control over that underlying asset. You measure everything in terms of that underlying asset. It is all about the underlying asset. You have NO GUARANTEE WHATSOEVER TO REDEEM THAT UNDERLYING ASSET BACK – ecash systems the way we are building them today ARE CUSTODIAL – please don't make things more complicated than they need to be. Please do not manipulate language and especially, do not confuse noobs who are still learning. I almost want to say that a framing like this irresponsible.

What are you going to say to the noob who wants their Bitcoin back but the federation broke down during an update and the database got completely rekt? How is that non-custidal or self-custodial or whatever the opposite of custodial is.

With all due respect, this is a bad take.

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

Genuine question - do Fedimints natively reveal the parties which control the keys of the multisig?

I think especially in the early days there could be problems where people believe that there are 12 separate entities signing and not collaborating, but it’s actually a single group with 12 keys. Similar to how the ETH premine claimed to be distributed but it was just a few people masking their identities.

You could try Tails right now if you have a spare USB. It's really not difficult to adjust to. The popular Linux distros are close to the ease of use of the mainstream closed source alternatives.


Fedora is on the cutting edge. Qubes isn't technically Linux but that's probably where you want to look. nostr:npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka could probably give you some more insight.


Ubuntu, Pop OS, or Fedora since there will be plenty of docs or people to help you.


I agree. I use https://github.com/deckerst/aves


I've been on Graphene for years and I regret not doing it sooner. Knowledge is power.

Your book of quotes is growing.


Occurred to me today things fall into place if you simply remove the concepts that are cluttering your understanding.

Once you understand fiat finance, fiat food, fiat medicine and fiat politics, you simply remove the false notions derived therefrom, apply your clear-headed understanding straightforwardly over time.

Saving in an uninflatable currency, eating real food, avoiding the medical system, avoiding scams, getting sun. It sounds too simple, but it’s just basic straightforward application of truth plus time.

There is nothing really to it except unlearning bullshit, observing what’s in front of your face and sticking with it.


If you've ever used (and specifically preferred) to use cash for in person transactions, but you have a problem with ecash, why? You trust the government that much more than your community?

There is a difference between fedi, fedimints, cashu, and ecash mints. They are related in some ways but can be confusing.

I think the Q1 is more of a luxury because of the QWERTY keyboard. I would buy it if it's available and the price isn't a problem. Maybe it will have a longer supported life. The Mk4 is my most trusted option. SeedSigner is good but it doesn't store your seed. Jade was kind of buggy with Green but it works.


Get the newest Coldcard, put your seed on quality metal, and spend your time learning how to use it.


I've seen the spring break multiple times.


I sleep great because I use dedicated Bitcoin hardware and follow the latest information  in security . I recommend listening to Citadel Dispatch, Rabbit Hole Recap, and Bitcoin.review podcasts.
