Now that Bitcoin is about to go mainstream we see this. Interesting.

I remember back in 2020 and 2021 on multiple sub reddits they would post bitcoin energy use doom articles every week. Thousands of upvotes and comments screeching about it boiling the oceans. I wonder if this will make its way to any of those subs?

That place is a commie hellhole and I haven’t been on the site in years. But this will devastate some retard lefties there.

#Bitcoin necessitates self-improvement. Probably an unintended externality of this thing that Satoshi didn’t expect. And probably one of the most important aspects of Bitcoin too.

Yes.


Yeah it’s like using a better version of FedWire with no permission. It’s absolutely crazy to me. In 20 years we’ll still have UTXOs and be able to TX when a lot of block space will be dominated by huge companies and governments.


Consolidated some UTXOs earlier and Sparrow blows my mind every time I use it. And signing with an MK4 👌 that setup feels like the culmination of 15 years of open source development on and around Bitcoin.

Do you get pumped when you have a reason to use #Bitcoin too? I get legit excited. Base layer TXs feel like something major and ultra-important and I can use the Network at any time, however I see fit, with no permission / trust. Just too cool.

Interesting ideas.

I personally feel that all sat stackers are slowly defunding legacy systems and pouring our energy into a new, sovereign system. It’s akin to attrition warfare.

Global open source devs are creating solutions much faster and in forms than the establishment can really fathom. That may be the guerrilla element of this war. We can hide and move our capital and our data and communicate as needed and all of this effectively exists everywhere and nowhere. Death by a hundred million cuts.


No way to completely mitigate life’s myriad risks! Gotta accept that.


Using #Bitcoin #Lightning & #Nostr on a regular basis creates an entirely different digital reality. I feel a decade ahead of wEb2 and legacy finance.


Marx philosophy is the equivalent to an engineer writing a manual where he chastises physics and creates an alternate engineering philosophy where the gravitational constant isn’t considered in calcs. It’s just magical thinking nonsense.

Central banks are violently socialist organizations.

A ruling class decides how much wealth they will expropriate from the productive class (money supply creation) and redistributes it as they see fit.

There can be no real undistorted free market activity when central banks exist.

By succeeding, #Bitcoin simultaneously destroys central banking monopolies and provides an alternative to their tyranny for anyone with a computer connected to the internet. Hard to overstate how important this is.

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised to see 2-5 more countries officially adopt Bitcoin in some capacity by 2025.

I agree with your last point, most people don’t make a change unless they’re forced by external circumstances. As US dollar failure accelerations, so too will Bitcoin adoption.

Think the dollar in its current form makes it past 2040? I’m doubtful.


Is there anything I can do to help?


I’m not technical and I was able to setup and fund a LN node via Zeus an afternoon. Not knowing anything about it going in. Things are farther along than you think, I think.


These aggressions against non-KYC services are waaaay too little, far too late. There is absolutely no way to stop this movement. Will be hilarious to watch the establishment fail miserably and give up.

Yes 🫡


Yeah I got them. Thank you kindly 🙏


I’m too regarded. Non-technical. I’ve talked at length with a senior dev who has run LN nodes and he said it’s a challenge for even him. Just out of my depth.


Haha ya win some, ya lose some. Or as Ray from Trailer Park Boys once eloquently said: “that’s the way she goes.”


You’re doing really interesting work and providing real value. Happy to support. Keep it up.


Lol god damn it I just set up a channel on ZeusPay @ 35,000 sat fee last night.


nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 Pay is expensive to set up, somewhat buggy, struggles hard to send zaps (using Phoenix to send) and zaps received are taxed pretty hard but it works and is a self-custodial LN solution that’s operational on mobile.

I have hope these issues will be refined over time. For now it’s a good option.

What does #asknostr  / #plebchain think about converting UTXOs from Segwit to Taproot format? Is it worthwhile to upgrade cold storage addresses to P2TR? Or waste of sats.


It was enabled but I changed from cheapest fee to fastest fee. Still taking awhile for each zap to send.


Update: payment timed out. Not sure why. I’ve been able to successfully send other zaps from ZeusPay tonight so not sure if it’s a problem on my end or yours…


Just zapped you from my own ZeusPay node. Feels good man™


For those looking for a self-custodial LN wallet solution. ZeusPay explained.

Absolutely great work by corndo today helping me get ZeusPay set up and working with Damus. Love this place.


It’s fun to tinker but not that straightforward. I’m getting a prompt that reads “invalid nostr wallet connection string” when I try to paste my Zeus Pay Lightning address in the wallet setting on Damus. Any idea where I’m going wrong?


Awful


Wow! Thank you for that awesome answer. I learned a ton today and I’m v okay with the trade off of higher fees for self-custodial LN sends and receives. This has been fun tinkering first with Phoenix now with Zeus Pay. I’m going to fund a channel on ZP tonight, try to get familiar with the application and get it all linked up with Damus.

One other question about ZeusPay, I see the channel fee for a Lightning payment channel fund but there is no fee indicated when I selected on-chain. Will an on-chain deposit create a channel and will the fee be different for funding on-chain vs funding with an LN payment? 🙏🧡


So I see they’re charging 35,000 Sats for LSP setup if I send via LN. If I send on chain will I skip that fee?


So is the Zeus embedded LND node a similar architecture to Phoenix but with send and receive capabilities? Do I simply fund the node and its operational? Trying to understand what I’m using as a noob / non-technical.


For visibility nostr:note1sm3ncu8fgky2cmxavavf6lx5fjnkj6sea0xjrv49cx37452y7rqq4q89kj


So much thanks 🙏


Nice, thank you. Do I need a beta TestFlight invite? I downloaded Zeus today and was playing around with it but saw no way to link my Phoenix node to Zeus.


Is there a non-custodial iOS solution that enables both LN send and receive capabilities? What is the deal with Mutiny? Just saw there post about shipping for iOS but I’m not sure what their value prop is.


Guess I’ll keep sending sats from Phoenix and receiving in WoS.


That sucks. Thanks for the answers.


Thank you.

Can I connect my Phoenix node to @ZEUS so I have an LN receive address too?


#asknostr can I receive zaps using a Phoenix node / channel?

I am using #Damus client.

I switched my “zap” setting from WoS to Phoenix and zaps come out of my Phoenix node but I’m still receiving zaps to my WoS. Not sure why.


Perfect 👌 can’t wait.


Mempool will make it expensive to open a channel right now. Not impossible but will cost >15k Sats rn


#Bitcoin in cold storage offers so much future economic optionality.

I think a website where life-stories could be self-published and exist in perpetuity would be really cool - call it “gone but not forgotten.”

I think it would make a lot of people feel better having a record of their life story with some pictures. Everyone wants to leave something behind. And I think it would be a very interesting place to read about others struggles and triumphs. The senior center actually spurred this idea!

I’ve had this idea for a long time but not sure how to pull it off. Maybe crowdsourced / donation based. Bitcoin keeps appreciating so I think sats could go a long way in keeping something like this alive for a long time.


100%. I’m still lucky enough to spend a lot of time with my maternal Grandma and I get a lot of cool stories from her. I make sure to ask a lot of questions. Amazing how much some people can accomplish in 85 years on earth. Always inspirational.


That’s a very cool thing to do.

I used to work in a senior center and I heard some really interesting life stories from some of the residents. There was a nation champion collegiate wrestler there, several WWII vets, A Korean War vet, someone had visited Mt. St. Helen’s the day before it erupted, one resident recalled being brought to a public hanging as a child. It was a window into bygone eras.

Bro this is the most American dream™ photo in existence


😂🤣

I knew that surgical masks were engineered for large droplet bacterial containment for surgeons. And I immediately knew they’d do nothing v viruses which are >10x smaller.

Covid was the hardest time in my life as a rational person. It was a years long episode of the twilight zone.

Thank fuck for the internet during that time. I dug into the scientific realities of all these issues and of course none of the mandates were credible or evidence based. The “masks don’t work” article by Denis Rancourt was a huge help, especially the RCTs he linked.

Healthcare had been testing masks in hospitals for two decades and every high-quality study showed masks had no statistically significant impact on infection or transmission of respiratory viruses. They always knew. I found this info the first month or two of Covid and knew the entire time. Got banned from Reddit on multiple accounts for linking studies that supported this 😂

Eventually found guys like Jon Ioanidis, Jay Battacharia, Michael Levit, Dr. Robert, Malone, Peter McCullough, Vinay Parasad, John Campbell. They were the only shred of sanity I had in that dark, dark time. Really wish #Nostr was around then….


Nice!


100% on both issues.

I have been thinking of it similarly to you; the stupid / malleable / lazy people are being corralled and the free / curious / disciplined first principle thinkers are self selecting into a much more powerful group. Things like Bitcoin and Nostr are the new Schelling point for sovereign people. It’s actually amazing.


It’s a great visual 😂

“Healthcare” is the first place that should analyze the data and acknowledge masks objectively don’t prevent infection or transmission and the Covid shots are killing and maiming people at unprecedented rates. Instead they triple down. That’s what happens when the pharmaceutical industrial complex captures its lackeys.

So being a curious seeker I’ve learned:

•Vegetables are low-grade toxic and completely full of natural pesticides and carcinogens

•Red meat is the healthiest human food

•Diets high in animals fats are required for optimal health and not in the least detrimental

•Sugar and refined carbs are toxic and addictive and they’re creating the most unhealthy per capita populations in human history and the US government still officially recommends the majority of daily calories come from these sources

•Seed oils are toxic industrial waste and were rebranded as “omega 6s” and now put in >50% of grocery store items

•Municipal water is purposely “treated” with known poisons

•Plastics that touch most of our food leech hormone disrupting compounds that screw up physiology and fertility

•Vaccines that we’re all told are required to stay alive and get as newborns are full of highly toxic heavy metals in dangerous levels

I’ve worked hard to figure out this information and verify it from credible sources / data / multiple data points but god damn does it ever make me see the world different.

Hard to imagine the people who control the resources and information at the highest levels don’t want us all compromised, seeking pharmaceuticals, and dying early. Really hard not to come to that conclusion…

Rules of the game stay the same regardless of the country. More regulation = more dysfunction.

Hoping Argentina via Milei deregulates and gets rid of capital controls. And I hope the same happens in every county. But that nation just elected someone who ran on those stated goals.

Let’s see if he’s a man of his word, LFG


Lol yes 2008. That was when the kids were celebrating and that’s the year he won brand of the year. Damn, it’s been awhile!


Bangin!


Man I’m in disbelief it went the way it did.

Remember when Obama won and all the kids were running around in the liberal city streets celebrating?😂😂

Obama was such an establishment tool. His admin won brand of year in 2012 🤣


Definitely imparts a superior flavor 🥩
What’d you cook my bro?


A successful and honest #Milei admin would:

➡ Shutter Argentina’s central bank and discontinue their peso shitcoin

➡ Remove all capital controls including capital gains

➡ Deregulate industries so that markets can function as needed

➡ Slash government spending / jobs / oversight

Really this is the playbook to right-the-ship everywhere. If Milei does some or (hopefully) all of this it will set a precedent and example for other countries who have gone the opposite direction, with disastrous consequences.

The new trend is get out of the commie-gutter. #Bitcoin was the missing piece of the puzzle and the neutral / global / secure / decentralized money needed to start the trend.

Rooting for #Argentina to set a precedent 🇦🇷


+1

If he makes good on his word he is the .01% leadership that is liberty oriented and really trying to allow markets to make decisions. If not, another turd in the septic tank.


Can’t believe it. Let’s see if he can stick around first then if he makes good on his word.


NICE


Removing capital controls (if he does this) allows people to make real economical changes in their lives.


Milei is on record saying he doesn’t care what people use as money, that’s it’s a market good, and under his policy he will allow people to use whatever money they prefer - no restrictions.

He is against central banks though and has claimed he will shutter the Argentinian central bank.

Let’s see if he makes good on his words.


AnCap Austin Powers is a signal that the globalists can’t control everything and that people are fed up with these insane commie policies that have been destroying civilizations for decades.

I think high fee environment is a positive. Shows that miners can easily survive with no block reward in the future and it forces people face this reality eg open channels, consolidate UTXOs, be more strategic with TXs

That actually might be the case. I can’t say for sure but I would be nervous to say for sure it wasn’t in some way doxxed. The surveillance state is hardcore.

Sometimes I think how I’d give anything to the see life and habitats of a different earth-like planet way out in the cosmos. Then I realize I’m already on this unfathomably robust planet and I have the supreme privilege of experiencing this place everyday; deep in the cosmos doing such amazing things 🌍🤯💕 #grownostr


Hi there welcome to #Nostr! Since you’re new to the space I’d recommend a couple short videos by nostr:npub1s33sw6y2p8kpz2t8avz5feu2n6yvfr6swykrnm2frletd7spnt5qew252p I linked below. Also highly recommend going through his channel catalog for a wealth of high-signal info about #Bitcoin

The more you study Bitcoin the more you’ll learn that “crypto” and “web3” are scams. My advice is study / accumulate / use Bitcoin until you really understand why the rest of “crypto” is a hollow scam designed to take Bitcoin from the uninformed.


Buying non-KYC with any KYC service is a dox of that UTXO imo


Hash rate smashed through 600 EH/s this morning and topped out at 610 EH/s!

I had predicted a couple weeks ago the mad dash for these last 6.25 BTC block rewards would push hash rate past 600 EH/s but didn’t expect it so soon.

Makes me wonder if nation states have rushed to build hashing infrastructure and are trying their hardest to stack before the halving. Possibly using state-owned hydro energy at scale.

Things are getting very interesting. #Bitcoin game theory is endlessly fascinating #hashstr


It’s the most fiat situation. Obviously, unequivocally, prices falling are good for consumers. So CNN has to write a front page article to gaslight all the malleable suckers as to why prices “falling” is somehow a bad thing. When fundamentally prices are not even falling. Unbelievable.


Two lies, one headline.

Inflation is cumulative and deflation is a force for good when it’s not stifled by garbage inflationary base money.

There is no way to know with certainty about one’s future. But there is a good likelihood I will be around for decades to come. And in that time I feel a sat will trend toward and eventually exceed parity with the purchasing power of a U.S. cent.

I feel comfortable saving for those times and do not skimp on my current life to do that. I buy everything I need and some things I want. I drive a nice vehicle, I go on trips, I have appliances I value and sometimes splurge on other “wants” as well. I think balance is key and I know what works for me.


Oh yeah if these people studied Bitcoin and Austrian economics like they did fantasy football the U.S. would’ve hyperbitcoinized already 🤣It’s so insane.


Did you catch the game last night though???


Holy shit man…


Daaaamn the last mad dash to win 6.25 BTC block rewards before the halving. This is insane. Wonder if nation states are in on the action. Difficulty just keeps going up.


At one point I a paid a very technical person on Reddit to answer all my questions. It wasn’t much and it was my offer to pay, and they answered all my dumb questions very thoroughly. But I was literally like “I want to pay you for your time and expertise and so I don’t feel bad asking you all these stupid questions.” 😂


I’ll never forget the day someone explained properly to me what a UTXO is. Everything started to make much more sense.


Can’t believe how far I’ve come in my understanding and mastery of #Bitcoin in just 4 years.

I had / have no mentors and knew not one Bitcoiner when I started. Just a healthy curiosity and since beginning I have never stopped learning, reading, listening and experimenting with this technology.

The key to any quest is sustained effort 🔑

Wanted to give an update on my experience with nostr:npub18tcc00lqpysdsurg567dllzg7jeyr5wcyk2v6w23rx3s3ygyze2qv32nxx

Lightning withdrawals are working.

The issue I had was the result of attempting an LN withdrawal to Muun in a high fee environment. Withdrawal to Muun had worked previously but fees got too high recently and payment was failing as a result. Withdrew to an LN native wallet and things worked perfectly.

The other issue I’m having is buying with a credit card but this has been addressed - it’s an internal issue with the card processor. Legacy permissioned BS.

Buying bitcoin low fee and using LN from exchange (River / CashApp) to buy gift cards from The Bitcoin Company does net 2-7% sats back from a lot of retailers. It’s a cool hack. Albertsons / Safeway, REI, Lowe’s, Auto Zone, Hotels.com, CoinKite, Petco. The list goes on. It’s worth the effort if you’re going to be spending the fiat anyways.

Not being paid for this just sharing my experiences / thoughts.

It’s a nice concise guide, thank you. I’m curious if you know if Phoenix is one UTXO = one channel or if with splicing I can add multiple UTXOs and they’re cumulative to one channel?

I’m waiting for mempool to chill before I open a channel on Phoenix but I’m trying to strategize before doing so.


Hahaha I’m not hip on the latest psyop it used to all the pissed off peasants would blame capitalism. This was before the major spurt of inflation that started late 2021


Sick! Thank you so much fren 🙏


Yeah they know they’re getting fucked but can’t figure out how. The best common answer is cApItALiSm


I’ve been trying to zap you but my spends are queuing in WoS not sure why. Hopefully they all go through. I think the issue is with WoS and not your wallet.


Exactly what I want. Is channel funding cumulative? Meaning I could send a few smaller UTXOs and it would add up to my total spend balance or is each UTXO it’s own channel?


I see, thank you for that explanation. When mempool chills I’m going to fund a fat channel w Phoenix so I have the capability in a non-custodial way. I don’t really need a LN address at the moment but still good to know the tech exists.


What is the difference between Zeus and Phoenix?


Perfect angel 🐶


Going to fund a channel on Phoenix when mempool chills and use that as my LN tx wallet from now on. Muun pseudo LN is unusable in a high fee environment.

Tail risk with work arounds and game theory that makes it an improbable scenario. But imo it’s not a existential threat.

I’m not arguing to be complacent, but either way, there is nothing I can do personally. I think the open Network will find ways to get stronger and solve for more tail risks over time as it’s shown to do effectively over time. I know the best minds in the world are actually working on mitigating these low-probability problems but this is v low probability in my opinion.


It would also be an ineffective strategy by censoring govt as ≈50% of blocks wouldn’t be in censorship pools. So the blacklisted addresses wouldn’t be reliably censored and the pools who complied would surely be committing suicide by compiling. It’s not going to happen.


I don’t believe much if any of the hash would stay in any pool if the were openly censoring txs for any government. No chance.


Complying with KYC isn’t remotely close to participating in a Government orchestrated take over / 51% attack. You’re committing a slippery slope fallacy.


They wouldn’t participate in an attack on their source of revenue. Simple game theory.


It’s a coping mechanism for being unable to adapt. Pretend everything is fine and just hope things work out. Path of least resistance NPCs but hey did you catch the sport ball game last night?


How fast would the majority of hash be redirected if the Gubment made decrees on those pools? Literally within hours. It’s kind of silly. This hash isn’t locked in a pool. It’s just pointing there rn. Can very easily be moved or taken off line. Pool members aren’t keen on being part of a censorship-friendly pool or a pool that would attempt a 51% attack, period. It’s a silly gripe.


Anthropogenic climate change is laughable propaganda for anyone who knows just a little about earth’s climate history.

Isotopic proxy data demonstrates past climate realties with 99%+ accuracy. There have been hundreds of warming periods in the last 100,000 years (all of which humans were an active species) that were greater (in amplitude and rate of change) vs. current warming trends.

Atmospheric co2 on earth has been much higher in long stretches of deep history but as prominent physicists have shown, co2 has a very low warming coefficient. It is NOT responsible for warming, as hundred of more recent warming cycles had absolutely zero correlation with co2 levels. Thoroughly disproving the dead hypothesis: co2 = significant warming of earth.

Humans are introducing co2 into earth’s atmosphere but it’s a separate issue from warming entirely as climate data and physics clearly demonstrates. Co2 ≠ warming - the science is clear here.

The small anthropogenic increase in earth’s atmospheric co2 levels is actually greening the planet at rates never seen in recorded history.

Higher concentrations of co2 result in plants growing faster and creating more biomass with lower water requirements. Deserts are greening at unprecedented rates around the edges, forests are recovering faster than ever and farmers are able to get better yields per square meter all over the world (given proper ag. practices otherwise).

These are the facts; I stay strapped with em’. https://image.nostr.build/a7bf5f09c1ec271a8132cef05680384b8a928f7874690048cb1149505aa94593.jpg

Regardless, I appreciate every sat zapped my way. The #Nostr is the best.


nostr:npub1xkere5pd94672h8w8r77uf4ustcazhfujkqgqzcykrdzakm4zl4qeud0en I love your service but why the 6-20 day withdrawal wait? It’s brutal.


Got you, sorry I didn’t read that reply well enough. Thanks for the good support and I’m looking forward to getting in a groove with your service.

Opening a channel with Phoenix when fees subside and I bought $500 in bitcoin on River (lowest fees) to spend on gift cards. Unfortunately I have to wait 6-20 days to withdraw.


I did get the LN withdrawal to work and the issue was I was attempting to withdraw to Muun which isn’t LN functional in a high fee environment. So that was my fault and I was able to successfully withdraw to a LN native wallet shortly thereafter.

Credit card purchases still aren’t working for me though I just tried.


I went on a crazy adventure for this 1887 Double Florin in #Glasgow a few years back. I always try to find non-fungible silver as a souvenir.

Does Phoenix have an npub?


Another #asknostr inquiry:

How does Phoenix Wallet work?

I send them a UTXO and they lock it in a smart contract and enable me LN liquidity on one of their channels? But I hold keys and can withdraw funds on chain at any time? Is it actually a non-custodial model? What am I missing?

Most major elements of modern society have proven to be completely corrupted - food, money, healthcare, “the news™”, politics.

It’s interesting how the corruption has forced large swaths of humanity to start handling and addressing their own issues instead of relying on daddy establishment for “guidance” and “help”.

Millions are now trusting their own conclusions when it comes to diet (which is also healthcare), money, and current events. This counter-trend is growing in strength and energy with the internet as a crucial substrate for independent information and communication.

This is a supremely promising trend. #Bitcoin and #Nostr are front and center in the directional shift. These protocols will be necessary for the Free Humans in the next phase, the “then they fite u.” phase.

Opendimes and sats cards are expensive. I think typically 10k sats can move just fine on chain but the low amount could also be seen as a feature.

It’s not enough for someone to go through the trouble of messing with it but introduction to the Network may pique their interest. And with a simple setup like Muun they can access Lightning adjacent non-custodial TX capabilities or just hodl the sats and watch as purchasing power grows. Which is what I will explain is Bitcoin’s best use case on the tip sheet.

Maybe I’ll bump to 20k sats too ≈$3.50 isn’t enough to cover a tip anymore anyway.


Aight air reply to my own post but maybe I’ll start making a bunch of seed phrases that control ≈10k sat UTXOs with a wallet recommendation and instructions on seed phrase recovery + a short #Bitcoin 101 to leave as tips.

I’ll mock something up and post when I print them out. Not tipping in fiat anymore. Bros I think this is the way.

Highly recommend traveling the American west brother. I’ve spent months on the road exploring the western states. I’m a huge fan of northern AZ and central / southern Utah. Hit me up when you’re planning a trip I’ll give you some good spots I’ve found in my travels.

I’m really interested in New Mexico and think I’ll make it over there for a few weeks early next fall.

Nice! I’m in a similar position. I’ve been hustling really hard and stacking maximally for many years now. I have a year or two left before I can (if the stars align) retire and just homestead and do whatever I want.

I still don’t really understand $prism but things are happening and I got some sats. nostr:note12w84m50kwcd5p9hpc2p3v5dgk5z48l62eh2dkdmwv5eg3854cyuqvvagx5


Max pain as in sats become very expensive and hard to procure?


I completely quit sugar and carbs and the satisfaction I get from being disciplined when I’m in a bakery or coffee shop far outweighs the fleeting pleasure I’d get from eating the trash. People just can’t believe I prefer staying sharp to indulging but it’s not a hard decision for me.


All these #Bitcoin Layer 2 and Layer 3 apps are interoperable, permission-less and work 24/7.

Sunday night instant and (effectively) free micro TXs from my phone, between disparate organizations who’ve done zero coordination, are in different countries / continents / time zones and don’t even know each other exist in most cases. It’s truly magic.

Tradfi is utter garbage in comparison. They’re all DONE 💀

Okay #airreply to my own post early regarding nostr:npub18tcc00lqpysdsurg567dllzg7jeyr5wcyk2v6w23rx3s3ygyze2qv32nxx

There have been developments.

I can use my credit card to harvest the cash back I get from that plus 1-3% sat back deals buying gift cards from the Bitcoin Company and I never have to touch Bitcoin.

First LN withdrawal worked perfectly. Waiting on limit increase request to see how scalable the free-sat machine is.

If you buy gift cards with #Bitcoin the sat back percentages are about 2x higher (vs buying with a card) on average.

So if you can buy Bitcoin on the cheap like from nostr:npub1xkere5pd94672h8w8r77uf4ustcazhfujkqgqzcykrdzakm4zl4qeud0en and you start buying everything with gift cards, then you’ll start to get a lot of sats back each month, limit pending.

As a frugal stacker this rules. I have no affiliation with The Bitcoin Company I just like free sats and things that work well.

Fully agreed


The nostr:npub18tcc00lqpysdsurg567dllzg7jeyr5wcyk2v6w23rx3s3ygyze2qv32nxx provides a great service. Diligent spending through their platform yields better returns than credit card rewards and it’s paid in sats back. Worth the small extra friction imo.


Always sad to lose a good chicken or any member of the farm. I still think about this great little mini chicken we had at my dads farm called “princess puffball”. She was so sweet and one day a hawk got her. It sucked and I still miss the little sweet bird.

That’s why it’s so powerful.

The meme is making fun of that severe retard Dave Ramsey who recently said “some nerd can just turn off Bitcoin”


There is no “we” and no one can stop any other individual, institution or government from using an open protocol.

If you (or anyone) could stop Blackrock from using #Bitcoin in any way it wouldn’t be decentralized or open - two critical properties of the protocol.

This is an inevitable part of global adoption. Remain self-sovereign and advise others to do the same. Remember and practice Dichotomy of Control.

#ignoretaxes too


Thanks brethren!


Fees are part of the incentives of course. There won’t always be a block reward.

Layer 2 / 3 will be the answer for fast /  cheap TXs at scale.


Economic incentive. Hashing blocks and all its downstream effects (enforcing rules of the protocol, security, maintaining the ledger) must have an incentive. Fees are fair and necessary.


All that is real and all that really matters is The Now. The present.

But…

The future will continually become the present. The closer that projected future, the higher the likelihood You will end up experiencing it.

Therefore, planning for the future is worth some degree of time / energy / delayed gratification in The Now.

You know it. They want medicated zombies.


In my opinion women are much less sure of themselves and I think this impacts their ability to even attempt to build skills.

Women are also the limiting sex and so they are sought after and often times taken care of, which again, hinders the necessity for skill building.

Women in my opinion are much more prone to societal influence (per capita basis) and so they are disproportionately impacted by propaganda (advertisements / pop culture) and become hyper-fixated on their appearance and material goods. That fixation inward takes a lot of energy from skill building and aspirations beyond self-appearances.

There are obliviously exceptions to all of these speculative observations. But I think all do hold true more often than not in my experience.


Same. The result is alienation. But I’d rather maintain my integrity.


I could speculate but I don’t know.


Why aren’t there nearly as many women who’ve adopted #Bitcoin as compared to men?


Normies will eat toxic food, drink poisoned municipal water and take any drugs their doctors tells them to explicitly because they DON’T believe in “conspiracy theories”.

Yep, it’s the most readily available way to create excuses, scares and potentially a false flag.

I personally think there is a good chance in the next 5 years the US deep state will execute a massive cyberattack on financial giants to usher in their own CBDC coupled with a massive print and as a pretext to gate internet traffic.

Drain funds from JP Morgan (or the like), have the president say old monetary systems just aren’t safe anymore, have the “better” CBDC solution ready, print trillions to make depositors whole and air drop to “adopters” (devalue untenable US debt) and gain a lot more control in the process. I can see it happening.

I chose the distiller bc I don’t like all the plastic / filter component exposure of RO systems, which provide a similar-ish level of water purity.


I’m not sure about loss there is only a “full” line in the tank, no measurement. But it takes ≈ 4 hours to distill a little over a gallon of water.


I bought an electric water distiller. ≈5 ppm in the water after distillation, so essentially nothing. I wanted a way to reliably remove fluoride.


Very well said.

I think fundamentally yes, property has to be able to be defended for true ownership. This is true historically where the strongest armies under the most aggressive rulers took effectively all the land and property they could through force. True in Europe, Asia, the Middle East Japan and Russia. Many accounts of conquest in north and South America too.

I think the nation state model proliferated so well bc it was a property defense network whereby citizens had the assurance of property defense by their nation state. But of course this is problematic bc individuals are at the mercy (variable taxation and otherwise) of the nation state with no recourse.

I’m hopeful technology can become so advanced and asymmetric that a city state can economically defend itself from nation states (combination of strategic defensive and offensive capabilities). If this can be achieved then I think nation states will slowly cease to exist and city states with optional membership will become the norm.

I’ve basically had to admit (to myself first) that I was wrong about every MSM narrative that I took at a fact growing up. I did 180s on: money, politics, climate change and nutrition just to name the big ones.

It’s very hard to discover the official narratives that everyone believes and are held as hard truths since you were born are actually propaganda devices that credible evidence disproves and they’re instead lies used to manipulate the population. Most just can’t allow their mind to see this. It’s too daunting. But as a truth-seeker I can’t turn my back on reality once I see it.

That’s fair but definitely the exception to the rule. Most are pushing papers and learning how get the credits. I went to business school and I got damn good at getting those credits. Learned some theory and scratched the surface of some real skills along the way but essentially learned how to earn a degree and not a whole lot else. Skill building for me started after I graduated.


The four long years spent at university are used on building the skill of academic prowess needed to get the degree. Instead of building an actual skill / trade / craft. It’s a scam.

Sometimes the amount of bickering and ego that presents itself in the bitcoin/macro space can be disheartening. Bitcoin has a tendency to crush egos. If it hasn’t happened yet to those that believe they know all, it will. I believe Satoshi understood this. I believe he didn’t let ego get in the way because if he did he would still be around for the glory. As true bitcoiners, let’s respect bitcoin and Satoshi by respecting each other. And be humble and show humility when appropriate.

I think Parker Lewis’ thesis about merchants who understand #Bitcoin preferring that as the money they’re paid in is going to prove accurate at scale.

As a merchant myself I was been able to switch 1/3rd of my total revenue to P2P Bitcoin settlement in 2023. I expect that number to grow in 2024.

I am going to implement a surcharge for fiat payments because of the friction and risks associated with them.


Fully agree and I was actually going to say the same. I respect you for doing it and have absolutely no issue with your choices. The world is slightly safer for it too.

If you knew me you’d know I am a person who doesn’t ask permission and doesn’t respect many establishment decrees. But as a person who is doing other things that increase my risk of being searched it’s a compounding factor I’m not willing to expose myself to.


Asymmetric losses. The likelihood of you ever needing that weapon for shootout self defense is very low. The odds of you getting caught with it and getting mandatory minimum prison time as a slave for the state are orders of magnitude greater than odds of it saving your life.

If someone broke into my house I would kill them with extreme prejudice. No warning. No hesitation. No mercy.

Hesitation gets you killed and there is absolutely no way to know what their intentions are and if they’re armed themselves.

Well worth the time. I listened on a long drive and was bummed when it ended.


I think Park Lewis has the best #Bitcoin thesis’ of any well-known BTCer.

https://youtu.be/iyGGMU1_PIY?si=BowCSgpqcw3KYABS


Real estate turned into what gold wanted to be (purchasing power appreciation keeps pace with money supply inflation)

Gold turned into what fiat wanted to be (purchasing power flat-ish over time)

#Bitcoin is the new thing that’s an order of magnitude+ better than both in every comparable way.

Human ingenuity via technology always fills the void over time.


Unlikely in the short and medium term.

Supply is at all time lows and critically constrained by interest rates too. Prices have come off the euphoric top 2 years ago but I know 3 millennial couples who bought homes this year. I know others who are looking to do so within the next year or two.

Houses are widely considered the safest “investment” by boomers, gen x, and millennials. It will take many more years for reality to undo this way of thinking.

People also think massive debt is fact of life and are willing to rack up 500k+ mortgages bc “that’s just the way it is.” type sentiment.

Real estate in nominal terms will continue to reach several new ATHs (imo) over the next 5-10 years because it is an objectively better option than holding cash, bonds and arguably stonks. Houses have become a form of money for high earners and it will take awhile for trend to reverse (even though RE is bad money).

When rates go back down RE will enter another massive bull imo.

My gut says (emphatically) that #Bitcoin has reach a global critical mass.

No matter what draconian bullshit the establishment demons attempt, the hardcore foundational hodlers are not giving up our sats. We’re not turning off our nodes. Devs are not going to stop improving and building on the Bitcoin stack. There are too many participants to overpower at this point imo.

Everyday: More hash rate. More hardware. More meetups. More UTXOs. More self-custody. More NGU. More educational content. More conviction. More Network resilience. Less bitcoin on exchanges. But, still only 2,100,000,000,000,000 sats.

This is a grassroots, market driven global decision. The intelligent and principled humans are demanding neutral sound money. Lot of regards demanding it too.

This is it. We’ve breached the inflection point. Droves waking up daily to the reality that govt is a tyrannical and counterproductive institution built and maintained by theft. The establishment is losing their power and influence at an accelerating rate.

I can feel the hardcore minority growing to an untenable size and energy. We’re separating money from the state with our actions; and with this critical action the state’s power will eventually be irreparably crippled.

I am personally willing to go all the way for this mission. I will not comply with any Bitcoin regulations. I will use this fair and sound money however I see fit. I will actively disregard any decrees made by the corrupt, hypocritical state. I know many others will too. And there are not enough resources to stifle all of us. Not even close. I can hear a fat lady, and she’s signing. What a beautiful song. https://image.nostr.build/9a72bde98417bf7ad311fa59a049677b242bf4004380dfc142c5487590a66d87.jpg

I’m with you. Currently opportunity cost of the zap is what I consider but it’s still interesting seeing what Bitcoiner’s do with sound money when they are essentially valuing it at orders of magnitude more than its exchange rate today. I🧡programmable money #Bitcoin

Good times 🍻


There’s just nothing finer than being able to make exquisite espressos at home…


I read a lot about bitcoin and listened to some pods as a no-coiner but when I bought my first chunk and moved it to cold storage I immediately understood how brilliant and powerful of an innovation it was.


A current #zap of 30 sats (≈¢1) has the potential for 10x purchasing power in the short / medium-term and 100x+ in the long-term.

This asymmetry for those who understand and believe this will happen makes the psychology of zaps very interesting.


Whoops!


Well deserved.

What societal problems at scale aren’t tied to Government regulation, arbitrary criminalization or centralized money supply creation? Governance has ruined everything it’s touched.

There was no income tax in the United States until February 3rd, 1913. Now the average US tax payer loses 34.6% of their gross income to taxes.

That’s >1/3rd of each persons productive output, confiscated. Where does it go? Why is the deficit still growing by billions daily?

Tax-base is grossly misallocated and outright wasted by bureaucrats shuffling around hard-earned currency to corrupt and inefficient programs and different Government “sectors”. The politicians doing this have no incentive to “spend” money efficiently or effectively and for the average tax payer their taxed dollars are effectively 100% lost, with no real return.

Apparently some people on #Nostr are complaining about #Bitcoin talk… but these realities effect us all (many other countries operate similarly) and Bitcoin is the only parallel system that takes power from government tyranny and amplifies the power of peers on the Bitcoin Network. It is  THE action able  solution…

No-coiners and shitcoiners I hope you can start to see the proverbial light and join the critical mission. It’s important. We’re going to keep talking about it. https://image.nostr.build/383dd595be0c67aa5485303f51835cea8463f143632aecff10cb20bbb426c245.jpg


I’m out of the pop culture feed. Who’s had cardiac arrest?

Found out a girl I graduated high school with had a massive cardiac arrest at 36. Vaxxed and boosted 2x. Was in an induced coma for 3 weeks and barely lived. She has to live with the aid of a pace maker now.

She is a third grade teacher, fit, a mother of 2, doesn’t drink / smoke / do drugs and never has. Literally a church going Christian from a small town. Married her high school sweet heart. She’s a great person and I’m absolutely gutted by the news. So fucking sad and infuriating.


Been interesting watching hash rate leading up to this halving. Feels like a global mad dash to win these last 6.25 block rewards. I wouldn’t be surprised to see hash rate breach 600 eh/s at some point leading up to the halving.

I think as money alcohol is objectively better. But as lasting proof that work has been done, stonework takes the prize.

Not a durable product though… Stone work travels through time better than anything else. Though it doesn’t intoxicate 😂

I think humanity will split when some opt into getting computers embedded into their bodies. The experiences will be a lot different and effectively create a new sub-species. Likely to be the dominant group.

Great philosophers of our time


Why does matter do what it does and why are the rules of the game (physics/chemistry) set where they’re at? Why and how the FUCK does anything work? We will never know, I’m convinced of that. Fun questions though.


Yeah in the game theoretics of centralized nations or kingdoms militaries are necessary. At least insofar as self-defense of one group from the other most powerful / proximal groups.

But the US literally has 700+ bases globally to exert PoW on implicit subjects. I think a high-quality isolationist / defense-force would be an order of magnitude cheaper and a much more respectable / defensible system. But then the US couldn’t meddle nearly as effectively.


It’s a disgusting fiat hellhole. I don’t go there anymore. Saps energy and self-respect.


The US treasury is accumulating so much debt that it is trashing the  validity dollar even if the Fed isn’t creating base money at the moment.

Anyone who can do third grade arithmetic can also figure that the US can’t repay its debts in any scenario. Most other nation states are in a similar predicament, but they’re not the global reserve currency.

Back a handful of years all of the progressive cucks would claim if the gubmint would just scale back defense “spending” then the US would *basically* be solvent (lol)

With US interest expenses now rivaling defense spending and growing parabolically, the rest of the world is losing the last vestiges of confidence they had in the US fiat system.

US soft default in progress - maybe in the first third of complete debt devaluation.

Clearly the US is a deep state operation now and I’m sure factions within various deep state entities are battling for control. Along with their corporate sponsors.

Gold is the best approximation of money existent in nature.

#Bitcoin is a refined and substantially more useful engineering solution that IS the first real money to ever exist for humanity. That is neat. I’ll keep acquiring it.

I’d love to see fast food, fast fashion and 95% of garbage consumer goods fail tbh. It’s peak fiat. Localism is so much more accretive and healthy.


Francis is such an amazing human. He’s a Bitcoiner too🧡


Yeah it’s all garbage. I have a hand-me-down couch from my grandpa and everything else I’ve sourced used. Mid century hard wood is my preference. New stuff is straight fiat trash. Literally just trash that can maybe last a year before it gets put in its rightful place in the dump. Sad stuff.

I’ll never understand why the trend is to cut costs at the expense of a viable product long-term. It’s organizational suicide to get at slight short-term profit increases. Makes no sense if you want to survive for years.

But beyond that, it’s just bad form to offer something that isn’t a good product. The goal should quality goods / services and a sustainable (solvent) business model.

It’s one of the most ridiculous dynamics of all time. Bitcoin is so obviously the money / reserve asset going forward.

Many people will wake up to it right after they can buy 1/10th of the sats per USD. The big institutions will have their bags full. Going to be a shit show. Can’t wait.

I laugh to myself about how inept and non-threatening of an enemy the US federal government is at this point.

Spread way too thin with enemies on every corner of the planet. Corrupt to the core. Disjointed. Deeply indebted and no ability to ever pay down debts meaningfully. And as you point out massively inefficient in action.
