Here’s a charitable use for Bitcoin.

A charity shop (online and / or physical), but instead of selling donated items from the public for profit, it sells essential items in areas that are needed.

Customers order online or request in store the items they need and the shop generates a Lightning invoice with an explanation of the item and optionally the person that has requested it.

That invoice can be paid by anybody either in store or online through the QR code.

Also, the option to pay forward could be provided, where regular items can be offered for sale and when paid for can be collected by anybody that needs it immediately.

What about common sense?


Have you ever seen “The Godfather” ?

The mafia may be slightly more ruthless!


My understanding:

Ordinals: I want to store a JPEG of my pet dog, I don't care about fees, so I'll pay a high fee, but I can wait a week.

Runes: I want that unique Sat before anybody else, I have to pay to guarantee to get into the next block otherwise somebody else will get it, therefore I'll pay any fee necessary.

Is this correct?

I bought an Umbrel home after trying to install on a Lenovo NUC with 32GB RAM and a 2TB SSD, but Umbrel didn't like it, so I downgraded to an Umbrel home, which only has 16GB RAM and will struggle to do what I need it to.

I ended up installing  nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll on the Lenovo, which has been fine, but no VPN. Also, Start9 is not as good user experience. I'm not sure of its claims of being an OS and therefore more stable, we shall see.


Huh?

I've bought 4!
2 expensive and the expensive ones are worse than the cheap Pi's.


It runs on Tor, the Bitcoin Blockchain uses Tor to "whisper".

I think what you're actually asking is "How practical is it to access services like NOSTR and Mobile wallets via Tor?"

and the answer is it's possible, but a miserable experience.
A private VPN is much faster and more stable.

Even from desktop, using a Tor browser is a compromise and not a pleasant experience.

So no, I wouldn't try to make a lightning payment IRL using a Tor connected wallet, nor would I use NOSTR over Tor by choice.

My heart feels a little sad missing my village and community up north today and not being able to gather with everyone this Beltane.

This was my first Beltane, two years ago. I couldn't believe that I had not made it a point to go all the previous 7 years I'd been living in the area to this annual mad day gathering.

I go with the philosophy that in most cases, both sides are right, society, however, has to choose one.

There is a valid argument for having a scaled Bitcoin L1 ecosystem that can take an ever increasing number of transactions per second.

However the cost is decentralisation, which gives governments greater attack vectors than they have right now and we would never succeed in separating money from state.

We need to stop defending things that can be used for illegal activity.

Tor was developed by the US Navy to protect free speech. Today it is described as the dark web

Encryption was illegal until freed by Phil Zimmerman in 1991 and used to secure the web.

BitTorrent was used to pirate music until it was used to create a global, decentralised gold standard monetary system.

Cannabis is used to relieve pain for hundreds of thousands of people around the world.

Stop defending inalienable rights to groups opposed to those rights, it’s a waste.

# Halving Fee Chaos

The Bitcoin halving is an anticipated event, one of those Bitcoin holidays that happen every once in a while. Along with Soft Fork Activation and various financial instrument introduction days, it's one of those not-quite-predictable days that occur every few years which give Bitcoiners reason to pay attention and mainstream media to speculate.

This year's halving was much anticipated, as halvings usually are, but we had a bit of an incident that requires some further explanation. The block subsidy decreased from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC on block 840,000 as expected, but what wasn't expected was the 37.626 BTC in fees that came along with it. To give some context, that's easily the highest ratio of fees to block subsidy that Bitcoin has *ever* had. [One transaction](https://mempool.space/tx/152b928e97bb9e874da1bd4abdf766ae0cdc7a2f260dad5542967cb414c58489) paid nearly 8 BTC in fees by itself.

## More Fees

It wasn't just block 840,000 that had high fees, over the next 5 blocks, we had fees of 4.486, 6.99, 16.068, 24.008 and 29.821 BTC respectively. The fees are the highest it's ever been. This situation in Bitcoin is unprecedented.

Up to this point in Bitcoin's history a block whose fees were higher than block subsidy were pretty rare. There were a few in the 50 and 25 BTC eras, but these were mistakes by the user (usually forgetting to put in a change address) and almost all of the fee came from a single error transaction. In the 12.5 BTC subsidy era, there were a few transactions toward the end of 2017 when the cumulative fees exceeded the 12.5 subsidy. In the just-ended 6.25 BTC subsidy era, there were many blocks during the ordinals craze which exceeded the 6.25 BTC subsidy.

Still, these were relatively rare, and most blocks even in the most recently completed era mostly didn't exceeded 1.5 BTC. Yet in this new era of 3.125 BTC subsidy, every single block as of this writing (block 840018) has had fees exceed the subsidy, some by many multiples. So what happened? Why was the halving block getting so much in fees?

## Runes

The reason has to do with a new protocol called Runes. It's yet another colored coins protocol on top of Bitcoin that Casey Rodarmor designed back in [September of 2023](https://rodarmor.com/blog/runes/). The main idea is to allow coin issuance on Bitcoin that uses the UTXO set natively.

Now to back up a bit, colored coins have been around for a long time. The main idea is that you can "color" certain Bitcoin transaction outputs as meaning something in addition to the Bitcoin amount in the output. It could be another "asset" and issued as a token. The first implementation of such a protocol happened 11 *years* ago in 2013 and there have been many attempts since, including MasterCoin (renamed Omni), CounterParty, and more recently, RGB, Taro Assets and BRC-20.

As Rodarmor states in his blog, his motivation for making another protocol is to bring some of the asset issuing from other chains to Bitcoin. To make the launch of this protocol more interesting, Rodarmor decided to start the issuance on block 840,000, leading to the chaos we saw.

## Simplification vs Game Theory

Casey Rodarmor is also the creator of ordinals, and he took one of the concepts, which was to name assets using the capital latin alphabet on Runes. This is a normal fine choice, but what happens when there's a conflict? If two assets have the same name, how do we distinguish between them?

To simplify things, the protocol just looks up what assets exist already and if the name conflicts with something that exists, then the new asset isn't issued. This indeed simplifies the client and gives a global unique name to each asset. Unfortunately, it also makes for some terrible incentives.

## Sniping Asset Issuance

The first incentive problem is that if the transaction issuing the asset is sent out to the Bitcoin mempool, then as that transaction is gossiped to nodes around the network, other observers can snipe the name by getting the transaction in earlier.

Now "earlier" in Bitcoin is a strict concept. Blocks are ordered and transactions within a block are ordered. Whichever comes first gets the symbol and the asset issuance. But if you want to squat on a good symbol name, you can just look for mempool transactions that are attempting to create a new asset and create your own with a bigger fee. That's the essence of sniping.

What's really terrible about a situation like this is that *both* transactions will likely go into the block, but only the first will successfully issue the asset. The second will not issue the asset but *still pay the fee*.

Miners generally order transactions by fee rate, so a higher fee likely means that they'll get to issue the asset. I say likely, because there's a second incentive problem here I'll discuss later. But game-theoretically, both participants are incentivized to increase fees continually to one-up each other. The dynamic is similar to the [One Dollar Auction](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_auction), where participants end up making rational choices, but end up with an irrational result (like paying $1.50 for $1). Every loser pays lots in fees for nothing.

## Second order Game Theory

Now given this first-order incentive playing out, it's not a surprise that a lot of issuers purposefully put in a very high fee initially to discourage anyone from trying to snipe the symbol. After all, if your sniping attempt fails, then you lose out on the fees you tried to snipe with. There's also a significant uptick in the usage of RBF for this reason, so that you have the option to one-up the sniper and the sniper to do the same to the issuer.

Note that RBF isn't useful here to *get out* of paying the fee, as a replacement transaction has to pay more than the previous transaction in fees. Either way, the miner ends up with the fees.

Now back to the miner's role. The miner can, if it so desires, give preference to the *lower* fee transaction by including it earlier in the block. Indeed, the incentive is to give miners off-band fees if possible to order transactions in such a way as to win by not revealing how much you've paid. Miners in this protocol have a lot of leverage.

## Conclusion

Runes have resulted in some really high fees, though it's hard to know if the design was intentional or unintentional. What we do know is that Runes have been hyped up for the last few months and have been anticipated for a while, and certainly being one of the first assets issued under the protocol has some marketing value for the eventual goal of getting them listed on an exchange.

Sadly, in addition to the normal scamming of altcoins being completely centralized, there is a deeper cost in terms of block space congestion, where fees of 1000 sats/vbyte are currently not enough to get into certain blocks. The Runes asset issuance has overridden almost every other use case at the moment.

That said, the current rate of Runes issuance is completely unsustainable. Just in the first 18 blocks, there's been over $20M in fees spent, most of that in Runes issuance. At this rate, Runes issuers would be spending $150M a day or $1B a week. I honestly can't see them doing this for much longer than a month or two. In the meantime, it must be great to be a miner finding these blocks.


JUST IN: The halving block had 37.6 #Bitcoin  worth of fees 👀😮 https://image.nostr.build/305615e84eda1d14cd6289e3cdee472896e4f2b029c880f31029f7f1bd30f536.jpg

Quote from the recipe:

HOW TO EAT FOUFOU
Pinch off a little bit of the foufou and mold it into a small oval ball with your palms. Make a small indentation in the fufu and use this indentation to scoop up some of the soup or stew, then swallow. Yes, I said swallow – no chewing! The ”chewing instinct” might set in, but with practice, the art of swallowing fufu can be mastered!

Looking at the merkle branches that mining pools send to miners as part of stratum jobs, it's clear that the BTCcom pool, Binance pool, Poolin, EMCD, Rawpool, and possibly Braiins* have exactly the same template and custom transaction prioritization as AntPool.

 https://image.nostr.build/33d5ac0f59082e8fbb5d02ccd9a50dccea43327ae97e10db06effaede7f7c064.jpg

Stratum v1 jobs include (parts of) the coinbase transaction and the merkle branches a miner needs to compute the merkle root. If all branches are equal across pools, the block template is exactly the same.

Many of the other pools didn't prioritize a transaction and included the highest feerate transaction https://mempool.space/tx/96608dc747677d6dfbc3a2b37f8a0146abae132799b13c130066bd3716fdf91a paying 301 sat/vbyte. ViaBTC prioritized another transaction and has a vastly different template.

This indicates that F2Pool currently is not using the AntPool templates, even if they share the the same custody provider. We know from multiple occasions that F2Pool has been building their own templates (https://b10c.me/o11, https://b10c.me/o9, https://b10c.me/o8)

Note that SigmaPool and SecPool both seem to share the same template (distinct from AntPools template). Two names, but probably one pool.

Some overlap in the first branches of distinct pools is expected as these branches consist of few (usually high feerate) transactions. For example, Ocean's "default" and "core" templates overlap up to branch3. At least the first 15 tx (2⁴ - 1) in the template are equal.

* similar to EMCD in the picture, Braiins sometimes differs from AntPool in the later branches of the template. This could indicate they're only helping with AntPools transaction accelerator and directly syncing with AntPools mempool, causing occasional differences in templates.

I've heard speculation about this all being liked to an FPPS partnership with AntPool/Bitmain.

Bitmain insures against bad pool luck but you have to use Bitmains templates/transaction prioritization and pay the mining reward to the insurer for later distribution.

Essentially a pool of pools and a lot of mining centralization.

I started #mining!! 🧡

It's an old #Bitmain S9. It's wildly inefficient.

It produces about 9T/h at 700
Watts.

I pay about 10 times more for electricity, than I get in #Bitcoin. But I figure like this; I believe the sats I mine will go up 15 times in the coming 5 years. So they are still cheap! 🤣

Main reason tho: contribute to the network.

GM, less than 3 days to the halving. Be happy.


A legacy news channel explained that the halving means the price of Bitcoin is halved, which increases demand.


Linux will never take off.

Now OpenVMS, that's got promise.

2. Infinite mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders one beer. The second one orders half a beer. This time, the third one gets his order in before the bartender can react: he orders one-third of a beer. The bar stays open forever


The belief is that some of the early adopters will build large companies which will eventually be profitable as BTC increases in price and lightning increases in use.


What about Mrs. Doubtfire?


No. Alex Bosworth, Head of Lightning at Lightning Labs, famously runs a node with about $1M worth of liquidity.

He spends 8 hours a day managing it and it earns him around $30K per anum.

It's his job, so the $30K income is unimportant, but a 3% return from an investment and a full time job as one of the most expert proponents doesn't make it worthwhile for normies.

Companies are actually making money by selling inbound liquidity, but you need a lot of capital to do this.

The likes of ACINQ, WoS or LqWD are large corporates and possibly make money from it.


I've not tried it, but seems like a less developed version of Umbrel.

I believe their license is true FOSS, whereas Umbrel is Free, but not open if that matters to you.


Yes, I want to access my node remotely, for things like Zeus wallet or NOSTR relay. Tor is slow and not widely supported and trying to run Orbit on an iPhone is tough.

I can do all of this with Umbrel who use Tailscale VPN.

Start9 are introducing a VPN in their full release (not sure when that's scheduled).

To summarise the general difference:

Umbrel is the Apple of the node world

Start9 is the Linux of the node world


No VPN means a no for me for the moment.

FYI: One of my 3 Nodes is Start9, the other 2 are Umbrel.

Are you allowed to hate hate crime laws?


I believe the Universe is such a client


Not really, this is the first one I actually understand 😂


True, it wasn't intended to evolve a discussion, but I'm happy to give my view.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Taproot allowed Ordinals and Runes are an evolution of this. The compelling argument for using Bitcoin over Ethereum to store NFTs is that they are inscribed within the blockchain.

That is compelling compared to inscribing a URL with Ethereum.

However Ethereum was designed from the core with Smart Contracts (it is Turing complete), Bitcoin was not and not meant to allow Smart Contracts (by design).

Other functionality within Bitcoin gave the unintentional ability to create Bitcoin NFTs and so hackers exploited this ability.

In the short term it filled the mempool space with transactions and increased fees dramatically. You can argue that it accelerated BTC becoming the Bitcoin equivalent of the banking RTGS system and so you can argue it has added value and utility to Bitcoin and accelerated its Layer 1 as a banking layer.

However, it has also, arguably accelerate the decline of Bitcoin as a currency and it may never recover from this.

My personal view is Ethereum is designed for NFTs, so let a hard forking, low energy (PoS), rapidly evolving blockchain have control of the NFT space and leave Bitcoin as a sound money system (both asset and currency).

Other people have other views and a valid argument I also agree with is "let the market decide".

There are no right or wrongs, but my vote is to leave Bitcoin to handle sound money.

As a miner I love Ordinals, but I'm also a node runner, so I hate storing other peoples JPEGs.

But primarily as a HODLer, I dislike them intensely.

No. You need to take peak demand into capacity management.

You are not planning for average use, but peak usage which can be mitigated in many ways.

Try to separate corporate decisions about profit from technical ones.

Once you understand capacity management, then you decide how much profit you want to make.

It is possible for humans to mine #Bitcoin.

Using pen and paper a human can calculate the SHA-256 hash.

What's the customer support number for http?

nostr is a protocol.


#nostr is a protocol, protocols do not have killer features, but some platforms built upon protocols do have killer features.

Google's killer feature was search, it used http as a protocol to create its platform which contained its killer feature.

I think nostr as a protocol is safe, the ecosystems many are building on top of it are fascinating. But we are still very early.

Relax, it's happening slowly, then suddenly.


nostr is still mainly used alongside twitter. in the best rare case, as a replacement. and only because people are running away from something about twitter they don't like.

there is nothing that people want to run to nostr for yet. zaps were promising, but bitcoin is still a hurdle (one that primal is doing the best at overcoming), and it's doubtful lightning could scale to a massive adoption moment.

nostr needs a feature or experience that's unique and sets it apart. i *think* that is the ecosystem of microapps over the long term...but it's definitely not in the short term. and that might be ok.

for twitter the initial draw was the simplicity and weirdness of 140 characters (we started with zero network effect, facebook had it all...that's built over time). later it became the conversation which lead to the "public square" (owned by a private corporation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). and then as it grew, it had a single point of control/failure people could attack.

nostr doesn't have to worry about that last bit. it's an incredible feature. but not one the average person cares about (no matter how much they yell "FREE SPEECH!"...if people actually cared about free speech, bitcoin and nostr would be all they used...they don't).

all this to say, we're not doomed. but what we think is the killer feature isn't right now. who's going to discover the one that is?

The food was fine (not amazing), but it was the experience of using Bitcoin Lightning in the wild that made it memorable.

Like most, I will remember my first time I did it in real life.


Worth every Sat my friend, also the cup of tea I bought and the beers I bought in the Ledger bar later in the afternoon.

I feel sorry for the vendors, they were orange pilled on the day to accept Bitcoin, only for it to drop to $66K shortly after lunch.

I hope  nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx explained about HODLing 😂

7 days, 1 hours, and 0 minutes until the next Bitcoin halving.
Estimated to be on April 20th 2024 at 08:18:54
Current block height is 838,986
There are 1,014 blocks left to be mined before the halving.

Can you sue for slander from the grave 😂


Phases of ignorance in my Bitcoin Journey

Phase 1: Hey! Bitcoin is AWESOME! Let me buy some on Coinbase.

Phase 2: Coinbase is not a viable option, gotta find a different source. I discovered Nostr! This lightning wallet is REALLY nifty and easy to use.

Phase 3: I can buy Bitcoin on CashApp and send it directly to my wallet! But.......THIS  lightning wallet isn't a viable option cause I don't hold my own keys.

Phase 4: I'm running my own lightning node, life is awesome, except Cashapp and Strike are KYC and I'm pretty sure I'm on a government list now for owning bitcoin.

Phase 5: The lightning node was a huge failure, lost a lot of money in force closures. I hate lightning. Sticking to Layer 1 ONLY! Also, Robosats and Bisq are awesome ways to buy noKYC coins.

Phase 6: The Mempool fees are killing me because of these people called wizards? Why does it cost $30 to send my $50 in Bitcoin to my wallet?! I'm already paying the noKYC premium!!

Phase 7: So lightning isn't too bad after all, but I still don't trust myself to not blow up a node, so I'll find a happy medium. Also, nobody told me that putting noKYC sats in a wallet with KYC sats would be a problem. FML

Phase 8: Discovered Sparrow wallet and it has this thing called coinjoin that supposedly makes it harder to track funds, what's the worse that could happen? Maybe this will allow me to buy cheap KYC sats and just mix them into infinity! Haha, ignorance is bliss!

Phase 9: Coinjoin was really expensive, and nobody told me I needed to keep my computer on while it ran. I haven't seen my sats in months. Why am I even doing this?

Phase 10: Finally finished mixing, my Cold Storage system is perfect! It would be a shame if I accidentally sent some KYC sats to my post mixed wallet.

Phase 11: I accidentally sent some KYC sats to my post mixed wallet. I've contemplated my existence and why God has allowed such incompetence to remain on planet earth. Also, finally understand the importance of VPN's which just makes this point sting that much more.

Phase 12: I discovered Liquid Network, and I now have a perfect system where I buy noKYC, send it straight to Liquid until the amount justifies a cold storage UTXO. Never touches lightning, and while I'm trusting in a federation of bitcoin companies to not come together and rug me, my odds are infinitely better than if I were to try and run my own lightning node again. Plus, the noKYC gives me all the benefits of a coinjoin without the high fees.

Phase 13: To be continued

Agreed, however Bitcoin is a disruptive technology and not everybody is able to accept it.

I think some old guard will jump on the Bitcoin wagon, but most won’t.

Also, Bitcoin will not go up for ever. 21M coins at $20M nearly equals the entire wealth of the world ($454T)

This halving will be a full NGU event, I don’t believe the next halving will be a full NGU event.

Time is running out, despite the narrative of we are still early.

Once the price settles, probably around $5M a coin, then it will start becoming adopted as a currency, not just an asset.

Bitcoin is facilitating a movement of wealth and power, not a change of wealth and power.

The future Rothchilds, Goldman-Sachs, Grosvenor’s are Bitcoin whales right now. If all 8 billion people wanted L1 Bitcoin, it would take nearly 40 years for those transactions to clear the mempool, so most people will never hold Bitcoin and will have to “trust” Bitcoin L1 holders to issue them tokens (such as ETFs) or custodial Lightning.

It’s the same game, with new players.

Well, we 𝘴𝘢𝘺 that today is Satoshi’s birthday only because this is the date he gave for his birth when he created his profile on the P2P Foundation.

Is it 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 his birthday? Perhaps not, but the date does carry with it some fascinating significance.

https://m.primal.net/HrTS.png

If today is actually not his birthday, then Satoshi Nakamoto likely chose this date for a couple reasons. 𝟱 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 marks the anniversary of when the United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102, in 1933, which prohibited the hoarding of gold by U.S. citizens.

This action essentially 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 gold from the general population, and centralized monetary control with the federal government. This event is symbolic of the kind of government overreach and control over money that #Bitcoin seeks to replace by 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽-𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆.

https://m.primal.net/HrTT.png

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝟭𝟵𝟳𝟱 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱. The ban on gold ownership was lifted on December 31, 1974, effectively allowing citizens to once again own and trade gold as of January 1, 1975. This moment symbolized a return to a 𝘴𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 of financial freedom and control over one's assets.

Satoshi Nakamoto's choice of this particular date for his pseudonymous birthday, therefore, can be seen as a profound statement on 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘵𝘺 and 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘮𝘦.

https://m.primal.net/HrTU.png

If Satoshi was actually born that day, then 𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝟰𝟵 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆. So let us all wish Satoshi a very happy birthday, wherever he is, whoever he is, and regardless of whether or not today is really his birthday.🎂

I was lucky to visit in the 1990's with my Father. A school friend of his was a volunteer there and we got a behind the scenes tour and I got to operate Colossus.

That was before it was properly open to the public. I got to meet the legendary Tony Sale.

This time, I'll just be a regular punter, I have mixed feelings about going.


BTC is easy, just HODL and number goes up.

Spend, don't sell.


Speaking of Enigma, I'm visiting Bletchley park in a couple of weeks time.


Pizza beer and buddies are the best.

I bet that cost less than 10,000 BTC.

Buddies are priceless


Wow, quite a journey.

Keep winning and keep trusting your instinct.

And yes, I wish my nodes were as strong as you.


Just followed them, I'm in the UK so we have more honey availability here.


I don't know what I'd do if I ever got a perfect node.

I had to look up Type A, it summarised:

Achievement-oriented
Competitive
Fast-paced
Impatient

I would try to regain that status, looks pretty good to me.


I'm risky the snakes in the outback, despite your sage advice.


I don't think it ever did have a chance of going to zero since Pizza Day.

I think Bitcoin layer one is going to be the next RTGS (look it up).

Enjoy the ride.

Also stop shilling, it doesn't go down well here, leave that for Xitter.


Hold on, so you've got 2 out of 3 life skills (strength and good looks) and you seem pretty intelligent too?

I've only got half of one, that's not fair 😂

Seriously though, yes, we all have our own path and challenges, it is the things that we struggle with that often drive us to excel.

Nothing is worth winning if it is won too easily.

Don't look at others, follow your own path, it is always the best way and enjoy what you have or have achieved, chances are it is hard earned and worth celebrating.

Thanks for sharing your story.

I wouldn't worry about the top 1%, they're mostly inherited idiots without a clue.

Bitcoiners are going to become the top 1% before the decade is out, enjoy the journey.


For all skills there are primary and secondary uses.

If you're good looking, then you can use it indirectly to get an interview or by people wanting to be close to you and offering you opportunities.

Same with strength, you don't have to be a fighter, you can project it and make others more inclined to give what you want.

Brains seems to work best indirectly, most child geniuses seem to fail later on, while those that find the intelligence route harder often succeed later in life.

Have 2 of the three attributes helps and not being exceptional in any one category helps as you tend to appreciate what you have and work harder at developing it or its use.

That's my limited thinking on the matter anyway. I'm probably wrong 😂


I loved this when it happened.

I don't think the stupidly named "Intelligence Services" have recovered from it yet.


Ah, yes, we're onboarding TikTok at the moment, but OnlyFans is a closer fit to a NOSTR / Lightning pay as you go service.

We all make use of what skills we have, if you're good looking make money from that, if you're strong make money from that.

I'm trying the brains route, it may work, it may not. The other two aren't options for me.


What's an OF woman?


I feel like a whore, commenting for zaps, is this what we've come to? 😂


Nope, you're fine. Keep going


I'm married, so I live in the Bahamas now.


Sorry, we couldn’t wait.

Phone Brian Armstrong, he’ll stop it for you


Another day, another 5,000 BTC sold.

They’re going to run out in 70 days (around 1st June)

Then:

450 BTC mined daily
5,000 sold daily by one ETF alone.

You do the maths https://image.nostr.build/31988a0ce091610bb641d624169fe40a39e1cf3b9305bc773b076082b6764ad1.jpg

Now your pecan my interest


Who ordered the pump?


Can I guess?

1 Satoshi is going to do something
2 Multiple items of Satoshi

Satoshi’s white paper
I have 1,000 Satoshis

Names are always capitalised, other uses are dependent and optional


Too late, the wife’s already done that down the fiat mines.

Now, back to the magnet, have you got any with boats on them?


We’re all getting FU money

and Lambos
