 @tuttletwins IS ON NOSTR! (yes, it is actually them, not an imposter, I was texting with Jonny as he created the npub)

Give @tuttletwins a follow and a warm welcome to Nostr 🤙 nostr:note1gq4yz5y8ln7s5s4ww3nl797ha8nmzhaqpzpxxcscgruhjskh9yvqcmtfhs 
 Good Morning ☀️🐶

 Over half of the world’s economies, accounting for two-thirds of the global population, now have fertility rates below the replacement fertility level of 2.1 children per woman.

Good morning. https://i.nostr.build/CzlJDthofcxtDqag.jpg https://i.nostr.build/fG3i4oj2EQZroV6J.jpg  
 As a new father, I highly recommend it. 

As @HODL says “you’re not a man until you have a child.” 
 If you want kids, you should have kids. 

If you don’t want kids, you shouldn’t have kids. 

That’s my philosophy. 
 Sidebar, but one of the funniest terms I’ve heard for kids is “sex receipts.”

Anyway, highly recommend. 
 Shooters gon’ shoot. #pewpew 
 1AM.

Just finished publishing this episode of @Titcoin 

Really enjoyed the conversation and hope you find it valuable. 

Now bed. 

Goodnight 🤙 nostr:note1skunaz4n8uumxfy8ewj0wk4qq59ljw66p8ur7w22re6fskyc355qpwju84 
 I think this is the first non-fart joke meme anyone made out of this 😂 
 🤯 
 I messed up the stream after pausing it to figure out audio issues (I am still a streaming n00b, apologies), so I’ll try to get this episode released tonight on the @Titcoin rss feed, Highlighter, and [centralized video platforms]

https://bitcoinpodcast.net/podcast nostr:note13nantrvwqk7daq7dkywdl2l27sv4sdprlwevsple4u23ewgt72zqy9qh22 
 Couldn’t get the stream to start again after I temporarily cut it to fix the audio, but will try to get the episode released ASAP tonight 🤙 
 I can now say from the experience of grinding on building my own podcast....this is EXTREMELY imp... 
 I appreciate that man 🙏 

It turns out growing an RSS feed is much harder than it looks.

And yes, definitely couldn’t do it without Carla’s support (plus no one would know who I am without her anyway lol)

 Very important clarification lol

Checkmate, Elon.

 To live is to risk it all 
 gotta risk it for the biscuit, as the French say. 
 This is pretty wild to see, but also not surprising. 

It’s interesting to think about how couples used to meet from the perspective of Web of Trust: couples used to meet through their personal Web of Trust (family, school, friends, church, etc), but now it’s primarily online. 

Not surprising that divorce rates have increased over the same time period. 

No WoT >> no social vetting >> worse couple pairing https://v.nostr.build/iRBvMIDmSMRGPknY.mp4  
 I was introduced to Carla by a guy who had known her since middle school. He was on my dorm floor and we quickly got really close. I still remember the first time he took me to meet his friends from his home town… “you’re going to like these girls, but you’re going to love Carla.”

He was right. 

He was a groomsman at our wedding, and it’s safe to say his introduction to Carla was the most pivotal moment of my life. 

Web of Trust matters. 
 “You're just not being honest with yourself at the end of the day, right? That's the problem. And you don't you don't have the fucking balls to be that way because it's fucking hard, dude, and it sucks. It sucks so much because you're just basically throwing yourself out of the society you live in to be like ‘fuck this man, I'm not doing this anymore. I'm just gonna go figure this out on my own.’” - @Mandrik on @Titcoin

 BRÆKING: EXACTLY 15 years ago today, Satoshi Nakamoto debated naming #Bitcoin "Titcoin" in email correspondence with Peter Todd, proving that Peter Todd is NOT Satoshi, but raising questions as to why Satoshi chose “Bitcoin” instead of “Titcoin”…

Why didn’t HBO cover this???

 A STORY OF HOW EARLY WE ARE TO #BITCOIN

At an appointment today the two very friendly receptionist gals told me I had a great voice, and said I should do ASMR or voiceovers.

I told them I have a podcast.

They asked what it was about. 

I said “Bitcoin.”

Receptionist 1: “oh no, that’s too boring.”

Me: “I think it’s important to talk about how the government steals from us through inflation, and how Bitcoin is a solution for individuals to escape that.”

Receptionist 2: “Isn’t that done? Like not around anymore? Didn’t it go down?”

Me: “No, it’s still very much around.”

Receptionist 2: “have you heard of [shitcoin]?”

Me: “yes, but I focus on Bitcoin because it’s the only thing not centrally controlled.”

Receptionist 2: “so you can just buy bitcoin, or how do you get it?”

Me: “yeah it’s easy, you buy it just like you would a stock.”

Receptionist 1: “you can buy it on CashApp.”

Me: “you seem to know about Bitcoin?”

Receptionist 1: “my fiancé has Bitcoin and [shitcoin].”

Me: “I’m not into [shitcoin], but glad he’s into Bitcoin.”

Receptionist 2: so where can we find your podcast? 

Me: just go to http://titcoin.org (I was wearing a @Titcoin  shirt)

Both: [laugh uproariously]

>> After my appointment >>

Receptionist 2: so, are you going to start an ASMR podcast?

Me: I might just have to. 

Receptionist 1: and in the meantime we can just go to Titcoin.org

Both: [laugh uproariously]

COME FOR THE TITS, STAY FOR THE BITS 
 It’s your lucky day, because I already read the Bitcoin white paper on @Titcoin 

It was Halloween last year and I was dressed like Ken.

 Don’t dm me on Nostr. nostr:note1yn3lsdu74vj3tsytn8fdmcuxfap47xashl6r0djqxl6uxr72j6wqngs545

 Thanks for the feedback, y’all. I just switched back to @Blink – The Everyday Bitcoin Wallet  because apparently @Alby isn’t working even though I pay a monthly fee for Alby Hub and bought several million sats worth of channel liquidity. nostr:note15z46hlf98e9fyp40exvanw8uleetxeff5zr3fgkyumnl377k0fpshjx8cj 
 Definitely didn’t change my Lightning address on Alby…

Last payment I received to walker@getalby.com was last night just before midnight, and none since then. But had a report prior to that that there was some trouble zapping me. 

https://getalby.com/p/walker 
 GM. Has anyone had trouble zapping me lately? 

I recently switched my receiving Lightning address from Blink to Alby so it would count live zaps on zap.stream, but now I’ve heard my alby wallet appears to be causing problems… 
 Hmm OK im switching back to my blink wallet 
 Damn okay just switched back to blink 
 GOD DAMN IT ALBY WHAT AM I PAYING YOU FOR?!?

 Seems to be the common thread… 
 This is one of the most powerful indictments of legacy media and censorship I’ve ever heard…

 Whose Ecash episode with @calle 👁️⚡👁️ was better?

@Titcoin or @preston ?

Also, who would you say would win in a bareknuckle boxing match: me or Preston?

Also, would it be fair to say Preston would look great with a handlebar mustache?

You may want to get some Nostr just in case it catches ... 
 Extremely well said.
