 Does #Nostr rhyme with roster or toaster? 
 I see the world moving towards an open source future and it makes me optimistic. #WhitePill
@MartyBent 
 I’m more concerned with how fiat is abused by governments
#Bitcoin

 Technology is how we make change. 
#Bitcoin and #Nostr are ground zero. 
Welcome to the party 
 #FreeRoss 
 Incredible rip from @MartyBent and Ian Carroll on TFTC.

 Hello world 
 Welcome! 
 I read this article yesterday and it had a completely different title with a negative spin. Same exact article, different title. What changed?

 So far, Runes has been an excellent transaction fee donation project

 Creating is the best feeling in the world. 
Make something that didn’t exist before you started working on it. 
 Any #Bitcoin Trump receives will be sold immediately for fiat. 
Keep your Bitcoin. Donate fiat if you 
must. 
 Broken Money really is excellent. It’s tough for a book so thick to remain interesting and @LynAlden really nailed it. Bravo 
 Senator Chuck Schumer finally emailed me back about the #Bitcoin mining tax. 
It says nothing but at least they are responding to their constituents 
https://m.primal.net/IUay.jpg 
 It’s wild how badly the Dems are botching this election. Astounding actually 
 The amount of lost time and productivity due to dealing with income taxes nationwide is insanely ... 
 And it was supposed to be temporary 
 Of course they show a pic of #Bitcoin. 
Which can’t be staked

 Excellent Money Matters pod this week from @jack mallers

 Donating to Open Source devs through funds like OpenSats gives you zero control over how the money is spent

 Facts 
 Trump is probably gonna win and it’s all Elizabeth Warren’s fault. Hilarious. 
 There’s a huge conversation going on in my notifications about this, so I thought I’d just ma... 
 No and no 
 A Bitaxe in every home

 Great chat from @TheGuySwann with an ex-detective turned Bitcoiner

 Home Miners are the HODLers of hashrate. 
Mining #Bitcoin regardless of price. 
 The US has over $34 Trillion of debt. 
To put into perspective how absolutely huge even 1 Trillion is:

 The #Bitaxe project has taken on a life of its own. 
That’s the power of Open Source 
 Some day, we'll be able to leave a QR code and go.

nostr:note1r7v07rnuaptf4xat69pp2meeypr5jyp3j3... 
 Probably more like a QR code is at the table you can scan to pay then bounce 
 Solo Mining is having a renaissance and I love to see it

 Privacy tools on #Bitcoin will not go away. They will just become more decentralized. 
This is what happens when Bitcoin gets attacked. It becomes stronger. 
 Modern lottery.

 Love seeing solo mining making a comeback 
 The money printer is about to run so hot, it will need immersion cooling
#Bitcoin 
 Saylor probably doesn’t even run a node. 
#Bitcoin doesn’t want or need a leader 
 A CGminer has pulled into the lead of the monthly Public Pool difficulty race. 
Let’s get some more #Bitaxe miners online and win this thing for open source

 Despite the absence of Nostr polls, I'm trying yo gauge the Nostr community as best I can.

Which... 
 Primal. It just looks cleaner, updates the feed better, and has better options for sorting your feed. 
Unfortunately, I can’t use the Primal wallet because I live in NY (fuck NY state)
I used to use Damus 
 Holy shit. 
#Primal is a wayyyyy better #Nostr client. Im sold 
 Amazing job with this one 
 Cathie Wood is bullish on #bitcoin and hot.
Nice. 
 Total GILF 
 Coinbase Lightning withdrawals are (of course) not available in NY. 
NY hates lightning. 
BitLicense is a scam. 
#Bitcoin 
 If you don’t live in NY state, you might not be aware of how awful the BitLicense law is. 

Can’t use Primal’s wallet
Can’t send lightning from Cash App
Extremely limited places to buy #Bitcoin (Coinbase/Cash App/Venmo/PayPal)

NY seems to really hate Lightning 
 The NY BitLicense is a scam. 
It’s creator left his position to open a firm, charging money to assist with the grueling application process.

 Aqua. So far its been great 
 Yeah it’s got an on chain wallet with a separate Liquid wallet that can send and accept LN transactions with Boltz swaps 
 Now that Samourai Wallet is no more, what's your on-chain only wallet wallet of choice? I feel li... 
 Aqua. So far its been great 
 Decentralize privacy tools
#Bitcoin 
 Switching to @AQUA Wallet at least for now. 
The seamless integration of Liquid and Lightning is phenomenal. Not having to worry about LN channels is a huge bonus. https://image.nostr.build/ebe6a93c2db2d8c786350cb1c3796df830beefaa65b798d057ea882d7750c6ff.jpg

 My #Bitaxe Supra arrived from D-Central. Now pushing up on 2 Th/s of open source hashpower in my home https://image.nostr.build/1e6967da3da31c27f15c12ed6cfd0b220f5ed282524b51f1349cf0e1673f6272.jpg
