Soon, at +150k per bitcoin, nothing changes with respect to the mission:

1) You need to run a bitcoin node - Bitcoin is the code you run on the node.  If there ever is another war (there will be) your node is your sword and shield.

2) Self Custody - MSTR and ETFs are fine for certain situations, but you must self custody bitcoin

3) Demand holders of public bitcoin show proof of reserves by address signing (spare me the “but we don’t know their liabilities - I care less)

4) Join the debates regarding how we move bitcoin forward, educate yourself

5)  Teach others if asked to do so

6) We need to work to decentralize mining and try to ensure a meaningful percentage of the hash is private (plebs)

7) We need to work on privacy a bit, but not at the expense of too costly trade offs.  After all, it is a public blockchain.

8) We need to quit asking for permission and demand our freedom

9) If the state infringes our right, we must rebel

A non functioning Rube Goldberg machine, see ETH

Regardless, have a great day.  Enjoy the sats, glad you are here.


I’m going to send you a payment now for 10,000 sats.  I want you to tell me how much I have in my wallet.

4) Reform party gained a few seats, but it still seems the government is dominated by Labor/Tory?

Why is Nigel so pleased with this outcome?

I have a robin hood account (dont ask) and recently purchased 3500 USD worth of bitcoin using the RH app.  I was able to immediately able to w/d to cold storage.

Cashapp still has me stuck in this hell of 2,000 USD w/d per day and 5,000 USD w/d per week.

With a recent purchase, its going to take over 2 weeks to get my funds to cold storage.  And withdrawing such an amount creates 2 million sat UTXOs.

I would prefer larger.

Robin Hood should not be allowing for larger w/ds than cash app.


With #bitcoin, it is easy to prove ownership of an address.

If the SECGov wanted to protect investors (they don't), they would require the ETFs to sign an address at the end of each week, proving ownership.

In this case, Coin Base could do so.  We could then track the holdings in real time.

This isn't happening, and until it does, its safe to assume the ETFs and Coinbase are selling PAPER BITCOIN.

This would help to prevent situations like we witnessed with FTX and PRIME TRUST.

If we need total economic collapse in order to reach a 5-10 trillion dollar market cap, we deserve to lose.

For reasons I do not understand, most people could care less about bitcoin.

The only reason we are sustaining a 1 trillion market cap is because of the US ETFs and microstrategy.

The plebs could only maintain a 600-700 billion market cap.  Its sad AF and borderline depressing.

The plebs don't deserve bitcoin.  It took wallstreet to pump the price.


If the SEC wants to protect the people:

Each ETF  with Coinbase custody should have a known address which can be signed as “owned by.”

The public should be able to audit the address in real time, 24/7.

One of the many reasons Bitcoin is better.

If they don’t do this, assume they don’t have the Bitcoin.


I gave up on scaling bitcoin to the masses a long time ago.

In a perfect world, yes.  But 99.9% of people will never care about #Bitcoin

Of the remaining 0.1%, 99.9% just want price exposure and will buy an ETF or custody on an exchange.

The remainder, they are the remnant.

2) Encourage US miners to direct hash rate towards pools independent from the “pool of pools” serving as a front for Ant Pool.

3) Demand pools embrace SV2 and point hash-rate towards those pools.

4) Recognize the bias of miners and those who are heavily invested in the mining industry.

5) Encourage whales such as nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m to help us solve these problems with original ideas or investments into the ecosystem.

7) I agree with nostr:npub185h9z5yxn8uc7retm0n6gkm88358lejzparxms5kmy9epr236k2qcswrdp if the miners don’t want to help us protect Bitcoin, we should consider changing the POW algo.

8) Quit focusing on the price.  If we continue to focus on taking care of the network, the price will go up.

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?

I don’t necessarily think it’s that simple.

This is a problem for many reasons.


We should distinguish between “maintain” and…

“My name is John Smith, I am a bitcoin developer backed by Layer XYZ labs, a (theoretical) company that took VC funding to build out a product that depends upon a bitcoin protocol change.  BTW, if we don’t make this protocol change, Bitcoin will die and never scale.”


⛏~~Stats~~⛏

Since launching in November, OCEAN has mined 28 blocks consisting of 175 newly generated coins and 9.29785518 BTC in transaction fees - a total of 184.29785518 BTC.

Those mining with OCEAN since launch are sitting at around 112% of the rewards they could expect from the well known alternatives.

Prior to OCEAN, almost all block rewards went to the same dozen addresses under the control of just a handful.

OCEAN added 33 more addresses to this as miners started choosing to get paid directly by the Bitcoin network in OCEAN blocks.

OCEAN's overall luck is 101% and 106.5% since the start of the year.🎰

Happy mining everyone💪

Thank you sparrow…


The blocksize war wasn't so much about the blocksize (or, even, scaling Bitcoin). It was really about who controls the consensus rules and how we upgrade the protocol.

For context, a bunch of startups raised tons of money between 2013 and 2016 based on ridiculous user sign-up projections and then we had a long and painful bear market and they were looking for scapegoats (the developpers that were "throttling the network") to justify the lack of growth. I am thinking here specifically of Coinbase, Bitpay and Blockchain.info.

The vibe I got is that they thought of Bitcoin itself as a corporation, that they were the equivalent of Bitcoin's board of directors because they represented the interest of VC investors, and thus they were entitled to decision making power over the network.

I don't doubt that a few people were genuine about scaling p2p e-cash (e.g. Roger Ver) but I suspect what really motivated them is that they believed control of the Bitcoin network would be an asset to their business interests, and lack of control was being used as an excuse to why their interests weren't being satisfied.

There was also a bunch of developers that I believe may have been afraid of losing their relevance (Gavin and Garzik specifically). Regardless of their intentions or psychology, it seemed clear to me that the consortium of vc-backed startups (particularly Bitpay, Coinbase, blockchain(.)info and Roger) had picked a team of developers they thought they could control and wanted to appoint them as a technical management team whicn would execute their strategy, and these guys were willing to step up for that role.

I was physically in the room when the CEO of Blockchain.info (with the very obvious support of Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong) announced that Bitcoin Core devs were being fired and would be replaced. This was after a couple days of failed discussions with other industry people. This was the moment when I realized what was really going on.

And finally, you had a Bitcoin mining giant (Bitmain) controlling both asic production and mining pools with a vested interest in promoting the idea that Bitcoin was a democracy and the way to vote was to buy hashing power. The main ideology being pushed here was that a formal governance mechanism of the protocol needed to be established and that hashrate was the only objective measure of who makes decisions.

The underlying big blocker ideology was that the chaos of spontaneous consensus of nodes is unpredictable, flimsy, bad for business. The absence of a formal governance process was seen as the root cause of the issue.

These companies really believed they could control the protocol, and controlling development of the protocol was seen as a very valuable asset to your company. I imagine they thought of themselves as the founders of a new consortium that would solidify itself into a permanent institution. The business interests would pay developers and set the goals, and the mining interests would ratify their decisions with hash power voting. That was their plan.

This became blatantly obvious when Bitmain used its refusal to activate segwit as leverage to get what it wanted (a blocksize increase and recognition of its hashpower as a vote mecanism) even though Bitmain iself acknowledged it was not really opposed segwit.

It was classic traditional politics: I'll give you segwit if you give me something in return.

This is the language the VC suits, investors and tech startup people understand and they were very happy to "negotiate" and find "consensus".

This eventually materialized into the New York Agreement, negotiated literally as a backroom deal during theConsensuss shitcoin conference. I was there and I refused to attend.

This (private) meeting consecrated the alliance of startups/investors and bitcoin mining interests in their appointment of a technical management committee. If you think this sounds like Jekyll Island, you're not alone.

They packaged segwit with a blocksize increase (Segwit2x) and decided to force a hard fork as a condition to "allow" us to have Segwit.

We know the rest of the story: we ended up activating anyway via UASF (or more precisely, the miners activated Segwit after they New York Agreement signatories became scared UASF would lead to a chain split which they were going to lose). And the blocksize increase was also abandoned shortly after when they realized their hard fork would cause a chain split and that they would not be able to claim that their new shitcoin is the real bitcoin.

All these people were subsequently were very pissed off they couldn't control the network, which they thought they were entitled to. Some ragequit, others created a bunch of shitcoins out of spite, Roger went on to spearhead BCH as the real Bitcoin, all these fools realized they might as well make some money off of it, everyone went all-in on the shitcoin casinos after that. The "small blockers" eventually went on to evolve into the Bitcoin Maximalists and cypherpunks that today tell you to run your own node and own your own keys.

Thinking about starting a podcast and having @saylor join me this evening for the first episode.


Why would an ETF cave to Saylor?  What power does he have over them?  Need more details.


I just think, on the whole, he is a decent guy.


@saylor can you provide some context here?


I agree with Lopp, more context is warranted.  You have already fired the shots.  What did Saylor do and why?  This would make little sense.

Michael Saylor is not my hero, but he has been a net positive for bitcoin and I suspect he will end up being one of the biggest contributors to open source development.

“Now” isn’t a good measure because there is a lot of disagreement over the short term direction of the protocol.

III

But without following up this suggestion, I wish only, as I said, to remark the fact that as things now stand Isaiah's job seems rather to go begging. Everyone with a message nowadays is, like my venerable European friend, eager to take it to the masses. His first, last and only thought is of mass acceptance and mass approval. His great care is to put his doctrine in such shape as will capture the masses' attention and interest. This attitude towards the masses is so exclusive, so devout, that one is reminded of the troglodytic monster described by Plato, and the assiduous crowd at the entrance to its cave, trying obsequiously to placate it and win its favor, trying to interpret its inarticulate noises, trying to find out what it wants, and eagerly offering it all sorts of things that they think might strike its fancy.

The main trouble with all this is its reaction upon the mission itself. It necessitates an opportunist sophistication of one's doctrine, which profoundly alters its character and reduces it to a mere placebo. If, say, you are a preacher, you wish to attract as large a congregation as you can, which means an appeal to the masses; and this, in turn, means adapting the terms of your message to the order of intellect and character that the masses exhibit. If you are an educator, say with a college on your hands, you wish to get as many students as possible, and you whittle down your requirements accordingly. If a writer, you aim at getting many readers; if a publisher, many purchasers; if a philosopher, many disciples; if a reformer, many converts; if a musician, many auditors; and so on. But as we see on all sides, in the realization of these several desires, the prophetic message is so heavily adulterated with trivialities, in every instance, that its effect on the masses is merely to harden them in their sins. Meanwhile, the Remnant, aware of this adulteration and of the desires that prompt it, turn their backs on the prophet and will have nothing to do with him or his message.

Isaiah, on the other hand, worked under no such disabilities. He preached to the masses only in the sense that he preached publicly. Anyone who liked might listen; anyone who liked might pass by. He knew that the Remnant would listen; and knowing also that nothing was to be expected of the masses under any circumstances, he made no specific appeal to them, did not accommodate his message to their measure in any way, and did not care two straws whether they heeded it or not. As a modern publisher might put it, he was not worrying about circulation or about advertising. Hence, with all such obsessions quite out of the way, he was in a position to do his level best, without fear or favor, and answerable only to his august Boss.

If a prophet were not too particular about making money out of his mission or getting a dubious sort of notoriety out of it, the foregoing considerations would lead one to say that serving the Remnant looks like a good job. An assignment that you can really put your back into, and do your best without thinking about results, is a real job; whereas serving the masses is at best only half a job, considering the inexorable conditions that the masses impose upon their servants. They ask you to give them what they want, they insist upon it, and will take nothing else; and following their whims, their irrational changes of fancy, their hot and cold fits, is a tedious business, to say nothing of the fact that what they want at any time makes very little call on one's resources of prophesy. The Remnant, on the other hand, want only the best you have, whatever that may be. Give them that, and they are satisfied; you have nothing more to worry about. The prophet of the American masses must aim consciously at the lowest common denominator of intellect, taste, and character among 120,000,000 people; and this is a distressing task. The prophet of the Remnant, on the contrary, is in the enviable position of Papa Haydn in the household of Prince Esterhazy. All Haydn had to do was keep forking out the very best music he knew how to produce, knowing it would be understood and appreciated by those for whom he produced it, and caring not a button what anyone else thought of it — and that makes a good job.

In a sense, nevertheless, as I have said, it is not a rewarding job. If you can touch the fancy of the masses, and have the sagacity to keep always one jump ahead of their vagaries and vacillations, you can get good returns in money from serving the masses, and good returns also in a mouth-to-ear type of notoriety:

Digito monstrari et dicier, Hic est!

We all know innumerable politicians, journalists, dramatists, novelists and the like, who have done extremely well by themselves in these ways. Taking care of the Remnant, on the contrary, holds little promise of any such rewards. A prophet of the Remnant will not grow purse proud on the financial returns from his work, nor is it likely that he will get any great renown out of it. Isaiah's case was exceptional to this second rule, and there are others, but not many.

It may be thought, then, that while taking care of the Remnant is no doubt a good job, it is not an especially interesting job because it is as a rule so poorly paid. I have my doubts about this. There are other compensations to be got out of a job besides money and notoriety, and some of them seem substantial enough to be attractive. Many jobs which do not pay well are yet profoundly interesting, as, for instance, the job of research student in the sciences is said to be; and the job of looking after the Remnant seems to me, as I have surveyed it for many years from my seat in the grandstand, to be as interesting as any that can be found in the world.

IV

What chiefly makes it so, I think, is that in any given society the Remnant are always so largely an unknown quantity. You do not know, and will never know, more than two things about them. You can be sure of those — dead sure, as our phrase is — but you will never be able to make even a respectable guess at anything else. You do not know, and will never know, who the Remnant are, nor what they are doing or will do. Two things you do know, and no more: First, that they exist; second, that they will find you. Except for these two certainties, working for the Remnant means working in impenetrable darkness; and this, I should say, is just the condition calculated most effectively to pique the interest of any prophet who is properly gifted with the imagination, insight and intellectual curiosity necessary to a successful pursuit of his trade.

The fascination and the despair of the historian, as he looks back upon Isaiah's Jewry, upon Plato's Athens, or upon Rome of the Antonines, is the hope of discovering and laying bare the "substratum of right thinking and well doing" which he knows must have existed somewhere in those societies because no kind of collective life can possibly go on without it. He finds tantalizing intimations of it here and there in many places, as in the Greek Anthology, in the scrapbook of Aulus Gellius, in the poems of Ausonius, and in the brief and touching tribute, Bene merenti, bestowed upon the unknown occupants of Roman tombs. But these are vague and fragmentary; they lead him nowhere in his search for some kind of measure on this substratum, but merely testify to what he already knew a priori — that the substratum did somewhere exist. Where it was, how substantial it was, what its power of self-assertion and resistance was — of all this they tell him nothing.

Bitcoin is the revolution

Everything else is a distraction

This happened early in my journey…


Forgot a long time ago…and I would rather bitcoin succeed than make 1 million on a shit coin.


It was early times brother, forgive me.


Yes.  It really happened.


Confessions:

I once bought 3,000 dollars of a shit coin…

I held it for a year and sold it for a total of 4,000 USD.

I moved the money to bitcoin and have no regrets….

The shitcoin then pumped such that my 3k investment was worth over 1 million dollars (with plenty of liquidity)

The mistake was buying it in the first place.

I think we will be okay 😉


Also, in short, blockchains don’t scale.

If you double the block size and allow for 5000-6000 tx per block, that still only allows for around 300 million tx per year which means if every person in the US used bitcoin, they would be able to move their money fewer than once per year.


Because being able to run a bitcoin node is more important than buying a cup of coffee with an on chain transaction.

Without decentralization of nodes, and many of them, bitcoin will die.

We should not prioritize scaling at the expense of the features that make Bitcoin unique.

Exchanges and mining pools are not “average users.”

They don’t want to implement Lightning because it kills the use case for most of their shit coins.

And NOT implementing the primary scaling solution for Bitcoin is terrible.  In fact, they should be helping to build out the network.


I don’t think so.

Trojan Horse strategy.  Tell them what they want to hear so they leave us all alone while we keep building out and accumulating.

I know when you go to sign a multisig tx, the device basically needs to be made aware of this fact.  Will it then still be available for single sig sigs as well? Or once you sign a multisig tx, it is kind of stuck in that state?

The bitcoin mining companies that allow for transaction acceleration accept shitcoins and seem to discourage the use of bitcoin.

F2 pool doesn’t even accept bitcoin to accelerate a bitcoin tx.

Neither of them have embraced the lightning network.

Bitcoin exchanges and pools should help us grow the lightning network by running nodes and embracing payments and deposits over the Lightning network.

Chamath, made famous by Surfer Jim, went on national television and stated Clover Health would be the best performing stock over the next 10 years.

He didn’t disclose a pending investigation by the SEC.

There is nothing innovative about this company.  It “manages Medicare” for patients.

Meaning, you pay into Medicare your entire working life, but instead of going with Medicare in its pure form, this private company takes the money from Medicare and manages your care.

“Manages” means pay doctors poorly and deny care.

MSPB = Medicare spending per beneficiary ~ 15,000 per year

So they average this out and write a check to a private insurer like Clover.

Now, Clover’s only job is to spend less than the Medicare payment and pocket the difference.

There is a lot more to the story, I get it.

You’ve probably seen GreenpeaceUSA's Bitcoin report by now, and my response (if you haven't been blocked).

Here’s six things that every environmentalist, Bitcoin advocate, regulator, policymaker and media representative should know about GreenpeaceUSA.

I've had this information for over a year, but have held back on going public with it until now because there were initially signs that GreenpeaceUSA would be open to engaging with environmentalists within the Bitcoin community.

With them now blocking me from commenting on their tweets, all hope of that has now ended. So here's what I can tell you about GreenpeaceUSA, and their campaign that have not been aired publicly until now, and which may surprise you.

Firstly, some context: I’m a former volunteer environmental campaigner with Greenpeace. I once risked arrest to stand up for causes I believed in, including an anti-GMO campaign against McDonalds which was successful within 6 weeks, and hailed as an example of how creative direct action can yield fast results. One of the differences: we talked to McDonalds (something no one at GreenpeaceUSA is currently doing with the Bitcoin community).

I know a number of people in the environmental movement, and I would like to thank them for their honesty in whistleblowing on a thoroughly misguided campaign from GreenpeaceUSA from start to finish.

1. GreenpeaceUSA’s campaign does NOT have the backing of Greenpeace International. In fact, other branches have asked questions of GreenpeaceUSA’s tactics, and even said that their campaign is damaging the Greenpeace brand, and has resulted in the loss of subscriptions.

2. Within GreenpeaceUSA, there are a growing number of voices of discontent. There is a growing division between some of the younger crypto-neutral or crypto-friendly millennial in their base, and the directorship of GreenpeaceUSA

3. As we know, GreenpeaceUSA did receive a $5Million donation from Ripple’s chair Chris Larsen to run an anti-Bitcoin campaign. What you probably do not know is that within Greenpeace, several staff have questioned whether this is ethical, or in the spirit of an organization that says it relies only on grassroots funding in its sign-up pledge.

4. Some members of EWG and SierraClub, particularly younger members, were not enamoured with their organization’s collusion with GreenpeaceUSA’s “Change the Code” campaign. EWG has not engaged in anti-Bitcoin rhetoric since 6 April ‘23.

5. The head of GreenpeaceUSA’s “Change the Code” campaign has stepped down and is no longer any part of GreenpeaceUSA. At the time of his stepping down he was reported by a source within GreenpeaceUSA to be questioning the wisdom of the campaign.

6. Within GreenpeaceUSA, we know from multiple inside sources that the Change the Code campaign has been widely acknowledged to have been “not particularly successful”. GreenpeaceUSA’s campaign got off on the wrong foot right from the start, by antagonising environmentalists within the Bitcoin community, such as me. Here’s its half-time report (TL;DR, the worst performing environmental campaign I’ve ever witnessed). https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/greenpeace-environment-attacks-help-bitcoin… Now, the campaign is in more disarray than ever, resorting to tenuous ad hominem attacks against Satoshi Action, based on the discover that one of their supporters is a climate denier. True. Well, guess what: one of their supporters is also a plant-based, tree-hugging, climate-activist & meditation teacher: me. That’s the beauty of Bitcoin: it pulls people in from across the political spectrum: we are as diverse as society itself, and that’s what makes us strong. As I wrote recently, “when the ship you’re standing on is sinking: it doesn’t matter if you’re on the left of right side of it.”

I hoped GreenpeaceUSA would end their anti-Bitcoin campaign before their credibility and relevance to the new generation of millennials they are currently disenfranchising is completely severed.

But it seems at the moment they are more intent on doubling down on misinformation. Their leadership must change for them to ever have hope of becoming a true voice for the environment again.

It was always “inevitable” that institutions/ETFs would join the network.

There is no world where the suits watch something as beautiful as Bitcoin and think, “nah, I’m good.”

This was always inevitable.  In the end, I guess, we need more big players with SIZE who believe in bitcoin's mission.


Perhaps my biggest concern with the ETFs is the risk of a fork.

With the fork, we have typically said "Let the market decide."  But this concerns me because if the ETFs all pick the "ESG compliant" chain, most normies will assume "the market has spoken."

Inflation is making it hard for TSLA to keep up.

Can a single cold card be part of a multisig setup and a single sig set up at the same time?

I am constructing a test multisig set up and the cold card is one of the signing devices.

When I load the PSBT, the cold card asks "Do you want to important the multisig wallet?"

The answer is "yes," b/c I want to sign the transaction to send the funds out of the test multisig set up, HOWEVER, I don't want this to destroy the single sig functionality of the device.

Does my question make sense?

Hospitals would rather have a patient straight catheterized 8 times per day than simply place a foley.

Patient in the cardiac ICU (reason enough for a catheter), fully anti-coagulated, bleeding badly from the prostatebecause they would rather bleed him out than do the right thing and put a foley in.

*Medicare dings hospitals if patients get a CAUTI.  So they have went to the extreme and hardly ever place catheters.

I think so….


I used to have a subscription to that fking magazine.


There are many reasons Elon Musk will never fully embrace bitcoin, but perhaps two of the most obvious:

1) He is a narcissist and unable to accept that something so grand was not only created by somebody other than himself, but because he was so late to understand the broader implications of a bitcoin standard.

Bitcoin is bigger than Elon.  He will be humbled, but never admit his mistake.

2) His companies are dependent on the fiat standard.  When we talk about the "cantillon effect;" he and his business ventures have always been first in line for the free, easy money.

He thrives on the fiat standard.


The future of ETFs and most institutional grade Bitcoin will be collaborative custody. Though right now fidelity is the only one with control of their keys.


That works. 🙏


That would be a great idea and solve several issues.

Perhaps, the key owners:

The exchange, The Fund, and a bitcoin company such as unchained?


If the bitcoin ETF doesn’t control the private key for the sats under management, it’s a double kill.

You don’t own the key and
Neither do they.

Thank you for this advice.

The business exchange account is with river, although I am also fan of both strike and cashapp as well.

If any of these companies have a desire to partner with Atlas Urology, I would love that.

I’m sure we could find areas where our interests align, primarily around my desire to run the company on a bitcoin standard.


So far, Atlas Urology:

1) Hired an amazing team including 2 admins, 1 MA, and 1 PA-C.

2) Negotiated respectable contracts with multiple private insurers.

3) Set up a system for cash payments for those patients who desire to opt out of the insurance system.

4) Scaled our business to 35 QUALITY clinic visits per day with quality care

5) Doing 10-20 surgical procedures per week.

6) Working towards building a brand our community, patients and team can be proud of.

7) Filled the waiting room with bitcoin magazines.

8) Declared a bitcoin treasury reserve policy and made our first bitcoin purchase last week.

9) Need help from NOSTR - I have a very nice sign on the main road in my town with over  1000s of cars passing the sign each day.  I have ALOT of empty space on the sign and want to put some form of a bitcoin advertisement on the sign.

Any thoughts? "Bitcoin is Hope" or "Hope.com"

Any ideas would be appreciated, but I want to use the sign to advertise for bitcoin.

10) Does anybody have experience with SEO to help bring my company's site to the top of the search for "urologist near me."

I used River to create an exchange account for the business.  There are a few simple forms you need to fill out to get a business account with the exchange.

One of the team walked me through the process, it was very easy to set up.

Then you link the business bank account to the exchange and buy bitcoin.

TBH, it’s only a little more complex than opening up a personal account.

So on River, I have my personal account and an entirely separate account for the business.

I then have an bitcoin address that I have dedicate for the business - to ensure there will be no commingling of personal funds and business funds.


I hope I can meet Andreas Antonopoulas one day.

I am happy to report Atlas Urology has made our first conversion of USD to bitcoin.

Our treasury will be held in cold storage and entirely stored in bitcoin, minus 3 months of working capital.


Also, open sats or any type of bitcoin donation or funding isn’t “altruistic,” it’s necessary.

NGU requires people running nodes, mining, supporting devs, and supporting projects that are good for the ecosystem.

Otherwise, apathy takes over and NGD.


I respectfully disagree.

There is a myth that bitcoin’s success is an inevitability….its not.


One of the unique challenges of running a Bitcoin fund is knowing Bitcoin is likely going to outperform your fund.

But if nobody supports development within the ecosystem, the value of Bitcoin will trend to zero.


Not at all. 🫂


Bitcoin is not inevitable.

Not everything is good for bitcoin.

If you don’t run a node, you would be better trusting central bankers.

Bitcoin isn’t perfect, but it’s the best we have and it’s worth fighting for.

Apathy is the biggest risk Bitcoin faces.  Most people couldn’t care less about it. nostr:note1gnddc68thmy2eu2qgx0jl6gjk8sls2hnah34nj5w6a8ta45p3cnshkv2zt
