 I’ll ask how he secures his private keys, make sure he’s practicing good security 
 If you don’t #zap at least one #bitcoin #nostr post each day you aren’t getting the full value from the new decentralised world 
 Great article—thanks!

Energy protects certainty ensuring purchasing power is retained which lowers time preference is a critically important aspect 
 The trouble with selling in #bitcoin is one has to keep changing the selling price downward

Could someone let the #bitcoin CEO know to fix this bug? 
 Found a quality plumber that accepts #bitcoin

 BREAKING: Total #Bitcoin spot ETF trading volume exceeds $2.1 billion today. 
 It is great how the #bitcoin purchases by ETF funds started at 4am Greenwich (Monday morn their time) as they knew the incoming flows

 I found most business owners don’t want to think about purchasing power, they just want to focus on their business and expansion.  Demonstrating how #bitcoin protects long-term purchasing power helps them down the #orangepill path.  The below post is an owner that I brought in and his value increase in local(¥) and USD terms, sufficiently convincing for any business

 Feels great to see the physical #bitcoin private key (#nostr too) closer to completion

Making a #privacy cover for it as well

 If it costs more to remove an element from the ground and fashion it into a coin then the denomination is worthless and should be left in the ground

Forget #fiat
#bitcoin is the path 
 What have you bought in USD lately *in cash* where the amount at the second place past the decimal mattered at all?  1-9¢ is meaningless now that it cost more to manufacture the coins than the actual face value

 Who writes matching algorithm controls the future 
 I foresee two eras for #bitcoin and I hope to see both in my lifetime:

) Adoption era (now)
) Post-adoption era

During the Adoption era there will be few investments outside of #bitcoin that make external allocation of assets worthwhile.  This era is the eye watering value increases as people realise the value of a truly scarce, #private asset

In the post-Adoption era all investments will be measured in #bitcoin terms.  #bitcoin’s value change will follow world population growth offset (reduced) by world productivity growth

A beautiful future with #bitcoin; happy to hear your thoughts

Has anyone good helping advices on how to go from 0 to being fully crypto? I would like... 
 First, it’s #bitcoin , not crypto

Second, ask yourself “why?”

Then we can start… 
 Cut of the same cloth, I see

but I suggest #bitcoin, because everything else crypto is a business model or adding back in a centralised aspect, plus BLOCKCHAIN!™️

Start with #bitcoin—easiest way to start is get yourself a private key and set up a wallet to receive some

Open source, non-custodial, only.  That you you hold the keys to your own value

BlueWallet is a good place to start; I can suggest others, too

 #bitcoin isn’t about what we need it to be—#bitcoin is about what is needed

What is the right amount of energy use?  Given an energy market, any use of energy is the right amount for that use

Any crypto ex-#bitcoin are business cases, centralised control, etc.  I don’t bother so cannot help you too much there

#bitcoin works just fine as cash and being #bitcoin Functional, but to each their own

 Here was my thought on the topic:

https://modulo.network/key 
 Correct.  When you assemble the bits into the key it is a random 256-bit number, which is a private key for #bitcoin or even #nostr

By extension this could be a master private key that generates all your child keys and seed phrases 
 Just gonna throw this out there.

 Freedom-from things and freedom-to-do things are two sides of the same coin—being free of external manipulation

Jealously guard being free

Keep freedom to transact by regularly transacting and #coinjoin #bitcoin with whatever tool you wish

Support those who make #private, freedom-defending code, despite losing their own freedoms

With #bitcoin you are free to transact any amount you wish around the world

 Imagine a currency you can borrow but reverts back to its previous owner at some point in the future, like money on a string and a hook?  What could you do with that kind of currency if every person knew the currency had this trait?  Who would even want it, except to get rid of as fast as possible for something that doesn’t get pulled away

That is what we work for every day.  The #fiat currency we earn has a built-in defect that reverts a small but incremental portion back to its originator every day.  This is the money in your pocket.  Your #fiat does not store your work—its built-in mechanism transfers itself back to the state over long periods of time

Switch to #bitcoin and cut the string 
 I pains me to keep repeating the obvious, but any investment needs to be measured in #bitcoin Functional terms

You have an investment portfolio?  How does it perform in #btc?

You have assets?  You have liabilities?  How do they shape up when measured in #bitcoin

Any portfolio manager that doesn’t realise this will be left on the garbage pile of poor investment management

 Here’s a few more! 
 I did a quick napkin calculation and if the chances per block are 0.01978% and there are 6x24 = 144 blocks per day, that works out to 2.8% chance per day.  The bottom line of 0.1 years looks right, though

 This is a tough one.  #normies should try to bend their minds enough to know the key pair is the future. Whether #nostr or #bitcoin and the sooner they understand it the better off they will be

But if the constraint is no external key generation mechanism, then alternatives like limited access until a key is submitted or depending on the client keyless involvement similar to buying airplane tickets without accounts?

 I was thinking along same the other day:  If growth of a business’ value is just growth of population then investing in stocks is just momentum and timing unless it is an investment in something novel and new (#bitcoin industries, SpaceX, fusion development, etc.) nostr:note1kg5gcwka22v0kg9xgxj75jgrfyk0srvzmathhyr0qvvlm8hdt4qst35ktt

 One of the many beautiful things about #bitcoin #mining is it creates predictable load.  Electric utilities normally have to forecast and plan for load growth and generation over years or decades

#bitcoinmining creates demand for energy right now, utilities create/source generation and as the halving reduces rewards and organic load arrives to the local grid, generation transfers from miners departing the area to new residential and commercial arrivals https://image.nostr.build/96111b621789558040eaf0e51f4b11ee26902a8f4cfc307f71b012077704510c.jpg
