Would be honored if you guys could help spread this around.  Just trying to get feedback.

I spent my BTC on an idea for a cool "Login with Lightning" button.

As you get older, time flies. But looking  back at the distance between these having cycles, it feels like an eternity sometimes!

I’m excited to see what happens over the next year and a half


Great reminder. Ty!


I commissioned  a Rive artist to flesh out an idea I had for the login with lightning button.  I paid them in BTC.  ♥

What do you think?

Did this person have to manually add the sats?

Could the merchant have given them an invoice to make things faster?


🤣

Ok...GE.  10 days, huh?

That first glass of water int he morning.


Great read from @Marty Bent. I felt the same disgust when I saw Harris’s proposal targeting ‘price gouging’ at grocery stores.

C'mon...seriously?

This pandering is going to backfire when people (hopefully) realize they’re letting a Trojan Horse into their finances.

Thankfully, we have Bitcoin.


The code is justification that it isn't a pysop.  It's all right there in the open.

As long as there is at least two of us, Bitcoin will always have some value greater than zero.

I think what you're seeing is capitulation.


Isn't this the damn truth!  smh

Careful with wielding the Dad force, jedi.  It contains immense power, it also has the ability to manifest immediate awkwardness.

A fine, double-edged sword.


One of the things that I love about AI for someone who is a serial learner is that anytime I have a question or a curiosity I just simply ask.

While I may not be given the right answer every time, I at least have an answer that satisfies my curiosity. And then if I'm still interested I can dig in more and do some more research.

AI is really fucking cool.


These weird situations make my blood boil.  100% he has ulterior motives and the girl is either clueless or complicit.


From a technical perspective, my favorite short term positive divergence is a rising global M2 monetary supply and a sideways-to-down bitcoin price.

… which is what is currently happening.

FWIW.

Welcome! 🫡


Dude, the angle being 69 degrees.  🤌


I told my buddy, right after first halving, that his gpu farm to "mine" bitcoin was pretty cool, but then I completely ignored it.  He wanted to teach me how to build them.

That was around 2012.

I haven't heard from him since.  I like to imagine he's on an island somewhere drinking Mai Tais. 🏖


Price controls on food was a huge problem in the past.  I'm all for lower prices, but we have to let the market settle that on it's own, and begin accepting that lower prices requires deflation.

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/15/harris-corporate-price-gouging-ban-food-election.html
1. Ancient Rome - Emperor Diocletian's Edict on Maximum Prices led to severe shortages and black markets.

2. France (French Revolution) - The Law of the Maximum set price limits on food, leading to shortages and black markets.

3. Soviet Union - Price controls were a central feature of the planned economy, often leading to shortages and long lines for basic goods.

4. Zimbabwe - Price controls under the Mugabe regime led to severe shortages and a thriving black market.

5. Venezuela - Price controls have resulted in significant shortages of basic goods, with many items being available only on the black market

Why?

Shortages: When prices are set below the market equilibrium, demand often exceeds supply, leading to shortages.

Black Markets: Price controls often create black markets where goods are sold at higher prices.

Reduced Incentive to Produce: Producers may cut back on production if they can’t cover their costs, worsening shortages.

Quality Decline: In some cases, producers may lower the quality of goods to maintain profitability under price controls.


This Is My World - Peter Roe


Are we going to wake up one day and a tech company just leap-frogs everyone else because they have been using a private AGI for product development?

I'm ready for my rapid technological progress.  🍿


Ok, going to ask the important question.

Is it cash-you?

Or cash-shoo? gesundheit

Or Cash-uh?


👆

Seriously.  I did a "dopamine detox", where I just unplugged from social media, watching BTC price, news, and just coded on a project for a few weeks.

Maintaining focus that first was was hard af. But it got better over time.

 I'm more balanced these days, but the crazy part?

When I went back to peek at X, it was just....I don't know....too much.  Too much in your face.

It felt "loud".

Something I would have never realized had I not taken a long break.


Simplifying code is the best, isn't it?

I love diving into old code, seeing a younger version of myself make some silly coding choices, and refactoring with a simple, elegant solution.


She pointed at me. 👀


Finding inspiration is so much fun.  I go through periods plagued with a lack of motivation, and then something sparks my curiosity.

The motivation comes rushing back in just as quickly as it left.

I just wish I could sustain it!


Sound of silence remake by disturbed is mine


Does it happen to be lower back pain with spasms?  Inability to basically stand up without trembling?

I just recovered from that and the fix was eye opening.  I had a tight psoas muscle that was causing lower vertebrae issues.

A physical therapist fixed it in 5 minutes.  Weeks of pain, years of sporadic sciatica fixed in 5 minutes.

🤯


Might be worth including some kind of tooltip or popup that explains why the price on the main chart doesn't match the price when you put in a buy order.

I know we can now do limits, and I understand spreads, but I think the average new Bitcoiner will just think Strike is hiding something.


Don't trade these markets.  It's better to be a spectator than a victim.


This is not the god candle I was talking about, but I'll gladly take it for more sats.

🫡


Tik tok, next block.


They are NOT seriously doing this already?!  🤣


I think the XRP thing is making the rounds on TikTok too.  If my father brings it up, I know it's because he saw it there after drooling over some bouncing boobies.


I have a confession.  I was killing it doing some leverage trading for a good while.  This last dip rinsed me, but now I understand why.

I was neglecting my other projects.  I needed a bitch slap ✋ to re-focus.  Unfortunately, that means me losing some BTC, but it's a great learning lesson.

So back to building on my main business, and continuing my BTC treasury plan with it.

I do have this UI for my trading bot that I made.   Not sure what to do with it!

💯  With nostr, you come when *your* ready.  You don't have some algo trying to predict what you want, only to sell your metrics to some advertiser.

And what's worse?  That the algos force feed fear to you.  MSM has been on to this forever - they sell the fear.

It's the same reason why a happy news network doesn't exist.


Yup, never had any issues with Strike.  The limit orders are so clutch.  Going to set some orders up this weekend to catch these tasty dips.


So MSTR introduced the term BTC Yield.  I don't like it.

- It's not yield

From what I can tell, it's just saying that they plan to diluate MSTR shares by 4-8% annually to buy Bitcoin, which averages 55% over a 4 year period.

We knew this already, right? But why call it "yield"?

To lure in tradefi?


I quit X two days ago and couldn’t feel better.


I got my ass handed to me with the dip from $69k >$65k.  I should stick to my signals and stop trying to time trades!


Seems like that's an attack vector.  Is there a way to settle invoices peer to peer?


I just rewatched this!  Classic.


Guess someone at the Treasury needed to grab lunch?  🤣


Who ended up being the special guest?  (or was it Trump?)


Same!  I've been feeling angry lately, so taking some time off X.  Have this feeling the algorithm is force feeding me too much stressful stuff and I'm internalizing all of it.

When none of it matters.

Hanging out with you here in Nostr.  🫡

Has anyone gotten  nostr:npub1lnm0ac8ft8r3jhddchekledgwvqrkwy7wqejjwcxq47gy87te8zs6utnnn LNURL callbacks to work?  I've manually done my own LNURL auth, but their callback asks for an HMAC.

I thought you only needed the k1 (provided by me), signature and publickey (provided by wallet) to confirm a signature?

(it also wants an HMAC and tag)

German government learning a hard lesson right away now.


I'm solid in JS, and use Typescript on all my projects.  I can get around in most languages though.


Damnit!  Wasted a day diging through the LNURL auth protocol.  🤦♂

Next up: Diving into Nostr.  🏊♂


It does feel weird to not see so many engagement posts, and just see some raw thoughts, notes, and ideas shared.

Take away the incentive and you get more objectivity.


Should I not be learning about lnurl and instead dig into nostr and zaps?  Still learning terminology...

Wondering where can I start and contribute.


I enjoy building new things, lately focused on playing with  nostr:npub1lnm0ac8ft8r3jhddchekledgwvqrkwy7wqejjwcxq47gy87te8zs6utnnn API and LNURL authentication.

Is there a way for me to make a living do this?  💭

Here's the latest update, wondering if I could help push Bitcoin forward and work on something fun by joining a team, OSS, anything.

I like to jump around the front and backend, more of a bug squasher and problem solver.

Who needs help?

Buy now, refinance later?

Or wait until rates come down, buy at higher price?
