 @LynAlden some of us doctors do live and breath Bitcoin 😂

(Amazing podcast btw, thanks @Natalie !) 
 Hahahahahha 100% true 
 Fond memories deep in the bloody bear market with you all. 

They will say we were lucky. 

@ODELL ‘s advice is important now more than ever. Stay humble and stack sats.

 Yes! The OG Doc Chain! 
 #Maine was incredible.

Sadly, lost all my #Bitcoin shortly after this photo was taken.

 STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS. 
 sat by sat 🧱

 Sorry guys just stacked hard before the drop. My b. 
 ANY MINUTE NOW  
 WE ARE A FEW MINUTES AWAY 
 In the end, it was inevitable.

 Things are about to get interesting. Never been so bullish.

Scrolling through old pics to keep me humble. We were not lucky.

Apologies for the dumb question. Had to move the node in the house, but after setting it up again lightning wallet has been on “syncing” for a few hours and Bitcoin is a few hours behind on blocks. Is this normal/anything to do to get my node up to the current block? Just seems stuck

 Incredible. Thanks so much for your response!! Feel better 
 Will check this - thank you!! 
 Interesting! It might be! I was def down for a while. We’re all good now, though

 From Nostr keys creation to receiving money in mere seconds. Yes this is the future. Yes this is ... 
 So true. Without it few will go from zero to non-custodial. This opens the door. 
 Things like  @primal are going to be absolutely essential for adoption. Or  @strike lightning wallets. Messing with channels and trying to link LNDHubs from my node for non-custodial lightning wallets...no amount of reddit forums can help me now  
 Are there downsides to connecting Sparrow Wallet to your own Electrum Server? 
 Figured that was the case - thanks!  
 Just finishing setting up mynode, the node part - incredible. The lightning part…how the hell is this going to scale. Working through RTL, Blue Wallet, channels, etc. Lol what the hell. Base layer I get, I have a lot to learn about how to actually use lightning. The fun continues. 
 😂thank you!

Clearnet vs. Tor for #bitcoin full node? I feel like I’ve gathered the basic differences on Reddit but would love nostr’s input. Thanks! 
 Amazing thank you!

 Mining sats using Braiins OS+ directly to my Primal wallet with a 1 sat threshold is mind boggling. 

Thanks @mcshane for the idea!


https://m.primal.net/JIvt.jpg 
 Just an old S9. It’s with Braiins OS+ based on hash rate so for me it’s like 700 sats a day roughly. Dont keep it on all the time but just for fun every now and then. 
 Did you buy the dip, anon? 
 Fireworks and cheap sats. Happy 4th ⚡️🎆 
 #Bitcoin is great for so many reasons, but driving home listening to my daily dose of a Bitcoin podcast I realized the greatest gift for me is hope and optimism. Sure, I love learning more each day by reading and listening to Bitcoin content. But really, at its core, it makes me happy and hopeful for a better future for my family. With so many reasons to feel terrible today with everything going on in the world, I’m not quite sure how I would feel if bitcoin didn’t exist. 

I feel overwhelmingly grateful for it.

Wishing you all a safe and fun 4th 🎆🇺🇸

 Been a month since CK Pool hit...time to roll the dice again! 
 Has anyone used the MyNode (either model 1 or 2) for their #Bitcoin node? Looking for any reviews/recs for a new plug and play setup 

#asknostr 
 Nice looking at Start9 as well! 
 Thank you! 
 Here comes 850,000 
 Nice @braiins 
 Almost done with Broken Money by @LynAlden. What an incredible book. Start to finish the highest yield econ/finance book I’ve read.

Next one acquired ✅

Bullish. We’re gonna win!

 receiving #Bitcoin mining payout directly from Braiins to Primal wallet. 

1 sat threshold. 

Wild. 
 Amazing 
 Remembered you posted this and just set this up myself. Couldn’t actually get any other wallet to connect (all had long lnbc addresses that didn’t work). Primal was the only one. You still mining to primal? 
 Curious what people’s thoughts are on owning miners (e.g. RIOT, MARA, etc). I usually preach just buying Bitcoin…but things have been pretty interesting lately. 

Anyone been picking up miner stock or solely stacking sats?

#Bitcoin
#asknostr 
 Thanks for the info! Makes sense

 Went long RIOT at the bottom this morning…we’ll see how it plays out. 

Go Texas & #Bitcoin 🇺🇸⚡️

 Home gym coming along. 

Modified Murph today (still lacking pull up bar) for Memorial Day.

Also stacked some sats, so all in all a perfect weekend with the wife and baby. Grateful to those that sacrificed to make it possible. 

Hope you and your families enjoyed the long weekend!

 Stacking extra hard today. Thanks Swan for 0 fees for now! 
 All pools that want to be pleb friendly should have Lightning withdrawals.

 Love that Braiins just did this ⚡️ 
 Happy Sunday 🌞⚡️

 If fees could drop a bit so I can move a lil sum on chain that would be greaaat 
 GM #nostr fam 🌞 
 😂 have a similar graph. Starting to drop back down again. 
 GM. 

Almost everyone is underestimating the geopolitical implications of #Bitcoin. 

The next 5-... 
 GM ⚡️ Agreed. Next 5-10 years, too! 
 Happy Halving everyone! 

Celebrating in the best way I know how - family, wine, and steaks. 

Much love to you all.
