Story time:

6 years ago my mother in law was left penniless in a surprise divorce at age 67.

My father in law (piece of shit) had left her with nothing and planned to dump her on social security.

She was working as a pre school teacher making $14 an hour.

We had to move fast.

Father in law literally shotgun divorced her.

Showed up at the doorstep with a notary and manipulated an emotionally fragile woman into a binding legal agreement.

I was pissed.

I showed up a few hours later with a series of financial plans.

And with tears still streaming down her face in the kitchen of her tiny apartment, she picked one.

I gave her 3 options.

1. Aggressive
2. Extremely aggressive
3. Dave Ramsey rice and beans

She chose number 3.

Over the next 4 years she rode her bike to work everyday. Watered down her lemonade. Spent nothing on herself. Walked dogs for extra income. Took weekend shifts at the preschool. Showed up early. Stayed late and against all odds was able to save 12k a year on a salary of only 27k.

I set up a couple retirement accounts for her and whenever she would scratch $1,000 together she would give it to me and I would smash buy GBTC or MSTR.

My mother in law has never invested a day in her life and I didn’t want the news or some boomer friend to freak her out, so my wife and I just tell her she’s invested in “the market” 😂

When Bitcoin (the market) is doing good, we tell her and when it’s not we just… don’t tell her lol

So she’s effectively shielded from the emotional volatility of hodling. Which makes her a very good hodler.

Fast forward to today.

I helped her retire from the preschool. She is now living with us and helping look after her grandchildren.

She went from being near suicidal. My wife and I were legitimately concerned about her mental health. To a happy healthy and vibrant grandmother.

And as of yesterday she crossed 500k in retirement accounts.

I expect she’ll be a millionaire soon.

She can now comfortably retire with dignity.

This is not something that would have been possible without Bitcoin.

As cool as it is to see people like @saylor make billions of dollars these are the stories I live for.

The average person fixing their life with bitcoin.

It’s so fucking beautiful man.

Life’s good.

Nostr needs key rotation like Bluesky, where you can rotate your compromised client key using your compromised master key to a new key, all by just clicking buttons that will instruct a compromised cloud server to perform signatures that no one will ever see and that no other user will ever check.

Without that it will remain an absolute joke.

Yes i solved a problem this way. I was trying to figure out how to generate a password that would always pass complexity requirements without reducing the entropy.

I woke up that night with the simple solution immediately top of mind…

just a loop that generates a random password, then tests it for complexity. If it doesn’t meet complexity requirements, loop again. If complexity test succeeds, return that as the generated password. (And a max loop count to avoid infinite loop conditions, of course.)

A better name for ‘deep state’ is ‘permanent bureaucracy.’

When people think ‘deep state,’ they imagine super capable elites planning painstakingly effective psyops.

Spin up a new BTC wallet and move your sats asap.

They are and should remain separated key pairs.

It does work to use them across nostr and btc because both are compatible elliptic curve key pairs using the secp256k1 curve.

Bech32 key encoding helps disambiguate the purpose with a human readable prefix (“npub” for nostr, “bc1” for btc. However, in mnemonic form there is no prefix, possibly causing confusion in scenarios like yours.

If you move your sats soon you should be fine though.

Chants of “Silence is violence” is making a case that it’s ok to use force against people who speak their opinion.

The logical conclusion of this flawed thinking is that we can arrest, jail, or worse anyone with an unpopular opinion.

Bitcoin is way greener than that. As sources of cheap (geothermal, etc) energy, Bitcoin makes them sources of WEALTH.

I’d posit that we don’t have free markets.

I still don’t see a difference between Corporatism and Fascism.

The bottom line is that all forms of government are really just named for where they BEGIN on the continuum of authoritarianism (vs libertarianism / anarchism) since they all suffer from the bureaucratic lifecycle, they all grow in size and authority until collapse or overthrown.

We need to be able to constantly make new New Worlds where individuals and ideas can be freely exercised and demonstrated without permission from anyone else.

Nostr and BTC hopefully provide the next New World we need!


Not when a license is required to cut hair


I’m not using strict political definitions so my word choice maybe could have been better.

We’re choking on the size of the bureaucracy in government but also in the corporate bureaucracy that exists due to the government bureaucracy that constantly creates new rules without fixing old ones.

The choking is the reduction of abundance (wealth) caused by bureaucratic make-work which reduces actual productivity.

The choking results in more rules that ultimately defend the wealth streams of the wealthy at the expense of those at the bottom of the economic ladder whose rungs are removed by the new rules.


I agree.  Part of cybersecurity is uplifting outdated patterns or anti-patterns in developed code… like teaching devs not to roll their own authentication or session management


It is sad but it also makes me mad…

The generation that inherited so much abundance provided by capitalism then kept saying yes to every politician’s or government’s program, many of which were CLEARLY unsustainable from the start (self-delusion, can-kicking).

Now, we all have to deal with consequences of them ignoring the reality that the capitalist system got replaced with socialism - a system that is unable to bring the abundance they now seek

No I’m saying the parents of the teen mother are the people legally responsible for both her and the baby, so it’s not just the teen girls’ decision but also theirs.


I’m a father of two pre-teen girls (and two sons), not a nostr rando and I disagree.

They are under the care and supervision of their parents until they are able to support themselves and go it on their own.

If a teen girl has sex because she thinks she’s ready and she has a baby that she cannot support, her parents have to support baby too. It’s kind of the law, legally but also morally.


I have two daughters and I disagree very much.

We need a good way to recover your network from key loss / compromise. The only solution I see is to add a recovery key that can redirect the network from old to new npubs.

Nostr identity is broken and insecure. Kludgy identity solutions bolted on top of nostr will not fix the problems.

ATProtocol has done a far better job with identity. Key recovery without having to burn down and rebuild your network is the most important one for typical users.

I read through the #atprotocol docs. I think they got identity right where, frankly, nostr got identity wrong.

Nostr doesn’t think left nor right of the private key.

atprotocol identity layer provides an account recovery key and process that does not require burning down and rebuilding your social network just because someone gets one device compromised.

Nostr needs to take a lesson on identity from #atprotocol on making things better for mainstream users.


I grew up in a family farming area, my dad grew up farming and I worked as a farm hand as a teen and felt and saw how hard it was.

The first farmer I bailed hay for handled the hay bails by the twine with no gloves… bare handed all day long. Most people’s hands wouldn’t last a minute, literally 4-5 of his heavy bails and your hands would be bloody. Hard work all day every day made his hands like leather.

Trust me. We need to make it easier for farmers, not harder.

Regenerative farming may be the way.

Farmers feed ALL OF US and are the foundation of modern society.

Agriculture of domesticated crops and livestock is the foundation of all of modern society.

Without productive farmers, nobody has time to specialize or focus on anything other than food hunting and gathering.

Farming improvements enabled people to “come out of the fields” to do other work, enabling other specialists to emerge without widespread starvation.

Anti farming policies are not progressive, but actually regressive.

Well, for example, I have some knowledge about chia, which uses a unique “nakamato” consensus mechanism to solve the Byzantine general’s dilemma. Obviously btc uses proof-of-work and many know about proof-of-stake and its centralization problems but chia (xch) uses proof-of-space-time. Now I’m not saying it’s without problems nor do I recommend it to anyone. But it is very interesting to me from an engineering and efficiency standpoint.

A maxi attitude precludes people from learning and just creates more echo chambers in which we can all lazily have our biases confirmed.

I reject that approach to critical thinking and learning.


I just think “maxi” attitudes can result in close-minded thinking.

Bitcoin attracts society to free green energy sources.

This is a property that emerges because Bitcoin directly ties that energy to wealth creation.

Me, training an IT staff prior to migrating their Exchange migration: “Remember that in the server policy view, don’t press the red X button next to a server because, counterintuitively, it deletes the server entirely from the system rather than just removing it from that policy!”

Me, on the first day after the migration: (presses the red X and deletes the production server entirely from the system)

All mail flow ceased and began queuing up in the file system. But, I designed the server disk layouts to be ready for an extended period of queuing by sizing and isolating the transport queues from the os, xaction logs, and mailbox databases.

I did scramble to get the server object restored but as soon as it was, the mail queues began draining and I mean fast! Those brand new disk arrays proved their IOPS that day, I can assure you.

In the end it just delayed mail delivery a bit but nobody’s mailbox went down, so it was just a little “day 1 hiccup” of the migration that we laughed about

Stealing a bit from Dmitry Orlov here but the most rational behavior may likely be to treat the old system like a train and allow it to slow down so you can step off without having to tuck and roll or risk severe injury.

The more the centralized systems slow down and/or become ever more apparent total failures, the more people can feel safe stepping off.

I believe this is what most people are “waiting for” in the subconscious sense.

The adoption rate will depend highly on the rate the old system decelerates.

Socialists are well-intentioned. They think that sharing is so great (which it is), that they want force everyone to share (and get along as a result).

The problem is that once you force people, it’s not sharing but theft, so the result can never be everyone getting along because someone is always stealing from someone else.

“We should change Bitcoin now in a contentious way to fix the security budget” is basically the same tinkering mentality that central bankers have.

It begins with an overconfident assumption that they know fees won’t be sufficient in the future and that a certain “fix” is going to generate more fees. But some “fixes” could even backfire and create less fees, or introduce bugs, or damage the incentive structure.

The Bitcoin fee market a couple decades out will primarily be a function of adoption or lack thereof. In a world of eight billion people, only a couple hundred million can do an on chain transaction per year, or a bit more with maximal batching. The number of people who could do a monthly transaction is 1/12th of that number. In order to be concerned that bitcoin fees will be too low to prevent censorship in the future, we have to start with the assumption that not many people use bitcoin decades out.

Fedwire has about 100x the gross volume that Bitcoin currently does, with a similar number of transactions. What will Bitcoin’s fee market be if volumes go up 5x or 10x, let alone 50x or 100x? Who wants to raise their hand with a confident model of what bitcoin volumes will be in 2040?

What will someone pay to send a ten million dollar equivalent on chain settlement internationally? $100 in fees per million dollar settlement transaction would be .01%. $300 to get it in a quicker block would be 0.03%. That type of environment can generate tens of billions of dollars of fees annually. The fees that people pay to ship millions of dollars of gold long distances, or to perform a real estate transaction worth millions of dollars, are extremely high. Even if bitcoin is a fraction of that, it would be high by today’s standards. And in a world of billions of people, if nobody wants to pay $100 to send a million dollar settlement bearer asset transaction, then that’s a world where not many people use bitcoin period.

In some months the “security budget” concern trends. In other months, the “fees will be so high that only rich people can transact on chain” concern trends. These are so wildly contradictory and the fact that both are common concerns shows how little we know about the long term future.

I don’t think the fee market can be fixed by gimmicks. Either the network is desirable to use in a couple decades or it’s not. If 3 or 4 decades into bitcoin’s life it can’t generate significant settlement volumes, and gets easily censored due to low fees, then it’s just not a very desirable network at that point for one reason or another.

Some soft forks like covenants can be thoughtfully considered for scaling and fee density, and it’s good for smart developers to always be thinking about low risk improvements to the network that the node network and miners might have a high consensus positive view toward over time. But trying to rush VC-backed softforks, and using security budget FUD to push them, is pretty disingenuous imo.

Anyway, good morning.
