Here is an example applied to myself of why not to trade.

For this reason I have commented many times that I don't like to show charts, because time ends up leaving you bad.

I have spent more than half my life dedicated to investments on a personal basis, and if I have learned anything, it is that the investor makes money, the trader loses everything and the dead are usually the richest.

Here are some other tips that I have learned over the last 20 years:
- Only US indices.
- Big tech stocks.
- Bitcoin cancels all of the above.
- DCA and HODL, it's unbeatable, no matter how you look at it.

In truth we are not done yet, now the conflict seems to be escalating to Iran and Yemen, we have to wait and see what the US moves.


Nostr is my blog 😂 I just express my deepest thoughts, I have no fucking clue about climatology just like so many things.

But common sense tells me that if we are not able to predict a category 5 hurricane in less than 24 hours, I highly doubt we will even be able to predict the weather 1 year from now, as to venture decades.

Stop watching the news and weather and focus on accumulating #Bitcoin.

The Obama administration uses more bombs than all those used during the Persian Gulf War, Afghanistan and Vietnam to bomb Libya, Afghanistan, Somalia, Pakistan, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, and sponsored the various Arab Springs and the killings in Crimea and the Maidan.

Obama was awarded the Nobel peace prize.


9/11 was a psyops operation to make the West hate the Muslim world and allow itself to attack them without qualms and the collective conscience to feel no guilt.

Think about it, we have gone to their countries, bombed them, destroyed their homes, killed their children and women, what do you expect? That they love us?

Now European countries are accepting Muslim immigration, what do you expect after all that has happened?

Is there a solution to this? I don't know, but the politicians have put us in a big trouble.

Kraken & IRS 😂

We are reaching out to inform you of a recent court order requiring us to share some of our clients’ information with the IRS.

What’s the background for this?

In May 2021, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a summons to Kraken demanding that we produce a wide range of records and data relating to our U.S. clients. Since one of Kraken’s guiding principles has always been maintaining our clients' security and privacy, we objected to the IRS’s demands and fought the summons in court.

After a lengthy litigation process, Kraken convinced the court to substantially reduce the number of clients affected and the amount of client data it would have to produce. However, the court ordered Kraken to produce profile information and transaction histories for clients who exceeded $20,000 in transactions during any single year from 2016 to 2020.

What this means for you:

The court order requires us to produce information regarding your account, specifically your:

Name
Date of birth
Tax ID
Address
Contact information
Transaction history for 2016 to 2020.
Kraken expects to share this information covered by the court’s order in early November 2023.

For your reference, the court’s judgment can be found here. The case was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Case No. 3:23-mc-80029-JCS.

In addition, please note that because Kraken received a summons dated May 11, 2021, and more than six months passed before our challenges to the summons were resolved by the court, the period of limitations under sections 6501 and 6531 of the Internal Revenue Code (title 26 of the U.S. Code) were suspended beginning as of November 11, 2021, which will continue through the final resolution of Kraken’s response to the summons following the court’s order. This may be relevant to the tax returns that you have filed for the 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 calendar years. If you have questions about your tax liability for those years, we strongly encourage you to consult with your tax advisor.

Feminism has been transformed into a means of indoctrination to separate men and women, there is nothing left of feminism in today's demands.

The current feminists are simply idiots who do not even know that feminism was in its beginnings a libertarian movement and not a socialist movement.

Did you know that in 1895 Argentina had the highest GDP per capita in the world?

With the arrival of Peronism in 1945, the Constitution was changed from a liberal model to disregard the inviolability of private property, within the framework of a fascism inspired by the Italian model of Benito Mussolini.

The rest is history, everything that fascism touches, as well as socialism, withers.

Socialism, communism and fascism are different sides of the same coin, antagonistic to libertarianism, all these movements are economically socialist.


What do feminism and communism have in common?

That both are cured with money.

for spanish speakers, a must listen: how fiat money are created? with your own signature.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpQmr2nfcIQ


This is the key, without a doubt.


In fact they have already done so with bitcoin futures contracts, currently the bitcoin futures market is much larger than the spot market.

But with futures contracts you can't buy tangible goods. You need to exchange it for Fiat, if we weaken fiat to such an extent that it is shit like in Venezuela, the wealth created through the futures markets that are quoted in fiat money will be of little value to them.


With war profit you can never end, where there is profit there is trade, whatever it is.

But you can end the free financing of war at the expense of citizens.

The gold standard was abolished for the first time in the short history of the US in 1913 which started the first great war, the rest is history. We have had the bloodiest wars in history since then, simply because they can be financed by the entire productive power of an entire country without the permission of its citizens.


No, with a hard patron of money, the possibilities of financing wars and keeping half the world under their feet are over.


The Palestinians are not hamas and the Israelis are not the state of Israel.

You spend your life working to get this shit.

For a moment put yourself in the shoes of the ordinary people who are losing everything.

If you want to protest against this shit that is war, you can do it, take away the states money power, make Bitcoin your bank and when the state knocks on your door to ask for your Bitocoin to finance wars, tell them to fuck off.

The robustness of a cryptographic protocol is based on knowing what the algorithm does, making it public and being tested, like a peer review but in real life.

The more times a cryptographic protocol has been tried to be attacked and failed, the more valid it is to be used in production.

Right now there are accusations that the NSA and NIST are hiding the development of new post-quantum cryptographic protocols.

"Daniel Bernstein at the University of Illinois Chicago says that the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is deliberately obscuring the level of involvement the US National Security Agency (NSA) has in developing new encryption standards for “post-quantum cryptography” (PQC). He also believes that NIST has made errors – either accidental or deliberate – in calculations describing the security of the new standards. NIST denies the claims."

“NIST isn’t following procedures designed to stop NSA from weakening PQC,” says Bernstein. “People choosing cryptographic standards should be transparently and verifiably following clear public rules so that we don’t need to worry about their motivations. NIST promised transparency and then claimed it had shown all its work, but that claim simply isn’t true.”

The key here is that NIST will approve them for use in industry, industry will accept them because oh my god, the quantum age has arrived, and they will discard secure algorithms for insecure and poorly tested algorithms, a perfect strategy.

Quantum computing is currently a fallacy just like fusion energy, it is just a public money grabber.

On the other hand, it was recently discovered in the snowden papers that Cavium, which was then one of the main manufacturers of cryptographic coprocessors for VPN devices, had a backdoor introduced by the NSA in its chips, these chips were used for years by most manufacturers such as CISCO.

And some still recommend hardware wallets with secure elements that are closed source 😂.

Robust cryptography can only and only be opensource, you understand? from the beginning to the end.


Isn't it beautiful...it seems that things that are true go unnoticed by most people.

The "Bitcoin long term power law" model has held firm since the day it was formulated.

Two conclusions of the model:

1. The price will reach $100.000 per bitcoin no earlier than 2021 and no later than 2028. After 2028, the price will never drop below $100.000.

2. The price will reach $1.000.000 per bitcoin no earlier than 2028 and no later than 2037. After 2037, the price will never drop below $1.000.000.

In the model you also see many other interesting things, like the covid crash, where everyone was scared, the price didn't even touch the floor of the model.

Before paying attention to the absurd figures of your favorite influencer, check the Bitcoin long term power law model and ask yourself where we are.

It's not just a dollar thing.

In fact, the dollar and the Swiss franc are the currencies that have lost the least purchasing power in the last 50 years. That is, in the rest of the currencies it is still much worse.

If you want to see for yourself, do a weekly dca for 40 years on an index like the sp500, gold, commodities, adjusted a little below inflation, since your salary does not grow at the same level, and you will be surprised with the money you get to retirement.

Any FIAT currency devalues over time.


No? argue it


The secret of finance is to understand the secret of the system, or rather the scam of the system.

Since FIAT money printing has infinity, any value tends to go up.

Nowadays it is very easy since you can invest in a specific index.

But there is another better method, investing in very scarce assets, unfalsifiable and with limited supply.

Keep your savings in FIAT and have the chart attached but inverted, teach your kids the scam of the system and never save in FIAT, get out of the rat race.

Young

You are young, you have no house, no car, no right to start a family, your own parents, your parents' friends, your parents' enemies, the politicians, all those boomers have mortgaged your future.

They tell you it's your fault because you pay a Netflix fee and travel once a year eating in cheap restaurants, but it's a lie, for boomers working was an obligation, for you a privilege.

Boomers are the generation that have screwed everything up with their uneducated, intellectually lazy, always assuming the pre-established and obviating critical thinking. They are the weak men who have created hard times.

Although I have bad news, you are not yet the generation of strong men, but there is still time.

Strong men are those who put all their passion into anything from tightening a screw to creating a new protocol for transferring money between peers.

Strong men are those who overcome laziness and study day by day, and train day by day, strive for perfection, don't give up and try to be self-sufficient.

Strong men are those who assume sacrifice as part of their raison d'être.

Life is not just about working, watching TV and paying taxes as your parents taught you, life is much more than that. Life is fighting for higher causes, for justice, for honor, for peace, for honesty, for yourself and for your loved ones.

What do I know, I'm just an old bitcoiner who never had the help of anyone, rather the opposite, I had to carve a future, and always pull epic to get it, live like a warrior, behave like a warrior and you will end up being a warrior.

My moral obligation until the day I am no longer in this world is to awaken consciences and create Bitcoiners, I am not looking for anything else, and if you ask me for advice in addition to the ones I have given, I will tell you:

Bitcoin should not be seen as an investment, Bitcoin should be seen as a way to take away the power of money from the government, the power to finance itself.

We are not playing with an investment, we are playing with the future of the world.

I don't value properties where the title of ownership is given by the government, those properties are not good for shit, they can confiscate them whenever they want, it has reached a point where only Bitcoin is useful, think about it.

by @FinanceLancelot

"Conspiracy theory" time 👇
Phase 1: Russia
Phase 2: Middle East
Phase 3: China

Phase 1: Tie up Russia in the north so they're unable to support their allies in the Middle East

Phase 2: Pivot away from Russia leaving Europe to hold the bag.

Provide strategic air support for Israel's invasion. Claim you can't commit ground troops because you've drained your Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) & all ammo supplies for Ukraine.

Iran retaliates against the U.S. by "cyber attacking" critical infrastructure, galvanizing the public in retaliation against Iran. Blame them for causing the stock market crash & banking system collapse.

Phase 3: Pivot to China providing naval support for all allies in the region, boxing them in after having destroyed their Belt and Road Initiative through the middle east.

The entire world is at war & you've rebuilt your manufacturing base by selling all the weapons. This is exactly what the U.S. did from 1939-1944.

This also saves the U.S. from the worst effects of the depression unleashed on the rest of the world, ensuring they recover first.

If they manage to implement it, it will be the biggest bitcoin breakthrough since its creation.


That is not the point.

It's about the fact that we can now have drivechains without modifying the code and with all the security of the bitcoin network and without relying on miners.

An example is for example to build a protocol like monero on bitcoin.

And the fun is that we can keep the bitcoin code untouched and secure.

We can implement all the functions we want without altering the code.

By Sam Parker

To reiterate, Bitcoin is now as Turing Complete as any other chain, and this requires zero changes to Bitcoin.

It’s become a canon maxi talking point that Turing Complete = Bad. This is silly for a number of reasons.

Firstly nothing in our reality will ever be TRULY Turing Complete, because the technical definition of Turing Complete actually requires an UNBOUNDED runtime, and we just don’t have an unbounded amount of space and time to accommodate for that.

Along the way a small cabal of script hackers such as
@robin_linus
 and
@super_testnet
 have figured out how to hack in all of the functionality we would want from a generalized computer into Bitcoin’s extremely limited OP set, so the only thing that has kept Bitcoin’s VM from being as Turing complete as something like Ethereum’s was not a matter of expressivity, but simply a matter of Runtime, with the most stringent limitation being the stack size limit.

All BitVM does is allow us to split the runtime of some logic that would be out of bounds of a single transaction ACROSS MULTIPLE TRANSACTIONS. That’s it. We aren’t adding any new semantic features, we just are exponentially increasing the length of the programs we can run.

So Bitcoin really isn’t any more Turing Complete by the technical definition as it was before, it simply has been given a runtime to its programs that we can reasonably say it’s “Turing complete enough” for any program that we could realistically want to execute.

Secondly this is the best thing possible for ossification. Why add in an Opcode when Bitcoin can already simulate any opcode imaginable? The debate now shifts to features to increase efficiency, privacy, security and not about features. Adding in this kind of functionality actually REDUCES risk for Bitcoin, precisely because it reduces the need for it to change in the future.

Thirdly being able to have satisfaction of arbitrary logical constraints means that you can cut out all kinds of trusted or semi-trusted escrow services that a version of Bitcoin without this requires. Congestion control/Coinjoin aggregators, sidechain quorums, certain types of DLC oracle type stuff all can go from trusted/semi trusted to 100% trustless. Bitcoin’s trustlessness is only as strong as the weakest link in the interaction you are engaging in with it. Oh and it means that Drivechains are unnecessary.

Finally this is opt-in. If you don’t trust your coins being locked to some Turing complete contract (totally reasonable) then don’t lock them to a Turing complete smart contract. One of beauties of the UTXO system is security sandboxing.

If people really feel strongly that Bitcoin shouldn’t have this functionality, perhaps for issues of incentives or something, that’s a conversation that should be had, but basically it would require ripping out Taproot, which seems very dumb at this point.

Freedom, Sancho, is one of the most precious gifts that the heavens have given to men; with it the treasures that the earth contains and the sea conceals cannot be equaled: for freedom, as well as for honor, one can and should venture one's life.

La libertad, Sancho, es uno de los más preciados dones que a los hombres dieron los cielos; con ella no pueden igualarse los tesoros que encierra la tierra ni el mar encubre: por la libertad, así como por la honra, se puede y debe aventurar la vida.

WAR

As a totally convinced anarcho-capitalist I find it ridiculous to support either side in a war. War is created by governments, if you support one side, you are only supporting a government, supporting one of the parties and ignoring the crimes committed by the party you support.

War is the worst act of the human being, in wars brothers are killed between brothers, children and women are killed, and women are raped by both sides, in war nothing is respected.

It is before a war when you have to think with reason and not with the heart, if you are in a war territory flee you and your family, your mission is to protect them, never fight, never fight for a government, life is the most precious good we have.

Kill if you have to protect your family, but never kill in the name of the government, don't be a puppet, don't be part of their despicable plans.

#Bitcoin helps you to protect yourself also from wars, on the one hand, your government cannot create Bitcoins to finance itself and it is practically impossible for them to seize them, on the other hand if you live in a hot territory, consider having most of your wealth in Bitcoin to be able to flee without problems.

Whether you are Palestinian, whether you are Israeli, whether you are Ukrainian, Russian, or from any nation at war, do not fight for your government, your government does not give a shit about you, you are just gunpowder to fuel the fire, the children of your politicians do not go to war, your politicians do not go to war, while you die, while your children and women die, the politicians are so quiet in their air-conditioned office eating caviar and drinking champagne while fucking whores.

A country is the private property of its inhabitants and it is its inhabitants who must decide whether they want immigration or not.

Open borders are a stupidity of the woke ideology and of some misinformed liberals.

Words of Murray Rothbard:

"A totally privatized country would be as "closed" as the particular inhabitants and property owners desire. It seems clear, then, that the regime of open borders that exists de facto in the U.S. really amounts to a compulsory opening by the central state, the state in charge of all streets and public land areas, and does not genuinely reflect the wishes of the proprietors."

Words of Hans-Hermann Hoppe:

"Clearly, under this scenario there exists no such thing as freedom of immigration. Rather, there exists the freedom of many independent private property owners to admit or exclude others from their own property in accordance with their own unrestricted or restricted property titles [...] There will be as much immigration or non-immigration, inclusivity or exclusivity, desegregation or segregation, non-discrimination or discrimination based on racial, ethnic, linguistic, religious, cultural or whatever other grounds as individual owners or associations of individual owners allow."

The reverse repo market is the canary in the mine.

Due to the QT and the increase in interest rates the demand in the reverse repo market is decreasing and with it the interest that the federal reserve pays for it.

https://m.primal.net/HMtI.png

But do you think the banking system can now return to January 2020 levels? do you see this graph? how long will the banks be able to withstand this lack of liquidity?

https://m.primal.net/HMtG.png

I think that at some point there will be a lack of liquidity in the banking system that will increase the demand of the reverse repo market and that will produce a rise in the interest paid for these (yes even more, breaking the equilibrium since at that point the FED will not be able to control the rates) and the federal reserve will have to terminate the QT.

Free money is like free drugs, first someone has to pay for it and then someone has to suffer the consequences of the addiction, although in the case of free money it is always the taxpayer who pays for the drug to give it to someone else and on top of that it is the taxpayer who suffers the consequences of the addiction.

It is like raining without getting wet.

Well said, my friend. Bitcoin's creation marked the beginning of a new era in human history, one where individuals have the power to control their own financial destiny without interference from centralized authorities.

This is indeed a war for freedom and for money. It's not just about digital coins or technology, but about reshaping our society and reclaiming our rights. A fight for dignity, autonomy and control over resources.

Staying strong physically, mentally & emotionally is crucial in this journey. Keep learning & improving yourself every day - that’s what matters most.

Perseverance is indeed key in this battle.. Stay true to the cause and keep pushing forward no matter what obstacles you encounter along the way.

Remember: This isn't a game – it's reality.
And you're not just some random player - you're an active participant shaping the future of humanity with each decision you make.
Stay strong!


War

"On January 3, 2009, the bitcoin network was created when Satoshi Nakamoto mined the initial block of the chain, known as the genesis block."

If you are not aware, since January 3, 2009, the biggest war of the last 2000 years is being fought, while some morons think about shitcoins, nft and ordinals.

We fight for freedom and for money, we fight for control of our lives, we fight for control of resources, we fight for dignity, we fight for the right to live as we please.

Take care Bitcoin, take care of your body, take care of your mind, only if you are a warrior in all aspects of your life will you be prepared to endure, to succeed, to win.

There will be times when you fall, you just have to continue as you have been, do not change, keep striving, keep fighting, perseverance is the key, you do not have to be better than others, just more perseverant.

This is not a game and you are not a clown, you are a man.

This was already successfully implemented in mercury wallet, but mercury wallet is a centralized service and charges fees for exiting the statechain, 0.5%.

https://mercurywallet.com/

I want to see how they implement mercurylayer at the protocol level and see if they want to make it a business like coinjoin or their old wallet or really contribute to the benefit of bitcoin and make it protocol in the same way as Lightning or RGB.


For the moment I would not consider drivechain because there are many new features to be exploited that theoretically solve scalability and privacy problems, I do not think that these two needs are the goal of drivechain.

- RGB
- Mercury Layer
- ARK


https://mercurylayer.com

Basically it is exchanging private keys offchain, you create a pain in the ass for companies like chainalysis because all the histories are mixed and on the other hand the transactions are instantaneous and there is no limit. It's like exchanging money in hand.


The routing and liquidity management in lightning is a pain in the ass, plus those who warned about the problem of centralization in lightning were right, not to mention that most use custodial solutions.

I honestly prefer to use a federation like Liquid rather than Lightning with all the drawbacks it has.

On the other hand I have hopes to see mercurylayer, it solves privacy and scalability problems, I want to see how far they can decentralize it.


It really is very easy. In my country it is a crime to promote a bank run, but even so, it is something that I insist to my fellow citizens, now it is easier than ever, they do not even have 1% of the deposits of customers, just a few people decided to withdraw their money would see all the shame of the system.

This was much more complicated in the 80's, but now it is very easy to provoke a bank run, the difference is that now people are tamed, people are soulless sheep.


Security in bank applications is ridiculous, any cryptocurrency exchange is much more secure.

The theft of money through SIM Swapping is increasing exponentially. This problem would be solved by allowing the use of 2fa apps as a verification method and avoiding the use of verification sms.

The whole banking system sucks, they are dinosaurs living off the rents of the past and stealing from their customers.

It has nothing to do with it.

Simplex protocol servers are mere transport agents that cannot see the messages. Simplex has more than 20 servers that are used randomly for contacts that do not have their own server, they simply make life easier for novices who do not understand the protocol, but although there would be a mega entity with a Simplex server, it is useless because the server can not even see the messages from tracing a communications network, it is totally useless.


This man has shown himself to be quite ignorant in his comments, here once again.

SimpleX does not depend on a central entity nor does it use a central coordination service, if you don't have your own Simplex server it uses Simplex servers nothing else. It's architecture is very similar to email, you can have your own mail server or use another person's or provider's mail server.

In Simplex the servers are only used to receive messages and are implicit in the contact's address. Each user has their own receiving server, it's as simple as that.

February 2023: A soft landing is possible

March 2023: Banking system is stable

September 2023: Inflation will not reach 2% until 2025

None of his statements have been correct, and yet the economy of the last 4 years revolves around his words, we cannot be more stupid as a species on earth.

The saddest thing is that their words are on purpose, and they know very well the result of all this, which is nothing more than making the rich richer and the poor poor poorer, the FIAT system scam.

In contrast to this scam, we know very well what will be the monetary policy of Bitcoin for the next 130 years.


Right now, before the ETF approval which may give us some breathing room, I think we may go to a scenario of more pain and re-test the bottom of the power law model like in 2015 and 2016.

I'm not basing this on anything, it's just a gut feeling.

Macroeconomic conditions are totally different from the cycles that have occurred over the last 100 years, it is very difficult to forecast what will happen.

I think bitcoin will grow little by little but I don't expect a massive bull run.

We are beginning the development process for transmitting Nostr events in a peer-to-peer fashion, away from relays. This will start with Gift-wrapped DMs, Private Attachments, Private zaps, Private Text Notes, and Private Reactions; and will be the preferred transmission choice if both users are online, falling back to relays when they are not. Our Push Notification system already transmitted over 500,000 GiftWrapped Nostr events that relays will never see. With a full P2P this will get even better and will open the doors for voice and video calls directly inside Amethyst. Side-stepping relays won't be easy or quick. And I am sure we will get strong pushback from relay operators. But we will get there. And while this might start as an Amethyst feature, it will be a NIP and other clients will be able to join the privacy train.

Nostr is just starting.

Are you monero fans aware that governments have enough computing power to attack your network? On the other hand, there is not enough computing power in the world to attack bitcoin, as the bitcoin network itself has become the most powerful distributed network in history.

These reasons I have given you are clearly reflected in the price of monero relative to bitcoin, I hope you understand, you should focus your efforts on making bitcoin more private.

You are welcome.

De la misma forma que si piensas que Estados Unidos es capitalista... el capitalismo como tal no existe en la actualidad.

Por eso creo que estas confundiendo términos.

El capitalismo es libertarismo y uno de los principios es la no agresión a un tercero.

Que el telediario y los voceros del estado te digan que Estados Unidos es capitalista no significa que lo sea, Estados Unidos solo fue capitalista en sus inicios.


Todos los países en la actualidad se dirigen hacia el comunismo, solo tienes que ver la cantidad de impuestos recaudados que en muchos ya pasa del 50% del pib.

Así que en la actualidad el comunismo/socialismo esta mas vivo que nunca, los estados son mas poderosos que nunca y recaudan más que nunca.

No, en el capitalismo la información de cada individuo que produce tiene valor para el mercado de la misma forma que una red de nodos descentralizadados donde todos tienen voto. El precio de los bienes y la cantidad de producción de cada bien se obtiene de la interaccion de dicha información.

En el socialismo es un ente central el que decide el precio y la cantidad de bienes producidos.

Tambien dejare claro, que hay más concentración de riqueza en el socialismo y en el comunismo. Mirar los países socialistas y comunistas, es donde más pobres hay y mientras tanto los lideres del partido son reyes que nadan en la abundancia.


No, in capitalism the information of each individual who produces has value for the market in the same way as a network of decentralized nodes where everyone has a vote. The price of goods and the quantity of production of each good is obtained from the interaction of this information.

In socialism it is a central entity that decides the price and quantity of goods produced.

I will also make it clear that there is more concentration of wealth in socialism and communism. Look at the socialist and communist countries, is where there are more poor people and meanwhile the leaders of the party are kings swimming in abundance.


No, socialism does not distribute wealth contrary to what people think. The biggest difference between rich and poor is in socialist and communist countries.


Capitalism is like a distributed network (bitcoin).

Socialism is like a centralized network (central bank).

How to use cashu to send and receive payments completely anonymously.

First of all you have to understand the custody risk, since cashu mints are custodials but the older I get the less orthodox I become in certain things, I don't care if many of you come to me with the custody risk and such, I don't care, I look for practicality and the most economical, the custody risk can be minimized by simply using the mints as gateways and never keeping the funds in them.

Let's go to them.

First of all we download the enuts application:

https://www.enuts.cash/

Since the privacy for the Lightning sender is very good we will start with the reception of funds which is the weak point of Lightning.

If someone wants to pay us over lightning, we create an enuts invoice to receive cash and we give this invoice to the sender as if it were a normal lightning invoice.

With this we get two things, the issuer the only thing that will know about us is the Lightning node of the mint that is not ours and the mint will give us cashu tokens that someone else has paid, therefore the mint will not be able to associate those tokens to our lightning node.

Now we have cashu token and it is great to pay anonymously, if we want to pay a Lightning invoice we will do it through our tokens, the receiver will at most find out that the payment comes from the mint and the mint has no idea who has made that payment.


Good morning!

My thesis that we were going to spend a long time in the 20-30 zone once we broke 30k in May 2020 is simply based on price discovery.

The 20k-30k zone had hardly any trading volume.

Now from 18k to 24k we already have a good volume base and in my opinion the zone we are in from 25k to 30k has yet to fill in a bit more.

We will continue at these prices until halving and even after halving for a while, with the exception of if they approve the Bitcoin ETF.

I also don't rule out a retest of the 20k.

The bottom line is to be patient, we are in a great time to accumulate, in a few years this time will be rewarding.

Post: it is important to see this data in the spot market and in an exchange with reliable volume as Bitfinex. It is proven that in Bitfinex the big market makers operate and many price movements are initiated there, unlike Binance where the volume is falsified.

https://m.primal.net/HKub.png


The fact that Bitcoin isn't yet accepted everywheree and for everything really underlines for me how few people have actually used Lightning. Whenever I show somebody how it works, there's always that "wow" moment. But why was it a surprise?

The problem is that normal people still understand BTC from the one half-remembered opinion piece they read in 2017, and are operating under the belief that transactions still take an hour to settle, rather than being instantaneous and irreversible — money transmission without the Paypal Problem. The public mind needs a cache refresh.

Fun fact:

Many day 0 exploits of commercial operating systems such as windows and macOS and some applications, are bugs on purpose for national intelligence agencies to exploit.

Note that in macOS x most day 0 exploits appear in applications such as iMessage which are closed source, however the core of macOS is open source, there is more difficult to sneak this kind of bugs on purpose without losing credibility.

Now more than ever it is of vital importance to use fully opensource operating systems.

"JPMorgan Chase is developing a blockchain-based digital deposit token to speed up cross-border payments."

I think they are 14 years late 😂


WE URGE EVERYONE TO UPDATE THEIR APPLE DEVICES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

We have found an actively exploited #zero #click vulnerability that was used to deliver #NSO group’s #Pegasus #spyware.

I had noticed after the splicing update fees were getting higher on Phoenix wallet, so I finally got around to testing a couple new options.

---
First up is Mutiny wallet, I'm really liking it! The Android APK is working well now if you happen to be on that OS.

I tested sending lightning payments up to 1M, using Alby, WoS, and Zeus with Olympus LSP as receiving wallets. They all worked. Fees were reasonable, ranging from 11-25 sats for the 1M sat transfers.

---
I also set up the Zeus integrated lightning node, Olympus. I like the Zeus interface, I use it as a front end for Alby on my phone.

Zeus had trouble sending larger payments. I wasn't able to send over 250K in my tests today, once again testing with WoS, Alby, and Mutiny as receiving wallets. Fees were a bit higher as well, 84 sats consistently for a 250K transfer.

---
nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg and nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 are still in beta, so your mileage may vary, here be dragons, etc. Both are much better in respect to fees than Phoenix is currently. I have decently large channels open in both now, so I will be able to continue testing more in the future. I can't wait to see what they build going forward!

Good morning!

Bienvenido!


I don't know how they are going to implement it, but at the time nostr:npub1u8lnhlw5usp3t9vmpz60ejpyt649z33hu82wc2hpv6m5xdqmuxhs46turz commented that it was a coinswap, for practical purposes the same as Bitcoin Teleport or Mercury.

That is, you exchange an utxo for the utxo of another person, which changes the history of your transactions.

This has its advantages and disadvantages. While it is true that you do not eliminate the history of the coin as with coinjoin, it is also true that it is undetectable to the eyes of a third party observing the chain and improves fungibility with respect to a coinjoin since coinjoin coins are easily detectable and therefore censurable by services such as exchanges.


Sound of Freedom
-------------------

Having recently watched the film "Sound of Freedom," I can assert that it is an impactful and thought-provoking movie. As a father, the storyline is horrifying: the theft and abuse of a child is a parent's worst nightmare. As a Christian, the depiction of mankind's depravity is a sobering reflection of our world's darker realities.

Based on true events, this movie presents a stark counter-narrative to critics who deceptively argue that "things aren't that bad." Such dismissal is laughable in the face of the real-life horrors that have been documented by so many.

Critics largely target this movie because it brings forth uncomfortable truths about issues such as transgenderism and drag shows targeted at children. These performances are taking place in elementary schools, not nursing homes. The association with children is an unsettling aspect of the narrative for proponents of the transgender movement, challenging their ideological stances. The criticism of the movie is a pre-emptive strike against this very obvious association.

It's crazy that we're starting to get pushback against rescuing children from sex trafficking, but that's where we are. Woke ideology is a very demanding god.


😂 I like your comment, but don't forget that all politicians are shit, they are just thieves who want to live off our money and fortify the institution of thieves, the state.


No


Just because I call it Freedom does not mean it is Freedom, just because the system calls it democracy does not mean it is democracy.

It is easy to check as I tell you by checking it with benevolent dictators. If we have less Freedom and if we pay more taxes than with a benevolent dictator, how can we call the western system democracies?


Your problem is that you think that the current democracies is like the classical Greek democracy. In today's democracy your only freedom is to vote every 4 years.

You are just a pawn of the system that has no right to anything, work, pay taxes and shut up.


Now it turns out that climate change causes inflation, I have always said that Bitcoin is a way to protect against these psychopaths and the morons who believe them.

This is a special guide, for all those bitcoiners looking to escape from tyranny and go to El Salvador.

The guide is a reply to the latest news about US Senators Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming have introduced Senate Bill 884, also known as “Improving Digital Identity Act of 2023.”

If this bill passes both chambers and is signed into law, it will require all Americans to have a valid digital ID.

IF they want to connect to the internet, open and maintain a bank account, obtain a passport, and gain access to medical care.

I hope you will enjoy it 😂😂😂😂

https://telegra.ph/file/c632addd0dd830958f8cf.png


Bitcoin architecture

We could treat the Bitcoin architecture analogously to the memory levels of a PC.

We all know that the data written in the ram memory is susceptible to be lost if we suffer a power outage, but that does not prevent us from using it to our advantage. Data is loaded from the hard disk into the ram memory and this in turn is loaded into the processor cache memory when necessary, and in the same way when that data has to be persistent, it is downloaded back through the different layers of memory to the hard disk.

If we want to use Bitcoin intelligently we should do the same, being aware of the problems we have in each layer or in each technology, since in this case both Liquid and Lightning belong to layer 2.

I don't think brc-20 tokens will create a permanent congestion of the mempool, we are already seeing the mempool slowly emptying, but we have to be prepared for when a major adoption comes and block space are a precious resource, bitcoin was designed this way, it is not a bug, it is its design so that miners can subsist without the block subsidy and be able to keep the network secure.

Some examples of smart usage:

In a high fee environment for example if you run out of bitcoin over lightning and don't want to rely on an Exchange kyc to reload the channel, you will need to send bitcoin on chain to open a channel or to make a swap with the cost involved. If instead you have an intermediate pool of L-BTC (Liquid) you can get LN-BTC with Boltz and recharge your channel with a ridiculous cost of 0.1% and the Liquid fee is insignificant, it is only 100 satoshis.

On the other hand if you want to download accumulated balance from Lightning to Bitcoin in a high fee environment, you can transfer it to your Liquid cold storage that although we could argue that it is not self-custody as Lightning to be federated (if you use lightning without custody because there are not many) is still much safer than having it in an Exchange and from my point of view safer than having it in a Lightning online node, also risking a forced closure of a channel and being charged $ 200 as has happened these days.

In a high fee environment it is also better to accumulate your weekly dca in Liquid to avoid high fees and have bitcoin in your custody, again understanding that Liquid is a federation and does not have the same security as Bitcoin in your custody.

Finally, take advantage when fees are low to transfer your bitcoin holdings to the Bitcoin network or reload the Liquid network.

https://telegra.ph/file/dbe9b86bd0be50619747c.png

It all comes down to understanding the different layer 2 technologies and using them to your advantage knowing their flaws and virtues.


How to operate in a high fee environment:

Level 1 - Lightning Network
Level 2 - Liquid Network (Cold Storage or 2fa multisig)
Level 3 - Bitcoin Cold Storage

Depending on the amount of money we go from level 1 to level 3.

To make the transformation between levels:

LN-BTC to L-BTC (https://liquid.boltz.exchange) (0,1% commission)

L-BTC to BTC (https://sideswap.io) (0,1% commission)

In addition, we gain a lot of privacy in the whole process.


This is said to be the last photo of Julian Assange, one of the original Cypherpunks, a person of integrity and a person I have always admired.

Maybe some of you only know Julian from Wikileaks, but he was a computer genius, a true Cypherpunk. He was co-author of Rubberhorse, the precursor of TrueCrypt, developer of FreeBSD and PostgreSQL, he also wrote one of the first port scanners, Strobe, if not the first, and hacked the MILNET network (secret data network used by the US military), among many other things, surely one of the best hackers in history.

Why do you think he founded Wikileaks? Because he knew all the miseries of governments.

Julian has given his life for freedom, truth and justice, he does not deserve to end up like this.

What can we do? I don't know, but it seems that without violence nothing is achieved.

Test


If you are right, I am strictly based on the ideals of the movie v for vendetta and its dystopian future that is not so far away than the present day.


Your data is correct, so it seems to be a problem with Damus.

Can I get data on which relays are using your relay to read?


The proxy is also used for contacts in the case of filter.nostr.wine, in fact you can test it by putting only that relay and you will get many contacts.

relay.nostr.band also acts as a proxy and gets contacts but it limits the query.


#[3]

I forgot this detail, relay.nostr.band seems to have a limit in the contact query, that's why I use it as a complement of filter.nostr.wine, however it seems to read all the events.


It is predefined and changes according to the developers' criteria. You can find info here:

I am a time traveler.

Satoshi sent me to the past to warn you of what is happening in a dystopian future.

CBDCs were implanted and accepted by the majority of the population, after this, everyone on the planet received subcutaneous implants with the threat of having their CBDC balances cancelled. A world government dictates what you can eat, where you can move, who you can talk to and what you can think, all controlled by these implants.

The birth rate has dropped to 0, most of the population has been sterilized and only an elite are allowed to have children under the supervision of the world government.

Satoshi is still alive, when he died he received a cryogenic treatment and years later he was revived. Satoshi taught me everything I know and gave me a mission, to warn you of what was happening and try to convince as many people as possible to embrace the religion of Bitcoin, the religion of freedom and liberate the world from oppressive tyrants.

He gave me three tools, Nostr, the memes, and Bitcoin, all in exchange for my hair, time travel meant losing my luxuriant scalp, I had to pay a high price, being bald.

The last words Satoshi said to me before embarking on this long journey were:

"Post as much shit as you can".

https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/getting-started-with-blixt-mobile


storage is cheap, but transferring large amounts of data can be very expensive and in some places not possible

increased bandwidth requirements also make it much more difficult to use Tor and naturally lead to more centralization, both nodes and miners

Tienes las fantásticas guías de #[3] en español.

https://darthcoin.substack.com/s/espanol


Pensions and europe

The pension systems in Europe are a pyramid scheme and I will prove it to you.

For the pension system to be sustainable it needs at least the average number of children per couple to be higher than 2. This means that most couples must have 3 children, which means that the population has to be constantly growing.

This meets the requirements of a pyramid scheme, Madoff would be proud.

When the equation breaks down, i.e. when not enough new members enter the system, the scam collapses. In the case of Europe the average number of children per couple is barely 1.5 which means that the population is decreasing, this generates a huge deficit in the pension system to the point of making it unsustainable.

In most European countries you are not paying your pension, you are paying the pension of current retirees, another characteristic of pyramid schemes.

In conclusion, before 2040 most of the European pension systems will fail, you will not receive a pension or your pension will not even be enough to buy bread.

But luckily I have a solution, save in Bitcoin.

**Amethyst is nearly my perfect *native* Android client for Nostr**

Over the last month I've tested out over a half dozen different Android apps for Nostr. Each week, I would be incredibly impressed with their progress, write a weekly recap of their features and enhancements, but in the end none of them were able to be used as a daily driver.

A long last, our **global nightmare** has come to an end. Amethyst was released to the Google Play Store for the world to download and install on January 25, 2023. Having a Nostr client running on Android means tapping into the largest market on the planet. **Roughly 75% of the world uses Android** on their smartphone. With Amethyst, Nostr was now able to be used by the masses.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitorpamplona.amethyst

Amethyst is very smooth and fluent throughout the application, something other apps or even web clients are lacking. Amethyst comes with native image uploading, meaning you don't have to go and upload your image elsewhere, copy the link, and then find your way back to the app. Amethyst utilizes the popular Imugr.com image service for hosting.

Amethyst also boasts **link preview**, showing rich snippets for links that are included in posts. This is something that has become standard on social networks like Facebook or Twitter over the years. It's definitely a nice quality of life enhancement, in my opinion.

One feature that I don't use on other clients, because it's not included, are Public channels. Not all clients display these properly or even not at all, but they work like Telegram channel. They allow users to form a public group or collection of posts around the same topic.

As a power user with many relays, I'll say that most clients are slow and laggy for me. Astral and Snort are great clients and I still use them daily. Snort is my absolute favorite. I often switch back and forth between the two, because some features work better for me on Astral, such as DMs. On Snort, my DMs are very slow and mostly broken. This is a Derek issue though. On Amethyst, my DMs just work. I'm very happy to see them working as intended.

Amethyst is nearly perfect. There are three features that I use daily that this Nostr client does not include, at least at this time.

* NIP-05 display
* Lightning on posts and profiles
* Markdown

NIP-05 display is important to me, not because I founded NostrPlebs.com, but for identification. I believe this is very important for the community as a whole. I'm spoiled by Snort's implementation, seeing pretty NostrPlebs.com users throughout my feed. Besides this, every client out there shows this. It's commonplace and expected.

Lightning on posts and profiles is equally important. Nearly the entire Nostr community at this time is composed of Bitcoiners. Lightning integration allows us to use Nostr as a **Value 4 Value economy**, zapping, tipping, or paying users for their content and their contributions has become a way of life over the past month.

Markdown may not be important to everyone, but in my long form posts, such as this one, I like to include bold, italics, and bulleted lists. Most popular clients include these things.

For now, I'll most likely be using Snort while at home on my desktop or laptop, but when I'm mobile, my go to client of choice will no longer be a web client. I'll be using Amethyst.

*Things to report in a week: data usage and battery life comparisons.*

No, the original node must be EmbassyOS, although if you are interested there is a procedure to migrate from umbrel.


Tip Bitcoin Node/Lightning/Thunderhub/LNBits

If you don't have a raspberry and you don't have a specific computer or you want to isolate yourself from the hardware, you can mount EmbassyOS(start9) in a virtual machine. With gnome boxes it works very well but you can also use VirtualBox or any hypervisor you can think of. It is convenient that the hypervisor allows passthrough to add an external disk.

EmbassyOS allows you to add an external disk in its configuration and also has recovery tools, the data stays on this external disk and if you need to transfer the data to another virtual or physical machine with Embassy it is very easy.

I add manual with all the possibilities of recovery and transfer.

nostr is a Turing Complete network.  What does that mean?

For a programming language to be Turing Complete, it must be able to compute every possible program that every other program can compute.  That means that almost all programming languages are equally powerful.  You can build everything in one that you can in another, including an operating system

Similarly a Turing Complete network is able to program anything that any other Turing Complete network can perform.  Including a web operating system

On top of that #nostr has native taproot identity which ties into the biggest open payments network in the world, bitcoin.  That allows seamless payments, time stamping, and even smart contracts

This all means, you are only limited by the limits of your imagination.

**Why Nostr? Why decentralize?**

🔌 Decentralized communication is a **powerful** concept that allows for more freedom and autonomy in the way we communicate.

* Decentralization ensures that no single entity controls the flow of information. This eliminates the possibility of censorship and ensures that everyone has access to the same information.
* Decentralized systems are more resilient to failures and attacks. If one relay, client, or server goes down, the protocol can still function because the information is spread across multiple relays.
* Decentralized systems are more transparent and accountable. In a centralized system, it is difficult to know who is making decisions and how they are being made. In a decentralized system, everyone has a say and the decision-making process is more open.
* Decentralized systems are more efficient. They eliminate the need for intermediaries and allow for direct communication between users.

🎒 In short, decentralized communication **ensures freedom**, it's **resilient**, **transparent**, and **efficient**. All of these factors will make Nostr a superior communication system for the masses.

It is the right thing to do, for the record, I only put these graphs as a curiosity. The price of bitcoin is linked to its adoption as easy as that, more adoption equals more price. Like any other technology it follows an "S" growth curve.

And for me bitcoin is much more than a price, Bitcoin is dignity, Bitcoin is not living on your knees, Bitcoin is shouting fuck the system.

I have registered the domain nostrpurple.com for cyph3rp9nk but I am having problems. Is it possible that it is because a public key cannot have two domains? previously it already existed in nostrplebs.com.

I understand that I will have to put another public key in the old domain to avoid problems.


**NostrPlebs.com Supports Nostr Development**

Building a decentralized communication protocol has a cost, there's not only an incredible amount of development time, but a rising infrastructure cost too. We must support this community that we're so excited to participate in and that has been so supportive of our efforts over the last few weeks.

Starting today, January 6, 2023 at 7:00PM UTC and ending on January 7, 2023 at 7:00PM UTC, 50% of all NIP-05 registration fees collected during this 24 hour period will go towards the greater Nostr development community.

Tomorrow after this period ends, we will tally all of the sats that have been collected via registration fees, make the announcement here, and send them on their way.

Additionally, Nostr Plebs is also announcing the addition of two new domain names to our NIP-05 ID and services offerings. This brings our total domain offerings to five, giving our users a variety of choices when deciding upon their nostr identity.
* nostr.fan
* nostrich.zone

We thank you for your continued support and we look forward to helping the nostr community flourish. 🤙


My wife is delighted


I agree with the question


Good morning 🤙


Awesome!


Yesterday marked 1 year since I joined nostr on Fiatjafs Branle client👀 Been one hell of a year watching Nostr unfold!

It looks correct to me 🤙


*The NostrPlebs.com directory is now live!*

* Search for members.
* Copy their NIP-05 ID with just a single tap.
* Nostr Purple IDs listed first.
* Profile pictures coming soon-ish.

https://nostr.build/i/1589.jpeg

Thanks to the talented #[0], we just released the directory: an easy way to find other Nostr Plebs users.

To be listed, all you have to do is have a NIP-05 identifier from us and have it set on your profile. It should update within 10 minutes.

➡ You can access it here: http://nostrplebs.com/directory

If we don't have a feature that you'd like to see, please let us know.


WOW!!!!


At no time I am defending apple, do not misunderstand me. But as you can see apple dominates in the main markets eeuu, japan, england...not being there is less visibility.


Buenos Días :)


With SSH keys, if someone gains access to your computer/server, the attacker can gain access to every system that uses that key. To add an extra layer of security, you would add a passphrase to your SSH key.

The same is true for your 12/24 word seed recovery phrase.  This is a list of words which store all the information needed to recover Bitcoin funds on-chain.

Protect your 12/24 word seed recovery phrase with a passphrase.

12/24 words + passphrase = 🔑🧡

However, forgetting this passphrase will result in the bitcoin wallet and any contained UTXO being lost. It is therefore important that you document your passphrase and store seperate to your 12/24 word seed recovery phrase.


It works very well on macOS, the only downside is that I haven't left my office for days.


###### NostrPlebs.com Update: Features and Services added.

Please often ask what are some of the benefits of using Nostr Plebs. I've spoken of them here as they've been deployed, talked about them during Spaces, and in my DMs. I figured it was time to add a short list of all of our current features as well as our planned features to our website. This helps differentiate us between other NIP-05 registration and hosting services that have popped up over the last couple of weeks. Thanks for all of your continued support on this fun and exciting venture. We hope roll out more services soon.


How?


I totally agree with you, we must look for the simplest solution that interferes as little as possible with the Damus code, both now and in the future.


Anyway, let's not lose hope, if a tor browser like onion browser is published in the app store with all that implies, why not Damus?


Hahaha you are very big


Good Morning!!!


Hahaha I didn't know that I don't use Siri.


14 years later they still don't let you pay with Bitcoin, not even a single Bitcoin icon... don't expect that from Apple :)


This gentleman makes fantastic guides

lnurl is very easy in umbrel, just install lnbits and then lnulrp plugin, it will generate as many lnurl as you want.

Note that lnurl and lightning address is not the same, in this case lnbits also generates lightning address but you will have to have your domain.

Post: before doing anything, find out what is lnbits, in their own website you can try it without installing anything in the "demo" button.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Indeed as you say the coordinator would have the ability to add computers without your consent, I will investigate more about this, it is not good.


Good Morning Sir!


No, but the only possible option is to have the seed encrypted on your own computer or server. There is no other way.

If you follow the precaution of saving the seed in physical format, be it paper, metal or whatever, and you do not save it in digital format, it is impossible for it to be stolen unless they execute an attack against your person or find the physical key.


If all this is true, the only thing I can think of is to have the seed encrypted with symmetric key pgp. They have stolen his pgp private key and have had access to his vault.


In which countries is it available?


If the world were governed by the Bitcoin standard:

Grandpa Biden: Let's print 100 million bitcoin.

Kamala: Grandpa we have a problem.

Hay app si tienes un Mac M1 o M2.

Simplemente te instalas TestFlight y te saldrá al app que tienes en iOS.


Con Mac puedes usar Damus :)


The same thing is happening to me haha


If you need a hand with docker let me know.


Que tal Nostros? De momento no lo estoy recomendado a nadie cercano debido a la falta de un buen cliente para android.


Nostr is what Bitcoin Twitter was meant to be, decentralized communication with heavy Lightning integration.


Password 1234 is strong, hahahaha

Just to be clear, to upload it to the cloud you must have a strong password


KeePassXC rules


There is no need to trust these password companies in the Cloud.

Keepass is more than enough and if you need Cloud then you put the keepass file in the Cloud, it's as easy as that.


The power of people


Because fiatjaf released nostr as open source software individuals around the world are able to build and iterate on the protocol without permission.

Open source software is viral in nature. It spreads and grows without a company or individual controlling it. With a project like nostr still in its infancy it is amazing to watch the power of open source collaboration in action.

People love to argue about which open source license is best. Fiatjaf’s license is two words: “Public domain.”


One more day, one more Satoshi


Si, 🙏


I don't know to what extent it would be feasible to try to implement the IPFS protocol at the client level so that each client can host its own images and share them with the rest.

Two examples that we could use as a basis are:

https://github.com/TalaikisInc/ipfs-uploader


Oh wow, my relay is up to 55002 distinct pubkeys now!

Does Damus for iOS support channels? Or will he endure it in the future? Thank you for your work.
