 What are some of your fav healthy snacks that don't have any grains? 
 Banana chips in coconut oil sound bomb. Will have to try that. Maybe with a little cinnamon sprinkled on top

 I don't have any ad/marketing graphics on hand for a meetup like that, but if you're trying to build a presentation of some sort, I think these resources are pretty good. Might be able to pull some useful stuff.

 @Anil has some of the best graphics, so check these out:

There are also some good graphics, points, and charts in this Fidelity report:

If you're looking for quick bullet points refuting various FUD lines, this website is pretty good:

Learn Me A Bitcoin also has some nice beginner graphics/diagrams:

 Road trip coming up, please shill me your favorite non-bitcoin audiobooks 👇 
 I was going to suggest this too! Very interesting book in audio. 
 I'm organizing a bitcoin-focused panel discussion at the Honolulu Tech Week conference in mid-September (https://www.honolulutechweek.com) and am looking for 2-3 more bitcoiners to participate. 

This will be a great opportunity to expose people to the #bitcoin rabbit hole and inspire them to start adopting it in their daily lives.

If you or someone you know might be interested, please shoot me a DM! 
 After listening to  @Svetski and  @MartyBent on TFTC, I can't wait for a copy of  @Bushido.

We need more second-order #bitcoin content like this. Yes, bitcoin is going to make us all rich, but then what? Today's hodlers have a massive responsibility to reshape the future and be stewards of the virtues we want to see in the world.

 I'd love to get one of these or some battle ropes, but I need the space for it first.

 I was trying to test out Mutiny's LN address, but I guess it's not working. Swapped to a different one, so I think it'll work now. 
 I've honestly had a lot of issues with it. I want to like it because I like the roadmap and ethos, but I have payments fail all the time, the fedimint integration hasn't worked once for me, routes constantly fail for the LN Address, etc. I pay for Mutiny+ to support development, but Zeus is my daily driver to self-custodial LN right now. Just works more reliably for me.

 BTCPay is incredible if you put in the work, but there are simpler options. @Zaprite might be worth checking out. 

Or maybe https://swiss-bitcoin-pay.ch/

If you go the BTCPay route, I'd probably do it through @Voltage to reduce a lot of the friction.

 +1 on Arc. Mobile and desktop are great. The summarize and "browse for me" features are actually really useful.

 Aqua wallet. Thoughts? #asknostr 
 Liquid is federated, but it's an interesting way to consolidate UTXOs cheaply before you settle on-chain. Aqua itself is a good tradeoff balance for some people - interoperable with Lightning without requiring liquidity management. I consider it a decent onboarding tool for people that aren't yet ready for self-custodial LN like Phoenix, @OpenSecret , @ZEUS , etc. Avoids the upfront liquidity cost to establish a new channel.

 I've been loving Sanderson's Stormlight Archive series. Very deep & rich storytelling. Also very long.

 Fantastic convo between @TheGuySwann and Dhruv! Several concepts I hadn’t considered before. 🤔
