 “Fiat behaves like methane, quietly expanding, inflation grows until your purchasing power is gone. Bitcoin stops the buildup.” 
 I told a family member on October 10th to buy some Bitcoin at $59K, but they said it was too expensive. I explained that they don’t need to buy a whole coin—they can purchase sats (fractions of a Bitcoin, with 100 million sats equaling one Bitcoin). They responded by asking, “What about other cryptos?” to which I replied, “Bitcoin only.” 👇🏽

Today, #Bitcoin hit $70K, meaning they could have seen a potential 17% gain, even if they had bought just $5 worth—an amount I gave them freely to help them start their journey.

You can’t help everyone. 
 They will be buying it when they hear it on CNN at 750k

Saying studies of shown those who buy bitcoin now are not only smart individuals but can make financial gains in the short and near term. 
 Facts brother. Every one gets at price they deserve 
 “Fiat is like a slow gas leak, unnoticed at first, but inflation builds until your wealth vanishes. Bitcoin is your safeguard.” 
 Get you at least 0.01 #Bitcoin and become a Satoshi millionaire 

These #Sats will continue to grow in Value https://image.nostr.build/931117c24bb7a913f2f0e084a12aacbb7e9fd64938e1e913815b47c16c8210e1.jpg

 Hey take me to the Lord haha 
 I’ve practiced a little Qi Gong and Tai Chai for which is a bit of a different arm form but yea i definitely need some of that too. I rather have Buddha ears instead of Cauliflower haha. 
 Haha it just analogies and allegories. Buddha was an awakened soul and his ears can be showed as deep inner wisdom as he listened to the audible life stream which many religions call “Word”, “Naam”, “Shabd”, “Kalma”, etc…

You listen to the inner sound and it takes you into the beyond with deep lifelong practice that is.

 I can never connect alby to Damus. It always says it’s connected but I can never truly set up my wallet 
 It always saying finish activating your wallet and then I redo the connection process and the same thing happens again and again so I just gave up. 
 Platform ? 

I have it downloaded on my iPhone 
 Hmmm so what do I do with zap.army 
 Can you try zapping me please to test it out. 
 Awesome it worked. I’ll send back 
 Thanks for the help 
 Ecash on Bitcoin enables digital payments that preserve your privacy, just like physical cash.

N... 
 Don’t you still have to rely on a 3rd party rugging. Of course same fate with lightning too but still.

Just a question not bashing. 
 I used it to weeks ago. If was seamless just was wondering on the peeps running the mint. 
 Thank you 
 Self Custody is a must 
 Most of the luxuries, and many of the so called comforts of life, are  not only not indispensable, but positive hinderances to the elevation  of mankind. With respect to luxuries and comforts, the wisest have  ever lived a more simple and meagre life than the poor. The ancient  philosophers, Chinese, Hindoo, Persian, and Greek, were a class than  which none has been poorer in outward riches, none so rich in  inward. We know not much about them. It is remarkable that we  know so much of them as we do. 

The same is true of the more  modern reformers and benefactors of their race. None can be an  impartial or wise observer of human life but from the vantage ground  of what we should call voluntary poverty. Of a life of luxury the fruit  is luxury, whether in agriculture, or commerce, or literature, or art.  There are nowadays professors of philosophy, but not philosophers.  Yet it is admirable to profess because it was once admirable to live.  

To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even  to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its  dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust. It  is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but  practically. The success of great scholars and thinkers is commonly a  courtier-like success, not kingly, not manly. They make shift to live  merely by conformity, practically as their fathers did, and are in no  sense the progenitors of a nobler race of men. But why do men  degenerate ever? What makes families run out? What is the nature of  the luxury which enervates and destroys nations? Are we sure that  there is none of it in our own lives?

 Wild stuff indeed brother. 

Like we “approved” your transfer 

Bitcoin be like your transfer has “confirmed”

Big difference in approved vs confirmed

 We've made 10,000 sats just by monitoring zaps ⚡️. You can earn sats on Nostr by providing value 
 Hmm I just wish I could see my notifications again. Its been stuck in circles for days 
 My black and brown brothers let me know you are here in this space of decentralized finance #bitcoin & decentralized social media #nostr 

Comment for Zaps 🙌🏽 
 Zapped 420 sats 
 The past few days my notifications tab looks like this with no solution. 

Definitely need help but funny thing is if you were to reply to this note to offer help I wouldn’t get the notification. I would have to look at it on Damus but I just gel with Primal more, except in this instance.

 Hello #asknostr I’m still having trouble 
 How is Coinos even a thing. To withdraw you got to pay like 70% of your Sat balance in fees (not exactly but still very high).
