 People don't want to/are too scared to look under the hood. There's a reason we call it the orange pill.

 I never used a fitbit or similar because I think they are privacy nightmares. I'm also not a big ...

 I like my Garmin. Privacy doesn't seems same as phone or better. What annoys me is that you can only use Garmin pay and Garmin appstore. You can write apps for it but some features, including NFC, are locked. A open source wearable with NFC I would buy in a second. And then be turning it into a bolt card for lightning payments.

 If you won't talk to normies about Bitcoin or NOSTR, who will?

Step up.

 Muting shitcoiners on #nostr has given me the patience to deal with them IRL.

 To be honest, I think the bitcoin ETF is the most boring thing about bitcoin right now. Whenever ...

 Couldn't agree more Lyn. The most important thing is that people everywhere are getting value for their days work, and that it has some guarantee of value in the future.

 Fwiw my take on this #bitcoin pump is that it's just a bit of a shift in sentiment combined with smashing some shorts. Lots of people have complete belief in bitcoin as SoV and the bedrock of some future monetary system but they're also willing to wait on the sidelines rather than drop every spare dollar/euro/pound into sats, and the threat of an etf driven megapump making corn more expensive has moved the fomo slider. Can go the other way (though I don't think it will).

Stay humble. Stack sats. Keep building.

Tbh if you see BTC as a way of making you rich rather than bringing a non-corrupt medium of exchange and store of value to millions, and increasing the quality of life for billions by bringing more people into a fairer financial system, then you're missing the point anyway.

 I always forget to post on here and I'm fairly sure nobody follows me. But look at this! Zap me if you can see the enterprise.
