Good morning, Tanja! I guess that I have to wish you a nice Autumn... Schönen Herbst! (Is this even correct?! 🤷) ☕


It's all it takes.


Good morning, Gigi! Be happy!


Kind of: Metal heads are good people cosplaying as bad people, hippies are bad people cosplaying as good people.


Morning, Joe!


Good morning, Fish! ☕


They already work better, see Ukraine.


Newbie question:

What's the most efficient way that you use to move sats on-chain from Lightning? But no Wallet of Satoshi or anything KYC.

Many thanks in advance!

#asknostr


If they want to kill you, you need a lot more than a 9 mm.


Jordan Peterson, is this you?


Well, let's create a Boobcoin movement. It's not a shitcoin or anything like that, you just come for the boobs but stay for the Bitcoin. 🤷 What can go wrong?! Get some sats.


Good morning and Pura Vida, Derek! I think we should be bullish no matter what the price does. Price up, we afford more stuff. Price down, we afford more Bitcoin and, at a later stage, even more stuff.


Good morning, Max! Have a nice weekend!


Stupid question time... Is the guy on the right Boris Becker?! At first, I thought he was Erik Prince. 🤦


Do you need beer zaps too? 🍻


Good morning, Derek! Pura Vida!


Sharing personal stories is what makes us a community. That's why we say good morning to strangers too. If you're here, you're one of us.


Good morning!


Good morning, Derek, have a fine day!


Good morning, Zoltán! I like to walk with no target, just admiring buildings. And I am glad when I see something new. (Not the best photo but the details are nice.)

Maybe it's too expensive and above the card's limit? Normally it's a stupid question but we're talking about Switzerland.


It feels a little like I'm spamming with recommendations...

I have decided that the first moment of "being less idiot" would be when I understand wtf UTXO means. Not even AI was able to explain it to me but the day finally came!

nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 opened a big door for me and I binge-watch like I'm addicted. If you want to easily understand everything, just go to the YouTube channel in the Playlists section and knock yourself out. At the end of every episode, I feel so happy that I want to scream "I know Kung Fu!".

THANK YOU!

A few clips, where he needs video to explain stuff, I found only on YouTube.


Set up their wallet, a few extra sats are welcome to earn while you listen. You probably know them already but, just in case, look for nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 (by nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u) and nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev (for his podcast - Bitcoin Audible). Cheers!


What I'm interested in, you can find only on YouTube because he shows everything in detail on video (e.g. how to set up a wallet, make payments, etc).


I recommend the whole YouTube channel from nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8. Today, I discovered it, and I binge-watch his stuff. He also has playlists that make everything easier. I just can't recommend his channel enough, go there and you'll find a lot of answers, beautifully explained.


🤣 Keep Nostr weird, they say! 🍻


My Nostr Bitcoin School gave me a boost through a nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 episode about the Phoenix Wallet nostr:npub148qm45zettnf6ekgkatnyfadunxwjpu8sy88mjdsgwc5f202d93qmejra7. If you are a beginner like me and have a lot of questions about Lightning wallets in general, here's a good start.

A big Thank You, a lot of mysteries solved in less than one hour!

Is it possible to use the Primal wallet in any other app?

#asknostr #primal


I listened to an episode from nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 to hear what my dear EU decided to mess with regarding Bitcoin. Well, I found the masters of randomness, from dick jokes to anything else. So, if you need some random fun (and not only), here's the link.

It became immoral to have morals.


My new favourite episode from nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 by nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u.

Initially, I skipped this episode when I saw UAP in the title but now I can't recommend it enough. Probably I can best describe this episode as a reality check.

Walker, thank you again for a great episode, you need to invite Matthew at least every three months because he's absolutely fantastic.

Here's the Fountain link:

It's like saying to take care about seeking Bitcoin. It hurts down the road but you know it's worth.


I’m a Bitcoin newbie so take it with salt. I may sound a little too enthusiastic but I have hope again in passing the fruits of my work to my kid. Holding some fiat into an account with a shitty interest, out of which I also had to pay taxes, was absolutely depressing. You buy a home “to have a shelter above the head” for your family, even a second one “for when the kid will be a grown up”, but pretty much that's it. It's a nice feeling knowing that your work won't get lost down the road. So… stacking is hope!

#bitcoin


Good morning and Pura Vida, Derek! Have a good week!


I'm not into conspiracies but it looks like the reptilians exists. 🤷


🤣 This is why I married! To never drink alone.


In my case it's nothing like early morning convincing to wake up the kid to go to school... This is how one becomes an alcoholic!
But I digress, I wish you all the best!


I'm unable to log in into Primal app for Android since over 12 hours ago. Any other Nostr app works just fine . Any ideas (that are simple)?

#asknostr #primal


Don't you think you're preaching to the choir? 🤌


Joe! Please try to do it in Austria. I can't spread the love because I, as a low-level construction worker, can't find how/where to spend anything.


After WW2, people condemned the so-called far right while leaving the far left mostly untouched. They're both meant to enslave, but somehow, the latter gets embraced and nobody talks about its crimes.


Some Israeli guy told his story on TED about the Israeli-Iranian friendship.

Good morning, Joe!


Good morning, Derek!


Good morning, Joe.

That's the reason why, in some messages, I add  "(Hey, NSA, it's a joke!)".


So you woke up and chose violence! 🤣
Good morning, Max!


Hi! From my understanding, the Wallet of Satoshi is KYC. As a Lightning wallet, I can use the one from Primal since I already use the app.

My question was regarding the wallets in general. Till now I understood that it's best to use different addresses every time, privacy-wise, but I still miss a lot of technicalities. I was looking for the Electrum wallet, for example. But I found nothing about opening Lightning channels and so on. Plus security tips & tricks and so on. And how to transfer from Lightning to a “regular” address, on-chain. Plus costs, etc. I hope you got the general idea.


Ok, folks, here I am again with a question.

Can anyone provide a more recent link about wallets in general? Comprehensive but for stupid people at the same time.

Many thanks in advance!

#asknostr


Yesterday I heard Jeff for the first time (with Walker). For context, I'm a newbie. I can't get out of my head his idea that the money isn't ours if we have to let the bank know why are we withdrawing OUR money. Now, I have had this "needle in the brain" for almost 24 hours, and it bothers me hard.


The newest experience of nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 by nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u continued with Friday's episode where nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe was the guest.

The reason I warmly recommend this episode is because it was the most comprehensive lesson that I got up to this point about Bitcoin (and even more than this). And, the cherry on top, what a chemistry they have! Really great episode/lesson.

Dear podcasters, start inviting Jeff if you want to catch my attention.

Anyway, here's the link from nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5.

PS: Walker, special thanks for this episode. I start to believe that you're the best teacher one can have.

Good morning, Gigi!


Good morning, folks! Here's my thought of the day.

What boggles my mind, less than three months after I made an account on Nostr to learn about Bitcoin, is that BTC actually gains by collecting the extra energy produced and the extra fiat printed.

BTW, I’m not looking for a debate, this is my way of stone-carving a message for myself just to see how it ages.

#gm


Now that's interesting!


It never changes the direction to make things a little more interesting?! 🤔


My dive into understanding Bitcoin got an interesting boost with nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev's podcast, Bitcoin Audible.

If you're a beginner, and a little paranoid, here's a good episode to extinguish some of those fears. I have a long journey ahead but I wanted to mark his first episode that I interacted with in the forever memory of Nostr.

Here's the link from nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5

My love for sci-fi has nothing to do with diversity, there's no need for me to feel included because I can get absorbed without a character that comes from Eastern Europe and paints walls on a different planet. I care more about different than diverse. If we have morals that go from black to white, I want to see something that goes from green to magenta but with sound reasoning. Other than that, I don't expect blond aliens with blue eyes or genders that have anything to do with our race at all.
All the best!

Dude!! Please go the blue-collar way. There's a lot of potential in people that don't understand how this BTC & stuff works. Everything is about people who can understand complex things but for the rest of us it feels that we're going to have another pull rug. It feels like one elite will be charged with another and nothing more. 🍻

Fair enough! I should explain that from now on I accept only curated stuff; maybe I'll convince a few friends to try Nostr. At least for the memes. 🍻

Now start throwing shit at me...


Ok, folks, newbie questions again.

I live about 75% of the time in Austria and here I have my main residence. I just found out that if I purchase anything using Bitcoin, I also have to pay a 27.5% capital gain tax if there's a positive difference between the moment when I purchased the Bitcoin and the moment I spent it. It sounds just stupid.

Is anyone else from Austria or a country with the same issue? How do you proceed? And are any places in this country where I can pay with Lightning?

This is not true, it contradicts religious education, all religions have recognized this. Who else should recognize this so that it can be removed from textbooks and not instilled into the consciousness of our children?"

I thought I was the only one seeing it. 😀 Nostro in Italian, notre in French, nostru in Romanian. It's probably something similar in Spanish, too.


Good morning, folks! It's more of a late morning but here's what a new Nostr day brought to me.

My learning curve with nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 by nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4ucontinues with the newest episode, which clarified a lot and here's my main take.

[Before anything, take into account that I'm a newbie.]

I had a big issue regarding all the charts showing how everything is cheaper nowadays in Bitcoin terms. It became annoying at some point because… yeah, sure, I can find a lot of crap that became a lot cheaper in terms of other crap.

While I still find my “irritation” to be valid, there's one angle that I never thought to explore. Things are indeed getting cheaper if we exclude money printing from the equation because we have become better at producing stuff, more efficient and so on (see the Arizona Iced Tea case). It's incredible how normal it became to just pay more for anything!

For the next few days, I will contemplate the idea of valuing my work in Satoshi terms and see where it goes. Just because. 🤷

https://youtu.be/toP_5IALC7Y


Now I am curious about what other people have to say, mostly because for me it's a non-subject and I don't understand what's the fuss.

Let me put it in context. I made an Instagram account in the second lockdown (yeah, we had three) to follow a few restaurants and hotels, hoping that they would announce anything about reopening, aka the end of the lockdown. Now I use it to find cooking recipes. Same for my wife. I also had a Twitter account (this is how I got in here) and my wife had a Facebook account while she was a student because that's how she was able to find out about student meetings.

Other than that, two adults and one kid, we all use YouTube but we're into the learning side of things (astrophysics, new languages, musical education, cooking, repairing stuff, lately The Bitcoin Podcast, etc.). Anyway... Will I allow my kid a TikTok account? Probably not. Or not yet. 🤷


Since this meme was just made illegal in California, I feel it would be an injustice not to post it on #nostr where ti can breathe the free internet air.

This is a perfect example of pure, unstoppable Streisand Effect 🤣

By MrReagan on X
https://v.nostr.build/PMV1ixx1gjMCJ6YD.mp4


Are you serious about the illegality of this?! Then fuck! I'm not able to code or help Nostr in any meaningful way, other than posting crap, so let's repost the shit out of this!


So you don't know what's next. 😂

https://m.primal.net/KtwT.jpg


THIS MESSAGE WILL SELF-DESTROY IN 3... 2... 1...


I need popcorn! 😭


Now that's a nice picture! GM


Regarding Ecash & Cashu.

I asked Nostr a few days ago but I got no answers regarding what's all of this about. The internet searches gave only results that (more or less obviously) had nothing to do with the topics at hand.

Then, I looked at nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 where my man nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u invited nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg. I might sound like a fanboy already but from now on I should just search if he made a podcast about what I’m looking for before losing more time.

https://youtu.be/ipPqYIA7JkM


Oh, didn't see you for a few days. I thought you were having a pager malfunction or something. GM


In the meantime, somebody hacked the Local Administrative website with greetings from Budanov. 😂 Trolling at its finest!

It's because of the falling debris, as usual. And they said that extinguishing operation goes according to plan. Somehow I heard this crap before. 🍻

It's not exactly the answer to your question but I would like to see an anti-bitcoiner. And not a weirdo, I want someone well articulated, able to have a healthy debate. For me, this is the best way to get out of an echo chamber.


It feels different to be in here. And it doesn't feel awkward. We'll have some hiccups down the road but I am sure we'll achieve a level of greatness that we still can't fathom.

My immersive experience with nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 by nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u continued with the newest episode. I have to be honest about this one because I was more curious about wtf is with this nostr:npub1j8y6tcdfw3q3f3h794s6un0gyc5742s0k5h5s2yqj0r70cpklqeqjavrvg dude because, as an old man, with no intersection with Nostr, BTC and so on, I found him weird. (Cut me some slack, I'm a construction worker.) Well, clearly didn't expect such a nice interview with two wonderful people! It's another episode that I recommend, especially for beginners.

I like bread. When it's fresh, I let it cool off a little and enjoy a slice with salted butter. Today, I have only regular butter, but I will use salt with lavender 🪻 to have a taste of France.

https://m.primal.net/Krgb.jpg


Exactly what I thought. I had the feeling that this was only an inflammatory note in a Twitter style but it's better to ask.


I'm not from the US so I have to ask. Is it illegal?


😁 Just to be contrarian:

Why fight death if it's inevitable? Well, one day it might not be. Till then, I choose how I live!


Feeling a bit nostalgic today because I love rain. Although the correct term for what's happening here is flood… Anyway…

If consciousness exists, I'm more inclined towards quantum consciousness (Roger Penrose). The arrangement of fundamental particles in some random structure that works seems to involve a little too much randomness to my taste. But, first of all, I should listen to what the man has to say, before going to "Man, an extra dimension might be necessary!".


I was "lucky" enough to be born in Communism but, on the other side, I got tired of explaining how bad it is. In the end, no Western communists, for lack of a better term, want to move to any Communist country. 🤷


Seeing this, I got more convinced that during our history we weren't dumb because of the lack of information. Now we have the information so we should lack the excuses.


Hey! My eyes are up here!


Probably you've heard it before. You're a good man! But good people should hear it more often. 🤙


😁 Now I can read it only with a German accent in my head! Warum???


😀This morning, I started to think about quantum consciousness (Penrose), and it felt like a sign. Also, the weather is shit (rain, wind, 8°C with real-feel 0°C). With these excuses in mind, not looking like your everyday alcoholic, Cheers! Oder Prost!


And with these words, the weekend drinking can start!


Twitter convinced me to move my ass in here and that's how I ended up using Lightning. So without Twitter I wouldn't use BTC Lightning. 🍻


Oh,! Howdy, neighbour!


I wanted to emphasize the “talking for normies”. More often than not, topics that include economics (Bitcoin included) feel like politicians talking. While I understand that some issues might be next to impossible to put in layman's terms, once in a blue moon I choose to remind people that the “lower cast” still exists. Someone said here that he prefers Nostr without normies because he doesn't miss stupids while nostr:npub1lr2zzf989mvf393y0tv39ara6a4vddkd6y87z784up9vl6ks6j3qtudl6a said that he wants to educate us. Joe’s attitude and your efforts are the things that link people because Bitcoin should be for everyone. So I thank you!


Ok, folks. I usually don't recommend more than a beer, but when I do...

I recently installed the Fountain app nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 for podcasts. If you're a simpleton like me, I highly recommend The Bitcoin Podcast. I'm just scratching the surface this day, but hear me out.

This dude nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u tells to those with an impaired capacity of understanding, some gorgeous economic stuff. I felt my IQ rising by a whole point, but now I hope it's not because of inflation. So, the gateway drug for me is available in 4 episodes right now (from a series of 6). Also, if you have insomnia, this guy's godly calm voice might cure it all. Just don't listen while driving or something...

So without further gilding the lily, here's the first episode:

Damn, I laughed reading your second point. <We're firm believers but not close to those mofos with guns!>
Regarding the third point... I don't know how peaceful everything would be, let's not forget January 6th. This time it might get on steroids.


"Back there" I had one follower and never made a single post. 😂 Not everyone's an influencer, some of us just want to learn new stuff. But here, it feels ok to write, somehow. Crappy writing but still.


Sure, because "independent" thinking works so well for half the planet. 🤷


Ok, so there's a difference somewhere. I searched yesterday for ecash and, probably obviously, the results were weird. Can you provide a proper link for me to understand what it's really about? Something kindergarten level, please.


👀 You people get messages?! They fucking call me all the time, you're lucky!


Back then when we were humans... Damn, I'm old! We used to have fun and be unapologetic.


😂 I don't know wtf I just watched but it happens to be the best explanation. I'm a newbie, I was looking for some opinions about wallets, and I will just go with this as a reference scale. THANK YOU!


Never had a preference, I found myself rooting for any gender, human or alien alike. A good story is a good story, it sounds stupid but it's what I feel.  🤷


Good morning!
Question of the day:
Is day drinking still a thing?
#gm


I have Primal since ~2 months ago (I'm a newbie) and I installed Amethyst last week "just in case & why not" but I'm not too excited (yet). For now Primal is very fine.


Oh, Rico Rich doesn't know how to brag anymore since we're back up at 58k.
Cheers!🍻

I might be just a functional alcoholic but I was sure that's a wine bottle in your picture.


Will an open mind open that bottle? 🍷


Good morning, folks!

Well, I'm a newbie in everything Bitcoin-related. I got the Mutiny wallet, and the next day, they announced that by the year-end, it would be out of the scene.

Can someone recommend a Lightning wallet made for idiots? And another question... I saw that it costs 100k sats to open a channel. For me, it's a lot. Is there a way to get a cheaper option or that's the standard?

#gm #bitcoin #lightning #asknostr


We want cheap & fast everything. And we're not allowed to express our inner darkness anymore... 🤷


This should be fun. And actually I know that I'm not a high IQ mofo, I know exactly my place in society. Selectively naive is also possible.

1. What villagers was Russia trying to protect from NATO weapons in 2014?

2. I didn't say that Ukraine has those resources, the Russians said it about a week ago.

And one more rhetorical question. Why do people only accuse the decadent West of providing weapons and ammunition to Ukraine but never accuse North Korea and Iran of providing weapons to Russia?

To present my perspective, I was born under a dictatorship from the Eastern Block, under Russian "truth and guidance". Yes, I am old. And I am truly sorry that you see these things the way you are. I won't continue this conversation and you can have the last word, you can even consider that I abandoned the fight.

Wish you all the best!


If somebody breaks into a house close to you, and you decide to give your neighbour a gun to defend himself, does it mean that you actually want his TV and the jewellery?

The Russians themselves said it first about a week ago that it doesn't matter the cost of the war because they will get it back from resources, also stating this specific value. That's why you start hearing now the “3 billion in resources” thing.

And you think the US is helping?! Look closer. The Congress approved over 60 billion for Ukraine. They announced 2 days ago 250 million in military equipment for this month. Last month the same amount. They don't even let Ukraine fight back because what the US is doing is twisted as fuck.

I heard exactly the same about Afghanistan, that the US is there for Lithium and other stuff. Tell me, was a single gram of anything extracted? And no, I am not from the US.


Yeah, Vitor... Autocorrect...


Victor, please keep us updated about the Reply Guy challenge. It was dev's trash talk and I love it, it's the first Nostr Telenovela from my point of view. For context, my only coding skill is introducing the PIN to my phone. If I get drunk, I'm going into hacking territory with brute forcing it with one hand and covering an eye with the other hand but I guess that you got the idea.


I'm on the other side of the fence. Never had a credit card but I would like to have one for a year or so. 🤷 Debit card, yes, but never CC.

Stop complaining about the price action of Bitcoin! What, you got all-in, and now you want to get suddenly rich and be part of a small elite? I thought that Bitcoin should be for everyone, keep stacking and stay humble, I try to get some for my little kid, not to buy a fuckin' Lambo after a week, I have no reason to complain that I can get a few cheaper sats. Grab a cold one and chill out, cheers! 🍻

Let me guess... this is Dev's trash talk. 🍻


I don't know why I laugh so hard but somehow you made my day. 😂

Oh, you're a parent too. ✌ Good night!


I shouldn't complain, somebody said good morning back to me for once. 🤷


Yeah, I can see it too on Amethyst but not on Primal. But good morning!


Good morning, Nostr!
This morning I saw an old lady in the metro drinking Prosecco. Now I envy her a little. Drinking Prosecco in the morning should be normal again!
#gm


Man, I'm dumb... It took me almost a minute till I realised there were 12 words.


Well, I'm exactly that Eastern European. Born in Communism and all the rest.
I came to the "decadent" West end and stayed; any Communist should do the same with any country of their choosing.


Does free speech include not-so-free speech? I mean, should the paid speech for nefarious reasons be protected at all costs? I’m genuinely curious about what other people think.
#asknostr


Ok, so it's more like the Communists complaining about democracy but not willing to move to North Korea. Got it! 😀


If you see it on Xitter, why would you bother?! It's like seeing fiat people against Bitcoin. 🤷


Clearly, you didn't buy your stuff at 58k. 😂


I didn't see this on Xitter... But this is how one gets in love with Nostr!


Really, no Russian gals in Dubai?! You exclude a lot of potential just like that... 🥲


My new wallpaper!


Nah, the West is ruled by kittens who are puppets to anything but the good.


Makes sense, I will try Damus


OK, it seems that you're hiding the fun part! What the heck is the global feed and how do I access it? I use Primal, and I'm a moron, so use crayons.
#asknostr


I'm late to the party and a little too sober, I don't have a global feed! How do I get it? I use Primal.


Huh! I was sure that I'd watch some "Kill the Communists" genre but it fuckin' makes sense.


He should try Oktoberfest till Easter.


Good morning!

Let's have a little fun. How do I know that Trump will create a reserve of Bitcoin, you ask? Well, he understands a quick way to make money.

He and everyone he knows will buy Bitcoin, they will probably give him a percentage too, and then will start a grandiose program to buy for the strategic reserve, preferably with freshly printed fiat. Regarding Bitcoin, there are no inside trading legal issues to speak of. But sure, he needs to win first.

My blue-collar opinion.

Regarding Brazil, should Elon make a NostriX app?

My first quote on Nostr. Because this is the most competent argument regarding free speech.

That's exactly what the UK Police is saying...


People tend to like a good-night story. Well, I have a morning story.

I was born in a Latin country and I feel great in other Latin countries. I just spent four weeks in France and decided to return by train through Italy, with two small city breaks down the road.

Then, when I crossed the border into my adoptive country, Austria, its beauty hit differently. It felt like everything was perfect, gorgeous, with sense, cared about, and so on.

I visited Austria for the first time about 26 years back, and I fell in love and finally decided to relocate here about 8 years ago, for a limited time, just to see how it feels. Even if I am out of the country for a weekend, I still get amazed when I return. People complain a lot about this country, especially immigrants like me. I don't want to negate anyone's experience, but people think I'm weird when I say that I found here the warmest possible people.

I know that my post looks like random crap, but I had the urge to put these words into the wild. I love my kid, my wife and Austria. They all amaze me constantly, and now Austria is part of the family.


Here are my issues but take it with some salt because I am the proverbial normie, layman, etc.
It my count, I use Primal.

Sometimes, my replies appear as posts. So they don't appear to whom I want to reply but as weird irrelevant notes made after a bucket of wine.

Sometimes I can't zap some notes.

There were some posta about some AI generated news shit that I find awful because they make some searches spammed to the sky and back. Layer 3 news something....

Pretty much those are my problems and highly appreciate that someone bothered to ask. 🍻


I hope more people can understand that this is the right attitude towards the future and there's no way around. Being born in a communist dictatorship, your post hits different.


Do you laugh or do you protest?! 😂


I feel like the right question, in my case, it's when a dad becomes a joke. 🍻 NO RAGRETS!


When Wagner mercenaries start joining, don't ask why. 🍻


Stalkers are good, they keep us in check. 🍻


I tried to find some news about some specific topics and everything is f***ing flooded by them so I abandoned the search function on Primal after two days.


When the Russians say that Europe is a gulag, it's hilarious.


I was asking myself why nobody's talking about this. 🥲 Being on the same list with some Russian oligarchs doesn't help either.


Wagner PMC vibes. ☠


Probably someone asked how many developers are needed to install a stripper pole.


I'd have a lot of fun to see Ed Witten explain to him in 2 minutes to cut the crap. But I doubt that Weinstein will ever accept any debate with Witten.


PS: Tegernseer for me.


Especially after the fifth one.


Well, I'm one of them. Low-skilled blue-collar. Or stupid, as Rootdude puts it. I'm sure there's more of us.


He's keeping an open mind. So open that his brain fell out.

If they listen to them about human rights, why the hell not?!

She's acting weird and out of sync with her hands. Find an Italian!


The US is already a net exporter of crude oil. Also, as a side note, the lowest price of February 2022 (Russian invasion in Ukraine) was 86.55. Ukraine f***ed their refineries which, I believe, lowers the price for crude (because they don't have the capacity to refine, they sell more crude than usual) and should raise the price for refined products, although mostly for their internal market (army included, with a bigger and bigger demand).

PS: You made my day with your second point!


I thought that the interviews should bring information. my mistake!


I was trying to say that I can't seriously take Rogan as a source of information.


Because Rogan is to be trusted? 😂


I went to see a man about a Bitcoin.


Okey… Today I had my first Satoshi purchase. I installed Mutiny to try smaller stuff but they just announced that they’ll close the shop. Any recommendations to replace it?

#asknostr
#bitcoin


😂 Sometimes a man gotta do what a man gotta do!


If you only care to catch a % up, yes. if you are buying Bitcoin for what it means, definitely no.


#gm You guys running a discount? Well, I just purchased my first Satoshi. I'm already curious how many think right now that I was living in a cave... I'd like to say that I hope for more "discounts" but I would probably get a lot of STFU so Pura Vida!


While it was a joke, you should know that not everyone can start a business "just like that". You need capital and whatnot. And if everyone would start a business, you'd have no one to clean the streets, pick up strawberries and so on. You still need those people with "parasitic mindsets ". Thinking that a job that's paid unfairly is a choice? While some people say that <we all should have a side hustle>, they don't think that for others it means cleaning shit in other people's homes after 12 hours of hard physical work, just as an example. Can you tell me what would this do to one's soul? It's a rhetorical question. And please don't take it as me throwing crap at you, I just want to show you a different perspective and I genuinely hope to not offend you in any way. If somehow I did it, I apologise.


If my employer would exploit me for Satoshi, what difference would my soul feel?


It's the moment to ask the public again. First of all, treat me like I’m 5 because I just started to scratch the surface about a week ago, regarding BTC and what it might mean.

Now let's see if I got it right. Would Blockchain, or something similar, serve as a tamper-proof voting system? With access to everyone, no more staying in line, not counting if you temporarily went for a quick tan in Antarctica and so on.

If the answer is yes… Wouldn't that cause the people to be able to vote for a lot of other stuff, even in more trivial matters? Because it might scare the shit out of politicians. I was thinking about Switzerland where people vote once in a blue moon for issues that are not common in any other countries and the first thought was that they afford the costs, at least compared to most of the countries, but I still thought that at some point it can become annoying for voters to spend more time than needed to get to voting booths and so on. But if you have an app on your mobile phone…

So, where am I hallucinating?

Relax, this not's your titcoins!


I like how it starts. LOL

"Why ecash is so much better than your normal custodian:

- it can be audited as easily as any custodian"


Well, Maduro took Assange's part when it was about Wikileaks so maybe this is a "Thanks, mate!".


I didn't want to believe it. But I checked... F***! I don't even have a week on Nostr, what are you doing to me?! LMAO Tin foil in six months, I guess.


I think I’m trippin’! So take your crayons and make me understand.

There will be at some point 21 million Bitcoin, not considering lost keys and stuff. Taking into account 8 billion people on this planet, it results in an average of 0.00262500 BTC per capita. That's right now about 180 USD. I am thinking about the implications but I start to believe that I have alcohol-induced brain damage.

Can someone tell me where's the mistake?

#asknostr
#bitcoin


I'm sure that Satoshi is a woman because no man would stop bragging about it. I know I would...


One can only hope. I fear that those who lack opportunities and whatnot tend to also be less educated and clueless about Bitcoin, Blockchain and so on. I’m an immigrant, low-skilled blue-collar, living mostly among my peers, and I can say that it's a level of complexity that makes the whole topic unreachable for some not-too-small parts of the population.


He's also a billionaire, FFS.


He doesn't have a clue what Bitcoin is. Somehow I feel weird because, as a blue-collar, I know more than a US president.


I don't know who needs to hear this but if you present screenshots of trolls' posts from Xitter as "proof", fuck you!


Bitcoin newbie, close to my first BTC purchase.

After quite some research, I managed to find some ATMs that have a commission of “only” 8% and, the cherry on top, there's no identification necessary for amounts up to a maximum of 250 EUR. I intend to buy some Satoshi every month for 50 EUR so it's not a problem by far.

They also offer the option for me to buy through the Lightning network with a more down-to-earth commission of 2%. While my scope is to buy and simply hold, I won't refuse to make a small purchase from a more or less random shop if the opportunity arises, for practical experience.

I want to give myself a year to get acquainted properly with this world before deciding if I should raise the amount but, before my first purchase, I want to know if there's anything to take into account as a newbie or if I’m good to go. Just in case, the company that owns the ATMs is called KURANT Bitcoin ATM and Service. It operates in Austria, Germany and Spain so maybe someone knows anything about it.

If someone sees this message and replies, many thanks in advance!


Am I the only one who thinks that people invite this dude only to be able to promote themselves? I mean, there were a lot of people titled "Man of the Year" when later they proved themselves to be nothing more than genocidal maniacs. Call me a hater, I guess, but I never heard him saying anything that's actually deep.


My first 24 hours on Nostr.

It's not what I feared about. And I feared that everything would be politicised. For example, I am on Instagram looking for cooking recipes but it just can't stop from shoving down my throat some very hate-inducing stuff. It seems that nowadays politics isn't anymore about “what we can do better for you” and it's more about “look what they will do to you if you don't vote for us”. And I don't even live in the US. Or in any English-speaking country for that matter.

Instead, I found a more laid-back community that seems to fight twisted ideas about what our society should be and I like this because I like fresh ideas that can give me hope and, as a parent, I need this hope towards a better future. If I understand correctly the message of the people I follow, it can be put as “it shouldn't be <our free will OR your free will>, it should be <free will> because we're not talking about different situations that are mutually exclusive “.

I also learned a lot of new words and concepts (that I had to look for, with more or less success in understanding) but that's a different topic. Also, my post starts to unintentionally look like a weird rant.

TLDR: Thank you, my dear community!


Kim Jong Un studied in Switzerland if I'm not mistaken.


Literally why I made an account today on Nostr!


How can one buy very small amounts of BTC with anonymity?

I am new to this world, and please explain to me like I’m 5. For context, I'm in the second half of my 40s and my level of education is limited to high school. One detail that might count is that I live in the EUR zone.

My intention is for the next year to buy BTC worth 50 EUR a month while getting some practical experience along with some knowledge and re-evaluating after this time. I want to do it for my kid, for reasons that go beyond “some cushion money”. While I am not a very educated person, to put it mildly, I am getting anxious about some totalitarian tendencies that my old continent seems to have acquired. Some call me paranoid, so I decided to stop talking about it in real life, but I assure you that I don't use my aluminium foil for non-culinary reasons. While right now I live in the “civilised world”, I was born in an Eastern European dictatorship and I can still get a sour taste when, once in a while, I see different news about what should be regulated next.

But I digress. From my knowledge, there are two ways of keeping my privacy while acquiring BTC. The first one should be in person, with cash, but I don't know how safe it is because, well, paranoia again. The second option would be to use a Bitcoin ATM where I can pay with cash. But to pay about 20% over the market… for me it's outrageous. And yes, I know it's not a lot of money but for me, it counts.

I would like to thank you in advance for any answers and wish all the best to everyone.
