Yesterday nostr:npub120jgpm9gl7lzwtjeklr7rg9nkty4g7whhgq0u8qz2n5s0fkrca0qlh5qug asked a question about how can they/know prove that certain bitcoins belong to you. Besides the Roman Sterlingov case, what other resources can help explain.

https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/roman-sterlingov-found-guilty-on-four-counts/


The short version is study this court case. We're going to cover it soon but it is about probability and chain analysis, which is extremely suspect.

Either is fine. I listen to all the episodes because I don’t really have any orange pilled friend who knows more than me. I do most of the orange pilling around here. Which is scary since I think I dont know shit. I get a lot of my education from you so I thought I’d reach out. If the answer is enough for a topic on the show do it there. Otherwise a note back here is great too. Thanks for being accessible! Your podcast is literally the best BTC podcast out there. I’ve been missing you guys. 🙏🏻


nostr:npub1pmhevxtlt3478pvmdqt7dftnv6zc2mzpdc569yjm6ks4k2jhezcs53uksr can you explain how all BTC isn’t KYC free with a little work?

Hear me out. I buy BTC on an exchange that I’m KYC’ed on. Gov definitely knows that’s my BTC.

I then move it off to a wallet. Gov can assume that was my wallet. Fine.

I then make another wallet and move it there. At that point how would / could the gov prove those sats are still from my original KYC purchase?

Wouldn’t that be enough to create doubt to clear the BTC and make it anonymous?

Bonus question: if I now bring those same sats back to an exchange and sell them (which I would never do but if I did) how would they know what my original purchase price was for taxing purposes? These sats have moved to multiple wallets and potentially multiple exchanges.

Nipping below the waves, to discover the true power of the nostr protocol

A quick introduction to nostr microservice, nostr wallet connect, and links to useful resources and services.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qqxnzde3xqmrgvfnxuenswpcqgspmp6ellzgv77ntcgeyl57j30dv4yuqg0vqvqhtw4rn996lgsvf7grqsqqqa28dy0jp7

*The* **#nostr**, when experienced through polished apps like [Damus](https://damus.io), [Primal](https://primal.net/), or [Amethyst](https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst) can appear like **Twitter *+ Zaps***. Of course the ability to zap (pay) anyone on *the* nostr protocol with bitcoin is a game-changing addition to the social media experience. Make sure you set up the wallet in your favorite client to receive zaps!

Lurking beneath the familiar social experience on *the* nostr, lies the true power of a permissionless, open source protocol: microservices. This allows developers to extend the protocol perform useful activities on behalf of a user. In this brief post, we will cover the **Nostr Wallet Connect** microservice. This service allows a user to:
1. Connect a bitcoin lightning wallet to their nostr identity.
2. Set limits on the payments that this wallet make on behalf of the user.
3. Make payments, to individuals, websites, businesses, and other microservices on behalf of the user.

[GetlAlby](https://getalby.com), a custodial bitcoin lighting wallet provider, has been a major driving force behind the nostr wallet connect microservice. You can learn more in their [blog post](https://blog.getalby.com/introducing-nostr-wallet-connect/) introducing nostr wallet connect. Make sure to follow their [nostr account](nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm).

If you prefer a non-custodial bitcoin lighting wallet for reduced counter party risk, check out [Mutiny Wallet](https://mutinywallet.com) and follow their [nostr account](nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg) on *the* nostr. The Mutiny team has added (and continues to develop) mutiny wallet as a social payments apps using this nostr microservice. Learn more in this [blog post](https://blog.mutinywallet.com/nostr-contacts-and-zap-feed/). The Mutiny team, like most developers in the nostr development space, never rests, and they have developed Nostr Wallet Auth specification on top of Nostr Wallet Connect. Read more in this [blog post](https://blog.mutinywallet.com/nostr-wallet-auth/).

Finally, check out [Orange Crush Relay](https://relay.orange-crush.com) if you are in the market for a paid nostr relay. Joining fee is 8000 sats for a **lifetime membership**. Relay is currently at 2.9% capacity. Joining fees are deposited into a bitcoin wallet to pay for future years of hosting fees. As bitcoin appreciates in value, we will buy more runway to continue providing relay services. First 5 years are subsidized by [our founder](nostr:npub1ds8fq94ec8h70m00sljstc4puq7mr7aulhp76660324yk4q2mx8sdyf93l), so that we can maximize our bitcoin treasury appreciation during this current period of #hyperbitcoinization to maintain future service.


#Bitcoin is an antidote to Western soft tyranny.

Old school tyranny, not so much, but the cabal's Achilles heel is that they must maintain pretenses.


#bitcoin 🚀 https://image.nostr.build/cd3871d9d2858d55fa1e38888036d8113b496bff1097bf82dc61bae84f5606ee.jpg


What makes explaining #bitcoin and #nostr so hard is the fact that they exist outside the worldview most people live their lives within. Asking someone to adopt them is like asking someone to stand where there's no ground or breathe where there's no air. Fiat has warped how people see everything and people take the new view as normal. Nothing lines up with that reality when you explain the problems Bitcoin and Nostr solve, so you're automatically dismissed. Telling someone their worldview is corrupted makes people fearful and closes them off to reason.

I don't know a better way to explain Bitcoin than by letting people feel enough pain from fiat to start questioning why things are so messed up at a fundamental level, and then introducing them to Bitcoin. Otherwise, there's no motivation to learn.

Key takeaways:

1 - bootstrapping mentality. Focus on surviving bear markets.
2- if you are software, consider going FOSS and applying for nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f grant, going nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9 campaign
3 - need to get sats flow.
4 - focus any fundraising round on strictly what you need to hit milestones
5 - make products accessible to normies, until the transition to a #bitcoin standard.

Bitcoin seems to be scaling just fine at the protocol level. Especially when you compare it to its true competitors; other base monies and the rails they settle through.

Stop trying to use dice-rolled seeds unless you're an expert ❌

Just had yet another person (hard to count the total now) reach out about a low-entropy seed they generated and were allowed to import into a certain hardware wallet. A lot of the blame for these lost funds falls on influencers who shill users on overly-complex security setups without properly explaining the massive risks and tradeoffs associated for the average user.

What happened:

Less than 10min after funds were sent to what they thought was secure storage, they were swept to an attackers address.

They used <10 dice rolls, meaning the private key had <25bits of entropy when the minimum for strong security is 50 dice rolls (128 bits of entropy). Wallets should not allow a user to import a seed that they know is completely insecure.

Staying safe:

As I have said many times, if you don't know the ins and outs of dice rolls, entropy, verification of the resulting seed offline, etc. please do not use dice rolls alone for seed generation. 99.99999% of users are better off allowing good, multi-source, open-source random number generation like we do on Passport.

To date I have heard of zero compromised seeds that were generated using on-board RNG due to entropy issues, while there are countless examples of users losing funds due to improper dice rolls.

Stay safe out there, folks.

That means Lightning nodes can help each other receive funds even if they don't have any channels or inbound liquidity! User don't need to trust each other as long as both trust the same Chaumian Mint.

Soon™ in Cashu

The normies keep talking about not enough Bitcoin for everyone...

There is approximately $400 trillion in global wealth and  2.1 quadrillion Satoshis sounds like the entire world economy easily fits inside of Bitcoin


From now on always think / hear / say FEDERAL RESERVE when you think /hear / say FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

E.g:  the FEDERAL RESERVE has 800 military bases ringing the planet


“If you want to see nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m talk openly about what happened at twitter, he’s gonna do that on Nostr. If you want to see nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 openly riff with the plebs about his thoughts, that’s going to happen on Nostr… If you want to tune in to nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a  and get some of her less official takes and get to know her a little bit deeper, that’s happening on Nostr.”

Check out the latest #BitcoinTalk episode of nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 (THE #Bitcoin Podcast) with nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr , the creator of #Nostr client nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg

We talk about the story of Primal, the future of Nostr, the next wave of adoption, and a whole lot more. So it’s really a #NostrTalk not a #BitcoinTalk

It's been a pretty exciting month for TFTC. We've been pushing out more content on the site than we ever have before. This content includes podcasts, news events, philosophy lectures, guides that will enable you to become more sovereign and productive, and much more.

The site is seeing more traffic than ever and we are extremely motivated  to continue leaning into this strategy to distinguish TFTC as a new type  of media company that provides our community with a mixture of content  produced in-house and curated content from many different sources. All in an effort to provide Truth for the Commoner.

Here are the five most read articles on the site this week and a few asks for anyone who is a fan of what we're doing.

We're going to win.

Meanwhile, on Twitter, another fiat economist proposes the Infinite Pizza Argument…

Or, framed another way…

Cut a fish into a quadrillion pieces and he’ll eat for a quadrillion days.” https://i.nostr.build/nJBq.jpg

nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z this was a fascinating episode.

hrmmmm the strike angle is interesting. the only issue I have with strike is that it creates a "paper trail". nothing against strike and I'll probably use this capability going forward but I want it to go to my node not a third party


question?

How do I make a reusable QR code that is for both lightning or onchain? Does something like this exist?


GM & PV my Nostriches

I only have one thing to say this morning...

LET'S GO!!! 🐂


ICYMI on Twitter: SEC account got hacked and tweeted a fake #Bitcoin ETF approval announcement.

That’s right, the agency that’s supposed to protect investors can’t even protect their own Twitter account. https://i.nostr.build/E43x.jpg https://i.nostr.build/J93M.jpg


GOOD MORNING NOSTR, SPENT THE LAST DECADE TRYING TO ONBOARD AS MANY PEOPLE TO BITCOIN AS POSSIBLE IN THE MOST RESPONSIBLE WAY POSSIBLE.

WILL SPEND THE NEXT DECADE CHANNELING PURE FUCK YOU ENERGY. 🫡


You don’t have a #Nostr account. You have a key that signs events, and you publish those events, and then anyone who wants to read those events can do so by retrieving them from anywhere they exist. There’s no one to turn it off, there’s no account to suspend or restrict. There is simply information flowing to and from you and everyone else who uses it. This puts the power of speech back in our hands.


If you grew your savings by 10% in a year, but the price of everything went up 10% at the same time because they keep printing money, you made NO PROGRESS at all.

You worked *harder* and consumed less, to end up exactly where you started.

Stop using money that literally scams you out of what you earn.

#Bitcoin is better money


do it


“You’re only saying all that cause you got in early” 🤡

Meanwhile we’re at less than 1% adoption.

I tried saving those I care about.
They refuse to have a conversation.
I concede some can’t be saved.

You can buy Bitcoin anytime you want
🖕🏽AT THE PRICE YOU DESERVE🖕🏽


Today is likely the last day of the pre-ETF era.

For 15 years, we've been studying Bitcoin, stacking sats, and orange pilling those around us.

Some of us got here earlier than others, but we all have one thing in common: we found #Bitcoin before the suits.

As the world shifts its focus to Bitcoin, remember why you're here. Remember the core values that brought you to Bitcoin. Remember why Bitcoin gives you hope for a better world.

Many are worried that a Bitcoin ETF will be bad for Bitcoin, or worse: kill it. But if there's one thing I've learned since I started studying Bitcoin, it's that it can't be stopped.

The beauty of Bitcoin is that it's permissionless. You don't have to ask for permission to access your money. You don't need a bank or a middleman to scam you with fees.

But it works the other way too. Because Bitcoin is permissionless, Blackrock doesn't need permission to use it. Even if they're using it in a way that removes all the freedom benefits and tacks on an annual fee.

In the post-ETF era, many more people will begin to use Bitcoin. Maybe they'll see a nostr:npub1kns8r25ppwc2vpsv5cvhlpk94nfad76k64pkdzfnn704th2hmcksgq3582 sign in public. Maybe they'll go to a meetup near you. But no matter how they find Bitcoin, they don't need permission to use it.

It has been a pleasure frontrunning the suits with every single one of you. They may expect us to sell when they pump the price.

But there's one thing they don't know that we do: Bitcoin is better money.

We're not here to gain more fiat. We're here to build a better world.

ONWARD!


On Labor and Fiat.

I have a whole spreadsheet with all the monthly bills. even taxes. life gets cheaper on a Bitcoin standard, but those federal taxes hurt when you see them as Satoshis

Who is ready for 2024?!


Thank you madly, deeply, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart. A worldwide ragtag team of developers in both RSS & Nostr, with a touch of friendly competition 💜💛 have made a few of my dreams come true this week. To be paid for what I do and to play in a place so meaningful to the history of independent music makes every minute of this week even more special. We worked across technology platforms, across continents and oceans to make this week happen. And with some hustle and a lot of heart together we pulled off a Christmas miracle in Minneapolis. ✨ I don’t have visibility to JL’s Numbers (which will only make the story better!) but I wanted to share the results and to thank you all for letting me be a part of the story. I hope we can show the world how #bitcoin can change lives, disrupt industry and end artistic poverty.

See you soon 🧡 Ainsley

Happy Yalda to all my Persians 🇮🇷

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yald%C4%81_Night

Yaldā Night (Persian: شب یلدا shab-e yalda) or Chelle Night (also Chellah Night, Persian: شب چلّه shab-e chelle) is an ancient festival in Iran,[1][2] Iraqi Kurdistan,[3][4] Afghanistan,[5] Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Turkey that is celebrated on the winter solstice.[6] This corresponds to the night of December 20/21 (±1) in the Gregorian calendar, and to the night between the last day of the ninth month (Azar) and the first day of the tenth month (Dey)[rs 2] of the Iranian solar calendar.[rs 2]

#flirtingwithbitcoinclips great ideas of actually fixing things, get bitcoin and free markets to make improvements. Things just get more expensive when governments get involved. Also from now on, will alway refer to the first US president as G Dubs. 🙌 nostr:npub1pmhevxtlt3478pvmdqt7dftnv6zc2mzpdc569yjm6ks4k2jhezcs53uksr #bitcoin https://fountain.fm/clip/kNbuZzxlzUEmOqwOcbHu


Great chat with nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx  and Lionel shriver on citadel dispatch (need to listen again). Good to hear it’s on the list. Pretty much the only book I’ve read that half way through I got upset that it would have to end. Not read any of their other work.


Yes #mandibles
I own the book. But need to finish some others before I start a new one


Couldn’t help clip this nostr:npub1pmhevxtlt3478pvmdqt7dftnv6zc2mzpdc569yjm6ks4k2jhezcs53uksr, it isn’t white flight, but rational people getting to hell out of dodge…… but they are trapped by their mortgages…… smells a lot like a #mandibles #fourthturning moment to me, #bitcoin   #flirtingwithbitcoinclips https://fountain.fm/clip/O2PcXPS0ubbUpxgityum


If you have not figured out self custody bitcoin yet, get your act together.

Feels like everything is heating up in the West, American Gov and allies are starting the expected crackdown.

Get your wealth into bitcoin. Get your bitcoin into your own wallets. ASAP.

I don't have the same story but my reason is the same. They tried to grab too much power and too many people, including myself in the beginning, were okay with it without fully thinking about the ramifications. Once I started to see what was really going on I snapped I to "fuck you" mode. They're going to have to take my Bitcoin by force


Aka Centralized communication


Nostr is about to pass 900,000 total pubkeys and 500,000 pubkeys that have bio information. NgU!

Dearest Nostr users from China,

Apple has complied with your government, again, and Damus will be removed from the Chinese App Store.

BUT DON'T FRET!

You can take your private and public keys and use them on ANY Nostr web client.

https://iris.to
https://snort.social
https://hamstr.to
https://astral.ninja

You can also download many of these clients and run them on your own computer, with a little bit of work.

Nostr is censorship resistant. You CAN continue to use it. You just need to work a little bit.


Old rich guy who can barely send emails thinks america should follow communist china's lead and ban freedom money.

If you're looking for your Twitter followers and friends, one of the best ways to do this is to visit https://snort.social/new and use their tool to find them. The only caveat is that Twitter users must first verify their account ownership with nostr.directory.


The #[0] team is working hard to sift through the aftermath of the Damus cyclone. Post below, or DM us your favorite stories or news that we might otherwise miss! 🤙

I just realized that this will probably spawn a new service where Twitter will hold your “private keys” as a custodial service for you via your profile - connected to your email address.  Then they will get to say they are “decentralized” but they continue their charade.   This will be SBF with #Bitcoin all over again 🤯. If Twitter doesn’t, some other organization will try it.  Remember #plebchain, not your keys not your voice!!!


**Tech Giants Will become Nostr Clients**

#[0]

Tech giants will become #Nostr clients not because they can, but because they will be forced to. Unfortunately this is not a good prediction; a good prediction says not only what will happen, but also when, and I cannot predict the latter. For decades, tech giants like Facebook and Twitter have been enjoying their monopolies gained from seigniorage. This benefited two generations greatly: the boomers and their children. Out of leisure they happily accepted the product as presented to them. Over time, social media was forced to monetize, and users were herded onto platforms they didn't sign up for. The easiest way to monetize free products to users was by selling the user’s attention to advertisers.

Just like no one bought a laptop without an OS, the OS was considered free of charge when in fact it was bundled with bloatware paid for by advertisers.
So, for the first time, the keepers of massive social media platforms have been taunted with a viable decentralized competitor. Will they pivot to the Nostr protocol? Yes, I think they’ll be forced to. Will they create algorithms to manipulate and profit from users? Of course they will. Will they be able to create elaborate walled gardens to monetize your data? Not anymore. Early nostr users flocked to an idea that liberates us from these giant abusive platforms, and more will follow. We now have the luxury of choice.
