Spending bitcoin got me thinking in sats. In fact, I make sure every wallet I use displays sats

Now that Saylor is calling people "paranoid crypto anarchists" for taking self-custody (lmao), that may have reminded people to hold their private keys and to prepare for tough times


lmao 🤣


Consider that those plebs may not have supported sovereignty in the first place. There are people (even here) who genuinely believe that Bitcoin is destined for regulatory capture


I think it's important to understand that to misunderstand a person is a choice, and nobody is obligated to redeem themselves from others' false narratives. Better to cut contact than to "win them over"

Scum of the earth. Fire and fucking brimstone.


Been feeling the same way recently, I've honestly gotten pretty bored of bitcoin talk unless it's about building a native economy. I blame the bull run, people are a lot more focused on building Actual Things™when they aren't going gaga over the fiat price. I'd much rather talk about music, so many people dropped bangers this year


Their proposals can get rugged at any time, usually when people feel like they have breathing room. I'm not a believer in the whole argument of "I'd rather support someone who won't throw us in jail" because there are more effective ways that the state and banks can capture bitcoin (ETFs, "dark ledgers," nationalizing the Bitmain and Antpool cartels, etc). After my visit to the 757, I'm starting to think that merchants will have to lead the charge in growing bitcoin rather than vying for legitimacy in the eyes of normies. Merchants are more likely to have the balls to challenge the status quo than consumers I think


Do you really think that "pro-bitcoin" politicians will help grow the bitcoin economy? https://audio.nostr.build/e4d69bd75d384aba9f9bbcf0a673dfe585288fe62b702005fa8ec4a64899130e.webm

SHITCOINS


I don’t care what Coppertops in the matrix think.
I don’t care if nostr scales, or is convenient.
I care if it’s free.
Decentralized, and free.
I expect it will scale, and will become easy to use, because of the amount of time and money going on that direction.
But it’s not the most important thing.
It needs to be free, decentralized, and reproducible by a small group of people in a tyrannical country.
If it isnt that, it has already failed.


Nostr doesn't need 2 million users to "make it," either. The real metric is censorship resistance

If only payjoins and coinjoins were common practice...although I prefer the tradeoffs of a transparent ledger (and to use higher layers for privacy), I wonder if there's any escape from this KYC matrix that has been woven over the internet


It's a very shitty practice that discourages people from discovering npubs on their own accord and it makes discussions pretty narrow in focus. I think that should be strictly optional, from a set of lists


It's also refreshingly sincere after wading through so many shows with ironic and quippy writing

lol what a dick


V4V is a world apart from the usual tactics of monetizing followers seen elsewhere. It will take time for people to figure out how to navigate this, perhaps subscription models we've never seen before (NIP42 is very underrated)

Another problem is that a lot of clients are xitter clones, some of which that select relays for new users and select which npubs to follow. It's easy to forget that Nostr is not xitter sometimes, especially since most of the big npubs import their content and followers from xitter, along with all the baggage that brings. Experimenting with different client interfaces can help with the discoverability problem that Nostr is facing now

Most bitcoiners could care less who comes to NOSTR.  We want to grow the community for the same reasons we want to grow Bitcoin.

NOSTR is part of the “freedom tech stack” and so it appeals to bitcoiners.

We shouldn’t be seen as the problem…instead, we help to keep the flame burning.

We want the whole world here…all communities.

In short, unfair generalization.


I wish that he wouldn’t talk like this about CSE. This standard would land most tech CEOs including Linda in jail. Phones would eventually be banned, cameras and the internet all together. That’s not a solution.

Unfortunately, even before all of those things were invented children were abused. Jailing tech CEOs won’t stop this abuse. Banning platforms won’t stop the abuse. As a society we should attack the root causes to prevent these crimes before they happen and end up online in the first place.

Yes, meta has been a horrible tech company at times. I’m not standing up for meta.

Unfortunately, a decent portion of the CSE content is self-generated by the minors. Education and awareness for parents and children before these problems occur is a better pathway forward. Safety tools are also helpful. Online child safety starts at home. If home isn’t safe that’s a different conversation. It’s not a tech providers responsibility to make homes safe. It’s not their responsibility to make the world safe.

The conversation about Telegram will land on encryption as it pertains to CSAM. I stand firm in my belief that survivors also deserve digital privacy rights and strong encryption. Violating the human rights of all to potentially prevent one type of crime is another form of abuse. https://i.nostr.build/4jHFw3QFt5YXDMPh.jpg

The CSAM censorship attack vector is weaker on #Nostr, than on platforms, as the protocol is designed to host media separately from text content.

No relay contains any child pornography and taking media down at source has no effect on the events that linked to it.

I’ve poured myself into the StealthMiner design for the last year and today I am wrapping up the public release of 9/10 units after some shipping heartaches on the first failed attempt.

I went back to the drawing board and beefed up the design to be truly rigid locking all the components in for the abuse carriers throw at shipments…

What could be a long story short… as the love of my life was preparing us dinner, I was pulling machines from final tuning and packaging them to for tomorrow’s shipment in the kitchen sharing the space with her (my favorite activity). She told me she was proud of me and described watching to evolution happen.

Fast forward to after dinner and I thanked for her for cooking us a meal without my help tonight, and as she said “thankyou for playing with your ₿itcoins”

Wow...I've been going through something similar recently. Over the past four years, I've mentally diverged from some people I've known for over a decade. The willful ignorance, status-chasing, and dog-eat-dog nihilism of Fiatnam have become unbearably grating to me (not all normies are like this, but I see where it comes from). I don't need anyone like that in my life

When it feels right to drop dead weight, it's time. What's cool is that there's no need for a big showdown or confrontation like in the movies. They aren't worth the energy


Absolutely based


"It is an absolute human certainty that no one can know his own beauty or perceive a sense of his own worth until it has been reflected back to him in the mirror of another loving, caring human being."

Social graph for curation? That's a very enticing concept. That reminds me of how I have a friend who looks to me for film recommendations since we have similar taste and perspective on the medium.

What happens if tether demand decreases? Who will part with their bitcoin for Treasury bonds unless they're a captured operation like Tether or held at gunpoint? How long can these Lutnick-type fiat fatcats pass the bag to each other until they demand payment in something other than dollars?

Fear and coercion should not be underestimated as a means of sustaining hegemony. After all, people handed white envelopes to the Gambinos for decades. However, when Bitcoin enables people to pave their way around any regime, that places people in new territory. So far it seems to me that this so-called bitcoindollar phase may just be another one of fiat's death-throes

I can't not paste this quote.

"A way can be a guide, but not a fixed path;
Names can be given, but not permanent labels.
Nonbeing is called the beginning of heaven and earth;
Being is called the source of all things.
Always passionless, thereby observe the subtle;
Ever intent, thereby observe the apparent.
These two come from the same source but differ in name;
Both are considered mysteries.
The mystery of mysteries
Is the gateway of marvels."

“The view that the world is a system of determinism is an invention of thought that we impose upon the world. The notion that life must be understood and managed in terms of causal chains, where every event is a mere link in the chain, prevents us from understanding the fundamental nature of life as a continuous, creative, spontaneous, and flowing process.”

PSA

everything the government says about itself is bullshit

all of its statistics are distorted and deliberately misinterpreted

everything one government says about another is also bullshit

if you let bullshit use execution time in your wetware you will end up wasting a lot of your mind on useless nonsense that is designed to waste your processing so they can swipe your whole income from you by every possible means they can devise

one of the most central and basic methods of manipulation is to use deceptive words, illogical equations, fabricate facts, reassign meaning, and the general term for it is "confusion"

the function of confusion to lying bitches like the people in government is to stop you from thinking about how they are lying to you, and to drool like a pavlov dog when they command you with their bells

and this is also why at some point there is going to be too many people using nostr and bypassing their bullshit sources and clearing the confusion from their mind and taking the right actions towards ceasing the harm being done to them and increasing the number of people who understand what is going on

there will eventually be a naked emperor situation... the whole world has turned so tyrannical in the last 150 years

They still pay a bunch of upkeep costs in fiat, as well. It's a real pickle

I've had frustrating conversations with people recently who have survivorship bias from living in the US. Amongst them, there's an utter lack of what an egregious political incursion that the COVID lockdowns were and they have no inclination to become resistant to those incursions. That led me to adopting freedom tech

As for sound money, people are already in talks about fractional reserve schemes with Bitcoin, with all of the rug risk that comes with them. From what I know, that won't last forever with a supply cap but people will keep trying so long as there's demand for it


Funny you mention bitcoin mining since I've found a lot of complacency there. The FPPS dominance and all-time lows of miner reserves are heading towards a collision course if things don't change enough in a cycle or two


Hope your trigger discipline improved since then lolol

I think that Bitcoin intersects with Christianity very well in some places, certainly more than fiat. Lately I've been following Bible discussions on Nostr and it's a salve from the dog-eat-dog nihilism of Fiatnam

FOR THE RECORD, I got further info and...this is real


If you are on NOSTR you are on a list. If you have a bank account, drivers license, government ID you are on a list. Birth certificate? Social Security number? Both lists. Own a gun, list. Buy a house or car, list list and list. Ever been to a doctor, have health insurance? Own a smartphone? Not only does that put you on several lists but you are transmitting gigs of data about yourself to your service provider and the companies that developed every app you installed.

It’s not about being on a list, we are all on a bunch of government lists. It’s about not giving a fuck and living one’s life regardless. It’s also about teaching them about government overreach so they can work on limiting government as they become adults. Oops, I said “limit government” now I’m on another list 😀

I have met a half decent no. of dreamers and gamers at this point.

Both are charming and deadly in the their own ways.

Gamers focus on winning. They are great goal-oriented executors. But they could stop experimenting with and/or fully experiencing the game itself, missing the point. Even worse: they could only care about winning and end up playing any game. Bad.

Dreamers focus on the dream (duh), the vision! They are the souls of the society and hope for our human race. But they could end up always be dreaming and not influencing things in the materialistic world enough - it is an equal part of manifestation. Sad.

Are you a gamer? Are you a dreamer?

It’s bad and sad either way. But at least we’d all be charming and deadly in our own ways.

So we’d all find company.

Self-custody is for anyone, not everyone. Sovereign-minded people have that option available to them. It's opted into. That's the point. Therein lies the true price of freedom—I can't bring everyone with me.

I agree about the simping. Everything takes place in the open here, and some of the bizarre incentives at play are unsightly. Weird witch hunts, cults of personality, and mindless product shilling. That's also one of the reasons why I don't listen to many podcasts. I've rigorously sculpted my feed to tune out the "PODCONF" narratives and now I'm satisfied with the amount of signal I have.

You're totally wrong about the amount to development happening here. There's so much fucking FREEDOM being made here that I could burst. I don't know anywhere else where I can find liberty-minded people doing actionable things. Everywhere else I go, people seem to be waiting for a savior.

It's an IMF bill. Not just the government. They destroy every country they can if they find collaborators (aka the government) against the people. Keep that in mind...


I was present #bitcoin ✊🏽🧡

Today in Nairobi, Kenya, at the heart of the protests against the Finance Bill 2024. Kenyans are fed up with the government's unfair tax burden. These excessive, illogical taxes feel like daylight robbery!

And as a Kenyan #Bitcoiner, I stand in solidarity with this movement. I believe in separating money from the state. This kind of financial manipulation wouldn't be possible with a decentralized system.

It's encouraging to see Kenyans, especially the youths waking up to the lies, manipulation, and injustice we’ve been facing for years!! This is a prime opportunity for us in the #Bitcoin community to spread awareness further than ever before. Bitcoin offers real hope in times like these.

Even though the Finance Bill was passed a few hours ago, we’re still hopeful we’re gonna win this war against a corrupt government . A revolution has just began! Just watch! Viva!!✊🏽🧡

A few thoughts on free will.

Free will involves self sovereignty, from the simplest of organisms to the more advanced species.

When we ask if free will exists, we are asking if sovereignty and free agency is possible.

Free will can be viewed as a spectrum, from low degrees of sovereignty to higher capacity for autonomy.

If we are intoxicated, our freedom of deliberation is clearly impacted. If we had a brain implant that forced us to carry out someone else's command, we would basically have zero free will, hence no sovereignty.

Considering this spectrum then, from lower to higher degrees of sovereignty, it makes sense to define the higher echelons of self sovereignty as free will, as contrasted by its opposite; complete subjugation to the will of another.

If I would sum up the arguments against free will, in the most favorable way I could steel-man it, what I hear is this: you are the sum of your parts. Hence you must act within the confines of your personality.

This does not contradict the definition of free will as self-sovereignty. We are free to build and change our inner environment to our heart's content. We are free to build positive or negative responses to our experiences. We are free to explore any subject and press beyond our previous boundaries. This doesn't mean that we are without flaws and limitations, just that we have the potential to be sovereign.

We know that colors exist because we can observe a whole spectrum of colors that can be differentiated. Saying that colors doesn't exist gives us no practival advantage when we are dealing with colors, quite the contrary.

Free will is a spectrum that defines the extent of our self sovereignty and free agency. It makes little sense to claim that sovereignty and individual autonomy doesn't exist, unless we want sovereignty to not exist.

It would be a disastrous mistake to claim that an obedient cog-in-the-wheel, who is requiered to follow its commands without the chance of refusing, is equivalent to a free-willed individual with the capacity to break free from its bonds and challenge every command.

Free will exists because we can observe a spectrum of free agency and the more of it we have, the more sovereign we are.

Free agency exists.
The opposite is slavery.

Had dinner with some boomer-age family friends tonight who shared stories about their grandparents and other relatives who survived (or didn’t survive) the holocaust.

One family, posing as Christians, managed to escape Poland to the US in 1939.  They had to travel through Nazi Germany and Italy on their journey.

This family invested much of their life savings into expensive camera equipment to not raise suspicion, as they were traveling under the pretense of going on holiday.

The conversation developed into all the ways people attempted to conceal and travel with wealth as they fled their homeland.  Apparently, sewing diamonds into clothing was a common tactic.

These close friends were struck to hear how Bitcoin enables the storage and transfer of wealth by simply knowing a secret number.  I told them of the work nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu and others are doing to get Bitcoin knowledge and tools into the hands of political activists and refugees.

As a parent who homeschools his seven-year-old, I have often wonder if we are doing enough for my son. Are we providing him with the correct information at the right time to help his brain grow and understand the world? When we leave this place, I want him to handle himself, survive, thrive, produce grand things, and, most importantly, find happiness.

One common concern about homeschooling is socialization. If you ever met my son, you would know this is not an issue. He’s outspoken, knowledgeable about many subjects, and has much to say to everyone. While he can be socially awkward at times, he’s also a wild human living in a suburb of Chicago. He conforms to certain social norms, but not all of them.

We expose him to social environments with kids around his age, such as:
- "Get Your Game On" at the local library on the second and fourth Fridays every month, where he plays video games with kids and preteens.
- Gymnastics with the Sokol group.
- Trips to the zoo, museums, and nature centers.
- Time with his cousins and playdates
- We're also considering joining the local Boy Scouts, where I learned many skills and made great memories.

A proud moment happened at today’s "Get Your Game On" at the library. We walked into the basement hallway, where two rooms of kids were waiting for the games to start. A group of three boys, around 12 years old, saw my son, stood up, and walked over. One said, “I love this kid; he's so funny!” They asked how he’d been and what he was doing over the summer break as they walked into the room chatting.

#proofofwork #homeschool #prouddad


What you’re saying should not be controversial at all. And yet it seems to be a recurring theme. Violating everyone’s right under the guise of protecting the vulnerable. Eventually it becomes obvious it was all about money and power.


The nephilim scum have been at it for a while. Only a centralizing entity like a government could have enabled the atrocity that was the Neoslavery Era (the "last slave" was freed in 1942). I've had an ardent hatred for glowies ever since I've found out about COINTELPRO as a teen, and it is vivifying to find out that the ways to slip out of their grasp is increasing.

Juneteenth is a hollow platitude by the perpetrators. The real emancipation is freedom tech


Xitter in shambles!!!

Mandibles book reading...but Nostr exclusive!


Glad I was able to clear that up. I'd argue that tying skin color to virtue is part of that frame, too (I grew up in the US where that is common), and it's a divide-and-conquer tactic used by wokes and ethnic nationalists. nostr:npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku isn't referring to skin color at all


I was going on a tangent to point out that I've encountered poseurs who pretend to care about people like me while pulling people into a frame that ultimately subjugates and debases everyone


Definitely not, I'm not even white


Yeah, it's an attempt to pull people into a frame that's like walking through a hall of funhouse mirrors. A projection of "abstract power," if you will

That isn't me being snide, either, it's just the nature of Bitcoin because you don't NEED to invest any money at all, as Bitcoin already gives you nosebleed-high returns in increased purchasing power.

Bitcoin makes investing about building real things that people desire and value, not about "making money with money".

As someone who grew up when only doctors and drug dealers had pagers (and later, cellular telephones), some things still strike me as being bizarre.

For example, buying things from someone used to be that you gave the person money (which we now call "cash") and they're give you the object.

Now, people need a big tech/finance company who decide whether these people can do business, or even make a donation! Sexy photos? PayPal says no. A hunting rife for your daughter? Nope. Wikileaks. LOL, no.

For legal purchases, it seems very strange that a private company would decide what is allowed. It's stranger yet that most people think this is just normal and acceptable.

I've been enjoying buying things from local establishments whenever I can and paying in cash. It's not that I'm trying to hide the quantity of shredded cheese I buy from the grocery store, which local artists I support, or how much I donate to non-profits. It's just a return to a simpler time and a way to stick it to big corporations and data collectors.

For influencers, they profit by complaining. They don’t want a real solution because then their midwit audience revenue would dry up. Tons of big names are susceptible to it. Brand, Rogan, Greenwald, Tucker, JBP, Weinsteins, on and on. Instead it’s all about “rebuilding institutions”.

For general public, they also don’t want a real solution because of extreme nihilism. Hope is vulnerability. Easier to be paranoid schizophrenic.

ecash without this change trading scheme has a serious metadata tracing vulnerability

Thanks, Dirac. Freedom of association may be the least discussed and most underrated aspect of Bitcoin

I care MORE about people after studying bitcoin. They should meet some of my fiat earther friends


"Being able to choose who to trust, and having tools to help you do that as efficiently and as minimally as possible, is almost as much of a superpower as not having to trust at all."

Freedom of association, soup du jour. It's probably one of the most underrated aspects of freedom tech


Great thumbnail 😂


I've always found the "be the best, fuck the rest" attitude to be the type of nihilism that led us to the fiat-flooded hellscape we're in today. At the same time, I've been in the space for nearly a full cycle and I've grown to accept that some people in the space don't care about what their peers are fighting for. That's fine. That isn't the battle they've chosen, and that battle is harder to wage than it seems. Plenty of freedom fighters to find here in the meantime


Word. "Fuck you money" is not an amount

There is no purity test. Everyone has different views. Respect those that care about separating money from the state and listen to them. Those that don’t regard separation of money and state as the goal, you can discard their opinion. Yes, this is a purity test.

Truly heartbreaking. I'm trying to warn certain people around me about this (without even saying the b-word) but it really looks like they're gonna learn the hard way and all I can do is accept it. I really don't want them to get squeezed like this


This is the future we are heading towards. P2P services being pushed into exclusionary practices based on prosecutor witch hunts acting on the interests of a global mass surveillance cabal. Unacceptable. https://m.primal.net/ILtZ.jpg https://m.primal.net/ILta.jpg


Trying to attract and hook users as fast as possible is venture capital exit strategy thinking. We are bringing back the open web, outside of the big tech silos. It entails creating compelling software of every type, not just twitter clones, over nostr, and people will organically find the value and that's how it grows.


:Bitcoin:


i feel very strongly that the future of nostr will involve a lot of people running local cache relays and an as yet undefined mechanism to discover these relays because it will massively increase the decentralisation of the network and throw gigatons of water on any fire existing to stifle the flow of information

in case it isn't clear

i'm here on nostr to help build a communication protocol that resists manipulation, not "censorship" MANIPULATION and both adding and stopping the addition of data that is inconvenient for some psychopathic megalomaniac is my dream come true


Couldn't even imagine it. E-cash is awesome 😎

THEIR power DOES NOT come from FIAT. It comes from gatekeeping access to the ECONOMY.

Bitcoin is a new territory of freedom from which WE can create a new economy that THEY CANNOT GATEKEEP.

Bitcoin DOES NOT defund the State. WE DO.


All the fucking time it seems. 😂 They think they're above bitcoin or something


Stop listening to people that tell you Andreas Antonopoulos is a shitcoin don't listen to him.. thats the worst advice any bitcoiner can tell someone that wants to genuinely learn about bitcoin.. i dont care what Andreas did or is into his information is priceless and many need to listen to his videos way way more


👏 I fully endorse the expropriation of shitcoin tech wherever it makes sense


I really hate it when people dunk on Laszlo and his historic purchase. Bitcoin doesn't increase in value automatically. At some point, there's such a thing as having too many bitcoin


We are very early. The vast majority of people are somehow convinced that they don't need to study Bitcoin, despite their constant complaining about inflation. Also, I think that a bitcoin standard being established before fiat fucks off forever is a likely scenario. It's gonna take a long time, probably more than a lifetime. Hyperinflation can last decades

Now I get why we are obsessed with that number

Anyways 1 BTC = 1 BTC


I forgot about that 😂


I believe Bitcoin is intentionally transparent, for a number of reasons. One of those reasons is the anonymity set delta.

The smaller you are, the larger your anonymity set.

The larger you are, the smaller your anonymity set.

This makes it expensive for governments to hide their actions, but cheap for individuals.

Why fuck Underworld? Just curious, haven't seen them yet. I love Blade though


:Bitcoin:


The scammers have figured out that the banks are giving loans to anyone. So the scam is ppl are not caring qbout paying it back. Scammers are filling out fake information for loans and going half on 8k less than 10k for ppl that need to pay in the hood. Its so easy but in the long run not good.. this happens multiple times in every hood. Just for you rich ppl wondering how and where some of those loan money is going.


Before I discovered Bitcoin, I had no desire to start a family. Now I want mad kids


It's even better when they all give the strain different names 😆


Even in a world where fiat still exists, there is such a thing as having too much bitcoin. I realized early on that I won't be as young as I am today in two or three cycles, and there's a limit to how long I can leave my life on pause to accumulate corn. Considering that has altered my mindset significantly


One of the reasons why bitcoin is scarce is so they would be spent

Exploring Quasimoto: Madlib's Evil Twin

Quasimoto, the alter-ego of rapper and producer Madlib, is one of the most unusual and entertaining characters in hip-hop. With his high-pitched voice and penchant for offbeat beats and rhymes, Quasimoto has been delighting fans since his debut album, "The Unseen," was released in 2000.

But who is Quasimoto, exactly? Some say he's a cartoon character brought to life, others claim he's a product of Madlib's wild imagination. The truth, however, is even more bizarre. According to Madlib, Quasimoto is his "evil twin," was created during a ps*locybin mushroom trip while in the studio.

The rapper and producer famously said "If I didn't do Magic Mushr*oms, I'd probably just be doing Hip-Hop".
While ingesting the drug certainly shaped the record's vibe, the producer remembers those trips for how they helped his workflow:

"They just kept me up so I can record a lot of stuff in a short period of time and not care about it, you know what I mean?"

Despite his questionable origins, Quasimoto has become a cult favorite among hip-hop fans, thanks to his unique style and offbeat sense of humor. His rhymes are often nonsensical and stream-of-consciousness, but they're also clever and infectious.

And let's not forget about his production skills, which often feature samples from obscure and unexpected sources, such as old B-movies and TV themes.

But Quasimoto's appeal isn't just limited to hip-hop heads. His music has been praised by critics and musicians across genres, and he's even been featured in an episode of the Cartoon Network show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force."

The character of Quasimoto is not meant to be taken literally but rather as a representation of Madlib's artistic expression.

So, if you're looking for something different and entertaining in your hip-hop, look no further than Quasimoto. Just make sure you don't trip while listening, or you might end up with an evil twin of your own. https://video.nostr.build/0c43f34ecee59c3bee10315819f36d4c8fe1f16fddd606097c0c5401078e98e6.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/361715d475afc8644166c393c60719f30731492637c34302215fc35230b2ed07.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/0d25c85f102baf3c1e335bf321fdd461ff157e2a863a2a36ac09d5802fa7e896.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/bf6fe862c15bd6f7e9e314edbccfb9b37b26060e833575aeaf83e8cdf76bb36b.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/8e23485b6445981beae65f1e1ac492e61242e838220714bdecb625b0e4e17bea.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/e41b605235b95e535a96558b9d6962dee49a12ece9acb211ab161fa9f169aa97.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/3afdc5c12f12b2f0383aebca14ce9437c6efd627c1d6918a0d3afb951a96b9b4.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/c300c3c453c71f2dde0bf5a70b9650dd35cdcba43517b3dc6adbf28dd3814da0.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/6107069f28c650a14df54349b83da7036833c5f072ec0a76a2d1f07083751961.mp4

No. Unlike fiat, Bitcoin acknowledges greed with its supply schedule and difficulty adjustment. Also, after a certain point, it's a lot more useful being spent than hoarded since it's value goes up over time

Homemaking is great since it promotes self-governance


I have a thread [here](https://twitter.com/super_testnet/status/1791100612337185263) where I outline why I think this is so cool. Here I've copy pasted it with slight modifications:

At its core it's "just" escrow software. It helps you create a 2 of 3 multisig where the escrow agent has 1 of the keys and the buyer and seller have the other two. But it's particularly cool because it takes that to the next level: it supports frost multisig, which makes it one of the first bitcoin apps to actually use taproot for what it was meant for, and it's also designed so that users can reuse their bitcoin as collateral in multiple contracts without actually moving it. So you can use this as the basis for bitcoin layer twos.

I also *love* what they do with their integrated signing device. There's this separate little module that holds your keys and does all of the signing, so the website never has your keys, it just asks this module if you want to sign the contracts, and the module asks *you.*

I would love to see that piece in particular spun off into its own little app. Too few bitcoin apps do this "separation of concerns" thing where your signing device is separate from the apps you interact with. The signing module could change all that and is worth a lot on its own.

> **Sovereign Origin asked me the following question on twitter**
> **"This one [the part about using bitcoin as collateral] is not clear. They can do what now? This sounds very interesting!!"**

I'm probably butchering this but I *think* it works like this. There are four people involved in every contract:

> Alice = buyer
> Bob = seller
> Carol = agent
> Bitescrow = coordinator

Alice's funds go into a 2 of 2 multisig with bitescrow and she gets a presigned "backout transaction" so that bitescrow never has custody of her funds. Suppose Alice wants to buy a car from Bob for $60k. Alice and Bob must first agree on who Carol should be (their agent, separate from bitescrow), then Alice gets bitescrow to cosign a transaction that would, if broadcast, move Alice's funds (1 btc) from the 2 of 2 multisig into a 2 of 3 multisig, where Alice, Bob, and Carol have the keys.

Now Alice sends Bob $60k "real" dollars (USD, not bitcoin). In the "happy path" Bob sends her the car and everyone is happy so Alice and Bob just cooperatively tell the escrow "nevermind, don't actually broadcast anything." And Alice's money thus stays in the 2 of 2 multisig with the escrow. If there's a dispute, bitescrow broadcasts the transaction putting the money into the 2 of 3 multisig whereupon what happens next is up to Carol, the agent: if she sides with Alice, that means Carol thinks Alice got jipped, so Alice gets her bitcoin back. If Carol sides with Bob, she thinks Alice never sent the USD, so Bob gets Alice's money.

But in the "happy path" Alice's money never moved! It still remains in her original 2 of 2 multisig with bitescrow, so she can reuse it in another contract. Your bitcoin is used as collateral for contracts where you actually send *something else* (not bitcoin) and only use bitcoin as a fallback in case there is a dispute. This should scale really well, and it's also neat that bitescrow never custodies any user funds. They do have to be trusted not to collude with Alice though.

I think that's the basic model but @BlueSlime or @Tristan can correct my errors.


Keep sacrificing freedom for convenience and you'll end up with your holdings taken too.


I think Bisq 2 is addressing UX, and if they stay on course, it'll be as easy as Coinbase, minus the naked mole rat. Definitely important to point out that people don't need to be a software devs to contribute to software projects, even outside of the bitcoin space

Our neighbors redid their house last year, which unleashed roof rats into our neighborhoods. Three of them were in our Jasmine bush so we had to take it out.

The rats are gone, but a weed started growing where they were.

Sharing genetics? You lost me there


Yeah, competition > cronyism/corporatism


There is no precedent for institutions to be banned from freely holding BTC


Their regulatory scheme is used to justify KYC/AML


Always a solid plan


The door to emancipation is always open
