 The overlapping of Bitcoiners and Christianity is super weird to me. 

If, as a bitcoiner, you resist the idea of centralization AND also reject the idea that we as individuals should place unwavering faith into any single human figurehead (Jesus), then you would think most Bitcoiners would be non-religious. 

It’s an interesting correlation I’ve observed that doesn’t make logical sense to me. 
 Exactly. Yet some Bitcoiners are still hardcore Christians. 
 This looks amazing. Enjoy ❤️

 I think about this a lot. Bitcoin is a step away from artificiality/abstraction and towards real world physics/nature. 

Ironic since it’s digital, which is typically the former. This is the beauty and elegance of Bitcoin’s design. 

Thank you Satoshi for bringing us back to truth and nature. #bitcoin nostr:note1phnnr4vczhvqdy73mr3vlf2qwekqlxxzw2g70stwfhyyctv5mx2q64chy0

 Can you elaborate on what’s being worked on?

I’m bullish on nostr but it has quite a long way to go. Discoverability of content is probably the biggest issue. I’d like to see more open source/custom algorithms to help with this.

 Great book. Only critique is that Bitcoin fails in this.

 My bitcoin node ran out of storage space. Anybody have any recommendations what to do? It’s taking up 757GB of space. Not sure if that’s normal or not. #asknostr #bitcoin #help 
 Looks like electrs doesn’t support pruned node which I am using to connect to sparrow wallet. 

Leaning towards bigger SSD. Is there a quick way to resync blockchain so it’s not starting from scratch? Take a backup of the files from my current SSD perhaps? 
 Not supported by Electrs which I’m using to connect to sparrow wallet. 
 Was looking into this but electrum app doesn’t support pruned nodes which I use to connect to my sparrow wallet privately
