So, I just spent about half an hour attempting to connect my Minibits ecash wallet to Stacker.News using NWC. As I found a way to make it work, I figured I'd make a post so hopefully in the future someone can save a little time.

When you create a NWC string in Minibits, it doesn't differentiate between connections for sending payments, and connections for receiving them. I attempted to just paste the same connection string in both fields with no luck, as well as attempting to generate a new connection string for use in the "receive" field. This also was unsuccessful.

##### The Workaround:

The solution I found is to just paste the connection string from Minibits in the "for sending" field and save. Once this is done, go back to the wallet connection selection page, and select lightning address for receiving payments. Enter your @minibits.cash address into the field and save.

This worked for me, I am now able to send and receive zaps to my Minibits wallet from Stacker.News.

Things could change in the future, if they do I will try my best to report back on any new info I have regarding this.

Woof!

Connecting Minibits to Stacker.News via NWC


Ok, so that didn't work, but I did find a workaround.

I just took the connection string from Minibits, entered it in the "Connection for Sending" field on Stacker News, then added my Minibits LN address as a receive option.

Couldn't get the string to work in their "Receive field, but since I can use the LN address as a different option for receiving zaps, it all works out.


Hmm. Worth a shot.

Stacker News is asking for separate connection strings for sending and receiving, and I'm just not seeing that distinction when I create a connection strings in Minibits...

Get On Zero (Fiat): 2024 Edition
================================

![](https://bitcoinbarks.com/gallery_gen/17ee0f5dc4ab0d2da35213096856915b_fit.webp)

# Theory:

The #GetOnZero movement advocates transitioning entirely to Bitcoin, abandoning holding fiat currency in daily life. The goal is to maintain maximal exposure to Bitcoin while minimizing exposure to traditional fiat currencies. Proponents of #GetOnZero believe that by converting all their money into Bitcoin, they not only commit fully to the Bitcoin ecosystem but also protect themselves against inflation and other potential issues with fiat money.

While I wouldn't say there is much debate on exactly what qualifies as being "OnZero", there are definitely a number of different interpretations. Some may argue that truly being "OnZero" requires completely opting out of fiat rails, and finding ways to directly pay in bitcoin for all expenses. Personally, I take a slightly more relaxed view, simply pushing for the avoidance of fiat currencies and instruments as savings and investment vehicles, and keeping all our stored value in bitcoin.

While the value of being completely "OnZero" are apparent during periods of significant price appreciation against the dollar, I will be the first to acknowledge the potential losses that could result from holding to this strategy during periods of significant negative price action. To this end, I have created a 3-tiered system of strategies, with each strategy tailored to specific market conditions. I understand that the most zealous lazer-eyed #GetOnZero proponents, the strategies below may not align with their personal philosophy on what the strategy is supposed to represent.

Take what you will from the strategies laid out below, it is my intent to provide a systematic list of actions to be taken in different market conditions, in an attempt to make things more approachable to the average reader.

------------------------
# GetOnZero Strategies:

### Bull Strategy: Expenses on credit, income to Sats, sell once monthly to pay Fiat bills

**Description:** This approach involves using credit cards or lines of credit for all expenses throughout the month. Meanwhile, income is converted immediately into bitcoin (sats). At the end of the month, a portion of Bitcoin is sold to cover the credit card bill and any other fiat-denominated obligations.

-   **Pros:**
    -   Maximizes bitcoin holdings throughout the month, allowing for potential price appreciation.
    -   Credit cards can offer rewards that can further offset expenses or even be converted into sats.
-   **Cons:**
    -   Requires a disciplined approach to avoid accumulating debt.
    -   May expose you to volatility risk if bitcoin's value drops before the end-of-month payment.

### Crab Strategy: Expenses on credit, reserve Fiat until EOM, pay bills, stack difference

**Description:** In this method, income is initially held in fiat. Expenses are paid using credit, but instead of immediately converting fiat to bitcoin, it is done at the end of the month, once all bills are paid. The remaining balance (after paying bills) is then converted to bitcoin.

-   **Pros:**
    -   Provides a safety net against bitcoin price volatility during the month.
    -   Ensures that all fiat obligations are covered before committing to bitcoin.
-   **Cons:**
    -   May reduce bitcoin exposure if the price appreciates during the month.
    -   Requires discipline to consistently allocate remaining fiat to bitcoin.

### Bear Strategy: Fiat Buffer (aka: NotOnZero...)

**Description:** This approach involves maintaining a fiat buffer to handle any unexpected expenses or market volatility. While income is mostly converted to bitcoin, a portion remains in fiat to provide liquidity and flexibility.

-   *When to use: This strategy may be appropriate in times of severe market uncertainty or for those transitioning gradually to the #GetOnZero lifestyle.*
-   **Pros:**
    -   Offers a cushion for unexpected fiat expenses, reducing the need to sell bitcoin unexpectedly.
    -   Can be adjusted based on individual risk tolerance and liquidity needs.
-   **Cons:**
    -   Reduces total exposure to bitcoin, potentially missing out on gains.
    -   May require active management to maintain the buffer and adjust it according to changing circumstances.

------------------------
# Liquidity Considerations:

Bitcoin's high correlation with global liquidity makes it a reliable barometer for macroeconomic conditions. According to recent analysis by [Lyn Alden](https://primal.net/p/npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a "https://primal.net/p/npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a") and [Sam Callahan](https://primal.net/p/npub1fpewuyx9rekj9487v2uawmg2any7tm7hpfw9at4q2r42u9jk792qg9vrkt "https://primal.net/p/npub1fpewuyx9rekj9487v2uawmg2any7tm7hpfw9at4q2r42u9jk792qg9vrkt"), bitcoin's price aligns with global liquidity trends in 83% of 12-month periods, demonstrating its sensitivity to central bank policies and money supply changes. [(Bitcoin: A Global Liquidity Barometer)](https://www.lynalden.com/bitcoin-a-global-liquidity-barometer/ "https://www.lynalden.com/bitcoin-a-global-liquidity-barometer/")

Given bitcoin's responsiveness, different #GetOnZero strategies may be effective depending on liquidity environments:

-   **The Bull Strategy** is ideal in *increasing liquidity environments*, where bitcoin's value is more likely to rise, and the individual can benefit from holding sats longer before converting.

-   **The Crab Strategy** is suitable for *flat or slightly decreasing liquidity environments*, as it provides a way to manage fiat expenses and avoid forced bitcoin sales during short-term downturns.

-   **The Bear Strategy** is a possible strategy for *periods of sharp reductions in liquidity* which have historically accompanied bear markets in bitcoin. It is specifically not being "On Zero", but that doesn't mean there might not be times where that itself is a good strategy.

The paper emphasizes that while bitcoin's long-term price direction generally follows liquidity changes, short-term deviations can occur due to idiosyncratic events or internal market dynamics. Savers could monitor bitcoin-specific metrics like the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Z-score to gauge potential overvaluation or undervaluation periods. This, combined with global liquidity trends, allows for more informed strategy adjustments.

------------------------
# Pup's #GetOnZero Workflow:

So how do I live my life "OnZero"? Let's dig into it.

At present, my workflow most matches the "Bull Strategy", and I use Fold to make this an easy process.

[Fold](https://use.foldapp.com/r/7KYTK4CP "https://use.foldapp.com/r/7KYTK4CP"), (who is not sponsoring this), allows me to direct deposit my fiat paychecks and have them auto-converted to bitcoin. Within the app, I have 3 balances, A cash balance (Sutton Bank), a bitcoin balance (BitGo), and a reward balance.

![](https://bitcoinbarks.com/gallery_gen/a580eb255990a871dd0da3e0bb86ac3c_fit.png)

I use credit for all my spending throughout the month, matching fiat expenses to various cards that allow me to get the most rewards for using them. My paychecks are direct-deposited to Fold and auto-converted to bitcoin where it is held until the end of the month when my fiat bills are due. At the end of the month, I utilize Fold's "Push to Card" feature to sell the exact amount needed to make my fiat payments where it then appears ~10 minutes later in my cash balance.

![](https://bitcoinbarks.com/gallery_gen/584928789f8f269ef9216b17f3320f5b_fit.jpg)\
From there, its just a matter of paying my fiat bills via ACH, at which time Fold actually gives me sats back as rewards!

Additionally, Fold has partnerships with a number of companies and offers sats back on giftcard purchases. I will take advantage of these deals on occasion when the rewards exceed what I would earn from putting expenses on a credit card and paying it via ACH.

This section has ended up sounding way more like an advertisement than I intended, but I really can't recommend their services enough if they are available where you live. [Fold](https://use.foldapp.com/r/7KYTK4CP "https://use.foldapp.com/r/7KYTK4CP") greatly simplifies my Bitcoin life by bridging the worlds of fiat and bitcoin.

I know some may take issue with holding sats with a custodian, personally I just keep about a month of expenses there. I wholly recommend keeping your bitcoin in cold storage, but I can accept some risk on a small portion of my sats for the convenience it brings to my life. Between the option of keeping 1 month of expenses with a custodian in fiat, or in bitcoin, I'll happily choose the latter, but these are risks and tradeoffs that I have chosen to accept after doing my own research, and I would implore you to do your own research as well.

To bring this all to a close, I hope you have found this article informative, or at least entertaining. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about anything I have discussed here!

Pup's Double-Takes #002:
========================

"Should You Spend Bitcoin?"
===========================

![](https://bitcoinbarks.com/gallery_gen/2557e6678018c2effe0d2c78290d94c7_fit.png)

Welcome to Pup's Double-Takes, where I dive into the things that made me stop and say, 'Wait, what?' My goal is to unpack the curious and confusing, making it educational and, hopefully, a little entertaining along the way.

### PDT-002: Should You Spend Bitcoin?

*"Why would I buy anything with Bitcoin when the price could go up so much?"*

This question reflects a common debate about spending Bitcoin, but many discussions miss the forest for the trees regarding our broader economic activity. So let's take a step back and dive into what really matters.

### The Bitcoin Pizza Story

You've probably heard the story of Laszlo Hanyecz, who spent 10,000 Bitcoin on two Papa John's pizzas on May 22, 2010---a day now known as Bitcoin Pizza Day. At the time of writing, those 10,000 Bitcoin would be worth around $670 million. That's a staggering number, but notice my phrasing here. I did not say, "those pizzas would be worth $670 million." This is an important distinction.

Those pizzas were perishable, consumable goods that gave Laszlo value in the moment. Nobody would argue that pizza retains value over time---once it's eaten, it's gone. So, it doesn't make sense to say those pizzas were ever worth $670 million.

### What About You?

Here's the more interesting question: Did you buy any pizzas in 2010? Did you buy any Bitcoin?

You might think Laszlo was foolish for spending 10,000 Bitcoin on pizzas, but if you bought any pizzas or other goods in 2010 and didn't buy Bitcoin, you essentially made the same decision he did. You valued the goods and services you consumed more than you valued Bitcoin. And that's the real point here: Every financial decision you make reflects what you value in that moment.

At the time, Laszlo valued two pizzas more than he valued 10,000 Bitcoin. You, too, valued whatever you purchased more than Bitcoin---whether you were aware of Bitcoin or not.

### The Opportunity Cost of Every Transaction

Every transaction involves an opportunity cost---the value of the next best alternative you forgo when making a choice. When you spend money---whether it's Bitcoin, dollars, or any other currency---you're making a decision. You're choosing to exchange one form of value for another, and that decision comes at the expense of using that money for anything else.

When you bought a pizza with fiat currency, you were implicitly saying that the value of the pizza was worth more than anything else you could have done with that money at the time, whether that was purchasing a different good, or saving in Bitcoin, or some other store of value. And that's okay. This is how economics works for everyone.

This is where I take issue: Considering the potential future value of Bitcoin and deciding not to spend it reflects a narrow and incomplete view of your economic actions. When you spend Bitcoin on a pizza, you're giving up your stake in whatever future price action that Bitcoin may have seen. But the same consequences exist in every financial transaction you make.

Instead of focusing solely on the Bitcoin part of your financial life, I would argue we should take a more holistic approach.

### Cash Flow and Savings

Cash flow is simple: it's the difference between what you earn and what you spend. Ideally, your income is higher than your expenses, leaving you with a surplus of money ("labor receipts") to invest or save.

The second key concept is the quality of your savings vehicles. Bitcoin is seen by many as a superior store of value compared to fiat money, which loses purchasing power over time due to inflation. Bitcoin's finite and metered supply issuance means that it is likely to maintain its purchasing power against goods and services, unlike rapidly inflating fiat currencies. As a relatively small monetary network still early in its adoption cycle, it may even gain value against these goods and services over time, even if its value may swing wildly over shorter time frames as the market determines its present value.

This leads us to the reason I find it nonsensical to make any blanket statements about whether or not you should be spending Bitcoin.

### The Bitcoin Standard

If you denominate your life in Bitcoin terms, you will realize that every non-Bitcoin purchase comes at the expense of being able to hold Bitcoin. There is functionally no difference between paying for a pizza with Bitcoin or paying for it with fiat. In both cases, you have chosen to acquire a consumable good with value you had saved.

Am I arguing that you should blow your entire stack while retaining your fiat? Obviously not. But why would you be saving fiat in the first place?

Ultimately, there is an argument to be made for holding a small amount of fiat to cover necessary payments should the price of Bitcoin drop. However, the focus should not be on whether you are spending Bitcoin or fiat, but rather on the value you're exchanging.

### Conclusion

The real issue isn't the question of whether you should spend Bitcoin or fiat; it's the understanding that every financial transaction, regardless of currency, is a choice to exchange value.

Whether you're using Bitcoin or dollars to buy a pizza or pay your rent, you're parting with a portion of your stored value to obtaining a good or service you value, at the expense of obtaining anything else with that portion of stored value. The currency used is just the medium---it's the value you exchange that matters.

 nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u, made me think of part of your recent conversation with Sam Callahan.

It doesn’t even lead to their demise, it literally benefits society as a whole, even those who do *not* adopt it, because it makes trade more efficient and communication better.

It’s the exact same as saying if you didn’t adopt the internet you were “left behind and impoverished.” No you weren’t, every single service you use is still 100x more capable because *they* use the internet.


"This is why, despite its flaws, I see value in voting for the Progressive “money printer” for now. The risks of radically changing policy are severe and immediate. Continued expansion, by contrast, carries longer-term risks, allowing us to prepare strategically. If we use this time wisely to develop and fortify a parallel system, we may have a chance to mitigate the fallout when the existing system finally breaks down."

I'm Voting for the Money Printer

It really does read as though only 18 year olds should have the ability to vote...


Another critical point I almost missed (I was half-asleep while typing my earlier response) is the sheer challenge of actually paying down the debt at this point. While the threat of an accelerating inflationary spiral is a major concern for me, I'm not convinced that "properly" addressing it would be wise.

The U.S. and much of the world are deeply reliant on money printing, with the dollar as the global reserve currency. U.S. Treasuries don’t just form the backbone of the American financial system; they are integral to the global financial infrastructure.

Policies aimed at slowing our descent into what I believe is an inevitable hyperinflationary crisis would likely trigger seismic disruptions across financial markets. This could result in higher interest rates, collapses of major financial institutions, economic contraction, skyrocketing unemployment, and a sharp decline in tax revenues—among other negative effects.

In my view, addressing the debt problem in any substantial way would almost certainly lead to a severe depression that would ripple across the globe.

So, why do it now? The way I see it, catastrophe is on the horizon either way. Implementing meaningful fiscal responsibility only hastens the pain by "resetting" the global economy. Whether through action or inaction, tough times seem inevitable.

What if, instead, we continued to kick the can down the road? What if we kept printing money to keep the global financial system afloat, even as the debt-to-GDP ratio continues to soar? If we bought time, we could allow a parallel deflationary system to develop and grow. As more money flowed into this system, the value of its finite base unit could rise—a clear signal to the world that an alternative safe haven exists.

Perhaps, instead of rushing into a painful reset, we could buy time and build the solution. This is why, for now, I lean toward supporting continued monetary expansion.


Don't have the time to fully put my thoughts to text right now, but I found it really refreshing to read your blog post and see someone else who (at least according to my interpretation) is rational and finds themselves stuck in the political middle while having no faith in either party taking actions to improve the long-term outlook for the United States.

I agree with different points on different sides, but as neither party wishes to acknowledge the iceberg we are rapidly approaching, on a whim I find myself somewhat inclined to vote Progressive this time around.

They'll print like no one has printed before...

I think the system needs a jump-start, but not the jump-start I believe Trump would deliver. So I lean towards more of the same, accepting things getting 10% worse, but mostly continuing along the current track.

Trump has just enough qualities to be attractive, but not so much as to shift my view positive. His shitcoining and endless grift really bother someone like me who holds integrity and honesty above all. This is not to say that Trump has a monopoly on dishonesty, but if there is a "Bitcoin" candidate, I will hold them to a higher standard as they represent me more directly.

I'm sure many will read this and take issue with it, that's fine. I'm just a dog finding my way along the orange brick road, and mistakes will be made along the way. Until they reveal themselves, all I can do is follow my own moral compass, and choose what I deem to be the least bad option whenever I can.

Once again, thanks for your thoughts. I wish you all the best as you make your decision.

Until then, Make Zaps Great Again!

If nostr seems too quiet, just start posting notes in all caps. That'll do the trick.

Haha. Yeah, I have online nyms, and IRL nyms. XD


Honestly, I haven't pursued any Bitcoin IRL events. Trying to be more private with it.

I'm looking forward to the day when I start seeing people back home where I grew up etc getting into bitcoin. still don't know any friends who are bitcoiners. though I have plenty new friends through bitcoin


Yeah, I'm 4 years in now and have only even heard someone say "Bitcoin" IRL once in that time.

Can't wait until some people I know IRL get it and enter their 6-month beginner "I must orange pill everyone phase".

I will say, my phone didn't love dealing with the "God-of-Text-Walls" that was the backup for > 500 proofs.

The best method I found to "consolidate" these proofs was to add myself as a contact and send the full wallet balance back to myself. This resulted in the >500 proofs being reduced to 7.

Aside from some potential privacy concerns (especially in then posting about this process), is there a better way to decrease the number of proofs in a wallet, or did I somehow derp my way into a decent solution?

NIP<TBD>:

Title: Dedicated Event Kind for Meat-Space Nostr Events

Abstract:
This NIP proposes the creation of a dedicated event kind for in-person (meat-space) Nostr events to resolve the ambiguity and confusion that arises when such events are shared using existing event kinds. The new kind will help categorize these events distinctly and provide clearer context for users and clients.

Motivation:
Nostr events are categorized by specific "kinds," each assigned a unique number. While digital events, messages, and metadata are clearly assigned to event kinds, there is currently no dedicated kind for organizing, sharing, or discussing in-person (IRL) Nostr meetups or events. This lack of clarity leads to confusion among users and developers about where to place or find such events, as they do not neatly fit into existing categories. This proposal seeks to establish a distinct kind for meat-space Nostr events, enabling better organization and discovery of in-person events in the Nostr ecosystem.

Specification:
We propose adding a new event kind, for example:

kind 1392: Dedicated to meat-space Nostr events.

The event structure will follow the typical Nostr event format, with the following keys in the content field:

name: The name of the event.

location: The physical location of the event (address, venue, city, etc.).

date: The date and time of the event.

description: Additional details or agenda for the event.

organizer: Pubkey or NIP-05 of the event organizer.

Optionally, additional fields such as a URL for registration, a max number of attendees, or a link to the event’s group chat could be included as needed by the organizer.

Rationale:
The current absence of a dedicated event kind for IRL Nostr events results in misclassification or misuse of other kinds (such as generic note events) to share details about meetups. This proposal eliminates this issue by providing a clear and consistent kind specifically for these in-person events. It will allow clients to filter, organize, and display these events in a way that improves discoverability and user experience.

Backwards Compatibility:
This proposal does not interfere with existing kinds or break backward compatibility. Clients not supporting the new event kind will simply ignore it, while those that do can start implementing support to handle these event types appropriately.

Reference Implementation:
A simple implementation in a Nostr client could involve creating a new event type that populates the fields mentioned in the specification, allowing users to search for or post IRL event information easily. This implementation would involve minimal changes to the client’s user interface, focusing on rendering event details in a user-friendly manner.

Security Considerations:
There are some inherent privacy concerns with sharing real-world event locations and details. Users and clients should be aware of this, and implementers might want to consider warning users before publishing or engaging with this event kind, ensuring they understand the potential exposure of their real-world location and plans.

Sounds like we need a dedicated nevent type for IRL meat-space nostr events.

I feel like January to March this year was a taste. It just kept going up...


The whole 2021 50% drawdown and then back up to ATH in just 6 months, (only to then enter the bear market) was the rollercoaster that made me forever numb to price action.

Ever since then I've just been stacking and chilling.


Don't sell Class of 2021 short. We've had some volatile swings before.

Glad someone else can relate to having these periodic recurring and continuing dreams.

I have dreams that have been continuing since I was just a kid. I may only return to them once or twice a year, but I always wake with a sense of loss and appreciation.

I wonder if, in a way, if life continues after death, it would be similar.

Waking to a new reality while retaining the fading memories of successes and losses in another life.

One more trip to $58k then game on


Aw... I missed 58k.


Honestly, it's always been there.

I think it's similar to the whole internal monologue debate. Some people don't have conversations happening inside their head, others have an internal monologue that speaks with their own voice, while others have one that speaks with a voice that is not their own.

I'd imagine it's similar with dreams. For me, the "narrator" as I've chosen to describe it here, largely functions in the same role my internal monologue in my day-to-day life. The primary difference being that it will adopt other voices and tends to fill in context surrounding events occurring in these rapidly shifting and evolving dreams.

I wonder if to an extent it's the Mind's way of trying to maintain continuity and build connections between things that are so wildly different and discordant that the transitions may normally be jarring. Maybe it just takes on a voice to attempt to create a story between these disparate concepts and scenes.


He might! I think that would be up to you!

I get everything from David Attenborough, to various female narrators.

Haha. I really don't watch movies.

I like to watch weather live streams on YouTube, outside that it's just bitcoin podcasts.


Out of curiosity, does anyone else ever have narrators in their dreams?

My dreams are weird, part hyper-realistic, part-absurdist. They will quickly and fluidly shift between photorealism and animated illustrations in various styles.

Sometimes I'm in 1st person, other times in 3rd person, but a narrator is a frequent friend.

It feels the same as my internal monologue, but will take on different voices and accents as it narrates and provides context for the "slower" portions of the experience.

This. Bitcoin has majorly softened my views of, and responses to, those around me.

I've only done an hour or so of testing so far, but essentially you create a listing, and a buyer can pay via LN without signing in with a nostr extension. This payment is turned into a cashu token.

You then receive a message saying that you've received payment, and can either redeem the cashu token, or receive it via LN.

It's been a few days since I did my single test transaction though, so take what I said here with a grain of salt.

As I mentioned, I'm hoping to list some physical products in the future with bitcoin and lightning payment options and ideally a nostr-centric listing as well, so I've been digging into what options exist lately.

Still have a lot of work to do in testing these methods and comparing the tradeoffs, but I guess that's the price we pay for being early.

The nostr-centric options I'm exploring at present are Shopstr and Nostr Marketplace, and I'm considering either Zaprite or BTCPayServer for more conventional integration with my website.

From now on, any UTXO over 10M sats is considered a bar of Bitcoin.


Cryptographic key pair-based protocols are such a mind-fuck.

It doesn't feel right to call a Bitcoin wallet a "wallet".

Likewise, it doesn't feel right to call a nostr account an "account".

Well, the issue seems to be resolved now. That said, I don't know what the issue was, but I can zap again today.

I didn't initially have the same string on both accounts. It just stopped working for this account a few days ago.

Initially, I thought it might just be a temporary thing with the mint, but it didn't resolve after 3 days. So I uninstalled Minibits, restored my wallet, made a new connection string, and the issue persisted.

But, it worked when I put that string on another Amethyst account as a test.

So, I have no idea why things were broken for me, but they seem to be working now.

Thank you for your assistance (and amazing product)!

#AskNostr: "a npub" or "an npub"?


Oh, I wasn't trying to enter. I'll leave others with a better chance.

Just had to plug my favorite pangram.


My favorite pangram, is and will always be, "sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow."


I remember him talking about it, but do not remember the exact figure.

Per ChatGPT: "According to a 2019 analysis, confiscating all of the wealth from U.S. billionaires, which was around $5 trillion at the time, would fund the federal government for only about eight months. This would equate to covering only a small percentage of the total U.S. debt, which is over $33 trillion today."

This equates to 15% of the national debt, or 8 months of government spending.

Bear in mind, this isn't taxing them 100%, this is if we confiscated 100% of their wealth...

Bolts is a non-custodial wallet that allows you to hold an on-chain balance and a "L2" balance.

The L2 balance is held in Liquid, but you can pay lightning invoices from your balance there.

Ultimately, I utilize this tool to consolidate small UTXOs over time before withdrawing more responsibly sized UTXOs.

There is also a privacy improvement, as by nature of Liquid, the UTXOs you send, are obfuscated from the UTXOs you withdraw.

Aqua uses boltz for their on-chain/Liquid to Lightning exchanges.

As with any new tool, only use a small number of sats to play around with it and familiarize yourself with its operation before using it with any more substantial amount.

For more info on Liquid, here's a link: https://help.blockstream.com/hc/en-us/articles/900001408623-How-does-Liquid-Bitcoin-L-BTC-work#:~:text=Liquid%20Bitcoin%20(L%2DBTC)%20is%20a%20special%20type%20of,Federation%20on%20the%20Bitcoin%20mainchain.


"Re-shits". LMAO.


That said, I think it runs on boltz, which others have already mentioned.

Could just cut out the middle man, but I've enjoyed Aqua, and it's at least a good tool to familiarize yourself with.


You dropped this.

Aqua Wallet would be great for this. No KYC, and a relatively small fee.


If you know, what is the average size in bytes for a single coin? And does this vary by sat-value or by mint, or is it more or less static in cashu?


Very interesting.

I'm assuming the issue is that if you have a single larger coin that surpasses the total for the transaction, your card is basically just empty as you'd have to flash the new "change" coin to the card separately?

Otherwise it would just make sense to keep fewer, larger coins on the card, but I think I see how you might want more coins due to how ecash and mints work.


Oof. That is big.


My God. I cannot wait to play with this.


Hi there, I'm glad you enjoyed my story! I'm US-based. In hindsight, I could have added more information on my #OnZero workflow. I will likely do so in a future article.

Basically, I spend on credit throughout the month while directing all my income into bitcoin. At the end of the month I sell the bitcoin needed to pay off the credit cards and pay my monthly fiat bills.

While I still technically touch fiat, this arrangement allows me to be maximally allocated to bitcoin at all times.

While this model makes sense, during bullish periods, I do question whether it might not be logical to hold more fiat bear markets. Philosophically, I don't want to. But we'll see what the future holds.


We all have derp moments.

...like when I accidently zapped myself earlier!

That's awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed the story!

Very cool how many similarities our stories have!

I wholeheartedly recommend Fold if it's available to you. Basically gives me a bitcoin checking account. I can have my paychecks deposited there and auto-converted to bitcoin, hold a balance in sats, and push-to-card (sell) to pay my fiat bills.

I tend to put all my expenses on credit cards throughout the month, and then pay them off by selling some sats at the end of the month.

Best part, you can even get sats back as rewards on paying your mortgage or credit card bills!

Bitcoin is a decentralized clock.


I feel like if I were really splitting hairs though, I'd say that the 50 coins from the genesis block are a valid part of the total supply, they just can never be a part of the available supply as they're unspendable.

20,999,999.979 bitcoin. That's the total supply.


Yes.

I could just do the math, but I was feeling lazy.

Saylor is aware of it, and his statement was framed wrong as a prediction by the author.


That's not really the point. Saylor is correct. By 2035, 99% of the supply will have been mined.

But this is do to Bitcoin's algorithmic release schedule, difficulty adjustment, and supply inelasticity.

More mining will not result in more bitcoin being mined.

The entire except reveals a complete lack of understanding of bitcoin mining by the author, and just entering it into ChatGPT would have revealed the flaws in the piece.

We are so early.


LMAO.

"According to Saylor's forecast, "99% of Bitcoin will be mined by January 2, 2035." At the moment, about 94.1% of Bitcoin's maximum supply of 21 million has been mined, leaving about 1.24 million BTC yet to be created. The prediction suggests a substantial surge in mining activity over the next decade, which would lead to nearly 5% more Bitcoin being mined sooner than expected."

I view the sats that I send out as zaps as an investment in incentivising people to use these decentralized protocols and make my experience here all the better.

Sure, in 30 years, I'm sure I will have given away a nice chunk of bitcoin, but I will have also played a part in the growth of the network and in giving more people a reason to use it.

I relate to those who talk about saving all the sats you can, I also relate to those who speak of the importance of circular economies. At the end of the day, I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Dr. Bull can sternly correct me if I am ill-informed, but I believe the significance of each October has to do with where in the 4 year cycle we lie.

October 2024 would historically be when we would expect to see the Bull market begin.

October 2025 would historically be near the cycle top.

October 2026 would likely be near the depths of the bottom of the bear market, from which we would be expected to slowly chop sideways/higher for two years before the next halving in 2028.

During this talk, I dunked on Egypt's currency as my primary negative example of Broken Money multiple times.

And then during the Q&A, since this was Princeton, one audience member of course was like, "yeah, I was the former minister of finance in Egypt."

Imagine a movie where the main character is like, "freeze frame, rewind, how did we get here?" That was kind of my thought at the moment.

But he was cool. He ran finance for a two-year period during a benign environment. He wasn't the source of the issue, fully understood the issue of course, he asked good questions, and we talked afterward. But it was still one of my favorite "holy shit" moments in presentation history.

Someone commented on one of my YouTube videos saying I look poor.

I responded saying that I have enough wealth for the next ten generations.

As bitcoiners, we all do.

Just because the legacy system is SEVERLY overstaying the value of the fiat dollar doesn't mean you have to believe it.

Live and act like you're wealthy.
Don't spend like you are, but go forward with that mindset.

And secondly, understand the implications of this. Do everything in your power to protect the sats you have.

This. The "one" is someone who is aligned with your values and your dreams.

These change over time, so either you grow together, or you will grow apart.


Haven't pulled them out for a few years now, but I can confirm fire poi are awesome.

Back in my late teens I had an arrangement with an entertainment company where they would send me out to events to perform. Made all my own costumes too.

It was a really fun period in my life, even if it was short-lived. There is a certain joy in performance. A shared experience with a crowd as you take them on a journey. It's addictive.

Been nearly a decade since I've done any of that, but I cherish the memories.


I am very much a non yo-yoer. I did not notice. Nor do I still... Lol.

Tried the way of the yo-yo a few times, never got too far without hitting myself in the balls or the face.

Poi spinning was the thing that hooked me on movement arts.

Would love a client that lets you customize navigation buttons on mobile.

For example, I rarely use search and don’t want dms. Would rather have a button for custom feeds.


Regarding purchasing power…

Don’t miss out on the upside of #bitcoin because you are fearful of the occasional downside volatility.

It’s amazing to me how many otherwise intelligent people pay this opportunity cost while using volatility as an excuse.

They are falling further and further behind.

Three practical tips if you find bitcoin’s volatility intolerable:
1. Small position size.
2. Don’t use leverage.
3. Hedge. It’s not that hard to do.


Thanks to human progress, life is meant to get cheaper and of higher quality over time.

As neutral money, #Bitcoin reflects this truth.

As inflationary currency, the US dollar hides (and steals) this from you.

Choose wisely.


These are awesome.

While it wouldn't quite fit with the nature of these pieces, I think a piece inspired by the platonic solids would be really cool. But, I'm more obsessed with geometry than some.

NEW CLIENT ANNOUNCEMENT
https://m.primal.net/LDNn.mp4
I wanted to build on nostr and I asked OpenSats for a grant to work on ONOSENDAI one day per week. I scaled back my hours at my fiat job and began part time nostr development to work on a novel metaverse project where all actions require proof of work. This was the beginning of my nostr career. Today is a huge milestone in that journey.

It took me 52 Fridays from proof of concept to reality, and now ONOSENDAI functions as the first cyberspace client.

Today I present to you the thermodynamic update to #ONOSENDAI https://onosendai.tech
#welcometocyberspace folks. It's finally here. Check it out on desktop for the best experience. More updates for a better Mobile experience are in the pipeline.

I'm working on a video to explain cyberspace and how to use ONOSENDAI and I'll post it ASAP.

The short tutorial is this:
- WASD for movement (relative to camera)
- Q = down, E = up
- ESC to put camera behind avatar
- Mouse Click and drag to move camera
- Mouse Wheel to change Throttle

Sections of the app:

LOCAL
This is the on-the-ground cyberspace view. The shiny polygon you begin your journey in is your Home Coordinate, which is simply your hex pubkey. Your journey always starts here if you derezz (or get derezzed) at any point, but your progress is saved to nostr and your avatar will travel even when you're away from the app!

SECTOR
This is the 10,000ft view of cyberspace. Nearby sectors are automatically scanned for objects of interest and mapped in 3D: other avatars, hyperjumps, shards, and constructs (coming soon).

GLOBAL
This is the 100,000,000ft view of cyberspace. The staggeringly large full coordinate system is shown.

BUILD
This tab is a 3D editor that lets you build 3D objects called Shards. Shards can be mined and planted wherever you are at in cyberspace for everyone to admire. In the LOCAL tab you can mine and deploy a Shard at your current position. The size and complexity of the shard determines its mining difficulty.

Terminology:

- coord - a cyberspace coordinate is a 256-bit number, just like event ids and public keys.
- chain - the nostr events representing your movement which contain proof-of-work and are linked together via hash
- sector - a 2^30 cube area of cyberspace
- G - Gibson, the unit of measurement in cyberspace named after William Gibson (the author who invented the concept of cyberspace)
- plane - The last bit in a cyberspace coordinate determines its plane. Depending on your pubkey you will either be in D-Space or I-Space. You will be able to switch planes in a future update. All points in D-Space map to a real point in reality, including Earth. All points in I-Space are virtual.

Despite the polish I was able to muster, ONOSENDAI is still in its infancy, and so is cyberspace. It's up to you to explore, build, discover, and push it forward, because unlike other metaverses, this one belongs to everyone and is controlled by no-one. That's the whole point!

I would like to invite all #cyberspace enthusiasts to join my new ditto instance at https://straylight.cafe and use your nostr identity to ask questions, discuss cyberspace, futurism, and how to build this new world together. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. I want to shut down the ONOSENDAI telegram group in favor of Straylight Café because it's nostr based, so hop on over and make it happen!

When you join Straylight.cafe, it isn't connected to any external relays on purpose, so you must edit your profile and customize it for how you want your npub to appear on this site. Whatever you post on Straylight stays there and doesn't go out to the rest of nostr unless you do so manually. It's like an open telegram group -- public, but not broadcasted by default.

And so concludes my OpenSats grant. I want to thank so many people for supporting me, encouraging me, and helping me along this journey.
I am going to try to list everyone I can and I apologize if I miss someone:
OpenSats and the whole team there
Gsovereignty and Bitkarrot for having me on their podcast. This was a huge break for me into the nostr scene.
Johns and Marina for encouraging me and inviting me to awesome bolt.fun hackathons which were a wonderful opportunity to meet great people!

all of my faithful and beloved reply guys who hype me up when I post about cyberspace
Everyone in the telegram group and everyone who has zapped, tested, and waited patiently for this
Everyone who believed in me and the skeptics who pushed me to the finish line

This is just the beginning. Nostr isn't just for tweets. It's for cyberspace, and I think that's a big deal. Thanks everyone 👾💜

Can confirm. I'm obsessed with mu Grayl bottles.


Newly in love with listr.lol.

Was finally able to create a list of macro people I like so I can get up to speed without needing to check their content individually or wait for it to appear in my feed.

A collection of nostr users with macro and finance takes that I enjoy and respect.


I'm glad you enjoyed the review!

Try to hammer this out of existence, John Kerry. Explain how winning an election will stop it.

The fever that needs to be broken is the fantasy of elite power over the collective mind. And tech like this, not an election, is what will do it.

LMAO.

And yes.


You can login to https://listr.lol/

Make several lists and they should pop up on amethyst on  top of the feed (where you can select global, all follows etc)

This is absolutely incredible.

How many bytes are required to hold ecash on an nfc tag?
