 Closest guess for the day btc hits 100k gets a fat zap 
 Friday, November 29th. The Bitcoiners will have all day to talk to their families and friends on Thanksgiving and markets are open the following day. 
 So I'm a moron.

My Alby Hub hasn't been working for the last day or so. Come to find out, I'd updated and shut down the laptop that hosts it, instead of updating and restarting...

Derp. Back online now.

 Just got my own pixel 9 from them just a month or so back.

It's a great deal! 
 I know if you have a physical sim you can just swap it over, but I'm unsure of the process for an esim.

I've always found their customer service very helpful though. 
 I love my pixel 9. Most recent pixel was a Pixel 3, and while I've had other phones since, it's been super nice to get back to Pixel. 
 Who needs clocks when you could have sats instead? 
 I was expecting Michael. I was not disappointed. 
 Paycheck dropped at 90.9k this morning and was instantly converted to sats. That's as close as I'm going to get to buying the dip for the next 2 weeks. 
 Upgraded my fiat mining headphones and holy shit... nostr:nprofile1qqstnem9g6aqv3tw6vqaneftcj06frns56lj9q470gdww228vysz8hqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm4wfex2mn59en8j6gpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgsj2ata sounds so much better today...

 We shouldn’t leave X just because it’s frustrating. Algorithms may push opposing voices, but ... 
 I actually just made a new X account for this reason.

 snapnostr.app down atm? 
 Seems to be, about 15 minutes ago it wouldn't load nevents for me. 
 I love it so much. Just makes nevents so nicely shareable. 
 Just like the ETF announcement.  
 Just deleted my Alby account. I’m gonna need a minute…

 Going to have to update this tomorrow when it's a bunch of guys saying numbers between 90 and 100.

 Ok, so we had another UAP hearing today. What are they trying to distract us from? 100k bitcoin?

 I find it funny that you say that. Personally I thought it read pretty similar to how I would expect a large media org to start posting here.

Time will tell I guess.  
 This is no simple task to figure out for most people and is not a viable way of verifying high pr... 
 If it's a high profile org, I feel like needing to involve the IT team is a feature. 
 I can hardly be considered a technical user, and even I was able to get NIP-05s set up on my personal site.

#SoEasyADogCanDoIt 
 The rise of decentralized social media platforms like Nostr has sparked important debates about t... 
 Whether this npub is controlled by an entity that is actually affiliated with The Guardian or not, my thoughts remain the same:


Censorship-resistant systems aren’t solely about the ability to post freely. They’re about creating a framework where individuals, regardless of their viewpoints, can have ownership of their content and connections, rather than needing to conform to the biases and control of centralized entities.

Without a centralized authority to moderate harmful content, users and developers are tasked with a higher degree of personal responsibility. On Nostr, we are free to build and interact within our own chosen networks, filtering out content we find undesirable. This is empowering, as it allows us to engage without needing or demanding heavy-handed moderation.

The solution to mitigating the spread of "harmful" ideologies lies in fostering a culture where we hold each other to account. As we freely choose who we interact with and endorse, naturally curated, self-moderated communities can emerge. There’s also an opportunity to educate users on how to configure their filters or encourage developers to build tools that enhance personal control over one’s feed, without compromising free expression.

Ultimately, the key lies in encouraging decentralized moderation through individual choice rather than top-down intervention from any centralized authority.

 This time is different. 
 Almost? 
 In the land of autists, the easiest path to engagement farming is just posting numbers that are just a little off. 
 Ahead of a kg, catching up to the entire gold market cap. ~10% of the way there. 
 I'm seriously considering joining the 100 pushups till 100k gang these days. 🤔 
 I'll consider it around 99.5k. 
 A little over a year ago, I quit my job, cashed out my 401k, paid 30% in early withdrawal taxes, and put it into bitcoin.

Currently up nearly 200%. 
 I got another job shortly after. Just couldn't access all my 401k funds without quitting that job.

 Let’s see how many minutes it takes to break 100 
 Yeah... I had hoped to get paid before 80k, now I'm not expecting to get paid before 100k...

 Mine was offline most of yesterday but is working now. Unsure what the issue was but everything should be up to date.

Strangely, I could send zaps, I just couldn't receive them. 
 Any chance you can see if it's working? 
 Ouch. 
 Have your sats back. 
 No clue...

I actually didn't update anything. It just randomly started working again this morning. 
 Nope. Just went to bed and in the morning everything was fine.
