 The price literally means nothing , you’re right. The best way to look at it is - if you store your value in it at X price, then you get around 50% ARR on your investment on average. The price X is irrelevant. The guaranteed AAR is a product of the inflationary mechanism built into fiat- the same thing that makes it worthless and impossible to store value in itself , unless you like holding melting ice cubes with an ARR of -8% 
 Did anyone else notice that inflation didn’t actually go down, prices of everyday items are pre... 
 lol 
 Is CoinCorner still a thing? 
 Mate get on strike , you get more sats for your £ 
 For sure.. I used to use CC but I find Strike is a better service overall. Strike  gives you more sats and you can send to on chain address with no fees (it takes 24 hours , I’m not sure if CC do this)

 What’s the best way to explain bitcoin to a kid under 10?

 Don’t , they are 10 … 
 Hello using Nostrx 
 Gm world 
 Stoked to finally have RHIZAL on Nostr 👋

Anyone know a good BTC app for Shopify? Last I looke... 
 Do you deliver to the UK ? 
 I fucking love Zap.stream!! So bullish on #Nostr and #Bitcoin LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO 🫡🥸 
 GM 🟠🟣 
 Why is my Damus feed better than my Primal feed? Thought I should see the same content regardless of client? Can someone explain ? #asknostr 
 I think I've finally found my bitcoin/nostr setup

After two years of fucking around 

Minibits

 Can you explain why minibits and Aqua? 
 Over 1 month off X now , #Nostr only feels like a weight has been lifted off my brain. Thoroughly cleansing and something about it feels fresh- hard to describe, but the overall impact on my wellbeing so far has been surprisingly positive. I am enjoying the non-Bitcoin topics slowly creeping onto the protocol as well. It’s hard to envisage a future where centralised social media platforms have much of a use case.

#Bitcoin 
 Good morning my #Bitcoin friends. 👊🧡☢️ 
 GM, what low time preference actions are you taking for your future self today? 

I'll go first: ... 
 Based on the Uk.. I’ll take the job!! 😅 
 Anyone used Ledn to get a BTC backed loan? Thinking about using them but not sure if I’ll just lose the Bitcoin 🤣 #AskNostr #Bitcoin 
 Bitcoin fixes so many problems that fiat is the root cause of. Before studying Bitcoin, I often felt despair when thinking about humanities woes. Now in light of knowing Bitcoin as the solution, many of these problems will be whittled down to non-existence. Incentives will realign and the world will be restructured around the scarcest asset in existence behind only time. LFG #Bitcoin feeling bullish on the future 🚀🤙 
 I’m looking for admin jobs in #Bitcoin.. based in the UK. Anyone have any suggestions/ places I can search? #asknostr 
 Thank you mate 🙏 
 I couldn’t find anything in my area. But will keep looking, thanks again. I work in healthcare and have zero passion, need to be involved in Bitcoin !! 
 Looking for some inspiration on how I can earn some #Bitcoin… Any suggestions? #asknostr 
 I don’t necessarily mean zaps on nostr .. more earn btc in general. I am not op big into getting engagement on social media 
 😂😂 #toestr 
 Thanks so much bro appreciate it 👊 
 Tanks so much, appreciated 🙏 
 Again I find myself with no dry powder on the side. 
Every month I smash buy #Bitcoin, despite having every intention of holding back some funds for corrections. Just can’t help myself! If it drops below 55k though, I’ll be fuming! LFG #bitcoin

 Was it Rustin’s content which brought on the ban, do you think? Unbelievable that you have been banned !! 
 I really want to see #Bitcoin at a discount again ~ sub $55k. Late to the party and not enough sats. Like a man possessed, I will not stop stacking sats… LFG #Bitcoin 
 It's painful to me to start something and not get to finish it. Anyone else have this problem? 
 Yes me t…

I've just deactivated my Twitter account.

Onwards 🫂 
 Did the same last month. Now Nostr only. It’s honestly refreshing to not feel like im addicted to crack, which in hindsight is how I was using  X. 
 Did the same last month. Now Nostr and occasional article on Substack. It’s honestly refreshing to not feel like im addicted to crack, which in hindsight is how I was using  X. 
 Nostr and occasionally Substack* 
 What we thinking? #Bitcoin to reject at $62k and revisit the low 50k region is my guess. BTC at a discount 👌 LFG 🚀 🚀 
 Stealing isn't sharing. We are in the mess we are in, politically & economically because people w... 
 Though I agree with most of this statement- I can’t help but feel there needs to be welfare support for those who have been negatively affected from the current theft based system. To simply “fix” this system, and allow the underprivileged to suffer from the inevitable fallout  and collateral damage of the unraveling, would be unethical. Through no fault of their own, people have been stolen from , and to leave them to deal with this reality is not the right way to go. 
 Jobs in #Bitcoin? Based in UK … 
 Would you rather have a nocoiner president or an altcoiner president? 
 Altcoiner would arguably have a “better” understanding of Bitcoin than no coiner. Therefore arguably help adoption and regulatory side of things over the short / medium term. I would say I’m more fearful of the altcoiner over the long term though… either way I believe both parties are getting orange pilled eventually. 
 should we start a nostr fedi? 
 Can you please advise the best place I can go to learn more about the technical side of Bitcoin- Lightning, Fedi, nodes etc? Keen to expand my knowledge but unsure on the best web sources 
 The day I accepted #Bitcoin as my preferred store of value, was the day I effectively received at least a 100% pay rise from my employer… 25% saved out of my wages will 4x at the very least before I intend on spending it. This is the way 🚀 
 Zap me if you think #Bitcoin hits $300k in 2025 🤣 #LFG 🚀 
 Aped into BTC after the Bitcoin Conference. No cash left to buy this dip. Lesson learned- always keep some dry power on the side #Bitcoin 
 #Bitcoin game theory

🇷🇺 accepting international BTC payments 
El Salvador🍊💊 BRICS
BRICS nations switching from gold to #bitcoin reserves 
🇺🇸may not start a strategic reserve at first , but the rest of the world will force their hand soon enough 
Eventually BTC demonetises gold > real estate > US treasuries 
Nothing can stop the freight train, the wheels are in motion #LFG 🚀🌝 #OrangePill #Bitcoin 
 nostr:npub1vmkf65n5h9qxcrkvvj7jwj3czlhxqe747zpa95eghssf7chgx0ms0gmpxl why am I your only follower... 
 I am new to this and not sure how to join the community… love the idea of it though. Thank you for the love.. Been in Bitcoin 5 years, orange pilled maybe 1 year ago though and been trying to stack sats ever since!! 
 Here for #Bitcoin. Fix the money, fix the world. We are on the precipice of the floodgates bursting. Btc will explode into global culture, permeating into all facets of human existence. Draining the swamp and giving birth to the digital renaissance. 
 Please elaborate.
