Almost all hodlers are now in profit, so this seems like a good time to give myself, and everyone else who suffered big losses after getting in in 2021, a big pat on the back.

I know for myself I never thought about selling, but what I'm kinda proud of is the decision to keep putting money in when the sentiment was extremely low.

I couldn't really afford it, but by living as frugally as possible (not buying much else than meat, eggs and gym membership), I was able to not sell any bitcoin, and also stack more to get that cost basis down.

Here's to you class of 21 that stuck around!

We call the irrational exuberance in the bull market FOMO.

Implicated is the fear of missing out on GAINS.

But I think the REAL FEAR is that the asset will never return to these levels again, and that you will be left on the station, forever watching endless appreciation.

Unless you GET IN NOW, at ANY PRICE.

If you're interested in how your 12 words relate to your private key, here's an explainer for normies. Might be a good idea to repost that if you find it interesting, so it gets visible across time zones.

From entropy to private key - a short overview of a surprisingly complex process
In the beginning, there is entropy. That entropy is typically generated by your device (HW wallet or computer), and can be augmented by adding your own entropy to it, typically in the form of dice or coin throws. Depending on how many bits of entropy you choose, you will end up with either a 12 (for 128 bits of entropy) or 24 (for 256 bits) mnemonic sentence, aka your "seed phrase" or "backup words". Note that in any case, your private key will be 256 bits long, although it will be significantly "less random" if you use less entropy.
In order to make the seed backup somewhat error proof, a checksum of the entropy is generated by hashing it using SHA256. To do so, the first few bits of that hash (4 for 128 bits of entropy, 8 for 256) are then appended to the entropy itself, yielding 132 or 264 bits, respectively. (To make things less cluttered, we will stick with the case of 128 bit of entropy for the remainder of this explainer. We also skip the odd case of 192 bits of entropy completely. The principles remain the same.)
Now these 132 bits are split into segments of 11 bits each, and those bits interpreted as integer numbers. The scope of an 11 bit integer ranges from 0…2047, as 2^11 equals 2048, so you can identify 2048 different things (in this case: numbers) using 11 bits.
That integer is now used as the item number in the BIP39 word list. BIP39 is a widely (although not universally) used standard for mapping bits into more easily memorable words. The integer number represented by the 11 bits is simply the offset into the array of words. So if your first 11 bits are, let's say, "110 0010 0000", that represents the number 1568, and if you look at the BIP39 list, you'll find the word "series" is entry number 1568 (it's labeled as number 1569, because the list starts at 1 instead of 0. If anybody knows why, I'd be very happy to learn about it).
The process of splicing off 11 bits, and converting them to a word, is repeated until you end up with your twelve word backup phrase.
The whole set of words is now concatenated (the full words, not just the 4-character abbreviations) into a single string, and that string gets fed into a specific hash function called PBKDF2 (Password Based Key Derivation Function) which requires a secondary parameter as "salt" (to make lookup table attacks harder). You can supply your own password here, but if you don't, then the word "mnemonic" is used instead.
The PBKDF2 algorithm is run 2048 times, in order to slow it down enough to make brute force attacks hopefully unattractive. The result of that process is a 512 bits long hash value.
This 512 bit hash is now fed into yet another hashing function, namely HMAC-SHA512. HMAC also takes a secondary parameter as salt, and here, "Bitcoin seed" is used.
The result of this hash function is another 512 bits and those bits are split into two parts of 256 bits each: the left side is called the "master chain code" and the right side is the "master private key".
The real private keys, the ones used for Bitcoin transactions, are generated by further concatening derivation paths and hashing the results, but I won't get into that here.

If you are sure that anything here is wrong, please do respond and explain. It's a pretty confusing process, but I hope I got it right.

GM nostr ☕ #coffeechain

Once upon a time I was an online poker pro.

One of the biggest lessons from those days was how to psychologically deal with volatility. It is incredibly difficult to avoid tilt and maintain confidence in your game when all the feedback you're getting from the world is that what you're doing isn't working.

I think my worst run was down ~60 buyins (which is alot if you know poker) despite having one of the highest winrates in the world. Getting back to even was a 2 month grind where you're just getting your teeth kicked in every single day.

The key to maintaining sanity and confidence in my game was letting go of expectations and accepting the losses. And then just focus on learning and trying to rediscover the love for the game. It's a humbling process.

And then sometime later, after you've entered that better frame of mind and are slowly crawling out of the hole, suddenly a massive winstreak will hit you. And it will be overwhelming, because you have almost forgotten what it feels like to be on the _good end_ of variance.

Bitcoin has felt similar to me. You have to find a way to remain convicted when the price crashes. And if you're able to reframe your mental state to basically staying humble and stacking sats, then one day the price will soar again to levels you've forgotten was possible (emotionally and realistically).

But it will not be when you're expecting it.

The shittier the coin, the higher the volatility.

Which means the potential gains are in the multiples of Bitcoin's.

I saw a clip of Alex Becker (crypto guy) explaining how he potentially could 2-3x his net worth by trading these high volatility coins.

But I don't know if THIS irony was lost on him:

His strategy for 2-3x'ing his net worth was by trading shitcoins that could do 10-100x. So why not 10-100x his net worth then? Well obviously you don't go allin on these shitcoins! (he explains). Yes, so you sit with a large bankroll on the sideline while you try to swingtrade the most illiquid shitcoins you can find in smaller incremental bets. And IF you do this well, you can 2-3x your networth.

OR, you can just put your WHOLE BANKROLL in Bitcoin and get the same 2-3x WITHOUT the stress OR THE RISK.

I think the disconnect is that he inherently don't understand Bitcoin, and that it has similar risks to the rest of cRyPtO.


That's how we roll ⚡🤙

One of my biggest pet peeves in Bitcoin is the lack of attacks on the 2% inflation target.

But NOT that

  * The word itself has been corrupted away from monetary inflation to some arbitrary basket of goods prices (which is horrendus, but at least it is somewhat frequently brought up and critiqued)

  * Or that the year-on-year prices increases are actually larger to a multiple of probably 2-3x of the government numbers

What I almost never hear anybody talk about is how the FED and their mouthpieces gets away with the narrative that the have successfully met their mandate when they TEMPORARILY gets the CPI down to 2%.

THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS.

The mandate refers to a relatively stable long-term MEAN inflation.

Which means that if you want to defend the 2% mandate after a stint of 40% inflation like we had during lockdowns, then you have to have ZERO or NEGATIVE inflation for a decade+ to have the long term mean be 2%.

But they're getting away with it.

Temporarily get inflation kinda low, and then start printing again like nothing ever happened.

Without weighing in on the drama around the rise of British HODL I do have one observation that's been circulating in my mind for a while:

Crypto youtubers are more popular than Bitcoin youtubers.

I think this is mainly due to 2 factors:

1) Ironically, by being more scammy, they are more relatable to the broader audience in that they are speaking more to pure self interest. At least up until a point where the lack of integrity becomes too obvious.

2) They are more focused on entertainment. Both in terms of the content (they mainly talk about potential gains), but also in presentation. While I love the Bitcoin influencers, and the subtle and sharp irony of like a Saifedean, I do think crypto probably have more entertaining and charismatic personalities overall. At least from a mainstream perspective.

British HODL has managed to fill this market void IMO.

In regards to 1) he speaks very clearly to self interest. And to 2) he has made sure to create an entertaining persona and an entertaining style of videoes.

Hey man, thanks for writing such a thoughtful response.

I think all of these are valid points and things to keep an eye on.

Even though they individually can be rationalized and explained as not such a big deal, when you zoom out and look at the general direction of all the moves being made there does seem to be confluence.

GM nostr ☕ #cofffeechain #bitcoin

After listening to the last months conversation about on-chain fees, scaling, and self custody, I realize that I have been drinking the kool-aid a little too much.

Many of the bigger Bitcoin podcasts are focused on the economic, political and philosophical sides of Bitcoin. And those are great. But there is a cost to brushing over the technical aspects of things.

Bitcoin's core features of immutability, permissionlessness, censorship resistance, and the incentive structure itself, are all tied in with self custody.

So if self custody is gonna become more rare in the future, how are these properties preserved?

The nice thing about the base layer is that no one can stop your transaction. But this does not seem obvious for layer 2s +. And if not all transactions on the higher layers are unstoppable, is it not a slippery slope?

And could less and less self custody over time disrupt the incentive structure to where even the immutability could be compromised?
There is no such thing as 99.9% immutability.

To sum up, I think where I end up, is with the conclusion that the job is far from done, and that we are in a race for self custody and building layer 2,3+ that will to the maximum ability preserve the properties of the base layer.

Morning bro!


GM nostr ☕ #coffeechain #bitcoin

One thing that is not immediately clear to me is the profitability of these ETFs from the perspective of the issuers.

With management fees of 0.20 and 0.30 are they really that profitable? (to where they would spend millions in lobbying, lawyers fees, marketing,
etc,)

Could there be other reasons why the competition seems to be so hard?

A few that come to mind: Branding and crossover to their entire ecosystem of products, being a longterm player in the "bitcoin game"

GM nostr ☕ #coffeechain #bitcoin

On the latest nostr:npub15vzuezfxscdamew8rwakl5u5hdxw5mh47huxgq4jf879e6cvugsqjck4um pod they talked about whether Bitcoin is right wing or not. And they were agreeing that Bitcoin is not right wing or that it is even orthogonal to the left-right axis. Which is a sentiment you also hear from others podcasts.

Some points on this:

- As part of spreading adoption and the Bitcoin message it is beneficial to reach across the aisle.

- It is true that Bitcoin doesn't map 1:1 onto neither left or right.

- Both the left and right have contributed to more and larger government.

- Bitcoin is apolitical in the sense that the protocol isn't swayed by shifting sentiments in either party.

- The Bitcoin thesis is that it should benefit lower economic classes, aka 'the poor', and thus aligns with 'progressive principles'

HOWEVER, the devil is in the details, and I think these are also fair points to make:

- The way that Bitcoin (in theory) helps the poor is by defunding the welfare state and oversized goverment (simplifying for sake of argument). Which is in direct conflict with leftist politics, both in theory and in practice.

- I think the precise way to frame how Bitcoin aligns with 'progressive principles' is that it aligns with what leftist SAY they want as outcomes (help the poor). But not what those principles (more redistribution, dependence, control) actually produces as outcomes.

- Even though both the left and the right have contributed to more and larger governement, and even if Bitcoin doesn't precisely map 1:1 on neither left or right. I think it is fair to say that the principles that Bitcoin is built on, is MORE aligned with principles echoed on the right.

GM nostr ☕ #coffeechain #bitcoin

So with the ETF now looking like it's going to happen within a couple of weeks, I'm gonna induldge in some price speculation:

The big question seems to be if this is going to be a sell-the-news-event or not.

Often times the major cashflows in Bitcoin are not in phase with the general sentiment in the market. And the recent price run could be an indicator that major cashflows have already been positioning themselves for the ETF on the back of insider knowledge.
And when the news gets released, it is the minor cashflows that gets positively effected, with the major cashflows scaling back.

My gut instinct is that this will not be the case. As much as we say the ETF is a sure thing now, I think there is also a feeling of disbelief most in the space has. It has been denied so many times that an approval almost seems unreal. And so we need to see that final confimation before we are willing to believe it.

And I think this applies at the institutional level too. Not all of them have insider knowledge (or even the ability to act on it easily), and so I think the sheer scale of this news will be what makes it bullish overall.

What do you think?


Yeah, but also the situation could be different for them.

For us it makes sense, and the incentives are aligned for us to self custody and HODL. It's the most profitable AND lowest risk.

But if there is a future where Bitcoin use is normal, but on-chain is very expensive (and possibly cumbersome due to regulation), these are the two things I'm worried about:

1. Self custody not being as viable (for plebs without a high networth) because of fees and thus reducing interest in running a node.

2. Normalization/Financialization of Bitcoin could lessen the need for the cyber hornets (at least in the short term) as Bitcoin wins and takes over. And so we could see a long term erosion of the ethos to where maybe we could we centralization and sinister actors begin to direct Bitcoin in the future.

I guess all I'm speculating on is if in the long term we are recreating the fiat financial system with a bitcoin base layer (that also as a function of becoming more geared towards financial institutions will become more opaque and possibly compromised)


Seems like it's done #nostrmemes #memes #bitcoin

https://m.primal.net/HUYI.jpg


Yeah, for sure, I'm just wargaming a hypothetical future where the incentives might be different (because on-chain use is not the default as it is now)


I'm proud to have been an early user. It's so cool to see the ecosystem develop


I was thinking from a generational perspective.

When the pioneers are no longer here, what are the incentives for maintaining the culture (and running nodes) if everyday users are priced out of the base layer? (speaking hypothetically as we don't know what the fee structure, but this is a thesis many are talking about)


Liftoff approaching #bitcoin #nostrart

https://m.primal.net/HUWs.jpg


Morning Rob 🤙


Morning, appreciate the input 🤙

So if Bitcoin becomes this financialized asset, and the pleb noderunners gradually disappears. Doesn't this post a risk long term (more opaqeness, more centralization etc)?


Yeah, good tip 👍


GM nostr ☕ #coffechain #bitcoin

I'm not technically proficient, so please shoot this down.

But how does Bitcoin incentives play out if most users (in the future) are not doing transactions on-chain?

The blocks are small, great. But why even run a node if you are operating on Layer 2,3 ?

And another thing I've been thinking about:

What will happen to the ethos of Bitcoin, the cyber hornets, the keepers of the flame, if Bitcoin continues it's financialization?

Even with hyperbitcoinization, in a 100 years will there be those who run their own node just for the principle of it, or will noderunners increasingly become financial institutions?


Good service 🤙

Swimming pool fud wasn't on my bingocard #nostrmemes #memes

https://m.primal.net/HRhU.jpg

I was thinking hypothetical. Since we believe no other cryptos can achieve decentralization and true censorship resistance. Then digital scarcity would potentially not be a thing in the futyre (if Bitcoin hypothetically had failed)


GM☕ #coffeechain #plebchain #bitcoin

If Bitcoin somehow had failed along it's way, would digital scarcity forever not exist?


I just mean the very high, if not extreme standard set by Bitcoin itself (in terms of its incorruptibility)


Are you talking about layer 1?

I was more assuming that we have the desired properties on Bitcoin itself, but then asking if this stringent standard also must be applied to layer 2 if we are to have self-sovereign payments in the long run


Morning Stacker! ⚡🤙


😂 yeah, awesome reply, I really hope so


Yeah, I have those type of solutions in mind. But I'm not knowledgable enough on a technical level.

But my intuition is that it will be hard to replicate something to be as censhorship resistant as Bitcoin.

And if the thinking is that everything that can be captured will be captured, that is a problem in terms of layer 2s robustness (compared to layer 1)


GM☕ #coffeechain #bitcoin

A sobering thought and maybe a question to those who know more:

For a scalable layer 2 on Bitcoin not to be co-opted by centralized entities (in the long run), does it have to replicate the almost impossible standards of censhorship resistance found on layer 1?


Who else is guilty? #nostrmemes #memes #bitcoin

If we're comparing apples to apples here, the dollar's market cap has absolutely not gone to zero, but probably increased over time.

So if I understand the Binance situation correctly they are pleading guilty to not doing enough financial censorship.

And it seems many bitcoiner's take is that this is bullish and good for Bitcoin.

And as far as being bullish for the financial asset Bitcoin, and the price, it probably is. But wasn't Bitcoin supposed to be money for enemies?

This regulatory attack on Binance seems like a slippery slope towards more track and trace, and less privacy and self custody on Bitcoin too.

As a lifelong gamer I do see a product market fit for digital assets in gaming and digital worlds.

But as long as crypto companies are in charge of these digital assets there will always be the incentive to dilute them or change the rules of the game.

I'm not sure how Bitcoin fixes this. But my guess is that if digital assets in gaming becomes a thing, those that last and hold value will use the Bitcoin blockchain in some way or another.

just some morning thoughts, but I guess the reason I think about it is that it is rarely framed in that way

have a great day!


just some random thoughts, but it's to write it out and clear up your thinking 😎🤙


Good morning bitcoiners ☕🧡🙌 #coffeechain #plebchain #grownostr

When we as bitcoiners enjoy the benefits of saving in a deflationary money, that is not magic nor free.

Our increased purchasing power comes from those who are buying in later in the adoption cycle at a higher cost. Or, in another way of seeing it, the rest of the world's assets gets devalued against Bitcoin. We are basically getting richer at the averaged out expense of everyone else.

Now ultimately we believe that the end state is better for everyone, and that Bitcoin will be a net good. But I think the perspective above is useful for understanding why many are hesitant or negative towards Bitcoin.

Unless you own the asset, you are getting devalued by it. It makes sense that they are not rooting for it.
I guess what I'm saying is that it's hugely important to own #Bitcoin, even if it's just a little bit, for someone to be engaged with Bitcoin, support it, etc


Lol, you should make a meme of that

Love to see you on nostr, your courage is inspiring


Yeah, I guess when you're used make money trading, hodling does seem like work


Good morning nostr! ☕💜🧡 #coffeechain #plebchain #grownostr

HODLING takes conviction and in some sense it's fair that you get outsized returs when you expose yourself to a volatile asset.

But it is not HARD. Or, it's not *hard work*. I never once thought about selling my #Bitcoin during this bear market and I don't think just sitting on the asset makes me entitled to anything.

Sure there is a feeling of vindication, and you did take a risk. But when I hear these traders talk about "all the hard work they've done HODLING in the bear" I get a little confused.


Yeah, it definitely seems like bitcoiners begin addressing all these when they embrace sound money

During the crash and early bear market I promised myself I would always have some dry powder in fiat just to stay resilient against possible future price dumps.

Damn it sucks to have that fiat when the #Bitcoin price pumps like it did yesterday. Those sats may never be seen again :(


 its origin and purpose still a total mystery #nostrart #bitcoin

I guess you could argue that they are not profitable since they are engaged in theft and deception


Good morning nostr! ☕💜 #coffeechain #plebchain #grownostr #Bitcoin

The word "profit," from which "profitable" is derived, has its origins in the Latin word "proficere," which means "to accomplish, make progress; be useful, do good; have success, profit".

You're not adding value unless you are profitable.

True 😅


Yes.  True adoption is what carries Bitcoin.

But this type of adoption is probably not enough buying power to support the type of pump people are now expecting (which is why the ETF has become such hopium)


Good morning nostr! 💜🧡 #coffeechain #plebchain #grownostr

Some thoughts after the fakeout yesterday:

The excitement around the #Bitcoin ETF is undeniable.

I think the sad reality is that most realize, subconsciously or not, that without institutional capital coming in, we are not going to see another major bull cycle anytime soon. And with that no hype, no validation or big adoption wave coming. Instead a slow grind of adoption and then a possible rush at some unknown time in the future.

We've becomed accustomed and addicted to the four year cycle, and are now expecting our reward. I think the thought of not having a post halving bull market is terrifying to many bitcoiners. Not only would we not get the pump, but there would be no more regularity you could point to that would *guarantee* the next pump in the future.

If Bitcoin doesn't continue to go up in value, then the value proposition and incentives don't work. It's all reliant on NGU.

Ultimately I think NGU DOES work, and that Bitcoin WILL continue to go up in value. But if we want to be bulletproof then we should not expect or rely on the cycles playing out in the same way.

There are differences between the generators and also between the generations of the generators. Also different phrases in the prompting can have an effect on the variety.

For DALL-E-3 the 'motherboard coin' look comes up a lot. But I remember using midjourney where a wide variety of logos would come up (and again variety between midjourney 4, 5, 5.1, 5.2 etc).

It's weird to think about that if Bitcoin somehow blew up along the way,

Yeah, good response.

I think what I was pondering was if there is a line.

I don't blame people for taking out a loan to buy a house, as you are playing at a disadvantage if you don't. But if you are focusing your efforts on gaming the system by arbitraging expansive credit, the lines seems to get blurry to me

I guess to rephrase, one way of thinking about it could be that working from the perspective that inflation is theft, you can sort of decide to what degree you want to take part in that theft.

If you take no part you get stolen from, but if you take part like Rich Dad Poor Dad you are sort of on the side that steals.

Is that morally neutral just because someone else made the rules?


Yeah, for sure.

I was more coming from the ethical viewpoint in this one, but good day to you sir 🙏


Yeah, I agree, leverage can be be a risky game to play in terms of benefit to yourself.

I was more so coming from the angle of how it effects everything else.

Continued good day brother 😉☕☕


GM nostriches! 🌞☕💜🧡 #coffeechain #plebchain #grownostr #Bitcoin

Is it time we have a conversation about taking up loans?

Rich Dad Poor Dad goes (Robert Kiyosaki) into great detail about how he exploits the system by benefitting from money printing and basically getting assets for free. Saylor is running a similar playbook.

This is how the incentives are set up, and you are playing at a disadvantage if you don't do it.

But are you at some point becoming a fiat maxi by aligning yourself with those who benefit from inflation by extracting wealth from the rest of society?

GM nostriches! 🌞☕💜🧡 #coffeechain #plebchain #grownostr

Some thoughts about fractional reserve #Bitcoin after listening to the latest  WhatBitcoinDid pod with Jeff Booth and George Gammon.

They sort of agreed to disagree on the LIKELIHOOD we get an overgrowth of paper Bitcoin in hyperbitcoinized world.

But what they didn't discuss was the technical aspects of what paper Bitcoin is and how it would work.

The thing about fiat is that the "paper fiat" that gets created when a bank issues a loan, is actual units of the currency. They are not just promissory notes to fiat, they ARE fiat.

That is not the same with Bitcoin. Paper Bitcoin can't be sent on the blockchain. So if you want actual units of the currency Bitcoin, promissory notes are not the same thing.
And additionally, the promissory notes would not have any of the beneficial properties that the Bitcoin network provides, but would itself have to create a new type of fiat network to handle the transactions.


Aweseom, grats!

GM nostriches! 🌞☕💜🧡 #coffeechain  #plebchain  #grownostr

I was listening to Kat Cole from Athletic Greens on Pomp's pod this morning (post a bit long, relevance to #Bitcoin at the end).

She came across as very driven and highly skilled in terms of business. But I was thrown off when she recommendeded insoluable fiber as a supplement.
Myself I consume mostly animal foods, and after having gone down the nutrion rabbithole for the last 10 years I'm pretty convinced that animal foods are the most bioavailable and complete source of nutrition for humans. And that things like fiber are largely hyped up and not necessary for human health.

Now, of course, people may disagree, and there are arguments for and against. But what struck me was this woman's matter of fact, wholesale endorsement of fiber, like no further discussion was necessary. It didn't seem to me like she had truly been on a quest to learn "the truth" about nutrition.
It seemed more like she had adopted a nice story about nutrition, but one that was also good for business.

And here comes the point. Her whole pitch is about the mission and high quality of the product, but would she be there for the mission if not for a very good business?
My sense is that she sells "mission first", but in reality is "business first". That is not to say that she doesn't care about the mission, but that in order of priority, business is the determinant.

I think this is where many businesses (including crypto) and influencers go bad over time. Of course you have to think about business and how to value add (aka turn a profit), but the subtle shift of actually being mission first, and not compromising, is what holds the ship on course in the long run.

Bitcoiners and Bitcoin businesses are one of the clearest examples I can think of where the mission does come first.

The central banker's strategy is to put the masses to sleep.

The bitcoiner's strategy is to wake them up.

He's got his own podcast Gold Goats n guns (if i got the order right 🙃)


Awesome, would love to hear back from you if you check it out 🤙


GM nostriches! 🌞☕💜🧡 #coffeechain #plebchain #grownostr #Bitcoin

If you are taking the FED's mandate of "stable prices" and "2% inflation" at face value you still haven't unplugged.

Sure they don't want runaway inflation, and they don't want to be seen NOT fulfilling the mandate. But there is also a different game being played.
A game of thrones in the arena of competing centrals banks, war and geopolitics.

It seems to me that many from the finance world are so used to repeating the talking points in the news about FED policy that they no longer ask themselves what other motives might be at play.

Tom Luongo's podcast has been very refreshing in this regard. Not because he get's everything right, but because he always digs deeper.

Thanks!  😃🙌


Morning sir! 🤙


Yeah, probably better for Bitcoin if more had this perspective


Thanks! 🧡

I'm not gonna pin my hopes on a post halving pump.

Sure, that would be nice, but expecting it is giving your power away.

Morning! 😃


u2 too bro 😎🤙


Yeah, it's a really obvious connection of the dots. One that's hard to unsee once you see it.

Hopefully that will make propaganda about the causes of inflation less effective 🙏


🙏🧡 have a good day ;-)


Morning Bitkini :)


GM nostriches! 🌞☕💜🧡 #coffeechain #plebchain #grownostr

#Bitcoin fixes inflation

...is a message simple enough to penetrate the mainstream. We just have to repeat it enough.


Morning bro 👊⚡


ah man, that almost feels like too much 🙏


On primal and snort nothing happens when I press the follow button (it doesn't do the animation thing either)

On damus I can actually click the button and it says after that I follow them. But then after some time if I go back to their profile I don't follow them anymore


Yeah, that's another thing I've heard can mess things up.

I put my key into primal, snort, iris and damus...


I'm so confused.

Do you you have some simple tips/guidelines? I haven't been able to follow anyone for weeks (and guessing it has to do with the relays)


I can agree on that 😉


#Bitcoin is not optional #artstr #bitcoinart #zap #grownostr

I still like my forests and mountains 🤓


yoyo, let's get after it this week 😎


Have a great week man! 🤙


Morning Matt, hope you have great week 🤙


Same to you! 🙌


Morning bro, have an awesome week 🙏🧡

While (theWorld != bitcoinStandard)

    Try again this week


For sure.

Sometimes the world smiles at you though 😉


Not sure yet, but got her number, so gonna find out 😅


Yeah, bitcoiners are gonna win 🤙


These mfers want us sick


A girl just hit on me

I guess it's the proof of work/tan skin/lifting weights/eating steak vibes kicking in

Sounds exciting! I haven't traveled since the pandemic

What's up man? 😎

Any plans this weekend?


Morning Fren! 🐸 🧡


Same 🙏

We'll be like WW2 vets at that time


GM nostriches! 🌞☕💜🧡 #coffeechain #plebchain #grownostr #Bitcoin

There will come a time when people can't believe that in the year 2023 an individual nation state was printing the world currency


In massive complex systems like the world, the best predictor of the future is sometimes simple intuition


You're a better bitcoiner than I am 👍


Yeah, there are ways. It just sucks to be at the mercy of the regulators and having to do financial acrobatics. Just being able to save in Bitcoin without taxes would be nice

Morning Robert 🤙

Yeah, but they're gonna punish you for trying to escape with capital gains tax x_x


GM nostriches! 🌞☕💜🧡 #coffeechain #plebchain #grownostr #Bitcoin

Even IF CPI was a real metric, and even IF the CPI was brought down to 2%

THAT DOESN'T CUT IT

2% inflation is supposed to be the long-term mean of inflation. Temporarily hitting 2% after waves of 5, 10 or 15% inflation does NOT mean the job is done. I can't believe they get away with that narrative ☠
This is high school math.


Yeah, that’s why I’m worried 😅


This is us in a year right? #nostrmemes #memestr #memes #Bitcoin

https://m.primal.net/HLMR.png


I'm not sure I get it. Do you mean to trust them when moving to a new country? Or that things will work out in general?


Yeah, that's what I worried will be the only way.

I really hope my country can turn it around, but judging after the latest election people still are not rattled enough to support different politics/exit the system


Morning Mark! 🧡🤙


Yeah, I agree. But it's such a huge step to take when you love your country and have your friends and family there


You're a real trooper 👍😅


GM nostriches! 🌞☕💜🧡 #coffeechain #plebchain #grownostr

I guess the hardest realization after going down the #Bitcoin rabbithole is that I might have to move one day.

If you want freedom, Bitcoin friendly countries might be the only way to go


The singularity is #Bitcoin, #nostrart #artstrhttps://m.primal.net/HLJj.png


As a small account I echo this sentiment!


But I don't have nos2x installed was the point


You use it also to sign in to some clients like primal


Don't think so, only have alby


Ive had this problem for weeks over several clients. Any clue?


Yeah, I've been thinking about this and at one time tried to find alternate ways of calculating market cap that would in some way adjust for the degree of illiquidity.

I don't know if it's willful ignorance or just convenient convention that we include lost coins in the "official" market cap. But I think they definitely shouldn't.
Which again begs the question as you point out, but what about long term HODLing? Isn't that kinda the same thing?
I think it is similar, but not black and white. Which is why I was curious to search out alternatives to the normal way of calculating market cap where you just multiply supply with spot price.

I do think there is something interesting to explore there, and perhaps express mathematically. The degree of illiquidity exists on a spectrum and I think an adjusted market cap should somehow reflect that.

Btw, I tried to zap your post, but notice you don't have a lightning wallet setup ;-)


Yeah, spending and replacing as much as possible is the way to go


Agreed, just some food for thought 🙏


GM nostriches! 🌞☕💜🧡 #coffeechain #plebchain #grownostr

Maybe unpopular take:

Collectively #Bitcoin plebs & HODLers are doing the same thing as Binance does with BNB, FTX did with FTT and the diamond cartel does with diamonds.

We are increasing the illiquid supply to inflate the total market cap.

Ultimately I think liquidity is what gives Bitcoin value, and for hyberbitcoinization to take place that needs to go up a lot.

Just some thoughts as we are heading into the halving and possible squeeze of the price (partly as a function of illiquidity).


Morning dude 😎🤙


TLDR

j/k, good read

wild to think about 👀


GM nostriches! 🌞☕💜🧡 #coffeechain #plebchain #grownostr

Crypto is temporary

Commodity money acts as claims on other people's stuff. In that sense it similar to debt.

The difference is choice. Debt can be forcibly claimed, whereas commodity money still has to be voluntarily exchanged for it to ACT as a claim.

Fiat money is forcible claims dressed up as voluntary trade.

yup, that's pretty much waht I do as well


Yeah, I mean, I still use it, but I notice I'm getting drawn more on more toward nostr


I joined #nostr to be a part of the bootstrapping process.

Now, I genuinely think it's a superior experience to twitter. The ever chasing of the algorithm and engagement farmning get's tiresome.


It's SATurday ⚡🤙

Show me your receipts 😉 #memes #memestr #nostrmemes #zaps #plebchain https://m.primal.net/HKvS.png

Don't think theft based money is broken when it steals from you.

That's fiat working as intended.

The myth is that central banks replaced the cycles of boom and bust with perpetual boom.

The reality is that we are much closer to perpetual bust.


That’s how I intuitively view it as well


Thank you ❤ that was really helpful :)


1000 followers 🥳

Crossed the 1000 followers mark! Thank you, fellow nostriches for your attention — one of the most scarce things out there nowadays!

I’m continuing to share 💜 with you all via almost extinct LN invoices ⚡

Post your 1000 sats 🤯 invoice and I’ll cover the first 21 of them. Repost to make this more fun; Zap to support this sats ⚡ ride 🎢

Do not forget to follow me for all things #Bitcoin and #Nostr. Use #plebchain hashtag to find more fellow plebs.

Check out my project @#[0] to be in the know of the most important Bitcoin and Nostr historical events.

P.S. as rides are getting this big they will be held considerably less often (every 1000 new followers I guess), so take the most of this one 😉

Is it still woke?


The #SkullofSatoshi artist is on his way to getting orange pilled. He wasn't aware that #Bitcoin incentivizes green energy. And, he mentioned possibly bringing the sculpture to Miami for the upcoming Bitcoin Conference. 🤙🏻🫂 Bitcoin wins. Again.
