Podhome - your new home for your V4V podcast with Alby

"As a podcaster on Podhome you can configure your Value 4 Value recipients (who gets what) per show and per episode. Whether you're collaborating with team members such as a co-host, content writer, designer, or hosting a guest on your show, you can transparently split the income for each episode, ensuring that all contributors are fairly compensated and aligned in their efforts to promote the content. Every new listener can easily contribute value, thereby supporting the monetization of your content. Furthermore you can use Value Time Splits to send value to someone else during your episode, like to an artist when you play their song. This can be especially useful  when compensating an artist whose music is featured during your show. Podhome seamlessly integrates this functionality, making it an excellent platform for musicians and artists looking to share their work and receive compensation."

Agreed. I've thought the banking system was unfair simce 1995. Bitcoin seemed like the best alternative when I learned about it in 2014.

It drives me crazy to see so many Americans blame capatalism for thier plight when our monetary system is best described by the communist manifesto.

"Centralisation of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly."


Right. Some really smart dude pointed this out in 2009.

”The problem with this solution is that the fate of the entire money system depends on the company running the mint, with every transaction having to go through them, just like a bank."


It's called bitcoin.


They're really fiat maxis trading IOU's for fiat. They don't care about changing the world with public key cryptography.

On OP_RETURN: There was been some confusion and misunderstanding in the community, regarding the OP_RETURN feature in 0.9 and data in the blockchain. This change is not an endorsement of storing data in the blockchain. The OP_RETURN change creates a provably-prunable output, to avoid data storage schemes – some of which were already deployed – that were storing arbitrary data such as images as forever-unspendable TX outputs, bloating bitcoin’s UTXO database.

That's not bad.


As difficult as it might be sometimes, it's generally important to remember that most normies are just people who have (often from very young ages) been punished for thinking or questioning things & rewarded for regurgitating whatever nonsense was spouted by the authority figures in their lives.

description: Knowing the price of a thousand sats makes it easier to price the world in sats. In this blog I'll teach you how to learn the price of bitcoin without ever looking at the price.

i listened to a non-bitcoin podcast a few months ago. it is of interest for the readers of this blog because he participated in the value 4 value model on fountain.fm. he said somethig i've never heard before, but resonated with me.  ads pay the podcaster a certain number of pennies per download. maybe it was a penny and a half per download. that's not the actual number, i just made it up, but it was somewhere in that ballpark.  therefore, if a listener sends you 1,000 sats, it's as if that listener is worth 20x that of a listneer who is counted for ad revenue.  at the time, 1,000 sats was a quarter. today, a thousand sats is 42cents.

when i **zap someone 1,000 sats**, i zap them 42 vents worth of value. i expect the value of those sats to go up, for sure, but it's a metric ass-load more than the amount a couple attentive ears that fast forward through ads are. ads have become the defacto way of funding online content creators because the internet did not have native money. we are gamed by algos tnat know the type of woman or man we are attracted to and **what political red buttons will piss us off the most and keep our eyeballs chained to the screen**. why? to watch more ads.

a thousand sats is an important metric. this podcaster also said knowing the price of 1,000 sats makes it easy to calculate the "price of bitcoin" (a.k.a. 100,000,000 sats). what a silly measurement a hundred million sats is to compare to a dollar. in my stay huble and stack sats opinion, 1,000 sats is a better comparison to the dollar than 100,000,000 sats is to the dollar. 1,000 sats = 42 pennies. this means 1,000 sats are worth 42% of a dollar. so a hundred sats is worth almost a nickle again. you could send someone a fifty cent peace in the mail and who would know about it other than the person who sent it and the person who opened the envelope? i don't know, but a stamp costs 60 cents. when the price of 1,000 sats reaches 60 cents again, the price of 100,000,000 sats will reach $60,000. normies will say, "damn! i wish i would have bought bitcoin when it was under $20,000! i guess i'm too late now." i remember when a stamp was 42 cents. i remember when stamps were a quarter.  i don't look at the price of stamps these days and yell, "damn! i should have bought stamps when the were 25 cents! i guess i'm too late now. **i better use carrier pigions**.

## A Thousand Sats Is A Unit Of Account

a thousand sats is an easier number to work with. when i bought coffee with bitcoin the other day and it's like 100k sats, i know that it will cost me about $42.00 worth of my fiat bullshit pay. it was acvtually $38.00 last week.  that's the cool thing this podcaster pointed out. if you know the price of 1,000 sats is a quarter:

- 10,000 sats = $2.50
- 100,000 sats == $25.00
- 1,000,000 sats == $250.00
- 10,000,000 sats = $2,500
- 100,000,000 sats = $25,000

of course, it's easier for most people to calculate the price when the price of a thousand sats is 25 cents.  if that's how you feel, that's okay.  calculate it that way. if i know a million sats at 25 cents per thousand sats is 250 bucks i can find the actual price by switching the first two digits with the actual price of 1,000 sats.  at 42 cents, a million sats is $420.00.  that's an easy number to remember, even and especiallly if you're a pot head, but if 1,000 sats was 38 cents like it was last week, the price of a million sats would be $380 bucks.

### Not Everyone Can Own 100,000,000 Sats

This is a bitcoin meme these days. The idea is there are not 21 million millionaires in the world so not all of them can own 100,000,000 sats.

We also had the biggest bank failures this year. Must be a coincidence.

We are in what Andreas Antonopolis calls the "then they fight you" stage. The concept comes from the five stages of grief. Say someone goes to the doctor and receives some very bad news. The Dr. says she has 6 months left to live. Very bad news indeed. Humans react to this news in [five stages]

*   Denial

*   Anger (This is the then they fight you stage.

*   Bargaining

*   Depression

*   Acceptance

On January 3rd, 2009, banks and the governments they control got this bad news. Bitcoin eliminates the need for our Royal, unelected Central Banks. **Bitcoin is a terminal illness for them**. For a long time, they ignored it. It could never work. Who the hell would wait 10 minutes to buy a cup of coffee? Then **people started buying illegal herbs, fungus and flowers on the Silk Road**. They thought they they killed bitcoin because they were able to shut it down. *Denial*. They have been in this denial for almost a decade. [Bitcoin was declared dead 1771 times since then](https://99bitcoins.com/deadcoins/).

My favorite death certificate was issued after the regulated exchange FTX blew up, some economist went on JRE to declare it dead for good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrSj2RmRtbs&t=2

$ 16,000 was supposed to go to zero. Now 1000 sats is about 38¢, which means 100,000,000 sats is about  $38,000 if you care about that sortnof thing.

![Picture of powel boxing gloves](https://i.nostr.build/DJOJ.jpg)

What really died is the first stage of grief and they, the central bank royalty, are pissed. So they said bitcoin is used by terrorists to buy heroin porn, imaginary weapons of mass destruction, nerf guns, or whatever the fuck terrorists buy with money these days. These heroin porn purchaces must be stopped with regulation.

Nevermind that you've been sellin' your soul, workin' all day, overtime hours for bullshit pay. Focus on how terrorists can buy heroin porn with bitcoin so you don't lament the fact that law-abiding fiat maxis will never be able to afford a mortgage anymore. In my state, the median price of a home is $799,000. A first time buyer with a 3.5% down payment would have a monthly mortgage payment of **$5,603.92. **

That's not income, that's only the mortgage payment. You still need to buy essentials like groceries, electricity, gas, and weed. My wife is a principal at a school and would not qualify for a mortgage based on her income alone, not even for our house that is worth much less than the median price home under current market conditions.

The same people that has stopped all but the very rich from buying a home now wants to stop everyone from buying or using bitcoin without a regulated exchange like FTX. The regulations did nothing to stop "CrYpTo investors" from getting wrecked, but here they are fighting unregulated exchanges.

They can stop a few people with computers for sure, but can they stop 10,000 people with computers all over the world? The fines don't stop Binance like the fines don't stop money laundering banks. Shutting down one laptop does not erase the code he wrote. It's still out there. If they shut down GitHub we can put it on BitTorrent and Nostr.

The government thinks they are at war with unlicenced money transmitors like Spaceboi thinks bitcoin is a weapon. They have not yet learned bitcoin is not a weapon. Bitcoin is code and code is speech.

We lost our 4th amendment protections after 9/11. We still take off our shoes at airports because [one idiot tried to make a shoe bomb](https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/shoe-bomber-richard-reid-flight). Now [our government wants to eliminate or 1st amendment protections](https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0916) and turn us into a totalatarian nightmare like China or Canada. Bitcoin is not a weapon. Bitcoin is a protest. I stack sats as an alternative to redressing the government of my grievences like the fact that most college graduates won't be able to buy anything but [chattel real](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/chattel.asp) with our [broken money](https://www.lynalden.com/broken-money/).

The new world war is financial and the American royalty does not want you to flee. If you haven't seen it, watch Andreas's talk on YouTube. I know he's not a bitcoin maxi, but his words still resonate today. Despite this doomer style post, I am optomistic because we can opt out of the dystopian novel that is unfolding. We can choose bitcoin. Yeah, it's volotile. They say it wastes water, boils the oceans and is uselesss because we already have digital money.

Worked with WOS. I need to update my Phoenix wallet. This is amazing.


Really?


People can buy sats with applepay?


I think this has the potential to change the way we think about network security. The ride or die freaks think about security differently from organizations. We are all about Szabo's famous quote, "trusted third parties are security holes," and take extreme measures to ensure no one else has access to our keys.

A hospital or any other business has a gazillion people working for them that all need passwords, 2fa, etc. These are often smart people, but they know about as much as cybersecurity as I know about brain surgery.

The way places deal with this is host files in the cloud with a trusted third party who has the most liability they can find. All the hashes of the passwords are stored in a central location, making them an easy target.

From what I understand, this does the opposite. The keys are encrypted on the client, not the server. An attacker needs pysical access to the computer for the key. This mitigates the risk of social engineering attacks. If there is a breach, the key can be revoked.

This won't stop nprmies from writing their password on a post-it under the keyboard, but that's okay. Most of the people in the office have a password of their own. It's still a bad idea, maybe a jealous co-worker finds your password and searches porn sites, but it's less likely to end up on the news.

That's what I think anyway. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I am sure there are some things I've missed too.


Thank you. That makes a lot of sense. Where do you buy the cases, Newegg?


I've never built a computer, but have replaced parts. I'm due for a new computer though and I want to use AI more. How does this work? Are there plans to follow?


Bitcoin. Everything else is stealing.


I graduated before 2009.


Price gouging is like when people sell water for $10 after a hurricame.

That's not what this is.

The government has manipulated our currency to the point where most people can only by stuff that will eventually fill landfills now.

They only track the price of TV's and microwaves with CPI because they know the public can't handle the truth. How can "greedy businesses" gouge the price of real eatate and used cars?


Okay, I read the article now. This dude is a professor at my alma matter. I wan't my money back. 🤬


Thank you, but ...uh...WTF?


Authorizing Treasury to sanction particular blockchain nodes or networks is not only technologically infeasible, but it would be a dramatic extension of administrative authority to sanction software and free speech. It would also not cure the constitutional deficiencies that we also raise in our suit.

In an effort to close perceived loopholes, Treasury recommends massive expansion of warrantless surveillance and power to sanction open-source software

"Authorizing Treasury to sanction particular blockchain nodes or networks is not only technologically infeasible, but it would be a dramatic extension of administrative authority to sanction software and free speech."

This is a highlight created on https://highlighter.com


"Finally, the recommendations also include making “blockchain nodes or other elements of cryptocurrency transactions” subject to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). This authority would allow Treasury to sanction these entities, some of which may only be software. The explanation for why this is necessary includes a mention of Tornado Cash litigation, which includes a lawsuit Coin Center has filed against Treasury. While stopping short of admitting that Treasury does not currently have this authority, Treasury says that the recommended legislative action is to “resolve this issue.”"

"Persons who merely make available software (or any other speech for that matter) are not in a position of trust and should never, therefore, be the target of permission-based regulation. To target them is to target our freedom of expression itself."

This is a highlight created on https://highlighter.com


The existing standard, in a nutshell, asks if the person to be regulated is either an agent of the customer or a principal in a sale to the customer. The existing standard reflects common law principles of agency, privity, and fiduciary duty. These principles have worked for centuries to determine when a person is actually in a position of trust vis-a-vis their counterparty or customer and it is that position of trust that justifies regulatory oversight and legal obligation.

Code is speech.


"Non-custodial wallet providers may simply be publishing wallet software. “DeFi service providers” may be merely publishing smart contracts and websites. Miners and validators are merely relaying transaction messages and republishing them into blocks. None of these activities involve a legal or regulated relationship between the publisher of the software or data and the user of that software or data."

This is a highlight created on https://highlighter.com


"The recommendations go on, however, to claim to close “loopholes in Treasury authorities.” It does this by defining “virtual asset wallet providers, certain blockchain validator nodes, and decentralized finance services” as “financial institutions.” This definition would make each of these entities subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). Treasury also recommends that “DeFi service providers, noncustodial wallet providers, miners, and validators” all be treated the same as financial institutions and banks."

We understand Treasury’s desire for tools to limit the abuse of crypto systems by enemies of the United States like Hamas and we support efforts to appropriately fill legitimate gaps in the law. We, of course, also support strong national security, but it has to be constitutional and respectful of our civil liberties. Otherwise, what are we defending? Appropriate regulation and, just as importantly, enforcement of those regulations should focus on trusted intermediaries and not on tools or their publishers. The goal, as it always is in the realm of financial regulations, should be reasonable deterrence of illicit activities.

With nsecBunker, the key is encrypted on the client side.


You'll also need all three xpubs or the wallet info.


In that situation, consider 1-of-3 keys lost.

You can recover your bitcoin with Caravan as long as you have 2-of-3 keys.

Let's play in the Land of Makebelief today. Imagine the Blackrock EFF is aproved. The price of a sat pumps to $0.001. The fiat maxis like on the microblogging company formally known as Twitter rejoice. We have regulatory clarity. The custodial lightning wallets get banned like online poker. NGU for the win. Bitcoin becomes another investment locked into the third party trust paradigm, but nobody uses it as peer-to-peer electronic cash. They sell their bitcoin for CBDC's to buy groceries and pay for their car payment(The van they live in) The government can keep tabs on them no matter where they're parked. Yay suits!

![black hole rock](https://i.nostr.build/3qwW.png)

But the US goober-mint decides to levy an emergency inflation tax on anyone who sells their blackRock ETF's. Now, suit-maxi Bitcoiner Bob is required to pay a 50% tax on top of his 15% capital gains tax. Lucky for you, the capital gains tax is programed right into the CBDC so you won't need a CPA. The CPI is "going down", stabilized at 3.3%, but your grocery bill, electric bill, and everthing else you need day to day inexplicably rises 15% every year.  Yay democracy!

## Meet Alice, Living On The Bitcoin Standard

![candle](https://i.nostr.build/7VPv.jpg)

Alice is sophisticated. Alice  is sassy. Not so long ago, she decided **she would not send her fiat to Mr. Blackrock**. She asked herself, **why buy Black rocks when I can buy orange coins**? On second thought,  **why send fiat to some corporation at all? Why not sell stuff for bitcoin instead?** Be your own business and be your own bank. She gets on nostr. She makes candles and sells them for Bitcoin on clients like [Shopster](https://shopstr.store/) and [Plebian Market.](https://plebeian.market/) She uses some of her profits to buy coffee and beef with Bitcoin. She saves the rest because she subscribes to Matt Odell's newsletter:  She meticuliousy follows the advice of this daily newsletter. "Stay humble. Stack Sats."

Alice sells candles. She has a job, but this side hustle earns about $500 worth of bitcoin every month. She still thinks inflation sucks, but at least she is stacking value that cannot be debased. Therefore she expects to retire in about 2 more halfings. In about 8 years, she plans on buying some land, hooking her van up to water and sewage on this land and growing most of her food. She's rich, according to fiat standards, but doesn't see the need to waste sats on status symbols. Status symbols are a security holes.

# The Importance of The Circular Economy

The circular economy is the bitcoin economy. It's composed of hardcore Bitcoiners who use Bitcoin as peer to electronic cash. They prefer this electronic cash to fiat trash. Fiat cash is guaranteed to buy less and less stuff over time. Therefore, those who take part in the circular economy trade goods and services for bitcoin instead of trading bullshit pay for Bitcoin. Some argue there is no circular economy. There is just the economy and it does not make sense to spend sats when it goes up in value so much. I think this is misguided and will explain why in a little bit. For now, we will d efine what the circular economy means: Simply buying goods and services with bitcoin.

Bitcoin used in the circular economy is outside "the system". If this Bitcoin is only used to buy goods and services between Bitcoiners, that p2p electronic cash will never be exchanged for fiat tr, it will be used to buy more things like coffee and and beef. If you're one of the NGU maxis, think about what that means for a moment. The bitcoin used in the circular economy will remain off the exchanges. When the exchagnes run out of bitcoin, what do you think will happen to the "bitcoin price?" The less Bitcoin on the exchanges, the more valuable it becomes. Therefore, the more people who opt to buy clothes, and coffee using bitcoin in the circular economy instead of using credit cards to buy low time preference crap at the mall, the less bitcoin will be available for trading shitcoins like ETH and USD on the exchanges. That's like NGU to the moon.

When viewed from this perspective, **stacking sats and buying goods and services from people who accept Bitcoin for their products is akin to stacking harder**. In other words, **more sats are stacked in aggregate**.  Ben Franklin once said, "a penny saved us a penny earned". By the same logic, a sat spent in the circular economy is a sat stacked. I'm not saying waste your sats and spend frivolously. Spend sats carefully. Set a budget . Spend on things you will use. But it's better to spend Bitcoin on products and services offered by hardcore Bitcoiners than spend fiat on Amazon. Spending Fiat on Amazon does not put more Bitcoin into the hands of another fellow Bitcoiner. Spending for more things using bitcoin will create the Intransigent Minority Cory from Swan wrote about.

*   Buying some art at Home Goods? Why not support an artist on nostr?.

*   Do you buy coffee grounds? Buy coffee grounds with bitcoin.

*   Need to cover your bald head? Buy a hat with bitcoin.

### WTF Are Non-Paid ADs?

You have undoubtedly seen paid advertisements and affiliate marketing.  This is not that. V4V ads are more like word of mouth adverting. This makes my ads free from influence. These companies are free to zap me after the fact, but I came up with this list on my own because I believe in these companies and have used them. One of the reasons I started writing a blog about using bitcoin is because I wanted to promote the circular economy. I believe the best way to support this economy is to tell the world about companies that accept bitcoin for payment. In case you didn't get the memo, Cory Klippsten says [we need ten million bitcoiners to become an intransigent minority](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ten-million-bitcoiners-intransigent-minority-cory-klippsten) for hyperbitcoinization to occur.  To me, this not only means stacking sats, but also using bitcoin as p2p cash. This is not to say saving is unimportant. It is important to save, but you need to eat. Buy some groceries with bitcoin. I don't really need to drink coffee, buy I do, so I will buy coffee with sats. You might think, I would rather spend $ 12   bucks  on Foldgers than  $ 20 on bitcoin coffee. I'll buy sats with the difference.

Maybe, but if you buy coffee with sats, even sats you insta-converted from fiat on Strike, you contribute to taking more bitcoin off the exchanges. When I bought a 3D printed heater case from Crypto Cloaks, I know those sats most won't end up on an exchange. I assume the same is true for the bitcoin coffee sellers. This is not a new idea. My brother in law owns a business. He likes to shop locally even though he knows he can find a better price at WalMart. Shopping locally helps support his local economy. He wants the money he earns to stay in his community. Bitcoin is a world wide monetary network, but we have our own "local bitcoin economy." That local economy  happens to be on The Internet, so you might buy stuff from someone in your own town, or across the world. I may live in California, but I still consider products I buy with Bitcoin from companies located in Canada my local community. In some ways that community is even more local than my meat space community. It's in my pocket. I don't even need to leave my house.

That's more important than an ETF in my opinion. That's why I support participating in the circular economy. The problem bitcoin solves, the Byzantine General's problem, cannot be solved by trusting a third party like Black Rock. The problem bitcoin solves can only be solved if bitcoin is used as peer to peer electronic cash and saved in the bitcoin network. I support companies that support this mission of keeping bitcoin native. You won't see ads for gold or hardware wallet's I don't like or have never used . Bitcoin Panties might be a fine company, but I don't endorse bitcoin panties, because I don't wear panties. There are a few companies I believe have great potential, but are not ready for the masses quite yet. My V4V ads attempt to highlight companies like this and find the best solutions to my own problems.

### I Thought The Value 4 Value Model Did Not Use Ads

I disagree. The Value 4 Value model does not use paid ads. These are not those ads. Paid ads often seem disingenuous. Tom Brady is or was a great football player(So I hear) Jillions of people trusted his opinion about FTX because he handles pig-skin balls very well. People associate his pig-skin ball throwing skills with his ability to pick great crypto companies. It's a common rhetorical trick, but it's dumb. That's like saying I can predict the winner of the next SuperBowl because I know how to create a vanity address.  This is not true because cryptography and football have nothing to do with each other. I kinda get why people like Jordan's shoes, but doubt sneakers made by Chinese children will improve my jump shot. Nor do I believe Mike would he wear Hanes underwear if Hanes didn't they did not pay him.  I often feel the same way when hearing some bitcoiner podcasts talk about certain products. Block-Fi is an obvious examples, but I often feel the same about some of the hardware wallets people shill. I don't have anything bad to say about BitBox02, but I've never used the wallet, so I would not feel comfortable shilling it, even if they offered to pay me.  I'm sure it's a fine wallet. I wish BitBox all the best, I just can't vouch for them because I have never used one. I have a ledger nano that is about as old as a certain podcasters ledger nano, but I do not recommend them because I often get phishing emails from their official website among other things. They would pay me \$20 for every customer I refer them if I joined their affiliate program, but I can't accept that money in good conscious.

So these are not ads for Hanes underwear. If the Blackrock ETF gets approved, you won't see me shilling them because I think holding a bitcoin ETF is almost as dumb as letting some website convince you that you own rock jpegs. I don't believe in ETF's or NFT's's

The following is a list of business that I do use:

[Coinkite](https://coinkite.com/)

You have heard of them for sure, the maker of the world famous Cold Card. If you don't have a cold card, you need to get your shit in order, but the company makes at least 50 products.  I don't have a discount code for this company, but listen to a bitcoin podcast and I'm sure you will find one. Coin kite does a lot of other cool shit too, like the satschip, a product designed for artists.  NFT's are a scam, but physical art is a real thing. Artists who add the satschip to their physical artworks can throw a photo of the artwork on the CoinKite website.  These jpegs are not NFT's. They are not Ordinals. They are art with a chip that works similar to the Tap Signer, except the seed can never be revealed. It ties the physical paining, a , et al. to the bitcoin blockchain. It's neat way of tying art to digital scarcity without all the scammy bullshit associated with NFT's

[Bitrefill](https://www.bitrefill.com/us/en/) let's Me buy gift cards with bitcoin. I used to use it to pay my bills, but they have since discontinued that service. I still think it's a great company and use it as a way to get discounts on certain stores like CryptoCloaks.

\[CryptoCloaks]\(<https://www.cryptocloaks.com/>) is a company that sells  3D printed items for sats. I hae bought quite a few things off them. Most recently, a case that my S9 which has been converted into a heater. He has a lot of other cool stuff too. Check him out.

[BitcoinHatGuy](https://bitcoinhatguy.com/) has sold hats for bitcoin for decades and I have spent more sats on these hats than I feel comfortable admitting, but have never regretted my purchases. In real life, I'm one of those wierdos that wears the same thing everyday: Black T-Shirt and Gray pants, but I have an extensive hat collection. I buy most of my hats with bitcoin and most of those hats were bought from BTChatGuy. They're great, cheaper than MLB or even minor league baseball hats and I don't watch sports anyway. If you wear hats, buy a hat from this dude.

[Robosats](https://learn.robosats.com/)

Bitcoin exchanges are some of the biggest spenders in the bitcoin content creation market. They are the bread and butter for content creators.  This makes sense, because they also get the most in fees. According to David Bennet from the Bitcoin and Podcast, The Cash App had over a billion bucks in revenue from bitcoin sales alone. Good. I'm happy for the Block, but smaller bitcoin only exchanges like RoboSats don't get the exposure they deserve because they don't have the marketing budget.  RoboSats is a peer to peer exchange.  It's only on TOR, but they also have an app on the Andoroid store for those too timid for TOR.

Robosats is a bitcoin escrow service. They hold bitcoin in escrow and wait for conformation that payment has been recieved. Bitcoin sellers generally sell for about 5% above market value to provide KYC Free Sats to customers. Fiat settlements are made using the Cash App, Strike, or even Amazon gift cards. We should market the p2p exchanges like this more. Robosats  incentives this by giving users or referal codes. Refer someone to RoboSats using your referral code and you will get 100 sats for each trade. I would like to see people shill RoboSats and pick up these sats on social media. So I am not only asking you to use RoboSats, but I am also asking you to shill it.  I had nodeless.io on the list, but the tyrannical government of Canada shut it down. When I attempt to orange pill normies, the objection I most often need to overcome is "Bitcoin can never work because the government\[state] will shut it down. The 100k bitcoiners in the world know it does not work that way, but most CPI believers think the government just needs to shut down the single bitcoin computer to take it all away.  Perception is reality as they say. And yeah, we won't all turn off our bitcoin mining heaters or shut off our nodes, but I have seen online Poker get decimated by government policies. They did not succeed at ending online poker, but they essentially ended access to online poker for anyone with a sub 120 IQ.  If we want bitcoin to be for everybody, we need to make it easy for people to buy non-KYC bitcoin. RoboSats is making that their mission.

[Satoshi Coffee Co](https://sats.coffee)

I just learned about this company while searching for nostr icons on github.  Full disclosure, I have not vetted them yet because I just made my first order. If this coffee is any good, I'll let you know. I'll add a picture of the coffee when it gets here.  You know what else?  It's not as cheap as Foldgers, but I'm tired of drinking fucking Foldgers. My wife loves Foldgers by the way, so it's not like I'll stop buying it, but I really hope this satoshi coffee is good because hyperbitcoinization won't start until we demand buying coffee with bitcoin like Jewish people demand Kosher drinks.

[BTCPins](https://btcpins.com/)

BTCPins sells cool bitcoin collectible PINS. They're reasonably priced and look great. He only accepts bitcoin because he is a true ride or die freak. He is also one of the meetup organizers in Southern California and wears hats sold by Bitcoin author, Knut Svanholm. He's the real deal.

[Strike](https://strike.me/)

Strike would pay me like five or ten bucks if I had you sign up with them via my referral link, but I'm not recommending them for the referral money. This is about recommending services I use. Strike is the best way to send fiat around the world. I also know that many bitcoiners don't like the idea of spending their own bitcoin, Strike gives you the ability to instantaneously convert fiat to bitcoin and vice-versa. I would rather have the hodl never sodl people spend fiat in the circular economy this way.

In a perfect world, Strike would not comply with KYC laws, but like I said, it's the best way to send fiat around the world.(or people on Robosats who could be anywhere in the world.) I also think if a KYC free exchange is to expensive, you're better off stacking a little on a KYC exchange than not stacking at all. Budgets are tight these days. If you can only stack a penny this paycheck, stack that penny with Strike.  Need to send fiat to Mexico, use Strike instead of Western Union.

[Seed Signer](https://seedsigner.com/)

Seed Signer is a raspberry pi with no Wi-Fi. You can make your own or buy one from the store. The seed signer does not have a secure element, but it also does not store your seed on the device. Therefore, you must write down your seed and enter it into the device every time you plug it in. This sounds like a pain in the ass, and it is if you do it that way, but it comes with a camera and a unique neat feature. You can create a QR code using a pen and paper.(You'll need access to a printer too) Actually, I recommend using a pencil and paper. It's easy to make a mistake so you might want to erase it. You can always go over it with a felt tip pen later if you're worried about a man in the middle attack. You can also use it for nostr keys I think, but I have not tried this feature. I would not  trust all my bitcoin with any wallet, but this is an excellent wallet to use as part of a multisig with Sparrow Wallet or Specter Desktop.

[Get Alby](https://getalby.com)

Get Alby is my favorite desktop wallet. I've made some videos about them here and highly recomend it because you can use it as a custodial wallet or hook it up to your own node. I also respect this product a lot. Back in 2017 or 2018 we had the Joule browser extension, but you had basically had to be a lightning engineer to get it to work. I wasted many hours of my life away trying to get it to work on my browser with no dice. Alby is about 100X improvement over the old Joule days. They also have some cool nostr features and make it easy to login to websites.  Full disclosure, I have no idea how they make money.

These are not all the products I use, and I will add more over time. If you have a bitcoin side hustle or sell a bitcoin related product, let me know about it. I'm always interested in learning about more bitcoin companies.  I'm still searching for the best non-custodial lightning wallet, but it is too early to have an opinion yet. I a also spent my spare time learning about multi-sig during the pandemic and collaborative custody has some of the best trade offs, but there are things I like about them and things I don't.  Casa is great for privacy, and I like the hardware wallets, but the ETH thing makes me nervous. I don't have any eth, but if I die, I don't want my wife to sign into Casa and see a big Ethereum ad. Unchained Capital has an awesome bitcoin only collaborative custody model, but retrieving the key requires  wills and trusts that I don't understand. I like the self sovereign solution unchained provides, but it's too technical for my wife. Nunchuck is also great for the hardcore, but my wife wants to punch me in the face when I talk about it.

Support Your Local Bitcoin Circular Economy To Drain The Exchanges

Buying stuff you need from Bitcoiners takes more bitcoin off the exchanges. I am always looking for more companies that accept bitcoin and wrote this article as a value 4 value advertisement for the bitcoin circular economy.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qpp8xatswphhyapd09hh2u3dd3hkxctv943xjarrda5kuttrd9exxatvv9ez6etrdahx7mte946x7ttywfskjm3dw35x2tt90p3ksctwvajhxq3qwkljx5c6a8uccc5etws8ry0y3r4dgavh2dcav0tal4rtmcdl4z2sxpqqqp65wjek8r0


"Then a second chasm happens when coding Nostr Wallet Connect because it requires a lot of async code, which is also too complicated. Then replaceable events make you redesign your indexing choices and your db becomes messy. With replaceable events, you can add lists, which take a leading position in the UI filters. Then you add DMs and other private decryption stuff that might need a new caching layer. Then labels and communities make you rethink what a feed is. And finally, if you are native, NIP-46/Android Signer makes you redesign the way you sign and encrypt/decrypt messages because everything is now async."

I used to pay my trash bill with BitRefill,  but they discontinued the service.

I forgot to pay for like a year. 🤦

I paid it today, but they never sent me any threatening letters, called me, or stopped picking up my trash and only charged me like six bucks in late fees.
😂


Amazing. I've tried onboardstr, but you're right, normies won't do key management. This OAuth style login makes nostr normie friendly. 🤙


Congratulations.


Have you tried Robosats?


I'm still developing my own zapping strategy. I thought about writing about it, but this protocol changes so fast, my strategy gets outdated too soon. I'm starting to use the support button on highlighter.com for some of my favorite coders and podcasters, but it doesn't always work and I'm not rich enough to send monthly donations to everyone I would like to.


When it comes to signal vs noise, I think it’s what makes most sense. I have shifted my zap approach a few times since then and where I’ve landed for now is having a few defaults depending on the level of signal I feel is right: 100, 210, 1000, 2100, 5k, 10k. I don’t use likes and I only use the very small/micro zaps when testing wallets or someone else is testing something and I want to help them.


What's the gist? I don't have time to read novice bitcoin mining opinions.


I remember reading this and now I think you're on to something.


This makes sense.


I couldn't get it to work with Blixt or Phoenix.


Like marijuana?


That's what I do when fees are high.


That makes sense, but politics in America no lo longer make sense to me.

The American dream is dead. Politics has become a pissing match between social issues and you're right, the third party strategy has not worked. So Americans are indoctrinated tonthink they can onlynchoose between two canidates from two anointed political parties that only agree on one thing: The Chairman of the Federal Reserve.


That's what I'm saying. A decade ago, only libertarians and a few applied cryptographers  were the only people into #bitcoin. Now It's going mainstream.


I haven't voted since going down the agorism rabbit hole, but I've been a registered libertarian since my early 20's.

How is it that two pro bitcoin US presidential canidates appeared on the  What Bitcoin Did podcast and I couldn't even tell you who's running under the libertarian ticket?


Thank you.


What do you mean? Do you have any examples?


You've added a ton of awesome features lately. I admire your work.


This is my favorite, kind 30024. :)


I like this hashtag.


We went to bars.😎


Muir Woods. I think I went there as a kid. My grandfather lived in Mill Valley. It wasn't too far from his house.


Is this in Mill Valley?


I'd zap this, but you need a lightning address.


I didn't even know that. This date was before dating apps existed. We didn't even have my space back then. 🤣


I forgot about this shitcoin. I had no idea WTF I was doing during the ICO craze.


That is pretty cool. And damn, I was thinking about buying that phone.


I plan on dehydrating rosemary with my s9, but your idea is way cooler. What kind of mushrooms are they?


Wait, are you dehydrating mushrooms with S19's now?


I once went on a date with a woman who asked me what time of the day I was born so she could see where the stars were aligned at that exact moment to see if we were compatible. She had a book and everything.

I don't remember the exact mumbo-jumbo she spewed, but I knew we were not compatible because she believed in astrology and I don't believe in bullshit.


Thank you. 🤙


I'm 16,801 days old today.


Why sell when we can buy coffee instead?


Yeah I made that mistake at first, but still, why are companies that deal with such large amounts of money less secure than an average pleb with a cold card?


If only someone said, "Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve. We have to trust them with our privacy, trust them not to let identity thieves drain our accounts. Their massive overhead costs make micropayments impossible."


Hello California

Hello California!


I give fake kyc info


Nice to see you again.


Namecheap, but they're picky.


Some of my many opsec mistakes:

 - Buying domains with a credit card
 - Using AWS with my name and credit card
 - Doing KYC with CloudFlare
 - Showing my face at conferences and podcasts
 - Antagonizing KYC Bitcoin companies
 - Not being careful about nostr posts, which cannot be deleted


Yes, but fees were higher back then because they were considered free or almost free since the fiat value was so low. At least that's how I thought about it in 2014.


This was before my time, but I can't believe how high the fees were back then compared to now. The median fee in this block is generational wealth for like ten families.


I don’t understand the obsession with getting my grandma on nostr.

Products need to start with a very specific and clear target audience. Then build out after we satisfy the needs of that group. If the target is just people who want to do social media, we will most probably fail.

Nostr was born from Bitcoiners, I personally believe we need to continue to serve that group. No shame in that, and nothing is wrong with this goal.

Bitcoiners are people too, and trust me they have interests and hobbies beyond Bitcoin just like everyone else. Continue to serve them, give Bitcoin an application, build tools for Bitcoiners to sell their work.

Others will join.


Thank you.


I'd like one please. 🤓


I would like to see more browsers built for nostr that let people easily see all the micro apps available to them. Spring browser is one option, but we need something like this for apple users too.

What was the problem?


I started making nostr content on rumble and YouTube, but there's so many options and I suck at marketing.

thankful for spooks in canada and nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8  for reminding me of the importance of non-kyc lightning apps such as #robosats. Decided to ditch shakepay today and will be focusing no-kyc exchanges only. The ux in these apps are pretty rough. Looking forward to contributing to these when I can.

I would love a native client for robosats, bonus with an order book backed by nostr. So much work to be done here.

Just learned from nostr:npub1wkljx5c6a8uccc5etws8ry0y3r4dgavh2dcav0tal4rtmcdl4z2sfu5u0t that Blixt Wallet has LN addresses!


I will explain mining yields in detail with a much longer note. It's a good opportunity to showcase my permaculture approach to Bitcoin mining and the progression of home mining here at the homestead.
https://i.nostr.build/EYLl.jpg
The most surface level yields from Bitcoin mining are the sats and the heat.
https://i.nostr.build/mB4G.jpg
I mine with a FPPS pool which pays out sats proportional to the hash I contribute to the pool regardless if the pool finds a block or not. The FPPS pool structure is good for my situation because my hash is intermittent. My miners are only running when I need them to do work for me or when I have extra solar power.
https://i.nostr.build/JYjr.jpg
The mining I do is transaction fee insurance because as the fees to transact on the network increase the amount of Bitcoin I mine increases proportionally. If I can't delay transactions until fees are more favorable the extra sats I'm earning from mining will subsidize the transactions I make during periods of high fees.
https://v.nostr.build/Zn4k.mp4
I don't think of the sats I earn from mining as free but more of a rebate on the cost of power usage from the work performed by my miners. Because I use an FPPS pool I don't need to expend extra energy in order to guarantee a payout. I get paid out proportionally to the hash I contribute at the time that I'm hashing. If I'm hashing I'm getting paid.
https://v.nostr.build/zeGd.mp4
I hope this clears up some of your questions when comes to yield, transaction insurance, and payouts when it comes to mining at home. Once again I am working on a longer for note that will breakdown home mining yields through the lense of permaculture.

Ten Million Bitcoiners: The Intransigent Minority

"This, to me, is unacceptable. That is why I have dedicated my life to recruiting the other 99% of our intransigent Bitcoiner minority here in the United States. There are 100,000 of us already. Help us recruit the other 9.9 million."

This is a highlight created on https://highlighter.com


"Let’s be clear: Bitcoin would survive even the most concerted and vicious attack by the U.S. government. It might even thrive, Antifragile-style (another Taleb book), with people around the globe snapping up sats en masse as they witness the erstwhile hegemon lash out. But it could also play out differently, with a massive drop in network activity and value, thousands of individual lives irreparably disrupted, and the delay of our bright orange future by decades or longer."

This is a highlight created on https://highlighter.com


"And by far the most threatening attack vector, in my opinion, would be a concerted effort of the U.S. government at many levels attempting to stamp out Bitcoin in an effort to maintain dollar hegemony across the globe."

This is a highlight created on https://highlighter.com


"There are approximately 100,000 Bitcoiners in the United States. This means that just to get to “intransigent minority” levels, we need a 100x increase. This is why adoption dominates all other priorities for Bitcoin."

Here’s the concept at work: almost every packaged food product for sale in the U.S. has a tiny U inside a circle printed outside. Very few U.S. residents require the kosher certification indicated by that U, but it’s easier for food companies not to have to make two separate lines for every product, so they generally make everything kosher. The rule, per Taleb: “A Kosher eater will never eat nonkosher food, but a nonkosher eater isn’t banned from eating kosher.” For most observed complex systems, the minority contingent required to flip a population to comply with their intransigent view is in the 3 – 4% range. With a U.S. population of 325 million, 3% is 10 million.

Oops. Wrong one.

https://github.com/github-tijlxyz/nostr.cooking


Ayn Rand should in theory be loved by the left. She wrote about a female heroine. Science & rationality are primary values. All of her bad guys are basically greedy rich people who make their money by enslaving & taking advantage of others, and her good guys were willing to give up wealth, destroy their businesses, build their own community, & live as basic day laborers in order to defeat the rich parasites.

But her heroes were fighting people possessed by a desire for unearned status & rewards. They were fighting socialism. She exposes what lurks in the shadows of the altruistic mind, convinced of its own moral superiority, & repeatedly drives a dagger through the heart of the fraud & emotional manipulation required to spread & maintain socialism. So the left responds to her like a demon to a cross.


Please add the recipe to nostr.

War sucks and can happen anywhere. NGU is nice, but my favorite part is the bitcoin network is everywhere.

If you must flee because of war, you can flee with your wealth as long as you can remember 12 words. Your house, as expensive as it might be, will not help you much.

That's not priced in.

This is why I turned an old S9 into a heater.


"Some places where generation will gravitate to:
1) places where it's cheapest or free
2) people who want to help for idealogical reasons
3) people who want to get some coins without the inconvenience of doing a transaction to buy them

There are legitimate places where it's free.  Generation is basically free anywhere that has electric heat, since your computer's heat is offsetting your baseboard electric heating.  Many small flats have electric heat out of convenience.

How expensive is heating oil?  With the price of oil so high, if it's actually more expensive than electric, then generating would have negative cost.

There's also kids putting it on their parent's power bill, employees their employer, botnets, etc.

Case 3 comes into play for small amounts.  The overhead of doing an exchange doesn't make sense if you just need a small bit of pocket change for incidental micropayments.  I think this is a nice advantage vs fiat currency, instead of all the seigniorage going to one big entity, let it go in convenience amounts to people who need to scrape up a small amount of change."

Yes.


Seems like for android users.... I do like Blixt wallet

https://i.nostr.build/6gdz.jpg


It turns on, but I cant access it over TOR or my local network. I should try the IP address.


Yes. I DIY'd. I haven't accessed the bios either. I'm not sure what happened.


I can't access Start9 since the update.


You're welcome.

It was announced a couple days ago. I set it up today. It's pretty easy.


Are they using LN ot on chain? Fees are high these days.


This is the problem.


I just set up Blixt Wallet.

- Self Custodial like Phoenix.
- 24 word backups.
- Ability to create lightning addresses.


Wallet of Satoshi left the app stores presumably because of regulatory pressures.

Good. We can move on.

Step 1: Download Blixt Wallet on Github. Install the APK file on your phone. They're on Google Play and the App Store, but we've learned our lesson haven't we?

https://blixtwallet.github.io/

Open a channel by sending a bitcoin transaction to the wallet say between 2 and 5 million sats, but it's up to you.

That's it.  The channel opens automatically.

You should coinjoin before you send the sats too, but take baby steps if you need to.

Now send the sats to another wallet for inbound liquididty or spend sats.

To save fees, you can swap from lightning to liquid using boltz.

They have an onion address. You'll need the TOR browser.

http://boltzzzbnus4m7mta3cxmflnps4fp7dueu2tgurstbvrbt6xswzcocyd.onion/

They also have a clearnet version(use  a VPN).

You can get a liquid wallet with Blockstream's Green App.

Next, go into the advanced settings of the Blixt Wallet and set a lightning address in the lightning box settings.

Add the lightning address to your nostr profile.

Don't trust, verify.


Agreed. I've been re-reading much of the cypherpunk philosophy since getting on the nostr.


Blixt Wallet + Lightning Box

https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/blitx-wallet-v0-6-9-420/


Me too, but the technology must improve first. We're almost there.


But WOS did not rug anyone. Apple  is a dictatorship. Apple exiled WOS. Be mad at Apple, not Wallet of Satoshi.


This campaign is awesome. Can't wait to see what you have in store for January.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks.


Great idea. How do we make those twitter rss nostr accounts?

Happy Thanksgiving.


Sats earned in the circular economy stay in the circular economy and help foster Number Go Up technology.

Sats sold on the exchanges for fiat cause crashes.

My theory is that the more sats are spent in the circular economy, the higher the fiat price will be until the exchanges have no more #bitcoin to sell.

That's the path to hyperbitcoinization.

Earn sats, spend sats, save sats, but never sell sats.


We need to transition from buy bitcoin to buy and sell goods and services with bitcoin.


Agreed.


It's the easiest way. Umbrel has one two, but Start 9 explains more.

I made a video about the current app to show you how to make a nostr key on a cell phone. This app is easy, and it does give you a lightning address, but it's limited to one app while the Alby extension is interoperable with a multitude of clients like primal.net, habla.news, flockstr and hundreds more. This is great because passwords suck. My password manager has thousands of entries by now. It's a pain in the ass to use at this point. First, I wait for the site to load on Tor which is not the fastest browser in the world. Then I enter my password, search for the site, copy the user name, paste the username, copy the password, paste the password and finally click the button.

![albyHomepage](https://i.nostr.build/BYyK.png)

With Alby you login with your nostr key so you only need to type in your password once per session. There"s no reason to sign up for an account or five anybody else your email.

It"s easy to get started, but allows advanced users to connect it to their own node. In the following video, I will show you how.

Create an Alby Account

Create a personalized lightning address

Recover a nostr key using your 12 word backup

Create your profile

Login to several nostr sites with the click of a button.

By the end of the video, you'll know how to set up a nostr key and be ready to receive sats on the Internet. But wait...There's more. Most clients try to re-create the Xwitter experience without the corporate/government censorship complex, but it's a communication protocol, not a platform. Nostr is more akin to html than Xwitter. Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Meetup.com, Linktree, Substack, Medium, forims, gmail,Firefox, Pinterst, eBay,TikTok and morr. There is a version of all of these on the nostr protocol and they are censorship resistant.

Welcome. Followed. #grownostr #plebchain


I know.


Yes.


I saw these nostr:npub18kpw3akvdsyk239lx0jgwksr74sq4nlha3r8u9g2rnrhztfpfhysy469c4 stickers at my local meetup tonight. I didn't put them there, neither did the other guy at the meetup. There are bitcoiners among us.

Building a #bitcoin heater with an ols s9 is satisfying.

Maybe everyone learns ordinals are dumb and fees become so small that miners will not mine.

I will continue to mine because my wife likes to keep the heater on in the winter.

As long as more of us think like this we will win.


You could build a bridge between your paid group chat and NIP-172 communitoes with one of the python libraries like aionostr or the nostr library.

Legacy media is cringe. They spend more time advertizing Buick's and pharmaceutical drugs then talking to Jack Mallers.


We're planting seeds.


It's easy to go anon, but difficult to stay totally anon.


Looks interesting.


This is cool. Thanks for sharing.


Followed. #plebchain

I plan on building my s9 heater tomorrow.


I need a normie currated npub + onboardstr. Any suggestions?


I avoid talking about politics, especially about fiercely debated issues, but here is one of my hippie takes. I prefer The Virginia Declaration of Rights alternative to the second amendment.

"That a well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power."


I don't know what the Open AI controversy is and I don't care because I use https://home.plebai.com/.


"Andrew Young, a King aide who was present at the meeting, recalled that there was “not even an attitude of hostility” between the two, but at about this same time, the FBI anonymously sent King a compromising tape recording of him carousing in a Washington, D.C., hotel room, along with an anonymous letter that SCLC staff interpreted as encouraging King to commit suicide to avoid public embarrassment (Senate Select Committee, 167)."

Trusted Third Parties are Security Holes

Bitcoin open source implementation of P2P currency

"The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve. We have to trust them with our privacy, trust them not to let identity thieves drain our accounts. Their massive overhead costs make micropayments impossible."

For most of human history the dominant form of property has been personal property. The functionality of personal property has not under normal conditions ever depended on trusted third parties. Security properties of simple goods could be verified at sale or first use, and there was no need for continued interaction with the manufacturer or other third parties (other than on occasion repair personel after exceptional use and on a voluntary and temporary basis). Property rights for many kinds of chattel (portable property) were only minimally dependent on third parties – the only problem where TTPs were neededwas to defend against the depredations of other third parties. The main security property of personal chattel was often not other TTPs as protectors but rather its portability and intimacy. Here are some examples of the ubiquity of personal property in which there was a reality or at least a strong desire on the part of owners to be free of dependence on TTPs for functionality or security:

Corporate/government controlled social media has eliminated privacy to the point where we no longer have an open society. This causes people to get stuck in echo chambers.  An open society, with free speech allows for error correction. If you say a racial slur or an anti-semitic
joke in a free and open society, it won't get censored, but someone will be there to tell you your out of line.  In a closed society, this error correction doesn't exist. You just see more racial slurs and anti-semitic jokes and your opinions get reinforced.Banning this speech makes it worse because the people banned from one platform migrate to another platform that will not ban them, making them concentrate in even more closed echo chambers.

I want privacy because I want an open society. I also don't want public speech censored anymore. The unintended consequences are too great. That's why I'm bullish on nostr.


If two parties have some sort of dealings, then each has a memory of their interaction. Each party can speak about their own memory of this; how could anyone prevent it? One could pass laws against it, but the freedom of speech, even more than privacy, is fundamental to an open society; we seek not to restrict any speech at all. If many parties speak together in the same forum, each can speak to all the others and aggregate together knowledge about individuals and other parties.

Done 🤙


Thanks. What's the advantage of having no systemd?


You can swap them back in with ride the lightning, but I'm not sure what the fees are these days.


How did you move the sats onchain, something like ride the lightning?


I need a new Laptop, **Linux distro preferred**.  Anyone have a recommendation?

Looks like fungus, but I don't know what kind.


Writers are basically just slow rappers.

We just try to add more detail to what has already been said, and likely with beat.


I don’t believe that is a suggestion at all, but it is a question.

It’s no different than twitter, reddit and other interwebs or apps that has very sexualized content. Or the fact that AI has more vulgar porn on here than the content I have ever posted. I do what I can by labeling n s f w notes being pretty respectful in how I do so.

It’s up to the parents know what their kids are doing online. Not for an app to police what others interact with. Nor must I hide in a box and not being able to be my authentic sexy self. I sensor myself more then I’d like tbh here on the UNCENSORED WEB. I came here for freedom and yet I still have to worry about others options and reactions to my notes. The constant struggle is devastating. I personally only have myself to look out for and take care of. Im just doing me.

Freedom is a two edged sword. If they find me it's because they're looking for me or that kind of stuff specifically. I am not their mother.

Rather than blaming someone for using their freedom to post what they want on the UNCENSORED WEB, instead they should be teaching your kids better habits and morals, sitting down with them and talking about the fact that adults sometimes do things that are out of the norm box.  Content Creators and Online Sex work has become pretty norm nowadays. I’m sorry that you feel like I’m the only one in this world who is ruining the children’s eyes. It’s so unfortunate more humans can’t be open minded and accepting of what others to in order to live in this inflation world. Content creator is merely a small portion of who and what I am as a human being. These judgments need to stop.

Please stop following me if you have such opinions, I am here for me and if you can’t support some things I do, I really don’t need nor want to be around this type of energy. 💜💫(Said genuinely)*

They can unbank us with laws, but our goal is to unbank ourselves with a circular economy.

Time is more scarce than sats.


That's not how it works. 🤓

I was outraged by the no bullshit bitcoin headline, but after reading the article I was like, oh...is this why my channels get closed after sending 21 sat zaps?


Can't wait. 🤙
