I don't even bring it up anymore. If you didn't like bitcoin at wtk, you must hate it at 90k. Have fun on bluesky. 

 Smart move. 

 Thank you. 

 This is best NGU!

 I used alby, but Is there a way to check if my key was compromised with my npub? 

 What's Lbuntu? 

 I think you just connect a new onw. I've done it before, but now I can't remember how.
 

 I got a decent tax return because of my solar pannels and there were $5,000 ACH tranfer limits. I thought I moved it all to bitcoin, but I guess I was wrong. 

 Sounds interesting. 😀 

 It's a good article, but why can't he see the potential of nostr?

We use bitcoin as a medium of exchange. 

I would like to hear his opinion of clients like shopstr.

 

 Fedimints and Cashu are more akin to free banking.

Bailed out banks can GFY. 

 It is, but SpotTube shows how much artists would get paid. 

 Make shitcoins great again!🤢 

 This pushes my bias buttons, but how do we verify before January? 

 This is some late stage fiat bullshit.  

 What an asshole. 

 Had this been verified. It seems far-fetched, even for this fucktard. 

 Thanks. That dude is nuts. 

 How can his claim be in violation of this?

 Actually I was really asking. I don't really know much about licenses, but I still don't see how the actions of one person a judge ruled not to be Satoshi can sue bitcoin core. 

 I listened to this like 8 times. It's really good in Walker's voice.

It was 2 sats vbyte yesterday. 

 It looks  a lot better than golf games, helicopter money, and cat eating stories. 

 I have that one on my block clock. It's one of my favorites. 

 I miss talking to people in a room. 

 I have 7 pairs of gray convertible  pants, 7 black t-shirts, and 7 black polo shirts. I don't like wasting time choosing an outfit so I wear the same thing everyday. 

Is that what you mean by extreme? 

 Good thing you put that sarcasm sigh  up. I'm not so good catching that stuff. 😂 

 Mine hasn't worked for about a week. I think I need start over, but I'm kinda over self-hosted lightning wallets. 

 I run it on Umbrel and I don't bitch about it because it's early days. 😊 

 They pivoted. 

 I'm learning so much from this thread which is great because reverse TOR proxy = hellfire & brimstone. 

 I just figured it out. 

 I mean, bitcoin gave me the background knowledge to understand it.

Talking about it with other plebs also helped. 

 Do I need to do Yoga if I join? I don't mind yoga, but it's tough to cook while in the downward dog position.  

 This is the most important election of our lifetime...again.

 I did. It's on my todo list. 

 What career change are you making? 

 I never stop. I just can't shut up about it. 

 It will be glorious.  

 This is a great answer. I think Session uses I2P, but I don't know much about it. What is I2P? 

 Simplex 

 I love 0xchat, but it is way too early. 

 0x is seriously awesome though. I have high hopes for this app. 

 This looks interesting.  

 Great quote. 

 Sure, but I expect to empty my zappi g wallet every month. I don't keep my retirement money in a custodial wallet, just the money I intend to spend that month. 

 I used to think monero was better than bitcoin for privacy,  but now I know monero is not necessary.

We can achieve privacy using chaumian e-cash instead of a blockchain.  What's more, these e-cash solutions are interoperable with the lightning network. 

The steel-man argument against this is that chaumian mints require some trust. 

This is true, but Bitcoin is a peer to peer electronic cash system that requires no trust. We can trutnthst there will never be more than 21 million #bitcoin. Every other blockchain is an attempted breach of that trust, an attempt at debasing bitcoin the same way governments have debased gold by adding other metal to it. 

That's my two sats.

I would rather trust a few thousand sats with an e cash provider than try to debase the p2p electronic cash system that bitcoin is.


In the Wealth of Nations Adam Smith talks about the debasement of currencies by governments all around the world. They achieved this by smelting different metals with gold, making each coin contain less and less gold over time.

I see all alt coins as an attempt to debase bitcoin, a peer to peer electronic cash system. My node does not accept these debasment coins.

I do view stablecoins a little differently however. For example,  USDT is a digital representation of the dollar backed by the very financial instrument that is used to debase those dollars. I believe stablecoins are monetizing the debt, which debases fiat. This is not an argument for stablecoins, they're ust a little different.  

 I actually agree. Altcoins are failed attempts at debasing bitcoin, even Satoshi's namecoin.

I have been heavily influenquote. This Knut Svanholm quote:

 This was a great episode. I really enjoyed the stuff about misinformation as being a cyber atrack against "democratic institutions."

Yuval Noah Harari made this exact argument on The Waking Up Podcast. He thinks we need to fight misinformation and disinformation with FICTION to protect our institutions.  

 Good morning fellas.
