 All right people, i'm gonna put my reputation on the line and make a bold prediction:

 This concerns me. Shelter scarcity caused by bad money is a big problem. Politicians don't want to talk about  it. That's how I know it's a big deal. 
 I've been going down this Syrike BTCpayServer extension rabbit hole for a couple weeks.

It's awesome. I just need to pay my bills with bitrefill again. I'm not sure why they took that feature away. 
 The Strike API plugin on BTCpayServer is fantastic.

 I have an idea. All the store needs is a sign with a QR code.

When a bitcoin freak scans the QR code, the freak is taken to the Strike tipping page like https://strike.me/odell/

It says Tips, but it can be used as a POS. Say you owe your bartender or dry cleaner $21.00.

Simply scan the QR code. Enter $21.00. Pay the invoice. 

The merchant gets paid in sats or fiat. It can work at your local coffee shop or Wendy's. Nor does it require training employees how to accept bitcoin.
 
 How did you do it?

 I have no idea what this is about and I'm not sure I want to know.  
 Holy shit!! nostr:note16f4tvvd9pmkhse204kgcv6zc3nun625duxg032pjly4vq7esfkuqs3q05y 
 Who cares? The interesting thing about the article is that they hold a portion of their reserves in #bitcoin because PayPal tried to screw them.  
 I didn't even think of easy wallet setups. I should have my wife test this theory. She's only sent like 5 transactions in ten years. 
 Give this a listen. It actually seems interesting. I wouldn't give them my address, but you can pick them up at best buy.

 What horrible food do you secretly love?

For me it's KFC with gravy

Fucking love that shit 
 Sad news. I started listening like at episode number three.  
 Does BTCpayServer have a donation lightning address? #asknostr 
 Thanks.

 I'm one of those weirdos who wears the same color pants and shirt everyday. It makes packing for trips easy.

7 black t-shirts.
7 gray convertible pants.
7 socks.
7 pair of underwear
1 black hoodie
1 to go bag(deodorant, toothpaste, etc.)
 
 No, but that's a great idea. 🤣

 Darn your socks. Stack sats. 
 The two most popular US presidential candidates on the ballot will speak at bitcoin magazine's bitcoin 2024 conference.

 That's bad ass. 
 Nothing better than seeing bitcoin stickers placed by someone else. 
 I’d like to thank my two nostr bots. You make me feel seen lol. 
 We see you. 
 Editor and Chief of bitcoin magazine.  
 Guess CEO is his official title. 
 Two candidates were "chosen" without debate.

One of these candidates dropped out four months before the election.

I wish a republic could work forever; but I've lost my faith in federalism.

Let's focus on local governence instead of this shitshow.

The national debt and unfunded liabilities are the biggest double spending problem in the world.

Fix the double spending problem, fix the world.

 This is why I no longer like the meme, "have fun staying poor."

It's not fun.
It's sad. 
 Safe to say it is time to diversify your business operating systems. 
 Most companies want to use centralized infrastructure so they can sue someone if things go wrong, but this is a security hole. 
 My week off the Internet was successful. I only checked email once a day and read the news when my son said the president got shot in the ear.

 Never-ending. Now I see.

 Just like entering the same key into two different bitcoin wallets. 😁 
 Looking into buying a grinder and feeding my dog home-prepared foot. Any good resources out there? 
 I use an attachment on my wife's KitchenAid. It works fine for small amounts. 
 Seriously.👆 
 What do you think about Trump speaking at the BTC conference? 
 This election feels like American's are voting for the captain of a sinking ship.

Free Ross is better than lock up Samourai devs, but there's a 35 trillion dollar problem nobody seems to notice.

But hey...How about how about those golf scores? 
 You're not wrong.

 Okay, so where you guys buy none KYC domain names with #bitcoin ? 😁 
 That sucks.
