 Bitcoin is not money (say some Bitcoiners), but Russia will use it to evade international sanctio... 
 Every bitcoin transaction on the timechsin uses sats as unit of account. That looks like money to me. 
 Damn it. I think I accidently rug-pulled myself oit of 369,000 sats.🤮 
 Testing breez greenlight. The payment worked, but I have no idea where it went. I think I screwed something up. 
 Nevermind. I changed the settings and it ended up in another wallet. Oops.

 What software did you use to set this up? 
 Thanks. 
 What’s the best way to buy non-kyc?  #asknostr 
 On my opinion, Robosats is the easiest way to get KYC free sats. 
 Upgrade complete.

Can I ask for a small zap test? nostr:note14zp5aq2w4fff8f8rxq46lzp58apzw33hn7j...

 How did Snopp  Doggy Dog go from "...187 on an undercover cop..." to Team USA Olympics ambassador? 
 It's cool, but it makes me feel old. 😊 
 My 15 year old son told me he's into the classics like, Nirvana. 80's must be Oldies but Goodies. 
 Coincidentally,  I recently found this book recommendation a napkin. Someone told me about it at a bitcoin meetup. 
 I've done the math. That doesn't mean I like the results.😭 
 How is the Netflix app so good? Its always very responsive. unlike any other streaming app/site.

 I don't watch much TV, but my wife likes Jellyfin better now because she likes to shuffle episodes of Friends.

 What do you mean by non-bitcoiner? 
 I'm just curious. I won't try to convince you. 
 Thanks. 
 Does address reuse on #Liquid degrade privacy in the same way it does with mainnet #bitcoin?

#asknostr 
 Thanks. 
 It must be said bitcoiners tend to be quite trustworthy, friendly and reliable. I'd quite like a ... 
 Build a relationship with a local bike shop. Ask if they would accept bitcoin. I can help set up BTCpayServer for them. They can instanlty convert it to fiat if they want, but that's not a good idea. 
 Watching Bitconned 🍿 
 It was okay. 
 This was the one about some imaginary ponzi coin offering, right? 

They got people to invest in some "CrYpTo" that didn't even exist like bigfoot coin or something like that. 
 Just sold my first Rolex. Been sentimental about it for years but because of #Bitcoin and Stoicis... 
 I always wanted a Rolex until I could finally afford one. 

I came to the conclusion that time is the most valuable thing in the world, not time. 
 The Breez plugin on BTCpayServer is

 That's pretty cool.

 At least a shotgun is cool.

I spent tens of millions of sats on Diet Mountain Dew.😭 
 People were pissed off about the 1 trillion dollar TARP Great Financial Crisis bailout. 

15 years later, the United States borrows a TARP sized bailout every 100 days, the politicians talk about nonsense like golf or cat ladies or whatever.

This is a disaster.  
 The USA is not gonna but 1 million coins 

Stop it stop it 

Usa is the slave Plantation the plan... 
 You got my vote. 
 I would like to have a prepaid credit card that has a bolt 12 QR code on the back.

I pay $1.25 to the bolt 12 QR code. Those sats get converted to fiat at the speed of light.

I spend $1.25 at the Dollar Tree.

Is that a thing yet? 
#bitcoin

 
 I used shift back in the day. Is that what you mean? I haven't used coinbase in like 7 years. 
 How do we ensure a #bitcoin strategic reserve does not mean Executive Order 6102.btc?

#asknostr
 
 I really think Coinbase sucks so much 
 Coinbase sells bitcoin and snake oil. 
 #Bitcoin is not for governments. 
 I don't understand how governments can own bitcoin. Maybe 5 people who work for the government can own bitcoin, but I don't consider this government ownership. 
 it’s pretty crazy that we have a button that just makes us throw up.

what a survival mechanism. 
 Never thought of it this way, but it makes sense. 
 "curfew enforcement" in #Venezuela 😢

 This is terrible.  
 I took my brother to the ER today and tried to buy a cup of coffee at the cafeteria. They wouldn't allow me to buy a cup of coffee without making a copy of my driver's license.

 How did we get here? 
 I throw my mail in ballot in the trash now because the people I vote for never win anyway. 
 Tails is pretty cool, but I would only use it with  multisig. Even then, it's a good idea to take out the hard drive and Wi-Fi out of the laptop beforehand. 
 I had a lot of time on my hands in 2020 so I grocked this.

Now that I think of it, bitcoin is 10x more expensive.
