 Boycotting a great HWW like Coldcard because  of a dispute regarding a gimmick e-ink clock is sil... 
 You really shouldn't call other people's hard work a gimmick. Simp some more.  
 I don't think no anyone uses or ever said they were security devices... They're clocks.  
 The point is I don't want all those features. I just want a BTClock. And I don't want to spend a billion dollars on one either.

Here's a small framework I built from scratch. Complete with components/templating engine and themes. Use tailwind, HTMX, and hyperscript.

Only reposting views of people that agree with him. I'm not taking anyone's side here but a proper response would be much more enlightening to people buying your products looking to the CEO for a proper response to the issue. Maybe he's working on one as I make this note, but the current attitude of only reposting notes that agree with you and praise your product is not a good look in my book. Unprofessional really.  
 There is not enough information out there yet for me to make a reasonable opinion on the issue as a whole for me personally. 
 What I can say is I won't be buying anymore ColdCard products until more information is available.  
 A takedown notice to an open source competitor to the block clock.  
 If Frump is all that cool, why doesn't he reduce the capital gains tax on #btc?

🤔

#grownostr... 
 He has already discussed eliminating it completely  
 I wouldn't bother.  
 Yea, no way I'm looking for a serious relationship of something every happened to my wife. Till death do us part. After that, it's just fun and games until the Lord takes me.  
 Oh but I suppose the question is if I'm 20 again, and had never been married. I would be looking. Although I would have no idea where to begin and the dating scene is disgusting in this day and age. But I wouldn't give up. The meaning of life is reproducing and I wouldn't do that with anyone but a life long partner.  
 Still waiting on tab grouping in firefox...  
 TailsOS, but for phones. 
 Just buy a cheap thinkpad instead. It's more secure and cheaper than a phone.

 Is there a such thing as super glue that doesn't dry up after a week after you use it once? #asknostr  
 If you are a whole coiner, you could very well be a monarch one day. Plan accordingly.

 Even if you figure 5 million coins are lost, it's still only .00186

You wouldn't want to govern around 250k people? Lead a small group of people in the name of Christ? 
 You can be my court jester. I'll pay you a modest salary to weld on the side 😉 
 This assumes a globe of 29 thousand monarchies.  
 Not when the future is evenly distributed with Bitcoin. You're thinking in cantilion fiat terms. .0018 assumes only 29k hodlers as well. So if you stack is spread among your people, it's even less.  
 Whoops. I thought to myself it looked a little low. Bad on me for not double checking. Dumb AI.  
 I made an edit to address this but only amethyst users will see it 😭 
 You're just wrong about the distribution. Bitcoin has and will continue to more evenly distribute as time moves. It observably already does so. There is a fixed supply. Unlike fiat, wealth cannot be gained by being closer to the money printers. As NGU, you will spend at some point. It does no good just sitting there. Everyone has their price and I'm not selling any time soon but we see this every cycle. What do you think is happening with the big dips and crashes? It's spreading out. The number of unique wallets that hold over 1 BTC is now more than a million. Money is no good unless you can one day spend your hard earned savings on improving your life. If you have a whole coin and it goes to a million will you not consider buying a house or some land? Maybe starting a business to generate more income, create more jobs, etc.  
 Yea this.

 Set up a NIP5 so we know it's legit

But clearly this account isn't legit. Prove me wrong. 
 If they had a NIP5 at the guardian domain, it would verify the Guardian owned or sanctioned this account.  
 did u buy the dip below 90k? 
 I will tomorrow. Sold some MSTX to get some liquidity today at the top. Buying the dip tomorrow with it

 Believing Anarchism is a serious way to structure society the most juvenile world view.  
 Nothing will save you from work and pain. That's life. And I don't look to any form of government to fix that.  
 Not supporting anarchy is equal to endorsing theft? Got it. What a ridiculous statement.  
 It does not scale.  
 These economies will be crushed by bigger ones every time. You can have local small governments too. Small constitutional monarchies everywhere. Much more feasible than anarchism, which will get nothing done because the culture will never coordinate or agree on any large projects. You cannot think that far in the future with a society so fragmented.  
 I imagine a word where we have about as many monarchies as we have counties in the USA. But globally. Tax would be more voluntary with such small geographic landscapes. Freedom of movement exists. People will organize naturally. Those monarchies that opress their people will fall in short order.  
 A shared moral compass of your people, shared goals.  
 You know it's possible to have a government that doesn't steal.  
 People have freedom of movement. People will always have a natural organization of hierarchies. I stack sats so I can be the monarch. Or at least a noble.  
 The monarchs that opress their people will fall in short order due to their inability to compete in a free market.  
 I need said it was immoral. It's impractical. 
 I also never advocated any aggression towards peaceful individuals I don't agree with.  
 Yes representative democracy is pretty shit  
 I believe the same. If I were a monarch, I would declare God to be the King of my people and may I pray every day that he work through me. Emploring my people to never praise myself, but the one true God.  
 Anarchy lacks the ability to organize because of the lack of central authority.  
 No and I would tell my people the same.  
 I may be their king but I AM NOT their King.  
 Then that's not anarchy.  
 If you are not the center, then you have no authority.  
 If you lived in a constitutional monarchy, and you have the freedom to leave whenever you want, and the nearest alternate monarchy is 10-20 miles away, is that monarchies taxation still theft?  
 Why does it depend? If you don't want to play it, you're free to leave.  
 It's not that expensive to move if the closest alternate jurisdiction is 10-20 miles away. That's quite the cop out. And if you are truly opressed would you not move for your future generations, no matter the cost? 
 You mean companies? With CEOs? That would be the central authority.

 I also recommend mullvad. But also, I'm not as concerned with my online privacy. There is a large tradeoff with making connections with people in real life the more private you are. The government knows my location anyways... I have a license, own a home and pay taxes... 
 But my name also isn't OceaSlim... 😂 I have the right to selectively reveal myself.  
 Yes absolutely. Mullvad has DNS servers you can point to as well. 😉

 Also working on a fan cut of Peter Jackson's 2005 king Kong that cuts out all the crappy CGI scenes and attempts to get the movie down to under 2.5 hours.  
 PSA: If you're using grain 🌾 , Event purging does not work at the moment. Working on a fix right now. I should have something by tomorrow and will make a new release. 

Thanks for your patience!  
 “Gold is bitcoin that can’t be sent over the internet”

 And also has industrial use cases that Bitcoin doesn't have. Which makes Bitcoin the superior monetary asset.  
 Son just took his shoe off and threw it at his sister. Like he's Al-Qaeda or somethin. (He's only 1. He's been placed in solitary confinement as punishment (his pack and play)) 
 This is also what I pictured 🤣 
 Yes. He increased his sentence by continuing to throw a fit about it.

 No... No it's not.  
 Incredible. First one? 
 Congratulations man. You're about to enter into a new era of life. It will be the hardest thing you've ever done. You will have sleepless nights ahead. In the end it's worth more than anything else in the whole world. There is nothing like the miracle of birth. Bringing more humans into the world is what life is all about. If you have any questions or concerns, reach out. No one's an expert and we're all learning along the way, but I gotchu if you need someone to lean on. You've started the most important journey of your life. A true blessing.
