You could tactfully let him know that financial/regulatory landscape for ETH isn’t yet certain in terms of security/commodity. This will add additional unknown risk factors to the price volatility risk he is already exposed to.

If his goal to hold them is for the long term (the best play to balance out short term price volatility) then maybe he should consider Bitcoin as the safe hedge against an uncertain backdrop. Likely he is still very exposed to uncertainty of the fiat system and ETH just is a proxy for that rather than hedge against.

Also send him a good nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m video or two that you think he will watch. Being a business owner he may well appreciate the logic behind MSTR holding BTC on their balance sheet outside of operating costs.

Yep, always tough being patient with folks who outright reject the notion of learning more and buying while it was cheap. Still, we all get the price we deserve, and a lot of us will have had our first interaction start with a dismissal.


I will NOT stand idly by while a power grab, for which the prize is my family and friends’ future, takes place.

I will NOT concede that the governance of a people is best achieved through coercion and control, or should be shaped by fear.

I will NOT accept that governments, and in particular central banks, can propose that they are not subject to the laws of physics.

I WILL opt-out of this madness and select an alternative path.

Super slick and very user friendly, great work nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 , seriously bravo! 👏


Doing satoshi’s work, one person at a time!


I very much hope you are right!


Fair question. What is the likelihood that most of the world finance serves at the pleasure of the US market?


Starting to wonder if the new FinCEN rules and the ETF timing may be more closely linked than initially expected.

1. Pull up the drawbridges and make transactions using the base assets difficult for everyday folks.

2. Usher folks into the new safe approved ETF version.

3. Play the old state-captured gold games with Bitcoin. Price is whatever they want it to be.


Had an absolute blast at #PlanB Lugano. Off into the mountains currently hiking with my long suffering wife, made this conference a holiday (would have been rude not to).

Highlights:
- Miniscript presentation and the simplicity of abstractions
- Asset issuance on Liquid panel (ready for capital markets, watch this space)
- Chatting briefly to Adam Back and having him tell us the price was pumping (it isn’t about the price nostr:npub1qg8j6gdwpxlntlxlkew7eu283wzx7hmj32esch42hntdpqdgrslqv024kw 😉)
- Paying for coffee at a local cafe with Bitcoin and the staff not looking puzzled/confused or being unable to use the PoS. It was just like another day for them #winning
- Finally shaking nostr:npub1lr2zzf989mvf393y0tv39ara6a4vddkd6y87z784up9vl6ks6j3qtudl6a ‘s hand, we thank you for all of your service sir
- Meeting nostr:npub10vlhsqm4qar0g42p8g3plqyktmktd8hnprew45w638xzezgja95qapsp42 and thanking him for #ProgrammingBitcoin
- Sneaking a selfie with Max Keiser
- Hearing all of the bullish stories about how Bitcoin is being leveraged globally to enact real change

Great work to the PlanB team and to the plebs who all made it awesome!! https://image.nostr.build/a74e6801e1b2c35ca7eab7ad3421ec67b07c8f3e5f340c598df5fc0f6cd77b25.jpg


Much appreciated


Got a bit more info? Not sure about clicking a random link. How do we know your account hasn’t been hacked by the suits?


This is the way!


Massive congrats! 🥳


GM sir, looking forward to this weeks recap.


Ouch…fair play


Hold my beer….!


Morning chap. What happened to the weekly [dot]Review? Missed it over the weekend, it is my go-to for getting a quick roundup on the “nothing to see over here”  dev-chat.


I wonder, does this risk spilling over to GitHub? If Craig goes after GitHub for sharing the content with folks from the UK.


Peak Fiat decision making


Don’t the dots represent things on fire for the most part (except where local)? Maybe just near the dots would be best.


Please, tell us what you really think of us.

Literally speaking the words the FED wishes it could.

Stay humble, stack sats and direct folks to the lifeboat in an orderly fashion…

Feel like it would be good to have a security  ‘best practices’ out there for noobs with nostr. Given that the space is so new there are a lot of frayed edges currently. I’m not sure everyone is aware of the potential risks at this stage (self included).


Why not just look at joining a mix (whirlpool/coinjoin) together. Sparrow wallet offers this.
