After the update 5 days or so ago, Mutiny wallet is giving me the error:
Error: Incorrect expected network.
Have tried "deleting everything" and restoring. Same result.

Instead of consolidating smaller UTXOs from KYC exchange sources, why not just reuse an address for transfers from the same KYC source? You end up with a single larger UTXO, and no privacy is lost since each transfer is identically doxxed anyway.
Any objections?

I'm more interested in redemptions - cash or in-kind. Cash redemption allows games to be played with naked shorts. In-kind redemption enforces the underlying scarcity.

Yes, lending bitcoin will be disincentivized because since there's no supply of new bitcoin, eventual defaults are mathematically assured.
Instead of lending rates, perhaps there will be fluctuating rates of equity-for-capital. That is, the purchasing power of bitcoin will increase with greater general productivity growth, and will decrease with lower productivity growth. As a bitcoin holder, if general productivity growth is slow or negative, you'd be incentivized to accept less equity in a business per unit of bitcoin buy-in. If productivity is growing quickly, you'd demand more business equity in exchange for your fast-deflating bitcoin capital.
Makes intuitive sense: if there isn't much innovation or population growth happening, then it will become cheaper to get capital in exchange for equity. A naturally competitive dynamic.

You need an LN address. To have an LN address, you need an always-on lightning node. You can do this yourself if you have the ability, or use something like getalby.com, for example. Then you put your LN address into your nostr profile.
For dealing with your sats, you can use the getalby web interface, or connect a lightning wallet to it, such as Zeus.

Bitcoin really doesn't belong in an investment portfolio, as it's a one-of-a-kind savings vehicle. It doesn't represent a lending yield like a bond, nor a profit yield like a business. Its only "investment" aspect is the speculation that it will suck up the monetary premium of all securities and hard assets, and thus have much more purchasing power in the future than it does now. As gigantic and transformative as that is, this is still a one-time speculatory thesis. IMHO it shouldn't be tracked alongside actual investments (business ownership and lending.)
I prefer to not frame it as an investment at all, from the get-go. I guide people directly to self custody, and let the flowers blossom.

"The vast majority of speculators, who buy when prices are elevated and sell when the markets falls, do not feel nervous and fearful upon acting; they feel relieved. They do not know they have actually increased their chances of losing or reduced their chances of gaining because unconsciously they have acted to reduce the discomforting feeling of missing out on gains or risking losses. Because their risk actually increases by both sets of actions, we may confidently conclude that such behavior is non-rational.
If you want to meet speculators who consciously take on risk, seek out the few who buy when others are panicking or sell short when the crowd is giddy. On taking the action, they will be nervous if not downright fearful, because the conscious portion of their minds understands they are taking on risk, and the unconscious portion is screaming not to do it."

We need a way to see the feed from a single relay, without changing the client's general relay configuration. This would allow participation in niche, closed communities, while still having global.

#[0] any plans to maintain a deeper cache of notes and events? I.e. farther back in time. For instance, if I search "Snowden" I get nothing, I assume because he hasn't posted in a while.
Or is it more appropriate for relays to govern stuff like this?
Also, shouldn't a search, at a minimum, be searching all follow and followers profiles?
