When Bitcoin becomes your unit of account, crappy-handwaving-Peter Schiff-quoting articles like this won't bother you in the least. Maybe Bitcoin drops for a while, but over the long term it's other assets that grind down against Bitcoin. https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2024/09/03/strap-in-september-fed-us-dollar-crisis-predicted-to-spark-total-collapse-and-a-critical-bitcoin-price-tipping-point/

One of my very favorite bitcoiners is @johnkvallis. Ultra generous w/ impeccable integrity. He stopped tweeting and NOSTRing months ago, and I really miss his podcast. Hoping he's happy & healthy and, if so, that he's working on something wonderful that justifies/explains his radio silence.

Great news! Your account and Dave Collum’s account are the top two I wanted to see on NOSTR. We’re now halfway there!

Hi Tim, I set aside this afternoon to getting zaps worked out. The first reading I did on the matter recommended Wallet of Satoshi for my Mac’s lightning wallet, but that app has been discontinued. So I signed up to the @npub1get…0nfm waiting list, and we’ll see how long that takes. If you know a quicker way to get zaps up and running on a Mac I’d love to hear it!

I think the main thing holding people back is that you need some broad acquaintance with a bunch of things to even gain a foothold toward understanding BTC. This includes: fiat creation, treasury debt, Keynesian & Austrian economics, coding, & public key encryption.
I was lucky enough to have at least some understanding of all these things before I saw Andreas Antonopoulos appear on the Joe Rogan Experience, so I was able to connect the dots immediately.

Buy exactly one bitcoin. Go to sleep for a decade. When you wake up you’ll still have exactly one bitcoin—while practically every other asset has been manipulated in all sorts of arbitrary and unpredictable ways.

A related piece of advice: If you partner with a known cheat (collaborating on a project, appearing on their podcast, whatever) because they can help you in the short-term, some of your long-term allies that have been cheated by that person will abandon you. You likely won’t be informed why these key people have dropped out of your life and will no longer assist your work.

I’m on here largely because you and @npub1s05…eyhe have glowingly praised NOSTR in your podcasts. There’s so much potential here but it’s so hard to gain traction. And I suspect it’s about 100x more difficult for a pleb to interact meaningfully on NOSTR. I’ve been persistently on here almost every day but I often feel like I’m shouting into the void.

2024-07-31 10:33:00

Ethereum’s a tapeworm and I can’t wait until it finally dies. Bitcoin would be so much further along towards world domination if it weren’t for Vitalik and those other grifters.

We all need to do our part to fight against shitty algorithms, and the publishers who’ll sink to any depth to take advantage. Whenever I see a headline like “This Asian city has just been named the #1 place for digital nomads,” or “Why Lindsay Buckingham hated this band member,” I always block that news source. Publishers who embrace enshittification of the Internet deserve to be shunned, even if their actual content is worthwhile.

After Google vaporized its Podcasts app I switched to using Spotify as my app player. What a piece of junk!
So I just switched again to @fountain_app and it's vastly better than either. Since I'm repopulating my podcast feed, what's a superb #bitcoin podcast that deserves more love?

I’m super grateful for all your ground-breaking work. In addition to promoting NOSTR & Primal to my friends I hope to find more ways to contribute.

Check it out: I found somebody yesterday willing to sell me an ENTIRE bitcoin for less than $55,000. Could you imagine anyone making such a huge mistake? What luck!

I listened to this conversation on a long bus ride and thought Amy made some valuable points. Increasingly, I think we’ll see experts who specialize in real estate, gold, bonds, etc. have insightful things to say about Bitcoin. Not so long ago, none of them had a clue and they’d consistently talk about blockchain or shitcoins if asked about Bitcoin.

2024-05-12 15:31:54

Time and again, Bitcoin skyrockets against failing currencies.

Don't let the fact that Jeff Booth leans toward understatement rather than hyperbole keep you from recognizing that he's four steps ahead of most of us. Nowhere is this clearer than in the layer 2 discussion in the second half this Stephan Livera podcast. https://stephanlivera.com/episode/568/

This CoffeeandaMike episode featuring k9_reaper | /T.I.A, who runs security patrols in South Africa, ranks among the most interesting and actionable podcasts I've heard all year. It's wise to reflect and start acting *before* the SHTF! https://www.podbean.com/media/share/dir-kcdvt-1e634b7a

Lionel Shriver's novel _The Mandibles_ is just $1.99 right now on Kindle and iBooks. I read it because Matt Odell wouldn't stop talking about it. The book merits every bit of his praise.

Guessing the future price of Bitcoin is like guessing the number of jellybeans in a jar—a pointless exercise.
My sense is that if you're planning to retire in ten or more years, owning 0.1 BTC will make the difference between a financially rocky retirement and a comfortable one.

If Apple wants their next 10x in market cap it'll far more reliably come from "it just works" Bitcoin integration than from the Vision Pro or whatever that friggin' $3500 thing is called (and who in their right mind would order the minimally spec'ed $3500 version?!?)

Madoff was as clear a Ponzi as you'll ever find, yet victims had 70 percent of their stolen funds returned.
Contrast that to shitcoins, where "investors" often lose 100 percent with zero chance of recovering any of it. They'd have been better off with Madoff!
