Interesting. So with a big global finamcial crash, liquidity will evaporate and the price of bitcoin will probably plummet temporarily?

Very interesting take. UBI will probably be inevitable with exponentially growing AI and the massive number of people who lose their jobs.

Very true. I like telling people that they have to work twice for their money to info them: once to earn it and rhe second time to make sure the value doesn't lose too much purchasing power.

I agree and would love to, unfortunately a lot of Bitcoin communities are on Telegram with no alternative like e.g. Simplex.

I recommend Blue Wallet and Green Wallet for beginners. Blue Wallet is much simpler than Green wallet, so I recommend that one.
A few days ago I gave my first Bitcoin Workshop for Beginners to 11 people and we used Blue Wallet. I sent each person bitcoin on-chain but Blue Wallet crashed each time using the batch function. Then I tried to send each person individually, but it gave me an error about a fee rste I never saw before.. After that I sent it with Relai without issues.
I very much like Sparrow Wallet, but that is on a desktop, which is where most people do everything with and is less secure than a mobile wallet I guess.
Any suggestions for sending bitcoin to participants?

I had 2 requests from people wanting to sell, but weren't aware of the halving, even though I already mentioned it. I adviced against this, if it's possible for them not to sell now and luckily they postponed it for now.

I didn't know you are living on a Bitcoin stsndard. Kuddos! Who cares if you're not 100% on Nostr? It seems logic to not jeopardize your income stream by going 100% on Nostr. It would be great though if more content was added on Nostr.
Love your work btw.

2024-04-14 23:57:49

I had 2 friends contacting me how to sell their bitcoin. I told them that the halving is in a few days and it's probably better to wait, if possible.
I think in-person selling beats p2p selling, because there's no risk of a bank flagging your transaction as suspicious and freezing your bank account.

What if we rename all the bitcoin wallets and remove wallet from it, don't call it a wallet, because they're also not a wallet. A wallet for politicians means actually holding it, while no such thimg exists.

Today I learned that you can double spend an unconfirmed transacton.
I heard a story of a person who's laptop got encrypted with ransomware and had to pay 0.05 BTC to get the key to decrypt it and gain access to his laptop. The police with experts were brought in. They paid the bitcoin, when the mempool was very busy, but they used a very low fee. The attackers saw the unconfirmed transaction and sent the key to decrypt the laptop. When they received the key, they created a new transaction with higher fees to their own address.
Never trust a zero confirmation transaction.

With using Bitcoin as a public payment infrastructure, you can be certain your savings are secured, are always accessible and your labour and time spent are stored and the value will appreciate over time. You can plan for the future.
When storing your savings with a public payments infrastructure from a bank:
- your savings are not always accessible
- will you get all your savings when the bank fails, during an economic crisis or a cyber attack?
- your savings are invested by the bank
- the value of your savings decrease over time
- your savings in the bank isn't real money
- there's a lot of uncertainty which makes planning for the future very difficult
