npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I'm sure they all change me in some respect, but two recent books come to mind that have changed my perspective on life somewhat * How to Know a Person - David Brooks (becoming better at understanding people and relationships) * Four Thousand Weeks - Oliver Burkeman (time is the most scarce resource) npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Great post. It's cool to hear a bit about your work. You've worked hard for your money and deserve to keep it in something that won't inflate away. Holding bitcoin is not extractive, it's preservative. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Iāve purchased two paintings from @npub17ndā¦950x. Amazing art and heās a pleasure to work with. #note15xgā¦z0wq npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I did too. The natural position for mine. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben The clockās ticking Iām just counting the hours npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Every song is great on that album. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben @npub1zeqā¦m6xm from coinkite has offered this in group chats that Iām in with him. I donāt know how active he is on nostr. I can dm you his telegram handle if you want. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I definitely recommend it. However I understand the difficulty if you have a long history and a big following on the platform. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Brisket smoking in progress here. Happy Victoria Day from London, ON! šØš¦ npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben When youāre losing weight, the excess fat is metabolized. The primary metabolites are CO2 and water. A lot of this is breathed out. Using this model, it may be helpful think ākeep moving, keep breathingā if youāre on a weight loss journey. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Itās funny that his second book was about managing distractions. Selling bullets and body armour. https://m.primal.net/IHmx.jpg npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Another @npub17ndā¦950x original to add to the collection.

If fees go back down to single digit sat/vB it means thereās less incentive to build. The first 15 years of bitcoin was like the first couple hundred years of America; space was essentially free for anyone to take it. Now we need to figure out how to build with each other. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I like landscape art and I really like his style. Also, I can buy it with bitcoin. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Iām happy to recommend @npub17ndā¦950x to anyone! One painting has arrived and another is on the way. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Satoshi is everyone npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben The tx is in block 840,000 š

There are a lot of things to distract you on this pursuit. Donāt let them. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Thanks, that's helpful. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben The term ācontent creatorā seems like such an insult to me. And yet, many identify with it. āCreatorā is great but ācontentā means commodity. āLook, we got this big black box. We must dump in whatever we can.ā Create more content to feed the ravenous algorithm. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Have you used Liana or Casa? I'm looking into both. I have a decent tech knowledge but can't say the same for my descendants. I'd like an inheritance setup that's fairly user-friendly (at least better than the encrypted text file I have now). npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Can somedan please explain to me whatās going on? npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Yes. No Country for Old Men is a favourite. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben āBy a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of its citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate *arbitrarily*; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some.ā - John Maynard Keynes Via @npub1a2cā¦w83a's excellent book āBroken Moneyā. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I think ecash might be the next version of zaps. It neatly gets around the need to have a receiver node always running. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Do you have a sauna in your house or outside? Iāve been thinking about getting/building one. Let me know if you have any recommendations. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben My kids are a part of me that I didnāt know I had until they came into this world. Thatās the best way I can describe the feeling of being a parent, at least for now. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Shoot sorry I guess someone else clicked the link first. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I got you. https://econ.st/4cnARsF npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben No weāre trying to be normal here.

It reminds me of a little thing I wrote a couple years ago. Living a good life is how we leave a legacy. https://wiremodal.net/how-to-live-forever npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Calle has spoken. Make it so. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Yeah that would be great. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Iām using a @npub1vr2ā¦dzvx Data.Plus eSIM for the first time. Works great for a Canadian visiting the USA. Highly recommended. No KYC, pay with #bitcoin. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Very nice! Welcome! I love my original painting from @npub17ndā¦950x npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben No problem! I grew up in the gta, now live down the road in London. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I believe the only potential identifying information would be the IP address where the invoice is generated. Thus better privacy for the sender than the recipient. Hereās a pretty good article that summarizes lightning privacy and the various ways one can try to figure out who paid whom. https://voltage.cloud/blog/lightning-network-faq/lightning-network-privacy-explainer/ npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Alby is a custodial wallet so they can very easily see when one npub zaps another npub. Not very private. Also, zaps are usually published as nostr events so that clients can show the zap tally. Again, not private. If you want to send someone BTC privately via nostr, better to DM some ecash (look up eNuts, Minibits apps, both using Cashu protocol). Still custodial but private. Typical lightning payments (where a user generates an invoice and another user pays it) are pretty good for privacy, especially for the sender (I believe). Others can correct me here. As an aside, based your profile pic you may be based in Toronto. If so, hit up @npub1826ā¦7t95 for a torontoplebs.ca NIP-05 verification handle. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Welcome šā”ļø npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Iāve heard #bitcoin described as boxes, each with a key (or keys) to allow the owner to transfer or repack the contents. I think this analogy is pretty good, but Iād add another critical piece which is location. Imagining Bitcoin as boxes immediately leads one to think of a vault of deposit boxes at a bank. Itās better to think of the boxes as distributed throughout the universe. There are 2^256 (10^77) possible private keys, about the same number as atoms in the universe. Itās amazing to think that one can effectively stash their wealth in the combinatoric equivalent of a single atom in our vast universe. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Wow, I didnāt know that you only speak Italian. Your translator is very good! npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben š« npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben The main lesson here is that goldbugs are better at self custody. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Party on npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben It seems like #ecash is the ideal way to leave an offline bitcoin tip. Already I can print out the token QR and hand it to someone. Ideally, there would be a way to convert the #cashu token ID to something easily readable and writable like a short string of words. I could then mint ecash, print the words on small cards and then pass them out at restaurants, cafes, etc. The tip could even be simply written on the bottom of the bill. I have no technical understanding of how the token ID is derived, so no idea if this is possible. Just putting it out there. @npub12rvā¦85vg npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Thanks!

Thank you! npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Can you clarify what you mean by that? Do you mean I should be comfortable setting up my own multisig before exploring these options? npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Thanks. My needs are fairly basic but Iām interested in an inheritance package. Sounds like unchained could be a good option. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Anyone have experience with Casa, Unchained, (other?) guided multisig solutions? #asknostr npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Just received my painting from @npub17ndā¦950x paid in sats.
