I zapped bc it took considerable thought and time for you to draft/post this note. Thank you for sharing. It's left me with much to ponder during my next walk, also to think before zapping. How zaps ultimately influence the NOSTR environment/Experience.
Thanks.

I'm compelled to acknowledge and thank you for the sound session last night. Was up working until about 1am. But I had this plugged into Sonos and felt like I was hanging out with about a dozen friends in the office getting isht done!

Nostriches,
#Node number 2 is all suncqed up.
Going to catch up on the chores (in the rain) then get into some #lightning and node tinkering stuffs.
If you dont here from me in 24 hours, contact the #bitcoin ceo/coo and let them know I may have broken their moneys.
✌️🤘

2023-04-29 09:49:17 GMT

My second node should be fully synced. I will know in a few hours.
If this is the case, I will either learn lightning node management, break my nodes, lose some sats or all of the above.
I'm ok with all of that.
More to come on this! 😐 🐕 👨🏿‍💻

So the folks at #Gemini are doing maintenance during business hours?! 😳
I was able to buy some BTC an hour ago.
But I can't take custody.

Sat stacking Trade-offs;
You can buy BTC, non kyc at a premium peer to peer
Or
You can buy BTC, kyc where they have a lock out period.
These lock out periods vary from 10 - 30 days depending on your specific situation and exchange.
I just paused all kyc dca bc I have more sats on exchanges then I am comfortable having.
So for the next 30 days only buying non kyc sats.
Or at least until all current sats have been unlocked for self custody.

Have been supporting my mom with it for 6 months now. She doesn't even know it.
She has a card, she uses it just like any card. But I get to fill it up for her every month using BTC.
There is a 3rd party involved though. So, I can improve this a little bit with some training next time I'm in FL.

2023-04-26 12:07:07 GMT

A few words/terms in the BTC community which I don't personally care for:
Orange pilled. I've used it before but it didn't sit right in my gut.
Pleb. Didn't know what it was until i was 👆🟠💊
Shitcoin. I get it and why it came to be. But again, doesn't sit right with me.
With all that said, to each their own. Words are just words. Make of it what you will.
Random morning brain things.
Good morning all!

Writers occasionally experience writers block.
I'm currently experiencing an innovation block. In the past, typically resolved by taking a 3 week cross country trip on the motorcycle.
Not an option right due to family obligations. Well, not an option until September'ish.

I had to look this up.
When I bought my first Bitcoin.
But Bitcoin didn't make sense or matter to me until about 2 years ago. So I think I would put myself in the class of 2021.

Step 3 of #BeYourOwnBank
As mentioned in my earlier note, I am on step 3, but simultaneously continuing with steps 1&2.
A - set up your own Bitcoin node(s).
B - open channels to businesses you patronize regularly. Try to make these business that accept Bitcoin. I.e. coffee shop, landlord, local farm, the dog sitter, housekeeper, etc.
Review your monthly recurring expenses and find alternatives that accept Bitcoin. This may take months or years depending on your specific situation. It all depends on how urgent of a goal you make of it.
Having no mortgage or car payments, makes this easier as those are usually the largest recurring expenses. But it took some years to get here.
C - turning up a second node might be useful as a training tool. I am trying this out now. More to come with my progress on that front.
D - follow and connect with experienced node operators on NOSTR and Telegram. Hence why I am here. Well that and the memes. Nostr has some of the best memes in all media.
I had a couple private sessions with Ben from BTC Sessions. This was hugely helpful in getting me started with basic mechanics of managing a node. Most of the information you need is available for free on his channel. But if your time is limited (which mine is) the private session is a quick and dirty way to learn what you need in relative short order.
In short, the objective at step 3 is opening channels to businesses and individuals that you have monthly recurring payments to. If one of these business will not accept BTC. Make note and do some research to find alternatives that do accept BTC or are open to learning about it.
The node and channels will essentially be used similarly to your checking account.
Your node shouldnt have more then 2 months expenses. The bulk of your BTC should be managed with a hard wallet (think of it as a vault).
To the experienced node operators, I welcome your feed back on these steps so far.
Below is a rando picture of a path to one of my favorite hiding places and has absolutely nothing to do with this note. 😶

it wasn't the first channelI used, but it's the one I've used the longest. While I verify content against other sources, this one has become a comfortable source of truth for me on this front!!

2023-04-17 11:21:43 GMT

Step 2:
Establish system to self custody btc accumalated every 5-10 days. Lock up periods vary by company/exchange.
This only applies if you were/are buying via 3rd party broker. If you acquire peer to oeer as intended, great for you. Im at that point now, but in the begining it was gemini, coinbase, ftx, strike, celcius.
I lost about 5 days of buys on ftx when it folded and 3 days on celcius when it folded.
Not good, but could have been worse.
I now do more peer to oeer then via 3rd party broker.
Repeat steps 1 & 2 for 4 years.
I use the content on this channel to learn what i know. 👇👇👇
Stay tuned for step 3...which is where i am presently. Trying ro figuren 'ish out with minimal costly mistakes.

Step 1: Buy bitcoin everyday. Small amounts so that you don’t miss it and will not be squeezed to sell.
I.e. <5% of monthly rev/inc
