@miljan & @preston have a great chat about Nostr, Primal, free speech and corruption between corporations and politicians.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes - was a movie the whole family enjoyed.
Made me think of how we should all want a slow and gradual move from the fiat system to a Bitcoin standard.

The sad truth is that 90%+ of the population will trade privacy for convenience until they’re forced to change when their liberty and property rights are stripped from them.

Did a little circular Bitcoin medium of exchange experiment for back to school supplies.
Bought $200 of Target gift cards which cost 691,870 Sats and gave 3.2% back (22,092 Sats) using @npub18tc…2nxx
Immediately bought $200 on @npub1xke…d0en for 679,735 Sats (River has 1.2% fee).
679,735 + 22,092 = 701,827 Sats - 691,870 means +9,957 net additional Sats for me.
Network/gas fees included in the figures above, but it was all done over Lightning ⚡️

Cool experiment! Thanks for reaching out on Orange Pill.

I remember putting down a deposit on the Ubuntu phone about ten years ago. Didn’t reach the goal so it didn’t happen, but liked the idea.

Binance is the 💩 in the 🚽 that takes a few flushes, but eventually will go down the drain.

What if BlackRock is filing for the ETF to get some hype around Bitcoin price so they can profit from their stock proxies? If that happens, they win. If the ETF is approved, they win. Good risk/reward move.

First post from my own Nostr server!

2023-06-09 20:23:34

What’s your favorite node OS and why? I’m wanting to run core, LN and Nostr relay. Have 2TB SSD with Intel CPU. Trying to decide between Embassy, MyNode and Umbrel.

Glad we have Nostr! The legacy Socials and Advertising businesses will be heavily disrupted by decentralized software and Bitcoin.

Why are Biden, Warren and others are “anti-crypto” and “raising an anti-crypto army”? Their campaign donation faucet from Scam Bankster-Fraud was shut off. Trying to create distance from their fiscal policy & regulatory failures.

I like to look at who the people I follow are following as a way to get started.

What’s the best non-custodial way to get a LN url on Nostr for people that are new to Bitcoin, but are concerned about self custody vs. custodial?
Hard to get older family and friends that aren’t very technical to run a node.

2023-05-08 17:18:40

I love it when stocks fluctuate with the USD price of Bitcoin and not using on-chain data. Discount shopping is fun!

2023-05-08 17:17:04

I suspect these BRC20 Ordinals are incentivized by miners - especially the old proof of work Ethereum miners. Thoughts?

My teenager took an interest in money and Bitcoin today! My podcasts on the way to & from school are finally working 😄
We had a great in-depth talk about money, government, social media, mental illness, etc.
If you have a teenager then you know how big a deal that is!

Going in for another leg procedure (right leg this time), but this time with a Valium to make it a bit more manageable.

Happy birthday to all the new adults turning 18. Things are twice as expensive today as the year you were born.
Don’t forget this when choosing how to save your purchasing power from your next paycheck.

Fear over CBDC's is warranted (programmable slavery units), but with most dollars today already being digital, I wonder why there isn't more outrage over State fiat money in the first place...fortunately, private property/money without counterparty risk exists with #Bitcoin

This is great if it passes. HSA will come in handy when the government is smaller and can’t afford social programs.

It is good to have goals. #StackSats
Bitcoin Stacking Goals (Sats)
First goal is population share of supply to get off zero: 265,000
Satoshi millionaire: 1,000,000
Satoshi ten-million club: 10,000,000
Whole coiner: 100,000,000
One ten-millionth of supply: 210,000,000
Whole coiner for every member of your household: varies
Satoshi billionaire: 1,000,000,000
One millionth of supply: 21,000,000,000
…after that you’re in don’t need to worry about money ever again territory 😂

2023-03-23 00:21:47

57 days until the Bitcoin Conference and we get a nice dip in price 😂

2023-03-22 03:49:16

Hit my 2023 stacking goal! 🧡⚡️
Now for new goals 😃

Price doesn’t matter unless you are trading back to the monetary unit you’re escaping from. It’d be like going back to the abusive ex-partner when you have found your soulmate.

2023-03-21 00:59:38

I predict we will be talking about $100K Bitcoin now like we do $20-$30K by 2028. May see $1M around 90 months from now, but 90 days is ridiculous.

2023-03-14 14:36:05

Glad I stacked some Sats with Fold gift cards last night before this price rally 😁

2023-03-14 03:12:58

Decided to peruse Twitter Spaces tonight… what a bunch of lost so called “economic experts”… we have a lot of teaching to do.

Would love for Daylight Savings to be permanent. I like more daylight in the evenings, but the back & forth between Standard and DST is unnecessary.

Expect them to say that. They want unemployed Silicon Valley developers for their CBDC in 🤡🌍

First bank to offer Lightning Network lightning ⚡️ payments. Zelle will be a Zune-like reminder of a bygone era one day. Perhaps our children can say the same for fractional reserve banks too.

Nostr is great for following Bitcoiners, but the general feed lacks diversity for now.

2023-02-17 02:26:32

Most things are scams. Legislation makes it legal. Regulators and courts are the enforcers. Things that color outside the lines only do so because lawmakers (and their backers) haven't found a way to benefit off of it enough to make it legal yet.
