Last Notes npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe When will you finally realize that this is the same as talking about the sunrise and sunet every day. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe They just want to custody your bitcoin and get loans against it, don't fall for this fiat bait scam. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe People should always ask, whose democracy. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe The government or the EU parlament can not make any laws for individuals, only for businesses. Natural law is the only law. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe So true, anyone who looks only at the fiat denominated price doesn't understand bitcoin and only thinks it's an investment or stock with a exit price. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe "while exclaiming, it's not my fault, it's my genes". Brilliant npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Replaced like 20 bulbs in my home with inconsistent bulbs, never looking back. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe If they could control the internet they would have done it a long time ago, nothingburger. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe The old movie Idiocracy is turning out to be a documentary for the future od the U.S. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe "invest", they still think it's a stock 🤣 npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe One party crates chaos so the new party can fix those things by ignoring other things. And around in circles we go. So who gives a shit. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Didn't he say that everyone will lose their jobs to ai and that his graphic cards will help do this, like a few months ago? npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Damn right, say no to garbage food for good! npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe How is giving btc to banks that will do who knows what shenanigans with it a good thing? npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe One administration does compete damage and the next one fixes it, and around in circles we go... npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe For a second you got me there because the EU could actually propose this 😂 npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe They assassinated the files npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe They have no idea how hard it will be to incentivize people to use the "digital" euro. It took people 10-20 years to adopt cards. The only way to make people use it will be by force, and we all know how that will turn out. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe The whole system is pure control, otherwise why would they take the same money away from us that they created from thin air in the first place. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Eventually they will convert bank money to cbdcs so people won't have a choice anymore. But you can always buy real things with it and sell it for bitcoin. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe People are nations, she refers to governments which is a good thing. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe The church behaved the same whey before they fell into irrelevance. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe For politicians hyper inflation is a non issue, for them it's all just a number they can easily adjust. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Maybe people should spend less time guessing what LLMs will or could do in the future and more time understanding how LLMs work, then people will come to the realization that LLMs are not real AI, are not smart, have no clue what is right or wrong, have a hard time answering anything that a junior could find in a manual. Wake up people. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Countries exist because of their people; governments are just things people created and have no real power on their own. World groups that nobody voted for can only push governments, which control companies that try to shape what people do. But in the end, the only real power comes from what the people together decide they want npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Countries exist because of their people; governments are just things people created and have no real power on their own. World agencies that nobody voted for can only push governments, which control companies that try to shape what people do. But in the end, the only real power comes from what the people together decide they want. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Thank you for being a true bitcoiner, not one of the many wannabes who claim to be part of the community but are actually fiat NGU maxis at heart! npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Yea bud, it's tough being a gambler, just don't do it. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe I actually agree with him on the title, real bitcoiners don't beg for sTrAtEgIc rEsErVeS or applaud central banks buying it. They need bitcoin, bitcoin does not need them. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Aqua, Alby Go with phoenixd backend. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Who cares, just use p2p only. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe But who gonna pay for the roads? npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe I think I clicked on some link on the bottom of the page and got the process working. But this could be a big hurdle for plebs. Please work on it. You have a great service and embody the bitcoin ethos! npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe That chicken looks weird, the color is so pale and not yellow/orange npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Only these guns 💪 npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe This actually makes total sense, measuring growth in increased energy production, thank you for the 💡 npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Here we go, another "sTrAtEgIc rEsErVe" beggar... npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Thank you for being a real bitcoiner with a brain and not being another "sTrAtEgIc rEsErVe" beggar. We don't need them! npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Great idea! npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe I can't get to the verification process. For days now I am getting : Oopsie The server is having some problems. Try again later npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe YES! npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe You can use bitcoin for SoV, MoE, today, no need to wait for some magical pump NGU number. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Did you know that head and shoulders actually causes dry scalp? Crazy? No, it's a fiat shampoo. I switched to a natural based shampoo and never looked back. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe There is no way that a government or any bank would use a privately owned, with unknown supply, centralized, manipulated, shitcoi... Oh wait... npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe When Alby Hub with NWC backend? npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Stop begging big daddy government for a sTrAtEgIc ReSeRve, we don't need them! npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Finally someone with a brain and not another sTrAtEgIc ReSeRve beggar npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe It's hard to track lightning trx, If you buy on strike send to let's say aqua wallet via lightning it will auto swap to liquid then when you get a good amount of a utxo then you just swap out from liquid to onchain. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe These laws are not really enforcable and are only there in the hopes a lot of people will fall for them npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Are cash users also criminals? npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe I have to be honest with you, it hurts I know, It will take time to heal but remember, people in your life can be a punishment, a lesson, or a gift, shaping your journey in unique ways. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe NGU = Number Go Up = Increasing the value of bitcoin in fiat terms npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Thank you for not being another NGU-tard npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe I'm looking forward to people understanding that Bitcoin is far more than just its dollar value going up. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe People hate (are scared) to install another app, not sure what the psychology is behind it. It's easier to just open a web url, get the info and close it. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Saylor has consistently emphasized Bitcoin as a long-term asset rather than a transactional currency. He advocates for holding Bitcoin indefinitely, comparing it to valuable assets like art or real estate, and advises against selling it. While some admire his vision, I don't think this aligns with the broader Bitcoin ethos of decentralized financial transactions. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe You have to add "only in the USA" to the title. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Hmm I am pretty sure a lot of her followers do not care one bit about bitcoin 😅 npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe I would first ask them, what does money mean to them. Then, I would respond based on their answer. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe 0xchat mint I trusted you! npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Bitcoin is much more than just the number going up. You are basically sticking tires on a spaceship and calling it a car, or like in the beginnings of the internet, they called it a “fancy fax machine”. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe If you play political games you win political prizes. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe https://m.primal.net/LvDF.jpg npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Publish on nostr host yourself? npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Wasa wasa wasaaaa searchconneeeeeect 🚀🚀🚀 npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe If the voices sound like Saylor just ignore them, he just wants you to buy some ETF. Jokes aside, I also heard whispers or people shouting when I was younger, nowadays that happens bery rarely and does not last longer than a 2-3 minutes. Also always before falling a sleep. I think something just triggers my subconscious childhood dramas 🤷🏻♂️ npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe INTP 🤓 npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Cool but I would never pay that 12% fee npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Jumping on the latest plastic surgery trend! npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe I think that bolt cards uses lnurl npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Powerful messagehttps://m.primal.net/LXdX.mp4 npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe I am lousy at writing so I use AI to make it less so. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe NPCs npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Exactly, also people viewing nostr just as a decentralized Twitter is the same how peolle viewed bitcoin, just as a get rich quick investment. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe The only thing I miss from Twitter is the edit button 🥲 npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Convincing people to use bitcoin is getting easier every year! When people are already used to next day payments from banks they will not be happy about this change. Habit is a bitch. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Nothing surprising about a fake balance. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Rewrite: I'm a web dev, I have a daily job but all the clients I find or that find me to work for on the side, I encourage them to pay me in btc and give them a 10% discount on my regular price and tell them that I only accept fiat in rare cases. But usually the easiest way is to help them to on-board on the strike app and let them send me the money from the fiat balance, no need to touch btc if they don't want. As a web developer with a daily job, I also take on side projects with clients I find or who find me. I offer these clients a 10% discount on my regular price if they agree to pay me in Bitcoin. I inform them that I only accept fiat currency in exceptional cases. For clients who are new to cryptocurrency, I often assist them in setting up the Strike app, which allows them to send me payments from their fiat balance without needing to directly interact with BTC if they prefer not to. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Ahm, there is no one next to you 😐 npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Also love the simplicity of the GO app, can't wait to uncle Jim this s**t! npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Gn?!

But we need to face this reality to find solutions. There are three types of Bitcoin users: 1. Group A: People who can afford any transaction fees without worry. 2. Group B: People who can afford fees but need to be careful with how often they transact. 3. Group C: People who can’t afford to make transactions at all. In the early days, everyone was in Group A, but now most people are in Group B. The goal is to keep Group B as large as possible. We can do this by: 1. Making the Lightning Network (a way to speed up Bitcoin transactions) more reliable so people don’t need to make on-chain transactions often. 2. Making Bitcoin transactions more efficient so they cost less. However, even with these improvements, some people (Group C) still won’t be able to afford to make transactions. We don’t have a perfect solution for them yet, but some ideas have been tried: 1. Wait for lower fees: Some hope that if these people wait long enough, fees will drop, but that’s unlikely because many people will be trying to do the same thing. 2. Cover fees for others: Another idea is that a service could cover the fees for people who can’t afford them, but this doesn’t work well because it’s not practical or sustainable. The remaining options are: 1. Group transactions together: This means combining transactions from multiple people to share the costs, but it requires cooperation and trust within a group. 2. Incentivize honesty: Create systems where a coordinator holds funds for many people, with built-in safeguards to prevent dishonesty. This is complicated and needs more research to make it work reliably. In summary, dealing with sub-fee amounts in Bitcoin involves trade-offs and challenges, particularly around trust and financial incentives. It’s a complex problem that needs more research and creative solutions, but improving Bitcoin’s capabilities is a key part of the solution. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are considered digital because they are created and stored electronically. However, they are NOT entirely digital in the way that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are. They are simply a type of digital ledger system, meaning they are a centralized database that records and tracks all transactions in the system. Instead of multiple private banks keeping their own ledgers, a single ledger is maintained by the central bank, and all transactions are recorded on it. Hence, CBDCs are still based on centralized infrastructure, and the transactions are still digitally recorded in a central database controlled by the government. Therefore, the main difference between CBDCs and traditional bank deposits lies in the underlying technology. While the former is based on shared ledger technology or blockchain, it does not necessarily need to be decentralized. It is, therefore, accurate to say that CBDCs are digital in terms of the way transactions are carried out, but they are not fully decentralized and digital like cryptocurrencies. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe I don't know why they call a CBDC "digital", because it is not. npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Chuck Norris is a devout Christian and has written several books about his faith, including "Against All Odds: My Story" and "The Secret Power Within: Zen Solutions to Real Problems" npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe test npub15s8v4t8v7vj6fpj8k537c4vn58mx7hlkax8jqkykl7j9az82p4nq7ya5xy CuriousJoe Just wait until people from onlyfans realize they can get tipped here with no middle "man" instantly and without censorship.
