You’re a great friend, every sat matters 💪

Hey Nat my close friend in LA has a new technology that raises the success of IVF to near 100%. I would be happy to connect them. What’s the best way to do that?

YnoT 11mo ago

I'd be interested. Sent you a DM.

Badsamm 11mo ago

What’s a home worth if you can’t insure it? Cost of building materials plus labor?

₿k 11mo ago

sent. I hope she’ll be able to recover from her loss

Kendy 11mo ago

With all due respect, living that close to what looks like the ocean without insurance is an interesting choice…

HoloKat 11mo ago

She is probably talking about fire insurance …

Kendy 11mo ago

I’m aware. I’m just commenting on choosing to live in an extra risky location without insurance.

HoloKat 11mo ago

Much of Southern California is like this - hard to get fire insurance or it’s just very expensive. Sometimes no one will insure you even if you’re willing to pay ungodly amounts.

Kendy 11mo ago

Sounds like they knowingly accept the risk 🤷🏻

HoloKat 11mo ago

Much of the world has some sort of natural disaster risk - it’s just a matter of how much you’re willing to tolerate.

Kendy 11mo ago

True. Some areas are much more statistically likely to suffer something than others. Obviously it’s impossible to guess correctly.

HoloKat 11mo ago

I live in Japan where most cities are coastal and prone to tsunamis. A “right” kind of earthquake can generate a tsunami that will wipe out a good portion of a city. They happen at least once every 100 or so years. The question is should I worry about a potential earthquake of this magnitude in my lifetime or can I go about my life as normal? Probably both … but to a point I should move elsewhere? I don’t know. Easy to say yes, and very reasonable reaction but much harder to do in practice when your life is tied to one location in more ways than one.

Kendy 11mo ago

I appreciate the perspective. It’s easy for me to comment without my life deeply tied up in a location.

SwBratcher 11mo ago

Yeah. Live where it makes sense. If insurers won’t insure you for hurricanes, wildfires, buffalo stampedes, then you should take a hint and live elsewhere, because you’re about to just support their statistician’s findings. These guys calculate risk for a living. Listen to their inclinations.

MAKE SONGS LONGER 11mo ago

Dude, getting home insurance is super hard anywhere anymore, and pricey. You have ONE problem and they try to NOT cover you. I know people here in Arizona who can hardly get home insurance over past water leaks.

Insurance is a casino, the house always wins.

Kendy 11mo ago

Good point that I wasn’t fully aware of. I was just commenting on choosing to live in an extra risky location without insurance.

MAKE SONGS LONGER 11mo ago

My guess is it wasn’t her choice. Not that it’s any of our business. I feel for anyone who’s lost everything in a fire.

Kendy 11mo ago

I don’t buy that with what her household income looks like. She very likely had a choice.

I agree it definitely sucks.

MAKE SONGS LONGER 11mo ago

As someone who has lost a loved one in a fire, i would sure rather lost every material thing and all my money than bury someone again.

Income doesn’t matter. Insurance is crooked.

Kendy 11mo ago

That’s terrible, my condolences.

I’m saying income matters regarding her choice where she lives.

MAKE SONGS LONGER 11mo ago

Oh I gotcha. It’s the dream, right? Live in gorgeous California with „perfect”

Weather… people forget how much of the state burns up and the liberal policies that don’t help.

Kendy 11mo ago

With all things considered, SoCal is very far from a dream IMO. Moreso a nightmare. Even before these fires.

Obviously some people still think it’s justifiable, and that’s their right 🤷🏻.

MAKE SONGS LONGER 11mo ago

Agreed. High taxes, expensive everything, a ton of traffic… not fun. I grew up in the Bay Area and it’s much the same. Idyllic places to live until you drill down on quality of life.

The Daniel 🖖 11mo ago

Many insurance companies have stopped offering new policies in SoCal. There are a lot of reasons, but it’s mostly the state government’s fault.

Kendy 11mo ago

That sucks. I was also hearing about that. It’s hard for me to emphasize with those with significant resources who choose to remain in SoCal.

PolarizedBear 11mo ago

Some people like to raw dog and say fuck it.

I guess it all depends on the value of the home, how much risk there is, how much money you have in your savings, and how many fucks you have to give.

Kendy 11mo ago

That’s fair. Everyone makes their own risk reward decisions. I would kind of get it if you owned the appreciating property = high reward. But I don’t get the renting.

PolarizedBear 11mo ago

Renting properties is always a trap of convenience. You need a place to live, but you can't afford to buy a property, so you rent instead. Then the costs are too high so you can never afford to save up enough money to buy a property. Leaving you stuck in a logic loop of never being able to escape this form of slavery for most renters.

The better alternative is to rough it for awhile and work your ass off. Either by living out of an RV that you can afford to lease, or get for free on craigslist to restore. If you don't mind the wilderness building a non-permanent structure under the size limits out in a safe state, or national park under the guise of "camping" works too.

Then save up enough money to buy a piece of land, put a tiny home on it, or save up longer to build your dream home. Sure this choice is not fucking easy, but it is worth it in the end to escape the cycle of rental slavery.

DRE 11mo ago

I’m surprised she was given a lease without proof of getting renters insurance. Kind of wild renting a place and getting no insurance tbh. She should see if the homeowner had a policy that can be claimed.

Kendy 11mo ago

SoCal appears to be a wild, illogical place 😬

DRE 11mo ago

She should be thankful she was only renting

Kendy 11mo ago

Agreed

bitChomsky 11mo ago

They were renting

Kendy 11mo ago

I’m aware. Some problem with huge chunk of exposed assets

ElvenWolf 11mo ago

isn't the palisades an area where the wealthy live in Cali? Anyone who lives there shouldn't need a go fund me page.

Mike 11mo ago

Another reason why Bitcoin is superior to valuable homes and land...

MyOldKyHodl 11mo ago

if she wants to try Chinese medicine for infertility let me know. she can check out books by Randine Lewis like Birthing the Dao, and the infertility cure.

bitChomsky 11mo ago

Heartbreaking. To live in that location, one would need to have a positive cashflow/income of $680k/year. Bailing out the rich is a tough pill to swallow considering that’s 1-year salary is equivalent to me working for10 years.

jerrud 11mo ago

Easily the most ridiculous appeal for relief I’ve ever seen.

tigs 11mo ago

680k/year ?! - That's well over a million in AUD and I get paid under $25,000 AUD a year. She makes 40 times as much as me.

Has Saphia got her own nostr account? Can we see how much she has zapped?

Mike Hall ⚡️ 11mo ago

Sats sent to lightening address along with prayers 🙏🏻. You’re a good friend.

Who, What, When, Where, How, and Why? 11mo ago

Maybe if Uncle Sam didn't take all my money to send to Ukraine?

btc21million 11mo ago

I think you and your husband Sam Callahan can afford to give her a bitcoin or two. He works for Swan after all and both of you make a lot of money through all your activities. To ask strangers on the internet to contribute for a friend of yours is kinda cringe...

Canadian Progressive Bitcoiner 11mo ago 💬 1

Sent a few sats her way.

To those attacking the personal choices that anybody made, this isn't the time or place. This is a tragedy and someone needs help. We don't know the whole story.

bitChomsky 11mo ago

Smells self-righteous to me. This is exactly the time and place. Richer people and influencers playing on the sympathies of others while panhandling to save them from their own choices…

You are right. We do not know the whole story, but what is see is disgusting.

Jon 11mo ago

Jesus. Go fund me culture needs to be cancelled.

VampireMJ 11mo ago

BTC Aloha 11mo ago

it’s devastating, my prayers and love go out to everyone. I have friends who lost their homes too. We need Bitcoin more than ever

jerrud 11mo ago

Please help my extremely wealthy friend get back on her feet.

GTFOH. Somebody Google how much 14 IVF treatments cost. Google the fucking price of that house before the fire.

This is the most ridiculous appeal for relief I’ve ever seen. What a joke.

jerrud 11mo ago

This is my friend Jamie. Many of the properties in his personal real estate portfolio have been destroyed by the fires in LA.

Please consider donating whatever you can to help him get back on his feet.

The Bitcoin Street Journal 11mo ago

This cannot be real. From the looks of her she is obviously unemployable. Her future prospects look very dim. A good suggestion would be try OF?

jerrud 11mo ago

Ask Cory Klippsten to ask Fortress Trust if he can have some of his bitcoin back to donate.

Absolutely gut wrenching. Sending prayers and sats to Saphia and so many impacted by the fires. Hope she and her family emerge from this even stronger

bitcoinlimit 11mo ago 💬 1

One thing you can be 100% sure of is that I'll never come here asking for free sats for my struggling friends or myself—especially for friends who own beachfront properties. Some people are absolutely ridiculous!

FiddleHodlHomestead 11mo ago

I recently asked for donations for a friend who lost her home in Hurricane Helene. It has meant so much to her that people who don't even know her have been kind enough to help.

Kyle 11mo ago

for showing empathy? I don't think this is it man. You lose more in disasters than just money

bitcoinlimit 11mo ago 💬 1

Oh, I’m all about showing empathy, but not just towards one wealthy individual. There are plenty of relief funds out there, such as the Red Cross, California Fire Foundation, and California Community Foundation, that anyone can contribute to. IMO, sharing photos of friends' beachfront properties (whether owned or rented) while asking for donations feels wrong. This heartbreaking disaster has impacted so many lives. Why not focus on contributing to a general recovery fund that helps everyone in need, rather than prioritizing the preservation of one lavish lifestyle?

Of course, Natalie is popular on social media, so we all know many people will jump at the chance to show off their "empathy" not out of a genuine desire to help her, but to use this opportunity to gain attention or boost their own image. It’s disheartening to see such tragedies turned into a platform for performative acts rather than sincere efforts to make a meaningful difference for everyone and I mean everyone affected.

Kyle 11mo ago

I respect it. I get your view point and I actually I agree

bitcoinlimit 11mo ago

🧡 🤙

jerrud 11mo ago 💬 1

Then why are they asking for money?

Kyle 11mo ago

I'm just naive I guess and don't like to think everyone's a grifter

jerrud 11mo ago

To be fair I don’t think it’s a grift. I just thought it was absurd to ask other people to donate money to a rich person.

jerrud 11mo ago

100%.

In unrelated news; she also needs a gaming PC and a SteamDeck.

Please zap her to show solidarity.

Ecnal 11mo ago

Terribly sorry to hear about your bitcoin friend and her loss but imagine living and renting (it’s not even her property) in the most exclusive/expensive location on planet earth and looking for donations. She didn’t even have rental insurance. That’s like 10 dollars a month. This is crazy. Hopefully she backed up her seed phrase on steel.

FiddleHodlHomestead 11mo ago

she couldn't get rental insurance, and it seems to be her friends and family who are asking for donations.

You don’t.

Operation Libertas 11mo ago

You can check her NIP-05 identifier. You can also cross reference it with another source, like X. I know I used a dirty word, but Nostr doesn’t solve all information problems. It solves for the censorship problem.

We still have to get our information from other parts of the world and bring it here

Justin 11mo ago

Laurel 11mo ago

Everything about this is obscene FIAT behavior.

Operation Libertas 11mo ago

I don’t think it’s fiat behavior to have empathy for someone losing their house
