Yeah I get it. Maybe in the future
Today however Bitcoin needs the marketing of 21 million hard cap for NGU.
Call a spade a spade, NgU is the most important metric for adoption.
It’s the plebs jobs to keep bitcoin and freedom tools growing so we don’t FIATize the bitcoin network, ie no longer permissionless.
You just need more principled big accounts to switch to Nostr. In my example I followed Gigi nostr:nprofile1qqsxu35yyt0mwjjh8pcz4zprhxegz69t4wr9t74vk6zne58wzh0waycprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcm7fmlp and Odell nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgpr9mhxue69uhhxetwv35hgtnwdaekvmrpwfjjucm0d5q3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet5mm8xr7 here. Valued their content more than the majority of slop on X.
Chicken and egg because big accounts on X will be small accounts on Nostr (for now).
So far it seems to work great I don’t see any features I’m missing as compared to X. Maybe a better search function.
Sats are literally not a new paradigm to learn…
If you look at the Steak ‘n Shake receipts people are spending around 30,000 sats (aka 30$ at current btc price). That multiple rule of thumb just gets easier.
People in the east are already used to 4 digit valuations of everything, ie 1000 yen for a burger or 1000 rupees for a drink.
Sats are more intuitive than people think.
Amazing thanks to the primal team.
Finally deactivated my X account after using for so many years.
Zaps and transfer of instant value with lightning is amazing to use.
This is the ultimate goal imo
Where the money holds value and people can focus on their craft
Streak n shake accepted btc payments because nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqfnwaehxw309ah8wcewwpexjmtpdshxuet59ashjan2d3jkjmrd0qcxzmphdge8qut5xg68zetyx9arwcfcwvmu86vm own bitcoin company lmao
I have no idea how jack is so successful and yet so stupid
I feel bad man normies think they missed the bitcoin boat. Just can’t clue in to the fact that % gains are still there.
That’s the normie perspective.
The real perspective is that Bitcoin is sovereign money and it’s worth buying at any price.
Chicken and egg. I’d spent bitcoin if shops around me accepted it.
Living off gift cards while larping about being on a bitcoin standard is not the same thing. You’re only profiting the gift card companies.
Therefore the most important thing, ie next 5 years is to HODL Bitcoin which drives merchant acceptance of this asset with price appreciation.
HODL to SPND is my motto.
Do you eat organs for those vitamin requirements or is there a good pill you can get from Amazon?
I already have a good magnesium I’m taking at nighttime.
Just had a massive fruit, goat milk, regular homo milk, raw honey and cold brew haul. Looking to cut some extra fat around the tummy area. Planning on fruit only till the evening and then regular meal.
Yeah obvs coins from an exchange are KYC but that’s a seperate discussion as compared to the original post.
That’s just how Bitcoin is it’s an open ledger that’s pseudonym. If you have a problem with that use Robosats to get KYC free coins and that’s it. Goodluck trying to sell a large amount without KYC tho - going to run into liquidity problems. Best way is to have small non KYC stash and majority through an exchange.
Show us how it’s done mate. I like when you post your schedule for the day shows how regimented you are trying to be!
Do you typically follow it pretty close?
okay how are the coins tainted?
You keep ending your commments with “…” signaling a greater conspiracy.
Don’t fall for the FUD you’re going to lose your coins and never get them back again.
How does that stop you from running your own node? Auditing your transactions and making sure the bitcoin you own is real.
How does it stop you from sending transactions on the network?
Centralizing it how? Satoshi owns a million bitcoin - is it centralized with him owning that much?
Describe? What’s stopping you from still using it as magic internet money?
In your personal life do you save in bitcoin? Is a stockpile reserve of bitcoin not a good first step??
🔥PROOF OF WORK🔥
June 25, 2024: 204.6 lbs, 25-28% BF
April 26, 2025: 161.2 lbs, 12.3% BF (April 3 DEXA scan)
800+ daily calorie deficit
4x workouts per week
6.1 million steps, 20k daily average
No gimmicks. No skipped gym days.
This is how I did it:👇
I started cutting June 25, 2024 with CoachFHM (Twitter handle) as my trainer, thanks to a referral from nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skueqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgrt8zt8l5vreng3m04r2xpyn8mms77qkqnqm72fe69p3lxd7ca20y8pse3m . The goal was to build muscle, but the fat had to go first.
Francis' plan was an aggressive 800+ daily calorie deficit for 6 months. I wanted to stick with the carnivore diet, and he wanted me to eat some yogurt and fruit pre-workout. I compromised and agreed to this macro plan:
2005 calories
60g carbs
205g protein
105g fat
A few months in, I ran into issues trying to stay carnivore while cutting. I went into greater detail here:
https://x.com/Mandrik/status/1864306324160315874
TL;DR - my body needed carbs. It was time for a change.
New daily macros:
1885 calories
185g protein
185g carbs
45g fat
Foods I introduced - sweet potatoes, rice (white & black), lots of fruits and vegetables, bread, and more dairy options.
Things were going well, but it was clear this was going to take longer than six months. I'd have run away if Francis told me 10 months, but I wanted to keep pushing after seeing so much progress.
I took Christmas week off, eating maintenance calories with a light workout schedule. It was a much needed break, but weight loss slowed down from there.
January was rough. I live in the northeast US. Cold, no sun, and eating less. Oh, and I was caffeine-free (still am), which makes cutting extra hard mode.
A perfect storm for losing my mind.
By the end of the month I was cracking, and Francis recognized what was going on. He said it was time for a break - eat maintenance level calories for all of February.
I literally wept with joy that first day. I can't believe the toll this cut was taking on me, and how incredible it felt eating a normal amount of calories.
That month changed me as a human being. I began to recognize I could do normal things, like go to a restaurant and even have a little taste of dessert. Enjoy life without overindulging.
Up until that point I had never experienced this. I never felt in control of my eating. I had to restrict myself from certain foods because I couldn't moderate them. That's why the carnivore diet was so good for me.
Not anymore.
I used this energy for one last push. The goal was always to get in that 10-12% body fat range. My weight dropped down into the high 160s, so I knew I was close. I scheduled a DEXA scan for early April. Results?
Total body fat: 12.3%
I could keep pushing. Try to work towards more ab definition as I worked closer to 10% BF. That sounds great, but I was mentally done. I was getting close to cracking again, spending the past few months waking up at 4AM every day. We agreed to end the cut on April 26 no matter what, so I hung in there.
Now here I am, having just crawled across the finish line. Could I have done better? Of course. I still see body fat around my midsection that would have been nice to lose.
I will always be one of those people who needs to be reminded by others of my accomplishments. I focus on what still needs done vs what I worked so hard to do.
So today I take a step back, and recognize that I've accomplished something that I never in my life thought possible. I spent the past 10 months undoing decades of bad eating decisions.
It's ok to feel great about that. I did it!🔥
So I'm going to celebrate this W. Spend a few weeks going to the gym, eating maintenance level calories. Recovering from this incredible and awful experience.
Then it's on to phase 2:
We build. 🏋️♂️
Why didn’t you just run? Walking does not lose fat. Running around the neighborhood block does.
It seems like you went through a painful experience when you could have just run more and workout harder.
Me too I reached my bitcoin goal in 2023 and thought that’s it no more. This April been stacking like crazy once more and close to my next goal where I’m going to think okay that’s finally it!
Nostr via Primal is becoming very good. Now finding more interesting content and engagement here compared to twitter.
Keep building !
