Bitcoin enthusiasts emphasize the importance of building reserves and making strategic spending decisions, particularly during market downturns. With Bitcoin's current price at $95,820, advocates promote a structured three-wallet system for tax optimization and efficient transactions, reinforcing Bitcoin's role as a tool for financial sovereignty and independence. #Bitcoin #studybitcoin

Although public keys are pseudo-anonymous

And although me, our team, and you (the audience) keep stuff as private as we can...

There is an intimate relationship here on Nostr. There is a sense of family here, among these anon strangers.

And for that, I am grateful. Merry xmas, or whatever holiday in your country, and thanks for being part of an awesome community... in an otherwise dark world.

We is the signup for subscription?

The damus lightning node made $116 from routing $18,194 worth of payments this year. We also made $21,000 from lightning purple subscriptions, which helped paid a portion of daniel's salary (our only part-time employee).

It aint much, but it's a start. With purple, HRF, and OpenSats, Damus has been able to build out slowly without VC funds. Hopefully we can keep this up. I thought this was going to be our last year but the LTS funds kept the dream alive a little longer.

Clients have got a *lot* better, but we're still insanely early. nostr is going to continue to get better and better. People will continue getting deplatformed on bluesky, activitypub and the big tech silos. We are one of the few lines of defense against internet censorship and government tyranny, and the first large scale experiment that enables true value for value transfer between sovereign individuals online.

This movement is just beginning, and ya'll are on the front line.

️Looking forward to spending another year with you psychos 🫡

IMF and El Salvador

During all these years of self-education and search for the truth, which by the way led me to Bitcoin, one of the things I learned is that the IMF is the monetary instrument used by the US to subjugate countries and take away their national sovereignty.

The most significant case of our time was Japan, many do not know the history, and as it is somewhat long and complex I refer you to the great documentary “Princes of the Yen”.

If there is one thing that “Bitcoiners” are guilty of, it is naivety. Bukele has made a pact with the devil, Bukele is not as good as you think, he is just a politician, if he had really been smart and had thought about his people, rather than asking for a loan to the IMF he would have opted for the old tactic of save and do not spend what you do not have.

Oh yes, now he has bought 10 more bitcoins, as if he spends the 1400 million in Bitcoin, so far the IMF has already had its way with Bitcoin.

I repeat, if there is one thing Bitcoiners are guilty of, it is being very naive. There is no good politician, you understand? Neither Trump, nor Milei nor Bukele, they are all shit, and Bukele only uses Bitcoin as propaganda, nothing else.

You can argue whatever you want, but surely you don't know what it means to pact with the IMF nor how bad this institution is, before giving your opinion about how good Bukele is, study what the IMF is, study how it has subjugated countries and study what happens if you breach your agreements with the IMF.
