Okay now do tax payer money for pointless bureaucracy and war

Sun's position is basically: Yes Bitcoin is better than crypto, but crypto is easier for me to scam people with.

Well done nostr:nprofile1qqsywt6ypu57lxtwj2scdwxnyrl3sry9typcstje65x7rw9a2e5nq8sprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqydhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnzd96xxmmfdecxzunt9e3k7mgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mq9hxafw - wasn't the most challenging opponent, but you were solid 💪

Nigel Farage could actually be the UK prime minister in 2029. I suspect his strategy is something like:

1. Form a party and get a foothold in parliament to build from (✅)

2. Deny any possibility of ever partnering with the Conservative Party in order to ensure voters really do intend to vote more for you

3. However, given first past the post, you've now maximally split the centre-right vote and Labour stands to benefit

4. In the 11th hour propose to negotiate on your terms (e.g. that Tory MPs will elect you as PM), and strategically stand down candidates such that the centre-right vote isn't split at constituency level (okay if it is in parliament)

We're now in step 2 - and it's fascinating how many people take Farage at his word that there won't ever be an alliance with the Conservative Party.

Keen to try out Primal, but it's a non-starter without Amber support. I see there are already two open GitHub issues about it, so hopefully soon? nostr:nprofile1qqsdv8emcke7k3qqaldwv956tstu40ejg663gdsaayuuujs6pknw7jspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucn0w3jhvtnnwcq3yamnwvaz7tmsw4e8qmr9wpskwtn9wvqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dsx2l4qj

Not every component needs to be evil for the whole or the outcome to be.

USG can fuck right off - not getting any of my Bitcoin

Also, I don't own gold, but it's still a store of value for a lot of people and not a gov issued shitcoin. Advocating for those people to get screwed in order to pump your bags and kill a strong alternative to the USD 👎

Muun is still my number 1 recommendation to friends who want to get their coins off an exchange, but they're not advanced enough (or don't have the time) to properly set up and air gap a coldcard.

It's user friendly, and has great recovery options. Also allows for layer agnostic payments (can be expensive so that's a tradeoff).

Bitkey seems like a great option to recommend to friends who want to get their btc off an exchange, but my reservation is that they require your credit card details (no Bitcoin payment). Seems like an unnecessary shortcoming.

This is an amazing story about the dynamics of woke, how it destroys productivity, is intolerant, and ultimately eats itself.

Besides from getting a few specific facts wrong, I think the broader points Andreessen makes are solid. Hopefully it opens some eyes.

Pity that he's one of the few people ever who've managed to unlearn (at least publicly) how Bitcoin is better money. So cringe when he spoke about his founders needing to use cash when they were debanked, despite having the largest "crypto" fund out there 🤦‍♂️

Ha, look how many reviews there are for these 😂

Note of the day 👌

Coinbase is so retarded.

Played poker last night and tried to pay the winner with Bitcoin. He only had the Coinbase app, but they supposedly have lightning. He went through the steps to "receive" via lightning and clicked "generate invoice", but the app gave him an error saying he couldn't "send" 🙃 (I think his account had been limited because they needed more KYC info)

Didn't have time to get him a self custody wallet (or even just WoS), sadly.

Fiat: You can win, or you can play fair.

Bitcoin: You can win, and you can play fair.

Bitcoin is broken, buy my shitcoin!

On one hand, it's interesting and bullish for Bitcoin (by analogy) that there is such a thing as illegal gold mining.

On the other hand, it's even more bullish at how easy it is for the state to find and shut down an illegal gold mine. Possible, but much harder with Bitcoin.

(Not a perfect metaphor since gold mining isn't important for gold transactions)

Bitcoiners on TV trying to explain latest BTCUSD exchange rate with reasons like Trump, regulation, macro something something..

Guys, it's all noise. It's going up (forever) because it's absolutely scarce, digital gold that governments can't fuck with.

Evening walk in Buckinghamshire

Hopefully one where people have a sense of humour ;)

It's clearly bigger than them though - think of the children

Wen "Adam Back is hot" campaign? We need to instill the same values in our sons so they don't aspire to emulate notties like Clooney

Stay humble fren

A scam disguised as a troll, embedded in a larp.

Industrial levels of FUD should be expected this cycle as institutions try to increase supply

When fake government money leads to so many problems, it should not surprise you that real money fixes so much.
