Many people underestimate how important Samourai and Wasabi are to #Bitcoin

For reference, there are about 4000 BTC locked into the Lightning network

I've no idea, I've not been to bed yet and am still drinking. I fully realise this is no help whatsoever, but full disclosure and all that🤷🏻‍♂️.

You could run btcpayserver on your start9.

Name a country / area that’s a lot nicer than people imagine and one that’s a lot worse than people imagine?

Thx for the vibe :)

I never give up, although I have periods when I switch from hyper active mode to being in hiatus. It is always stressful. I wouldn't describe it as depression but it seems like a serious overload of my brain.

It is mostly related to art, finding new ways, destroying the old, finding sense in new creations and concepts.

I never slow down completely but somehow I gotta push through. It gets a bit weird as sometimes it seems like there is no way out. In times like this realize that resting is what I am terrible at. My brain refuses to shut down and keeps working in overload mode. I don't complain as it is the way I chose. It's possibly the price you pay if you truly open your mind and decide to totally broaden the spectrum in which you operate. The fascinating cyber world and truth seeking drains a lot of resources.

Almost there.

That feel (and smell) when a garbage truck passes you by on a warm spring day just as you start your run. Nostr and Bitcoin don't fix this.

Wow! That’s legit. I’ll only be in Athens for 2 nights and I’m booked already. Appreciate it though.

Any restaurant suggestions?

It’s my favourite part of nostr! Strong emergence in a chaotic system is an incredibly refreshing change in a world replete with venture capital funded garbage built solely upon desires for 100x growth at all costs.

We’re gonna see so many cool things built here. Many will fail, but the things that survive and succeed are going to be incredible.

NOSTR IS CYPHERPUNK AF

There is a beautiful harmony between #Nostr and #Bitcoin that we are beginning to see flourish.

Bitcoin Devs are stifled by consensus. They do themselves no favours with how they approach changes, however I can understand the frustration of passionate people who feel restrained with adoption of some fantastic ideas.

Nostr provides an outlet for that creativity and brilliance. Here you don’t need anyone’s permission, there is no consensus, you can just go for it and the best ideas will rise to the top.

And by building on nostr you extend the usability of Bitcoin, specifically as a MoE. Adding more utility to its use as money, making the money more valuable, enticing more apps to be built to take advantage of this more valuable money with greater utility, making it more valuable…

This flywheel effect of the ecosystem growing and benefitting all participants will accelerate orangepilling in a way that we’ve never seen before. No need to have someone read a book, or dedicate hours to podcast, or understand fiat - they’ll simply be using Bitcoin in an unstoppable ecosystem where they’re free to pursue their interests without gatekeepers. ie How the cypherpunks envisioned the internet should be.

Nostr’s growth is what will open possibilities for Bitcoin development because we are going to see what *actually* needs to change, rather than just what some Devs *think* would be good to change.

Bitcoiners who aren’t on #nostr simply haven’t understood where the world is going. They’re busy dreaming about plugging hard money into fiat systems, begging permission from fiat overlords who will never allow it.

Nobody here need ask permission. There is no licensing, no PCI DSS compliance, no API permissions - and Identities can go anywhere, bring their social graph, bring their money, and plug in to whatever applications serve them utility.

Nostr is the development Bitcoin actually needed, and it’s Cypherpunk AF.
