@james Just listened to you on Spotify on The Investor's Podcast. Love the energy and the way you break things down in a simple and easy to digest way

e.g. the insolvency and bail-in of Silicon Valley Bank

The bean is Fidalgo “sunset blend” dark roast. It’s a double espresso with a few ounces of hot water and a splash of grass fed creamer. A very strong, rich and bold Americano!

Absolutely delicious. My espresso machine was worth every penny.

⚡️ Zap time ⚡️

Write your thoughts about :

Why bitcoin will USD as global reserve currency? 👀

Will try to zap all valid comments in this thread ⚡️

Expecting interesting things to read and good way to educate people about #bitcoin on nostr ✅💯

Welcome fren! 🫂 Follow the people you like, get on the relays you want, and enjoy free speech 😊

#nostrwelcome

Welcome new folks! I’ve been getting these questions a lot in the past couple of days so here we go:

1. What are zaps?

Zaps are receipts of bitcoin lightning payments to posts or profiles on nostr (the name of the underlying protocol). By attaching a lightning address to your profile via a wallet like wallet of satoshi, you can send and receive any amount of money to anyone in the world in under a second. This is all possible without any intermediaries. Its uncensorable money over an uncensorable speech protocol.

2. What are relays and why do we need them?

Relays are regular servers and regular databases. When posting notes or following users, it sends your notes/contact list/profile/etc to multiple relays at once controlled by different people. We do it this way because we believe no one should have the ability to unilaterally deplatform you.

3. How do you make money

Still trying to figure that out.

✍️ An Ode to Cholesterol

Cholesterol gets a bad reputation - particularly LDL.

We dislike it because we find it insinuated within the lining of our arteries.

We blame it for shortening our lives.

It is important to remember the function that the LDL serves.

It is patching up all the damage you are doing to your body.

Where inflammation and tissue damage go, LDL follows. It is part of the healing process.

So, the next time you want to throw shade at LDL, remember what your blood vessel would look like without it.

Inflamed, fibrotic, leaking, and throwing clots. You'd stroke out in no time.

Improve your habits, and thank your cholesterol for keeping you alive this long.

Followed for this💯

Nuclear war aside (since that's basically an ever-present #1 risk), what do you think the biggest global risks/challenges are over the next decade?

#Bitcoin is truly like winning a lottery in advance.

Because of math.

I still can't geti it, but please ELI5 me! LOL

Nostr is for everyone, correct?

And the absence of algorithms should create a more open and diverse network, yes?

Despite this circumstance we have a bubble here (at least I think we do): Bitcoin, anti-state, libertarian, maybe a tendency towards the right?

Of course there are technical, historical and other good reasons for this.

Nevertheless: Where are the “others”?

Please mention user profiles worth following that brings diversity to Nostr! 🙏

And if you don’t agree with my assessment, change my mind!

If you think this post should be seen by many, consider reposting. Thanks!

#Nostr has already won

Half my paycheck direct deposited into Strike. Pooling select tokens for favorable APR on Thorchain. Funneling the profits back into Bitcoin cold storage. Risk mitigation is key here though because of third party risks in lending.
