We’re at the “price controls” stage of the fiat collapse cycle.

Giving this a shot. Installed #Umbrel with a bitcoin node and a nostr relay. We’ll see how this goes.

Very carefully.

To stack sats, earn more than you spend.

To earn more than you spend, cut needless expenses and focus on your craft.

To focus on your craft, provide greater value to your fellow man.

To provide greater value to your fellow man, stay humble.

To stay humble, stay present.

Is the nextcloud data encrypted? I don’t know why I remember thinking it isn’t from research I did a few years ago

I have a long list and goal of going as much FOSS as possible.

First, get a Pixel phone. Then run Graphene OS. Then use Proton VPN, drive and email with forwarding from gmail.

Then use Kiwi browser with Orbot VPN.

Then Amethyst for Nostr.

Then Obtanium for App downloads or Github APKs.

What am I missing?

You can also use Google Maps with and without sandboxed Play Services and with or without network location provider.

By default all location requests are routed via the OS API so effectively GPS/GNSS ONLY.

funny how governments want to promote competition amongst companies so people can get the most benefits... but when you launch a competitive money product, governments start to lose their minds. lol

Canadian government proposes charging a tax for putting links on your website

Revolut now requires you to provide the name of the recipient when sending bitcoin to an unhosted wallet.

They sent an email yesterday to announce the new rules, and at the same time blocked all withdrawals from the app. You had to upgrade to the latest version (deployed today) before being allowed to withdraw your sats.

I've just cancelled my daily and weekly recurring orders, and withdrawn the remaining 190,000 sats to Mr. Pika Chu's wallet.

The order has been pending for half an hour, maybe a human agent needs to review and approve?

How do they validate the authenticity of the information? What if I had entered your name?

CLN vs LND, recommendations?

The profits (which are about $5/book) from the first 1,000 copies of Broken Money are going to the HRF Bitcoin Development Fund.

I think I will put the profits from copies 2,000-5,000 into making a slick animated YouTube video about the history of money and banking and the emergence of Bitcoin (basically the 30-minute summary of Broken Money). Kind of like Dalio’s “How the Economic Machine Works” video.

A popular 500 page finance book can reach tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. But an equivalent video, while not as deep, has the potential to reach millions as a different part of the knowledge funnel.

Because, I dunno. Fuck profits I guess. The rest of my business covers profits; the book is for a different purpose.

anonymous phone ☎️

1.) buy a pixel 3a or higher refurbished or used

2.) flash calyxOS or grapheneOS to it

3.) buy a eSIM "data only" on bitrefill.com (160 countries supported)

buy with lightning, use one time email

4.) scan eSIM QR ---> phone does the setup

4.) use simpleX for voice and video calls

5.) firefox klar for web browsing

i think this setup is quite good

you only cant call people on their phonenumber

Ive always thought this particularly about Glenn.
