people are like "bitcoin is too expensive" yet here I am, in exile, paying EUR 4.75 every time I use the ATM

Jeff 2y ago

ATMs are free in Ireland. There’d be uproar if they started charging

It's mostly closing my eyes real fast once I spot something I don't wanna see.

I know pancakes are delicious but I can't imagine a more unhealthy food.

Fried flour powder topped with pure sugar?

Donuts must be a contender!

Metallica's Black album. And not because the music was the greatest, the band was arguably past their prime.

But this was the tape (yes, cassette tape) that I hiked many miles through Yosemite to, over passes, through canyons, down the side of waterfalls. It may have been the only one I had bothered to pack, but this tape gave me something to march on to.

~30 years later, and it is immediately my first choice, although I know far better albums, musicians, etc.

You’ve just reminded me of some things..

Using a pencil to rewind one side of a tape to save batteries.

Opening a tape up to perform surgery and cut off mangled pieces and sellotaping them back together (several times)

Pressing ffwd and play at the same time when the batteries were low to try and get the song playing properly - it worked ok!

Omg - have you ever seen anything like this. These cats were in the same Cattery as my two moggies #catstr

where y’all at with your fitness? 👀

Jeff 2y ago

Getting there. Joined a gym late last year. Have gone from 23% body fat down to 16.5% so it’s working. Gave up booze at the same time. I’m an old geezer so need to look after myself after years of abuse. Consistency is the key, just keep turning up!

Remember back in the 90’s when you wanted to hang out with your friend…

so you had to run like 5-10 blocks…

knock on the door, just to find out that your friend just left to go to your house to see if you can play…?

The good ole days 🤣

Re: self-custody.

For real, just drop it. I know. I agree. But just think what you people are saying: "The current system is already cumbersome, people are just stuck with the familiar and reject the discomfort of what's new".

Yes, but in the current system, unless you're wealthy, you're covered by insurance. And then again, if you're wealthy enough not to be covered, you're probably sophisticated enough for self-custody already, or can afford to pay people to be sophisticated for you.

It's very simple: if my mom's bank "loses" her money, she gets it back. If she loses the keys to her BTC, she doesn't. And that applies to absolutely everybody in my immediate circle. I literally know no one around me who has more than €100k cash in a bank account.

Jeff 2y ago

Completely agree. Some of the talk around this is wishful thinking. Normal folk are rarely going to self custody. I think nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx has it factually correct but directionally wrong when he says any mother can self custody as rearing children is much tougher. A very large proportion of people will never self custody even if btc becomes the world’s reserve currency - unless we get something so simple to use that it’s done by default and the user is incapable of losing them
