Thank you. It’s odd that I’m doing it but rewarding.

Yes. I’ll probably work on them a bit. I have a bunch of more schooling to go before I can build my own.

I completed my first robotics certification this week. I passed the hands on and written tests. I’m a little bit shocked because I didn’t think that I could do that.

You can just do things at age 44 my friends. 🦾

Just spoke with a guy at work who moved all his Bitcoin from holding it at home on a ledger to having it in an ETF. He glassed over and looked at me strangely when I told him he is better to hold it himself, but he was scared of having "that much money sitting in a draw at home".

What's a good tutorial on bulletproof ways to secure your keys?

you should pay as much attention to what you mute as to who you follow

to increase signal you must decrease noise

When our lightning wallets work 🤭

Nostr janky, but good.

Fresh batches of Pine Tar and Cedarwood that I cut this morning.

Good morning Nostr 🫡🌞🫂

The discussion around corporations buying Bitcoin is so dull and uninteresting.

Easily the most boring and uninspiring topic within Bitcoin that I've ever seen.

Tell no one how many #Bitcoin you own. Never.

The edge of the bowl 🤭

Whenever I’m not home and I go to the bathroom I wonder wtf is the bidet🤣🤣🤣

Another thing that’s a game changer is a bidet. Installed some at home. Never going back 💦💦💦

Now that sounds delicious. Raw heavy cream?

A little sake and some matcha tiramisu never hurt anyone 🤤

Where? 😅

Darn man. Why everything gotta be dipped and injected with industrial seed oils. I bought this to be as au natural as possible.

Thanks for the heads up! 🫂

people are fucking nuts lol

Might be difficult in this case considering Tether’s network effects though. So your concern about centralization is valid.

It’s more of a policy problem where the USG needs to get out of the way of other Stablecoin issuers and let them compete.

True but it's not like there's going to be just one stablecoin issuer that does this

Wouldn't be surprised if Circle does this as well

The more that other fiat devalues, more people will use USDT

And the more profits Tether makes

The more bitcoin they'll buy as a result

And the more that Bitcoin grows in value, the more the proportion of value which Bitcoin backs USDT grows

And at some point, the value of Bitcoin that backs USDT > value of US Treasuries that backs USDT

And now you essentially have a currency that is backed by Bitcoin

What am I missing here?

Saifedean's talk about Tether is great

I start thinking something is bad for Bitcoin and become very confident about it.

In comes some Bitcoiner to tell me why its actually good for Bitcoin.

I'm running out of bearish scenarios

$MSTR - believe in someone else

$BTC - believe in yourself

Invest your money based on your preference

I've got sourdough slices in my freezer, I'll try it with those next time.

I dunno I was just worried it wouldn't turn out good so I used a softer bread. But man, there is zero risk of dry french toast, so I think I'm good.

I am open to being corrected or refuted about this view:

I approach Libertarianism the same way I approach Bitcoin and Hinduism.

In their proper sense,

•They can only be adopted voluntarily.

•People are free to not believe in them, as exit is optional.

•There's no leader that is enforcing rules.

•They can be interpreted in various ways.

•But the systems don't deny the existence of 'truth'.

•Truth is arrived at through debate, discussion and argumentation in various ways through different journeys.

But because of their open and leaderless nature, people who don't understand them can interpret them 'improperly' or 'incorrectly' and still call themselves a proponent of the system.

And that's okay.

It won't hurt the system itself in any way.
