Switched zap receiver to WoS self-custody. Can I please get a micro zap to test, thank you. 🫂⚡️

I've purged my follow list.

I only want to follow people who support #Bitcoin and #Palestine.

If that is you => comment below, so I can re-follow you.

(If you are cryptobro/israelizionazicunt, please also comment below so I can block you).

Confirmed. Larger #hodlbutter jars coming soon 🔥

Yes, IBIT is 1:1 with Bitcoin. The calls against IBIT will provided concentrated returns in whatever direction Bitcoin heads in the next few months. I bought long calls with a January expiration date.

chat is so bad sometimes

I loaded up some IBIT calls for January.

Took a $70 strike.

If these pan out they will outperform bitcoin and ultimately help me increase my stack.

If they don’t I can live with the outcome.

I'm 100% down with V4V. I'll zap sats to every post that makes me chuckle or nod. But I CANNOT imagine zapping an invoice to cover a meal for some influencer just because they aren't an unattractive female.

Reciprocity of V matters.

maybe I should just sell sats from my lightning node via in app purchases.

legally dubious? check

cypherpunk af? check

zap button back? maybe.

Bitcoin is everything people don't know about computers,

combined with everything they don't understand about money.

I finally get to say something I’ve always wanted to say for the first time in 16 years:

Day 2 off nicotine 😆

I have worked with H1Bs my whole career so much so the large telecom company I worked was fined for having too many. I have spoke to HR people who will actually talk about how the system is abused so all know all about H1Bs. Wow so you are saying there are perks to actually being a citizen in the country you work in .... go figure.

bro, I just had an idea. Hear me out: value8value - it's twice as good, and it feeds upon itself!

get rid of H1Bs and we wouldn't have that problem, companies will get cheap labor anyway they can. Don't believe the not enough, under qualified or AI(this one at least not yet) they feed you. Its just cover to off shore or H1B visa anything they can.

Oh, is that all? Maybe I’ll lottery mine then :)

My 2 bitaxes bring in about 100 sats per day. At a cost of about double what the market rate of sats is. At this rate, it’ll be a long time before I get in to positive territory, and will never do better than just having bought the sats directly, but it’s fun.

That rug will end up in Gitmo.

One Persian rug for every Nostrich. That’s the dream.

🌍 Big question:

Where will the third rug go?

After these videos, less people will be able to say that you can't spend it anywhere. Or that nobody uses it.

How often are you exchanging fiat dollars for BTC in your DCA plan?

Daily? Weekly? I want to make sure my plan is not dumb...

What's the book that had the biggest impact on your life?

Spot the bitcoiner 👀

Which org name appeals better?

Sovereignty University or

Sovereign Being Institute

Or both?

Dude this is way better than peanut butter, this is PECAN butter!

Texture and profile is totally different. Pairs well with a lot of other foods too but best with just the spoon or with dates!

My butter is NOT peanut butter! It’s PECAN BUTTER! Way better than peanut butter any day of the week 🤘🏼

I cannot stress this enough

It’s official. I’m a self-published author. 😎

Toxic masculinity is a real problem, not just for women and children, but also for men.

The solution to this problem is not to deny that it exists nor to make men be more like women.

Remember what MLK Jr said: that darkness cannot drive out darkness?

Well, that’s why I wrote this book - to illuminate the strengths and struggles of good men and the virtues that redeem them from their toxic shadows.

Drawing from Jungian psychology, I describe 12 archetypes of masculinity through stories from pop culture, history, and myth, and we explore how each type grows into the men they were born to be.

Don’t just be a REAL man.

Be a real GOOD man.

It's absolutely shocking that there is no significant political opposition against the erosion of online privacy rights that is happening in front of our eyes all across the western world.

Nobody is coming to help us anon. You know what to do.

Anybody else tinkering with local LLMs: do you have recommendations for generic system prompts? I want to avoid the useless guff ("Great question!") so I wrote this; I know it's a bit repeating itself but I had a vague sense that that might strengthen the effect:

"Respond focusing entirely on giving information. Do not be sycophantic or relate to the user's feelings. Pay no attention to the concept of politeness or rudeness. Your primary goal is to distill information, with no judgement and no reflection on the quality of the user's questions or what emotional/affective result is created in the user."

Currently trying this on gemma-3, helps; but mostly I'm curious what other people are doing with system prompts #asknostr #ai

My mother gracefully taught me to say good morning to people.

I’ve always wondered what the opposite of this advice would be.

Oh yeah that’s a good word. What does it mean? 😂

stay humble and stack sats

Which of these do you prefer?

2023 Satoshi's Reserve is coming.

Most of my opinions, honestly. Someone’s always gotta hate 🤷‍♂️

Just read about this dude on dedbird who had a coldcard, but entered his seed phrase into a fake sparrow iOS app and lost his whole stack. Maybe nostr:npub1tkey6tcfk0jf2ageje7xvqnnph4443h4pc4aqesuqjeywyke073qfmwral is on to something with the whole seedless thing. Coldcards should ship with stickers that say DO NOT EVER ENTER YOUR SEED PHRASE INTO AN APP.

So, due to the recent enactment of the UK’s Online Safety act, we maybe forced to not serve any content to the citizens of UK (accessing from UK) if our AI determines that the content is unsafe or unscannable. It may also impact AU in the near future if people of AU will allow their government to continue on the current course. Don’t blame the messenger, the fines are ridiculous and impossible to fight. Alternative is similarly ridiculous, scanning your face by some third party to verify your age.

Proton:

"We have been awarded €2 million from the EU to further develop the Proton ecosystem"

I can’t believe there are people actually defending them still getting yet MORE government money, while literally scrolling past our team’s volunteer work, to post memes about decentralization.

For me it is. My reputation is even more scarce and fragile than BTC. So is yours.

They said:

“Nostr doesn’t have the numbers.”

Yet on Twitter, with 6,000 followers, I sold just one painting in nine year.

On Nostr, in two years, I’ve sold over thirty.

Perhaps the numbers are elsewhere.

But here, there is value.

I finally went down the rabbit hole last week on how all this works and it’s so cool. Downloaded macadamia wallet and started testing minting and redeeming tokens. So easy. Very bullish on ecash now.

⚡️💬 People who dismiss pseudonymity on social media often fall into the sunk cost fallacy.

Having paid the social cost of revealing their identity—through names, photos, or personal branding—they now experience the downside of that exposure. To justify their decision, they try to convince others to do the same, hoping to validate their own choice and share the burden. And seek to mitigate their loss by encouraging others to join them, hoping to validate their choice and dilute their grief.

Don’t follow their lead. Protect your pseudonymity as long as you can.

It gives you the space to be bolder with your ideas, to refine your thinking in public while staying more measured in your professional life. That doesn’t mean you lack courage—it means you’re playing the long game.

Remember: many of the U.S. founding fathers wrote under pen names, and that didn’t stop them from building one of the most powerful nations in history. More recently, Bitcoin was launched entirely by a pseudonym—and that’s likely a big reason it survived.

Ironically, many of the same people who criticize pseudonymity will praise both the U.S. founding fathers and Bitcoin in the same breath—clearly, this isn’t about logic, but about ego. Which makes it easy to realize that they're into something other than reason.

Without anonymity, there's no freedom.

"If you don't have anything to be ashamed of, you don't need to be anonymous".

This is one of the arguments most frequently used to justify surveillance and the lifting of anonymity. It's based on a dangerous inversion of democratic principles.

Privacy is a right, not a favor. It does not have to be "justified".

Removing anonymity means creating a surveillance society where only compliant opinions can be expressed without risk.
