Genius idea. Would be a fan of this.
Dear NOSTR community. Please can you help with a fight for freedom of movement?
In London there’s a team of people called Blade Runners who are taking down ULEZ cameras to charge drivers every time they enter London.
What we need is something like Waze maps or Google maps with a blade-runner plug in showing it’s safe to enter the capital without being charged.
But Waze and Google maps are centrally controlled so the authorities would just shut them down.
So we need a decentralised version of Waze maps. And generally we need this for freedom of movement everywhere.
Who can help?
Quick estimation of Bitcoin price potential based on millionaires jumping on board.
There are 56,000 Millionaires in the world with a collective wealth of $191 Trillion. For ease of calculation, let’s round that up to $200 Trillion.
Let’s say that each Millionaire decides to put 1% to 5% of their wealth into Bitcoin.
Then $2 Trillion to $10 Trillion goes into Bitcoin.
Ignoring supply pressure at the margin of lost coins and HODLers who won’t sell at any price, That’s 4x to 20x todays price.
But the analysis is too simplistic because just a few billionaires investing heavily would make a significant impact on the price.
Keep stacking.
Leftism is obviously dumb. But all politicians are dumb socialists these days. The Tories wasted their majority on socialism. The U.K. needs to rein in the state and allow freedom and free enterprise to re-emerge. Until then, politics is an irrelevant side show distracting you from the debasement and theft of your money. You can opt out by studying #bitcoin.

Does anyone actually have any good arguments against Bitcoin. I just see easy-to-refute articles like this. https://fpif.org/the-crypto-populist-pyramid-scam/
A friend just repaid me from money I lent him back in September 2022 that I would otherwise have just put into Bitcoin. So I bought BTC with it. Delighted to have the BTC and a friend still. A tiny bit frustrated I would have 40% more BTC today but didn’t have the heart to explain life under a Bitcoin standard to him. But it’s a small glimpse into how things will work when everything loses value over the long term when measured against Bitcoin and why really you shouldn’t lend it out.
Leveraging and Bitcoin can be a controversial topic. Would love feedback from bitcoiners. I have to remortgage a couple of investment properties. Should I max out the loan and invest the capital I can free up into Bitcoin? The return from the properties will always pay the interest on the loan. Saylor would say yes. How about you all?
How long did it take you to realise the link between NOSTR and DAMUS. I will be honest, it took me a few days…!
When you put it like this, it is devastating.
My wife is telling me the electricity cost of my slow cooker making beef bone broth means it’s probably cheaper to buy. But mine is definitely better. No question….
Does anyone know how to connect a Trezor or a ledger to Umbrel running Bitcoin core and lightning node. I’ve tried Sparrow and Specter and can’t get it working. Maybe also can’t see the same Umbrel dashboard as on the Btcsessions youtube videos but deeply frustrating.
