I feel like something like this would only fragment the community. It would be viewed as a centralized authority and gatekeeper by many, regardless of what role it actually plays. Just being a non-profit does not make it good by default or remove the negative influences of money.
The verbosity is what makes me hate it.
For anyone wondering what I'm referring to, last night there was a very unfortunate typo on the plebchain radio announcement for guest speaker Eliza. Then someone came along and called her out over some old Twitter drama. The dev drama this morning appears to be about forking the protocol. Spicy!
I'm more curious about longer text posts. I get suspicious when I see 1000 word notes.
Is anyone leveraging the power of #AI to increase the efficiency and quality of their shitposts?
Either that or when they became a Bitcoin maxi.
Yeah well you make me have an involuntary physical reaction too.
Only way to get my fizzy drink fix without calories or chemicals. The brand I get is about $0.25 a can at Costco and cheaper than bottled water!
Thanks!
The nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 team recently asked around what markes they should expand to and I suggested Germany. Their service looks great, and to my knowledge, we don't have a lot of market activity here regarding crypto. I was surprised stupid when I saw what gift cards bitrefill offered - kinda insane - but also great! But other than that, I *think* Coindesk operates here - after all, it is said that the EZB has crypto reserves, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was some form of exchange here.
I will look into robosats, - it sounds like an interesting solution!
As I use Bitcoin et cetera more of a side-project-thing, I am not too worried about KYC; if I can reduce it, great - but if I can not, it's fine. The more the better, but we all know about the balance between convenience <-> privacy.
Again, thanks for all the pointers! ^.^
You're welcome 😁
Believing in God is a counterparty risk.
Oh no those poor oppressed Christians.
You would have to find an exchange that operates in Germany. I'm in the US so I can't speak to the specifics of your jurisdiction. If Strike operates there I can recommend them as they will accept your Bitcoin deposit via lightning. Most exchanges have not implemented lightning so it would be a more complicated process to make a deposit. Kraken is another option.
You would probably have to give them a bunch of identity information regardless and then deposit the Bitcoin and sell it through their interface, then have them send the Euros to your bank account. There would likely be fees for selling and withdrawing.
You could also bypass some of this by selling on a p2p exchange like bisq or robosats. You can avoid a lot of red tape this way, but it's not as straightforward. I haven't used them ever, but there are plenty of explainers if you search. You may be able to sell them for a higher amount this way as these are non-KYC options and people pay a premium for that.
Personally I have never sold my Bitcoin for fiat, I only sell my fiat for Bitcoin. If you have any more questions I'm happy to answer and use the asknostr hashtag.
You can buy gift cards at https://www.bitrefill.com/ and skip converting it to fiat which comes with KYC bullshit and tax implications.
I like button lock knives. My brother got really into knives for a bit and sent me some. The button lock with loose action is my favorite. Might get into modding them someday myself.
Are the comments and reactions I make to notes from Mastadon users visible to them?
If you’ve read “The Sovereign Individual” it won’t be hard for you to imagine that the world map is likely to look similar to this once again.

Hyper-Balkanization is coming (hopefully without too much war).
