✽ 700 SATS RAFFLE ✽

The follower count doesn’t really matter here on #nostr, but I’m grateful to see 700 of you following me - thanks fam!

I joined Nostr about three months ago, and it’s been quite an interesting journey. There’s so much to learn that it can feel overwhelming at times, but I genuinely enjoy the challenge.

For those who don’t know me, I’m a photographer with 15 years of experience. I used to travel extensively, touring with bands and doing documentary work, but that aspect of my life has changed for various reasons, and I miss it dearly. Some of the photographs I share come from those trips.

My work revolves around color, line, shadow play, absurdity, and humor - essentially, life itself. I focus on subjects and objects that might be overlooked by others, finding beauty in the most unexpected places. Ultimately, it’s the light that guides my vision.

✽ To celebrate this small milestone, I’m raffling off 700 sats to one lucky pleb ✽

To enter:

1. Follow me

2. Repost this note

3. Leave a comment on your favorite photo

I’ll randomly select a winner this Friday.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me along the way - it means a lot!

Of all the things Bitcoin does…

Allowing me to spend time with my children while still being ambitious and growing wealth for the family is number one with a bullet.

Before bitcoin I would have had to spend so much time away from the family in order to earn money.

My kids wouldn’t have known me.

Thank god for Bitcoin.

this seems true enough, but it's important to remark (hint, nostr:npub1tm2048gau5mp8u5kfnxk68y7wzzpv5ggpuluqmhlhrtaldl49kzs7elpna) that this is an effect or _wealth_, not _money_.

The same effect can be achieved via lots of fiat wealth.

Put differently, a better monetary system can't replicate this result for everyone

(unless bitcoin makes the world wealthier in real terms—probable and possible, but not by _that_ much)

1.01^365 = 37.78

If you make one percent progress every day, you’ll be 37x further in a year

1.02^365 = 1,377

If you are 2% better every day, you’ll be 1377 times better after a year

1.05^365 = 54,211,841

If you make 5% progress every day, you’ll be 54 million times further after a year

those who grind hard can make way more progress than those who grind a little. Lock in. Keep grinding.

Record year for us, never shipped as many hardware wallets.

Doubled the warehouse capacity, still behind. Still made and shipped from Canada.

A fuck ton of new paranoid crypto anarchists were minted.

Mind blown.

Smart people get Keto/Carnivore.

Good morning! It's January 3rd, which means its not your keys, not your coins day.

Unfortunately, this year the EU has decided to make withdrawing from exchanges a hell of a lot harder by extending FATF's Travel Rule to digital assets.

The FATF Travel Rule is not just a remarkable shitshow for your financial privacy and security – it's also a law to which authorities appear to have no data on its effectiveness to prevent financial crime.

What this means for you: If you want to withdraw funds exceeding €1.000, you'll need to prove that you own the address you are intending to withdraw to to your custodian.

It also means that exchanges are required to forward your personal information, including things like your name and address, to any custodian you are transacting with, and that an exchange may collect information on whom you are sending funds to and whom you are receiving funds from.

The Travel Rule does not just make withdrawing from exchanges harder, as custodians will need to employ third party software, employ a signing protocol like AOPP, or have you conduct a micro transaction to the custodian before making your transfer.

It also poses an incredible risk to your financial privacy and security, as your KYC info will not just be stored with a custodian you trust, but with any custodian you transact with – increasing the risks of hacks and identity theft.

In its current form, the Travel Rule has been mandatory in tradfi in the EU since 2012 – But nobody seems to know whether it actually works to prevent money laundering or not.

That's why I filed a FOIA request with German authorities last month, requesting data on all money laundering convictions in Germany since 2008.

Interestingly, the Ministry of the Interior responsible for national security and overseeing Germany's law enforcement, responded that it had no such information - instead asking me to file FOIA Requests with the German Ministry of Finance, the German Customs Authority, as well as with every public prosecutors office...

...which means that the updated Travel Rule is the extension of a law to whichs effectiveness law enforcement appears to have no data.
