I think THNDR Games are trying to teach you the importance of custodianship by stealing your sats from time to time. ๐
#Bitcoin
Reuters reported earlier this morning that Visa and Mastercard are pausing their respective "crypto pushes" due to fears about the regulatory uncertainty that looms over the industry after the year of epic grift collapses in 2022. Their source for Visa was someone who preferred to remain anonymous, but it seems that they were able to get a Mastercard spokesperson on record to comment on the rumors, which they seemed to confirm. Not only did the Mastercard spokesperson confirm that they have decided to hit the brakes on any foray into "crypto", they rolled out a trope from 2015 that any corporation should be embarrassed to utter in 2023, "We're bullish on the underlying blockchain technology."

Underlying technology. ๐
A blockchain is useless without decentralization and hash power.
And it has to support something virtual with rules and no ruler.

Last week I was in Leeds, England and tried to organize a #bitcoin meetup. A city of 1.5 million people a not a single sign up. ๐ณ
Iโm not well known in the UK, Iโve lived in #Switzerland for over 20 years, but I know how to run meetups, I run a meetup in Zรผrich once every 2 weeks including several presentations a year. More bitcoin activity is needed in the UK.
The UK needs to be more bitcoin friendly, we need to ๐ ๐ (local) politicians so we can have a more balanced bitcoin debate and start getting friendly regulations in place.
Is there a Bitcoin association in the UK ๐ฌ๐ง like there is in Switzerland ๐จ๐ญ? bitcoinassociation.ch - I think associations like this also help with debate and bringing bitcoiners, nocoiners and detractors together.
Hereโs to a brighter bitcoin future globally ๐๐
Just paste it in. Damus does the rest. ๐๐ผ
What a lovely thing to say thank you. Would love to return the compliment but I have no idea who you are. ๐๐๐
Actually, are you the same username on Twitter?
And so good it came twice, so double thanks! ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
Itโs very cool how nostr displays lightning invoices!! ๐๐ผ
