Lucifer help me
The seed oil "cause of every disease" people are straight up lunatics. No matter how much I purge, my feed is still always peppered by them.
They're spineless. Clown behavior.
Playing with Gossip again. I much prefer it to using nostr on the browser. The only thing that comes even close is noStrudel.
I can set much higher PoW settings on Gossip though since it uses all cores/threads π
The "general public" is incredibly stupid.
I don't see how self-custody in its current state is even feasible for 90% of the population.
We're talking about the same people who would go buy gift cards to pay "the IRS" when someone with an indian accent calls them.
We already see the shitcoin space and how retarded people can be with a) financial decisions but more importantly b) with securing their keys. And that sample of idiots is above average when it comes to tech literacy.
Things like Bitkey that abstract securing the private key away from you are a good first step but even that isn't idiot proof.
Is the average joe doomed to rely on custodians due to their own stupidity? Bitcoin isn't fiat, there is no undo button or a bank to eat the loss.
Someone sent me a random (non trivial) amount of Tether on Liquid on a test wallet I was playing with
I never even posted an address
Oof
I was just going to play with it since it looked kinda smart how they use bip-85 with the Jade for LN but I'll reconsider π
Oh, I thought you actually lost the 400K sats and not just having liquidity issues. Wouldn't you just be able to close the channel onchain anyway?
A Jade appeared with a whole BTC in it.
But it's on Liquid and none of the federation members would let me peg out.
~Ende~
Wait, what's the story behind this? Which wallet?
Still hoping for a ~20k retest before 2024 ends to stack more bargain sats
depends on payments methods and currency pairs but I've seen anywhere from 3% to much, much higher.
idk though, I have limited experience with it.
While praising another tyrannical government (cough, Russia, cough).
Spineless grifters don't get my support. These vermin have no actual principles.
If you don't support American imperialism, you wouldn't support Russian imperialism, or Chinese authoritarianism, or the Gaza genocide...
Poor inverted somalia
Couldn't even get the star right πΏ π
Friendly reminder that Aqua is fucking fantastic and you should give it a try: https://aquawallet.io
Also slightly controversial opinion but Liquid+swaps > e-cash for any amount >2000 sats when it comes to usability.
I'd rank things:
Self-custody BTC/LN > Liquid+LN swaps* > e-cash** > custodial LN**
* self-custody but permissioned network - kinda workable for zaps >2k given the new 0.01sat/vb rates.
** no self-custody
If you think I'm retarded for thinking this pls let me know & why

Can the weather kinda chill I don't have AC here pls
I'm SOGGY. I never thought that term would describe me.
Gotta love traditional banking where a correspondent bank that you have zero relation with can casually skim a 60 USD fee on a SWIFT transfer (that took two weeks to arrive) π₯°π₯°π₯°
If you're wondering... it's a 4 figure sum, peanuts. Madness.
