as you might know ,the samourai stack is probably the single most important tool, why I still use bitcoin as p2p electronic cash. their ideology is very close to my believes.

while still young project, i am very bullish on ashigaru. it's easily my most used on chain wallet.

nevertheless there are some other great wallets and a few promising new ones.

bitcoin is a great hobby.

tell me how. step by step.

You keep losing yourself in Monero vs Bitcoin bullshit without paying attention to what I'm saying, I don't have to waste any more time, you Monero supporters are stupid for the most part.

Its possible to buy a house or rent a house with Monero, you can buy a car, also possible.

As you wrote all Bitcoiners which KYC'd coins are screwed now.

Monero's circular economy is growing and growing. You can see the acceptance growing on any place where they accept cryptos.

You haven't understood anything then.

Can you buy a car or a house with Monero? Monero is good for the same as bitcoin without kyc to buy a soda.

No monero does not solve this.

This is the current situation.

- You buy something with Bitcoin:

In most countries you have to pay vat and in addition capital gains between the difference of buying and selling Bitcoin if you have made a profit.

This is an approximate 20% + 20% (of the profit) (It depends on each country).

- You sell Bitcoin:

You pay between 20% and 30% of the profit (Depending on country).

You have a lot of Bitcoin:

In some countries you will pay wealth tax.

You have a lot of unrealized gains:

In many countries they are trying to apply this, soon we will have the first country to do so.

If you have bought bitcoin with KYC you are screwed, the exchanges will end up passing all the data to the states and their respective tax offices.

If you have non-kyc bitcoin you can only use it to buy a soda, if you use it to buy a car or a house they will accuse you of money laundering, drug trafficking or whatever they want.

And you think bitcoiners have won? You can go to a country that has more lax tax regulations but tax havens are becoming increasingly difficult.

You have to try to make Bitcoin legal tender, and to do this you have to use your Bitcoin, and you have to accept Bitcoin as payment, only by creating a large black market where you do not have to pay taxes you can bend the state, otherwise your Bitcoin will only enrich the state.

During all these years the HODL strategy has been totally wrong, while we have carried out HODL the states have encircled us.

We came here for freedom.

i spent the last couple of days analyzing other bitcoin podcasts, trying to understand why they get more listeners

the short obvious explanation: they are less technical, more approachable to the masses

the more in-depth explanation: they paint a narrative of "bitcoin vs them".

for example, tales from the crypt is hardly distinguishable from other american conservative shows like tucker carlson's or alex jones' - the major difference is that it inserts bitcoin in the middle of issues as the solution that fixes them.

another example is peter mccormack's show, which admittedly is not about bitcoin anymore. but it does dive into politics and follows certain trends that are popular, while also inserting bitcoin into the conversation as a potential solution.

in stephan livera's case, the narrative is more along the lines of "bitcoin vs cbdcs" or "bitcoin vs the fed". it's a tried and true libertarian plot that seems to work since 2011 or so.

other shows also go deep into the "bitcoin vs vc-funded shitcoins" dichotomy, emphasizing on points about immaculate conception while ignoring any possible criticism that can be addressed to bitcoin. it's simply perfect, no point in ever trying to improve anything.

in comparison, i approach topics from the perspective of my own curiosity and explore technical matters in a way that helps me understand them. the approach is selfish, i know. but it also attracts the kind of audience that i like and to which i can relate.

will the bitcoin takeover podcast become political and start following popular mainstream narratives just to attract a wider audience? no, i'm not interested in any of that. but sometimes it's a little bit frustrating to notice that the growth is slower than my expectations. there's definitely an increase in views/downloads all across the board, but it doesn't really go "viral" in the space.

anyway, i'll just keep going and hope that people in the space get smarter and more interested in finding out what's new and/or understanding how some technical aspects work.

now i know what i'm doing wrong, but i'm not sure it's that "wrong".

/THANK/ you 🙏

I AM A PROUD CASHU SHILL SINCE DAY ONE WHEN CALLE ASKED IF ANYONE WANTED TO LOSE ALL THEIR MONEY SENDING TOKENS VIA DM TO NPUBS

I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST NPUBS TO ZAP ON NOSTR USING MINIBITS LN ADDRESS BRIDGE

CASHU SOLVES THE PRECOINER PROBLEM OF HOW TO IMMEDIATELY RECEIVE ZAPS KYC FREE AS A NOSTR NATIVE BITCOINER

CASHU SOLVES STACKING THE NOSTR NATIVE 100K SAT HURDLE THAT EXISTS BEFORE BEING ABLE TO OPEN A SELF CUSTODY LN CHANNEL WITH LSP MINIMUM

CASHU IS GOOD

They said bitcoin was a scam, that lightning wouldn't work, that nostr was too hard and that cashu would rug you

Meanwhile they buy the etf, never spend, get suspended on x and have to be kyc'd to get a subscription payout in dollars

Sure you can, wait for their tainted and clean coin scenario

Weird, I can still transact BTC without anyone's permission. I didn't even realize it was captured.
