TO WHOM DOES THE GIFT BELONG

One day the Buddha was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him, hurling all kinds of rude words at him, intended to ridicule and demean him.

The Buddha was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man, “Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?”

The young man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, “It would belong to me, because I bought the gift.”

The Buddha smiled and said, “That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself.”

Remember, Sunday is for plebs here on Nostr Report. Thank you to #[0] - cofounder of the #Nodestrich group - for contributing this Sunday Op-Ed. Enjoy!

Bitcoin for Bunnies 🐰🕳️

By

#[2]

This is the debut of Bitcoin for Bunnies. 🐰🕳️ It’s like the “For Dummies” series, but it's for people just starting their journey down the rabbit hole. It’s a never-ending ride, and new bitcoin users are multiplying like rabbits, so hop on in and let’s get started!

Self-custody on Lightning is hard. Setting up a web server to create a NIP-57 zap-compatible LNURL/Lightning Address? No way, man! That's why most people begin with custodial wallets. They're great for onboarding yourself, your friends, and family, but this is only a stepping stone into the larger world of becoming a self-sovereign bitcoiner. Self custody is not something to learn how to do down the road, because by that point it may be too late.

Last week, we saw the risks in only using custodial wallets, with repeated Wallet of Satoshi outages, and Thursday’s announcement that BlueWallet is shutting down its custodial node, which caught a lot of people by surprise. NYKNYC (Not your keys, not your carrots…er, cheese!) still matters in Lightning, so remember to only keep small balances in custodial wallets, move anything you don't want to risk to cold storage, and learn how to run your own Lightning node, along with the associated risks of doing so.

Remember that you're not alone in this journey, and most of the people around you are at a stage in the process that you've either been through, or may soon be ready for. Ask questions, stay curious, share what you've learned, and don't trust, verify.

There are some great resources you can use to build your knowledge.

#Nodestrich is a community of noderunners on Nostr at all levels, learning from each other:

https://nodestrich.com/

#[4] has a YouTube channel full of educational videos:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChzLnWVsl3puKQwc5PoO6Zg

#[5] has a Substack of in-depth Bitcoin Guides:

https://darthcoin.substack.com/

#[6] writes some of the best essays on bitcoin you’ll ever read:

You’ve reached the tail end. Keep burrowing, friends!
