HODLer claiming to have 5000 BTC verifies a wallet with 500 BTC from 2010.

Bitcoin signed messages are WAY under-utilised. I plan to change this.

How would that even be possible? That’s a core part of how the protocol works…

When I was 5 my mom was taking me to my friend's house. She drove a VW bug. The old metal ones not the 2000s apple computer looking ones. I'm the backseat the seatbelts didn't work so she only ever let me sit in the front.

I walked outside to get in the car and a beautiful woman in a flowing white dress was floating in front of me. Her hair was waving all around as if she was underwater. And she told me not to get in the car.

So I had a temper tantrum. And I asked my mom if we could walk. And she said no. But she did let me lay down in the backseat which again she would never let me do.

We got 2 blocks from our house when a dominoes pizza truck hit us. Or car went spinning. All I could see was a blur. Then suddenly the windshield spiderwebbed out and we stopped between a light pole and the crosswalk pole on the corner of the street. Perfectly in-between where the best of parallel partners wouldn't even be able to get it in that tight.

Turns out the windshield spiderwebbed because my mom's head hit the steering wheel so hard and it knocked her glasses into the back seat with me. She got out and dragged me out then saw her glasses and took them.

The passenger side of the car where is normally be sitting was smashed in to the gear shift. But my mom only hurt her back and I got a concussion and broke my ankle. 🤷🏽

We know the real reason, but what could possibly be the public justification for requiring this?

What do you mean without choosing a key pair?

Wow. 2.50€ was the price 15 years ago. The same thing is probably $12 I

"5% inflation" explained 😉

Is there a README.md for this concept. I’m too lazy to run a lighting node. I do run a BTC node and have a miner on order, but lighting seems like a real PITA to run

Well said. I agree 100%.

But it seems to confirm what I’m saying. If most people are ok being the product, then why would #nostr see mass adoption?

What’s something you learned that completely changed how you saw everything?

I’ll start:

When I found out that being healthy and losing weight wasn’t about spending hours exercising & running miles every day, but that 90% of the battle was just about removing horrifically unhealthy (and very normalized) chemical substitute, grain heavy, “fat free”, and sugar packed foods - but was just about getting back to the basics and animal based fats. Everything else is crazy easy after you do that.

Then to add, that your mood, depression, energy levels, are also SO insanely dependent on that same problem.

What was one of yours?

Run it again

This seems like a pretty profound weakness in #nostr. Social media apps like Facebook, Twitter, etc. gained massive adoption because they were “free” to use. If your content gets deleted after a month because you aren’t paying money, I think this will definitely prevent mass adoption. Am I wrong? #asknostr #grownostr

Whenever you feel dumb, just remember that there are people who bought negative-yielding bonds.

Hmmm. I actually think it's sensible to not want a perma-housewife.

"Housewife", in the sense of a woman who does not help generate any income. This is useful, at the beginning when she's focused on becoming a mother and establishing a household, but most couples find some way for her to bring in a bit of cash, work part-time, or become more involved in managing family businesses or trading, at some later point, and that seems in keeping with Proverbs 31.

I think the conversation should move away from housewife/careerwife and toward having one major breadwinner (usually the husband) and the other person being financially compensated within the marriage.
