When I was 20 years old I thought science fiction and fantasy were the same thing.
To be fair, in Greek we call it epistimoniki fantasia, επιστημονική φαντασία, which means scientific fantasy.
I joined the Athens Science Fiction Club (ALEF) and talked to trad-published greek authors and quickly learned that fantasy and sci-fi are nothing alike.
I am now 40 years old, I've outsold all those authors combined, and I now know once again that science fiction and fantasy are the same.
Never lose your childlike wonder.

Spellslinger Girls
Witches wear boots. Guns cast spells. And Caldera Hex just grew a new wand.
When a gang of outlaws blows open a hex-sealed train safe, Caldera is the only one left standing, and the only one marked by what was inside.
She’s a bounty hunter, a spell-slinger, and now… something more.
With a throbbing new curse between her legs and a list of enemies who want her dead or broken, Caldera rides into a scorched frontier teeming with twisted magic, ancient machines, and Riders from the edge of legend.
One step behind prophecy. One step ahead of damnation.
In this violent, erotically charged world of gunsmoke and grit, Spellslinger Girls blends raw desire, brutal action, and flintlock fantasy into a story where the line between loving and fighting blurs with every spell cast.
Grab the debut installment of this fast-paced, magically charged adventure for only $4.99 ebook and $3.99 during the sale. Even less if you grab the bundle from Amazon.

Spam is such a big problem on the internet that most of us webmasters have had to shut down forums and close comments on our blogs.
It's why I've been so excited for lightning used as a spam filter, even though I haven't seen an implementation yet outside of stacker news.
Spam is wasting hundreds of manhours with moderators and resources.
If I choose to filter ordinals and other spam transactions from my mining template, I have every right to do it. You can just go to another miner and send your transaction, they'll be happy to accept the sats.
Permissionless does not mean anarchy. You have every right to spam the protocol, I have every right to filter it because you're wasting my time and resources.
I won't run the ord disrespector only because the guys promoting it are deranged spooks and because it's untested code.
But if the next bitcoin core version filters out a huge chunk of spam, I'll run it.
We need opt-in discovery algorithms on nostr. The feed is not working well.
I want to work with bitcoin businesses but many are plebstores, meaning amateur ones. Which is fine but the level of Dunning-Kruger effect is starting to grate on me.
Yes you need a fucking newsletter.
Yes you need a fucking blog.
Yes you need to do fucking sales. Sales are not fiat.
FFS.
I'm here if you need a marketing agency.
I believe at some point even unspendable utxos will be able to be offered as collateral.
It's the same with gold.
Let's say you have a small golden nugget. Getting it verified might cost half of its price. But if you show it to someone, thus proving that you own it, they might consider the risk acceptable and lend you the money.
Bitcoin can be verified with a simple wallet signature and even if it can't move on-chain due to high fees, it's still there.
I think microlending services will happily take them. Perhaps even with accepting the seed words themselves in case of liquidation.
That doesn't mean that you shouldn't consolidate your utxos when the fees are low. I'm just saying it will become so valuable that people will find a way to use even the smallest bit.
I asked btcpayserver about an easy way to run it, basically you either run it on your own node, which is troublesome. And there's the option of running it on a hosted server, like voltage cloud or lunanode. They recommended lunanode.
A nostr dev told me that at some point we should be able to reroll an nsec. Not sure how but cryptography allows for that.

Oh no I'm fine with bigger blocks, we'll eventually need them after 20 more years or so.
I think I'm being reasonable and calm and then someone tells me bitcoin doesn't have enough throughput to handle as many transactions as BNB has and I go into rant mode.
I gifted 1000 sats to a woman that came to a meetup months ago, asking about lightning. I considered them wasted, just like I usually do. But I was happy to hear when she met me again that she invested more into bitcoin.
You never know.

Blue wallet has a very neat feature.
When you give someone an address so they can pay you, you can just copy the address itself, go to new wallet, give it a name, import, paste the address.
That will create a watch-only "wallet" on which you can see all the transactions and check to see if the people paid you at a glance.
And all that makes it so much easier to check if the payments came through and despair.
Whichever you're comfortable with. Umbrel is great for newbies, I use raspiblitz. For advanced nodes you can get a start 9 labs server with the coupon code LOVEISBITCOIN for 9% off.
Controversial opinion:
Prepare to lose your bitcoin.
I believe that almost everybody will eventually lose their entire stack.
Hodlers will get rekt. FIRE and early retirement, travel the world guys will get rekt. Some bug in a popular wallet, some seed generation algorithm will be reverse engineered like milk sad, or any other random way that will compromise your seed words and make you lose your sats.
Prepare for that.
Have alternative storing options, preferably on metal plate with no multisig nonsense or anything else. Just drop 1 million sats on a wallet that you've generated with randomness and leave them there.
Have cashflow to recover. Ideally from online businesses.
Have a network of bitcoiners that will be willing to help you get hired again, to trade with you, to support you.
I think we'll only start seeing more and more of this as price goes up and incentives to trick people are increasing.
The point is to put yourself in a position to get some of it back immediately, not to hoard sats.
Running a node is the only way to have a vote in the bitcoin system. For example, my node will never run drivechains, even if they manage to do get through.
The right to vote in the bitcoin protocol is analogous to being a citizen in Ancient Athens. Not all were citizens, and (unfairly) all were male, contributing members of the Athenian society. There were slaves and people born elsewhere that didn't have citizen rights. And anyone going against the city-state was ostracized, but that's not possible in bitcoin.
The analogy still stands, because the Athenian citizen had to stay informed on current events, matters of the state and had to vote on various issues. That's why democracy worked, not because everyone voted, but because the voters were mainly valuable citizens.
Back to bitcoin, it seems we're creating the same sort of governance. Informed noderunners get a vote, people who leave the thinking to others do not get one.
It's a sort of democracy of 17.000 noderunners and it's messy but it works so far. And it's the only way to sustain one.
There is no problem, the user is just confused. You're right you just load the seed words in a other wallet.
I'm patient but I'm not wasting my time convincing people that don't care enough to learn. There are so many people out there thirsty for knowledge, desperate to figure out bitcoin and learn the truth.
Why would I bother with people laughing at me and being condescending when I have entire classes full of students demanding I teach them what I know?
Go where you're welcome. There are people who get you out there, just keep trying.
Nonsense. Coldcards get bricked all the time. This problem could happen to any hardware wallet. But I don't think my trezor stops me from using it without an update, it depends on the specific program.
I was just teaching this yesterday to my students. Your wallet is not tied to the software or the device. You can just load bluewallet on your phone, import the seeds and gain access to your funds. Just know that they're now exposed to a hot wallet so it's best to send the coins to another cold storage wallet.
While I don't recommend ledger, the issue this guy had can happen to any device and it will keep happening as years go by.
So now I have to pay for X subscriptions for my personal and my business accounts. I have to pay relays on nostr. And I have to run ads for visibility on Facebook and Instagram.
Great.
Lovely.
Social media gone to shit.
Your mind will be under attack.
Don't try and memorize your seed words.
Put your keys in some sort of physical barrier even from yourself. Some sort of physical lock and key, a vault, anything that can put a real delay.
The onslaught of psychological attacks that we're about to witness in the next decades will be insane.
Imagine targeted psyops aided by AI and chatgpt. Entire social media accounts, entire websites created just to make you part from your coins.
You think it won't happen?
We can even do this right now. It's just not worth the time and effort. The cost is too much. But when bitcoin will be worth over 1 million dollars and cost per attack will be wittled down to pennies with AI, you will see it everywhere.
They will use psychological manipulation in ways you've never imagined. Your ex-girlfriend's photos can be used to generate AI catfishes that subconsciously remind you of her, even her voice can be sampled.
Your mentors, the same. Every like you've ever made, every comment, every video you've watched can be parsed into new specialized, deepfaked gurus and you'll be amazed at how each word they utter will speak to your soul.
You think it won't happen? You're just not worth it.
Yet.
I have an interesting dilemma. There's an AI generated piece I really like that would work great for an ebook cover art I'm writing. But I didn't make it. But AI art can't be copyrighted, that's the sentiment so far.
So can I just use it? Or not?
