“Every time I hear a political speech or I read those of our leaders, I am horrified at having, for years, heard nothing which sounded human.
It is always the same words telling the same lies.
And the fact that men accept this, that the people’s anger has not destroyed these hollow clowns, strikes me as proof that men attribute no importance to the way they are governed; that they gamble – yes, gamble – with a whole part of their life and their so called 'vital interests.'"
~ Albert Camus

Agree. IMHO we are too soon for Strategic Reserve.
Still a massive education job on all things bitcoin related ahead of us - not least of all is deprogramming all the Keynesian economics the normies have been gaslit with for decades.
This is going to take some time and patience.
“We can keep ourselves so busy, fill our lives with so many diversions, stuff our heads with so much knowledge, involve ourselves with so many people and cover so much ground that we never have time to probe the fearful and wonderful world within… By middle life most of us are accomplished fugitives from ourselves.”

"What does the money machine eat? It eats youth, spontaneity, life, beauty, and, above all, it eats creativity. It eats quality and shits quantity."

"The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.”

“There is an eerie sense of Panic in the air, a silent Fear and Uncertainty that comes with once-reliable faiths and truths and solid Institutions that are no longer safe to believe in...
There is a Presidential Election, right on schedule, but somehow there is no President.”

Takes a moment but I use the “transporting a chest full of gold from one castle to another - through hostile territory”.
One way transport to Castle “B” with my padlock 🔒 - then back to me (Castle “A”) with their padlock 🔒on the chest. Then I remove my padlock 🔓 and send it back to Castle “B”.
Thoughts on that?
Lazy Sundays… stack-em, merge-em, channel-em. 
Be at peace… 
Yes 👍 lightning payouts are available on Ocean but require the ability to receive via Bolt12. One of the simplest ways to implement Bolt12 is using nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll software for your node and Core Lightning for your channels.

Great show as always nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 thank you for the #bitcoinwell sat! Can’t wait for the next tutorial - Keep up the great work!! 
PSA - consolidate those stack and open those channels.
Here is the rabbit hole of all things battery charger related. I’d call this guy the “Lopp” of charger testing… https://www.lygte-info.dk/
Agree with szarka - bitaxe is fun and a great learning tool for those that want to understand mining a little bit more: solo mining (public-pool.io), pool mining (ocean.xyz), firmware upgrades, over/under clock, hash rate and efficiency - all part of running any size mining setup.
A bitaxe makes a nice conversation piece as well.
Running a node is fun in a different way - IMO it’s more of a ’software experience’ - connecting your wallet (sparrowwallet.com, zeusln.com, etc) to the node, managing lightning channels and running a server. Start9.com makes great node software (DIY) and complete hardware packages.
Not sure there is progression other than possibly:
- get your coins off the exchanges
- secure your seed phrase(s)
- secure your coins with a hardware wallet
Eventually:
- run a node and/or run a miner
#bitaxe makes running a miner at home a realistic option for many and that wasn’t always feasible before. It is a great learning tool on top of that.
Correct - a bitcoin miner (bitaxe) is trying to find blocks.
A node is listening to the networks transactions, relaying valid transactions and validating blocks.
