Progressive bitcoiner. Building and using decentralized tools that matter. Working on Bitcoin-backed loans at Firefish.io. 🐠

It seems someone may have hacked @jack's account ... 🤦‍♂️

He can't be seriously promoting this.

Hi nostr:nprofile1qy58wumn8ghj7cnfw33k76twvdhkjm3wvd5z7mn0wd68yun9d3shjt6zd96xyap5wexqz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0qyvhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnndehhyapwwdhkx6tpdshsqgx00tg9lr5em682mwlm6h9pcrumw4yehns8qaykdvnhdzx2tcwhycfk9lfc , I'm bullish on Bitcoin regardless.

What is significant here is the amount of work by this giant bank to carry out the small purchase while complying with regulations.

The guy wrote to his colleagues: "Thank you all for your teamwork, this achievement would not have been possible without each of you."

When your friends ask "Why Nostr?" - what do you say?

Here is https://WhyNostr.org

It's a curation of Nostr posts on the topic. It's not "the best" or "complete" by any measure - it's just my 2 cents, and I need your help!

Do you have your own favorite "why nostr" post? Send a link in comments, and I will zap you and add it to the site.

Want to collab to keep the site up-to-date? Send a DM.

Let's see if we can make a useful resource to augment the purple-pilling efforts!

Love it!

And I love that you can build such a cool website in minutes using npub.pro.

Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon on this day, changing the face of Rome.

On January 10, 49 BC, Julius Caesar made the fateful decision to cross the Rubicon river with his army, an act that would change the course of Roman history. This small stream marked the boundary between Caesar's province of Cisalpine Gaul and Italy proper. By law, it was forbidden for a Roman general to lead troops across this border, as doing so was considered an act of treason.

Caesar's decision to cross the Rubicon came after years of growing tension between him and his political rivals in Rome, particularly Pompey and the Senate. They had ordered Caesar to disband his army and return to Rome, where he would likely face prosecution. Faced with this ultimatum, Caesar chose to march on Rome instead.

The impact of this decision on Rome was immediate and far-reaching. As news of Caesar's advance spread, panic gripped the city. Pompey and many senators fled Rome, believing the exaggerated rumors of the size of Caesar's force. This mass exodus effectively handed control of the city to Caesar without a fight.

Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon marked the beginning of a civil war that would last for several years. It pitted Caesar against Pompey and the senatorial faction, ultimately leading to Caesar's victory and his rise to power as dictator of Rome. This conflict would reshape the Roman political landscape and effectively end the Roman Republic, paving the way for the establishment of the Roman Empire.

One significant consequence of Caesar's actions was that it denied him the opportunity for a formal triumph in Rome. A triumph was a grand celebratory parade granted to victorious generals, but it required them to lay down their command before entering the city. By crossing the Rubicon with his army, Caesar forfeited his right to this honor for his victories in Gaul.

The phrase "crossing the Rubicon" has since entered common usage as an idiom meaning to pass a point of no return or to take an irrevocable step. Caesar himself is said to have uttered the famous words "The die is cast" (Alea iacta est) as he made his decision, though the exact phrasing and language used are debated by historians.

Caesar's bold move demonstrated his political and military acumen. With only one legion at his immediate disposal, he managed to outmaneuver his opponents through swift action and psychological warfare. His capture of Ariminum (modern Rimini) shortly after crossing the Rubicon further solidified his position and sent shockwaves through the Roman political establishment.

The crossing of the Rubicon remains one of the most pivotal moments in ancient history. It set in motion a chain of events that would not only transform Rome but also shape the future of European civilization.

These "on this day" posts are inspired by my love of the greatest minds of the Western canon. It is in this spirit that I post these tidbits for the Bitcoin community as a way to bring beauty and knowledge to the world.

Thank you for this informative summary!

You might find it interesting that Mussolini himself intervened in 1933 to determine which of the local rivers was the true Rubicon, the river Caesar famously crossed.

I’ve recently noticed an overlap among two communities: bitcoiners and members of the FIRE movement (Financial Independence Retire Early). While most prominent FIRE advocates are against Bitcoin, some FIRE members have been stacking sats and enjoying the acceleration in their saving plans.

For those, the central question became “how many bitcoin should I own to retire?” Several calculators exist to answer this question, all assuming you will generate retirement income by selling your BTC stack over time. (see: https://calc.bitcoineracademy.com/ or https://unchained.com/retirement-calculator/)

However, I’d like to offer a different perspective: you might never sell your bitcoins, and still be able to retire and leave most of your stack to your heirs. How is that even possible? Simple answer: rolling bitcoin-backed loans.

I've created a simulator that demonstrates how the total amount of BTC held as collateral for the loans decreases over time. The simulator currently models 5 years, but its timeframe can be easily extended.

Hi!

Take a look at Firefish.io.

Disclaimer: I work there, message me for a discount code. 😉

E' una lista normale.

Ci aggiungo npub da vari client: Nostrudel, Coracle, ...

Spero venga distribuita dai vari relay che uso su tutti client.

Attualmente quelli di Primal, Damus, Nos e il mio privato che gira su Start9.

Fammi sapere se non riesci a visualizzarla.

Every time I stumble upon Italian speaking nostrichers, I add them to this list.

Ogni volta che mi imbatto in qualcuno che parla italiano, lo aggiungo a questa lista.

Man mano che mi imbatto in italiani/italofoni su Nostr, li aggiungo a questa lista:

Cars are causing 42K deaths every year in the USA.

That is 12.4 deaths per 100,000 population in 2020.

Even a country truly in love with cars like Germany has a fatality rate that is much lower: 3.5.

Cars are indeed cool.

The way we use them is not.

I had the same need and I started to collect npubs of users that were not posting about Bitcoin or Nostr. I published them on a weekly basis, then I stopped.

Here are the notes you might want to take a look at:
