Tough question.
IMHO #eCash is already very usable and has good integration in #nostr. When you stay close to this "ecosystem" or protocol it feels like the obvious choice.
#Monero will always feel a little "outlandish" from my perspective where I don't want to deal with the swap to & from a different blockchain.
But it has some advantages in special use cases.
Can't really tell which one has a higher risk/trust/benefit profile right now.
This is the way ๐ช
Bin schon gespannt auf das Interview.
Aber, um Gottes Willen, bitte mehr Sonnencreme auftragen ๐๐ฅต
So the question is how do I buy Bitcoin KYC-free from elsewhere without being in El Salvador in person?
We discussed it at the last local meetup two weeks ago.
The majority settled for "never come back price" around 31k$
Reminds me of the good times we had during #zapathon trying to crash Wallet of Satoshi ๐ฅฐ

That's a mighty update! thx a lot ๐
New โฌ/โฟ ATH.
Time to stack some sats ๐
6969 Blocks left till #halving.
Nice ๐
Thanks nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m for wearing the shirt and hat all the time โก

It's the only shirt he has left
Sold everything else to support #nostr devs ๐
Had a stressful week.
Channeled it all into my #gym workout and oh boy... was it awesome ๐คฉ finished off with some sauna and cold showers.
Best #workout in 2024 so far.
Still feel kinda high 1h later

A silent warning for every growing up millenial (and later Gens) that our fiat system is taking its toll on the most basic things...
I feel this note very much ๐
Would be even better to convince like 6 or more other people at the next bitcoin con to wear green suits at the same time.
Improves the anonimity set and would be hilarious ๐
Tractors so versatile. First they tow broken Russian military vehicles in Ukraine, now they break barricades effortlessly.
They even can be used for farming, clearing snow, transporting hay and cattle.
At this point everyone should be bullish on Tractors ๐

Dawn dish soap works wonders for me. Once I finally give up squinting through the smudges, it's like a whole new, bright world after cleaning my glasses.
Dish soap maxi here. Just rub it gently with CLEAN (!) fingers over the glass/plastic and rinse with water.
Extra points for blowing the droplets off the glasses in the end ๐ฌ๏ธ
I have almost zero micro-scratches after 3years with this method ๐
Just tried it out:
Sent 100sats to Outlook-Mail address and redeemed 99sats to #eNuts wallet which minted me some #ecash
Could be a nice tool for onboarding. Will try with some no-coiners soon ๐
