GM nostr. Feelin' it today. And it is... good. Onward!

Fuck either of those things. No taxes, no forced religion.

Trans people deserve respect. And respect implies not telling a girl that she's a boy just because she might feel a little confused, but rather that she's valuable no matter what she is.

Oh this is great, man!

One great lazy way to go is to buy the Server One from Start9 themselves, though you still have to do minimal setup of that. It's deliberately made to be as easy as possible to get self custodial bitcoin and lightning ok that sucker.

Barring that, I swear by Sparrow Wallet and Nunchuk as far as self custody bitcoin goes, and you can use those with or without your own node. Then for a private payment intermediary and cheap fees via lightning and whatnot, looks like Coinos is really really good, as recommended by nostr:nprofile1qqsv8tj2mrsx4ywzqpr466w2jpzq6m25meef60g7ttavl0dku4x5djcpz4mhxue69uhkg6t5w3hjuur4vghhyetvv9uszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qg7waehxw309ahx7um5wgkhqatz9emk2mrvdaexgetj9ehx2ap0wlxfg8

Just looked into it and yeah, wow, Coinos is legit!! Perhaps best bet is Coinos plus a place for self custody like Green Wallet or a badass onchain-only wallet like Nunchuk or Sparrow Wallet. Simple, easy to manage, interoperable between each other.

Bitcoin is the money! Noobs just don't get it lol

That's a testament to how few boomers want real hard assets, and how much bitcoin doesn't care what you think, it's the best form of money out there. Sad really that it took the invention of a money that's 1000 times better than the dollar for it to catch on post-1971.

Green Wallet has self custody liquid and I think it uses lightning swaps to interoperate with lightning. Best for medium sized lightning payments like 5000 sats, like a coffee or more, since fees for swaps can be around like 500 sats, though direct Liquid to Liquid fees are only about 20 sats per transaction. Extremely easy way to store bitcoin in a private way that also has low fees even when onchain fees get high. Still self custody, but you have to rely on the Liquid federation to remain viable into the future against all government attacks. That's the main set of tradeoffs. You can always swap liquid back onchain as long as the Liquid federation is viable though.
