The only folks here about here in the US that live on the "Bitcoin standard" are those they got in early and now are very wealthy. No disrespect to them, they earned it. I just gotta be realistic about about my situation.

My first ever Bitcoin miner arrived today! A nerdaxe! 😃 Excited to get this little guy setup

Just listened to Guy’s Episode on BTC standard vs investing based on Jimmy’s article.

Do you guys mind doing a poll on Nostr and the same one on X on how many people are living on a Btc standard ? It would be quite interesting I bet.

I'm afraid that's just not going be possible for most like me with a mortgage and a family until IRS stops penalizing purchases with BTC. I get paid in fiat, so I'm not going to volunteer for an additional tax penalty just for idealism. Right now BTC is primarily a savings technology that i sometimes use for zaps, donations or buying small items that I don't need to report on

There's definitely some folks in the comments on nostr:nprofile1qqsyw2lflynya6sj2net9a7d9ksvxxw6unlye4jf7ppya9prfh9vl9cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhs4342tl note there that could use your expertise on setting up their lightning wallets or lightning addresses. We're still so early, but awesome to see so many new folks joining Nostr

Yep, that was my initial call out as well, though I didn't take the time to proof read my grammar lol.

I mean, I don't disagree, but I'm also a happy Strike wallet user and that requires some KYC.

Speed Wallet seems cool, but why are there website says that USDT-L is backed by the Ethereum network?! Why not using the Liquid since it natively supports USDT and is backed by Bitcoin and not a shitcoin??

Rocking a new hat! #endthefed

As a manager of a software team, I'm constantly looking for ways to optimize how we build. My latest effort has been to automate as much as possible our localization efforts. We support 17 languages currently and frequently have to make additions and updates to our language strings, so outsourcing to a translation agency is a non-starter with how quickly we need to iterate.

As a result I discovered DeepL, a powerful AI service that does an amazing job at providing accurate translations. They have a ton of features that truly let you tailor it to your needs. I can give it precise context for more accurate translations, split strings across multiple tags, embedded html formatting, integrate via REST APIs and client libraries, etc. Using these guys has saved us a ton of time and money. Give it a try.

What, like they actively try to block it?

So you figured out how to get folks to stop doing leveraged longs on BTC?

What would you all suggest in the way of an audio book that would serve as a good primer for my non-technical wife who'd rather be gardening then learning about the ins and outs of how money works? My guess is that the Bitcoin Standard is probably not the first step lol.
