There are a couple of accounts that follow me, then presumably unfollow me, and then follow me again. This happens several times/ day. Is this some weird #Nostr bug, or is it more likely they are bot/ spam accounts? #asknostr

I heard something on a podcast the other day that I hadn't heard anyone talk about before. The thought was that state actors (China or US), could collude (or not), and have chip makers install kill switches and/or back doors in chips, which they could use to manipulate or take down the network. How real a threat is this?, #bitcoin #asknostr

Yep. I created my own Squad because the one I was in wasn't very active. One of the people I added, added two more people, one of which had never used their card. 🤬 It's still a pretty active Squad though.

Thanks Forrest! Things seem to be working today. Love your podcast btw. =)

As a fellow Canadian 🇨🇦 , I'd love to see you, nostr:npub103m96sra82w4agghew9cdxtzs4s8sl7qsjsvw6h653yml0gjrkzqefd3h5 and Rajat, maybe do a show on nostr:npub139enddt4gc9n4swrq7cmn9ke9zj6wk9sq35lvjz57p9v5z2rr5wsf6yeat on living on a #Bitcoin Standard in Canada. I don't love the idea of spending BTC, cuz I don't have a lot, but I understand from podcasts like yours, and those that nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe contributes to, that in order for BTC to succeed, it needs to become a medium of exchange, and conversely if BTC doesn't get mass adopted as a MOE, BTC will fail, and that would suck. I'm spending a little bit of BTC on #Nostr zaps, and Boosts on Fountain, but it's the Capital Gains Tax hassle that I am grappling with. ~ Cheers.

What's in your podcast list?

Super weird! I Force Closed the app and cleared the Cache, and it was still messed. I'll uninstall and reinstall as per your suggestion, and see how it is tomorrow.

btw, do you know if there's a web version of nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5? I like to "prep" podcasts using a podcast web interface, for next day listening.

What the hell! I've been using #Fountain for a few weeks, pulled the trigger and subscribed today. And just today, when I click on a podcast to listen to, it plays a completely different podcast. 😵‍💫 I'm specifically trying to listen to this podcast https://fountain.fm/episode/0iu3QSpfwIz47Ae7dmPD, #ForrestHODL. So frustrating! Anyone else experiencing this with Fountain?

There’s something that’s been bothering me for a while.

To some 'Bitcoiners', I’m not 'Bitcoin' enough as if that’s even a real thing. Like being called progressive or feminist is supposed to be an insult. LOL.

And then every time I go back in my hometown, like last night, I get called a conspiracy theorist. Even for talking about the most basic bitcoin stuff (like the fact that dollars is not pegged by gold) 😭 and this happens a looot even on my social media

The truth is that nothing messes with your head like realizing that EVERYTHING you’ve been told about one of the most fundamental things (money) was wrong… and THEN suddenly finding yourself surrounded by people who also question the moon landing and whether sunscreen is even useful 🥲

But let me tell you something.

And I’m saying this to myself too. It’s fine. It’s all fine.

People are always trying to put you in a box. You’re either woke or delusional, feminist or comunist, sheep or lunatic. The financial system is a huge scam yes, but I don't question literally everything else. I drink wine and eat carbs on a daily basic and fuck yeah. The truth is, I live in the middle. And I’m OK with that. I absolutely love my life the way it i.

Being in the middle is what makes me human. It’s what allows me to see nuance. It’s what makes life richer, messier, and full of meaning. Also, I'm surrounded be so many and SO DIFFERENT people, I could never close myself up in my own world or diet.

I don't know in which point you are in this bitcoin journey but don’t be afraid to stand in between. Between two fires, two colors, two truths. Because that’s exactly where things start to make sense.

Fuck yeah! This post REALLY resonated! Thank you for your bravery in posting this. 🙏🏻

Hot Take: Every dollar you save in fiat is a silent agreement to be robbed later. Stop consenting!

I heard about Fedi today and asked ChatGPT to clue me in on it.

I have a brand new Coldcard Q here that I need to set up (moving from Ledger), so I asked, if I use Fedi, do I still need my Q. ChatGPT basically said to use the Q to hold most of my stack, and send a little bit over to Fedi for spending. That sparked a discussion about Capital Gains Tax. Bigger than the tax itself, is the supreme hassle I think it would be, to track a whole bunch of little transactions.

Then I asked if I was to purchase BTC via non-KYC, and ship some of it over to Fedi, there would be no "paper trail" and one could avoid CGT. That is the context of the screenshot here.

Thoughts? Advice? General ramblings? 🤪

If you're in Canada 🇨🇦 and not using Shake Pay to stack sats, what are you doing?! 😉
