GM. Saved the newest ep of Sound Coffee so I could listen while I enjoyed it. Tried 21g of coffee today in a 12oz American which was a better ratio (1:16)

Gm. Technically true where I am but I'd normally be asleep. Except I just watched Alien: Romulus so now I need a bit to calm back down 😱😮‍💨

✊ If you're feelin it when I drop this!

It was great! Playing with how much to grind up and brew at a time for my preferred taste.

There it is. Now we know why they've been pumping the avian flu narrative so hard. How long before they try to say you can't sell birds or eggs if you don't have them vaxxed?

"I accidentally killed it"

In 2017, user devops199 exploited a vulnerability in Parity multisig ETH wallet smart contract, rendering funds in 587 wallets unusable. And apparently this was not the first Parity hack. This was an important moment for me. This was when I realized that Ethereum and Bitcoin were on entirely different planes of security.

Bitcoin has its problems. There's lots of room for improvement in privacy. But almost every other project is an absolute clown show with no long-term vision for what's down the road.

How does one read this as anything other than an advertisement for Monero?

>When financial repression fails, dictators turn to the second tactic – arrests, often followed by torture. One might think that using bitcoin makes it difficult to find those responsible through the protests – at least through their financial transactions. But this isn’t the case. Bitcoin transactions are recorded on the ledger, and the ledger is public. **Anyone can download it, view it, and analyze it**. And while the ledger doesn’t contain people’s identities or locations, it is subject to analysis and often yields identifying information. This, of course, can be disastrous for anti-authoritarian pro-democracy protesters and activists. The greater the resources of the dictatorship, the greater the risk of using bitcoin. **It’s better than banks, to be sure, but it’s a risk nonetheless.**

When one looks at coinjoins and payjoins, one sees all the hoops one has to go through to gain base layer privacy on Bitcoin... And coinjoining isn't free, so you run the risk of people who run coinjoins as a method of rent-seeking. One that would be denied them if Bitcoin had chosen to adopt a more privacy preserving architecture.

But NGU must not be denied. Monero has been banned by exchanges! What if that had happened to our precious Bitcoin?? Our Lord and Saviour Michael Saylor would have the vapours if Bitcoin devs pushed privacy to the base layer and got his pet rock banned by exchanges and governments...

I still remember how disappointed I was with the Canadian trucker debacle, back when paynym was pretty straightforward too

Wow. Had to scroll several times. That's an amazing level of petty 😆

GM frens. I made a video of myself hand-grinding my new nostr:nprofile1qqsxqnz6zax7rxcdn2m8tgzvd4w2sz85pad3y9rja69qzayxjzlgz3gpz4mhxue69uhks6tnwshxummnw3ezumrpdejqz8rhwden5te0dehhxarj9e3xjarrda5kuetj9eek7cmfv9kqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn9nqxahw coffee and making a nice aeropress americano. But Amethyst keeps telling me the video size is too large. So just imagine it and have a good Saturday ☕🫶

Ser plz it is almost bedtime.
