My family is going to a themed 4th of July parade/party tomorrow and the theme this year is: GAMES - card games, board games, video games - be creative!

For our costume ideas we are down to: beer pong, Pac-Man, family feud, and Clue.

Welcoming any other ideas that would be easily recognized by all ages and would be possible to create costumes for in less than a day!

Hey Derek, Nostr nests is giving me a warning now. That the site is not safe

Pineapple and jalapeños is a good pizza topping.

Sleeping like garbage past few days.

Half excited half stressed

#Bitcoin’s likelihood of continued adoption as a mainstream asset is only boosted by institutional interest.

It’s important to zoom out; 13 years ago #BTC was worth less than a penny, and it’s become apparent that even after all of that growth; it’s STILL undervalued.

Elder whales are starting to wake up, I wonder how they will react to the newfound institutional demand...they are most capable of front running this catalyst…but will they choose to sell out? This next halving will cause #Bitcoin to, without a doubt, be a better SoV than gold due to an increased S2F ratio.

Wallets waking up after over a decade of inactivity always inspires such wonder and respect. Who are these people with the MOST diamond of hands?

Bitcoin is an open protocol, it works with any operating system. Limiting it to Android would be against the ethos.

I can barely believe it, but tomorrow I’ll get a non-iPhone phone.

My last non-iPhone phone was a Blackberry 9600 purchased in 2006.

Bitcoin cash getting a god candle.

You think maybe noobs that heard about black rock (and others) wanting BTC etf are buying the wrong thing?

Overall, the openness of Android is a major advantage over a closed system like Apple's iOS. The openness of Android allows for more customization, innovation, and choice. This is why we often see new software features, hardware, and accessories launching on Android many years before Apple adds support for these enhancements.

Generally, Apple waits several years for a new technology to mature and be in high demand before releasing it for their ecosystem. They market this as innovative, that no one else could do this besides Apple.

In some ways, they are correct. They waited until the technology was better, they waited until it matured, they waited until it was near-perfect so the experience was better than other products that had it for years.

In some cases, Apple has a better user experience, because they control the entire ecosystem. They *should* have a better experience in some cases since they're controlling and narrating it from the very top.

I may have been wrong when trying to explain this earlier. At the end of the day, these points don't matter. The discussions we're having aren't about which software platform is better. We aren't having a discussion about which company creates better hardware. We aren't discussing which company has a better user experience.

We are discussing which platform censors it's users. We are discussing which company is controlling and hurting people around the world by their censorship.

It's about abiding by a ruler when we are promoting protocols such as Bitcoin and Nostr which do not have rulers.
