What if we:
- Eliminate all federal taxes
- Pay $1000/month to every citizen
- Mint trillion dollar coins to fund it all
By accelerating the death of fiat currency, this would end the war machine, dissolve the corrupt federal government, and help balance the wealth gap in the process

everyday, best thing i do hands down
just sit, breathe, enjoy, find stillness
the website is https://deezy.place
it’s also a decentralized marketplace that uses nostr to publish listings. but warning we aren’t doing much more development on it these days and prob will shut it down
but some people used it and minted inscriptions like these frogs for a tiny lightning payment, and now the frogs are worth like $2k each so we kinda had the last laugh
we built this over a year ago - bitcoin + ordinals wallet on your nostr key. there wasn’t much demand for it though, and some maxis got really mad
gm what you up to today?
It’s ok to be a hardcore fundamentalist bitcoin maxi who calls everything else a shitcoin. It’s a safe path to take that ensures you and your community avoid getting rekt. And it ensures you make it through this chaotic noisy monetary renaissance securely.
It’s very similar to living a strictly principled and sheltered life without drugs, alcohol, dangerous adventures, controversial people, parties, etc. You’ll be safe, healthy, and probably happy. But you might feel a little bored and crave something more.
Extending beyond vanilla bitcoin into things like ordinals, collectibles, or even other blockchains is risky behavior. Many have ventured there with good intentions but got in too deep and lost their principles along the way. Some others are pure scammers. And the scammery and degeneracy certainly increases the further you stray from vanilla bitcoin.
In the same way there are many people with unhealthy relationships to parties, dangerous adventures, drugs/alcohol, etc. But there are also people who can partake in risky behavior in a healthy way, opening their minds to new experiences, developing deep friendships, building communities, and having fun times.
Finding that balance is all part of this human experience.
I respect the maxis who choose to keep it simple, even if the message is abrasive. They will keep you safe - though you might miss out on some fun. Or not, everyone has a different life.
I personally started getting a bit bored with vanilla bitcoin. “I like Bitcoin, buy my lightning channels” just wasn’t cutting it for me. I’ve also had a keen interest in digital art ever since i could code, and enjoyed pokemon cards growing up. I also wish I had minted some free crypto punks back in 2017.
I like ordinals, they’re fun. There are also some positive-sum opportunities for profit. And I hope we can enjoy the party in a healthy manner by keeping the focus on art, collectibles, and communities rather than false promises and wash-traded faux-unregistered securities.
If you look closely at the remnants of the recent NFT bust on altcoin chains, you’ll find the full range of pure scammery to pure artistic expression. I hope we can remove the former and preserve the latter as these people start migrating to bitcoin.
So anon, do you want to join the party? That’s something for only you to decide. There’s no wrong answer, and I respect your decision.

So it was paypal who accidentally spent $500k in a bitcoin transaction fee...
Feel bad for them. But major amateur mistake...
Trying to accelerate bitcoin adoption is like trying to get the sun to set faster
There are greater forces at play that will continue to work on their own timelines
Bitcoin will continue to grow naturally with each successive failure of western government money, no sooner or later
In the meantime we can prepare by building tools and knowledge, but the greater forces will control the ultimate timing of our hyperbitcoinized destiny
Find peace and joy in the present, as tomorrow is never guaranteed and money is a disappointing idol anyway 
Refocusing on the Deezy lightning node today. Activating the rebalancer - let's get these lightning payments more reliable.
Ordinals have been a fun detour but I do feel that lightning infrastructure is still the future of our business. Just need more of you mfers actually using lightning lol

Are there any protections around the "Most Zapped" metric to prevent people from zapping their own posts to boost metrics?
