Over lunch, the mowing service came by and our friend is no more.
Though its existence was brief, it lived out its purpose majestically, and the mycelium from which it sprouted lives on.
May we all hope for such a life.

My coworkers are trying to figure out how to transfer a sizable sum between them; large enough they can't do it via payment apps they share, large enough banking apps won't cash a check digitally. I told them they could settle it on-chain in 10 min. Too bad they're using USD. #plebchain #plebstr
For a pluralistic society to survive, agreement on the importance of Truth is more important than agreement on what is true. Hashing out what we all can agree on is a challenging process, but it only works if we put value on the ability to agree.
I'm using Plebstr right now; I do use Amethyst more often, though.
I don't recall how much setup Phoenix requires on installation, but that's one non-custodial Lightning solution. There's a fee to receive on a new channel; that's the only drawback I can think of.
I've done freelance VO paid in bitcoin; I'm down to accept it from anyone who'll offer. But Bitcoin is inherently more valuable to me than dollars, and if you know Gresham's Law, you know when two things with differing real value have the same denominated value people spend the less valuable and save the more valuable.
It's astounding how little curiosity people have about the weird, wild world we're travelling.

Would you mind explaining how the structure seems good? I'm a simple man, I self custody, I don't know how to evaluate ETF structure.
I'm the first to admit I don't follow all the ins and outs of ETF structure, but the explicit removal of in-kind redemption sounds like a huge red flag. Are there proof of reserve requirements? How does anyone know the ETF is actually backed by anything? Seems like a huge opportunity for market manipulation. Anyone have some insight? #plebchain #bitco in

I moved everything out, but the satograms kept coming in. Impossible to empty the thing.
Is the Ordinals scam seriously lucrative enough to keep this up?

The Ordinals clogging up the mempool may be nothing more than very expensive graffiti, but they do make an effective point about the importance of scaling solutions. Glad I had a chunk on #Lightning already #plebstr #Bitcoin
I recently had to move a sizable sum of fiat, and the bullshit hastle that's just considered normal is absurd. Bitcoin has spoiled me.
