Pretty nice. (The picture) Hi. Yeah. It's the first thing that came to mind when I setup my nostr. Had to say what resonated with me.
Many years ago, me and two friends were sitting on a hill looking out over our town. We had guitars and were jamming.
The police came. Took a drink from our soda bottle and said.
"I am confiscating this." Went and stood by his van with his copper buddies and drank our soda we bought with our money right in front of us.
How can you even make music when you are that pissed off.
They took advantage of us because we were young.

Italy government just announced that the capital gain taxation for Bitcoin will jump from 26% to 42%. So funny.

Peer to peer.
I discovered them through Stubz the Zombie.
Okay this gets interesting.
Wife, mother, sister, grandmother.
Passionate, intense, annoying, tireing.
Dad, brothers, friend peer, friend senior.
Normal, chill, chill, interesting, inspiring.
My Kids.
Incredible, reasonable, lovely, I don't know? Gurgle.
My wife says the same about me. Especially when I get into meaningfull discussion. I don't have coversation if I don't think there is a point being made. No small talk. No chit chat. Only platitudes and terms of endearment. They say what you mean. High signal and maximum efficiency.
I used to enjoy telling jokes when I was younger. Not anymore.
The wife and kids still love and adore me so it can't be too bad.
When you grandma is using nostr. We made it.
I put myself in the camp of those not really willing to use Bitcoin to purchase goods and services, and I agree with nostr:npub1m0sxqk5uwvtjhtt4yw3j0v3k6402fd35aq8832gp8kmer78atvkq9vgcru that this is a problem. He recently wrote:
> "We have more bitcoin merchants than Bitcoiners willing to spend. We don’t need more merchant adoption, but spenders adoption."
I believe that the "spend-replace" practice needs to be a no-brainer.
I used this approach a couple of times for fairly large purchaes I made. However, it meant that each time I had to complete the BTC payment with my wallet, then move the fiat equivalent of the bitcoin I spent to an exchange, then use that money to purchase BTC at a rate different from the one applied for the initial BTC payment to the merchant, then move the new BTC out of the exchange and back to my wallet.
Of course, this is very annoying and not sensible for small purchases. In those cases, it makes more sense to replace multiple BTC spendings with a single BTC purchase. However, doing this manually and on a regular basis, is going to be complex and time-consuming.
A more convenient solution would be to have your wallet automatically manage the "spend-replace" process in collaboration with services like nostr:npub1sqzr42dj8vx32yd5jcvvl3ytux45kl0etgf6y2ymjvmd7lqmuwmqk9vk7v, nostr:npub1yadzn065lkghcg7puhp2kn96tp79fzysq4j0vku9kntaa9j2cr2s3n98zt, nostr:npub19mf4jm44umnup4he4cdqrjk3us966qhdnc3zrlpjx93y4x95e3uq9qkfu2, etc.
I could simply receive an alert saying:
"Threshold reached! It's time to replace your Bitcoins!
Transfer xxx EUR/USD to Relai/Bittr/Well/... bank account to purchase approx. YYY BTC that will be received right in this wallet.".
I would immediately switch to a wallet offering this feature!

Merchants must save in Bitcoin. Many people will grow their own food in their back yards before they spend the hardest money they have. The adoption curve has to complete before spending bitcoin becomes a desirable outcome. I have given people bitcoin with the hope that it motivates them to study it. If they just sell it for fiat currency after I spent months trying to explain it's value to them it feels like a slap in the face.
Merchants are even scarier because you don't know if they just sell it for cash immediatly/automatically. Then the recipient of your spend is unknown to you. It might be coinbase getting your bitcoin on some back end api.
There are good ways people manage to spend and earn in feasable circular ways, it's just not going to be the next big thing for another cycle or two.
More hodlers would have to survive a cycle or two for spending to increase.
Think of each cycle as generations reproducing.
The first meaningful cycle of adoption (population boom) was the 2016 cycle. We need more cycles to have more bitcoiners who did not fall in the bear market battle.
We are already in a much better place than we were two years ago with regards to merchant adoption, I'm just stingy, would rather give bitcoin away to teach an individual before I spend it.
If merchants can mine fiat, they can save in bitcoin.
It's the Saylor way. And he's smiling.
Just for reference, this isn't perfectly accurate because i can't find exact measurements of the booster only, but the entire starship is a little over 400ft.
This makes the Statue of Liberty a tad taller than the booster alone from what it looks like, but this should give some references to try to picture the scale of what just happened and why this is a big deal.
This is the rocket that they expect to be able to potentially take humans (back? 🤔) to the moon and further, and it just launched into space, returned on its own, and was firmly and safely placed back to the exact same position where it will take off from for its next mission. 🤯
This is where you can see the workers in comparison...

The base of the statue does not count.
And the statue is even shorter since UNATCO bombed the statue as a false flag and blamed the French terrorist group Silhouette who had previously lamented that the US did not deserve such a noble symbol of Liberté.
Hi. Just watched this. I am a christian but I haven't really prayed in earnest since 2010. In 2010 I went through a period of intense prayer because I was going through a lot of pain and turmoil. All my prayers were answered and since then I have only ever been thankful and content. But now (thanks to this video) I realise that I have yet to teach my children how neccesary prayer is when you are in need or conflicted. That will be our discussion this morning.
