Another AMK gem, this time in perfect harmony with Giant Rooks.
Henning gets me every single time with that voice and with Frederik it's just a perfect match.
Then the two bands in two different rooms, playing flawlessly together, amazing.

2) is like...never gonna happen, ever.
Not because of the 69m, but because satoshi will never give his coins to a custodian and he owns more than 5% (if we guesstimate the ~1.1m patoshi-number).
And he's not alone in never given them to someone else.
But to answer ur question honestly:
I don't give a damn.
Seriously, I'm fine now, II'll be fine with 250k, even more so with 69m and why would I care where other people store their coins?
I just keep them where they are (in my self-custodial-butt oc).
Can't really remember tbh, but I just found a btc-e username+pw in my little blackbook, so I guess that's a "yes".
Funny, just the other day I did something similar and checked what old mails I could find.
Guess I trashed the MtGox account-creation mail, but I found the verification mail.

But MtGox wasn't my first BTC-exchange, that was BitMarket.eu about 1 year earlier.

It's been a fun rollercoaster ride so far and it only gets better over time.

This one seems really slow to me, at this rate it'll need another 3 days to sync.
It's not the fastest machine in the world (i3-6006U, 8GB, SATA SSD), but that's what I had and didn't use for anything else.
Maybe if I stare at it long enough, it'll move faster, like the observer effect?
To get an idea of the fees to go from LN to BTC and back you could check some swap-services, like swap.deezy.io or boltz.exchange.
If you run your own BTC- and LN-Node it's basically just another on-chain tx to go either in or out of lightning-channels,
so all that matters is the current mempool and sats/vB situation.
Depends a lot on the amount you wanna to buy.
Small amount->LN
Big amount->on-chain
LN
It's ok to send amounts as tiny as 1sat via lightning, the bigger the amount the worse LN works, at least in my experience.
I've never had a problem sending 1, 21, 420, 210k, 1m sats, sending a couple of million though I often had to try a few times til it worked.
But that's expected, on every hop there needs to be enough channel liquidity to route the payment through.
on-chain
It's ok to pay a $5 fee for a $5000 on-chain tx, 0.1% is not that bad,
but if you just want to send/receive $5, that would be a 100% fee you probably don't want to pay.
It also depends on what you wanna do with it, like, do you wanna use it to zap nostriches, or buy/pay for stuff?
Or does it go straight to cold storage for the next decade?
Tick Tock ...
Will take a while to sync it seems, but we're in no hurry.

If you want me to skip your song as soon as you start singing, use some Autotune-effect.
I hated it when Cher did it in the 90s and I still hate it.
So many good-ish songs ruined.
Your voice, your choice.
Attention Nostriches!
My wildlife charity website was in dire need of a massive upgrade and overhaul, so I asked around on Nostr whom could help rebuild it and nostr:npub16yvvw6g8dn9pqmh6uymjcsmy69lpdj0zch7jjy4sk67rpespc6gs596q7y offered his expertise.
Well what a brilliant and talented web designer he is!
I am completely blown away by the quality, timing and execution, to say he is great is an understatement- he is brilliant!
Thank you so much Doe!
Next time you’re looking for a web designer look no further than Doe, you’ll be thrilled.
Oh and the best thing is that you can pay him in sats - it’s a win win!
💜🧡🫂

Looks amazing.
The website, not the numbers.
Now we only need those charities to accept our sats, I just checked them all and currently none of 'em does.
Are you in contact with any of them? Maybe you can point them to TheGivingBlock or something to set them up.
Thank you very much nostr:npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea 💜 I am truly grateful for your help 😃
You're very welcome!
Without devs like yourself out there we wouldn't have stuff to use.
Someones gotta keep them happy and if some sats is all it takes, I'm glad to help. 😉
Stay humble and zap this girl some sats.

Probably not that many, but you can at least try.
Shouldn't do any other dumb shit while trying though, like, damaging property, taking hostages, or hurting/killing guards,
that'll give you some extra time.
Fun Fact: Escaping from prison isn't illegal in germany.
If you ever need to, go for it.
Congratulations,
you're older than you've ever been!

In 1988 when I was just a teenager this was my fist ever encounter with TMBG.
Eversince one of my all-time favorite bands.

I used an old laptop (with a broken keyboard) to setup #Start9 after watching one of your other videos about it a few weeks ago.
Been running btc-nodes for more than a decade, but never looked into lightning until then.
Now my node routed about 50million sats already and I'm waiting for the mempool to clear up so I can open moar channels.
Oh and I found out about Nostr thru #Start9 (there's a relay and client in its marketplace) which piqued my interest.
Just wanted to say:
Thank you!
