Today I got made the time set up #Zeuswallet and added a static lightening address to my Nostr profile again. I have this Zeus wallet pointed to my own lightening node and I’m curious to see how well it will work for zapping and receiving zaps here. Feel free to help me test with a small zap if you are so inclined.

Congratulations 🎉

Bought myself some extra Sats for Christmas. 🎅

This was a great episode. We all need to think critically like Whitney and fight for freedom tech and bitcoin.

All I want for Christmas is tiny on chain fees!

Wow! This boost is even more incredible. Max $0.50 🤣🤣😬

Is this a typo? Surely they are not so deceptive as to advertise a 5% back promotional boost with THREE DOLLAR MAXIMUM reward?

As much as I preach self custody, I miss using WOS for zaps and very small transactions. I’ve tried many self custodial lightening wallets and am trying to get another one set up today. Many of these others are just breaking down and with the fee environment I’m bleeding a ridiculous number of Sats that should have paid to real people instead of miners for channel closes and opens. 😟

In light of the current fee environment, my old collection of loaded Open Dimes is looking rather smart.

I have some that hold amounts below the current transaction fee totals. But they can be “spent” person to person with zero additional fees and instant final settlement like handing a gold coin to someone.

Damn, even Santa is on the KYC bandwagon! That’s sad.

Tinfoil hat thought: What if the stupid mempool clogging transactions are funded not by profit seekers, but by the state with unlimited printed fiat for the purpose of attempting to suppress or kill bitcoin?

Holy crap the mempool is nuts. I’m ready for the implosion of whatever perceived market these spammers think they have going.

I’ve got nothing against spending or gifting Sats. I’ve done it myself plenty of times. Selling for fiat as a “trade” as seen in the markets is what I believe to be a bad idea.

The Swan automatic daily DCA purchases occur at various times of the day. This is frustrating. River automatic purchases are highly predictable and so far have occurred at the same time. I like predictability. Swan’s system leads me to believe it isn’t automated and there is human executing the trades.

Lot of high time preference selling of the greatest invention of our species today.

It’s an opportunity for the strong hands.

#Bitcoin

The only video game I ever spent “too much” time on! nostr:note1qw4fnpne5yzlea4z9c70pfdm29dp435z5nlwvvp2fs06yscn0faspn07hp

Holy hell, the stupidity is amazing. nostr:note1snkuds2n83lfzqfp9r38e84x5qh2gy7vm56cunmwa8qafzrvwnvqrh8qsf

“Proof of Money” is the book I currently give to my no-coiner friends. Do a great job of telling the story of why #Bitcoin is important.

Bought the dip. 😂

My best friend happens to still be a no-coiner despite my attempted administration of the orange pill for 6 years. We talk about #bitcoin often. Today he asked if I was still buying. I reminded him that I had bought some bitcoin every single day for over 2000 consecutive days, and I had no intentions of quitting while I still had earned income. His response was: “It seems like the amount that you buy is so small compared to what you already have. I just don’t understand the point.” I replied “do you still contribute to your 401(k) at work? If so, the same logic applies.“
