I bought a pair of lightning earrings in 2018 from Blockstream with bitcoin via lightning. 5 years later I took excess funds off that long dead node and it was worth a surprising amount.
I guess that means those earrings are worth a fortune :)
It’s a love story. It starts with an axiom: the penalty for sin against a sinless God is death (in case you wonder why Jews have animal sacrifice, this is why). The love story ends with God providing his own son as the sacrifice for the sin of all.
I’ve met a lot of people unwilling to accept the possibility that the universe is random and we are here due to chance…and thus they believe there must be some creator.
But perplexingly they don’t see how such a creator of the universe could possibly care about them as an individual and desire to know them personally. As if somehow creating the universe is easy but the social interaction part is too hard…or as if something created could be irredeemable by the creator. This is nonsense if we accept the existence of a creator of the universe.
Exactly. Religion is often tyranny by another name. This has nothing to do with God.
I believe they were brothers at the time they did their rather conservative resurrected savior movie.
That’s psalm 46:10.
“Be still and know that I am God.”
So far no response. But the email hasn’t bounced back yet.
Back in those days people had tens of thousands of coins. It’s not unreasonable for such a person even today to make good on such an error. But it’s not likely…most people selling had this unfortunate tendency to sell it all.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing everyone he doesn’t exist.
The next greatest trick was obscuring divine truth through human religion.
Was digging through old email for nostalgia’s sake and it turns out that back in July 2010, I sent someone $7 or so to buy 100 bitcoins. I never got those coins. So I forwarded him the payment email today with an updated address as I can only presume it was an oversight.
The email hasn’t bounced back…yet…
So…I mean, hey, ya never know…
What's Dev Hack Day at BTC Prague? It's a day that's intended for all tech enthusiasts, curious minds, nerds, and geeks. DHD is filled with talks that present breakthrough ideas and engaging workshops where you can get hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies. The best part? We have 8 hours of Nostr dedicated content here!
If you'd like to join "The Dream Team" of Nostriches talking on the dedicated Nostr track at Dev Hack Day BTC Prague, let me know.
I'm now assembling Nostriches and building the schedule. My man nostr:npub1hqaz3dlyuhfqhktqchawke39l92jj9nt30dsgh2zvd9z7dv3j3gqpkt56s will be emceeing the event. Thus far, we'll be joined by nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk and nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft as they talk about all things near and dear to our hearts, Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays.
If you're going to be at BTC Prague and want to show up one day early and participate in Dev Hack Day, please reach out.
BTC Prague will also have two other Nostr sessions, a talk on the main stage and a panel on the side stage. Stay tuned!
You should have someone do a @blockstream satellite demo.
Smart move. I did this back when I was a poor resident. Now that worry free sum is worth about double my entire working career up to this point. And it wont be long before than worry free sum is worth more than a doctor could make in a lifetime.
Ya know how they say there will only ever be 21 million bitcoin?
I don’t think that’s maximally accurate.
You see, as it stands now, you can’t get less than 1 sat block subsidy. But the 21 million limit is only ever achieved after an infinite number of halvings. Thus there will definitely be less than 21 million bitcoin.
But how much less?
Well, when does block subsidy drop to less than 2 sats?
That’s 50/2^n…let’s try 32
50/2^32=1.164153218*10^-8 (or 1.164 sats)
So the next 210,000 blocks would have gotten 0.582 sats, which would have been an extra 122,236.0879 sats. If we double this number, we can also account for the infinite number of future halvings after the first set of 210,000 sub 1 sat blocks.
Thus, there will be 244,472 sats less than 21 million bitcoins.
20,999,999.99755528 bitcoin is the max.
You heard it hear first folks. But people on bitcointalk noticed this more than a decade ago.
Exactly. Everyone wants to believe. And they’ll use this desire mixed with incomplete truths to milk the stupid taxpayer to no end. They’ll exclude scientists or discourage scientific inquiry and rely on two-bit journalists and arm chair scientists to come up with plausible but fanciful explanations that can’t be easily refuted.
Wanna work in Arizona? We haven’t had anything other than temp urologists for like a decade. I do all the prostate mri’s for the entire county. All happily annotated to facilitate fusion biopsy.
I doubt you’d get 20 procedures a week out here though.
Even for the dumb ones and the really short ones?
Aliens is the answer to what happened to ungodly sums of money laundered by military officials…
Prove me wrong.
I just can’t stop laughing. The nouriel roubini is now a shitcoiner!
I love how the feds charge people with conspiracy to commit wire fraud as opposed to charging them with the crime of actually stealing shit. We’ve set the bar so low for federal prosecutors.
Exactly. Stacking is part of building a better world for everyone.
