Amen to this. I know people unwilling to run lightning nodes for fear of government persecution.
Ah, I get it now. As part of a set of arguments to woo fools towards tyranny.
I can’t fill in examples. But I’ll BOLO for one.
This might actually be a good thing. Might keep bitcoin etf’s out of the future bankruptcy scandal that robs securities holders of their securities.

I can’t stop laughing at that.
If you are filthy rich, bitcoin will be harder for you to grok. The fake money system that made you rich has very likely broken your brain and made you believe you are somehow very smart and good at the money game…when in reality you simply stood near the money printer with your mouth open and got the money for almost nothing. Your sense of identity and value will be fundamentally entangled with value of fake money.
Bitcoin will pass you by and flow to hands of good capital allocators. This will largely be the little guy who doesn’t have preconceived notions of the dollar somehow being incredibly good or fair.
People enjoy pathologizing anything different. Medicine does not. If it ain’t a problem, it is not a problem, as a matter of definition. Medicine doesn’t just chuck common sense out the window.
Now if you were to say you can’t keep a job because you must wash your hands 20 times before you leave and you must check the house door is locked 20 times before you depart and you must do the same with your car door and wash your hands 20 times upon arrival to work, late because of all of the above, then we’re getting close to OCD.
If people think your weird because you alphabetize your spice rack and insist they remove their shoes right foot first upon entering your home, and hence you have no friends, then maybe OC personality disorder (distinct from OCD).
If you prefer shit organized and uncluttered and put in the work to maintain that state, you’re a grown up and a better man than I.
Meh. By definition, it’s not a disorder unless it’s causing problems in your life. This is true of all such disorders. If it’s not causing problems, it’s personality or preference, not a disorder.
The logical consequence here is that all property exchanges will require KYC. Get ready for grocery store and gasoline KYC.
The best way to fight ordinals spam is to not partake. Don’t buy them. Don’t sell them.
Because it is we, the users, who bribe miners to spam bitcoin network by paying tx fees. Half of block space is wasted on spam. So don’t transact. Let bitcoin price fall. Hit them where it hurts, even if it hurts you too.
I believe nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg is forced to participate in non-covert spying against Americans because of government regulatory rules or maybe even laws yet to be fully challenged in court that require spying when pocket change is involved.
American government is so tightly constrained by constitution that they feel compelled to unilaterally take powers wherever they can; removing such powers takes decades to lifetimes through courts.
MtGox coins have been in bankruptcy proceedings for a decade. Most assuredly, at least some of those owed coins have died. What are the odds that all of the dead have family that will jump through every paperwork hurdle required to get coins repaid. I bet about 0% all will do so.
I wonder how unclaimed funds get dispersed at the end of the day. I bet if you follow the money, death is a big driver behind why they choose to take forever settling the bankruptcy case.
People living in Gaza are being used as pawns. It’s awful that neighboring states care so little.
Unfortunately, @primal is a no go for me. As best I can tell, because I live in the surveillance state of Nazimerica, my pocket change must report on how it is spent. So no tips and/or lightning for me on primal. Sorry guys, the laws need to change, I can’t use your software.
Now that the scumbags in congress has re-approved the taking of our God given right to privacy by extending FISA, let me take this moment to explicitly state I have no connection or work the benefit of any foreigner, foreign corporation, foreign nation, or foreign entity of any kind. Any allegation to the contrary is undoubtedly false and done knowingly with criminal intent, the precise type of intent not covered by qualified immunity.
So…what nostr app and lightning wallet do Americans use on iOS? Wallet of satoshi and Damus worked well right up until WoS died.
ZOMG! The coldcard Q has a calculator mode. I’m dying of laughter. @nvk best CC yet!
Happy halving plebs! Here’s to the future and self sovereignty!
