Bitcoin, A Thousand Years!

Have you ever seen the rain?🌧️ Fuck’en perfect. I’m going hard on CCR all day tomorrow. Thank you. 🙏🏻

So you’re saying that I shouldn’t be zapping my sats away and just hoarding them to myself? Honest question? I’ve thought about that myself. But zapping and getting zapped is way better than shit likes. I mean, if you really like a post send them some value back. Right?🤷🏼

nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m This #bitkey is cool, but it feels weird to setup a wallet and not write down 12 words.

Am I the only one who feels that way?

Forget the bitkey, I want to know about the BlockClock. I’ve been eyeing one for my office. Thoughts? Can I customize what it displays?

Today marks 25 years since my country was bombed, in the operation called “Merciful angel” or “Angel of Mercy” - whatever.

In 78 days of air strikes:

- 420k bombs were dropped on us

- 4k died (81 child)

- 25k homes destroyed, plus:

- 14 airports

- 18 kindergartens

- 39 hospitals

- 69 schools

- 176 historical sites

- 500+ kilometers of roads

Etc

I was nine. I remember my nose bled from fear. I don’t know how me being scared caused my nose to bleed, but it happened.

I remembered the duffle bag packed next to the door, with a few cans of food inside of it, some clean clothes, passports, and all gold jewelry we had- cuz we didn’t know if it would get worse.

I still have ptsd triggered every time I head air strikes sirens. Luckily, I don’t hear them much- only when they are testing if those still work, or when are paying tributes to the casualties.

Anyway, for years to follow, my father would use any opportunity to gift us gold jewelry. Why? Because: “If it gets bad again, money won’t worth much. We learned that in 1994. You exchange these ear rings/bracelets/necklaces for food or anything you need.

Nowadays, I don’t have a run away bag prepared. But trust me when I tell you, I could pack one in jut a few minutes.

Nowadays, I don’t buy my kid gold jewelry, I stack sats.

It could be one of the reasons why I’m bitcoining. It gives me a hope. An escape plan, among other things.

As for the first part of my note, let’s stop for a second to think about all kids around the world, their traumas, bleeding noses from fear and sleepless nights. Let’s pray for their beautiful souls and innocent lives.

Thank you for sharing your story.

How does one auto-zap and get auto-zapped? ⚡️🤔

I wonder if that is the natural progression. If we are going to orange pill the world, we are going to need an easier way for people to protect their wallets. People can’t even manage 1 password much less 12 word seed phrase. Love to get a full review on the podcast. Ps: still waiting for an episode. I check every morning like a kid expecting it to be Christmas morning.

Anyone ever use Ember App https://emberfund.io? Looks like it’s difficult / impossible to actually withdraw any earnings. And if you do it’s wBTC, not even real BTC. Curious if anyone has any success.

🤦🏼‍♂️🙏🏻

I feel like a boomer for asking, whats pfp 😑

That’s any social platform, heck’s that just being on the internet. Every platform deals with it. YouTube, Roblox, Facebook, no one immune. 🤷🏼

While I don’t agree with your statement, I’m not going to unfollow. You still post other things I like. And I don’t want to ignore people that have different opposing views.

nostr:npub1pmhevxtlt3478pvmdqt7dftnv6zc2mzpdc569yjm6ks4k2jhezcs53uksr can you explain how all BTC isn’t KYC free with a little work?

Hear me out. I buy BTC on an exchange that I’m KYC’ed on. Gov definitely knows that’s my BTC.

I then move it off to a wallet. Gov can assume that was my wallet. Fine.

I then make another wallet and move it there. At that point how would / could the gov prove those sats are still from my original KYC purchase?

Wouldn’t that be enough to create doubt to clear the BTC and make it anonymous?

Bonus question: if I now bring those same sats back to an exchange and sell them (which I would never do but if I did) how would they know what my original purchase price was for taxing purposes? These sats have moved to multiple wallets and potentially multiple exchanges.

Yesterday nostr:npub120jgpm9gl7lzwtjeklr7rg9nkty4g7whhgq0u8qz2n5s0fkrca0qlh5qug asked a question about how can they/know prove that certain bitcoins belong to you. Besides the Roman Sterlingov case, what other resources can help explain.

Thanks nostr:npub1pmhevxtlt3478pvmdqt7dftnv6zc2mzpdc569yjm6ks4k2jhezcs53uksr, I came across a new app called https://vexl.it/ and this app matches people up so they can buy and sell BTC in person and avoiding the KYC. But what I don't get is what the difference between a new wallet and another person's wallet. Anyone can create new wallet without any kind of KYC. Short of some next level big brother spying, how could any government really know a wallet is mine?

I would imagine a vase majority of BTC will make its way on to some KYC Exchange at some point. But as soon as we start to transact with BTC p2p the chain of ownership is broken, right?
