Swan bitcoin has a crypto broker company now in control of the Swan app?

Why?

And what the hell would I need Swan for after agreeing to use the brokerage?

that’s mostly what I’ve heard since ‘20. Go learn, go buy this book.

I just bought The Bitcoin Standard and when I’m finished reading it, and if I’ve retained even just one sentence of information on bitcoin I’m going to share it freely, shout it out to the rooftops, give away all of your meangirl acronyms…and there’s nothing y’all bitcoin knowitalls can do about it.

A real bitcoiner ™️

You might not characterize the community of bitcoiners as a welcoming group of folks. Market forces have caused some of the most vocal among us to have developed a certain “toxicity”. And this is a rational mechanism of defense against all the nonsense scams, schemes and fraudsters orbiting bitcoin (and boy are there a lot of them!).

However, I have a more welcoming idea to share. You can be a “real bitcoiner™️” without subscribing to all the angry toxicity. I’d suggest all it takes is understanding what makes bitcoin special. I have been accused of not being a “real bitcoiner™️” at times. But, I don’t really care. I’ve been on a continual journey of educating myself and my friends about this technology. You can begin to climb the educational ladder as soon as you begin to become curious. Understand what bitcoin uniquely adds to the world: digital scarcity.

A partially ordered list of the stages you might go through:

+ buy some bitcoin via an ETF

+ buy some bitcoin and hold it on an exchange

+ understand what makes bitcoin special

+ withdraw some bitcoin to a non-custodial wallet

+ withdraw some bitcoin to cold storage run a bitcoin full node

+ explore privacy preserving technologies like TOR and CoinJoin

+ buy some non-KYC’d bitcoin

+ convert all your personal assets to bitcoin

+ run a bitcoin miner

+ exclusively hold all your wealth in cold storage

+ exclusively use bitcoin to pay for all your monetary needs

+ move to El Salvador or another bitcoin-centric community/region

+ only participate in circular economies on the bitcoin standard

The beauty of bitcoin is that it’s a voluntary system that nobody controls. So don’t let anyone shame you into living up to their expectations of what it means to be a “real bitcoiner™️”. I’m somewhere in the middle of this list personally. The further I get down the list, the more curious I become about items a bit further down. I don’t expect I’ll be moving to El Salvador, but I’m a “real bitcoiner™️” and you can be, too.

bitcoin, the world of 1 million acronyms. 😵‍💫

don’t ask what it means…just go learn…thumbhow…or thumbthing.

There’s a lot that goes into it actually but for me, it really depends on 3 things when it comes to string changes and the frequency I change strings. One is obviously money, the other 2 are the tone you’re after, and 3 the bass you’re playing them on. I have a 5 string fender jazz bass with thomastik-infeld nickel flatwound strings $125 a set. They have been on that bass forever and will never be changed, when it comes to flatwound bass strings, the older they get, the better they sound. All my other basses get new Ernie Ball Super Slinky Nickel roundwound strings before performing or recording. The roundwound strings collect dirt from your fingers, go dull, sound dull not smooth like flatwounds, so the necessity to change them constantly is a rather expensive ordeal. But freshly installed roundwound strings for my ears, are very special, right out of the packaging they offer amazing harmonics and tones, it’s all such good stuff, now I want to go play….

nostr:npub12jhkd0yzkax0y8573v43zhnqfqav654n8wyvk7gayetmakcj3q0ssleem5 how fast can you change the strings on a bass guitar?

I was being facetious, I hate changing strings. And when I do I don’t rush, so for an answer I’ll say not very. 😂

Hello nostr. I hear this is the place. 💡
