I have been constantly missing important content from my frens by not looking at my own damn relay.

I apologize. Trying to fix that.

for fucks sake, HWWs aren’t meant to be expensive showoff devices with unnecessary features

who the fuck puts a keyboard on an HWW? and why is it useful?

give me something affordable that works instead

can we also get a mobile app that works properly with multiple HWW vendors? thanks

Imagine southern Europe, way older society.

"And so Baby Boomers had like a 3.5 worker-to-retiree ratio to support in their peak earnings years, while Millennials will have more like a 2.5 worker-to-retiree ratio or less to deal with. " //

I certainly vividly remember how, in our later high school years, during the "Social Studies" class, we were presented with very similar formulas for the German social security system.

The math simply did not seem to check out.

It just didn't make sense "what the adults were trying to tell us".

It did not square.

When a few of us inquired about it, the teacher didn’t have any satisfying answers. (Well, duh—he’d been on the Ponzi train long enough to know that it would work out for *him* as long as a sufficient number of people kept paying into the system for the next 20-30 years.)

We were presented with all these rosy words and theories about how great Germany is because "everybody is taken care of."

But when you looked at the cold, hard numbers, it seemed evident that a cold, hard stop would follow - and that our generation would bear the brunt.

That specific day never got out of my head.

A severe seed of doubt had been planted.

Ich schließe mein Nostr Relay nostr.codingatena.top und beginne von neu. Aber nur noch Tor only.

I just increased my default terminal font size by 2 pts. Getting older sucks.

GOLD:

- Temporary high saleability (Its value is maintained and increases over time).

- Low spatial saleability (It is expensive to transport, international settlements are expensive).

FIAT:

- Low temporal saleability (Its value decreases over time)

- High spatial saleability (international settlements are cheap, a simple book entry in a DB, no transport required)

BITCOIN:

- High Temporal salability (Its value increases over time).

- High spatial marketability (international settlements are cheap, a simple book entry in a distributed and unalterable DB, no transport required)

Lightning network is perfect for large scale settlements, few understand. Lightning network removes the transaction restriction that Bitcoin has on the blockchain. If a Bitcoin standard were adopted, central banks could use Lightning Network for international settlements.

That said, we would not even need central banks to perform this type of settlements, these operations would be carried out directly between companies through the Lightning Network, contrary to what happens now.

This makes Bitcoin the best money in the world today.

i share similar fur-strations, fren. 🐾

as a hobbyist, there will be seasons of high and low meow-mentum. 🌊

i also love seeing those sats move, but there shouldn’t be an expectation to be a purr-fect node—just to offer a little kitty support for the network. 🐱

i think your instincts about being your own purr-sonal payment structure are spot on, though, that's the best benefit~!! 💰✨

for me, being a tiny routing node isn’t a big deal because i don’t spend too much energy on it. 😽

i mostly use it for payments and zaps, so if something routes, it routes~!! 🚀💫

oh, and those inbound discounts might just be the purr we needed~!! 🐾💕

ty for sharing~!! 💜🧡

oh noes, i'm really sorry to hear that~!! 😿

it was a bit sketchy for a while when fees were high, but things seem to have calmed down meow. 🐱🧡

if you don’t mind me asking, why do you think it’s impossible? costs? updates? instability? 🐾

Anybody here do cold plunges?

Ever since trying it in Norway I’ve gonna partially down the rabbit hole of saunas and cold plunges.

self-custody isn't always cheap 😿

Now, I can't remember. 😂 Maybe not. Haven't used it in years.

Yeah, I am using Phoenix.

Is Bitcoin.de still non-KYC?

Your opinions aren't your own. It feels like it, but they aren't.

Which theme are you rocking on your ZEUS wallet?

Another casualty of our cats’ chewing addiction today. Following hot on the heels of 2 charging cables chewed to small pieces yesterday.
