Truth and family comes first

Want more adoption of NOSTR by Bitcoiners?

Invite your followers from other platforms if you still have an account!

This is how decentralised networks win from these centralised dystopian nightmare.

Need inspiration…

Luckily ignorance and naivety leads to pain, which leads to learning, which leads to truth, which leads to Bitcoin, which leads to sovereignty, which leads to survival.

Embarrassing failure of an orange-pilling last night.

I was at a neighborhood party and a neighbor asked me about bitcoin. We talked for a bit and he asked me how to get some. I said I'll send you some right now and you can send me cash via zelle.

I tell him to download Phoenix wallet. So far so good. I fired up Strike, loaded up $100 and tried to send. Failure #1: the $100 apparently needs to clear before I can send it anywhere. First time that's happened to me and I use Strike somewhat regularly.

Ok, no problem, I'll just send it from my node. So I fire up nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 , scan the QR, and hit send, and it spins.....and spins......and spins......and spins......and then times out.

No indication of why it couldn't complete before timeout. I have plenty of overall outbound capacity, and no trouble connecting to the node. I guess my set of channels aren't well enough connected or the outbound capacity isn't in the right channels. Failure #2.

So at this point I'm really starting to look like an asshole.

Final attempt, I guess I'll try sending on chain from my node. So I ask him to switch to an on chain address and send the sats...success! Well, only on my side.

Phoenix gave him no notification of receipt and the balance didn't show up in his wallet until after it was confirmed. Failure #3.

Needless to say, this guy is probably not too impressed.

Yeah, non custodial orange pilling shouldn’t be this hard.

But it is, I have similar experiences

My boomer mom apparently oranged pilled herself. After years of ignoring my Bitcoin journey, she has come to terms with it being a force for good. Is it the Lindy effect? Was it media reporting less negative?

So I was kinda surprised when she asked me: “Where can I buy Bitcoin?”

Saturday schedule:

- Scrambled eggs for breakfast

- Power HIT training

- Barber

- Fish for lunch

- Chores around the house

- Family time

- Playing games with the kids

- Self made Pizza

- Walk with GF at Posbank

- rewatching pirates of the Caribbean together

The goal is to feel good, have self and together time in balance

Your day?

Bitcoiners are in a cult

See you around in a few months
