Should we make March a Nostr only month? No Twitter. Nostr only. That gives you exactly one week to get your Twitter fix in.

Who's with me?

nostr is similar to bitcoin in that we do not need to convince people to use it

they will realize they need a censorship resistant communication protocol eventually

just need to have the tools and education ready for them when they do

Used the long press to change amounts. 🫤

But if you only have one amount, it goes straight into the invoice.

Current Arsenal of fav Bitcoin tools:

Phone hot wallet - Muun

Non KYC sats - Hodl Hodl

Hardware - Coldcard Mk4 (soon Q1?)

Travel security - Tapsigner

Node - Embassy

Lightning node - LND & Thunderhub

Living on BTC - Bull Bitcoin, Bitrefill, P2P local circular economy

Desktop wallet & coinjoin - Sparrow

Multisig & inheritance - Nunchuk

What have YOU been playing with & using? Anything else I should dive into?

As a value investor, I find Charlie Munger's recent WSJ-published arguments to ban bitcoin/crypto and thank the leader of the Chinese Communist Party to be embarrassing and sad.

I'm currently writing a research note to 10,000 retail and institutional subscribers on why it's dumb.

Munger has a history of arguing that someone should be able to "steelman" their opposing view if they are going to have an opinion on something, which means being able to articulate an opponent's viewpoint more convincingly than even they can. Recently on CNBC, Munger was quoted on his historical claim and then asked by the anchor to steelman bitcoin/crypto after his WSJ op-ed, and he was unable to and didn't even try to.

He doesn't know anything about Segwit, Taproot, block size limits, whether a base layer should be Turing complete or not, anything about power dynamics between nodes, developers, and miners, etc. Absolutely no clue, and no attempt at a clue.

Such a bad viewpoint doesn't only reflect his old age, but also reflects his inherent ethics at a structural level from inception as a banker. It undermines his entire legacy.

Even on the history of money and its problems in developing countries, Munger would be schooled in a Twitter Spaces by any random above-average bitcoin twitter anonymous account.

It's sad to see.

Friday afternoons are for memes apparently. And zaps.

Send Zaps non-custodial, receive zaps on custodial services and withdraw. If you’re don’t know how to self-custody on lightning, try starting with zaps?

I zap from Zeus and Blixt Wallet.

I receive on LightningTipBot and withdraw.

When you feel that urge to open the bird app…open Nostr and Zap someone.

Not only will you be happier not seeing the cesspool on bird app, you’ll put a smile on someone’s face, somewhere.

Butterfly effect. 🦋

y’all giving out zaps like candy

love to see it, need to step up my game
