GM, do the world a favour today. Spend and replace.

Ah, Jimmy, a mere statistical tweak, why so shy? Think bolder. There is nothing the Almighty may not do for his favourite mining pool.

I understand the good intentions, but I don't think #Bitcoin or #Satoshi really care about prizes from Sweden's central bank :-)

MiCA Regulation is Just Around the Corner (co-authored by marcinliszka@nostrplebs.com). This short article is for everyone running a Bitcoin business who isn't sure if, when, and how the regulation will affect them.

GM, remember to spend and replace.

I have written a longer piece on the "legal title" to Bitcoin. As a Polish lawyer, I have written it from the perspective of Polish civil law. However, I suspect that similar issues may arise in other jurisdictions.

The purpose of this piece is to highlight the lack of necessary protection for Bitcoin holders under civil law. I have made an effort to make the text accessible to non-legal readers.

Now, do remember to stay humble.

nostr:npub1s33sw6y2p8kpz2t8avz5feu2n6yvfr6swykrnm2frletd7spnt5qew252p Hi Matthew, I could not help but notice that #bitcoinuniversity videos available on #Rumble are incomplete and lag behind those available on YouTube. Could you please fix this? I keep trying to de-google myself and would not like to lose access to valuable content 😀. Thanks. Cheers.

The competition for a block is escalating to a downright murderous level. The network has bacome a citadel.

It would be cool if integration of LN wallets with nostr of the kind proposed in nostr:npub1dx5q2el8nd4eh3eg9t2e25fd7zuqg7zxz6ldkc3uzgh66ss2yc6st288sj app became a standard.

Replying to Avatar BTC Sessions

I've just received a grant of $25,000 USD (in Bitcoin) to work alongside the Human Rights Foundation educating political dissidents around how to use BTC. I'm very humbled and excited.

Rather than focus on me for this post though, I want to take you on a journey regarding one of the stories I've witnessed at the Oslo Freedom Forum that has had the most impact on me.

In Oslo 2022, I watched a woman take the stage and talk about her activist husband who had been abducted and imprisoned in Nicaragua, leaving their daughter fatherless, as they had no contact with him at all.

I also met a wonderful woman learning about Bitcoin wallets for the first time, as a way to fundraise and get money into countries where dissident bank accounts would be shut down.

A year later I returned to Oslo and learned two things.

1. The woman I spoke with/coached and the woman onstage were the same person. Her name is Berta Maradiaga.

2. Due to the efforts of the HRF her husband Felix had been freed and returned to them for the first time in 3 years. They even showed a video of his daughter's tearful first reunion.

I encourage you to watch all 3 videos here. It is a harrowing story and it emotionally broke me watching it play out in real time. I got to spend a bunch of time with Berta recently at Bitcoin Park in Nashville, and she continues to learn about BTC and how it can be used to further their cause. She is wonderful.

Grab your tissues.

Congrats! I learned plenty from your tutorials. Keep up the good work.

On Friday evening, it took approximately 10 minutes from authorizing the transfer from Revolut to receiving a return email with a withdrawal link. I'm not sure about weekends. The total cost included a 1.5% Pocket fee plus Phoenix and LN fees.

SEPA transfer from PL to UK account takes a couple of minutes.

I have just tested nostr:npub1zv7d9l5ac0zdzeh5mzfyaegcdgcwn8m2uaxdpsj93hgp4nqjmd0s6k82ke Lightning. It worked flawlessly. It's useful when you need to get your sats in 10-15 minutes in Phoenix or Breeze without registration and with minimal KYC (providing IBAN).
