I discovered a great app that rewards you with sats for taking courses and quizes about bitcoin. I am seriously surprised how deep it goes into the topic of bitcoin and related subjects (no shitcoins). It's called Yzer, check it out on your appstore.

P.S. You can use my referral code for some extra sats: T7LB1V5 , but you don't have to.

#Bitcoin

Butter and coconut oil > milk, salt > sugar. This is how to keep your #coffeechain addiction going on #keto

Is this how it's done? #coffeechain #keto

Buttered coffee with coconut oil (MCT oil isn't available where I live), with a pinch of salt. Delicious.

There's many problems with XMR, it is simply not suited to be global money like bitcoin. IMO it has its uses for now. Until it gets too big, at which point it is destined to fail, get hacked or get an inflation bug. Bitcoin had several inflation bugs in its history, all of which were caught thanks to a public ledger.

Ultimately, all privacy focuses monero devs will flock to #Bitcoin and make it a more secure and private network, which is a good thing imo.

Liquid Network

Liquid Network is extremely undervalued. People are still thinking about coinjoins and arguing among themselves when they have a much cheaper method.

Remember that transactions on Liquid are confidential, only the signer of the transaction and the receiver can know what amount has been sent, for them Borromean ring signatures are used.

Manual for Dummies:

- You make a peg-in of the amount you want to anonymize, if you have an elements node (Liquid node) or use the decentralized Exchange Tdex the cost will be only the cost of the chain transaction, if you do not have any of the above available you can make a peg-in with sideswap for 0.1%.

- Once you have converted your btc inside Liquid to L-BTC you make a peg-out with sideswap, do not make a peg-out of the same total amount that you have made the peg-in and try to space it in time if there are several. The cost of the sideswap peg-out is 0.1% plus the fee of the chain transaction.

One way to avoid also performing the peg-in is to buy L-BTC directly for example on Bisq.

In the best case, the whole operation will cost you the fee of two blockchain transactions and 0.1% in the worst case 0.2% plus the two blockchain transactions, I recommend you to set up your own node elements or use the decentralized Exchange tdex to perform the peg-in without permission and avoid that 0.1%.

When you make a peg-out you receive btc that are retained in the federation, the allocation is random, so seen from the outside, Liquid is like a classic mixer but without centralized custody as it is federated, your coins enter the federation and when you leave with a peg-out you are given other coins that are not your initial coins thus breaking the heuristics of your initial coins.

All this is done without any KYC, you can increase the anonymity using tor or a vpn in sideswap so that there is no trace of your ip.

I gotta be honest, I still don't see the purpose of liquid. Do people actually use it?

Nostr and bitcoin lean anarchism, the left-right dichotomy is irrelevant to people who dislike authoritarian fiat based systema. I can agree with communist bitcoiners better than with right wing normies.

Central banks couldn't even keep their touted 2% target. If central banks and people in general were trustworthy enough to not steal easily available money, we would still be on the gold standard and we wouldn't need bitcoin.

You would definitely have less zombie companies. In a deflationary world, there is no malinvestment because there is no credit to create an artificial boom.

An individual would have less units of currency, but due to the implicit deflationary nature of technology, your money will buy more stuff eventually.

What's the price of a calculator? It's practically 0 because most PCs and phones have it as a free app. Deflation is what true wealth looks like. You can do and buy more stuff today than a caveman can because technology has created real wealth, regardless of any monetary policy.

You're still thinking like a Keynesian. By that particular branch of economic logic, a person who breaks a shopkeeper's window has increased the demand for glass and repairmen, which is good for the economy (false).

Inflationary currency enables fake growth, deflationary currency encourages real growth.

Having deflationary money encourages savings and discourages lending, which decreases time preference. People will choose more carefully how to invest their money also because they have to factor in natural deflation.

Should I start a substack, or continue posting exclusive nostr content? Topics would be about nutrition and metabolic health (for now).

Post again soon!

I like Saif's books, I think we are ideologically aligned, and I do sometimes listen to his podcast. Thanks for the support.

Made a new blog post. This one is about my lab results and subjective improvements on the #carnivore #diet .
