Hodler, congratulations on making it to a new ATH! Where do you get off on your Bitcoin journey?

I'm back! Locked out of nostr because my phone performed an unauthorized factory reset 😭

Couldn't find my backup for a while too, backups of backups people!

Paying for a group dinner in Argentina is a production, as the largest bill is 1000ARS ($1.21)

The bank is still worse, and if you negotiate ahead of time, you can get better rates 🤷🏼‍♀️

I was recommended by a few locals and bitcoiners western union is a better option (than eg bank)

Gold or stocks cannot be verified like Bitcoin (rehypothecation, share duplication, counterfeiting). A superior asset class

Why do scammers always start with "hello dear"? Sure, a 60 year old grandma is on nostr starting conversations in between baking cookies & crochet

Canadian Federal court rules Trudeau's use of the Emergencies Act during the truckers' protest was unjustified & unreasonable

It is beneficial we have legal precedent against government overreach, incl freezing of bank accounts

Next time we have a high fee environment, remember it's much worse w/ legacy banking:

I paid C$50 to send a bank wire $480 to South America 😭

nostr:npub1gl723nmngd9adxh8hqgyrpnam8ha8m8pu04vfakr6g8k9e4y3m4s7ukd90 is gonna help me build Bitcoin miner powered floor heating when I have enough money to build my island citadel 🤙

Fuck yeah!

Ad has me thinking about how far you can take immersion Bitcoin mining at home - heat your driveway? ⛏️

Imo yes, but it's a matter of economics: retail price + right sizing your op so heat is useful when there's no snow, eg a switch to heat pool/hot tub. Would take a bit of Engineering work, creativity & iteration

Has any pleb installed immersion + radiant heat?

... and UBS says private blockchains are more innovative 🤣

It's 2024, but UBS (one of the world's largest private banks) is living in 2017:

"The fundamental case for Bitcoin is weak"

"Private blockchains are more innovative"

"Bitcoin is unsustainable"

A misunderstanding trifecta

They're the ones making decisions (including policy or investments as an advisor). But yes, def would prefer the developing world understood it first

Baby boomers have the highest net worth of all generations. So instead of ELI5, we need to ELIAB (explain like I'm a boomer) when it comes to Bitcoin
