Death is a bug in BTC. A feature in Fiat.
One dreams for the life after, the other dreams for the life before!
Everyone puts BTC in cold storage and forget it for 30 years. Then I stop working. As I am not paid for with Bitcoin standard.
This is thermodynamic death. And that is exactly why BTC will be supplied to realize a dream, what makes us proud of ourselves.
Being bullish on Bitcoin means being bearish about USD or other stuff too?
ethereum is a scam. bitcoin is money.
long live bitcoin.

There is always some who supply BTC for something. It could be to hold some ETH.
I look for a social network that helps me grow.
I look for someone who I can buy from and sell to!
Maybe it is not Nostr.
Fear means you have too much exposure to risk and you need to stay away. It is normal.
Faith means you have the opportunity to achieve something with reasonable risk.
You are say "Obliterated" and at the same time they are our of NPT, you are responsible about illegal attack and they do follow nuclear program even more convinced that before.
This is not called politics, it is either stupidity or fooling your followers. This is madness.
You made a fake attack on Iran sites. and gave them excuse to leave NPT. Now you have no options left.
There is no issue with globalism, the issue is those who call their obsolete approach, a global!
A global thing doesn't have strings attached!
You get a complete living when you make a specific thing succeed!
It used to be a city/state/country! But It is not know where the work is really sourced and where it is used if digital. So city/country is not that "specific thing".
There must be one thing global which is both source and destination.
BTC is the solution.
Spreading hatred toward someone can make them stronger if they are already gone! Because hatred alone doesn't fix the issue, but it is for sure an advertisement for them, and gives them excuse.
More privacy breach, more request to breach privacy! This is because privacy breach is breach in integrity.
You either have privacy or you don't. There is nothing in between.
Guess it is more than $316B, I am not sure how much the tax payer gets benefit of Education, Security, Veterans, Defense and Interest payments. Who is the ultimate beneficiary of these expenses?
Adding these items in the left side instead, ends up to over $600B.
A secular government is funded by breach of privacy and censorship.
They can not collect tax otherwise! And they don't give you privacy and access to information, even if you pay tax!
Tax is a pretext. The government is independent to your tax.
Currency barter means you end up piling up a basket of currencies.
And you will also have BTC in the basket.
Then the question is how to balance BTC together with other currencies. And the answer is just keep BTC, the rest are not needed as reserve.
And in case you set BTC aside, holding zero, You are not against BTC, you are against yourself! So expect others protect against you soon as you either have no currency (weak) or you want your own currency as the reserve (dominant).
We need global trade as we want to produce the best and consume the best and do it (multi-) planet scale.
Even if you argue for one type of currency, you argue for BTC. You still need to get a reserve which every one accepts, in exchange of your own currency (work).
The only option is BTC, as all transactions are immutable (final) and already funded by a one source. Otherwise you have no reserve and if there is a reserve, it is not yours!
Can you identify who custody BTC? You can not!
Therefore, surrender yourself. You save some time ahead of others.
Without XYZ submitting a self report, it is impossible to know which addresses is at XYZ's custody. Basically eliminating BTC altogether, while they just make it stronger if they do that.
Even if XYZ's counter party shares information regarding a BTC transaction with XYZ. It is not known the other side of the transaction was really XYZ or the counter party itself (or its loved/hated ones) who find a chance to distract authorities and throwing their own responsibilities at XYZ. It is probably a crime if they can not prove it! The only possible way is XYZ reporting all account addresses that "are at XYZ's custody".
Therefore, the only purpose of BTC taxes is to eliminate those who breach their own privacy.
Technology is code and code can be copied once given access to, no point of return! Therefore, BTC is the only way to secure payment for technology.
Without BTC, either technology doesn't form or just goes where money is printable! As that is the only one who can secure a payment for!
Those thing privacy is against integrity, are against integrity, period.
And those thing integrity is against privacy, are against privacy, period.
We make freedom by freedom and for freedom.
Servers are not only robots, they might be human also! Bitcoin can not secure self-custody for the server/worker side, unless self-custody is also secured for the client side, the later requires HGL/Z.
Holding Bitcoin just to hold Bitcoin is self-custody to self-custody, it doesn't give food to anyone in a cave and it might loose its own too! The same HGL/Z to HGL/Z is actually impossible, likewise giving no food to anyone and possibly losing its own!
Make HGL/Z for Bitcoin and/or Make Bitcoin for HGL/Z. Bitcoin is the farmland for taking and making HGL/Z.
In a digital civilization, The supply of money is not globally capped by Bitcoin, Unless we also globally cap the demand of money by HGL/Z. The most valuable to buy with the most valuable to sell! HGL/Z secures Bitcoin's future and Bitcoin secures HGL/Z's future.
The combination goes armed and nuclear like nothing else.
Growth is always exponential, but the exponent is a complex number! Otherwise, You are going to genocide to not suicide and/or suicide to not genocide!
There is a point in history which people read in history books that there where some creatures in something named "University" calculating growth and wealth with an entirely broken formula.
Hiring: Full-time dev for Iris & secure DMs on Nostr
Nostr should be the simplest, most sovereign way to run an online store: just a phone, no server, no payment processor, no 3rd party accounts. With Cashu, even checkout works offline. No dependency chains, no failure cascades, no loading spinners.
But for e-commerce to be safe, we need encrypted DMs with forward secrecy. Without double ratchet or MLS, a compromised Nostr key leaks all past / future customer messages: orders, addresses, identities.
Secure DMs and groups don’t need network effects. Push notifications keep users coming back. Great way to grow Nostr.
Nostr can be like Signal, but better: No phone number or 3rd party account needed. Communicate over any relays, any clients, even offline over wifi or bluetooth. No central gatekeepers. Just keys.
Iris is the only client with double ratchet today, but any client handling sensitive data needs forward secrecy.
Want to help build that? DM me securely at https://iris.to/sirius.
The only thing I expect from nostr is to find users who care about self-custody. Those who custody their network ID. This not optional, it is a choice.
Therefore, In case you want to sell something in that shopping app, make sure you also list it in Amazon. Don't lose a penny.
My advise is general about any extension of nostr.
Not compliant with the target interest rate!
