Sell me all the bitcoin I can afford to buy with the fiat I have at the $30k level

Good idea, black would be sick. I I only have the white right now. How’s the size of the logo look? What size shirt are you?

How’s 115,000 sats shipped, if you’re in the states, sound?

Apple has me locked in with all the devices and the cloud. Shit my little

But if fiat savings that I have is their apple wallet savings account 😂

Copy, will look into it. De-applefying is daunting but thank you

For shits and giggles, what’s the most comparable #android phone on the market to latest iPhone?

Just got the prototype of the plain #Bitcoin white T, nostr:npub1an6xs9jt6apmw45rmvu8pnspewdp6juwcgp76fk72ruky4dmcadqwfze63 , thoughts?

This is size L and I’m 6’2 and 170 lbs for ref. #nostrplace

Exactly this. That’s how they got to where they are nostr:note1y0d5rc9t3e6jpx8zse4hr7cu264y9nvvfnmrsvxuvun3vdm6zzqsk8cfkj

Overall, the openness of Android is a major advantage over a closed system like Apple's iOS. The openness of Android allows for more customization, innovation, and choice. This is why we often see new software features, hardware, and accessories launching on Android many years before Apple adds support for these enhancements.

Generally, Apple waits several years for a new technology to mature and be in high demand before releasing it for their ecosystem. They market this as innovative, that no one else could do this besides Apple.

In some ways, they are correct. They waited until the technology was better, they waited until it matured, they waited until it was near-perfect so the experience was better than other products that had it for years.

In some cases, Apple has a better user experience, because they control the entire ecosystem. They *should* have a better experience in some cases since they're controlling and narrating it from the very top.

I may have been wrong when trying to explain this earlier. At the end of the day, these points don't matter. The discussions we're having aren't about which software platform is better. We aren't having a discussion about which company creates better hardware. We aren't discussing which company has a better user experience.

We are discussing which platform censors it's users. We are discussing which company is controlling and hurting people around the world by their censorship.

It's about abiding by a ruler when we are promoting protocols such as Bitcoin and Nostr which do not have rulers.

Agreed, user experience is vital though. I think of promoting use of custodial lightning wallets due to user experience. It makes sense and I understand why we do it, yet still struggle with it. User experience drives so much

It is still so interesting to me to see #bitcoin #hashrate continue to rip.

Putting it into perspective since July 21, hash rate has almost quadrupled (400% increase!) from ~100 EH/s to ~385 EH/s yet price is down from ~35k to ~30k, almost a 15% decrease.

What gives? Only thing I notice is Foundry USA has grown from like ~7% to ~32% of total hashrate dominance over the same time period but not sure what significance that has, if any. It’s just wild to me to see such a gap in these two metrics.

I’m glad so many people are experts on how Apple should run their business as the largest company (by market cap) in the world.

And to be clear, I don’t support banning a new technology in its infancy

Agree with this. Apple has and always will be a for profit company and needs to focus on making profits, it’s a vital aspect of the free market.

With that being said, it would be awesome for them to try and understand some of uproar their decision has made and look to integrate and/or adapt to work with this new technology vs. banning it outright. Just wishful thinking on my part that it could be a win/win for free speech and decentralization as well as profits in the long run, yet banning this technology in its infancy stifles any potential for this
