Keep the unbanked unbanked. Use Bitcoin.

Want more Bitcoin adoption?

Pay people in bitcoin. Earn bitcoin.

Onboarding merchants without customers who spend bitcoin is useless.

As a heads up, I’ve got some impersonators on Nostr now.

I will not message you to ask how your trades are going, lol.

It is!

We've decided to reduce the requirements for claiming a custom WoS Lightning Address! 🥳

✅ Lightning Transactions: 50 -> 10

✅ BTC On-chain Volume: 0.01 -> 0.001

This should open the opportunity up for thousands more to claim their _______@walletofsatoshi.com instantly! Tap Receive -> Customize in your WoS App to try it.

For context, currently around 1% of our monthly active users have claimed a custom address, so it is an elite group!🏅

I’m so sick of people using cups to measure ingredients. There are so many cup types. Especially hate when cups are used to measure dry ingredients like rice or other granules…

Because it’s so inaccurate.

Please just use mass everywhere!!! I don’t even care if you use imperial mass units. Just don’t use volume.

What do you think about this idea?

John Fitzgerald Kennedy speech highlights.

I just filmed a small thing with a local videographer in Egypt.

I asked him how he protects his savings from the recent inflation, and he said gold and real estate.

He does local work but tries to also do a lot of freelance gigs for international people paying in dollars online. The dollars get converted to local currency by his bank, but at least his income keeps up. Most Egyptians have income denominated in local currency, and if the local currency gets cut in half relative to the dollar, it is not as though they get big raises to keep up- they just make fewer dollar equivalents going forward. Unit anchoring bias works against them. But people who do foreign work just keep charging the standard dollar rate so their income goes up a lot in local currency and remains basically flat in global terms.

#BrokenMoney

Blows my mind that The Banks have not learnt from the last great protocol disruption in music, being the creation of the MP3.

Users flocked to Napster for reduced friction in distribution, regardless of how technically difficult it was. It forced the hand of the industry to quickly adapt and now Spotify is totally normal. Users are happy to pay for value, free market at work.

Surely someone in The Banks sees the similarities to the money protocol disruption being Bitcoin/LN. Would it not be more profitable by rapidly adopting this new protocol and create the next Spotify of banking?

Anyone ever just stop and think for a bit, about the fact that #Bitcoin fucking works?

Seriously appreciate it for a second from the view of those trying to think it up when this was literal science fiction. What an absolutely insane long shot. The very notion that practically a handful of nerdy anarchists & dissidents on the internet could create a global monetary network who’s rules would supersede governments across the planet… it’s almost idiotic it sounds so improbable.

And for everyone squealing about what the price did last week or how in 10 years we will have X problem or whatever… it’s easy to forget that it’s just there. That it’s working. That it’s half a trillion dollars worth. That it’s monetary policy hasn’t changed since block 0. And despite the ire of countless authoritarians… it persists.

What a wild fucking timeline.
