The Internet wasn't built in a day. Neither shall the Internet of Money.
In a calendar year, people who go to the gym are injured more number of days than people who don’t go to the gym 🤣
95% of people who have mirror selfies as DPs are morons. Ridiculous accuracy.

Not everyone is okay with living like an open wound. But the thing about open wounds is that, well, you aren’t ignoring it. You’re healing; the fresh air can get to it. It’s honest. You aren’t hiding who you are. You aren’t rotting.
People can give you advice on how to heal without scarring badly. But on the other hand there are some people who’ll feel uncomfortable around you. Some will even point and laugh. But we all have wounds.
What is Bias?
Bias is when you have a preference or a tendency to think or act in a certain way, even if it might not be fair or accurate. For example, if you always choose your favorite color when coloring a picture, even if it doesn't match the picture, that's a bias.
In real life, bias can be a problem because it can lead to unfair treatment of people or groups. For example, if someone thinks that all boys are better at sports than girls, that's a bias. It's not fair to assume that just because someone is a boy or a girl, they are automatically good or bad at something.
It's important to try to recognize our biases and be aware of them so that we can treat everyone fairly and equally.
What are Cognitive Biases?
Cognitive biases are like tricks that our brains play on us. Sometimes our brains make mistakes in the way we think or remember things, and these mistakes can lead to biases.
For example, have you ever played a game of telephone, where one person whispers a message to another person, and then that person whispers it to someone else, and so on? By the time the message gets to the last person, it's usually different from the original message. That's because our brains can sometimes remember things incorrectly or change them without us realizing it.
Another example of a cognitive bias is called the "confirmation bias." This is when we only pay attention to information that confirms what we already believe, and we ignore information that goes against our beliefs. For example, if you think that all dogs are friendly, you might only notice the friendly dogs and ignore the ones that are not friendly.
Cognitive biases can be a problem because they can lead us to make bad decisions or treat people unfairly. It's important to be aware of our biases and try to think critically and objectively, so that we can make the best decisions possible.
E2EE DMs are coming to Nostr 🔒
After being nerd sniped by hearing nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 mention OTR for the millionth time on the Bitcoin Review podcast, I spent the last few weeks digging into OTR, the Signal protocol, and a grab-bag of other cryptography.
The end result is that I (am pretty sure at least) that I found a way to do E2EE (end-to-end encrypted) DMs on Nostr in a way that is both forward and post-compromise secure AND doesn't require any centralized servers.
Demo video: https://share.cleanshot.com/nMKk6cn0
Live demo app: https://drdm-demo.vercel.app
And finally, the NIP (for those of you with bikes in need of a shed): https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1206
Huge thanks to nostr:npub1klkk3vrzme455yh9rl2jshq7rc8dpegj3ndf82c3ks2sk40dxt7qulx3vt and nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft for the chats while I worked out the details.

Someone asked me for advice on which Laptop to buy. I suggested going for a custom laptop with Linux pre-installed.
Specifically, I recommended checking out brands like:
1 - System76.com
2 - Frame.work
3 - Novacustom.com
These brands allow you to customize your Laptop according to your needs, such as adding more RAM and storage if you're into running Docker or a Bitcoin node.
Dear noobs, #Bitcoin is NOT naturally going down. It is being pushed down via whales placing spoofy sell orders on exchanges to make noobs and risk managers sell to "buy back lower". They are stealing your bags and will make you buy back at a higher price.
Boost this.
📖 OpenContacts.
• We will talk about an application on Android , which is an isolated contact directory. This solution will be of interest to those who are concerned about privacy and anonymity, the security of their contacts and do not want to disclose this information to third-party applications.
• The bottom line is that if we write down contact details in this tool, then no application on the smartphone will have access to them (until you allow it yourself). This app stores contacts in its own database, separate from Android contacts. By the way, the application is open source and supported by developers.
➡ You can download it from here: https://f-droid.org/packages/opencontacts.open.com.opencontacts/

#Monero is built with the most obvious application for a decentralized network in focus: privacy.
Tor, i2p, Freenet, and other decentralized projects existed before Bitcoin.
Monero will always represent crypto's best privacy effort. Monero isn't going away without a fight.
