Morning Hand Drawing

Thanks for your note! Much appreciated!

I definitely agree. Freedom above all else. But it does seem like sats are proving themselves as real money better and faster than anything else.
Makes sense to me. I guess it just shows that sats on Lightning are the most useful and best thing to use. And/or that Bitcoin has the best builders. And/or that Bitcoiners are better at thinking into decentralized communities. And/or that shitcoiners are lame.
I have a random question: Is Nostr shitcoin-resistant? Or could shitcoiny scammers build shitcoin rails into a Nostr client if they wanted to?
I thought you’d get a kick out of that. 😂
Thanks Tuvok! (Zapped you back!)
Right on. Thanks man.
I put in my LNURL from WoS but Damus seems to default back to the email address style. It was working for others yesterday, so maybe it’s just shitty relay action today.
Okay. Trying another thing! (If this is too annoying feel free to ignore. 😂)
I put in my WoS email-style address
I tried something else. Wanna see if it loads now?
Alright lemme try something different.
Tuvok! How do I do the NIP-57 config?
Different topic… but is there a list of relays to “de-implement” because of how much spam they push into the global feed?
Beautifully done! Zapped you 40 sats!!! Thanks for being the first player too! Also, 3 is the best I was able to do with this one… but with a totally different set of films!
This is great and all true, but without a trivially easy way to buy Bitcoin, it’s all hot air. Very soon however, there will be a permissionelss and trivially easy way to buy Bitcoin that will be global. Then the promise of the message below will come true.
Don’t forget also, that without Ethical Bitcoin tools where users do not have to “sign up” or give away any personal information to use their own money, the outcome desired by everyone who can think is less likely to happen.
Bitcoin simply existing can’t make good things happen; it has to be used correctly, and services that do not help users use it correctly must be avoided and never integrated with.

Beautyon, thank you for posting this. I think you are right. The 2nd biggest question I always get about Bitcoin is, “how do I get some.” And then I cringe because if anyone from the non-Bitcoin world wants to dip a toe in, they usually have to put a lot of their time and identity into getting some.
Do you have something specific in mind when you say that “very soon there will be a permissionless and trivially easy way to buy Bitcoin that will be global”? If so and you can’t discuss it, I understand.
Just want to add that I absolutely appreciate your writings, interviews and thoughts, and you push me to try and think better.
