Proton is pretty bad for both linux cli and gui / mobile clients. It’s really a shame. I wanted to like it so bad.

idk who posted about Mullvad VPN on here but thanks! Been using it for a couple weeks now and loving it

Boosted. Will add to my list of resources also. Go well my friend

100%. Sounds damn good. Looking forward to seeing and using it

Breez is great.

Truth is that most people will find Bitcoin through a centralized service. I did, and within a few months I was sending everything to cold storage.

I didn’t recommend WoS because of zaps, but because it’s an instant onboarding to Bitcoin with a noob-friendly interface, and because they work hard to make Bitcoin accessible.

Nobody here is advocating storing any significant volume of sats on WoS or any other custodial platform 😉🫡

Gotta start somewhere, and WoS is an easy intro for someone brand new.

It’s not a sh*tcoin casino that sends crypto promotions every day. Doesn’t require KYC. Doesn’t even require an email unless you want to provide.

So it’s a far cry from a centralized exchange….

And next time we chat, we’ll discuss self-custody 👍

Also realised bisq sort of does this but not really!!

If you arent ready to or planning to use bitcoin in defiance of some sort of defacto or outright ban of bitcoin in the US...I think you should start getting your stack in order or get out. If this becomes a real global banking crisis they will blame bitcoin imo. They will take their best shot ; assuming that will happen should be part of your strategy as a user of and believer in the bitcoin network.

If Signature really was brought down by regulators to send a clear ‘anti-crypto’ message or whatever that board member said yesterday, then the message bitcoin sent back must have been completely terrifying to these people 🧡

Operation chokepoint and the deliberate targeting of Silvergate and Signature is a gross abuse by Treasury, but it wouldn’t have worked if those banks didn’t shitcoin. There are consequences to doing business with shitcoiners like FTX, Celsius, BlockFi etc… Sad week.

Nostr isn't the most thought-through protocol. obvious holes everywhere, such as the inability to undo a like.

on the other hand, when people start thinking things through, the result is usually over-engineering, not elegance. engineers suck at elegance, so when you see it, be grateful, because it is a rarity.

Orange-pilling progress report ✅

Team meeting today. My employer tells the whole company that cash funds were transferred out of you-know-which-bank, just in time. Everyone will get paychecks. Lucky.

Pulled him aside, asked if he knew anything about Bitcoin, and what he thought about it. He was interested and skeptical. (Note, very smart guy, tech background). Volatility and regulation were his main concerns.

I mentioned how volatility is an inherent quality of a young asset class, but that over the long term there are unique factors that give it a different kind of stability: 21M cap, blocks and halvings, difficulty adjustment.

Then I mentioned the unconfiscatsbility of Bitcoin, and said “if you want to diversify into multiple banks, sure makes sense, but maybe think about Bitcoin as a safer place to hold cash).

I expected major raised eyebrows at best, but he took it seriously. I’m optimistic 🤙

Oh, and my colleague who was in the same room asked me later “so how do you buy Bitcoin?”

Sent her 10K sats on #[0]​ and recommended a couple of bitcoin-only buying platforms, and then said “let’s talk soon about self custody”.

Let’s go 🧡💜🧡
