Running a node is easy these days and fiat can be instantly converted to SATs. There are no excuses anymore.

I don't even bring it up anymore. If you didn't like bitcoin at wtk, you must hate it at 90k. Have fun on bluesky.
Congratulations an being awsome everyone. 🫶
I think you just connect a new onw. I've done it before, but now I can't remember how.
I got a decent tax return because of my solar pannels and there were $5,000 ACH tranfer limits. I thought I moved it all to bitcoin, but I guess I was wrong.
I accidently forgot I had $3,000 cuck
bucks in a bank account since July. I"m so pissed off at myself. 😡😡😡
Oh man, this was a good one. Maybe the topic of my next meetup. Love the idea of refining base layer Bitcoin (ore) into more useful payment options via technology.
I've never thought about Bitcoin value in this way, but it's true. Before you could buy pizza with Bitcoin it has no value, before exchanges it was worth less than a penny...

It's a good article, but why can't he see the potential of nostr?
We use bitcoin as a medium of exchange.
I would like to hear his opinion of clients like shopstr.
Not so long ago, I thought $600 was a lot of money.
It is, but SpotTube shows how much artists would get paid.
Fedimints and Cashu are more akin to free banking.
Bailed out banks can GFY.
I've officially stopped using the Spotify app.
Can Keet run on meshtastic? #asknostr
Has anyone check this out yet - seems like a positive forum for all of us US citizens to share policy ideas and proposals then discuss?

It looks a lot better than golf games, helicopter money, and cat eating stories.
If your block clock could only display one number, what would it be if it could not be the price?
I don't need or want to know what Satoshi's mom called him.
I run it on Umbrel and I don't bitch about it because it's early days. 😊
Mine hasn't worked for about a week. I think I need start over, but I'm kinda over self-hosted lightning wallets.
This was a great episode. I really enjoyed the stuff about misinformation as being a cyber atrack against "democratic institutions."
Yuval Noah Harari made this exact argument on The Waking Up Podcast. He thinks we need to fight misinformation and disinformation with FICTION to protect our institutions.
What career change are you making?
I used to think monero was better than bitcoin for privacy, but now I know monero is not necessary.
We can achieve privacy using chaumian e-cash instead of a blockchain. What's more, these e-cash solutions are interoperable with the lightning network.
The steel-man argument against this is that chaumian mints require some trust.
This is true, but Bitcoin is a peer to peer electronic cash system that requires no trust. We can trutnthst there will never be more than 21 million #bitcoin. Every other blockchain is an attempted breach of that trust, an attempt at debasing bitcoin the same way governments have debased gold by adding other metal to it.
That's my two sats.
I would rather trust a few thousand sats with an e cash provider than try to debase the p2p electronic cash system that bitcoin is.
Duck Duck Go has a free AI chatbot that has Llama 3.1 70B option. I use it all the time, but Venice also does images, right?
I think it's the incintives. The people who pay the politicians get paid to sell bombs psychopaths sign, but the ROI of saving people in a disaster = 0%.
It's sad, but destroyers make money. Heros lose money.
By the way, what's the d word?
How many pounds of meat do get with a half cow?
Hopefully this was included in their threat model.
