I went down the Agorism rabbit hole. I was also heavily influenced by the book "Your Money or Your Life."
I noticed many people with higher paying jobs are broke because that income gets taxed at a higher rate, and they often pay more for housing.
Then, their savings is taxed via inflation and they end up working 12 hours a day for credit card debt and stuff that will end up in a landfill within 5 years.
It's getting harder to live on a lower income these days, however. The government redistributed too much wealth for those of us with lower incomes to sustain ourselves so I'm brainstorming different business models.
Your story is an inspiration.
Businesses are being built on the lightning network. Unleashed.chat charges a certain amount of sats per second to do nostr research, edit your blog, or do a gazillion other things.
Meanwhile, people in traditional investment news say bitcoin has no underlying value. Yet, here we are, using bitcoin as a MOE.
I read between the lines and concluded, the halfing is not priced in.
Nostr is the beginning of hyperbitcoinization, but the BTC ETF Maxi's can't see it.
They don't know what a DVM is.
Great conversation.
I might pay five bucks a mintj if it cross posts to nostr nip26, kind 30023, Medium, and Substack though.
Have you tried habla.news or blogstack.io?
We're doing great!
To be fair, I'm pretty sure Tesla didn't use lightning, but BTCpayServer is the OG Lightning wallet for me.
The government is a joke.
Now that the ETF is approved, let's stop taking these idiots seriously.
Bitcoin ETF ticker symbols are starting to show up on Fidelity's website.

Okay, I'll buy a Bitcoin ETF at that price.
