Why's everyone talking about Roger Ver again?
Fuck that guy.
I bought a house in Southern California a couple years ago, but escrow was held up for three months because of a squatter.
The main problem is that the money is broken.
Real estate is used as a store of value and source of revenue. People rent out rooms or use AirBnB as an investment.
The average price of a home in California is just over 11 bitcoin, but most people earning $25-$40 per hour with no assets to their name, can't afford a down payment of 1 bitcoin. My wife is a principal and could not qualify for a mortgage on her income alone. A decade ago, teacher's could qualify for a mortgage with 3 or 4 months salary. Now you'll need at least a year's salary and a second job.
And let's be honest, most people, if they save anything, save dollars.
This caused a severe housing shortage.
A significant percentage of working people can't afford a roof over there head.
The squaters are a Mandibles style situation. There are laws against squatting, but they take a long time and eviction can be expensive, but losing 6 months of rent is also expensive. I'm a bleeding heart libertarian, and the housing crisis bums me out. I feel bad for both the homeless and the homeowners. They're both victims of the fiat ponzi.
Butterfly on our nectarine tree.

4 years ago, my wife asked me why I needed to make my bitcoin custody so complicated.
Why couldn't I just leave it on the app?
Last night, SBF was on the news and she tells me, "I used to think you were a little crazy for doing all that stuff with your bitcoin, but now I get it."
Yeah, primal runs a cache but amethyst doesn’t. In this case, there’s no easy way for a nostr app to figure out what relays hold the posts by nostr:npub1988zenmhu5tdfz5lhq0ph7u7gv8qpfykplmr4mjxa79kuaslnseqaeu2yx Which i linked to.
It’s a problem. One solution would be for a client to push a mentioned / reposted note to its relays. Another would be for you to add wss://purplepag.es to your relay list so you can always find what relays an npub is on, that works IF your client uses inbox/outbox model.
I think we need a better solution, like a DHT where you could publish your npub and what relays you’re using, signed with your nsec.
Thank you. I'll add the relay.
This indieweb thing is interesting and so is Ben's getblogging site.
Same thing happened to me, but it works on primal.
I say we, but I didn't know what the hell I was doing back then. 😄
It was called the blocksize wars.
Bcashers thought we should increase the blocksize to scale.
We wanted segwit to use lightning, but keep the blocksize small.
The corporations wanted something else.
A hard fork caused by a disagreement in August, 2017.
It was like a Bitcoin Civil war. B-cash, as we call it, lost.
What's the new Xwitter scam coin?

I'm pretty good at multi-sig. Dancing...not so much.
I want to test it more, but I've been having issues running it since the logins were added. I'll try again this week
$25 a month makes no sense given the amount of people willing to pay in bitcoin, but it makes sense to get a lightning wallet and bitcoin wallet in the off chance people are willing to pay in bitcoin.
Strike also has interesting business options.
I'm not sure this is true, but it confirms my bias.
That being said, I am 99.9% sure I know what happens now.
I think that's what we're doing.
I had a hell of a time learning how to use the cold power, but I figured out the problem.
I couldn't see there was a power switch without my damn reading glasses.
What's the webserver for and what is your threat model?
There is no alternative.
I like "got inflation,” except I don't feel comfortable putting a sign with a bitcoin logo on my lawn.
⚡I accidentally got on zero this month and it feels so good.⚡
I was on hold for 30 minutes because I paid off my credit card, but an automatic payment also came out so I have $0.00 in my checking account.
They will reverse it, but it will take 10 days.
I'll probably get overdraft fees, but I would rather pay them then sell a single sat to for fiat.
I'm not so sure. I just don't think they've updated their payment rails for 30 years.
Banks are a pain in the ass.
I read that book a few months ago. It was eye opening.
