Hi! My name’s Lucy, I’m a nurse from the UK and an advocate for the carnivore lifestyle. I’m excited to share my content and learn more about Nostr and Bitcoin! #introductions

The median family income in the US has gone from 10K in 1971 to 55K today, a gain of 5.5x

however,

The median cost of a car has gone from 4K to 48K, an increase of 12x.

The median cost of a house has gone from 25K to 357K, an increase of 14x.

The median cost of an ivy league college has gone from 3K a year to 87K, an increase of 29x.

The average cost of healthcare per person has gone from $400 to $15,000, and increase of 37x.

Basically, the average person in the US is worse off today than in 1971. So much for "progress"

"I don't do regrets. Regrets are pointless. It's too late for regrets. You've already done it, haven't you? You've lived your life. No point wishing you could change it."

Cashu is not an alternative to non-custodial Bitcoin. Nothing beats holding your own keys.

Cashu Ecash is for custodial systems that respect user privacy, have better censorship resistance, and allow half-offline peer-to-peer payments that are instant.

The days of corporate blockchains are over. They make no sense at all, they're centralized, and they are peak inefficient. Ecash beats all of that. It's fast, lightweight, and cheap. If you're running a service, you should consider integrating Ecash for your users.

There are already dozens (!!!) of mints out there, run by organizations, companies, or communities. Among these companies are custodians, wallet providers, LSPs, and online shops.

When will we see the first ecash in-game currency?

Cashu now has native mobile wallet apps, headless server wallets, web wallets that work in the browser, and wallets for social media clients. We have mint implementations in Rust, Python, Golang, and like 5 other languages.

We have tiny invisible wallets that live in web pages.

We're working on an authentication scheme that balances operator control and user privacy as best as possible. You can decide who can use your mint.

We have a dozen different open-source libraries and wallets that are improving every day.

It's all yours.

We're just getting started and the new year is going to be massive. After two years of crazy work on an entirely new protocol, things are starting to take shape.

We have a vision which is to bring Bitcoin to every corner of the internet. Ecash will bring us there.

Thank you everyone who believed in us, especially those who contribute to this project. Cashu has become a place where you can improve your coding skills, learn to collaborate, work on open-source, and do literal magic ✨ (cryptography).

Next year is going to be massive 🫡🥜

Not much of a christmas person so decided to spend these days reading and sipping coffee with the fireplace on 😌 Hope you all have warm days with loved ones 💜

Stop shitcoining. Use Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is too slow for you, use Lightning. If Lightning is too unreliable for you, use Ecash.

Just stop goddamnit. Nobody cares about your ridiculous shitcoin and you're wasting your precious life.

Beautiful Antwerp!! Witzli-Poetzli is a wonderful little artist pub right around the corner there! 🍻
