Since you're into #guns you should check out my shop. Https://arnzenarms.com and get 10% off when buying with Bitcoin.

Love your work.

Started my first wheel thrown teapot. Many ways this can still fail but we'll see. Nature of #pottery is to take the leap and hope for the best.

I'm a #gun store owner. You can buy guns from https://arnzenarms.com with bitcoin and get 10‰ off. On chain or lightning.

I don't post much, but I'm a bitcoiner and a pew pew enjoyer πŸ˜€

My wife got me one of those PCB art from you for Christmas. I've been scratching my head on how to mount it for framing. How did you secure it to the matting? I don't want to ruin it with the wrong glue!

I just watched parts 1 and 2 of discussion of the cosmic distance ladder by 3Blue1Brown and Terence Tao. Fascinating 🀠

Everyone should imagine (or actually do it) plotting their net worth in bitcoin. if you don't have a significant portion in actual bitcoin. You are going to zero.

I don't get it. Are the pics of hot lady the psyop? bro...

"legal tender" is a hammer where the government makes it a legal requirement to accept a currency for contract settlement, or for goods and services.

Fiat requires "legal tender" designation because it is worthless paper.

Bitcoin does not need "legal tender" because it is "real money" and in a free society people should be free to accept it or not. If bitcoin is a better money, people will prefer it, or suffer.

Eventually people will only accept fiat when they are forced to because of legal tender laws. They will preferentially trade for hard assets or barter or "favors".

At some point, they will choose to not comply and refuse transacting in fiat. At that point the currency gets reset. This has happened 4 or 5 times in past 50 years in Argentina for instance.

All comments on this thread failed to suggest a decent note-taking app that isn't super convoluted.

I used Telegram as a way to quick jot notes for future use, reminders and whatnot, but I am trying to move out of that, so I started using https://simplenote.com/, but what a weird app. It logs me out if I don't use it for like 2 days, I don't like the fact that it has these titles because I don't need titles, I just need a place to paste content, and also it's not chronological like Telegram messages but also I can't reorder the notes as I wish, they are shown by most recent updated first, which is weird.

Anyway, all of that was ok if it wasn't for the weird syncing issues that started to happen recently: it takes sometimes hours for updates made in one device to be synced to other devices, I don't know, it looks like their server is broken or something.

I don't know why I'm writing this note anymore, but I think we could easily have a note-taking app with private notes writing to private relays on Nostr.

I've been using Joplin. you can self host a server and sync across devices in a self sovereign way. it's open source. someone just needs to write a nostr wrapper for posting....

Generally insurance is one of the biggest scams. They happily take your money for *years* with the promise of help in the future. when something terrible happens, they find any excuse they can to no pay out. If they have to pay, they drop you or raise your rates going forward.

Any industry servicing sectors traditionally supported by insurance (medical, auto body repair, roofing) "price in" this subsidy so consumers don't price shop (its the insurance company's money) so prices are stupid and rise faster than inflation. This drives insurance premiums up faster than everything else.

Insurance company profits shouldn't be much higher than "pure interest " since the business model is about extracting the time value of money. But they are typically some of the most profitable companies around.

This excess profit is a burden on the productive economy. This is exacerbated by government mandates forcing consumers to have coverage which turns competition on its head making insurance companies try not to be the worst, instead of trying to be the best.

I sell guns for #bitcoin 10% off vs fiat at https://arnzenarms.com

I'd rather have bitcoin. not quite to the point where I won't accept usd. pretty much there for credit cards and optics though. 85% of orders are fraudulent.

Thank you Lyn!

Lurking / posting on #nostr for 20 min leaves me calm and hopeful.

Doing the same on X leaves me anxious and full of despair.

Probably because people who explore the potential of new things are just more interesting and joyful.

it is my opinion that we have another year of #bitcoin price appreciation. However, my 72 yr old mother in law asked me to help her buy some #btc. I pointed out to her to be careful because mother in laws asking about bitcoin is a literal top indicator.

I set her up on Strike but she had issues getting the bank usd transfer to work.

I sent her some sats to show how easy and fast it is.

Then I told her to measure her net worth in sats and be glad she's off zero.
