Not easy. At my work, despite all my knowledge... I still have colleagues who don't ask for any advice or sounding board... and the tell me how they're "All in on Ethereum (because they read some random article) but don't hold it in cold storage because the crypto exchanges are insured" 😳 or "I'm going to try and day trade Matic/Polygon" or "My buddy says XRP is better than Bitcoin".
I mean... I don't mind if people want to own whatever security or pump n dump they want... but it's soul crushing to have then pass up the hardest, soundest money ever created for something else so different and so inferior.
Well said. Bitcoin is a plethora of understanding: Math, Sociology, Computing Science etc.
And it takes someone to essentially implode their existing frameworks of money and power etc etc.
A lot of us are working hard to change this via education. ✅️👍
I honestly don't remember if it was LN or onchain... or even how it worked under the hood. But a pin key was being sent and confirmed. It was cool.
Congrats on the little tykes achievement in your status BTW 🤙
At a recent Bitcoin meetup a developer showed me a device (picture below he was holding) that could receive AND verify payments offline. The sender had to have online connectivity... but not the receiver.
Thinking about Squares' outage yesterday and can't help but think, #BitcoinFixesThis. Wonder if this this could be rolled out in Square to mitigate future payment outages. 🤔 Tag: nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m
I understand it's effect within an inflationary, fiat debt based system. But yeah. Ugh.
Why is the "target" inflation rate 2%? 🤨

(I'm paraphrasing from memory)
Just enough to steal from everyone with not too many people noticing or wanting to overhaul the system.
Soon though...
Tick tok, next block.
Daily Motivation 🤙 For those who need it on a Friday! Stack Sats of happiness!
Sending this one out anyone feeling like they're "stuck" in life at the moment and it feels daunting to see how things could be better...
Maybe you don't like your job. Maybe your relationship isn't going well. Maybe you're learning how to be a single parent. Maybe your parents are nearing end of life. Maybe it. all. fell. apart.
Life is FULL of challenges, heart breaks and tragedy.
But I promise... things can drastically change.
It'll take time and it might seem daunting. But here's what you do...
Take something you like. Maybe an album to listen to, maybe an activity. Maybe a long lost hobby. (But you have to love it. You love this thing or doing this thing.) Doesn't matter if you haven't even done it for a while.
Carve some time out purposely and lean into it as much as possible. Lean into it hard. Let yourself enjoy it like you have in the past.
Think of it as "Stacking Sats" but for happiness.
(This morning I thought of my 18 year old self and how I used to like roaming the neighborhood at dusk and listening to Blink 182. So I cranked their album on the way to work and sang as much as I could remember. Happiness Sats Stacked!)
Wishing you all a good weekend! 🤙
Apply this to most things in life. 🤙⚡️👍✅️
Fanciest word I've read all week. Lol.
Yes! First hockey pool I ever did as a lod was on my friends PC in his basement and we typed out our lists on a black background with neon green font and printed it out on the old perforated tear tab paper.
This one was OK. A bit too much sweet spice for my liking (cinnamon, nutmeg etc). There's a outlet others I prefer. But not a bad brew by any stretch. 🤙🍺
Web app (primal.net), iOS app (beta), and Android app (beta). I'm a big nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg fan.
Thnx.
