Less is more 🌱.

Trezor One for 30€ on its website until end of month. Pretty good deal.

I've been living with a solid Bitcoin standard mindset since I joined Nostr, and it's now quite natural and intuitive for me to talk in terms of satoshis. I definitely believe that "sats" is the right unit for those who use Bitcoin as a currency and unit of account. But it's not ideal for those who use it solely as a store of value.

That said, I agree that most of the world currently sees Bitcoin as a store of value. So when speaking to that audience, using sats can be confusing. It's probably better to stick with the bitcoin unit in those cases.

We have lived in El Salvador for almost 9 months now. There was definitely an adjustment period. The road has been at times a little rocky and exciting all at the same time. My wife and I have battled a little bit during this adjustment period but we have grown closer together from our experience together. I understand her more now and I believe she understands me more as well. In the end, both of us now agree that this is the place where we want to live. Maybe the adjustment period we just experienced together was a detoxification that needed to happen. I don’t know. The experience has been profound.

When most including myself heard that El Salvador was the first country to declare that Bitcoin was legal tender, no one really had this on their radar. Why El Salvador? Most people knew of El Salvador from negative press, not positive ones.

President Bukele embodies everything that Bitcoin represents. He’s relatively young. He is a true leader. He is humble and very smart. His policies represent the people that he has sworn to serve and protect. The Salvadoran people have been through a lot over the years. This is a huge understatement by the way. Through all this, they are hard working, very polite and humble. El Salvador has shown the world what can really be accomplished when leaders put the interests of their law abiding citizens over the interests of those who are not law abiding and choose to do harm. Countries are taking notice.

When viewed from this lens, what other country better represents the ethos of Bitcoin than El Salvador? In my opinion, none. In many ways, El Salvador should have been the natural choice to be the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender given the data points above.

Yes, there is still lots of work that needs to happen yet. There are still many big problems that need to be solved. It is important to look at the progress that has been made. Look at where El Salvador is today compared to 5 years ago. When one zooms out a little, perspective returns, just like with Bitcoin. We all want the changes to happen immediately but that is not realistic. If it were that simple, some one would have already done it. PoW is a real thing.

El Salvador will succeed. It is destined to succeed. If El Salvador succeeds, it is a hugely positive development for the world and all the humans that inhabit Earth. This is why we live in El Salvador. We want to contribute to this success in whatever way we can, no matter how small or how big.

Nice 👍. I support the Humans Rights Foundation and its criticism to some government actions, accountability is key and there job is corner stone.

Even though I also think success is hard to achieve without some undesirable costs, and El Salvador was in very bad spot before Bukkele's arrival.

Got excited with the $100k, but then I realized its only €91k. So see you at $120k minimum.

First simple things, then complex things. Even though it was a quiet long evolution with numerous iterations between eggs and "protochickens".

With all the drama around (Bitcoin Core, Primal vs Damus...), it's nice to see Carl being Carl 🐈.

My firsts notes I believe are lost forever, probably relays went off or they got busy and had to clear space.

Many relays will honoured deletions because there are many good reasons to, others won't.

Hats off sir 🤠

You must be defeated sir, or Nostr will be the one defeated.

Unpopular opinion: People need to stop saying GM, and focusing on good content.

Maybe, but its true that USA ≠ America. There is north, central and south. "gulf of america" seems neutral. However "gulf of mexico" is easier to comprehend.

Pretty elaborated, sucks:

"Someone claiming to be @Bloomberg reporter Sergej Stojanovic is DMing individuals asking for an interview.

When you follow up with them, they send you a @Calendly link that impersonates Bloomberg CEO, Vlad Kliatchko as "Bloomberg Interviews."

When you book a call and talk to them, they get you to share your screen and give remote access. They then run a script that can rob you of your logins and any unsecured wallets. "
