10 days until mempools clear

trust the hat company, they said

it will be fun, they said

FAMILY, BITCOIN, NOSTR, AND FREEDOM.

WE ARE THE FEW. WE ARE THE RESISTANCE. TIME TO STAND THE FUCK UP.

The United States, where we pardon Turkeys instead of people who expose the truth.

hello, character count

Went for a run. Zero issues. Fuck yeah.

Grateful to announce we welcomed our beautiful baby girl to the world during block 816148!

My wife put in true proof of work throughout her long (40 hour!) natural labor.

We are all happy and healthy b’h 🙏🏽❤️

The next generation of #bitcoiners is here…

wallet of satoshi is a closed source custodial bitcoin wallet that many bitcoiners have installed on their phones with camera and clipboard permissions, most new bitcoiners throughout the developing world use it, and the overwhelming majority of nostr users

in my mind there are only three possible scenarios for WoS: rug, shotgun kyc, or deliberate honeypot

I'm interested to know if the product varies between countries too. Is a US big mac the same thing as a Japanese big mac?

What's the best book you've read on cultivating self control?

clear ice ftw

Looks like "Simplified Chinese" is the communist version of "Traditional Chinese" and that Taiwan and Hong Kong are the bastions of traditionalism in these matters.

Thinking about tweaking our fee structure for ZEUS PAY:

A

Min amt: 10

10-1,000 sats: 20%

> 1,000 sats: 200 sats

B

Min amt: 20

20-2,500 sats: 10%

> 2,500 sats: 250 sats

Note that with these lower fees, you’d almost certainly need a channel from OLYMPUS to be able to redeem payments on the low end.

Whatcha think nostriches? A, B, or are both still too high for you to consider using for zaps?

No promises, but would love to get some feedback.

Why the US Dollar is Surging Against the Japanese Yen

Japan raises money by taking out loans. It does this in the form of bonds: you give us 90 yen now, we give you 100 yen later.

Japan's bonds have a low interest rate. This frustrates Japanese bond holders. They want the 5% rates America is paying. So they are selling their bonds. And when you sell a bond, you get the currency of the country that issued it: yen. Now those people, who were bond holders, are now yen holders. But they don't want yen, they want American bonds. So they exchange the yen i.e. sell it for USA bonds.

And when you sell something, its price falls. Bitcoiners know how that works: when there's lots of sell pressure, bitcoin's price falls. Same with the yen.

So the yen's price is collapsing relative to the US dollar as people keep selling it.

Hey. You. Have a great weekend.

Best book you've read in the last 21 months?
