What are better word than 'custodial' / 'non-custodial'? 🤔💡

*marital conversation*

*getting louder*

*exchange of opinions over the whole apartment*

Man, loudly: "WELL THEN DO WHATEVER, BUY IT, JUST - STOP - NAGGING FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!"

Woman, calmly: "Well thank you, we finally moved somewhere."

*man slams the door*

I won't buy it, because it's insanely expensive, but it's nice to know🫶😂

Will nag tomorrow over how expensive it is.

Number one requirement of any dating app is to have attractive women.

NGU will sort some of this out. Then the challange is wading through a sea of utxodiggers.

Has anyone made some sort of Nostr dating app? Every single guy I talk to seems very frustrated with the centralized dating apps that currently exist. Wouldn't one that isn't so exploitive do better?

But then again, the big problem to solve is, how do you get the single women on here?

My friend once posed this question to me…

“What if we can’t have a libertarian society unless everyone is 130+ IQ?”

I didn’t have a good answer, because I think he’s right.

It’s ok to leave social media completely behind and move on with your life.

It should never have been a major pillar of human existence to begin with.

#Nostr can remain casual and still be there to publish the important stuff when needed 🤙

ALL TACOS ARE NOW ILLEGAL DID I GET THIS RIGHT?

Privacy is normal and good.

There has been an effort among authorities to make “money laundering” and “financial privacy” the same thing. That is, the mere act of moving money privately itself becomes a crime. That’s not okay.

Money laundering is when money that is obtained through crime is concealed by obfuscating it with clean money. The actual crime is the initial non-financial crime (say, mob stuff), and historically money laundering involves manual activity to work with the criminals.

Now that open source tech can make certain transactions private, authorities increasingly equate all private money transfer with money laundering, even if the developer of the open source tech had no direct involvement with criminals. Authorities target them regardless, and sanction the technology itself. Financial privacy becomes synonymous with crime in their minds, and in the minds of the public.

I took kids to grandma yesterday, we have now few days off. Busy days, but we're free with our thoughts.😅

Today we skipped breakfast and just talked over coffee. He was making fun of me, I was making fun of him, we held hands. It's been ages since we could just talk and I remembered again, that this guy is the absolute highlight of my life.

And nobody will ever see him, apparently, he doesn't want to. It kinda makes me think if he's not just imaginary.👀

But his account is bitching nonsense all the time, so I'm not crazy, right?

my opinions don’t change if i learn what happened in some random convo. Bitcoin doesn’t care.

we need a healthy open source Bitcoin community. period. no matter what. Bitcoin won’t succeed without one. even if we want to ossify, Bitcoin Core 26.0 won’t last us centuries to come. open source projects need open source devs and an open source community.

we should focus on no strings attached funding for devs. the community has worked tirelessly to set this up with things like OpenSats, Brink, HRF, Chaincode, etc. to enable that effortlessly for us and the devs.

we as Bitcoiners should want devs to build whatever they think is best. engineers are the artists of the digital world. the smartest most forward thinkers in the room. we want to enable them. they aren’t ever a threat, don’t mistaken them for one. why? because the only way Bitcoin can change is if we, the network, run their code. let them create. we the network, the people, decide what gets adopted.

if someone builds something terrible, we won’t run it. that’s happened many times before. see Segwit2x, BitcoinCash, etc.

often times engineers strike moments of brilliance in Bitcoin. a very famous example is Segwit and how we got Lightning. nobody thought Segwit was possible technically. was never clear if or when we’d ever get Lightning. a few open source engineers named Luke and Eric found a brilliant solution. we adopted it. we now have Lightning being enabled by Coinbase. let engineers create art. fund and support them.

wanna ossify Bitcoin? run Core 26 forever and never update. no problem. don’t wanna fund devs? no problem. we don’t need to agree on these things. however, if you want the entire network to agree with you, you need to go out and advocate for consensus around your vision. that’s just how bitcoin works. the network moves as one, not from a meeting or self elected group.

bitcoin is a distributed network. it progresses through distributed consensus. the network will act in its own best interest, not based on anything else. fund the best engineers to protect and advance the one chance we have at reinventing money for humanity. adopt what we want, reject what we don’t. if there’s anything we need to work on every cycle with new entrants is public discourse and how to arrive at consensus as a distributed network.

also, everyone should breathe. it’s all love and gonna be ok. Bitcoin was designed to not care and last through anything 🙂

I think the working thesis is that if I’m Saylor, the longer I can keep the Bitcoin the way it is, the longer I can keep the Government looking over “here” (Bitcoin is digital gold, nothing more, nothing to see), and the longer I can stack, unencumbered by regulators.

If Bitcoin scales as a medium of exchange, getting into more hands of the people around the world who truly need freedom: that’s a problem for Governments, and it’s a problem for MSTR when folks realize holding Bitcoin is better than holding exposure to one company’s Bitcoin treasury.

I could be way off. Either way, with Governments involved, millions of new Bitcoiners, corporations coming in, dev stand-offs: it’s going to be a bloody few years in Bitcoin and I’m here for it.
