Kindle means your books aren't in self custody.

Thank you for the reply.

I understand the benefits. I understand not selling your btc. On paper it sounds great, and I really like the debifi model.

But getting shitcoins in return are less liquid than btc or cash. For example, if I want to use a loan to invest equipment in my business, I don't know of anyone in the real world wanting usdt, eth, or liquid(which is a pretty ironic name). At that point btc is actually more desirable or workable.

And as far as I can tell, if you want to take on shitcoins you have to go through another exchange. Which reintroduces kyc and potentially a tax liability. Am I wrong? I'm sincerely asking. If I didn't care, I'd go with strike or coinbase and have to turn over my keys to questionable actors with questionable motives and give up privacy.

I also realize that we are still early and these are growing pains. But this seems like a fear problem to solve.

Sounds great, but most of the offers deal in crypto that you still have to sell on an exchange. Why would I want L-BTC, tether or worse? Am I missing something?

I made these toy guns out of hardwood. I make them simple on purpose, without moving parts because they won't break and it allows kids to be creative.

The other day my son turned his into a pump action by taping on a Pez dispenser. Imagine all the after-market possibilities!

100%. Is bitcoin for the masses or not?

Fair enough. I agree education is better than ignorance. But Robespierre actually didn't see it that way.

Context matters. That quote said by that man is ironic. By his actions he wielded ignorance as a weapon to cause all kinds of tyranny and terror.

He was a wicked tyrant.

Unless you mean this ironically, you might want further education on Robespierre.

How would you define blind faith?

I am simply saying that Christians base their faith off of evidence, like scripture, creation, and the revelation of Jesus(witnessed in history and scripture). Not simply wishful thinking or something else without evidence to verify.

Many people think the Christian faith is a blind faith. As if we simply believe without evidence and logic that God is real. But God has revealed himself to us in a number of ways so that we can know that there is a creator, sustainer, and redeemer of the world. God revealed himself through creation, through his Son Jesus Christ, and through scripture. We do have evidence to evaluate. We can truly know him. We can truly know his plan of salvation. Don't trust, verify.

GM, it's the Lord's day. Go to church and worship the King.

Long, and satisfying, day milling. Someday these red oak boards will become sats.

Most lack books, let alone good books.

That's kind of my issue. Maybe that means I'm more of a noob than I think. I know there's more out there, but not sure where to start. I noticed that you do stuff with yakihonne, but not sure what the advantage of that is.

Maybe I'm only thinking of nostr as a Twitter replacement.

Thanks. I forgot i had actually downloaded this.

Mr Fox donates to henhouse security research.

Does anyone have good resources for advancing in my nostr knowledge? I'm not anoob, but not a coder either. I know there's more to learn and do, but not sure where to begin.

A combination of bad eschatology and an individual pietism leads to rotten fruit.

I get so much more a engagement on nostr than I ever did on Twitter. This place is great, and I'm barely scratching the surface of what nostr can do.

Agreed. And when we order our household with the God given hierarchy, we wage war against the principalities.

Pipe, prayer, and poplars. Beautiful day in the bold north.

Looking for a tax/ business advisor who knows BTC (thinks outside the box). Any ideas?

Think generationally:

-Get married, have lots of kids, raise them to do better than you.

-Build things you won't live to enjoy.

- fight battles that will benefit your, and your neighbor's grand kids.

- save in bitcoin(probably goes without saying)

She's taking dca in an asset that's debased and depreciating in value. Opposite of btc.

Having a family means you actually have more people you can rely on.

Exactly. A hopeful, long term view of redemptive history affects everything. It dovetails with bitcoin so well.

I wrote a booklet saying similar things.

If it's free you're the product.

If you want to gain respect, especially as a young man, do whatever you can to keep your word. Respond to others promptly(within 24 hours at most), keep your commitments, do what you say you will. In our day of rampant flakiness simple things like following through will set you apart.

And if you fail, own up to it as quickly as you can. And then do better next time.
