The regime has blocked the Google notification and now when you reinstall your OS and need to reenter your Gmail, you cannot receive Google notification on your phone.

The only way to access your Gmail is by getting the verification code via SMS, which is in control of the telecom operators who work for the regime!

So basically they can read your emails and you are screwed!!

Morning Nostr.

I'm trying to get more active actually writing on Nostr, not just reading it. In that vein...

I was really in to cyberpunk novels back in the late 1980's through around 2000, then sort of fell out of the habit of reading them. So I have a poll and a request.

What happened to cyberpunk?

If you answer 1 or 3, what should I read that's new?

Does anyone have any good health/fitness/longevity podcasts to recommend other than Huberman and the other big ones?

What does 16/8 mean?

Okay #plebchain I need some ideas

I just learned recently that a friend of mine has a not-insignificant amount of Bitcoin on Coinbase, but we haven’t had time to have the self custody talk (other than a brief exchange of texts this week).

I want him to get those sats somewhere safer. Perhaps in less time than it would take for a beginner-friendly hardware wallet to arrive. I also won’t be available to sit down with him and walk him through setup for at least a couple of weeks.

Options:

- Desktop wallet. Hot, so some risk, and still requires a beginner to dive in and take on a very new responsibility of key management, without time to do it thoughtfully

- Transfer to a different custody service. Obvious counterparty risk, but with customer support and onboarding. And if it’s someone like Casa or Unchained, then there’s the added bonus of early exposure to multi-sig

- Other ideas?

You never know when a centralized exchange will implode and I’d like to spare him from the experience either way…

Wondering … will use my extra low hash rate miner ⛏️ as a lottery miner.

Each hash can hit the block and win 🥇 the reward plus fees.

Also low hash rate is low watts/h and low costs.

Probability is extremely low, i know, but you are betting a lottery ticket every 10 minutes, let’s sink that in 🤔

When your nocoiner friend utters some bad FUD about Bitcoin, what do you tell him to do?

Read some 200-page book? Check out a list of articles? Listen to a 2-hour podcast?

This is why I created the Breaking FUD magazine: 10 articles that take no longer than 10 minutes to read, which debunk the most popular misconceptions about Bitcoin.

philosophy is needed

The new supply of bitcoin will fall from 900 mined per day to 450 mined per day. The floor of what miners can sell their bitcoin for to cover their fiat expenses will be raised dramatically, since they'll be earning half the amount to sell.

Based on today's price and rate of issuance, there's ~$900 million a month flowing into bitcoin to maintain these prices. Even if that demand doesn't increase (highly unlikely, imo, given the banking crisis and money printing that's coming), the same demand would be coming for half the new supply.

💥

BREAKING: Bitcoin CEO confirms they anticipate severe supply chain issues in Q2 of 2024. They expect global restraints, cutting the new supply in half.

I'd recommend stacking what you can before Q2 of 2024.

What are all the ways that monetary debasement consciously or unconsciously impacts human behavior?

Buying shit we don't need.

Companies can't survive without generating reoccuring revenue.

"Investing" in anything that might hold value better than money.

...what are some others?

I really need to compile a long list of things related to the negative effects of inflation with as clear & simple of a causal link or explanation for each thing as possible. Like when money doesn't hold it's value (whether people realize it or not) people see that certain kinds of goods appreciate, often rather wildly at times, & they are driven to gamble on those things.
