This Nostr stuff feels weird and disconnected. I feel like I’m in solitary confinement. Who the fuck even hears me? Nobody. What’s the point? Someone let me know what the hell I’m getting wrong.

I’ll tell you how my trading is going.

I’m trading my limited and valuable time on this planet for an endlessly inflated currency that loses purchasing power every year, and then I trade that for the most mathematically secure and sound money that has ever existed in human history, so I can store the value of my time for the future when my family and I will need it most.

That’s how my trading is going.

You can still run it and host it yourself.

And if you're good with Google Play you will still get updates.

They have a restricted "source viewable" license that prohibits commercial development.

Which is much better than closed source but not FOSS and causes some problems.

Good Afternoon #nostr 🫖🍵

I'm looking for a better alternative to Revolut. After a solid year of use, I have woken up this morning to a barrage of KYC requests and I'm kinda unwilling to facilitate the madness .. any suggestions?

The bitcoin energy-value model currently estimates bitcoin at $50k.

* It is two times cheaper to buy bitcoin than to mine it.

* Exchange liquidity are depleting since 2020

* Next halving in 8 months

* Several big spot ETFs on the verge of being approved

* Inflation still around

IMO, the only reason bitcoin could fall short to medium term from here is if there's a huge economic shitstorm.

Otherwise god candle incoming 🚀😎

If you don’t think 0.1 #bitcoin will make you a USD millionaire you don’t understand it yet.

hey Standard Notes users

they changed the license to a CC nonFOSS a few weeks ago.

No more updates possible from FDroid

total bummer. I liked that app (and sent them some monero)

I am a Bitcoiner. Why do you want me here?

Because I will produce. Because I want to be free, and I will work my fingers to the bone and my mind to the breaking point to bring that freedom to me. I will inspire people to do better. I will show them that they can work harder. I will bring them together, and they will be stronger for it.

I am a Bitcoiner, and people will want to be like me. They will emulate me, they will ask for my help and guidance. They will bring their ideas, their products, their hopes, and their dreams, the fruits of their labor. They will bring it to me because they know I will repay them in kind with my own.

We will build, we will produce, we will create. We will bring those below us up and show them they can be more. And those above us, will we not bring them down? We will not fight them with violence, destruction, and hate. We simply climb past them and leave them behind. And then they will want to follow us.

We build community and business and camaraderie. We create value, prosperity, and hope. We create wealth and strength, and power. And all will be welcome to join. We will not create value on paper notes and ledger entries. We will create it with sweat, hands, and minds. We bring business together, we facilitate the growth and production of the things that we have right here. Our fields will grow green and vibrant, our livestock will be robust and strong, and strengthen the land on which they roam.

We will ask questions and seek answers and sharpen our minds. We will value the things that are real, and we ignore you when you tell us that we can't. If you try to take from us that which you did not earn, we will not let it go. And we will show the world that what you did not earn does not belong to you.

And because of this, more will come, and we will grow tall and we will grow strong with hope. None will be above the other, for all will know the game and all will have nothing but the rules by which to play. Wealth will flow to us because value and truth we will provide. If you try to hold us down, we will work harder. If you try to fool us, we will grow smarter. If you hold us back, take without earning, lie and cheat to take that which we have made, built, and created, and which you have no part in, we will leave. And all the things we have built, the community we have forged, and the hope we have made flourish will leave with us. And you will have nothing but dust at your feet.

The house I built is not yours to live in, the trail I blazed is not yours to claim. The seed I sowed is not yours to give away. If you want that which is mine, then offer only what is yours. Show me that you too have blistered your hand on the shovel, bent your back in the sun, forced your mind to the edge, and produced that which is real. Worked hard for what you trade. Simply tell me that mine is now yours to take, yet you have nothing to give in return. Then you will soon find that I have taken my fruit and I have gone. And you must now water the tree on your own. I wish you good luck, but the hose is heavy and your back is weak.

I am a Bitcoiner, and you don't want me to leave.

Thanks for your reply.

I was actually thinking of keeping two profiles, a public one where I can interact with the big apps and websites and a private one, a device with more protection where I can do most of my activity and keep it private.

Don’t know if that’s just too complicated, but I guess I want opinions regarding best privacy browsers, OSs, email, etc.

If you are a Binance user, please listen carefully.

Take your coins off the exchange right now.

It's not looking good – many executives are resigning from Binance. It's better to be cautious than to risk losing all your money.

Don't wait; just do it.

Beauty is objective

Anyone else feel like their time moves at a different pace after hodling bitcoin compared to before hodling as well as compared to no coiners? I no longer have the feeling of being stressed for time or not having enough of it. I value time immensely but I'm also more accepting of the natural passage of time. Before bitcoin I would get anxious whenever I felt like I wasn't spending my time in a productive and busy manner. However nowadays I fully embrace the more mundane of days and find beauty in boredom. I believe as long as we strive to bring value to this world, and consistently live with a POW mentality, things will fall into place as they are supposed to, at the exact time they are meant to. Because of Bitcoin I whole heartedly believe and trust the divine timing of how our lives unfold.

The fiat system makes us falsely believe our lives are all supposed to unfold the same way. It deceives us into thinking we must all reach our educational potential within the same time frame, we must obtain success within a limited time frame, we only have a small window of being healthy, and there are all of these pressures to become "successful" fast or else you miss the boat and it's too late for you. And this pressured and stress filled mentality towards time, essentially created to keep the fiat economy running, dehumanizes us. We choose work over family. We choose convenience over health. We choose making "money" over achieving dreams and aspirations. We choose repetitive, robotic work over creativity. And the list goes on.

Get your time back, buy bitcoin.

You never sell for fiat.

It’s that simple.
