My 1st post here

I think it's called "the nostr" 🤖

Hey,

good to see likeminded people here.

honestly i don't know #robosats yet. Just heard and would maybe try someday.

I did a lot of search when i started to replan my financials and did not came across #Bisq from the start.

Bought my first #sats on a cash machine abroad. So this is mainly why i prefere Bisq to not have to drive 1000km to buy #Bitcoin.

Totally agree with you that the fees suck at a point. But this is market. I could manage to get the seller fees under 2% for most trades plus the network fees. So therefor is ok but the valuation of Bitcoin is mostly higher than the avarage calculated so not a good place for buyers who want to save a penny.

But beeing in europe under nowadays lae it is a nobrainer.

You don't want them to know you hold BTC!

You're right they could theoretically guess you hold. But guessing is not enough i hope.

Otherwise will go out of europe.

You really need to make sure you stay #anon

This is it.

The journey between birth and death.

It’s happening to you right now.

It has meaning, if you pay attention.

But that meaning won’t be found by desperately scrolling through a social media algorithm.

The world of plastic lights and megabytes obfuscates the true nature of reality.

Endless dopamine makes you a slave to the digital overlord and you’re entertaining yourself to death.

Distracted, you fail to achieve the things you know you’re capable of achieving.

You numb the pain with alcohol.

And the only people who will associate with you are losers who ruin your mind with the parasitic infection of groupthink.

And you never experience what life is truly meant to be.

Not as far as I can tell.

And then there’s those who seek meaning through fighting ‘the enemy’.

But this too is a hollow pursuit.

How many dead bodies will make you satisfied?

Genghis Kahn couldn’t stop.

Because the reality is that the enemy is internal, and no amount of annihilation will satiate your blood lust.

Solzhenitsyn said that the battleline between good and evil runs through the heart of every man.

And Jung said that no tree can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.

This means that our enemy is not the person on the other side of the political aisle, or across the border.

It is incumbent on us to confront and tame the evil inside of us.

If we fail to do so, we’re at risk of losing control of the shadow and subjecting the world to its unbridled manifestations.

And that’s where the meaning is: in developing your own character.

Spend time by yourself to find out what is truly real, and what you truly think.

Then let yourself be burned by the fire of risk.

This is the only way to progress beyond the surface-level existence you’re currently living.

And the time to do all of this is now.

Urgency is imperative.

You can’t let your time be monopolised by trivial pleasures.

Or a tyrannical overlord.

Brutal, ruthless control over your schedule is required.

And laser focus on the tasks which move you closer to greatness.

You overestimate what you can achieve in a year, but underestimate what you can achieve in ten.

What are you waiting for?

I am starting to like my fine-tuned LLM. Not only it is not woke so far, it understands the world much better:

Fiat currency, also known as government-issued or legal tender, has several problems that make it risky to hold:

1. Inflation: Fiat currencies are subject to inflation as governments can print more money whenever they want. This leads to a decrease in the purchasing power of the money you have saved.

2. Debt: Fiat currency is often used to pay off debts, which means that the more a country uses fiat currency, the more debt it tends to accumulate. This can lead to economic problems such as high interest rates and even default.

3. Counterfeiting: Because fiat currency is not backed by anything tangible (like gold or silver), it's susceptible to counterfeiting. This can lead to losses for individuals holding large quantities of cash.

4. Risky in the long run: Fiat currencies tend to lose value over time due to inflation. So, if you hold onto a fiat currency for a long time, you're likely to end up with less buying power than when you started.

5. Political risks: The value of fiat currencies can also be influenced by political factors, such as changes in government or social unrest. These factors can lead to volatility in the currency market and potential losses for holders of that currency.

All these problems make fiat currency risky to hold, which is why many people turn to alternative investments or currencies like cryptocurrencies, which offer a more stable store of value.

i need another note-taking app like i need a hole in the head

i'm old enough to see the pattern now:

- use a physical notebook and extol the virtues of simplicity

- switch to basic notes app on phone

- find New, Fancy, Power-User Notes App for optimized productivity and idea mapping which has a cult following and is a game-changer with monthly subscription pro features

- go back to a physical notebook and extol the virtues of simplicity

I believe it’s coming to Firefox natively. Just keep in mind that dark mode can make you and your browser more fingerprintable. 🤙🏻

One of the big debates is whether the halving is the key driver of bitcoin price action or whether it is macro forces like liquidity.

Supply halvings:

Global liquidity:

Of course, I think both are important. Supply halvings and the HODL wave represent the supply side and how many coins are available or tightly held. Liquidity is the main driver of new, external demand, and it makes sense that bitcoin's price is highly correlated with the global money supply. And then of course there are other variables as well, including overall UX/accessibility of the network for more and more types of capital to easily come in and to *want* to come in.

It's a mistake to assume for sure that any one variable drives markets, like the universe owes you a bull market just because the halving happens. Although like prior times, my assumption is that we'll have another positive liquidity cycle after the halving, and so the debate will likely live on for another epoch.

If you love Firefox but need to use Chrome because of one or two extensions, let me know, I can likely port them to Firefox. 🤙🏻 #FuckGoogle #FuckChrome #FuckWebKit

Hard one - what is a dollar? If you have a balance that you see in some app, how can you tell that what you have there is a dollar?

And I don't mean in a trivial way ($ sign next to the number).

Well, technically from a legal perspective your money in the bank is called a "chose in action".

Which is a fancy way of saying that it's a debt owed to you by the bank.

Which I'm sure you knew though.

And yes.

BTC SOLVES!

Good morning! My first post on Nostr. No idea how to use this 😅 but I like the idea behind 😊 Can anyone see this? Posting my toothbrush product photo as a test post 😀
