See a lot of crying like "omg bitcoin is co-opted, omg the ETFs, US want to hold bitcoin, omg the conference has politicians, omg everyone just wants NGU, bitcoin is against the banks and against the govs, this is not cypherpunk, omg bitcoin is dead." Just shut up.
In a few years looking back today will be one of those key moments in the history of bitcoin along with many other moments. This is still bitcoin politicians v1.0 they are all noobs, younger future politicians will catch on. Like another npub said, props to El Salvador for taking the first step, another historical moment that many dismissed at the time for being a small country.
"US will hodl every btc as a strategic reserve, we will be a Bitcoin powerhouse.." 3 claps.. "I will fire Gary gensler" standing ovation 😂
Everyone is like Trump speach was meh..if 4/6 years ago someone told that a major US presidential candidate was going to a conference talk about making Bitcoin friendly regulation and holding all the btc held by the gov everyone would find it hard to believe. We've come a long way.
They can comply all they want, i won't. Do you think people now in Portugal comply with taxes? Is anyone going to jail? That is an US thing not in Portugal.
I don't care about bitcoin taxes. I don't pay them. That's it.
Use bitcoin, educate others, support bitcoin businesses, build a bitcoin circular economy.
We just dropped a new self-custodial Bitcoin wallet. Early access details here: https://proton.me/blog/proton-wallet-launch
LFG Proton!
True, that all of those add friction like I said, but all of them are compatible through LN, the layer swap is onchain to LN and there are many compatible tools for it, many LN wallets support onchain and LN, so you only need one wallet. With monero in theory, you would save in BTC, have some monero stack to spend or move to btc to save, and to spend, if people don't accept monero, you have to still swap for btc before spending.
Some nostr apps already force you to add a password along with your nsec, that way if you leak your nsec or the client get compromised your data is still encrypted.
I was thinking if it would be possible something like deposit btc in a musig 2/2 similar to this, all txs in the service being custodial ecash with any denomination, and every 24h or so onchain settlement with a batch tx. Keep in mind that my knowledge about bitcoin technical is very limited so sorry if this sounds retarded.
My latest invention is StatechainJS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24pNIs6M7qo
Basically it's like ecash but if the operator goes down you can recover your sats. Being like ecash means transfers are fast & free, but the operator can rob you, so be careful! Try it here: https://github.com/supertestnet/statechainjs
Can only transfer full utxo right?
I still don't fully understand this, I would like to see a POC in the wild, i think new ideas like this are cool but this seems a bit complex, i was expecting something simpler for the cashu mints use case tbh.

Awesome tune.
Don't know if this is the case but i see this taxes worries come mostly from Americans, I find it very strange. Also there are some comments of people who got stuck with the idea of bitcoin pre lightning. Great video Joe.
Testing Nutsack. Looks cool, having an unified balance attached to my npub is nice, cashu wallets should implement login with npub, its strange to me to have my minibits wallet with balance at minibts and another wallet also with balance in minibits and being different wallets.
Hope you know you are all criminals here.
