rather have this volatility than sideways for months. this is better and more fun.
A maxi understands that all other cryptos and fiat are shitcoins and lives close to a bitcoin standard, that includes using bitcoin for payments not just hodl.
eth/btc beautifu.
didn't know that
Those 90pcent of our brain that we dont use is there to be used by integrated AI.
im in favour or bigger blocks if they become full and fees get very expensive. if too high fees become standard a lot of people will be left out and makes sense to increase the block. idgf about miners and their profits.
To earn sats you need to have a miner with enough hashrate. A bitcoin node checks that txs sent to you are valid and also enforces the network rules for everyone.
I just want to point out something that should be obvious to everyone here. Most people outside our bubble don’t know how to use ”magic internet money,” and the only way to change that is to patiently show them, usually in person.
Last night at nostr:npub1key55ax33gkl50uqemvl4khrtqrhzm7wzpc7fhseutt5ddkcwcrqgxlt3h , I was helping people make donations to nostr:npub17xvf49kht23cddxgw92rvfktkd3vqvjgkgsdexh9847wl0927tqsrhc9as for a signed copy of a book by Evan Mawarire, who himself is still early in his bitcoin journey.
Here are some of the problems I observed:
One person tried to pay a Lightning address with Muun wallet, asking me why the QR code wouldn’t scan. Muun still does not support LNURLp after all this time. I suggested checking out the new Misty Breez wallet, but he didn’t have TestFlight installed, so I invited him to come back next week during our Lightning meetup to learn more, and showed him how to get an invoice from HRF’s BTCPay Server.
Another one only had BlueWallet with on-chain funds, and had never used Lightning before. I asked him why and he said it was because it didn’t work in BlueWallet. This is a fair point, because BlueWallet has never adopted NWC, and using LNDHub is a clunky and frustrating process. It’s almost as if the developers of earlier-generation wallets have just given up on advancing the tech and UX.
A third person tried to scan the QR code for the Lightning address, and it only opened up her email app. I asked if she had a Lightning wallet, and she said she didn’t use bitcoin at all, so I sent her to the page to make a donation by debit card.
So that’s kind of the state of things, at least from my perspective. I see these sorts of things every day. Whether it’s people trying to pay a Lightning invoice with an on-chain wallet, or even from an exchange, or trying to onboard to a custodial service in New York, where companies like Cash App and Strike can’t provide some or all services, because we’re thrown into the same bucket as Iran and North Korea.
In all this, #Nostr is a tiny island. It’s very sunny and warm here, but most of the world doesn’t know we exist, or how to find us. ☀️🏝️

the fact that many wallets dont do business in US/NY shows a bit how LN is hard for many, Strike, WoS, Phoenix make this easy but they dont operate there. what about Zeus?
hard to say, depends on many things, but i would say no, i would keep the btc, because i wouldn't be able to buy back 1 btc, so i would keep paying the mortage bc over time it would be less and less btc so you would still keep most of it. while they keep pricing in fiat we have advantage.
tried but apk didnt work without google services, also, all those liquid wallets very dependent on boltz api.
custodia/non-custodial is too simplistic for all the scenarios, call things as they are, in this case a mutisig custody or simply a federation.
1 has a solution, paid relays. i dont see bots anyway. influencers dont come because 1) they dont need, they dont have much to gain, mostly bc there is no Algo that they can leverage and use in their favor.
i went with one of these recently: https://jsonresume.org/
Importing my own nostr keys into nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv gives me an Error after Input my nsec! What did I do wrong?
in what screen/option is that?
no more buys to short squeeze and pump the stock, only sells.
