Not a Polar Bear, who went from Electronics -> Software -> Databases -> Monetary Systems.

Why do people insist #bitcoin  is not crypto when it certainly IS a crypto currency?

Is the analogous statement “Humans are not animals”?

Can’t we find a better way of differentiating between #BTC  and altcoins?

I am proposing to teach #Bitcoin ideas at a *very* basic level and working on a simplified explanation of the Byzantine generals problem.

a) five generals need a majority decision to attack/retreat.

b) to convey a vote they must create a gold engraved wonderful thing to indicate their decision. It would take ages to create this wonderful thing.

c) if a general sees 3 wonderful things that agree on attack/retreat they can be sure that is the consensus because of the time required to craft those answers.

Is that valid / good enough?

I use my battery pack to provide an air gap.

a) charge battery

b) use battery to charge phone

Simple.

Last week, I saw a film about [un]sustainable fashion. A quick Google showed yearly production of CO2 for...

- fashion 1.2 billion tonnes

- #Bitcoin  22 million tonnes

It seems that lazy Greenpeace has just picked the easy target, jumping on the anti-Bitcoin bandwagon.

Here's a little something: go to polarbitcoin.net/falls-from-aths, click on the graph showing #Bitcoin  falls and you get a zoom into the falls from 2017 onwards. Nice!

Good News: I can post using Damus connected to Nostr on my Umbrel.

Bad News: I can’t post using Snort on Chrome connected to my Nostr.

When I loaded Snort I was expecting to have to enter my private key somewhere but never had the opportunity. What an I missing?

Get Wallet Of Satosh if you’re happy with a custodial wallet but preferably get Muun.

The dollar is declining fast. Here’s a useful page to keep track: https://polarbitcoin.net/one-dollar

There's a chart demonstrating the obvious decline of the dollar at polarbitcoin.net/one-dollar.

Check out the chart at https://polarbitcoin.net and understand that nobody who bought #Bitcoin and held for four or more years lost money.

This is not exactly what you’re talking about. My Mini is smoothly silent but plays a harmonious noise below 20mph or thereabouts; it’s a pedestrian warning thing. Useful and totally acceptable.

There are 10 types of people in the world; those that understand computers, money and #Bitcoin and those that don't.
