Good evening,
I had not been on Nostr for a while. If you still follow me on this keypair, please unfollow me and find @@npub1mx3jntatkf363tepdquwk30p7pxvxqq8q3ryj37yhyr7r0h4srts5xhs3q instead. I will use this keypair to read and the other one to give updates on my shenanigans... and boy do I have a lot to talk about.
Very well. I had gone ahead and made a pilot I'll post soon, so I'll see what I can do there.
I was actually thinking of doing a podcast where I answer people's questions on alternative tech, music and gaming, and I might potentially consider using Ardour (my DAW) to do just that.
I had already gotten that dealt with. I appreciate the thought, though.
Do you all realize, that it's the nostr:npub19hg5pj5qmd3teumh6ld7drfz49d65sw3n3d5jud8sgz27avkq5dqm7yv9p that is a gamechanger? 🌻
Your Go wallet with NWC is a good combination, in my opinion, and will allow self-custody as far as I'm aware (which I'm all about self-custody nowadays).
Leadership has to do with inspiring people to do what you do based upon kindness and compassion. Do you need to be blunt with certain things? Absolutely you do, but say it in a way where it doesn't destroy. That's how I look at it (which I'm working on).

This new paper is a true declaration of war: the ECB claims that early #bitcoin adopters steal economic value from latecomers. I strongly believe authorities will use this luddite argument to enact harsh taxes or bans. Check 🧵 for why:
Rather than praising bitcoin as a tech paradigm shift à la petroleum and the internet, the authors introduce the blatantly luddite argument that "early adopters" ... "increase their real wealth and consumption" ... "at the expense of [latecomers]".
Then they go on to brazenly advocate for legislation ... "to prevent bitcoin prices from rising or to see bitcoin disappear altogether" in order to prevent "the division of society".
The authors also model some projections, to illustrate the paltry amount of BTC that will remain available for latecomers. (Woe is me! Conspicuously left out is the reason that has driven 15 years of bitcoin adoption & development: it's simply better tech.)
In all the years I've been monitoring the bitcoin space, this is by far the most aggressive paper to come from authorities. The gloves are off. It's clear that these central bank economists now see bitcoin as an existential threat, to be attacked with any means possible.
Many of us have warned that this was coming: bitcoin as a major political fault line both in national and international elections. Well here it is. It means that us HODLers must take action to insure that governments respect our basic right to hold property.
And no, this won't be a war between haves and have-nots. Rather this will be a historic clash between those who stand for the natural rights of the individual, and those who clutch at the failed ideologies of collectivism and central planning.
Here's the download link to the paper: "The distributional consequences of Bitcoin". (We need detailed rebuttals. Who's writing one?)
113. This is deception at its high levels.
Is that fried cheese curds? If they were goay milk, I'd certainly try them.

That doesn't seem to work for me, unless some DNS thing is weird.
Wait until you find FOSS alternatives to proprietary software. Then you'll be liberating yourself more by voting with your software choices.
Applied knowledge, absolutely. Gotta make sure we apply it.
Twitter, but without a centralized server, run on multiple servers, uses BTC for supporting creators you like, but it's blockchain-based, meaning once you post something, it's there permanently.
Never getting an account on X unless if it's for business purposes (even though Nostr or a good Mastadon instance could for sure suffice).
Qtile on Xorg, and yet I'm still on i3, loving it even now. I guess Wayland was the issue the entire time from the looks of it?
I'm always learning, sometimes teaching, and never an expert on anything. It's that simple if you think about it, to even begin with. Not many people realize the mistake they're making if they decide to become rigid and not start searching for what the need to know in order to counteract the norm, which is not decency anymore.
