If you’re smart, you don’t need leverage.

If you’re not smart you shouldn’t use it.

Just DCA and hodl #Bitcoin

Number go up 🧡

Me? I'm living in Antarctica, the weather is nice here. Got a secret base somewhere in Madagascar aswell, for work related stuff. What about you?

The way things are shaping up, I think the story arc for this next cycle or two will be:

-A lot of altcoin VC money flows back into the Bitcoin ecosystem, builds a bunch of bubbles in startups based on too-early tech and broad speculation, and gets washed out when that tech takes longer than expected to mature. Additionally, a lot of the capital will get pulled toward speculation/trading of tokens on top of Bitcoin and blow up from that direction as well.

-Then after it washes out, there will indeed be some good mature utility-focused tech that emerges out of it that makes Bitcoin's layered stack better and more user-friendly. Bitcoin, both as sound money and to some extent as an immutable truth layer, emerges stronger.

Owning property isn’t practical if you value privacy and freedom. When you own land, the government knows where you live. And the location will eventually be leaked by someone, a company, or a doxxer.

Knowing the location of your home may seem like a small detail to some, but it can make all the difference when it comes to keeping you and your loved ones safe from harm. A man's home is his castle, but if your enemy knows where you live, it may become your prison.

One of the solutions is a mobile home, such as a houseboat or motorhome/camper, or even a converted stealth van. You can always move to a different place when shit hits the fan. No one has a fixed location to find you. You bring your home and all your belongings with you, at all times. You can refill your water tanks almost anywhere, generate your own electricity, and for internet access you can always use public Wi-Fi, eSIM data plans, or even Starlink (but that can have risks aswell).

#privacy #sovereign #freedom

living life without having to use any technology seems to be a new privilege.

it used to be a sign of wealth to have access to all the technologies, now wealth to me, is not being dependent on technology at all. freedom from forced screens.

it’s purity

I want to make a small grouping of channels, say 3 to 5 small balance channels that is sufficient for sending and receiving zaps directly to the node. The experiment might be interesting for those wanting a node that is ok to be exposed publically but is minimal risk due to small balance of bitcoin, eliminates custodial or LSP mobile node usage, and still gives you the user experiemce of custodial / LSP mobile node . This will also be particularly interesting to start9 users in my opinion because start9 is unique in that you can run LND and CLN concurrently. So, you could have a larger more private lightning node running on CLN, complimented by an LND node that is more public, works great for zapping and eliminates using custodians or LSP mobile nodes.

I'm going to start an experiment with my start9 today to make a fully sovereign zapper node with some small non-routing channels now that start9 OS has nostr wallet connect as a service. Gonna experiment to see what small package of channels will work for sending and receiving zaps to the node. I'll write something up in detail if there is any interest 😃

Not gonna lie, walking through this city in the Covid lockdowns was glorious, no cars, no tourists, no souls in sight, just peace and beauty.

Wish I knew how to make and deploy viruses 🤔.

Welcome!

So I have finally joined #Nostr today.

Can anyone explain to me what the deal is with all the ostriches please?

I wish I knew about Bitcoin before, I barley even understood the significance of it before coming to nostr, I know what it was, just not that it was important.

As part of my #Nostraversary celebration I really wanted to throw a good old fashioned #zaparty ! ⚡🔫

I shall throw it all day long!

So hit me with a message, whatever you feel

like, about me, about you, about llamas, about whatever really. 😁

Just a little heart in it. I just want you share with you guys. 🫂🤙
