Bitcoiner and finance/tech junkie

I spent the week in El Salvador! (mostly San Salvador and a few days in El Zonte)

I paid for everything in El Zonte using bitcoin from my own lightning node with 0 failed payments. I went places randomly in San Salvador, but everywhere I asked did not accept bitcoin.

I walked around a fairly large area, and most places felt safe with only a couple sketchier alleyways. Took a surf lesson in Zonte. I hiked to the top of Santa Ana Volcano and visited Coatepeque lake and attended the Plan B conference.

Had the opportunity to fly in the 787 Polaris seats for a 14 hour flight. I fly a lot for work, but that was an incredible experience.

Lol people are mad at nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a for calling Rolexes shitcoins on twitter.

As a Rolex enjoyer I have to say, they are absolutely shitcoins.

I have a buddy that bought two trying to impress clients. I just think they look so plain 🤷 I like skeleton watches.

I've grown accustomed to it. I've been a heavy soda drinker for years, partially because I like the carbonation. So carbonated water > soda was better for me. Water is just too plain for me.

it would be neat to see articles on Nostr that were partially hidden, similar to X, and you could "unlock" It by clicking the zap icon. maybe it could be made to unlock after a threshold (100 sats) or with any amount zapped, just requiring a zap to occur.

I took the SIM card out of my phone and got a separate hotspot to turn on for times I need WiFi on the go. Days don't feel much different being disconnected when travelling from point A to B.

Do you think Metaplanet is actually going to buy bitcoin or it's another Nilam $NILA fake announcement? 😂 #asknostr

Maybe it's because I don't underpower or use SDs prone to fail, but my Pi4 has been running since like 2020. Took it down for some time when I was having issues with software, but been back up for a while now.
