Strike is also my favorite way to buy bitcoin. I use the send "cash" feature. I send "cash" directly from my bank account into my Lightning wallet by sending to my Lightning address. It makes stacking sats incredibly easy. You can also setup DCA purchases if that's more your thing too.

I've been using Strike for years and highly recommend this app. Why? The UI is slick and simple. Plus, nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcvd6gmf is an incredible human that also goes into the trenches and does tech support, directly helping his users. Most Bitcoin exchange founders aren't going to do that. I love the work ethic.

Enough shilling 🥹 I am just happy to see the UK finally get access to Strike.

Nicely Said, it is my favourite way to Dca, every day!! Here here!!

I have a request for any Macro-Heads out there.

I've been thinking about the Irish real estate market and wanted to get your opinions. It seems to me that investing in real estate in Ireland over the past 17 years might not have been as profitable as it seems. When adjusting for inflation, house prices have experienced a real terms deflation of about 28.33%. In other words, the value of homes has decreased by nearly 28.33% in real terms from 2007 to 2024, despite a cumulative inflation rate of 27.91%.

Given this perspective, do you think investing in Irish real estate during this period was a poor financial decision? Or are there factors I'm missing that would paint a different picture? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any insights you might have on this topic. Maybe there's more to this story that I haven't considered.

I have read the price of tomorrow by nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe twice!! and absolutely love it. Inflation is 100% happening in Ireland but I am wondering if residential property is an exception to inflation?

To be clear prior to 2000, a home bought for 80k in 1980 was sold for 800k in 1998, so the same house had inflated by 10x. But this trend does not seem to continue over the last 17 years?

In this example I am picking a house price at the peak of the property boom in 2007 and tracking that price to today. So it is possible I am not measuring like for like?

Thanks in advance for sharing your opinions!

There is no second best.

A deep dive into why there is #Bitcoin  and then there is everything else.

My keynote from nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r

This keynote was inspired by many but I want to give a special shoutout to nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc , Jason Lowery, Andrew Poelstra, and Greg Maxwell. Their writings and work was particularly influential.

I’d also like to shoutout the nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r team. This was one of the best #Bitcoin  conferences I’ve ever been to. Thanks so much for having me!
