Dang. My follow list got nuked. I wonder what happened. I think it was because I followed via nostr nests.
I think we need a backup for clients that will automatically merge follow lists when they get wiped.
100%! And in addition to that, it's actual theft.
Imagine saving for your entire life for retirement, and the average year of accumulation is the year 2004, in these 20 years the value of what's left of your savings is cut in half, and that was done knowingly and intentionally by the government who is supposedly by and for you and your fellow countrymen.
It will be worse when I am old and grey, and thank God for Bitcoin nostr:nprofile1qyvhwumn8ghj76r0v3kxymmy9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3xamnwvaz7tm0venxx6rpd9hzuur4vghsqgzyglfgln0psaecrl6hmeah85g2m22qmc50kkmxzk0gl6d775x335urgwsa I do not intend to save in fiat.
Heck yes! We need beef, and local raisers are the backbone of this country's nutrition. Bitcoin+Nostr is freedom tech, and beef is freedom food.
In medieval times, the king was at the front line when they went to war. Only coward kings sent their subjects to fight without them. We need to consider the rulers of this day and age also cowards.
I was just thinking about this. I just reviewed a friend's cigar lounge on FB and Google, and I was thinking how cool it would be to do reviews on Nostr. Business directories and maps with reviews/recommendations would be a great addition to Nostr.
I think that's it. Looking more closely, it appears the woman's forearm descends lower and around the man's, reappearing underneath the hand. That is unless the man has six fingers on his right hand, in which case I know a man who is looking for him.
Will this make a CBDC world safer? And by this I mean getting more people in a system that could more easily become Bitcoin-only after a crackdown, rather than a system that is already Bitcoin-only that fewer people actually use.
Here's an interesting idea: put into the sale contract that the purchase of MicroStrategy will cause a distribution of Bitcoin to it's shareholders, rather than dollars.
That would be an awful rug.

Bitcoin, from a Christian perspective, aligns with the idea that money should serve the purpose of aiding in the love of neighbors. Unlike fiat currencies that are controlled by governments and central banks, Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network that is not subject to manipulation or inflation. This means that the value of Bitcoin is not eroded over time, ensuring that individuals can preserve their wealth and use it to help others in need.
Bitcoin's limited supply of 21 million coins ensures that it is scarce and maintains its value over time, unlike fiat currencies that can be endlessly printed, leading to wealth concentration in the hands of a few. This scarcity feature of Bitcoin makes it a more equitable form of money, as it cannot be manipulated to benefit a select group of individuals or institutions.
Furthermore, Bitcoin's peer-to-peer nature allows for direct transactions between individuals without the need for intermediaries, enabling financial empowerment and inclusion for all. This aligns with the Christian principle of loving thy neighbor, as Bitcoin facilitates the transfer of wealth to those in need without any possibility of interference or censorship.
In contrast, fiat currencies fail to fulfill the definition of true money as they are subject to manipulation, inflation, and centralized control. This goes against the idea of money as a social tool to spread wealth and aid in the love of neighbors. Bitcoin, with its decentralized and transparent nature, better embodies the principles of true money by providing a secure and reliable store of value that can be used to benefit others in a fair and equitable manner.

MSTR will be one of the most powerful and wealthy organizations in all of human history midday through next decade.
There aren't even that many, if you account for lost keys and accidental sending to wrong addresses. That accounts for at least 1M, I'm sure.
Perspective distortion in hand drawn art is difficult for some people, I guess, or did the artist really want to make them that big? 🤣
The sentiment is true, though. The earth is inherited only by the children of those who procreate.
It's worse than custodial Bitcoin, and it is basically exactly how Robinhood "offers" Bitcoin. You "own" it, but the only thing you're allowed to do with it is sell it back. No deal.
PS: are you considering releasing on Nostr via Flare.pub?
I had a really great evening with a friend at his 3 year anniversary opening his classy cigar lounge. As with every evening like these, we got to talk about basically every one of my favorite topics 👍 including bitcoin+nostr!
Religion
Politics
Cigars and pipe
Whiskey and other spirits
Tolkien and Lewis
Business
Cars
Family
What more could a man want in an evening?
Check out how legit this place is! If you're driving through central Missouri, stop by and say James Lewis sent you.
That's the carbs finally leaving your body. It takes a few days. A lot of the weight you lose right off the bat is the extra water your gut needs to process carbs. This is why fiber (what retains the water) is so important in carby diets, but not at all in no-carb diets. You'll also notice needing to use the restroom less frequently. This is just your gut needing lower mass flow for the same nutritional value.
Gives us time to stack
Whatever you present, keep in mind your purpose: to help them understand and form intelligent opinions about Bitcoin.
Before selecting what media will best serve this purpose, consider what difficulties they may have. Most people's objections will fall into one of four categories. From my article:
● Philosophical
Considering what money and currency are, & whether Bitcoin fits that description
● Moral
Considering the morality of holding & using decentralized digital currency
● Technological
Considering the technological advantage of Bitcoin as a currency
● Practical
Considering the practicality of Bitcoin in particular as money
