I like learning from people that are smarter than me

Since it doesn't look like you got an answer: UTXO size is what's important. The smaller the UTXO the easier it can get dusted in a high fee environment.

Probably 1 million sats or so minimum.

Ah there is an Eminem song about this. Anyone? Am I old yet?

I’m making a push to get on Nostr more, rather than X / Twitter. Thanks nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgqgzx3h , nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcp2amhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0dec82c33wv6hjufkwaskgamj0pjx2drvdpn8xdfkvahrvdrgwaa826rwvesnvu3ed44rgdekwg6hxdrgdd6ku7n80fchyuekwymh5qpqs5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqjx5gu2 nostr:nprofile1qy0hwumn8ghj7cnfw33k76twd4shs6tdv9kxjum5wvhx7mnvd9hx2qg4waehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvsqzq3e0gs8jnmued6f2rp4c6vs07xqvs4vs8zpwt82smcdch4txjvq76kl2yj nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skuep0qy0hwumn8ghj7cnfw33k76twd4shs6tdv9kxjum5wvhx7mnvd9hx2qpqhk0tv47ztd8kekngsuwwycje68umccjzqjr7xgjfqkm8ffcs53dqr23eea nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytndv9kxjm3wdahxcqg5waehxw309ahx7um5wfekzarkvyhxuet5qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncdhu7e3 for continuing to educate people about Nostr.

I was mostly a lurker on Twitter. When I did tweet, it was primarily talking smack to shitcoiners. I’ll try to provide more signal on Nostr.

I'm a bitcoin maxi. My portfolio consists of 1) bitcoin and 2) MSTR. And just enough fiat to pay the bills.

Despite being in bitcoin a while, I haven’t had much luck orange-pilling folks. An approach I’ve taken recently is framing it more as “if you’re not going to buy bitcoin, at least buy some for your kids.” This allows them to see the power of dollar-cost averaging (DCA).

In addition to the bitcoin I purchase for myself, I buy bitcoin monthly for my kids. I’ve done this since they were born. $200 on birthday and Christmas, $50 every month (bumped the $50 to $100 a few months ago). My oldest was born in 2019. As of January 2025 the total USD invested of $7500 has purchased 0.35 BTC. In USD terms it’s worth over $35k! ROI of 377%.

My youngest was born in 2021. The total invested of $5k has purchased 0.13 BTC. It is worth over $13k. An ROI of 165%.

Family and friends find this hard to believe. I suggest they try it for themselves. I think most people can afford to save money on behalf of their children, even if it’s only $20 a month.

The first borns win again! 😄

The longer I've been in the space, the more I've realized that everyone is either a nocoiner or a Bitcoin maxi. Shitcoiners are just Bitcoin maxis that haven't realized it yet, or are lying to scam people.

Hmmm were you one of those kids that was eating tide pods perhaps?

Maybe the government should have warned you not to do that.

I was going to zap you to atone but you don't have an address

People often assume that whoever their god is, that it is standing with them specifically. In the US, they often separate this view along party lines.

Conservatives to some extent imagine Jesus standing with them on the border with a rifle protecting Christendom against anarchy. Even if many of those immigrants are ::checks notes:: also Christians. If a "woke" bishop calls for compassion on immigrants and is not a fan of the twice-divorced President who can't name his favorite bible chapter and forgot to put his hand on the bible when being sworn in, she's somehow the baddie rather than him, even among Christians.

Progressives to some extent imagine Jesus walking around in Gaza or Haiti or Sudan attending to the least advantaged among us. He shuns the empire and tends to them. And yet, while Jesus called for pacifism and was a rhetorical saint among chill speakers, many of them find a way to mentally turn extremists into heroes. Anything the underdog society does against the dominant society is justified. Even if it's violent toward civilians. In our media rebels are cool, but in reality they often like to kill the gays or the civilians, so it gets awkward pretty fast rather than being like the cool Star Wars rebels vs the Empire.

I find myself in a weird camp that almost nobody is onboard with.

I'm like, "Yes, we actually need to secure our borders. We need to be more scrutinizing for our society's sake. We need slower, higher-end immigration. And we actually need to enforce the rule of law for theft on the streets."

But also,

"No, I don't think Jesus of Nazareth as depicted in text would be onboard with this border view. He'd view us like Rome. Let's not re-imagine him as onboard with this. We're rooting for ourselves; he'd root for the underdogs."

I'm too woke for the conservatives and too based for the progressives.

The US was involved with multiple coups in Latin America. We ran the reserve currency and tried to bend them to our will with their dollar-denominated debt 40 years ago by spiking the value of that debt. Some of them went into retarded socialism and rekt themselves throughout that time period too; it's not all our fault. But it's some of our fault.

And then we militarily entered the Middle East. We made deals with them, funded them against the Soviets, and then turned against them. We've invaded them at like a 100:1 ratio vs them invading us with one major incidence (9/11). And as much as I am a fan of Jews as a people (as someone who grew up in Northeastern USA where Jews are relatively dense, I'd happily have them settle all around here), Israel is a state is colonial; our western powers displaced Gazans to make it and have been fighting that reality ever since.

We're Rome. And like Rome, we think we are justified. And along those lines, we're probably partially right, and probably partially wrong.

When you take a view, imagine every possible view opposing it.

And as the US dominates as neo-Rome, I think we will realize how distant we are from Jesus the hippie.

I hope you can keep using your platform to also bridge the based-woke gap you allude to

I really appreciate what you do Matthew, but I do have to say I think you went extremely easy on Trump here compared to how hard you have called out these scams in the past. I would call it more than "unfortunate".

Thank you for your content.

If anyone still believes this, I have a token $BRIDGE to sell you. Great opportunity.

Is he free yet? I'm sorry but it's not happening

Are we doing self reflection now? Or are we saying shitcoins=good? Can someone tell me my opinion please?

Soo is everyone just pretending a POTUS rug pull is a good thing now? Wtf?
