Buying more Bitcoin while it’s still legal.

Vinyl records will never die. The experience alone is worth the effort of having to play them.

POS for Ethereum was largely decided in the original white paper… https://ethereum.org/en/whitepaper/

While Bitcoin POW is more pure, the bootstrapping period ensures ETH is *quite* decentralized and I’m certain it will remain that way. Even the ofac sanction MEV is not stopping sanctioned transactions from entering chain. I use both bitcoins and eth but for very different purposes.

Ethereum just announced a date for Capella hard fork on their goerli testnet on 3/14.

In other news, I’m pretty sure nobody on Nostr cares about Ethereum? Anyone building an ethereum L2 NIP payment solution? I would love it.

Just shared a post about Nostr and Damus with my work community on web3. Wonder if anyone will ask me for my npub…

For 50rmb you can hire an electric car to race you to your gate in Guangzhou Airport. Even when you arrive at boarding time. Ask me how I know… can’t I believe I made it on this flight. Huge 谢谢🙏 to the driver.

Heading to Guangzhou tomorrow. It’s been over a year since I’ve been back… what a crazy year.

Happy I finally have my lnbits working with a lnurl to receive payments to my own lightning node. I still can’t get my lnaddress to work for me@benchodroff.com. Not sure why it fails.

Sadly, you can't. Adopting another reserve currency with better ideals is the only way. The US dollar still represents the most widely adopted fiat currency in the world, but the printing press has clearly run away. Bitcoin represents a better alternative. Lightning has potential...
