he in a pool? 😂
I love spending Bitcoin but have always been a spend and replace guy so it costs 1-2% depending on where you buy Bitcoin. More recently I found nostr:npub18tcc00lqpysdsurg567dllzg7jeyr5wcyk2v6w23rx3s3ygyze2qv32nxx and have realized I can earn Sats back on money I am already going to spend by just buying gift cards and then buying the stuff I need with them.
Last year I started buying dips and then buying gift cards with LN withdrawals from nostr:npub1xkere5pd94672h8w8r77uf4ustcazhfujkqgqzcykrdzakm4zl4qeud0en as needed. The cost to acquire sats there is 1.2% so if you earn more in rewards than that then you’re coming out ahead. I basically turned River into a spend only checking account with LN capabilities. I have been consistently buying gift cards to places like Cabella’s, REI, Visa and hotels.com and earned a nice chunk of Sats back (140k so far at a 6% Sat back ratio).
Buying the dips has me way up on purchasing power now too. It’s sort of trading but whatever it worked in my favor this time. And if I would’ve lost purchasing power so be it. I know it could’ve gone the other way.
nice
is it just me or is there nothing related to mothers day happening on here?

Aside from showing people the utility of and usefulness of Bitcoin ("Utility > Education" - nostr:npub1ey6qdmvzcgcsr883m9nspzz0mm037l26xtardzcskfsvc6gc7jssm9szvp Sheinfeld): https://medium.com/breez-technology/orange-pilling-has-stopped-working-4a407252c7a3
I reckon the next best tool for orange pilling is pointing out the stupidity and nonsensicality of the fiat world (i.e. blackpilling). Biden's economic advisor Jared Bernstein is a great candidate for it:

BUT I think Yuval Harari is even better because what he is saying is not only nonsense, but also so blatantly far from the truth that unless you are a part of the cantillionaire class, I don't see how you could even remotely agree with anything he is saying.

on the way to see mom with the fam 🤙
#mothersday
you are an exception then, good for you 🤙
i like podverse over fountain for listening to podcasts cuz i never had to make an account to start using, boosting and zapping 🤙
my wife simply wants to be where her friends are and the people she follows are. None of those people are on nostr, and she doesnt give a fk about any of the freedom tech stuff. youll only have a chance of considering nostr if you meet one of those.
try and think of why you first signed up for twitter, fb, etc. if you are me, you joined cuz you thought you were missing out on something. Nostr as it exists does not offer enough to generate that feeling that people are missing out on anything.
with that said im here til the bitter fking end or voctory 🤙
ya id love that 🙂
plans for it to work with core lightning nodes? or is that up to blockstream to make that work?
🤙
eurovision, never heard of it looks like american idol basically?
ya, me too otherwise its very harmful to take your shot and have it be so weak
ya i agree with your criticism. cant fault people for wanting to do something though 😮💨
Pro tips for if you're going to call for a #strike.
1. Don't set the date for tomorrow
2. Get press articles about the upcoming strike
3. Get people taking about how they're preparing (moving meetings, making sure their co-workers and clients/customer are aware of the strike)
4. Have leverage. The strike should most impact the people who have the ability to meet the demands.
Failing to do these things will cause your actions to backfire.
The public will think not many people care about the issue, regardless of how just the cause may be. The people you're intending to influence will get the message that there will not be consequences for their actions (or inaction).
I hope the author of the following post has learned these lessons.

"Thousands of people" posting online that they're participating for a global, general strike is not impressive. We need millions.
I hope people who deeply care about #Gaza, #ClimateChange, #inflation, or any other big social issues are preparing for a general strike, and not just a single day either.
That may mean planting victory #gardens, stocking up on rice and beans, coordinating with your local communities to build #solidarity #networks, or other efforts.
It's likely going to take months of a general strike before we see real change.
looks like that page is down now 🤔
surprised phones can pick it up at all, very cool 🤙
