If you invested in the S&P 500 a year ago, your purchasing power has increased by 17%.

If you invested in Bitcoin a year ago, your purchasing power has decreased.

My first Bitcoin transaction to a Square merchant for this beautiful Henri Matisse Lithograph of the 1000 Arabian nights.

I found it at a tiny vintage store owned by a Gen-Z named Lilly in Greenwich, CT. I noticed she had Square running on an iPad and when I inquired about the print she said I’ll give you 10% off if you pay cash. I replied how about 20% and I’ll pay you in Bitcoin. She looked at me incredulous and asked how? I pointed at her Square iPad. She said really?!! That’s so sick! I showed her how to turn on Bitcoin payments on the spot. 30 seconds later she had her Bitcoin wallet setup.

I paid with Zeus connected to my Node at home. The transaction was more than $600 so we split it in 2. Worked flawlessly, routed through nostr:npub1hxfkcs9gvtm49702rmwn2aeuvhkd2w6f0svm4sl84g8glhzx5u9srk5p6t node ⚡️

She had no idea about the price of a coin but was just so happy to receive her first sats. She told me she was going to hold onto them forever.

Now, for the pain points. She had her Square POS app running in retail mode and Bitcoin didn’t show up on her checkout screen as an option even after she had turned it on. We had to switch her app to standard POS, which she was more happy to do but that was far from ideal since it required so much handholding on my part. I definitely wouldn’t have been able to do that at a busy coffee shop for example. Is there any reason why Bitcoin is only available in standard POS mode? nostr:npub1ds3hmzemzgp9rsuvyvxqdk0y3uxnq9m903dktjxrvyfwk9w99t4sc2hzcn you guys should definitely look into a fix.

Other than that 10/10 experience 🤝

Bitcoin for art. Bullish.

I know BJ means blowjob but don't know what BJJ means.

Which of these wine boxes feels more high end?

What is nostr?

I’m interested in Gold, don’t chuck me out of the Bitcoin club please 😂

Gold is measured in troy ounces,

Troy ounce: 31.1035 g

Avoirdupois ounce (modern ounces): 28.3495 g

They standardised weights at the French market town of Troyes, which was a major European trading hub in the 12th–13th century. The “ounce of Troyes” stuck for gold and silver, long after everything else moved on.

Avoirdupois comes from Old French: “aveir de peis” → literally “goods of weight.”

The biggest impacts on dreaming is the sedatives like marijuana and alcohol but I've cut those out for quite some time now. So next on the habit chopping is caffeine and nicotine. I'm trying to develop superpowers! 🦸

But we will never stop this war with petitions and crybabies to politicians.

We could just stop using their fiat money, stop feeding the beast, stop voting, ignore them, make them irrelevant and obsolete.

REBUT THEIR AUTHORITY!

(they have none in fact)

If I encounter a business that uses Square I’d like to ask them if they accept Bitcoin. If they say no, I’d like to be able to say something along the lines of “Well you should because _______”. What’s a good few sentences to make them begin considering accepting bitcoin? #asknostr

if you want to pay taxes, that is YOUR decision not mine.

if you think there is equivalence between the coercive and deceptive program to make you believe you are indebted to them rather than the other way around, that's not my problem.

just don't tell me that the government is the final arbiter on how and who i give charity to, ok? because i spend most of my waking hours working towards making nostr available and effective for helping people organise their exit from the impending global communism of pod cities and government creches raising babies.

AS QUEEN OF THE WORLD, I WILL TAKE THE REINS AND LEAD US FORWARD

Which mint? LNbits?

What’s stopping people from uploading a bitcoin QR anywhere? Surely it can’t be easier to sign up for the “buy me a coffee” button and embed that in some site than it is to add a QR.

Who thinks my grandma dog will use these pet stairs we just got her to get up and off the couch?

Or will she continue to use me as her personal elevator?? #asknostr 🐕🐾

I'm almost a hundred kilos, does this count as fat or obese?

We got 100k a while ago... So the push ups stopped. Are we all getting fat yet?
