Mark Jeftovic at bombthrower.com was the first person I ever heard posit that ethereum would become the defacto CBDC either directly or with a new government token riding on that chain.

So, this sounds about right.

I wonder whether there are opportunities there... I mean, a door-closes, window-ope s kind of thing.

checked into getalby today to get my own readable lighting address but saw they're invite-only now.

any recommendations out there for another service or method?

Is Tuur hara on nostr?

They beclown themselves...

Begging for no one at all to take them seriously they legislate against gravity and rotation of the earth.

I used to walk them through downloading the Strike app. Now I just share my Swan Force link.

The grift will continue until there's nothing left but ashes (same for Cardano and Ethereum, too).

Hey nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev I very much appreciated you recent Poop in the Park cast. (...and everything else you're doing, too.)

I'm not sure I understood why you said one can't "spend" the ordinal utxo. Were you saying that once created (with excess data in signature) and written to the chain that it can't be spent again? (So won't ever be repeated on the chain because subsequent "trading" of BIP-20 NFT won't ever be a thing?) TYIA.

Question for you #[0]

Do you know whether anyone's looked into possibility of modifying an HNT miner, which uses LoWaRan radio transmission to pass data packets, as a back-up or redundant btc node replication network? I think the hardware is Raspberry pi and definitely takes a micro SD card.

Since the HNT (shitcoin) price tanked there are tens of thousands of these things no longer making money that could be put to better use... and data packet transmission on that radio net is already demonstrated.

What do you think?

That's kinda bullshit on the part of NC. So was there a change to the money transmitter laws in NC that is affecting all MSB?

Any reactions from MoneyGram or Western Union?

Sweet.

Enjoy.

We're opting for the traditional Mt. Rushmore & Yellowstone this year.

Will be seeking (and documenting) opportunities to engage in the #bitcoin economy the whole time, too.

I forsee laws requiring human participation in certain economic activity even if it's the less efficient method. Kind of like the rules prohibiting anyone except a union employee from changing a burnt-out bulb in an office building in Manhattan. This will be done to counter the effect of AI on the job market... and perpetuate the system,
