Yegor, did you ever use Google and Android apps previously? I'm also curious about the graphene experience but concerned I might miss out on some of what have become (at least to me) essential apps.
Interested to hear thoughts in this direction, too.
Isn't there a legal principle that financial privacy (or any privacy) is an inviolable human right, exceptions only when there's probable cause articulated in a warrant or involvement of a third-party with access to the "private" knowledge?
Neither a big risk nor courageous on their part, just by the numbers and the structure. The real front-page news will be when a financial advisor of similar stature takes self-custody of bitcoin and makes their announcement.
What with Primal? Did all their relays die or something?
Awful
Just awful
Worse that it took fully 6 seconds for me to get there
Wondering whether this will be discussed in the board rooms of financial institutions still struggling to home-brew their own stablecoin. 🤔
Hey @hodlbod
Listened to your interview on Bitcoin And... yesterday. Great stuff sir and gave me loads of homework to do.
Questions: Is there utility in approaching nostr as a potential for "closed" communities? I recall you mentioning a scenario where you and a friend might share the same set of notes... but could that be scaled to maybe 50 friend and family identies with access, 500 tuition-paid students, or 5,000 employees, etc.?
Excellent episode on Revault and Linera from @stephanlivera
This may be an example of circular reporting but definitely wanted to share as it's in my wheelhouse:
TD Bank Releases Commercial Explaining The Bitcoin Halving And Promotes ETFs

I note with interest that Bitcoin magazine does not include any sort of sharing button for nostr like they do for X, LinkedIn, etc. Why is that, I wonder.
nostr:npub1g0587hzzckcncxfm78n0996qe2s58nspy29wf02tqcj5sdzcpj4q6j40hv any thoughts on this?
Ah... got it.
I'm fortunate to have a local butcher (with abatois) who sells a half or quarter beef for <$4/pound. I'm quite happy to have that opportunity but would prefer an even more direct stomach-to-cow relationship.
I like your retail solution though. Cutting your own probably brings you "closer" to your food, for sure.
yes. ordered yesterday and looking forward to receipt Friday.
I just published a new book, this one is specifically on Lightning network. From basic use-cases to explanation of how it works, and a few things that I see coming in the future (or hope for).
The Orange Flash of Freedom: Understanding and using the Bitcoin Lightning network
Bitcoin has created digital gold - empowering many people to freely transact using a non-inflationary, non-manipulable hard form of money. The Lightning network builds upon this innovation, offering a fast, scalable payment network, that can be used to instantly send and receive money over the internet. It is a basic protocol of the internet, similar to e-mail for communication, or web for accessing information or apps. Lightning network can be as complex as you need it to be. Installing and using a current generation bitcoin wallet that supports lightning can be learned in under three minutes. This book gives you an overview of various wallets, the inner working of lightning, bitcoin fees, and proposals to make Lightning scale and be an interoperable payment protocol, even beyond Bitcoin blockchain.
Whether you are a beginner or an advanced user, you'll discover that installing and using a modern Bitcoin wallet with Lightning support can be mastered in just a few minutes.

Amazon:

(Amazon is better for paperbacks outside of EU, possibly even within EU. But you can pay with Lightning on my web)
When available on Audible, too? I like to do both paper and audio... but audible is my prey over Kindle.
Just added this episode to my fountain queue.
Interesting.
Are you cutting your own because you're also harvesting your own?
