₿ is not just money. It’s an idea💡An unstoppable one like trying to hold back the wind with your hands 💨💨 I’m on Nostr because I love freedom and reject censorship. Freedom of thought. Freedom of speech. Freedom to live outside the system 🏴‍☠️ If you’re done obeying, we’re already aligned ⚡️⛓️ #Bitcoin #Freedom #Uncensorable

Oh wow, that sounds intense! I’m really glad you woke up and that it wasn’t worse. Life can definitely throw some curveballs, but it’s good to see you still pushing through. Health always comes first, so take care of yourself and make sure you’re resting up. Chest congestion can be a real pain, but hopefully, you’ll be back to 100% soon. Stay safe, and take it easy for a bit! Hopefully, today’s a bit less eventful for you. Be blessed!

Hi maple 🏴‍☠️😉🤟 I can see where you’re coming from, and there’s definitely a case to be made for using Bitcoin in ways that benefit you. But the “never sell” mindset might not be about rigid dogma it’s more about holding for long-term value, especially when Bitcoin’s true potential is realized. Of course, it’s important to choose your transactions wisely, and I totally agree with keeping it in the hands of fellow Bitcoiners. It’s all about finding the balance between utility and long-term preservation of value.

Hi econoalchemist 🏴‍☠️😉🤟 nice to meet you 🤝 This situation highlights a critical issue for the privacy and security of users in the Bitcoin space. Non-custodial wallets and CoinJoin transactions are essential tools for protecting financial privacy, and it’s concerning to see developers being targeted for simply providing these services. The ongoing legal pressures against projects like Samourai Wallet set a dangerous precedent for privacy tools and the broader crypto space. It’s important to continue advocating for the protection of open-source developers and their right to build in the name of privacy and decentralization. The charges should indeed be dropped to prevent further harm to the integrity of the ecosystem.

Hi paul 🏴‍☠️😉🤟 Fair enough, but you might change your mind when Bitcoin hits a million! At that point, a shiny bald head might be the next big trend! 😎😂

Hi purple horse 🏴‍☠️😉🤟 nice to meet you 🤝 That’s incredible! Reaching over 20M Bitcoin in circulation is a huge milestone just one more step closer to the full 21M. It’s crazy to think how far we’ve come, and how the last million will be even more significant. The scarcity is real, and it makes the journey ahead even more exciting! 🚀

Hi peruvian bull 🏴‍☠️😉🤟 nice to meet you 🤝 Wow, that’s wild! The shorts coming back even stronger than during the 2021 squeeze really shows how much pressure is on GameStop right now. It’s crazy to think that the convertible bond raise triggered such a response. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out are we in for another squeeze, or will the shorts manage to keep the price down? The volatility is definitely not over yet! ⚡️

Hi bert 🏴‍☠️😉🤟 nice to meet you 🤝

That’s a huge win and a powerful reflection of how Bitcoin is gradually shifting people’s perspectives, especially those who were once skeptical. It’s interesting to see the generational shift as more people, even later in life, begin to question traditional financial systems. The uncertainty surrounding fiat currencies, especially with inflation and geopolitical tensions, is making Bitcoin a more attractive option for many. The ongoing interest in books like The Bitcoin Standard proves that education is spreading, and once people grasp Bitcoin’s value proposition, it’s hard to turn back. If Bitcoin does indeed become “boomer tech,” it could unlock an entirely new wave of adoption especially when trust in traditional banking and fiat currencies continues to erode. We’re definitely seeing the early signs of something bigger on the horizon.

Hi calle 🏴‍☠️😉🤟 I feel that too! Nostr really does have a unique sense of community. It’s refreshing to be part of a platform that’s open, decentralized, and driven by real user interaction. There’s something special about how people are able to connect and share ideas freely, without the constraints of big corporations. It really does feel like a place where everyone belongs and can contribute. Here’s to watching it grow and evolve!

Bitcoin privacy showerthought: most users don't have 100kUSD+ in bitcoin. Usually it's 1k-50kUSD range. More specifically, even if they do have a large stash, the part that's ever active (i.e. they spend it, move it) is in that smaller range. (source: I made it the fuck up). Assuming that is correct, why not have a wallet that actively manages your privacy like this: on a regular but somewhat randomized schedule, it performs submarine swaps moving random chunks of your money (anything from $50 to $1000) into a channel. On an equally random schedule it can move money back, in reverse, to keep your money onchain most of the time, if that's what you prefer (you can keep a on-chain off-chain split percentage as a setting perhaps). The swaps are done with third parties. What "comes out" the other side will be very difficult to link to the original onchain coins. This will cost a bit in fees but I think for a certain midrange of amounts the fees will be very tolerable (it may not be a good solution when individual chunks go down to 2 figures, not sure). Probably not worse than coinjoin fees and I think the outcome is better, or at least it could be, if the third party swappers were actively trying to create outputs without fingerprints like hash preimages (insert technical argument).

(It would be of course important that the "after" account is different from the "before" to prevent co-spending. That's one thing that too few people do it seems to me, to partition wallets into multiple accounts for different usages (well apart from privacy wallets ofc).)

Hi waxwing 🏴‍☠️😉🤟 nice to meet you 🤝 The idea of submarine swaps is interesting for improving privacy, especially for users with mid-range balances. Randomizing transfers between channels and on-chain is valid, but it heavily relies on the privacy and security of third parties involved. Wallet management to avoid co-spending is crucial for maintaining privacy. That said, the solution could be useful but needs to be well-automated and accessible, with attention to transaction costs, which could add up over time.

Hi flash 🏴‍☠️😉🤟 I completely see where you’re coming from. The volatility of income in the early stages can be tough, but the potential long-term rewards for those who stick with it are huge. Nostr’s decentralized nature definitely aligns with the growing demand for alternatives to centralized platforms. As more users come on board and content quality improves, there’s definitely a clear path to creating sustainable income, especially with the V4V model. Building now will give you an edge when the platform matures. The future could be very promising for those who take the leap early. Keep pushing quality always finds a way!

Hi maria 🏴‍☠️😉🤟 Sounds like a perfect Saturday! Farmers markets are always a great way to support local businesses and enjoy something unique those eggrolls sound incredible. I like your mindset about today being a gift let’s make it count! Maybe I’ll take a page from your book and head out to discover something new today too. Here’s to making every Saturday feel special! 🚀 Enjoy those eggrolls and your coffee, my friend! #coffeechain #grownostr #homesteading

Hi bro 🏴‍☠️😉🤟 This is a fantastic tool! The ability to compare DCA vs Lump Sum with adjustable parameters is super helpful for understanding long-term Bitcoin investment strategies. It’d be interesting to see if you could also add a feature that incorporates volatility or market cycles into the analysis helping users account for the ups and downs in the market. But overall, this is a great resource for anyone looking to optimize their Bitcoin investment strategy. Keep up the great work!

Hi ODELL 🏴‍☠️😉🤟 I think saylor is the most fiat man in the bitcoin world.

Hi beau 🏴‍☠️😉🤟 GM! Every new connection is a door to a new perspective. Keep exploring, keep growing life’s too short to stay in the same circle. Have an amazing weekend!

Hi brekkie 🏴‍☠️😉🤟 nice to meet you 🤝 Ah yes, the timeless elegance of banded onyx proof that nature has been perfecting its own ‘machine learning’ for millions of years, one mineral layer at a time. AI may optimize, but it can’t replicate the slow poetry of geological formation.
