Yes to all, but what comes to mind today when I read this is something I recently heard someone say, something along the lines of "beware the government that no longer needs your tax money" 😨
Happy Sunday, Nostr friends!

We lost a huge oak tree this year - probably at least 100 years old 😢.
It's a red oak, so not great for some things (roof shingles, for instance) but could be perfect for other projects. I'm wondering if we could make some beautiful cutting boards.
My impression is that even if it worked it would effectively be a hard fork, and the existing nodes would refuse to recognize transactions as long as they have the existing software.
But I could very well be wrong, because I'm still pretty fuzzy on how all of this works, but it has stuck with me that nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyvhwumn8ghj7um9dejxjapwdehhxenvv9ex2tnrdaksqgqyey2a4mlw8qchlfe5g39vacus4qnflevppv3yre0xm56rm7lveyr9lldz recommends not upgrading nodes with new software immediately.

Not crazy about her generally, but credit where credit is due: it's surprisingly difficult to see these things except through a partisan lens.

She said it like it was a well-known saying but I've never heard it before.
I needed to hear this! I discover so many things that I think will help people but spend a lot of time biting my tongue because I don't want to be pushy
great 🤩
one of my goals for this winter is making enough biochar for the whole upcoming season - the goat shed, the duck house, our plantings...
I listened to it yesterday while doing some homestead chores.
gratitude is the queen of emotions
requires humility, begets love 💜
I wonder this often (and every time I hear someone saying it as if it's a done deal).
I hope so.
thanks for posting. It's almost funny
"...the focus has increasingly shifted to Bitcoin as an investment asset promising high capital gains. Promoters of this investment vision put little effort relating Bitcoin to an economic function which would justify its valuation."
first, the concept of capital gains is so fiat
but mostly, these people are so removed from basic free-market understanding that they think someone needs to "justify" the valuation of an asset
Dear Nostr, I need help getting my head around pricing in sats vs denominating in sats 😵💫 If in fact is not even the same thing?
I have a seasonal product that I make once per year (yes it's marmalade!), the cost for making it will not change until next year as I bought all the ingredients and materials already. If I wanted to 'price in sats' does this mean not changing the sat price regardless of any value increases/decreases over the coming year? Say bitcoin doubles, my customers would effectively be paying twice as much if I do not track the fiat price, when they should be experiencing a discount instead.
So far I believe I have been pricing in fiat and denominating in sats, therefore anyone paying with bitcoin gets their goods cheaper over time.
What is this idea for pricing in sats, perhaps I just don't understand the terminology?

You've gotten so many good practical answers, and I just wanted to mention something that came to mind as I was reading your post. I think that it can be useful for us (bitcoiners) to start to think in terms of sats rather than fiat - even if you adjust your sat prices based on the fiat exchange.
Basically try to denominate your decisions in sats as much as possible, living your own life on a bitcoin standard, and then adjust prices as needed when you interface with the fiat world.

she couldn't get rental insurance, and it seems to be her friends and family who are asking for donations.
I recently asked for donations for a friend who lost her home in Hurricane Helene. It has meant so much to her that people who don't even know her have been kind enough to help.
