#nostr is the galaxy brain π€―
5 years ago I set out to learn to code. For me this journey has been incredibly difficult. I've had so many up and downs, quit and restarted numerous times, had countless setbacks. Never having had any formal college education, I wanted to teach myself something, something hard. I wanted to learn and I wanted to build. More than anything, I wanted to find a way to contribute to Bitcoin. I've finally built something that I am proud of and am happy to share it in the hopes that it can help others.
It's nothing groundbreaking or complicated.. it's a website, a website built from the ground up and focused on self-custodying your Bitcoin. It may not be much but it's a huge achievement for me and proof that if your consistent and put in the proof of work, that over time you can achieve what was once a distant dream. It's the start a new journey as well, one where I feel empowered to do more. LFG.
Please share it with whomever you think might find it useful: https://www.wehodlbtc.com/

Before believing it you'll need to explain what a spiritual battle even is? Is it one of those things where people are dogmatically herded into inhuman behavior?
Is "their" freedom of speech worth being defended?

Why do mushrooms and cheese go so extremely well together?

The great thing about ecash is that the mint doesn't know who owns what. How I understand it, the entire concept of minorities or majority cannot exist for a mint. Only tokens exist
My homebrew Black IPA begs to differ but wishes you a GM anyway!
How the f did he pay for a Swiss beer with his American sats? AND HE DIDN'T EVEN ASK FOR PERMISSION!! What is this stuff, some kind of magic internet money? π€
Funny how #nostr feels like social media in the early days
Nice reminder of what is possible when irrelevant differences between people aren't artificially enlarged to rage farm with the only goal of getting people to click stupid ads
Don't trust, verify...
Musk spouts too much bs in his own financial interest these days
Surveillance is one of few topics that anti-authoritarians from the right and the left still seem to be able to agree on
Left fights corporate surveillance
Right fights state surveillance
Everybody wins? π€
Fwiw, their GitHub repos haven't been updated in years
Bitcoin is dead anyway, don't worry about it

My 120 TH ASIC is mining around 400 sats per hour currently. A mobile phone would mine 0 sats per hour and probably even 0 per week, while being constantly overheated, throttled and totally unusable for anything else I'm afraid π«€
Great Britain is a giant cluster fuck since Brexit and there's not a single country in the EU standing in line to leave after having witnessed that. Everything that was promised for Brexit has not come true and they are now significantly poorer, have a dysfunctional NHS and much more refugees (the three key topics for Brexit). Reality is, Brexit was always about deregulating large corporates, and that's exactly what we've seen so far
Here in NL our own "Nexit" party won exactly 0 (zero) seats in the last EP elections...
