You can use bitcoin script to make a wallet that locks coins with a primary spending key and a recovery key that only becomes active if the primary key isn't used for a year.

👀 Bhutan has sold 4,000 Bitcoin since Oct 2024 (from a peak of 13k to 9k). It is unclear why at this time, but I would guess it will fund the development of the Gelephu Mindfulness City.

In 2023, Bhutan sold US$100million worth of BTC to fund a 50% pay rise for civil servants.

Are there still places with vibes anymore? Or did the internet kind of kill it?

I feel like digital spaces have vibes. Nostr has a vibe for sure, but everywhere I go (in America at least) feels flat, steril and homogenous now.

People like to pretend otherwise, romanticizing local charm and it’s fun to do so, but in reality there is no meaningful difference between New York, LA, Chicago, Austin, Miami etc…

The differences feel increasingly superficial. Miami with its neon pink and bad Latin art. New York with its identical minimalist cafes selling identical oat lattes. These aren’t cities anymore, they’re brands. “Keep Austin Weird” feels less like the rallying cry of a bohemian collective and more like a safe corporate brand slogan.

It wasn’t always like this. Cities used to incubate true subcultures that couldn’t thrive anywhere else. Seattle once had grunge music emerging organically from local clubs, distinct in sound and attitude. Detroit was a birthplace for techno and industrial grit that couldn’t have been manufactured. New Orleans had jazz clubs and vibrant local traditions that permeated every street corner authentically. Before the internet collapsed distances, you could sense deep authenticity upon arriving somewhere new. The vibe wasn’t something designed by marketing departments; it was organically woven into the streets, the people, the music, and local myths.

Now, vibes feel engineered and commoditized, reduced to Instagrammable moments and easily replicable aesthetics. I once watched from the balcony of my hotel in Nashville as 200 women waited in line to take the same stupid picture with the same stupid set of angel wings.

Digital spaces, ironically, have become refuges of uniqueness, fostering communities unburdened by geographical homogenization. Platforms like nostr host unique niche communities, from hyper-specific gaming bitcoin cultural milieu to obscure philosophical discussions, that retain genuinely distinctive vibes.

Perhaps we’re now entering a strange inversion, where real-world spaces chase digital popularity, adopting blandness to maximize broad appeal.

In this inversion, digital worlds might become the primary spaces where unique vibes survive, thrive, and multiply—leaving our physical world as little more than a flattened reflection of what used to be.

Nostr is where the vibes are at.

the ipad pro has replaced my laptop. trick: don’t use the apps. web only.

It’s ridiculous to post such things, but I’ll be surprised if #bitcoin does not reach a new all-time high in US dollar terms by the end of May, 2025.

And the people who print the money dont hold store value in the money.

Very nice user experience and way cheaper than a 2of3 Segwit!

For 1in1out tx, the the 2of3 Taproot keypath spend is only 99vB (59% cheaper than 2of3 Segwit) and the scriptpath spend is 124.25 (34% cheaper than 2of3 segwit)

Amazingly the 2of3 taproot keypath spend is even cheaper than singlesig Segwit spend (10% lower)
