Happy birthday, Ian!

Normies buying US debt

Great question! This used to be the biggest thing holding me back as my property manager charged outrageous fees for me to pay using cc.

Strikes new bill pay gives you a regular routing and account number to use. So you plug it in just like you would your fiat account and Strike will auto sell the BTC necessary to cover the bill

Living on a #bitcoin standard is now significantly easier using nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9's new bill pay function!

If you haven’t checked them out- you need to. Easily my go to bitcoin exchange!

Only one family member got bitcoin for Christmas.

Hope he doesn’t fumble his bag.

I watched it twice!

Trending to zero ≠ 0.

The post doesn’t mean that nothing other than Bitcoin is valuable. It means that whatever real estate, stock, or commodity you’re buying is getting its ass kicked by Bitcoin.

Everything in the world is trending to zero against #bitcoin.

Act accordingly.

If you go all in on #bitcoin with conviction- it rewards you with a vertical line given enough time.

Nostr is decentralized internet.

It does more than just allow you to say what you want- it allows you to participate on the internet without asking permission.

It’s still early.

Wow, it’s been a while. What’s new on Nostr?

What client is everyone using?

I’m having a hard time connecting my Jade to Blockstream Green Mobile. It’ll connect but I keep getting a login error.

Does anyone know a fix? Any other mobile apps I can use to view my balance?

He’s LARPing

If the government didn’t have access to the money printer- they’d be too busy trying to solve real problems as opposed to trying to indoctrinate your kids.

Well that’s what I’m trying to see 😂

I have a small stack I want to CoinJoin, is it better to do it in smaller ones or a large one considering postmix mixes take forever?

Since it only mixes as others come in, are more people mixing micro amounts (100k sats) or mixing in larger batches (.5btc)?

Does a bigger mix affect privacy at all? I don’t think I’ll be spending that amount in a single transaction. So wouldn’t smaller UTXOs be preferred in the future as I go to spend?

Just trying to see what the best practices are. I’ve been learning about CoinJoin for weeks now and have finally pulled the trigger on doing some of my stack.

Do you CoinJoin one large or multiple small amounts? #Bitcoin  #pleb

Here’s why CoinJoin is beneficial:

1. Preserving Bitcoin’s Monetary Properties: Bitcoin’s value proposition lies in its decentralized, censorship-resistant, and sound monetary properties. CoinJoin helps preserve these properties by improving privacy and fungibility. With enhanced privacy, Bitcoin can maintain its status as a truly peer-to-peer digital currency, ensuring transactions are not easily traced or censored.

2. Safeguarding Economic Freedom: CoinJoin empowers individuals to exercise control over their financial transactions by protecting their privacy. This aligns with the ethos of Bitcoin, which aims to enable individuals to transact freely and without unnecessary scrutiny.

3. Enhancing Fungibility: Fungibility is crucial for a currency to function effectively. CoinJoin promotes fungibility by mixing individual coins with others, making it difficult to differentiate and trace specific units. This helps eliminate the possibility of certain coins being blacklisted or deemed less valuable due to their transaction history. Fungibility strengthens Bitcoin’s ability to act as a medium of exchange without discrimination.

4. Mitigating Surveillance Risks: In a world where surveillance and data collection are prevalent, CoinJoin acts as a tool to protect individual privacy. By obscuring transaction trails, CoinJoin makes it more challenging for external entities to monitor and analyze individuals’ financial activities. This privacy enhancement contributes to maintaining personal autonomy and reducing the risks associated with surveillance capitalism.

5. Strengthening Bitcoin’s Network Effects: Bitcoin’s success relies on network effects and widespread adoption. By utilizing CoinJoin, Bitcoin users collectively enhance the privacy and fungibility features of the network. This encourages more individuals to use Bitcoin, as they can enjoy greater financial privacy and security. Increased adoption strengthens the overall network, making it more robust and resilient.

I didn’t realize how long coinjoin would take. 😅

Glad I started off with a small stack otherwise I’d be freaking out.

Best resources on coin joining? #bitcoin #plebchain

Imagine you’re in a desert, and water is very scarce. It’s a precious resource that everyone needs to survive. Since there’s not much water available, it becomes incredibly valuable, and people may be willing to trade a lot for just a small amount. The scarcity of water in that particular environment makes it extremely valuable due to its importance and limited availability.

The same is be true for #bitcoin - except you can’t escape the ever inflating fiat world without it.
