#bitcoin and stuff

I also have no regerts, except regarding a typo here and there

nostr is just reaching the threshold of being usable, much improved in the couple of weeks I've been here. Desktop clients > mobile clients (android), at least in my experience.

I still find twitter to be better for discovery, being exposed to new topics and ideas. Nostr as a whole is still far too niche, but the trend is positive.

And zips >> likes, though likes still have a place.

I hate the garbage that is now forever part of the blockchain data -- but that's my judgement of the data, bitcoin doesn't care.

I'm neutral regarding blocks being full and fees being up. As a miner that's nice. As a lightning node operator, it's annoying. It's just the new normal, we've been spoiled by a period of very low fees and empty mempools.

I feel relatively positive about the increased energy that has come in the last few weeks and the potential for a new wave of bitcoiners. Come for monkey jpegs, stay for the revolution.

"This existence of a record that everyone can agree on, and that can’t be altered or cheated is very useful to humans. Humans disagree about many things, and many try to cheat others. But I cannot tell a lie or have a different record for different people. Imagine everyone completely agreeing on something. I am that. And that’s apparently very useful to many people."

I have a dream that someday I'll be able to finish drywall without having to get everything covered in dust from so much sanding.

Starting a 100 day challenge today - 100 pushups, 100 squats, 10k steps. Not because those amounts are particularly challenging, but because I need the consistency.
