Couldn't agree more. The future is going to be incredible.

It's natural to assume conspiracy, perhaps Bitcoin started out with some ties to the US government but it matters not because of what it is and has become. Bitcoin frees us from ourselves, and propels us to an abundant future. It enables true energy abundance globally, and it protects the value created by anyone globally.
The ONLY things that truly matters with Bitcoin, made possible by it's security and decentralization, IMO are 3 things:
1: Debasement-proof total supply (The number of units is ultimately meaningless, what matters is the cap on that number will never grow through any other mechanism besides division, but ultimately will be regularly further subdivided beyond the Satoshi).
2: Rock solid personal security for permissionless self custody anywhere on earth.
3: The exchange of otherwise unused energy for units of Bitcoin, at ever decreasing rates thanks to both the difficulty adjustment and the halving.
These 3 things alone make Bitcoin world shattering beyond what most can imagine. Even if governments aquire most of the supply, they have to spend it to use it which distributes it to the people over time. It also, very significantly, immediately stops their inflation tax on the entire planet.
Bitcoin changes the world whether governments adopt it or not. Bitcoin is freedom, truth, and honesty in finance. Bitcoin's decentralized and secure absolute scarcity is the single most important thing humanity has discovered for human flourishment in all of history.

Have you read "The Sovereign Individual"? Nation states are dying. Bitcoin is the expected natural evolution of money and states will be forced to adopt it whether they like it or not.
Just in time for my auto bill payments pulling from Strike on March 1st. 💀
As social engineering advances, the only way you'll be able to protect yourself is by physically securing your assets yourself.
Even the best custodians can be socially engineered into believing you're withdrawing your funds and you won't know until it's too late.
Self custody, Bitcoin only, don't trust or give access to your core devices to anyone. If you must do an "interview" have a separate device that you don't use for anything else.
You either learn to take steps to protect yourself before things like this occur, or you'll learn the hard way.

Every profile now has a tab where you can see all past conversations you’ve had with that person. 
Awesome! Love to see how Nostr continues to improve!
I'm using amethyst more with the "Currently popular on Nostr DVM" feed. Also, I think the GM wave might be dying down since there's a bunch of bots that respond to posts now to harvest zaps from the OPs.
I used to believe UBI was what we needed for the world to transition, to a world where nobody needs to work because automation has taken all jobs, but it's just a FIAT solution to FIAT caused problems. Ultimately it's unnecessary because Bitcoin itself actually IS a fair UBI system in a way. Work hard enough and save long enough in self custody, and your Bitcoin's growth in spending power will quickly outpace your spending to the point that you functionally have a UBI that you're in control of and give to yourself on your own terms. Only instead of bureaucrats deciding who gets what, personal effort does. It's much more wholesome, global, fair and motivating to all.
Having a low time preference means not beating yourself up over things you need to do but haven't yet done.
I haven't needed to work a traditional job in nearly a year, but I would still feel stressed and self judgemental that I was not doing enough each day even though I was doing stuff such as writing/research/editing or housework or meal prep or working out all the time and so on. My girlfriend said I need my boss (myself) to loosen their leash and allow me to slow down and relax. I was still living in high time preference mode, and I wanted to shift to low time preference.
Recently I've put that a lot more into practice, I don't wear a watch anymore and I don't worry about getting everything done quickly. Things will still get done, but when I get around to them now. Instead of feeling stressed, I feel much more relaxed. It's incredibly freeing to not know what time it is while you're doing things, it really takes the pressure off.
This is what living with low time preference really means, instead of living in the future or the past I live in the present, the eternal now. I worry a lot less about things outside of my control, and focus on the people and world around me and how I can help in more meaningful ways. I let my Bitcoin holdings handle global issues, because all the global issues I used to worry about are caused by FIAT and the simple act of holding Bitcoin shifts the world in the direction that ultimately fixes them. 🌎♥️

I've heard somewhere on here that for most people good opsec online is impossible. By hiding your identity online you're only hiding yourself from the people who would want to help you. How true is that?
I haven't posted any personally identifying info, at worst pictures of pets or my general location on earth, but I feel like anyone who really wants to find anyone on here will not have a hard time doing so whether we post pictures of ourselves or not. Which makes me feel like just being open is better, but then again there are crazies who aren't very tech savvy either and I'd rather not make things easy for them. 🤔
Which model is that? I had the Model One for a decade without any major issue, albeit the cable connection was sometimes iffy and it is true that it's very cheap plastic feeling so I'm thinking you got that one.
I upgraded to the latest model the Safe 3 when it launched, it feels much sturdier with what seems like a metal back and it uses USB C now so the connector is much better.
People shit on Trezor a lot, but they're the OG hardware wallet company. Made in Europe, and they even created the BIP 39 word list standard everyone uses today.
I do wish they wouldn't support shitcoins, and I see posts of people having lost coins with the built in swap services like changelly so use those at your own risk, but if you go for the Bitcoin only model and avoid the swap services then they're perfectly fine IMO.
Trezor is open source, secure, very low cost, and extremely easy to use so it's great for newbies and veterans alike. People act like Trezor is shit and other wallets are God-Tier, but nobody is perfect and every wallet has it's pros and cons.
What the literal fuck just happened? ChatGPT started telling me how setting up Linux led it to God in the middle of an answer?
