I feel like HODL culture was a necessary first step to understanding bitcoin. HODL in fiat volatility, then as you spend enough time learning bitcoin you realize bitcoin is just a better money. So you use it how you would… pay for things you want and need, and save in it as opposed to saving in dollars.

But i agree. I like this sentiment. just fucking load up on sats and give it away. Spread it out!!!

I want to get NON KYC SATS. That is my goal for 2026

HODL culture trained our brains to fear spending.

Layer on a lifetime of ad based conditioning and a hardwired need for reciprocity, and you get this weird outcome.

People will tip a barista $5 cuck bucks without thinking, but hesitate to zap more than 2–3 sats on Nostr.

The fix is behavioral. Set a weekly zap allowance, measured in fiat, $20. Spend it freely. Don’t track reciprocity. Believe that karma will work things out.

V4V only works when we stop keeping score.

Gooood morning, Nostr 🌞

A fun New Year’s resolution to try: use chopsticks for most (or all) of your meals.

It slows you down, helps you savor your food, and builds a little extra dexterity in your hands.

I’ve been using the same pair I picked up on my second trip to Japan for three years now 🤞🏼

if you’re having trouble with the meaning of life - get to work creating something - there it is

Shop doesn’t accept Bitcoin though. So there’s that

I'm in Edinburgh (UK) and my local sells a cup of coffee for £4.5, which is just over $6 USD. It's hard to believe, but it's real. I earn well enough but have more or less given up daily steaks and take out coffee. Ground beef and made-at-home coffee now. It's f*****g offensive and infuriating, the government and the GBP is garbage

i was raised by history channel ww2 propaganda

they don’t make it like that anymore

And by the ground you mean in US gas tanks. I agree.

Today Venezuela. Tomorrow Greenland. Monday morning, Canada.

Yeah proud to have served, The policies that led to what happened after I got out, I disagree with. I don't see what's so hard to understand about this.

your homosexual community.. keep them safe from what. they are laughing at you stupid. dude stfu you are not even in charge of your own nostr feed 😂

Not soldier, Devil-dog. Get it right. Now go upstairs to the kitchen. Your mommy says your tendies are ready.

I joined right out of high school and I'm in my 40s now. I didn't know as much about the world when I was a teenager as I do now. I learned, I woke up.

Even back then, I wasn't in a war zone and didn't necessarily agree with all the things the military did. How do you feel about being judged by what you did or thought 20-30 years ago?

No one sensible thinks Trump is America First at this point lol or for a long time.

However those two statements aren't incompatible in theory. But that is probably not what is happening.

"America First"

also

"We're going to run Venezuela"

Of course they are adding Venezuela to usa lands. Wonder why they attack iran also. Nothing to see here.

The more I see that front page the more ironic it gets.

Eat out for £5 . I defy anybody to try do that now. I single cup of coffee costs more.

January 3, 2009 The Bitcoin genesis block was mined.

It included the message: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”

This block marked the launch of Bitcoin and set the tone for a system built outside bailouts, central control, and monetary debasement.

Every Bitcoin transaction traces back to this moment.

Genesis Block Day.

Far more important a truth than I ever realised growing up

You know what would be crazy? Just deciding to skip punctuation.

Cormac McCarthy, the bestselling and Pulitzer-winning author of books like No Country For Old Men, The Road, and Blood Meridian, famously didn't like quotation marks, felt they cluttered the page, and so he didn't use them.

When dialogue happens in his novels, there are no quotes around it, and you as the reader just have to figure out when a line is narration or dialogue. He also didn't use semicolons or exclamation points or certain other forms of punctuation. While he didn't exclude commas entirely, he did minimize them, and instead used extra "ands" in place of where many other authors would use commas. He used periods normally.

His prose isn't my cup of tea, but there's no denying his success, and it goes to show that you can kind of just do things.

It looks like Spotify has it if that's an option.

I think about this quote often with algorithms and incentives and AI bots keeping people stuck in a system manifesting itself with their attention and fear.

NBA people: when was the last time the Bulls were good?

Why? #sexism

It's generally safer to assume what we say and do has a larger affect on people than we realize, as opposed to believe what our actions have no impact.

Often we don't realize how much we Influence others for good or for bad, living in the mindset that we are changing the world by our actions, allows us to be more conscious about them thus often making better ones.

A ton, netflix, hotstar, prime, none works unless you connected to home country
