yes a horrible situation to be in, I feel for them
Argentina Bans Payment Apps From Offering Bitcoin to Customers
With inflation at 104% Argentinians need to exit their financial system more than most and bitcoin offers a lifeline but Argentina’s central bank is trying to block that exit.
It doesn’t matter what country you are from inflation like this is going to happen to you, it’s just a matter of time. All central banks have been doing the same thing, printing more and more currency.
Understanding bitcoin privacy and acquiring no-kyc sats is essential to surviving crackdowns like this.
As #[0] quite rightly reminds us regularly, you need to educate yourself on privacy tools before you need them so do it now. If you wait until you actually need them it will be too late.

A parallel, circular economy with bitcoin will be the only way to opt out of this future hell!
Nostr Web Client Primal Adds Search Functionality
Nice work #[0] & @primal. Implementing Nostr search with content spread accross multiple relays must be a real challenge. How does it work? what are the limitations?

Pixel Fold. What are we saying folks?
Would love to test Calyx/Graphene on a device like this, but there's no way I'm stumping up $1800 for the privilege!

Interesting but not convinced, trying to be more minimalist with tech
‘Other crap’ should stay as a description, I like it
Bitcoin’s difficulty level finally dropped on today, after increasing five times since the February 24 increase of 9.95%. Actually it’s been on a fairly steep upward trend since July 2021
Thank you Will, keep up the great work
Wow Jack, $10m to OpenSats to fund bitcoin and nostr development. That is amazing!
Bloomberg got that bit wrong. The suit, which was filed in federal court in San Francisco, claims that Coinbase harvests facial data from IDs and selfies that customers upload
Coinbase Sued For Illegal Harvesting Of Biometric Data
Another example of how KYC does more harm than good. Protect your data and privacy by using no-KYC services like Robosats and Hodlhodl

As part of Voltage.cloud Nostr services, they are enabling users to create their own NIP05 identifier at their vlt.ge domain and receive Zaps to a non custodial lightning wallet
Once you’ve created your NIP05 domain on Voltage, you can connect your node to your Identifier to start receiving Zaps to your own node! This can be a node inside of Voltage or outside of Voltage.
I’ve tried this with my Voltage node, it works perfectly and it’s free.

Agreed. Bitcoin mining produces 0 emissions, just like electric cars, TVs and any other computer. We should not be even entertaining the framing that energy usage is bad, it’s not. Humans thrive when there is abundant and cheap energy.
Biden Administration Proposes 30% Tax On Crypto Mining To Counter Environmental Impact
The framing is all wrong. What envoirnmental impact? ASICs suck in cool air and blow out warm air. There aren’t any emissions, just like any other computer or microwave or electric car or Christmas lights!
In a corrupt system, leaders who achieve political power are selected for their unique combination of fervor and ignorance. They genuinely believe that they know better, and they absolutely are that dumb.
