Even then we have loans available to us now. I see almost zero reason all disposable income couldn’t go into bitcoin.

I don't see much point keeping 6+ months worth of emergency fund expenses in a bank account when any decent exchange allows you to convert BTC to fiat and get it to a bank account in a day or less.

I need your help.

The #Bitcoin Café’s getting a signature drink… but I don’t want to name it myself.

Drop your best name ideas in the comments — coffee puns, Bitcoin memes, whatever you’ve got.

In a couple of episodes, I’ll pick my top favorites, throw them in a hat, and pick a winner.

If your name gets chosen, it’s going on the menu forever… and I’ll send you some sats as a thank-you.

So make it good!

Their wallet has been one of the most reliable in my experience, but yes you can use any NWC for sending zaps instead of the Primal wallet.

Pay attention to what people do, not what they say.

haptics can help with that, it's just sad that every app trying to be a remote (which all kinda suck) has to be an ad serving service too in order to be successful

id vibe code something instead, but i fixed my remote already 😅

MANY PEOPLE NEED MORE PATIENCE

I 100% disagree with nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyehwumn8ghj7mnhvvh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7ctewe4xcetfd3khsvrpdsmk5vnsw96rydr3v4jrz73hvyu8xqpqsg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q8dzj6n on this.

99% of people don't understand their money is broken (and predatory), so pitching "a better money to exchange things" is futile and imho, currently, a waste of time.

The clearest use case for Bitcoin is being a superior savings tool FIRST, as the loss of purchasing power is (slowly) becoming clear to more people. That is a way better and practical "pitch" for people to adopt Bitcoin.

Just being a superior Store of Value (SoV) than gold will put us at an exchange rate of $1M per Bitcoin. But becoming bigger than gold TAKES TIME (Boomers dying and Millennials inheriting).

If I don't want to save, store my value, in this better money, why would I want it as a reward in a value exchange?

Let alone value things in Bitcoin?

The sequence is:

Store of Value > Medium of Exchange > Unit of Account.

Yes, Bitcoin IS already superior -ideal- money, but most people do not understand that, yet.

That takes time, and education, and not the discouragement of talking about how Bitcoin will fail.

That will definitely put off people to learn about it.

Just because you get it, does not mean the rest of the world SHOULD.

Don't stop talking about Bitcoin and start educating others on MONEY.

tv remote was having some issues so i decided to use my phone as a stop gap for a few hours(most android/google TVs have a remote service)

every app on the playstore that uses this service is filled with ads. like, press a few buttons and an ad pops up (navigate too often? have an ad!) 😅 i run pihole/unbound so the ads never load, but makes me wonder how on earth does anyone tolerate apps like that

I’m living a nice and wholesome life

I wake up every morning without setting any alarm and do what I love all day long

But I’m still pissed off that I joined a revolution that never happened

Everything we used to say that would happen with Bitcoin went down the drain

Now it’s a stonk, just an instrument to speculate on in hopes of making more US dollars

It didn’t progress towards becoming a currency that competes with the dollar

It didn’t progress technically to encourage freedom fighters around the world to use it

Outside of making more dollars, there’s nothing that it does that other networks do better

It doesn’t have a killer use case anymore

The user experience sucks compared to fintech

All we have is hope that the ship will eventually turn around

But even the OGs who joined for ideological reasons seem to be selling

So who remains to defend the principles of the early days?

Who will still want to end the Fed when the Fed is making you more US dollars?

I don’t even see my friends around anymore, they either turned into insufferable suits or else they left the space

It’s depressing, really. This is not what many of us signed up for and I feel deceived

I spent nearly a decade promoting Bitcoin as freedom tech, but now the FBI is allegedly happier when their targets use bitcoin instead of cash (as suggested by Peter Thiel)

I feel sorry for some of the people I onboarded, who used custodial Lightning wallets that probably rugged them

I sometimes feel like a fraud who pushed false advertisement

But ultimately, I wish more bitcoiners demanded a change. Anything that lets developers build cool stuff and new use cases.

CTV, CAT, BIP300, I don’t even care at this point. Just push the boundaries, make Bitcoin technologically exciting again.

The bankers might fuck us, the old cypherpunks might sell out, but at least give the rest of us some cool toys to play with.

But no, “there’s no consensus”

Fuxking bullshit

GM! Did you pay the invoice? Someone did.

if you have to get the fuck out of dodge 🔥… do you have a grab n' go bitcoin kit?

below is my basic bitcoin backup bag 🧶

We don't call it 'inflation' in the modern collectivist United Kingdom.

We call it a "Cost of Living Crisis" because most are too thick to know what inflation is.

We're talking about voters here, Keep it simple and euphemistic.

The most diverse thing about nostr is how many different Linux distributions we all run.
