We find 8,000 nostr users

Pool together some sats

Build our own town

Make our own rules

Live free

What you own, owns you back.

For me, wealth is the peace-of-mind from having the resources to deal with the unexpected.

carry on

when I was a young teen, I shook the hand of a old farmer. I was struck by the man’s powerful dry leathery grip. I recall thinking to myself, this is like squeezing an old weathered brick.

now over the years, like many of you, I’ve endured the deluge of what felt like catastrophic FUD events, many 40+ % drawdowns on #Bitcoins price and several governmental attacks.

as the time has passed, I’ve become a rather calloused HODLer.

#Bitcoin ‘s highs still feel validating, but the unexpected lows have become far less painful & a time to further prove my conviction to my self.

as #Bitcoin finds its strength, I find myself thinking the same thing I was thinking at the lows… “maintain that powerful stony grip & stay focused”

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗙𝗨𝗗 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯!

It’s Friday again, so it’s time for me to respond to some common FUD, and let it die, just like the year 2023.

This week’s FUD:

“𝘽𝙞𝙩𝙘𝙤𝙞𝙣 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙧.”

A lot of people feel intimidated by new technology, and no one alive today has seen a new money arrive on the scene, so understanding #Bitcoin can sometimes seem daunting.

There’s nothing to worry about, though.

Here’s why👇

The notion that Bitcoin is too complex for the average user is a myth perpetuated by a general misunderstanding and fear of the new. Bitcoin is an innovative solution 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘺 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦, and tools for using it are continuously evolving to make it easier to use.

Critics sometimes liken Bitcoin's creation to going through the process of inventing the whole universe, just for the ability to bake an apple pie. While its foundational concepts are intricate, and designed to address deep systemic flaws, 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻’𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱. Once demystified, Bitcoin's true nature as a practical and essential innovation becomes clear.

𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲. It's akin to driving a car without knowing the intricacies of its engine. As an average user, you don’t need to learn every part of how it works, you only need to know 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 it works, and how you can use it effectively.

Individual sovereignty — and therefore also personal responsibility — is Bitcoin’s core principle. This might seem like a new and even uncomfortable concept to some, but it means that 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. Bitcoin's design makes it resistant to censorship and inherently robust.

For those intimidated by Bitcoin's perceived complexity, 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦. Bitcoiners tend to love talking about Bitcoin, and most of them will be willing and able to answer your questions. And 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀, so I can simplify Bitcoin's concepts, and guide you through understanding its principles and functionality.

To all new or potential Bitcoiners, don't be swayed by this or any other fear, uncertainty, or doubt about Bitcoin. 𝘌𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘫𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘪𝘯 𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦. With each step, what may seem complicated now will become clear, and empower you with confidence, self-sovereignty, and generational wealth.

How was that answer?

Give this a 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲🤙 and a 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲🔄 so more newcoiners can rest assured that Bitcoin is not too complicated for them.

And 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸🔖 this for whenever you see this FUD again!

Little end of year selling for some.

Little end of year buying for me. I had a goal & I’m inches away from it. I’m a BTC buyer today.

Also, if you have an old or even new IRA/401K etc etc then it makes sense to look closely at MSTR. BTC has no top, Saylor may also have no top. It will outperform any ETF IMO.

Walking from here to my bedroom feels like its miles away. There's to many rooms.

Yes. 100%

I fit in nowhere.

No friends.

No wolf pack.

No tribe.

I'm buying more bitcoin....

So much to learn, so little time. I need to make a wallet where I'm buying sats nonKYC. My hope was to merge the two wallets eventually through a mixer to make all my stack untracable, but looks like thats going to be a lot harder to do now.

I would bet that most OG bitcoiners used WOS because lightning is something they support financially and academically, but they stopped spending significant time managing it a while back. They all run full nodes, they all use mutlisig and an assortment of passphrase enabled single sigs, cause when you have that much BTC, chump change in a custodial wallet is no more loss than fiat inflation is stealing from your fiat source/stack (it's a deliberate decision). The staying humble part of stacking Bitcoin seems to be in short supply with many active Nostr accounts last 48hrs. The fight is ahead and my guess is many of you are going to comply in ways you currently don't think possible because you're more focused on #WOS than the foundational concepts.

When people are riding around on horses in real life or in movies, especially in complex crowded environments, every single time I find myself distracted and wonder, “what is the horse thinking?!”

Like imagine it from their perspective- people are riding them, there is all sorts of commotion everywhere, and they don’t really know what’s going on or what everybody is doing, but they’re pretty chill about it anyway.

I am really sad that everything is drilled down to this. The way I always understood socialism, is that it should be about selecting a minimum bar such that no one with bad luck has to end up with an absolutely miserable life.

There is a huge difference between wanting everything for free and choosing a bare minimum that you wish anyone can have even if their whole world goes to shit.

I don't know if my understanding of socialism is so wrong, but if socialism is just communism then why are there two words.

Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.

Mammals evolved across millennia in the natural world.

Every decision you make that removes the evolved wisdom of your being from any dimension of this world will lead to disease.

You have the power.

Choose wisely.
