This needs a how-to

UPDATE:: In 6 hours, Bitcoiners from all over the world have raised more than 300 donations totaling $8k+ US!

When I got to the market today to visit Estela, she had no idea what was going on. I coordinated this with her daughter and she wanted it to be a surprise for her mom.

We explained to her what we were doing, showed her the tweet, how many views it already had, and her interview. She was really excited to see the interview (this is a clip from an upcoming documentary).

Finally, we asked her to open her Bitcoin wallet. There were millions of sats waiting for her. We explained these were donations from fellow Bitcoiners from every corner of the Earth.

Everyone broke into tears, none of us could believe the outpouring of support.

After a brief moment, Estela immediately started talking about the best uses for the money. Interestingly, none of them involved a structure for her to live in. She wanted to build things for the community.

Her daughter quickly reminded her that maybe she needs a roof over her head with the rainy season coming.

Estela replied that yes, while it will be nice to have a roof over her head tomorrow, she has quite enjoyed sleeping in a hammock at the beach. She will rebuild her modest home, and use whatever's left to give back to the community she cares about so much.

Don't let anyone tell you Bitcoin doesn't have a use case. It's right here. Bitcoin is a force for good. Bitcoiners are a force for good.

For the government, maintaining your purchasing power is a taxable even. 🤔

#Bitcoin #Tax

Banning apps is nothing new for Apple:

2014: removes #Bitcoin wallets globally

2017: removes VPN apps from China App Store

2023: bans nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 in China App Store then globally

Apple’s playbook is clear — they’re anti-freedom.

Make your voice heard & push back.

We’re with you, nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s

Still can’t believe Damus is being forced to take zaps away.

TWITTER HACK UPDATE

After a week of trying to address my Twitter hack, I just woke up to find it’s happening again. I’m locked out of my account, no access, scam tweets on my profile.

I have tried EVERYTHING to get my account back to normal:

- Yubikey

- Changing password 10 times

- Changing email on account

- Remove 3rd party apps

- Remove developer apps

NOTHING IS WORKING

I keep asking for help and getting nothing. I put a lot of time into my account. After 10 years of work in this industry Twitter is what allowed me to be recognized.

It’s the only reason people care about my work and now it’s being stolen and it’s honestly so fucking embarrassing and painful.

I know many people will laugh. They feel like I deserve it for running an engagement account.

Anyway, I am asking for help. I honestly have no idea what to do

Enough to keep ya going after a long day.
