GOOD MORNING TO EVERYONE WHO SPEAKS CLEARLY.

and also good morning to the ones who don’t.

stay humble.

STACK SATS.

God is good.

Gotta love Nostr.

One relay down. Switch to another.

One wallet down, switch to another.

One client has issues, switch to another.

We’re building a massive network of wack-a-mole.

You should use P2P exchanges whenever you can but I'm afraid the "no bitcoin onramps, only fiat offramps" reality is increasingly true.

In the medium to longterm it won't matter that you operate with lower-value transactions because they keep moving the threshold lower to demand ever more burdensome kyc info for transactions.

Moreover, you will have to deal with sudden account freezes and transaction cancellations if you keep sending money to strangers. It's just a reality of this model, one that cannot be mitigated.

Since the financial surveillance system is increasingly consolidated into one big honeypot, you will not be able to escape with multiple bank account tactics.

One solution is to coinjoin funds or do atomic swaps but that does not erase kyc data. It is a suboptimal solution.

I see three real solutions that remain for freedom-minded people to acquire kyc-free sats:

- Mine bitcoin in a non-kyc way

- Exchange fiat and goods face to face

- Work for it

...and of course you should keep most of your funds in Self-Custody. Maybe some on LN(LSP model makes it easier) and pocket money in #ecash mints.

Realistically you will rarely do option 1 and 2. Working for sats is the best solution and it will bootstrap a freedom economy of Sovereign Individuals.

The best way to get this freedom economy going is in my mind obviously nostr. That's why I am building #satshoot and keep supporting this ecosystem any chance I get.

This is my thesis. What's yours?

everything in moderation.

including moderation.

This is the coolest and most advanced piece of software i have ever worked on. the amount of optimization and engineering that went into this thing is nuts. The beginnings of a nostr browser for all platforms, with p2p and bitcoin wallet capabilities built in.

You won’t have to be a bitcoin or nostr wizard to build the next 100,000 nostr apps.

A future where apps automatically interoperate with each other and have bitcoin+zaps integrated with zero fuss.

A future where users are in control of all their data across all the apps they use.

The only way this will happen is if making a nostr app is as easy as making a webpage with a few lines of code. That is the longterm goal of #notedeck, and we’re just getting started.

If Bitcoin is digital property and Bitcoiners are becoming autonomous/sovereign individuals, the historical analogy of being paid in Bitcoin for services lines up with pledging allegiance to a nobleman / Lord or Baron & getting a land grant as a fief.

Vassals would receive land grants as a reward for loyalty, but it wasn't that they owned the land, they could use it. The noble retained the rights to the property & could reclaim it on disloyalty or death.

Eventually the descendants of vassals could inherit the land but they would still have to pay homage & fealty to the lord/nobleman to keep it.

Vassals of a lord/baron were expected to do things such as accompany them on travel as an entourage, give them counsel on legal matters, fight with them in battle (or hire a mercenary) & let the lord & his servants use their accommodations when required.

With bitcoin lending & miniscript maturing, this could actually come to fruition a lot sooner than we think.

Imagine giving a fiefdom of 1 BTC to a vassal of your citadel where you are using a composable miniscript multisig setup that allows for your vassal to borrow against the BTC and "work his digital property" ... but the even of disloyalty (he doesn't pay back the loan) or death, the BTC comes back into your treasury.

For viceroys, castellans or other direct reports declare allegiance to your digital citadel, a blockchain property grant of X BTC could be created as a reward to demonstrate your trust & support, or if you want it to be earned it could take the form of a decaying multisig that decays to just a single sig or multisig that is in their control after X time of proving loyalty.
