Unfortunately this is a perfect example of why I don’t “welcome zap” new users any more.

Something isn’t adding up. Pretty much everyone in my family agrees Bitcoin is headed to $1M but none of them own any but me. Any ideas?

If you're building freedom tech and need help, let me know.

Local feeds.

How are you sponsored by Nostr?

At what price are you buying again?

I'm still learning the BTC game...

The official position of the Spiral team is that Satoshi is a cat:

1) Never around when people want them to be.

2) Impossible to find when they don’t want to be found.

3) Eats weird gross food.

4) Proficient in C++, which has the number of characters as “cat,” starts with a C, and has a character that looks like a lowercase T.

5) Keeps weird hours.

6) Prefers English spelling because all cats have British accents.

7) What are cypherpunks if not mysterious? What are cats if not mysterious?

8) Independent and unknowable.

9) Whiskers, probably.

10) Could be sitting next to you and you wouldn’t know it.

11) Could be sitting on you and you wouldn’t know it.

12) Knows how to use a keyboard.

13) Very popular online.

14) Known to “move on to other things.”

15) Satoshi Nakamoto is a Japanese name. You know who eats a lot of fish? The Japanese. You know who else?

Most people don’t have any serious mental health issues.

Just ordinary misery.

A little depression and a little anxiety are normal.

That’s part of an ordinary life. Not something that needs to be medicated.

Not something that requires years of therapy.

Just the normal course of events.

And can be remedied quite easily with exercise, nutrition, social relationships, sunlight and a feeling of purpose.

In general it's a good idea to keep your bitcoin node and personal self-hosted apps separate. Just get another small computer for your nextcloud. And soon you'll end up with 13 computers like me.

Zapping a few sats on NOSTR or donating to your favorite podcast on Fountain are very cool technical achievements.

But those few cents are not enough for the creator to make a living.

Maybe it works for the biggest voices on NOSTR, but the rest of us are still dependent on ads and sponsors.

Mining again for the first time since 2011. This thing is adorable.

My son who is under 10 bet me that he could read the1000 pages of the lord of the rings trilogy before the end of the month.

Let’s play a game. There are 8 bags of groceries. How much does it cost?

Closest person who doesn’t go over ashen I check back later gets 2100 sats 👇🏻

(Note: there is nothing with seed oils in these bags, all real food)
