Met some wonderful Nostr & Bitcoin folks in Nosara recently.

Happy to be here, & happy to be free.

people are sleeping on ecash and nwc

nwc solves many convenience/ux issues, like automatic subscriptions

ecash vastly improves privacy for day to day payments and allows you to easily diversify your custodial risk by using multiple mints

People who are serious about self custody can run their own mints and issue their own nwc connections - it's not that hard if you're really deep into Bitcoin

And those who are comfortable using custodians for payments (99.9999% of the world) - you can get a 10x UX improvement over legacy rails.

Bullish af

There is no second best sports.

Rags to riches!

Do you have to touch bottom to succeed, though?

I know that feels good

It always blows me away that my Dad’s generation’s ideas and advice about how to hold assets are diametrically opposed to what makes sense today after five decades of monetary debasement.

Remember the days when it used to make sense to double pay your mortgage?

Now, why bother? When you project your cost of borrowing and weigh it against returns on available investments, it tells the whole tale. Holding certain assets largely as debt is suddenly smarter? The country is completely upside down.

Is it any wonder why when you drive through any small town in the land, that everything looks like nothing has even had a coat of paint in three decades? Shrinking free time, increased material costs, and weighing those against hiring out jobs vs not doing them at all because it just doesn’t matter anymore.

If ever there were a more obvious example of people following their incentives, as their money melts like an ice cube and our elected officials have their mouths firmly on the spigot, I can’t think of one.
