I am now a NWC maxi. I don't want 5+ different lightning wallets in different services. I want to use my one lightning wallet for payments, zaps, podcasting 2.0, AI, etc.

nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 when NWC?

Anyone use Finamp to access their personal music on their home server?

I'm considering getting a cheap pixel, putting graphene on it, and doenloading only Tailscale and Finamp. Basically turning it into a fancy mp3 player.

Any better ideas out there for seamless home music listening on the go?

Everyone should be warning friends and family against using these GLP-1s. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

I would also like to see people stopping putting money into company sponsored Roth retirement accounts. No one can possibly know what the tax policy of the United States will be in 10,15, 20, 25 years. The argument people always make is that "I'd rather pay the taxes now than in the future". Why? What if there is no income tax? What if we move to a flat tax thats lower than your current graduated rate? No one fucking knows what's going to happen. All these jokers say something like "Well the tax rate can only get worse right?". Wrong. Don't pay the government their blood money upfront. If you're going to contribute to a retirement account at least make it a traditional one. Better yet, don't do it and buy bitcoin instead. By doing this you don't let some dumb fiat financial institution lock your money up for decades and then fuck you when you need access to it for an emergency (10% early withdrawal fee).

Alby Hub + NWC + Primal = Magic

Great job to the Primal team and the Alby team for making this seamless and easy. Very exciting stuff!

Full on "mask off" timeline. I'm here for the both the good and bad.

These geriatric fuckwads in Congress are the absolute worst. Both sides are utterly useless and retarded.

That just seems crazy to me.

Do you think there are billions of dollars sitting in cash just waiting for an announcement????

Haven't thought this through fully but seems to me like if etfs are currently sucking up bitcoin at 3x the mining reward rate, we should be getting a price squeeze. But we aren't. Price discovery comes primarily via exchange so are we going to see more exchanges go under soon because they're rehypothecating bitcoin? We know on-exchange bitcoin has decreased significantly recently so if price stays the same, some must be inflating supply by reporting more bitcoin than actually held, no?

If bitcoin is being locked up in etfs at an increasing rate, maybe it makes sense mempool is shrinking as etfs restrict the circulating supply. Once it's locked in the etf, the bitcoin itself doesnt change hands as the paper etfs are traded. I'd imagine this results in less overall onchain transactions. Are we seeing less ordinals and/or other spam-like transactions decrease? How much of a factor is that?

Alternatively, if you dont think there are shenanigans afoot, you can argue irrational markets and bitcoin is severely underpriced at the moment. How else do you explain it?

What happens in ~6 months when various SBRs kick in and further squeeze the circulating supply? Am I wearing bullish-colored glasses here? Cause it seems now is the time to stack hard before markets wake up... unless of course we see another major ftx-like event, in which case we will see a short term price hit due to sentiment, but a long tail perceived supply squeeze due to actual circulating bitcoin suddenly becoming significantly lower than perceived circulating supply.

Someone poke holes in this please....

The ETFs are devouring Bitcoin but they're doing it at OTC desks and not in the broader market, right? How many coins are bought/sold behind closed doors/privately, that dont effect the exchange price? Eventually these companies/banks/govts will have to come to the open market for coins once those desks are drained, but apparently that hasn't really been the case thus far.

This my uneducated understanding

Conquering 4:30am workouts is a super power.

Bitcoin and I are the same. Everyday we both grind. Sometimes there are setbacks/dips, sometimes we make big steps toward the endgame/pumps, but seen over a long period of time progress is always up and to the right toward prosperity.

I wear them every night past 8pm and I sleep like a baby

This is why everyone should clam up about their stack, dress like regular normies, and legally carry a gun.

If they're coming after us like that then shit has really hit the fan. The non BTC holding normies are super fucked. I'll take self custody sats in any account over not having any or being scared to get an unchained account because of the muh govt.

wtf is that thing?
