How’s everyone feeling about this RFK guy?

Is he Bobby the Op or Bitcoin Bobby the Opcode?

My brain today...

Lol "Zap shaming"

I did a larger #bitcoin transaction and a consolidation today

5+ years of using bitcoin and I still got a bit sweaty 🤣

Oh the thrill. Does it ever go away? Or do I need to be less of a lettuce?

Really interesting indeed, the carbon paper / enveloppe analogy is great to grasp a how it is done, and the privacy improvement including what ecash allows in term of atomic multipath payment from multiple mints is quite interesting.

How I see it for Bitcoiners in the future:

-savings+ big tx (real estate, big purchases in general)--> Bitcoin

- day to day payments --> hybrid wallets :

self custodial LN (with LSP or not) coupled with an ecash wallet. The self custodial Wallet could top up the ecash wallet at will, allowing better privacy to send from many mints and asynchronous payment if no satisfying solution is found by then.

this podcast ep was so good.

few new ecash things that clicked for me:

- you can deterministically generate secrets for the ecash tokens from a seed so that ecash can be backed up and restored with similar UX to bitcoin

- the multi-source multi-destination atomic LN tx thing is just next level for practical privacy and censorship resistance holy shit

I don’t even know how this work. I’m just not a big fan of the government

GOOD MORNING NOSTR, STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS 🫡

Long health update from a guy who doesn't eat vegetables! 🥩

Next month I celebrate 13 years of eating a low carb, high fat & protein diet. Started with a paleo diet, and switched to carnivore over 5 years ago.

Went from 260->180lbs. Currently 205lbs thanks to strength training. Working on gaining more muscle mass! 💪

For peace of mind, I requested a fractionated lipid panel and a coronary calcium CT scan. The panel not only gives a breakdown of cholesterol, but also measures particle size. The CT scan looks for calcium deposits in the heart's arteries.

First, my lipid panel results (fasted 12 hours):

HDL: 64

Triglycerides: 47

LDL: 223

LDL Pattern: A (large & buoyant - good news!)

Total cholesterol: 302

302 total! 223 LDL! I'm a walking heart attack! 😂

Dr immediately prescribed statins. No talk about diet & lifestyle, only a call from the pharmacy saying my prescription is ready. Uh, ok?

I've never smoked, I don't consume alcohol or caffeine, and I exercise daily, including weight training 4-5x per week. I don't do "diet cheat days" either. I'm very strict about how I eat.

I've had many lipid panels done since changing my diet, and they always look like this. So I wasn't panicked, but I still felt anxious waiting for my CT scan appointment. I'm always questioning my beliefs. What if I've been wrong all these years and my heart is a mess?

Good news - I scored a ZERO! 🎉

So I celebrated like any carnivore would - with 2 ribeyes Apologies for the lack of pics - I ate the steaks too quickly. 😅
