Bitcoin and Nostr FTW Freedom Tech dev

Nostr taught me how the internet could be a place of inspiration and community instead of a distopia captured by big tech.

Best wallet in the space!

That's okay man 'cause I like the abuse

Now I know she's playing with me,

That's okay 'cause I got no self-esteem"

Hey nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn your zap split feature is still broken.

#Coracle is a great client! Don't leave those sats on the table!

Found a way to reliably onboard people to #nostr :

As long as machines cannot suffer as humans, they won't be able to produce real #art.

Regular reminder:

Most companies don't have an incentive to lead you to full sovereignty. In reality, no one is responsible for your bitcoin other than yourself.

They will tell you to do things their way which is the "best practice" and are incentivized to milk your stack as long as they can.

Dear Mr. XYZ you've been our client for a whole year now and although we are happy to have you as our client, please consider to graduate to Self-Custody soon.

It is in your best interest to learn and develop the confidence you need to hold your bitcoin on your own.

Yours sincerely

Have you ever received sth like this? Think about it.

Bullish on #FrostSnap for #nostr, combined with #nsecbunker co-signers.

2 of 3 #Schnorr with one key server-side, one in the browser/client-side and one as a safety measure. Keys can be rotated anytime using the 2 keys exclusively controlled by the user.

No single points of failure, just Self-Custody with great UX and ease of mind.

I will fight chaos with order.

But I embrace uncertainty to find novelty.

If we are to spread the wonders if #nostr, we really need to improve the mobile experience.

Off-putting mobile UX will put off adoption you know...

I am not just counting on governments attacking #bitcoin. I am looking forward to it.

Cypherpunks went through all kinds of hardship to finally create and build bitcoin to where it is today. Bitcoin has grown up. We can't possibly comprehend the turmoil this generation went through. Yet.

Now it's time for the "then they fight you" period. And we have to be ready. We have to be strong. But no one becomes strong without living through difficulty.

If we are to become a strong generation of bitcoiners, we must endure the attacks. We must develop resilience. This is impossible without real pressure.

So let them come, and make us ever stronger and bitcoin may thrive for millennia. We are only as strong as the hardest thing we endured. And I fear we are too lazy and comfortable yet.

The path ahead thrills me and scares the shit out of me to be honest. But I want to look back on my life with pride and dignity. Self Custody and unwavering bitcoin-only mentality will help me get further.

I am here to stay. I am here to build. I am a bitcoiner and will not go down without a fight. Let them come...

The ONLY thing #bitcoin fixes is the life of people who are ready to take responsibility and demonstrate proof of work.

I don't think we can "boost adoption" by cajoling businesses to accept bitcoin.

I think that the same incentives that work for individuals will work for business owners, therefore businesses too. They will want to preserve their companies' wealth in a real store of value that can be used without permission.

Bitcoiners will be waiting on the other side with a whole ecosystem of products and services. But adoption cannot be forced.

Nowadays I don't try to convince people about bitcoin. I just tell my honest opinion.

If you want to convince people, you're just trying to convince yourself. It is immaturity.

Seeking reassurance from normies is futile.

Just keep building, #stayhumble and #stacksats !

Bullmarket is on.

Have #bitcoin in self-custody? Great.

Now consider 10x-ing your #security and ease of mind with [Quest 8](https://bitcoinplebs.org/build-your-citadel/) of my free training program!

It will make you rethink your decisions from first principles and provide inspiration to get to a level of mastery you can count on for years to come.

Caveat: Proof of Work is needed.

It's kinda sad to see people on SN trying to reinvent online markets of all sorts, rather than converting to #nostr...

Silk road has shown long before that it is an insane idea to host products and services on centralized databases. Can only end in disaster.

The nostr whack-a-mole game mitigates these problems, although we need to see adversity in action to actually know.

Some people telling me:

"Now I know I should've bought at 15K! If the price drops again I'll buy a bunch for sure!"

Me:

1. No you won't. Fear and fiat is a lifestyle just as the hodl mentality.

2. You could buy now. Price will double again with time. I'm buying now above 60K. But you'll pass this opportunity just like the others.

How to Hodl in 2 steps:

1. Don't time the market. Dump all fiat toilet paper the minute you can for precious bitcoin

2. Enjoy life and don't get distracted.

Worked for me

Heard

npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn talking

about zap splits for nostr clients as a monetization option. I haven't

thought about that before but it's a crazy good idea IMO and YES, client

devs deserve the cut!

Setting my split to 20% on all my desktop zaps! This option should be much more accessible! Fund the future you want to see!
