Passionate about family, nature, Jesus, herbalism, permaculture, homesteading, homeschooling, wild food, meat-eating, Bitcoin, history and tradition, among many other things.

Woah, that last part hit me hard. I have known it a long time, but it was put so succinctly here. When a State is no longer able to steal wealth or intercept the acquision of it, it will cease to be a State, and it will become a seller in a market, in one form or another.

Anybody else been getting shorted on #fold rewards? I buy gift cards for Amazon and they are supposed to be 2.5% in sats, but the last 4+ purchases I calculate the percentage and pull sats/dollar conversion rates at the SAME TIME the transaction takes place, and the rewards all end up only being about 1.6% - 1.8%, while the app says 2.5% right there by the sats. nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev you've been promoting them for some time now. Is there something I'm missing? I have spin + subscription. The sats/$ rate can't be THAT far off between services can it? Is Fold just pricing BTC way below other sources (like crypto.com, coinbase, etc)? I'm increasingly disappointed in Fold, but I don't know of other cards that give sats back so something is better than nothing, but the CONSTANT changes, lack of support, past buying restrictions, and shorting of rewards now is getting on my damn nerves. If any other competing offer exist, Id probably stop using Fold.

Good question. I had the same issue years ago. In my experience, Bitcoin tends to be one of those things you cant "un-learn" and it changes your brain and impacts your view on everything else. That's hard for partners sometimes. If you have big name books, they probably have everything there, and it may prove good that it doesn't come from YOU. It would be just a matter of how your wife learns. Depends on her view, if everything is ok and we can trust government, or we can't, etc. No definitive solution on my end, but empathy and something to think about.

As the result of a funny conversation with my wife, I decided to use ChatGPT to write a short story.

Prompt:

In the style of dr seuss' "hop on pop", write a small story between 150 and 200 words, about a baby buying bitcoin, called "baby, buy bitcoin".

ChatGPT output:

In a crib, near a bib, Baby sat with a grin,

Dreaming of coins, so shiny and thin.

With a giggle and coo, and a diaper askew,

Baby hatched a plan, a financial coup.

"Buy Bitcoin," said Baby, a tale to unfold,

In a world of blockchain, so thrilling and bold.

No piggy banks here, just digital cheer,

Baby's first investment drawing near.

Tiny fingers tapped on the touchscreen bright,

Buying Bitcoin with all of their might.

No need for a rattle, just crypto battle,

In the world of finance, a newborn's prattle.

The market may wobble, and prices may swing,

But Baby, undeterred, saw the promise it'd bring.

Hodl, dear Baby, through night and through day,

In the crypto adventure, you'll find your own way.

So, in the nursery, amid toys and plush,

Baby embraced the blockchain's hush.

A lesson for all, big and small,

In the whimsical tale of Baby's Bitcoin sprawl.

Yes I was hoping for this when I downloaded Phoenix. Sounds like it's not doable yet and I'll have to use Zeus or WoS for zaps, is that right?

Gave you a follow. I just jumped in too after a decade without social media. I have gathered that you can follow people AND hashtags, and that's what my feed is made up of. The two you're following probably haven't posted notes, or there is an issue with relays. Follow me back and see if you get my notes.

I listen to the Bigfoot and Beyond podcast on #fountain would recommend if Bigfoot is an interest.

My Christmas music. What I listened to my whole life, way more than Rudolf and Santa etc as far as music. A family tradition.
