we tested zaps on this note… we made seven attempts to⚡zap this note, at malawi@8333.mobi, over a period of 10 minutes. Seven of the zaps were successfully paid... please check for 7 satoshis received. problem: we found that your lightning address server **did not* properly produce zap receipts, and/or didn't send the zap receipts to the relays specified in the zap. (the zap spec requires that the zap receipts be sent to the relays specified in the zap.) this means a nostr user who zaps you might not see a number appearing next to the ⚡ icon after zapping.... if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- https://rizful.com ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.
Yes, 7 sats was successfully received.
Mostro is great! Honestly.
Don’t Quit Your Fiat Job – Change The Money, Not The Industry
There’s some folks who believe that to “work in Bitcoin,” you need to leave your current profession and find a job with a Bitcoin company. But here’s the truth: you don’t need to quit your fiat job, to work in Bitcoin. All you need to do is quit fiat.
The real transformation happens when we changed the money from fiat to Bitcoin. When you stop thinking in fiat terms, and instead start measuring, saving, and transacting in sats.
So, don’t worry if you’re not writing code for a certain Bitcoin tool or managing infrastructure at a Bitcoin startup. That’s not the only path. If you’re providing real value in your community, you’re already doing work that matters. The only thing left is to get out of fiat and get into the real money.
Think about it this way: the Bitcoin ndustry it is the foundation of the future economy, and that future is happening now. Just like the internet became part of every industry. We don’t need everyone to flock into a handful of Bitcoin companies. All we need is, everyone to bring Bitcoin into their daily trade, their businesses, and their communities.
I think that’s the real revolution, we all are looking forward to: a teacher accepting sats for tutoring sessions, a farmer selling crops for Bitcoin, a local craftsman pricing goods in sats, a local groceries store accepting sats via LN payments. Every job becomes a Bitcoin job when you change the money.
The hardest part isn’t learning a new industry, but it’s rather breaking free from the mindset that your only option is fiat.
So don’t quit your fiat job. Keep doing what you’re good at. But stop doing it for fiat. Start doing it for Bitcoin ( a tool for: freedom, peace, love, hope, care and responsibility), which isn't just about figures. That’s how we all win.
Quit fiat, not your job.

Tando may have hacked the matrix!
The challenge with bitcoin circular economies is the same challenge with two-sided marketplaces: Who goes first?
Uber drivers with no riders? 👎
Uber riders with no drivers? 👎
Q: So how do you jumpstart the flywheel?
A: You lop off one side of the equation to eliminate the friction.
This merchant in Kibera, Kenya no longer fears bitcoin, because she's no longer stuck holding the bag and having to figure out how to spend the bitcoin she receives. With Tando the flywheel of spending doesn't get stuck because we removed all the friction points. Smooth!

Bitcoin is priceless. Only the fiat-minded, who are retarded, measure Bitcoin's value in fiat. Bitcoin''s value is measured in its ability to enhance freedom and sovereignty.
Yesterday my X account was partially breached. X Support investigated it and sent me an email saying it seemed to still in my control.
But now the hacker gained headway somehow. That's what I was trying to prevent by taking early action, but alas.
They posted a crypto scam from it recently. X fortunately deleted it pretty quickly.
I have a note on my homepage saying my Twitter was compromised. https://www.lynalden.com/
As I mentioned yesterday here on NOSTR, please disregard any messages from it until I confirm that I have control of it again.
My X account blocked a lot of people as well. If I get control of the account again, the good news is I won't be hard to figure out who to unblock, since I don't block anyone.
Thank you Nostr
All shitcoins (including all cryptos, so called stablecoins, cbdcs) are dying simultaneously.
We're Expecting Another Bitcoiner!
Life is full of milestones, but few in life compare to the incredible joy of adding to your family. I am beyond excited to announce that my wife and I are expecting another Bitcoiner! As we welcome this new addition into our world, we're filled with hope and anticipation for both our future family and the future of the Bitcoin ecosystem.
For us, Bitcoin represents much more than what normal people can imagine. As parents, we see Bitcoin not just as a network of nodes but as a network of values: self-sovereignty, resilience, and truth in a world often clouded by uncertainty. We hope to be able to pass these principles along to our child and raise the child with the same commitment towards contributing positively to this revolutionary ecosystem.
Our child will grow up in a world where Bitcoin continues to reshape economies, empower individuals, and challenge elite systems. Whether they contribute through development, advocacy, or education, we hope they find their own unique way to uphold and strengthen the network.
To all the parents and future parents in the Bitcoin community, this journey is a reminder of why we do what we do. Building a future for the next generation means fostering a world where truth, freedom, and innovation thrive. Here's to raising the next generation of Bitcoiners who will keep the torch burning bright!
We can't wait to welcome our new Bitcoiner within the next two months, into the fold and are already dreaming of all the bedtime stories about the Satoshi's gift, from the history of money to the Whitepaper, to the genesis block, Satoshi's gift, and the magic of decentralization. To my wife, the strongest and most inspiring partner: Thanks for being part of this great journey that is my life. Special thanks to [KG](npub1773r2y5zl3sa7xufmye96un3hf02rse8j82hkd45ps0wvk2hrkasslesjt), and thank you entire Bitcoin community: Thanks for building a better future: one step at a time, one code at a time, one block at a time. One sat at a time. Tick-tock Next block.

**I Am Not Excited About Bitcoin's $100k Price.**
**Here's the Why**
Bitcoin recently surged to a price of $100,000 in fiat terms, and while this milestone is undeniably significant for many, I find myself unexcited. To me, Bitcoin is much more than its price tag in dollars or any other fiat currency. It's a peaceful revolution, a movement built on principles that go far beyond manipulation and control.
**The Value of Bitcoin is Priceless**
Bitcoin has no price. Its value, unlike that of any other currency in the world, does not reside in the governments, central banks, or speculation by markets. In fact, Bitcoin's intrinsic worth lies in its fundamental principles. Its value is not a thing to be captured solely by fiat numbers, but rather it's the price of freedom, decentralization, and individual sovereignty which Bitcoin offers to the user.
**Bitcoin's Price in Fiat Terms Misses the Point**
When people talk about Bitcoin reaching $100,000 or even higher in fiat terms, it misses the larger point: Bitcoin isn't just a way to make money; it's a solution to the inherent flaws in traditional monetary systems. And the real beauty of Bitcoin lies in its independence from any central forces: decentralized, borderless, and-most importantly-not manipulable by any single entity.
**The Real Action: Bitcoin's Potential Above Fiat**
At its core, Bitcoin is the fairest form of money ever created. It operates without a founder, no central authority, and no pre-mine. It's an ecosystem where everyone has an equal opportunity to participate. It's a community-driven network where decisions are made through consensus and powered by the global collaboration of volunteers.
For me, the excitement is not about seeing Bitcoin at new ATH in fiat but in the potential of a world where Bitcoin is truly a reliable store of value and medium of exchange, immune to inflationary pressures and political meddling. What if I told you, **Bitcoin $100M soon, in fiat terms. But always remember that Bitcoin is priceless.
**Why the $100k Mark Doesn't Stir Me**
The excitement around Bitcoin’s fiat price may stem from a sense of speculation or a desire for financial gain, but these are not the reasons Bitcoin was created. The $100k price is an arbitrary figure that reflects market speculation, not Bitcoin’s true potential. I’ve always believed that Bitcoin is priceless, and valuable because of its ability to restore power to the people, not making everyone rich in fiat terms, but making people free.
**The Force Is Strong**
What really excites me is not a new ATH. But the fact that Bitcoin empowers people, and the elite are unhappy with it, but there's nothing they can do to stop it.
To all who are traveling to Nairobi for the Africa Bitcoin Conference, God be with you. May the force be with you all.
##Bitcoin: The Fairest Money on Earth
Bitcoin, often referred to as peaceful revolution, is a revolutionary form of money that operates in a completely decentralized manner. It has no founder, no ruling foundation, and no centralized entity controlling its operations.
### 1. **Bitcoin Has No Founder**
Unlike cryptos, Bitcoin has no single identifiable founder, making it a truly community-driven project.
### 2. **Bitcoin Has No Ruling Foundation**
There is no governing body or ruling foundation that oversees the operations of Bitcoin. This decentralized nature means that Bitcoin operates without the control of any central organization or government. Decisions about the future of Bitcoin are made through community consensus and through the code itself, with updates and changes being proposed and voted on by the community of miners, developers, and users.
### 3. **Bitcoin Has No Pre-Mine**
A key characteristic of Bitcoin is that there was no pre-mine — meaning no coins were created and allocated to specific individuals or entities before Bitcoin was publicly available. From the moment the Bitcoin network went live in 2009, anyone could participate in running miners and nodes. This stands in stark contrast to cryptocurrencies, which allocate a significant portion of the initial coins to developers or early investors, forming a pyramid scheme.
### 4. **Bitcoin Has No Insiders**
Bitcoin is free from the concept of “insiders” — there are no special individuals or groups. There is no central entity that controls the network. Every participant, is equally important and is subject to the same rules. This ensures fairness and transparency in how Bitcoin operates.
### 5. **Bitcoin Has No Initial Investors**
Unlike traditional startups that rely on venture capital or initial investors to fund development, Bitcoin had no investors. There were no rounds of funding, no angel investors, and no venture capitalists involved. The Bitcoin network started and grew based purely on the merit of its ability to restore power of freedom and sovereignty back to the people.
### 6. **Bitcoin Has No Office**
Bitcoin doesn’t have a physical office or headquarters. Its development is driven by a global community of volunteers who work on the code and maintain the network. Developers, node runners and miners are spread across the world, making Bitcoin a truly borderless and decentralized system. There is no need for an office, as the work happens online, with individuals collaborating remotely to secure the network.
### 7. **Bitcoin Has No Website**
While there are many websites discussing and offering information about Bitcoin, the network itself has no official website. Bitcoin’s decentralized nature means that it doesn’t rely on any single entity or website to operate. Instead, information about Bitcoin is shared through forums, open-source repositories, and community channels. This lack of central control makes Bitcoin resilient and reduces the risk of misinformation being propagated by any single authority.
### 8. **Bitcoin Has No Paid Executive Team**
Bitcoin does not have a salaried executive team or board of directors. The development of Bitcoin is driven by volunteers and contributors who are motivated by passion for the technology and the philosophy behind it. This volunteer-based approach helps maintain Bitcoin’s open and transparent nature. No one profits from the development or management of Bitcoin through salaries or stock options.
### 9. **Bitcoin Has No Marketing Team**
Bitcoin does not rely on marketing teams or traditional advertising campaigns. Instead, its growth has been driven by word of mouth, community involvement, and organic interest. The simplicity and utility of Bitcoin have attracted users on their own, as the technology speaks for itself. As a result, Bitcoin has spread largely through grassroots efforts and has built a strong, self-sustaining community of users, developers, and miners.
### 10. **Bitcoin Has No Paid Developer Team**
While Bitcoin has a robust community of developers who contribute to its code, these developers are not paid for their work. Bitcoin’s open-source nature means that anyone with the necessary skills can contribute to the project, but they do so because they believe in the cause, not for financial gain. This ensures that development is focused on improving the network rather than serving the interests of a single entity.
### 11. **Bitcoin Had No Starting Price**
Just as all the most important things in life are priceless, Bitcoin is priceless. It had no assigned fiat value, when launched. The fiat price of Bitcoin was determined purely by the free market, based on demand and supply. Initially, it was traded for pennies, and its fiat value gradually increased as more people recognized its potential.
### 12. **Bitcoin Has No Human Controlling It**
Perhaps one of the most significant aspects of Bitcoin is that it operates without human control. There is no CEO, no board of directors, and no centralized authority that can influence or control its operations. The Bitcoin network is maintained by volunteers who validate transactions and secure the network, and its development is guided by an open-source community. This makes Bitcoin immune to any manipulation or control.
### Conclusion: **Bitcoin Is the Fairest Money on Earth**
All of these factors combined, make Bitcoin the fairest and most equitable form of money ever. Bitcoin operates on a level playing field where everyone has an equal opportunity to participate. Its decentralized structure ensures that no single entity can control or manipulate it, and its open-source nature allows anyone to contribute to its operations.

The Truth About Bitcoin: Clearing the Misconceptions
In recent years, many innocent people have fallen victim to scams linked to crypto investments. Numerous companies have emerged, claiming to introduce Bitcoin, only to deceive people with promises of easy wealth through crypto.
Bitcoin is Not an Investment
One of the most common misconceptions about Bitcoin is that it is an investment opportunity. Many of the companies promoting Bitcoin, portray it as a way to grow wealth rapidly. This is totally wrong. Bitcoin is neither crypto nor investment. It is, in fact, a peaceful revolution.
The Dangers of Crypto
The term "Bitcoin" is often associated with quick financial gains, and this association has led many to believe that Bitcoin is an easy path to riches. However, this mindset is dangerous. Bitcoin is often marketed as ways to make quick money, but the reality is that most people end up losing their money to scammers or through crypto, what they are deceived to believe is Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not crypto.
All the companies that claim to offer investment opportunities related to Bitcoin are actually running fraudulent operations. These scams use the the name of Bitcoin to convince unsuspecting individuals, promising large returns but delivering nothing through crypto instead. These scams thrive on the lack of understanding what Bitcoin really is.
The Real Profit Comes from the Scammers, Not the Investors
The unfortunate truth is that while people are often led to believe they are making money by investing in crypto, the real profit is made by the scammers running these fraudulent schemes. Investment companies that promise high returns are typically much more successful at profiting from your investments than you are.
These companies often rely on tactics such as selling ICOs, recruiting new investors, promising bonuses, or offering false assurances about the safety and profitability of crypto investments. In reality, these companies simply use new investments to pay off earlier investors, creating a Ponzi scheme-like structure that collapses once there are no more new investors to recruit.
Protecting Yourself from Scams
To avoid falling victim to these scams, it is important to understand the true nature of Bitcoin. Bitcoin never had ICO, Bitcoin has no CEO, Bitcoin has no government running it, Bitcoin has no definitive governing body. It's a peaceful revolutionary tool for individual freedom and sovereignty.
