Gave up on umbrel on my piece of crap pi that sounds like it's running full fan capacity 24/7. just gonna stick with core.

Not sure how much I can run. I stopped due to a f'ed up knee and I'm afraid it might come back if I do it again. Lasts for a week if returns.

I would say that 90% of the time I feel the same way, except that emotional/cinematic touches done lightly and very selectively have much higher impact. Sometimes it can feel disingenuous, especially when overdone, but our big problem in the Bitcoin space isn't in attracting the *thinkers* of the world, its in appealing to the *feelers.*

So despite that some will get a little irked, I think it will overall have a far greater impact. I will try to ensure I tone it down a little bit and not lean on it too hard, but I think it's important to let the impact be felt where it matters for those who are not familiar with these ideas, because its 10x more likely to stay with them, otherwise they are likely to watch it, maybe think "that's a great point," but then the very next emotional appeal to "saving the children" will have them screaming to enact another $2 trillion spending bill.

If they only ever feel the emotional weight of the argument to "help" with a bunch of centralized fraud, while they only ever get a thoughtful argument that is fleeting for the other side of the equation, then (for better or worse), the emotional appeal will weigh heavier than the logic for the overwhelming majority of people.

The secret sauce, at least in my thinking, is to try to convey the emotional weight *with* a strong logical argument that will paint a full picture of what is happening. Then, i think, you can break through the Overton Window of a far broader group of people... at least that's my hope and I'll be testing this strategy over the next couple of years.

Appreciate the feedback 🙏🏻

Scammer dude didn't even use my website, banner, Nostr address or Lightning address. We need better fraudsters.

A reminder that you can buy "bonk" coins on Coinbase but you can't withdraw or deposit with lightning

In case anyone has trouble understanding, the popular "1 sat = 1 sat" mantra refers to the value of bitcoin relative to itself. There is a fixed supply that can't be centrally/artificially inflated. But the relative purchasing power of 1 sat vs. other things in the real world changes. It has changed since the first bitcoin transaction was made, and will continue to change into the future. 1 sat = 1 sat, but 1 sat ≠ 1 hotdog ... yet.

I don't disagree, but this screenshot is just a historical reference point for the real exchange value of bitcoin. All your goods, services, and zaps must be priced at this exchange rate because 1 sat = 1 sat.

What if? My node would reject Satoshi’s attempted transactions.
