Yeaterday I had a great time of 90 minutes lecture about #Bitcoin to 7th grade adolescents.
I was a bit shocked that most of them never heard of it. It was only 3 that could barely say anything about, or related to it.
Started with the basics of trying to define what is money, or could be considered as money. Explained the basic mathematics principles of cryptography, and moved forward to the Whitepaper, Blockchain and all that jazz.
What made it really great was using nostr:npub18d4r6wanxkyrdfjdrjqzj2ukua5cas669ew2g5w7lf4a8te7awzqey6lt3 to demonstrate it live, where all of them waited eagerly for next block! As well as nostr:npub1s0vtkgej33n7ec4d7ycxmwt78up8hpfa30d0yfksrshq7t82mchqynpq6j's Passport for making it feel easy to use for anybody, and Offline Cash for those we felt in a real need to hold something in hands.
Educating the next generation with mathematics and Bitcoin will make a better society to live in. One lecture at a time. 🤘🏻
Strong cryptographic privacy, where Bitcoin misses (as for now, at least).
Yea, people exchange between the two daily.. Samourai’s Atomic Swap worked like a charm.
Second, without any doubt!
What’s the best way to learn bitcoin for newbies who are (1) older and (2) non-technical?
Context: Bitcoin Magazine’s “learn bitcoin” class seems to be too difficult for this cohort.

Depends on the meaning of teaching Bitcoin; Using the tools, or understanding concepts.
https://learnmebitcoin.com is a great start, with a “Beginners” section.
So with all that's going on right now, it has made me realise I am way overdue on self custodying my lightning funds (Alby is just too damn convenient) so...

Pro's/Con's?
Potential issues moving forward?
What's positive in development?
Am I even right to be concerned about Alby's custodial model?

Imho, nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 is greatest of all LN wallets. The configuration options, but very user friendly for new lighters.. a winning horse.
Morning!
Runes might be beatifuly designed, but almost nobody capable of reading it. The same will happen to this.. a relic from the past. 🪓
Yes. #StonewallX2 made it easy, and is still available manually via QRs.

That wouldn’t help, as the coordinator server was seized.
GM Nostr! 🤘🏻
Been late to the party.. 😶🌫️
Keys were generated safely, using nostr:npub1s0vtkgej33n7ec4d7ycxmwt78up8hpfa30d0yfksrshq7t82mchqynpq6j; What a great way to start the journey in here!
