Even going forward there were great concerns around de-banking / Operation Chokepoint 2.0 that have now resolved by getting a friendlier regulator in place.
I view the current bull market we're in as mainly the market reacting to getting a friendly administration in place, as opposed to speculating about a strategic reserve or anything.
Now you can buy Bitcoin as I.E a pension fund without worrying if you'll get sued by the SEC and have your bank account closed. This was a justified concern in the last admin.
I have little respect for shitcoiners, but in some circumstances we have common causes with them. Access to the financial system is one such cause.
I wholeheartedly support this - Politicians have repeatedly interfered with Bitcoin in the last few years. Organizing to make life difficult for them in turn is what a healthy democracy looks like.
W.r.t Gensler only being a problem for "crypto" - Sorry you're completely wrong about this. First of all SEC fought Bitcoin ETF:s every step of the way - Along that time they repeatedly described Bitcoin as a scam only used for criminals. Gensler is not a Bitcoiner, he's a nocoiner. If it was up to him we'd have no ETF:s and no options trading on these ETF:s. They only approved ETF:s because they lost a court case against Grayscale. Could we fight a hostile SEC for everything? Sure, maybe. But I'd rather get the SEC out of the way altogether if I can.
I would also say that regardless of your opinion on "crypto", Bitcoin and crypto are regulated together in practice. And I would much rather have pro-crypto politicians than anti-crypto ones. Molly White has the opposite preference - She's a self described "crypto critic", I.E a rapid nocoiner and statist. She's much more of an enemy of Bitcoin than anybody working at Coinbase is.
That's very generous of you. 😂
That'd be very confusing as this is the unit symbol for 1 BTC which is 100 m sats.
LifPay seems to be a good WoS replacement - It has Nostr Wallet Connect and a Lightning address. I just started using it as my zapping wallet.
For my 5c - What X does is they abide by what's legal speech in each jurisdiction. They don't really have a choice if they want to operate in a country. In the US, that means you're more or less unrestricted due to the 1a. A lot of places around LATAM/EMEA/Asia are not so fortunate with their laws though and there nostr is still important.
That'd be really cool! My baseline expectation of Trump admin is less Russia belligerence but more on Iran/China. Hoping for peace though. 🤞
You can try this extension, it let me read the full article.
Yeah LightSpark is basically the Coinbase of Lightning
Thanks for porting it!
There seems to be some problem with dark mode support, lots of white text on white background like this.
I either C/P, or there's a search function in the app that works on GitHub. Thanks for checking out Obtainium!🙂
Until I googled it I 100% thought you where making that dish up. 😂

It can be automatic if you want, personally I prefer to manually pull them.
I tested several third party app stores. But found direct download of the APK from https://stashpay.me had the best UX. The APK is signed with the developer key. So it‘s a TOFU (trust on first use) model if you trust the TLS cert on the first install. Subsequent updates of the APK would verify the developer signing key.
What‘s the advantage of using third party app stores? They don’t do auto-updates as far as I understand?
No they do handle updates - I'd also prefer zap.store and GitHub (Obtainium) as the distribution method
My one beef with https://8marketcap.com/ is that bonds are not on there. I'm pretty sure I.E the US 10 year dwarfs gold in market cap.
