100% alpha and stack sats. Shrinkflation-proof. Never KYC. Peace.

From what I've seen of him he's ok. Maybe I've been lucky or just out of the loop. Life's too short to understand all the beefs.

Impressive. As someone whose only tried 16:8, I'm curious if you've done this before and for how long?

Nostr is so data intensive I think notifications means full activity even on the background. The only way I see that getting solved is by involving a server at least on the read side.

I have one, a Rakuten Kobo. Unfortunately I still prefer books.

My pleasure. Been tracking Bitcoin for a long time and as much as I know, if you like detail there's a lot to dig into. I mean just the last month with Nostr and zaps has been reinvigorating as far as newer tech.

Thanks to Dan for asking the opening question. We'll always need a steady stream of discussions like this to learn and test our knowledge.

Shame on the SEC for making me visit Twitter

Apologies for my brevity and haste. Cold-storage is for me where it takes significant time and effort to do a transaction. It IS a kind of wallet to use the broad term but, just as in meatspace we make a distinction between a wallet and a safe or vault, I prefer not to use the word wallet with cold storage.

A wallet I think is more day to day, close at hand, with you so you can make quick purchases and receive small amounts. A hardware wallet can be employed here but probably isn't necessary if we're talking amounts that you'd keep in a meatspace wallet.

Hope it helps and thanks for the question. I prefer to write more to be as clear as possible so feel free to ask more if you still have questions.

As a Quest owner I don't think it's an issue. Clearly they have the resolution and I'd bet the lenses are good quality. Not an Apple fanboi but I think it's just because it doesn't add to the wonder that the film tries to generate.

$3500 is the story for me. It's pretty conspicuous putting that thing on anywhere but a plane or at home.

I'm old so yes, but my question looking at the photo is, was that pic taken before or after he became a star? Looks so professional.

A rollercoaster of a screenshot. I still don't know how to feel.

Usually the SEC operates whitelisting mode where they maintain the list of securities which are blessed, but isn't it interesting that here they're taking a blacklisting approach?

The reason is they don't want to provide clarity, like Coinbase and many other haves been asking for. They want leverage to be able to control the narrative and play with centralized exchange rates.

The way to neutralize these silly games is to ignore CEX pricing and instead look to p2p and bespoke trades for the real exchange rates.

Of the many great things about Nostr one of the bast has to be the way says/zaps are almost never compared to CEX fiat value. Zaps live in this space between money and social proof where a new kind of value is arising.

Who knows, maybe this emergent value will grow in strength to overtake the "official" exchange rates. If that's the case it won't take any coordinated action. Like in hyper-inflated economies, sats-value will simply be the way things are.

WoS on ledger doesn't make sense because WoS does all the signing on their servers.

Cold storage is safest, then self-custody wallets, then custodial is riskiest because it comes with counterparty risk.
