I am an atheist but I have to admit that #Jerusalem has quite strong vibe. Such an important place for so many people. Place which formed human societies for thousands of yearsโฆ

Finally vacation time!! ๐ด๐ Well deserved rest from shitty Czech weather ๐๐ #TelAviv #Israel

My own diving set! ๐ Few pieces are still missing, but I should get there over coming two weeks. Cannot wait to try it out there - Croatia then Egypt.

Relax in the middle of nowhere in shitty weather โฆ ๐๐

My new hobby! I am really looking forward to my first dive on open water. So far I performed just training dives in a swimming pool (<6m). But this levitation feeling in a water is just amazing!

#NotionAI has just launched publicly! This is currently the best implementation of #ChatGPT I know. The free version gets you 20 requests per day, while the paid version ($10/month) will get you unlimited requests and priority access to new features - a no-brainer!
Yesterday I received first zap! Thank you! ๐
It is actually interesting feeling. Combination of decentralized, uncensored social media protocol and free, lightning fast payment layer - all in absence of central authority. It feels like we are at the beginning of something big, something importantโฆ
The content quality on #nostr is really good. I hope it will stay that way! No algos, no advertising and 0 noise ๐๐ช
Product wise, Twitter died years ago - 0 innovation. I do not understand how it can be surviving for so long? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
And zaps are still available only for test-flight!!!
In regions where the internet is slow or unstable, using Bitcoinโs Lightning Network with self-custodial wallets can be a challenge.
That's why I did a review of the best Bitcoin Lightning wallets in rural #Zimbabwe for @BitcoinMagazine
I hear and read statements saying that newbies need convenient, easy-to-use tools, otherwise they would be overwhelmed and wonโt use Bitcoin. I think this is wrong.
People who are being onboarded onto custodial services are harder to convince to step up their game toward financial sovereignty and start using non-custodial tools. There is a big resistance to change habits.
If a person starts using a custodial wallet, they very, very often believe that they are using Bitcoin already. They will tell you that they never faced any problems and that they, therefore, donโt see a need to change their setup.
As a Bitcoin educator, it is my first duty to teach people about self custody, why it is important and to make them aware of the risks they are taking. They need to understand the difference between custodial and non-custodial services.
Only then do I present different tools and make them familiar with the pros and cons of each one. Afterwards, they need to decide for themselves which route they want to take.
That is the only way that people wonโt consider me responsible for any losses they might incur and itโs the only way that they will understand that Bitcoin is all about ownership.
I was unsure, though, if Phoenix or Breez would work in a setting with bad internet connectivity. Thatโs why I set out to do a test in the area of Great Zimbabwe, about 300 kilometers south of the Zimbabwean capital of Harare.
In my review I included @Machankura8333 @MuunWallet @WalletofSatoshi @Breez_tech @ZeusLN @BlueWalletio @PhoenixWallet @ln_zap
I tested @Breez_tech, @ZeusLN and @BlueWalletio on an iPhone and @PhoenixWallet and @ln_zap on an Android device.
For the results please read my article ๐๐ป

Great article! I am using Phoenix as non custodial option and Wallet of Satoshi for receiving payments because I do not have to be online for that. I then rebalance time to time between those so I have maximum in self-custody - on Phoenix
I am traveling on February 27th to #Israel - just to relax and for vacation. I heard only the best about this country. Any tips what to see and visit? Any strong local #bitcoin communities? ๐ช๐ง
I would love to believe it. Bust most probably common folk just did not arrived yet ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐
I have same issue time to time. I would consider Damus as app in alpha/beta stage right now. I lot of issues as of now. I believe it will improve over time.
Absolutely. I never cared what market thinks ๐ My price floor is millions of USD per bitcoin. Bitcoin represents such a massive shift of so many paradigms that it cannot cost less. It is pure nonsense!
This made my day ๐

How this works? When you will go online again, will you pull latest notes from some other relays?
Definitely best work environment! ๐

Benefits of ChatGPT - and its amazing integrations like Notion AI - will greatly exceed its downsides ๐
