This strange obsession with #Bitcoin ETF is comical. Everyone is fixated on the fiat price, they can't stop talking about it.

Individual liberty? Unchained State? International trade? Self custody of the apex private property? "Nah, bring the blackrock boot closer so we can all kiss it, the french way".

Adoption is definitely the correct metric.

But adoption requires headlines.

The vast majority of the public is too distracted by the problems this society keeps putting in front of them to take a moment to breathe and see the bigger issue.

Blackrock will be headlines. And every positive headline is a moment of potential awakening.

I see the #bitcoin high fees have sparked #muun hate again...

People, learn the tools you are using.

Muun is great for what it is designed for.

Which isn't being a LN wallet.

Find a cheaper/easier way to move funs from LN to chain, or to pay a LN invoice from chain.

That is what Muun is for.

When people warn against "address reuse" is that about not sending *to* the same address twice, sending *from* the same address twice, or both? (Though I think most of our wallets today only send from an address once, creating a new *change* address.)

Is it bad opsec to send *to* the same address twice? Maybe a dumb question...

ĐaꝞꭵꞧuꞩ.₿ 🟠 2y ago

Sending to the same address you control twice.

We are still so early. There are Bitcoin miners out there who don’t self-custody their pool earnings or treasury holdings. Not your keys…

Thankfully it’s not the company I work for, but it still puts the Fear of God in me. #bitcoin #bitcoinmining #bitcorn🌽

Where does it go then? They mine it, have the cleanest BTC, and then give it to someone else?? Wtf?

My distrust of the pharmaceutical industry is at peak levels. All tiers of industry have been corrupted by the infinite growth narrative of fiat inflationism.

Move. Eat whole and organic foods. Fuck processed sugars. Lo and behold, you have health.

I did not know that it is a swap wallet few days ago. Why put LN on their wallet if it is not a real LN implementation? Your right "None"

ĐaꝞꭵꞧuꞩ.₿ 🟠 2y ago

It is very useful to pay LN with chain funds or vice versa.

Not so much as a pure spending wallet.

Self-custody money = #bitcoin

Self-custody speech = #nostr

Self-custody education = #homeschool

ĐaꝞꭵꞧuꞩ.₿ 🟠 2y ago

We actually need to do better with education.

Homeschooling still centralises power over others.

The internet is a much better example of self custodied decentralized education.

Musk’s Twitter/X has recently lost a lot of big advertisers after some seeming endorsements that Musk made on some anti-Semitic posts.

Do I think Musk is anti-Semitic? No. I just think he is a cuck, frankly.

Like, he will say one thing if the wind is blowing that direction, and then say the other thing if the wind starts to blow otherwise.

He cares what Xi Jinping thinks which is pretty consistent, and cares about the political tide in the US which blows back and forth. His recent anti-Semitic confirmations were likely just an instance of him leaning too quickly in one way, and being caught out on it. He tried to be vague but it didn’t work. And then he backpedaled.

Meanwhile, Musk also actively caters to leaders of countries that request (and receive) the most content takedown requests on Twitter/X, like Modi and Erdogan, as long as they are potential markets for SpaceX and Tesla. Under the leadership of Musk, Twitter/X statistically agrees to government takedown requests for content at a much higher rate than the company previously did. It’s just mostly outside of the US now, so all of our domestic discourse is about freedom.

Musk previously catered culturally more to woke folks, like in 2021 when he said Tesla would resume accepting bitcoin payments only when bitcoin was over 50% “clean”. He needed those ESG vibes back then. But now that the woke trend turned into a based trend, he shifted to ride more on that one instead. He posts way less about the environment and way more about socio-cultural issues now.

Musk is likely not dumb/small enough to be personally against any particular ethnicity or religion of people as a group. He clearly thinks bigger and more pragmatically than that.

Instead, he is just trying to stick his finger in the air, measure the winds, and lean in any momentum direction culturally.

Meanwhile the large corporate advertisers like Apple and Disney advertisers who dropped Twitter/X for advertising are also doing similar. They are pulling back in the heat of the moment to gauge public perception, and then will move forward slowly based on polls and research. It’s the same vibe as when they put up rainbow flags on their domestic Twitter/X accounts but then of course don’t dare do the same for their Middle East accounts. Region by region polling and brand management. Never genuine, always calculated.
