Consistently doing the right things WILL yield results in time. Keep at it, and don’t quit.

The moment when you want to quit the most is the moment you need to make the decision to remain consistent the most. On the other side of that decision, success awaits!

This is the secret behind “stacking sats”, “dollar cost averaging”, “compound interest”, “having a low time preference”, and “taking it one step at a time”.

The secrets are simple, but most people won’t implement them because it requires discipline. Just because it’s simple doesn’t mean it’s easy. It is, however, worth it.

This resistance to change feature of Bitcoin is similar to (and an ideological extension of) the method of changing the US Constitution via amendments. To change the Constitution is hard and requires much larger consensus than simply passing a law. This is what gives it such longevity and what will continue to propel Bitcoin into its second decade and beyond.

Fair. But it could open things up to onboarding more people

Thoughts on this, Nostriches?

The concept of “diversifying” is simply decentralizing your wealth.

I’m not exactly a fan of TikTok, but this news reminds me of how grateful I am for Nostr, social media that virtually cannot be banned.

Bitbox02 seems like a good choice from what I’m seeing. I like the price of Blockstream Jade. How user friendly are they?

So Ledger is now out of the question given their new scandal. Question for anyone both privacy-minded and a Bitcoin enthusiast: what cold storage wallet do you use?

Saw this on Stacker News earlier today: https://twitter.com/sethforprivacy/status/1658544658761277447?s=46&t=6hUuGd6rYW1Dn8fE5hUlHQ

I’m very concerned. What ever happened to Jeeves, and who do I ask to find out? #Jokestr

Sure. I’d argue that this kind of mentality is possible even now, but humanity in general is too immature when it comes to technology to think that way, partially due to the nature of “mainstream social media”. Nostr could fix even this!

I’m with you on some degree, though I do think there’s something to be said for “thinking before you post”. No one is infallible, that’s for sure. The convenience of the edit button helps with fixing mistakes of whatever kind. But no edit button forces you to be extremely careful with what you say.

Also- if politicians were to ever adopt Nostr like they did with Twitter (perhaps by necessity once we hit critical mass), it would either force them to be careful with what they say or keep them from backtracking on what they DID say. Ultimately, it’s about accountability for words and thought, in my opinion.

In many respects, growing Nostr is like growing a platform for one to build their mind.

Not being able to run away from opinions unlike your own hardens your mind in a way that exposure to a variety of books similarly did after the invention of the printing press and the variety of information spread by the internet before censorship really started to kick in.

Investment is time and energy allocation.

The two most important things to invest in are your mind (positive growth mindset and skills) and health. This is investing in your present.

All other investments- be it real estate, gold & silver, gardens, Bitcoin, prepping supplies, stocks, et al - are investments in your future.

Focus on the present, then your future becomes clear.

Posts on Nostr are so meta.

Posts on Meta are so…stupid.

#grownostr

In the early days of the internet, people would often caution others to “watch what you post online because it can never be truly deleted”.

Although this has never stopped being true, more and more people have become careless with what they post, oftentimes not even thinking or proofreading before they post. After all, there was always the fail-safe of the delete button, edit button, report button, and block button.

Nostr fixes this.

With the permanency of notes, being that they are decentralized across relays, one not only gains freedom of speech but is also forced into a world where you have to think before you speak/post.

Alternatively, one continues sloppy thinking, leaving crumbs for the rodents of the internet to munch on for eternity.

Hear me out: Fountain app, but for music where you send sats directly to artists
