Does he know about the Santa rally?

I think most creditor attorney's wouldn't think to ask carefully about crypto holdings in self custody during a bankruptcy proceeding or other debt collection operation. This is going to change though. Typically you subpoena all places where money tends to be, increasingly that includes crypto custodians. But asking carefully about crypto in self custody is conspiciously absent. Admitted, in Bankruptcy the debtor should disclose all such assets but some try to hide things. But the bar of bankruptcy creditor lawyers is aged and they have no clue what's going on. Don't lie on your bankruptcy forms but if you're a creditor, remind your lawyer to seek the private keys.

Bang bang.

Crazy you can buy the entire block reward in 2050 for 4,500 dollars

Fuck it let’s give it a try. But like… not for my family.

That would lead to moral hazard obviously. Mine plan is sufficiently convoluted to create the illusion of stability.

Timeline being the biggest variable.

Family company making fresh original product, big international corp. hands family big fat check of fiat with lots of zeros. Corporation replaces fresh part with cheap seed oils and high fructose corn syrup and expands around the world using big money marketing. Rinse, repeat and do all over the world to get what we have to today in most grocery stores

This is all “grocery” stores in 2025 AD

jokes aside i want to raise a few horses

that is true, good point

we don't have a fico score here, works different here

Yep, we call mutes -> blocks.

If you were going to shut down your own lightning node and just use a third party service for lightning/zaps for nostr, what would you / do you use? I'm thinking of retiring my alby hub for a bit until I learn more about LND and launch some bigger channels.

Bet. Downloading now.

i've ran a lightning node for 5 years and i've never had an issue or major problem. i think lightning is easy.

i also have on-boarded thousands of users that are not technical like me. i've on-boarded people in various locations around the world.

my uses cases and comfort levels are not the same as the other 8 billion people on the planet. if that were the case, we'd have 8 billion nostr users and 8 billion bitcoiners.

we need solutions that work for humanity, not just a few technical people or early adopters.

and because of my real world use cases, i know that on-boarding to lightning is a huge cluster fuck.

Haha

Was quoted 14k for my side yard project. No thanks. I’ll do the work.

Grass ripped out, inserted bark, planted Red Baron Peach tree and much more to come. Just do the work yourself. This is not my trade, but I’ll figure it out.

You’re not being conditioned by the medium. The medium is neutral. That’s revolutionary.

I see, my bad. English is hard sometimes. Appreciate you brethren.

I do. But there’s a big difference between reading and writing. Both have their place.

It’s therapeutic and productive to get an idea out of your head and into text too.

Distilling and refining ideas makes me understand my own thoughts, beliefs and values with more clarity and depth. It’s a place to hone.

I'm announcing an announcement of an upcoming expose of (redacted)base™. After some research and digging I've found some financial irregularities that the public might be interested in.

More to come...

Or use simplex

Its definitely this. Having your identity linked to your messaging metadata is huge for state intelligence surveillance. Combine this with the fact that iOS and Google Play push notifications are sent their servers in plaintext, you then have a good setup to passively collect huge amounts of user data when they think they're being private. It doesn't help also that Signals database relies on the phones "secure" element for encryption. Placing trust in Apple's and Google's proprietary software to keep your messaging private.

These insecurities are addressed in the Molly client (android hard fork of the Signal client) on a FOSS ROM like GrapheneOS. It does not use Google push notifications and allows database encryption with a passphrase. Then using smspool.net you can get non KYC SMS codes paid with monero or lightning.

Even with all this though, nearly everyone else you communicate with will have the compromising defaults. This is what they want.

Most people still don’t understand they’re holding direct control over distribution. Your REPOST is you exercising the most powerful curation tool in an attention economy.

Here, power over attention lives with individuals making reputational stakes.

Took my homeschooled son for his basketball physical today. Predictably, the physician immediately pivoted to pushing multiple vaccines. When I declined, he pressed for justification.

My response was direct: “I don’t trust your institution or the regulatory framework governing it.” He launched into rehearsed statistics, the same talking points designed to manufacture consent through appeals to authority rather than genuine informed consent.

I cut through the theater: “He’s my child, not yours.”

The conversation ended there. No coercion, no further attempts at manipulation. Just acceptance of parental authority as it should be

Ok men. Their code is opensource and for sure people will be able to use their tech to create different federations if they start to deny transactions.
