Coinbase is being forced to explore offshore options. US people should learn self-custody ASAP.

Yup, well said. Even enemies are incentivized to work together. It's a beautiful thing.

I just read another progressive take on #bitcoin (The Bitcoin Culture War Won't Win Mass Adoption) on Bitcoin Magazine. The author argues bitcoin culture needs to be more inclusive.

Perhaps the author doesn't understand what permissionless really means. No one is stopping you from using bitcoin however you want. If you want bitcoin to reach a different audience, build something that appeals to that audience. Start your own Bitcoin podcast if you think current podcasters don't align with your values. There are no walled gardens here.

Permissionless means you don't need to appeal to authority. Start building. #plebchain

The nonstop talk of recession makes it tempting, but I'm not selling. But if there is a sudden plunge, I'm going to wish I had sold a little to buy more when there's max fear. I guess I'll just auction a kidney if that happens.

I never imagined they would play this dirty. They will do anything to protect the censorship-industrial complex.

It's early days; nostr developers are already exceeding my expectations. The pace of innovation here is mind-blowing.

Looks like stained glass. Beautiful.

I like Proton's approach of building an entire suite of tools that are encrypted. That makes it easier for people migrating from Google, Apple, etc.

This is a curious post. Most people who discuss trolling argue for de-anonymizing accounts. I follow a lot of reputable nyms and I support their reasons for remaining anonymous.

Probably net negative, as humans seem to thrive when they have a sense of purpose.

Yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of it's still possible to get lucky. But you're right, it's a complete waste of energy.

Good analogy.

(Weird that I didn't see any of your new posts on Iris, but they appear in Amethyst. They share at least a few relays. 🤷‍♂️)

The government wastes resources on the regular, so why not? 🤣

This is a nice resource for newbies! Wish I had seen it earlier.

Still sorta in disbelief about how strongly some people feel about likes.

Why did I never see a grass roots campaign about toggling off likes on other social media platforms if people care so much about this topic? I know they don't have #zaps but it's the same debate; people could be forced to reply instead of pushing the like button.

Just thinking out loud. I support having the option to choose. Just wondering why it became an issue on 4/20. ✌

I sometimes wonder if the government is running a massive project to search as many as they can. Not just to get bitcoin keys, but that would be a nice perk.
