The biggest problem with new #Bitcoin wallets is getting existing bitcoiners to switch.

Why should someone bother if their current solution works fine? They're just introducing risk.

I enjoy trying new wallets, but rarely will I make a permanent switch.

OK so, first try with nostr:

I'm using "gossip" (github.com/mikedilger/gossip) because it's open source, and it's a program that runs on your computer. Which is the idea of this whole decentralization thing right?

But... I don't know if anyone is following me, I can't find anything about that. I posted a few days ago and never saw any replies, but then looked on iris.to and there *were* a bunch of replies.

Does anyone know if there are docs about how to use gossip? Using a common word for the name of the software makes it pretty search-resistant, and in the docs/ folder of the repo there's not really anything about how to use it.

Maybe it's some setting like "fetch replies to notes you posted" that I need to enable. And also should probably be enabled by default. Because otherwise can't really talk to people on this :)

Voting is probably rigged, and my voice is meaningless on the national level.

But I'll reluctantly vote Trump, for Ross Ulbricht's chance at freedom. He needs to come home.

😂😂 where is the video?

If I had 99% of my net worth in coinbase, I too would be calling you all paranoid crypto anarchists.

imagine accumulating that much and losing it all by trusting third parties… there’s a high probability this will happen. It has happened before and it will happen again. nostr:note19gl5cgufxrtsq5wjau7qm3snu4k8d7py85u585rrtepvq8zpclvs0fcx9a

The idolization of Michael Saylor by bitcoiners is one of the grossest cases of hero worship I've ever seen in Bitcoin.

His latest statements on self custody & "crypto anarchists" are atrocious.

At least wages kept up with inflation these last few years

If they only taught stoicism in schools.

Quality pig roast with some high quality people. Saturdays don’t get much better.
