Definitely not a good look nostr:npub1t8a7uumfmam38kal4xaakzyjccht4y5jxfs4cmlj0p768pxtwu8skh56yu

I’ll continue using my VPN and we’ll just have to part ways for a while until you sort this out.

Cheers is a hilarious show. I hope they never reboot it.

“neverfork land” I like that 🤘

FYI nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg I’m using a BTC server to host my Lightning address. And clearly it’s able to generate invoices and pay them from other clients through profile and notes alike.

Looks like I’m able to zap the note directly through nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955

So that worked even i zapped your profile directly. Not sure why I’m unable to zap a post. What client are you using?

This is what I get when I try. Trying to zap ⚡️ you from Primal on iOS. Zapping the note directly.

Reached a major milestone last night. Not going into details but I’m mutha fucking happy about it and proud of myself.

❤️ to all of you

my opinions don’t change if i learn what happened in some random convo. Bitcoin doesn’t care.

we need a healthy open source Bitcoin community. period. no matter what. Bitcoin won’t succeed without one. even if we want to ossify, Bitcoin Core 26.0 won’t last us centuries to come. open source projects need open source devs and an open source community.

we should focus on no strings attached funding for devs. the community has worked tirelessly to set this up with things like OpenSats, Brink, HRF, Chaincode, etc. to enable that effortlessly for us and the devs.

we as Bitcoiners should want devs to build whatever they think is best. engineers are the artists of the digital world. the smartest most forward thinkers in the room. we want to enable them. they aren’t ever a threat, don’t mistaken them for one. why? because the only way Bitcoin can change is if we, the network, run their code. let them create. we the network, the people, decide what gets adopted.

if someone builds something terrible, we won’t run it. that’s happened many times before. see Segwit2x, BitcoinCash, etc.

often times engineers strike moments of brilliance in Bitcoin. a very famous example is Segwit and how we got Lightning. nobody thought Segwit was possible technically. was never clear if or when we’d ever get Lightning. a few open source engineers named Luke and Eric found a brilliant solution. we adopted it. we now have Lightning being enabled by Coinbase. let engineers create art. fund and support them.

wanna ossify Bitcoin? run Core 26 forever and never update. no problem. don’t wanna fund devs? no problem. we don’t need to agree on these things. however, if you want the entire network to agree with you, you need to go out and advocate for consensus around your vision. that’s just how bitcoin works. the network moves as one, not from a meeting or self elected group.

bitcoin is a distributed network. it progresses through distributed consensus. the network will act in its own best interest, not based on anything else. fund the best engineers to protect and advance the one chance we have at reinventing money for humanity. adopt what we want, reject what we don’t. if there’s anything we need to work on every cycle with new entrants is public discourse and how to arrive at consensus as a distributed network.

also, everyone should breathe. it’s all love and gonna be ok. Bitcoin was designed to not care and last through anything 🙂

For whatever reason, it isn't included.

You can find the chart here: https://inflationchart.com/life-in-btc/?show_stock=0&show_adjuster=0&logarithmic=1

The cost of living for BTC has a high of 461.8k BTC/yr at the high on the left, and 2.08 BTC/yr as of November of 2023 on the right.

Thank you 🤝
