What is your favorite bitcoin on boarding tool? I'm making a cheat sheet for my first bitcoin meetup this Saturday.

#bitcoin #btc #bitcoinmeetup

International knife day! #edc #SparksSharps #rule9 #alwayscarryaknife #SAK #BuckKnives #Benchmade #BarkRiverKnives #CaseKnives

Do yourself a solid and run a node.

Bonus points if you run something like Knots or Core.

Can you feel the love tonight

addiction thinking is hard to break.

that’s why the first step in the 12 step program is admitting you’ve got a problem 🤷

I have an American wife who sent me to get 🍋 and I came back with 🍋‍🟩 and I swear I did it correctly

I can relate ...

🍋‍🟩 this is a lemon

🍋 this does not exist

🍋‍🟩 > 🍋 for absolutely everything

ALL IN ON NOSTR.

NO REGRETS. ONLY HOPE.

That time Francis Foster zinged me on my own podcast…

Thanks - and for the zap as well

It’s maddening that when you bring up Ayn Rand today, people still regard you as a nutcase.

Being a life-long truth seeker (it’s how I’ve always been wired) occasionally got me in trouble with a few teachers and even college professors in my younger days. 😂

But, over time, this thirst also led me to:

- become a devout follower of Jesus Christ

- the Bitcoin network

- and now, #nostr

And for these things, I am extremely thankful.

Other than these few things, I’m aggressively pragmatic.

How about you?

Are you a truth-seeker? If so, where has it led you?

Has anything been more destructive to the planet and to humanity than a full embrace of Keynesian economics by the world’s nation state governments over the past 80+ years?

It is possible

Just eat steak, eggs, butter, raw milk, raw honey, fruit and homemade sourdough

Was just talking with my fiancee about this to remove them as much as possible before having kids. But dang, this sucks...

At this point it looks like the only way to live and give a better life with my family will necessitate some real wealth and simply my own cows in the garden combined with hunting.

There goes another step - one at a time...

#foodstr

Instead of frequently doing/joining Twitter Spaces, I'm thinking of firing up #Nostr Nests going forward.

A good idea or nah?

Is there significant interest here on #nostr for macro, investing and (obviously) Bitcoin-related discussions?

I'd love to build and share ideas more on #nostr rather than on X.

looks like the recent generation of foldable phones has gotten close to mature enough for daily use

-less issues with the screen inside

-battery life decent

-software optimized

-hardware looking nice

I think I'll probably be a buyer for the next edition

clocked in a out 9.5 hours of sleep but feeling wiped from the weekend and yesterday

need some strong coffee this morning #coffeechain

GOOD MORNING, STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS. 🫡

Bro nooooo

No oats please

Processed carbs = sugar

Read “deep nutrition” “stay of my operating table” and “fiat food”

Mandibles

That is all

I don't really know what to think of it as I don't know what's going on. To date, Canada has been pretty good to bitcoiners. We have lots of onramps, including kyc free options, and people living on other jurisdictions aren't as fortunate.

Hopefully things stay the way they are and don't change too much.

It affords an American a means of protection and self defense.

If anything I think the right to bear arms is more important against a government with professional soldiers than a military force composed of ordinary citizens.

Also the Second Amendment was not solely about the existence of a well-regulated militia; it also emphasized the right of the people to keep and bear arms for the exact situation the US is about to face. This right is essential for individual self-defense, protection against tyranny, and the preservation of freedom.

While it's true that other Western democracies have different approaches to gun control, i suppose it’s important to consider the unique characteristics of each country's history, culture, and legal system. What works in one country may not necessarily work in another, although I see many axe attacks, knife attacks, acid attacks … in other countries so I’m not sure they are “much safer” without guns.

I should also add that the presence of the Second Amendment has not led to the failure of the United States as a civilized democracy. Instead, it reflects a fundamental belief in the importance of individual rights and liberties, which are central to the fabric of American society.

The Second Amendment is extremely relevant today, it serves as a safeguard against government overreach and ensures that individuals have the means to protect themselves and their loved ones in an increasingly uncertain world.

It is possible that the US government understands shit is falling apart and before it’s fully out of control they encourage chemical foods, toxic water, and hella pharmaceuticals … all in hopes that it disrupts homes, causes major chemical imbalances and leads to school shootings, then greater fears unlocked and boom Americans beg to have their guns taken away (this is the only way to remove guns because if they just say, “hey we want to remove guns” people will ask why) just in time for shit to hit the fan and then when the citizens realize what’s happening they can not revolt.

do we need more education around bitcoin forks, consensus, the role of nodes, etc.?

Bitcoin education has gotten so much better but maybe we’re a bit underinvested in education around how the network itself works? very important. we the market determine its future

i’ve collected a bunch of tweets over the last week regarding open source devs killing bitcoin. going to spend this Mailbag Monday episode dispelling what seems to be a lot of misunderstanding.

curious if yall have any thoughts or requests before i record

How can you verify that bitcoin resides in that address?

Without running a node, you cannot confirm it and you are trusting someone else to provide you the info.
