Christmas tree 🎄 up.

Kids happy.

I stopped developing nsecbunker because it had horrible centralizing tendencies which caught me off guard; I launched it as a POC but it started taking off in a way that would have been bad for nostr would it have continue to scale like that.

We are now getting a FROST-based bunker that solves the completely custodial, completely ruggable setup in favor of a collaborative-custody of private keys. The difference between a Coinbase and an Unchained or Casa: signers assist in getting you keys but they can't unilaterally sign on your behalf.

For the user it *looks* the same, it's as frictionless as Bluesky where the user can choose to ignore all key material, but in the back there is no one single party with access to the entire key which is a massive difference in terms of sovereignty.

Good morning!

Every day you show up, you’re planting seeds for your future self to harvest. Even the small, consistent efforts compound over time, building something greater than you can see right now. Stay patient, stay committed — your future self will thank you.

Yes you are correct partially however, you can’t live in a Bitcoin. Thus on a Bitcoin standard you either use Bitcoin to buy a house or you continually pay out Bitcoin to pay your rent. Either way you will have to exchange Bitcoin for a roof over your head.

I honestly believe a mortgage will no longer be a viable option thus do you buy or rent becomes the only question. I see a stability value in buying as I believe many people will.

Agreed that houses will no longer serve as an investment except for scarce land value. Is residential land scarce with a declining population? Arguably not however something like ocean/river/lake frontage is still likely to be sought after.

Once Bitcoin has monetised and realestate demonetised I believe people will exchange Bitcoin for the utility value of family home vs renting.

Just like people buy a car (depreciating asset) vs using an Uber.

Hit me up if you want to stress test your idea. Rising tide floating all boats, and whatnot. Happy to soundboard if useful.

Does anyone know of a way to connect a wordpress website to nostr?

Ie Post articles on your website that automatically populate on Nostr feeds

Or maybe you need a way to plug in a Nostr feed to a website?

Who is the best person to do a pod for regular people on why Nostr is so important? I just finished an interview and the guy would love to have a well-informed Nostrich on it that can break down things in simple terms.

Could go from 100% BTC holdings to

to 100% BTC + 40% Real Estate with 10-20% debt held on the BTC and 70%-80% debt on the real estate held.

That’s a 140% post bull market hard asset portfolio to weather a bear cycle.

- Keep holding your btc

- Borrow 50%-60% of the Btc value.

- Buy Real Estate with cash discount.

- Refi real estate to 70% (or 80% if it cashflows).

- Repay mortgage proceeds to btc loan.

- Ride into bear market asset heavy with safe debt margins on autopilot.

Risks? Gotchas? Benefits? What do you see?

What products do you have in mind?

Jake, you are the Mighty Zapper from Down Under!

I just woke up to a whole dollar! Usually I just look at satoshis and don't bother calculating, but even I can do that calc now.

I just read your post the other week about updating your wife on down days on financial stuff.

Does she know you're manage your wallets with such swagger?

Reminds me of eating out once with my cousin and both reached for our wallets at the same time to pay the bill. we share a birthday week, so according to the Chinese calendar we both like to pay.

He won the battle before I could even get started. Something about a younger, more successful,handsome red-haired little cousin cowed me right into the corner.

Just a goofy post to ask, we are at 100k so are you planning to adjust your default zaps .

Bought Primal Premium 💪

It's good to have free things, but you get what you pay for...

I was having trouble with connections to the free relays, and thought it would be good to support Primal anyway.

Will be interesting to see how my Nostr experience improves!

As Bitcoin approaches $100k, remember this:

It has been orders of magnitude more difficult to bootstrap from 0 to 0.1M than it will be to move from 0.1M to 1M.

It's remarkable we are here at all; but here we are.
