To own your privacy, own the tools you use.

Fair warning, thats only if you spend $10/month for thier membership. Otherwise you can get percents back on gift cards and small (5-20) sats kickbacks in the form of what they call spins.

Having the ongoing expectation of perfection is a control mechanism. We teach people they must be perfect to lead or to be an "expert". Make people scared to lead and anyone can lead them.

I often think of that 80 year old man and wonder of he'll live in a world where the average income is 2 million a year but it's 1500 bucks for a synthetic meat McDonald's burger.

I want so much for my extended family to get it, but I don't think they are. ita not really a out bitcoin per se, but wanting to be free. Bitcoin happens to be the tool that gets the job done.

Would you not get something smart by using multiple smaller utxos in different addresses? I would tend to be cheaper than the 3% coinjoin fee, I think. Satoshi suggested a different address for each transaction as I recall.

Every time your money inflates, it us robbing the value that fathers and mothers have set aside for thier future and that of their children. If you aren't mad for your own sake, will you be mad for the sake of robbing money you set aside for your children's future?

I'm mad that money I set aside so I will not be reliant on the state or my family in my old age is disappearing. We wonder why the elderly so often live below the poverty rate. I no longer co sider old men's tales about hing once being cheaper as quaint or old fashioned.

I'm a reformed altcoiner. I've been burned more than the California forests and every so often look at the micro amounts I'll never recover as a memento.

Ghee is butter, just more steps involved.

Somewhere out there is a happy miner

I make it a habit to listen to several btc podcasts weekly. I'm concerned about getting lost in the btc echo chamber. Feeling a lack of active initiatives and really knowledge expanding stuff. Time to rotate some old stuff out and new in.

Ive not heard of this"Security budget problem" what even is the claim? So long as nodes and miners run, we have security.

Man, you have been so productive in projects. Mad props.

I let my subscription to the orange pill app lapse. Sorry, I'm not seeing any value in it yet. I'm not the kind of person to reach out to a stranger just to say "btc is pretty awesome, Isn't it?". I don't need confirmation and don't see enough events listed it make it worth it either.

Lol, telling a mint not to replicate. Try and stop it.

Can anyone confirm if Lincoln said this? It's so easy to get caught in keeping up either the Jones' or finding the next shiny toy that a gpod reminder at the right time can change things.

Nostr/btc "problems": I was send 2 payments in my lightning wallet today. No notes attached. I've not found who but thank you to whoever that was.

I had an Idea for a pin/ badge rhat would show an addreess and create a new one from xpub on button press. Have you seen something like that before?
