Iām considering buying a shipcoin called UNH, it trades on NYSE.
Good deal or āfalling knifeā?
Derek knows everything and what he doesnāt know is somebody who can show you. Welcome.

When you yield to opposition, they gain more than a victoryāthey learn that you can be made to yield.
Peter Todd is too stupid to be Satoshi.
The guy knows how to do everything, but doesnāt know what to do.
Nerd2ninja has a very serious disease. It causes him to think he is more clever than he really is. I think we should see if we can have the next zapathon donate toward his treatment costs.

This is a long postā¦Iām not sure why I am doing it. Iām reaching out to you, fellow nostrich.
Pre-nostr I was a part of an online menās forum, whose full membership and posting privileges had to be earned by intelligent, reasoned posts (and essentially scored by member reactions.). It was a haven of free thought and open discussion for me, especially through the Covidian times. It kept me sane. It helped me find bitcoin (the bitcoin thread went back to 2013).
Almost all the old posters from the bitcoin thread are gone. Me and a core group of guys are the ones orange pilling now, and debating the skeptics. One of the guys from the forum, who Iāve known for about 4 years, is from South Africa, and has recently decided to leave everything behind and seek asylum in the USA with his wife and 3 kids. He has a brother here, married to a Colombian woman, who had promised to take them in until he could get established, rug pull him on basically everything because the Colombian wife refuses to let them stay with them (afraid they will make their new baby sick or some nonsense.)
I feel like I know him, even though he is just an online friend. He was going down the bitcoin rabbit hole. I was able to set up a PayPal ādonationā so he could buy bitcoin from me, until PayPal shut down the donation loophole and fees became ridiculous š
OK getting to the meat of the matterā¦in the USA, you need a carā¦unless you live in a very dense urban hellscape, not having a car is not an option. He reached out to me to see if I knew anyone selling a car under $2k. Thatās a tall order for anything remotely decent, but I have a beater car that I donāt really need or drive much (usually I just take the motorcycle to work). I offered it to him. He wants to pay me rent to use it, but I told him no, use it until you get on your feet. I asked him to give me a list of things that could make life more livable for them in the current situation, and put some stuff in a box (household items, books and a game for his kids). I feel the urge to help him. His wife and 3 kids ranging from 4 to 10 years old are all crammed into a hotel room with 2 beds.
I have a lot of respect for him, risking everything and leaving everything to give his family a better life. My own wife however, thinks Iām insane. We had a huge fight about it. She is afraid that he is a scammer, or a sex trafficker, that will come to our house and kidnap our daughter. She thinks that I could be robbed or killed when I bring the car to him.
I think she is being irrational, and I donāt understand her point of view. She thinks I am putting our family in danger and that I care more about strangers than my own family.
So, I am not looking for validation or anything nostr fam, I just had to vent, because like in 2020, Iām questioning if I am the 1 sane person in the asylum, or the 1 crazy among the sane. Feel free to tell me either way.
My wife is a city girl and Iām a country boy. Iām used to helping strangers. I feel I have failed somehow as a husband or as a man, if my wife doesnāt trust my judgement though. I was 26 when we met, and I was certainly not as confident or much of a man back then.
Anyway, thanks for reading. nostr:npub1yrku0t9270e64nflm4twva34ffcexfw6qtdht7kpnjckc2kmdwlqc3stj4 nostr:nprofile1qqsw9xwdz6f28yengrqhq4m4ff38rr2y74lxvdgu4mhlxu3z73e3u3gpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uq3wamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3ww46xsctjdvhxxmmd9ues9t2m nostr:nprofile1qqsqdzwltpr635ehdzfd52tz947qlhq77x2c7j7yguwep9n258k2nuspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszxmhwden5te0wa5x2ct59e5xzurs096xzan9wfhzucm09urt7vms nostr:nprofile1qqsdgvut0sesvjgulh65j9x3554cp2t9dp0hxcf3r6h9704078fr5kcprpmhxue69uhkummnv3exjan99eshqup0wfjkcctemgrnlp nostr:nprofile1qqs0mu3dc2rer2jv3a8jghp0kurc5ku3ge23u27vcukm32qxghrycyqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skcrtye7c
Love you guys - Choke
1. Itās not your responsibility to save anyone.
2. It is your responsibility to be your true self. That may include helping those you want to help for whatever deep seated reasons you may have. I wonāt question the origins of those, but you should.
3. Your wife chose 26 year old you for reasons. Figure them out, and that may explain the behavior. What did you offer? Why did she need it?
Women appreciate power. You must respect your will to power. Sometimes overcoming a womanās request, and competently changing the world around you can have the counterintuitive effective of gained respect from a female partner. You trivialized her fear through success. How long has it been since you have demonstrated your power to her? To keep her resources secured, she will worry when she believes your reach exceeds your grasp.
I donāt know her. But I know most women do not respect a man that they can overpower. This may be an opportunity to plan carefully and demonstrate that you have the will and the power to do it. Should your wife ever need you to do that for her, itās best to have kept your strength exercised.
P.S.
Let him pay you. It will demonstrate to him and your wife that you have boundaries. Take it away when he canāt. You can always give the money back later in secret if you want. Just an idea.
Wishing you the best in whatever path you choose.
? You donāt have to use it.
It takes a civil war to split a country in two. The fight we have now might lead to client splits.
Bear market in everything once in a while
Would be nice to see more clients competing. Maybe even some that might offer so much that a person would pay to buy/use it.

Nostronaut,
Iāll leave it at this. You are paying back created money to a group that can take unlimited ālossesā when you pay a credit card.
There is math for this decision. Everyone should decide for themselves what to do for their own peace. It is responsible to do what you are able to do to help yourself.
If you want help with the Math of this situation, let me know. I have experience.

Setting someone up on strike.
How does receiving via username, lightning, and on chain differ within the app?
I didnāt even realize strike had on-chain as an option. He said it was buggy on his iPhone16. He was one of the only person I sent via username.
