When you reply to me I see that the entire first part before the colon if filled with 0's, is that normal?
How much of the "unstaked" Eth, if if every gets unlocked, will end up in Bitcoin?
Drink that milkshake.

Good morning,
Might I ask you about your stance on Proof of Stake (More validation power when having more assets, and thus gaining more assets)?
Especially in combination with premining (Majority of assets already mined and used without public engagement and accessibility).
Linux should embrace ₿itcoin if it wants to succeed. I believe it is a good strategy to educate those at the Linux community about the security model, decentralization, freedom and inclusion properties of ₿itcoin.
We should start with the community at LBRY, for example Linux experiment, Distro Tube, AlphaNerd etc. Once they see the power of ₿itcoin and its freedom loving properties, it will spread rapidly and give ₿itcoin another source of usage.
Ofcourse we need to warn them too about the dangers that are coming, and how ₿itcoin combined with Linux and Git are one of the most powerful open source tools ever made.
But, Linux is still partially backed by big corporate companies who have ofcourse ties with those that oppose ₿itcoin. If they hold strong, we as Bitcoin will see a Linux Civil War with the same equivalent as the blocksize wars, between the corporations and the community of Linux. However, like with ₿itcoin, the community of Linux is powerful and are no slaves. We should support them as much as we can in such a battle. The Linux community will find one of the most powerful open source communities on its side.
Linux is a massive open source project with freedom from operating system. Freedom of choice. No spyware. No tricks. Embedded in its nature.
₿itcoin is a massive open source project with the same values, the most secure computing network ever deployed and unstoppable.
Linux needs ₿ and together they will form an unstoppable bond. Community in total power.
For some who might not be able to load the bitcoin logo that I put in front of every Bitcoin mention, ₿=B itcoin logo
Lets share the power of freedom λinux and ₿itcoin.
How big are the odds of getting a qqqqq9 public key?
So you could get any alias you want, as long as you can sign it with your private key?
I figured it out in probably 40 hours. I wasnt much exposed to bitcoin, nobody talked about it. But when I started to hear 2 people I saw daily talk about bitcoin, I listened and figured out it had promises for one of them. The other one only focused on making money. He lost half of his money I guess. Funny.
I decided that when I had the time I would learn about it, especially when the first one told me Bitcoin was really important to learn. I asked him why, he couldnt explain. I had to read it first. He suggested me a book but I didnt do anything with it. Had no time. But one year later I encountered a video from 3blue1brown and he explained it to me so clearly.
At that point I was curious. I knew I couldnt and probably wont understand alot of the underlying mechanics, but I atleast knew why it was so secure. I started reading alot articles (no podcast as those are generally to slow for me.) And I watched simple short animated videos. After this I tought I knew the basics enough to dive into how to use it. Probably 12 hours worth of studying? I found out about hardware wallets and such. I had already created a wallet a year prior to know how it went. I didnt understand much at the time but it was easy to resume. The scaling problems were something that I was weary of. Both sides of the blockwar had some valid points. I knew about lightning but saw articles about how that went to centralization. My turning point was when reading an article explaining economic incentives to create mega nodes. The author didnt saw a problem as he tought everybody would check those mega nodes. I knew that wasnt true, and at the time I also figured out that bitcoin cash and sv were not possible to run at my laptop. Later I saw an article that explained how much blocksize was needed to facilitate transaction compared to visa. Gigabytes per minute. Incredible unsustainable, and I didnt know why the big blockers didnt mention this issue.
For me its clear, not many things can scale up to any situation or desire. Gold cant, silver cant, banking systems cant, etc. So its normal that btc cant too. 2nd layer is the only solution. I was still weary about the centralization features of Lightning, as those seem legit. However, its currently the only way.
So now my main problems are miner cencorship (forced by state) and blockchain size growth. Monero solved the anonimity problem, so I believe bitcoin will too find a way to do something like this. The scaling problem is the only real problem that I really do believe can doom Bitcoin if we wont find a solution to this. However, blockchain tech is young, so innovation is everywhere.
Maybe my learning time was 60 hours, now that I look back. But I dont count echo chambers as learning Haha.
In case I had the best, I dont know how to use lightning on nostr...
Bitcoin is like money that is up when it is up. You dont have to be scared to lose it, others will help protect you. You can use it to give it to your friend, and nobody can stop you but yourself.
When more friends want bitcoin, you need to divide your bitcoin in small pieces. Everyone gets smaller pieces and not more, so you will have more bitcoin over time compared to new friends, because they find it harder to get the same amount. This is why your little stack of bitcoins will be more worth then your friends.
Sadly that I cant search yet
With great knowledge comes great power, with great power comes great responsibility.
How about Nostr as decentralized unified push implementation? Push notifications via nostr.
Uhm no, sorry, but I meant your public "user name", which is qqqq9:andmore
Yeah, they go strong. But I wanna know what they are saying though.
