Last Notes npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons How I look when I HODL during downturns --VS-- the 3 days every cycle when price goes up https://m.primal.net/QZnK.png npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Aren't half of these people from the NY agreement? 🤡 npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Caleb is right. The founding fathers should have gone back to the UK to agitate for democracy there, they could have reached way more people. The Americas are almost empty anyways, the only people here don't even speak English. You don't even have roads! npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Each year in Bitcoin feels like 10, because these 20-40 years are laying the monetary foundation for the next 1000 years. The density and speed of events is breathtaking. Cypherpunks will be remembered on the same level as the Christian Apostles, or the US founding fathers. Noderunning will become a sacred duty, charged with carrying the fire of sovereignty into the future. Satoshi gave money back to the people. Let's keep it. https://m.primal.net/PEXw.png npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Except Bitcoiners. We love being invisible. The alternative is to have someone $50 wrench attack you. No, thank you very much. I will keep looking homeless with my goodwill outfit. https://image.nostr.build/7d28abf8bcf99771a1d6836f584bac3cd4787179eeeb40c9b791275e20de5bbe.png npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Purpose. This is probably one of the highest concentrations of purpose driven people who see the big picture and have awoken to the Matrix, that exists anywhere online. A digital Zion, so to speak. npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Always, and I mean always, buy the dips. The one last night was sweet, but not as sweet as this one, just 5 months ago. The greater the pain, the sweeter the deal. #nevent1q…wn3w npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Sakabato for the win https://m.primal.net/OOms.png npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Old school leftists (anti-Iraq war, anti Washington consensus/IMF/WTO, anti-free trade agreements, pro Occupy Wall street), have tried for decades to end USAID, calling it a tool of imperialism. The fact it's Trump/Musk who are finally doing it, was not on my bingo card. https://image.nostr.build/4f516fdc5eb8b0bf3229bbe1b108ee6c03fd65ee57f57d3a7e42c3f2556947e7.png npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons It's literally The Matrix. When you point out everyone is in a prison they can't see or smell, most don't even want to know, much less get out. Some will actually fight you. npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Which one of you just solo mined a block?~~~!!!!!!!!! https://m.primal.net/OHAf.png npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons You could never dislike Alby, you can only love it more. For example, when BOLT12 is added. npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons I was wondering if other Bitcoiners are into Earthships! They are amazing indeed. I am taking their online course now since I can't leave the fiat mine yet. Planning to go volunteer for a few builds this summer and when Bitcoin hits a certain level, build one for myself. npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Same here. I want to build one of those Earthships, and mine Bitcoin with off-grid solar. npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons I have a few acquaintances who play boardgames, so I custom made a monopoly board with Bitcoin and inflation, then made then play it. Surprisingly, they still talk to me. 🤣🤣 https://image.nostr.build/6f5bcf80c867efbfb88960ed386f11ab44dfa1715f004fd146311cbad569860d.jpg npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Nice npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Orange Game theory #63: Rivals of the U.S. will realize, or they already do, that their best chance of toppling the US dollar system under which they toil and struggle, is by aiding Bitcoin adoption. This is a hard pill to swallow, because like many who strive to overcome their masters, they tend to aspire to be like them, to walk like them, to dominate like them. But Bitcoin, their best, and perhaps only chance at succeeding, represents in effect a renunciation of the fiat priviledge to oppress, dominate, steal from, and otherwise sack the people of the world. What will be their choice? npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Michael Saylor is just another annoying billionaire who thinks he knows Bitcoin better than the plebs, even better than Satoshi. He made some money by accessing the money printer and buying Butcoin with that, and now thinks he is the king of the world. Well, time will tell, but my bet is that his arrogance will lead to a fiery downfall, much like Roger Ver. And MSTR is the trap of this cycle, much like ICOs and yield products were before. Why do I think that? Because someone who thinks of themselves as above the network and its consensus, will only manage to slowly cut himself off until he finally forks himself out of Bitcoin. Saylor should remember that before he does the same. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/takes/michael-saylor-doesnt-understand-bitcoin npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons lol, this is comical from the perspective of someone who has lived through the death of a fiat currency, twice. Americans think the dollar will never die. To that I say: Sure, maybe the USD is truly immortal, unlike every other global reserve currency before. But imagine waking up one day and they printed so much money that your $120 million USD can barely buy you bread (aka soft default). Oh, and you can't buy Bitcoin either because they have blocked off the exits in anticipation of this. Alternatively, imagine waking up one day and seeing everyone's bank accounts frozen, the funds are then confiscated in a "bail in." Your $120 million USD is now theirs. After much public outcry and burning and looting, they give you back your money in a new currency they just printed, worth 10% of your original purchasing power. Meanwhile, you have no Bitcoin because you sold it all! Moral of the story, fiat is as meaningless as toilet paper. Good luck living your "stress free" life in fiat land! I know what I will be doing. npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Lightning is so dead, I sent 3.5 millions sats in a single transaction on my first try! What is YOUR #lightningisdead story? https://m.primal.net/MzJP.png npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons #hola https://m.primal.net/Mvan.png #note1hfz…jgzq npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons #hola https://m.primal.net/Mvan.png npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Welcome welcome. Start9 is awesome, been using it for a few months now and it went without a hitch. Forums are super responsive too, active community. LFG. npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Ever since my uncle passed I have been in a rut myself. At least I find myself in good company. Thank you for sharing. Reading it makes me feel like the internet of old, back in the 90s, more real, less filters. Talking about ruts, I always feel they are like Bitcoin bear markets. We know at some point it should let up, and past experiences of positive turns help with enduring things, but there is no guarantee. And no one wants to hear about ruts, just like most don't want to hear about Bitcoin. Coincidence? 😅 npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons It's a one way street for me. If it keeps dipping, I i keep buying. Hope the fools keep selling. Ammo is locked and loaded. https://image.nostr.build/85a5a7eec3e4548cd81041c5da8bdcd725c3b32af5aed8bbf7a492a13cfca751.jpg npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons What if China purposefully "banned" mining to decentralize the hash rate, because they want #Bitcoin to succeed? No reserve currency can escape Triffin's dilemma, China probably knows this from watching the US decay, and would not want to repeat this mistake. https://image.nostr.build/e1b17a74277eea663290468153ddbd8852efc1f3455176f64a48dcd07ada0920.jpg https://image.nostr.build/c7dd97ab2dc354017b6fc438efb233f56d754e7d89c4de86c638aaf9be4b4862.jpg npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons @npub195u…5eqg Hey hey, saw your post on X. Just saying hi from this bastion of freedom. Let's hope these walls hold against the incoming siege. https://m.primal.net/KLdf.png npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons ✊🏼 that's the cypherpunk ethos. I wish the mainstage was used to get more people to run full nodes. But oh well. At least they are using lightning and btcpay servers to process payments. npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons I hope this whole thing in Nashville is not a Faustian deal. From Xapo bank to Blackrock and its finance minions, now Trump and Musk. These are not our friends, they are the enemy. We will do well to remember that, or Bitcoin will be relegated to the same fate as the internet. npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons So, how am I supposed to use @npub1lnp…yurp without Telegram? It might be spyware, but right now it's undeniably useful unfortunately. Is there a way to port lnp2pbot to Keet, or some other p2p app? npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Man, they suck and really need to go down. Really hope the miners that Jack is working on are good. Will try to buy other brand ASICs npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Will the USD collapse before they manage to kill/co-opt #Bitcoin? It's a battle of attrition, and I have never felt better about the fact so much of the BTC supply is in the hands of hardened, hodling, node-running zealots. npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons This is awesome, can't wait to read and spread around! npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons So, is Nostr still alive? Not been getting views on most of recent posts. npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Thanks! Glad u enjoyed it! npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Read my latest short story: "The Last Act: A Message From Across The Galactic Timechain." https://habla.news/u/[email protected] /1691729689833 https://cdn.nostr.build/i/2b356d8b6e0f2bcf18e3e4c61936f7b53e12f625b95c5e2843f76231085a64bc.jpg npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons We all do our part 🙌 npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Can anyone see this message? npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Definitely automated. I remember visiting China 10 years or so ago and having posts just vanish on Wechat. Never thought this would happen in the US, and yet here we are. npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Indeed. Everyday the censorship becomes more blatant. It's a fight to the death. npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Twitter suspended my account for tweeting: "bye bye @Trezor, go fork yourself." Forced me to delete the tweet and wait 12 hours. Well, FUCK Twitter. Thank Satoshi for Nostr. https://i.imgur.com/rzuupxj.png npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons yeah, total shit scam. npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Dollar slipping 👀👀 https://www.theinteldrop.org/2023/04/03/france-brings-de-dollarization-to-europe-by-trading-in-yuan/ npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons I haven't read it yet, but on the left, it is THE most reputable, established and referenced work for money, banking and credit. On my reading list too, but I had been putting it off because I have a general feeling it misses the point. Looking forward to reading about your engagement with it. npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons 🤣 LMAO. The brilliant #[0] hits the🎯 again. "The financial system in the US, and for most of the rest of the world for that matter, can basically be thought of as an Excel spreadsheet managed by the Federal Reserve. That’s all it really is." https://www.lynalden.com/broke-federal-reserve/ npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Basically, the treasury, which already runs a fiscal deficit, to pay the rising interest on its bonds and other debts, needs to issue more bonds, which, if they are bought by the FED, is basically money printing. Correct? npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons lol, I am all out of my budgeted sats! npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Yeah, I cloned the follow list of a few other people. But my original list is gone :( npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons My following list has been nuked! It shows only 2 for some reason. Anyone knows why, or how to fix it? 🆘 npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons That makes sense. Quite a bit of upkeep if you have 15-20+ channels! npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Definitely can cut both ways. Cryptography unlocked Bitcoin, and now it is also unlocking a decentralized social media layer. Could be just as disrupting. npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Will be a gamechanger npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Bienvenida! npub1v2j9qp8sl8av3klnxny29pnkle8cmucc9m7unwrzauaehvhl0rzsrdgaq7 BTC_Commons Heatbit is great, but it uses nicehash. This is better: https://www.cryptocloaks.com/the-future-of-space-heaters-s9-bitcoin-asic/ Basically, buy an S9 for $125, add another $150-300 depending on which cases and fans you add (stock works as well), and you get same hashrate, same heating. Plus, you get to hash to any pool of your choosing.
