Last Notes npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia What a surprise, lol. If this was the plan, anyhow, at least he could have sold at 120k. AFAIK he’s barely above his cost basis npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia I think Europe is not yet prepared. Welfare state too comfy for a majority, still npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Three years out of every four, when I look at the price is like meh. The most boring thing ever. Except when it gets too low, which is great only when you have dry powder. When it gets too high it’s the anxious feeling of not having enough Now it’s boring, as almost always. At least for me. npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Bitcoin is money for enemies but this enemies are not allowed to our conferences npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Let me turn your question around. Should it be a neutral moral action if you killed / let starvate your children or grandparents, because they produce nothing? npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia That’s the problem I have with Ayn Rand’s view of the world (at least as presented in Atlas Shrugged) - one is not (just) valuable because of the value he or she provides to society npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Ni quantum ni nada. Este señor solito se ha vuelto el mayor riesgo para bitcoin. Y el interés que ofrece en sus productos tiene, salvo que todo sea un Ponzi, por definición presión negativa sobre el precio. Al menos podría empezar por una proof of reserves A ver cómo acaba esto… npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia How does the guy dare call that "revenue"? LOL Mike and the all the others "bitcoin companies" that offer yield products will either be: a) Achille's heel that will help the US control the biggest amount of BTC and hence keep their dollar dominance while subyugating the world forever, or b) the largest Ponzi in history, sending us back to the 20s, and not recovering until we're anyhow with dementia at the asylum Everything would have been so fucking simple. Buy. Hodl. Transact. Spend less than you make. Don't touch leverage. Live life. Maybe Bitcoin fixes nothing at a larger scale. Human greed will always stay in the way. npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia No soy ningún experto pero los centros de datos no son “infraestructura “ en el mismo sentido que las vías de tren o carreteras. No tienen que estar conectados unos con otros. Yo me puedo montar un centro de datos aquí , y arruinarme en 4 años porque mi negocio es una mierda, y tu puedes montar un centro de datos más grande en la acera de enfrente y renovarlo en 4 años, porque tu negocio es rentable. El 2029 no puede ser malo. Toca Bull run 😉 npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia You’ve already built quite a reputation in nostr. Maybe it’s time you pivot to long-form articles, either research on specific topics or opinion articles, and put them behind a sats paywall npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia He’s going to Madrid in June, just a 2 hour flight, might be worth it npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Free Marketing for Nostr #nevent1q…mf2y npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia What about true permissionless speech? npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Yet I still mine fiat. As painful as it is to recognize, it was never the tools, but rather mentality npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Those nails = zero credibility. Too much focus on herself. Desire to look like something that is not natural. Means misalignment between herself, how she sees herself, and her nature. npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia If true, probably because of traits like risk taking, always looking for new ways to better provide or better themselves, or underdog role towards establishment. Even though that’s an oversimplification, those three traits would find their opposites in women: risk aversion (the very thing that realizes someone as a woman, motherhood, comes in fact with the possibility of death at birth, so they must be very careful in life and who they mate with), nurturing family or community, and adapting to hierarchy (due to difference in physical strength with men) npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia I see, thanks for pointing that out. npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia How would they ask for ID or freeze funds? My understanding is that this is not possible npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Enhorabuena a los dos. Por el primero de muchos! Ahora empieza la prueba de trabajo :) npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Thank you for posting this. I was think about potentially installing solar panels. Is there a way around that dirty signals? Alternatives you would recommend? npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Vamos!! npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Sin palabras… npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Do I read The Bitcoin leap? Haven’t heard of it yet npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia I thought since some months they already need to collect the information of the wallet owner every time someone makes a withdrawal / transaction? Do you know what will be the difference here? npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia After a miscarriage a couple of months ago, the ultrasound scan confirmed my wife and me that we are expecting our fifth child, and so far baby seems to be doing great 🙏😊 npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia 💯 the real PoW npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia I agree, taking into account todays society. But your second point is only valid for people that don’t live in a Bitcoin standard. Gradually, there are more and more people measuring their wealth on sats And your third point is only valid for KYC, State-compliant transactions. Which is something that’s voluntary. Of course, buying a property with Bitcoin without the tax authorities knowing that will be difficult, but for smaller purchases there’s nothing stopping people from doing it npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Cierto. Confirmo que yo soy uno de los que paga para olvidarse del asunto, especialmente si son de baja cuantía npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Entiendo! Entonces la App estaría entrenada con criterios para recurrir multas de tráfico, o cualquier tipo de multa? Porque tienes razón, yo las de tráfico las pago sin pensar (a fin de cuentas el coste de oportunidad de todo el tiempo dedicado a recurrir una multa de 80€ es alto), pero las multas de Hacienda, especialmente a los autónomos, eso y es otro cantar… npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Me interesa. Por curiosidad: de donde tienes el dato o la experiencia de que el 30-40% de las multas tienen errores que las anulan? Mi experiencia personal , aunque con una muestra pequeña, es la contraria… npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Bitcoin should allow not only sovereign families, but beyond that a cultural renaissance. More: an inflection point in Humanity’s history. Absolutely crazy to think in those terms. But I think that outcome is more likely than Bitcoin being a technology that gets forgotten, or worse, used only by a tiny minority. npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Even from an etymology perspective, aesthetic and ethic are profoundly related. There’s no one without the other. npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Alles gut, kein Thema npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Can you point me to a place (article, podcast or whatever) that has debunked those claims, as you say they have been? All the time I spent so far listening to both sides have let me to lean towards the Knots side. And I have no reputation to maintain, so this was a rational process for me. Happy to be corrected if you can point me in the right direction. npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia To this, I just read today from Arkham that the Winklevoss have allegedly sold 92% of their bitcoin in the recent years, with a 130M sale just recently npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia In cases of publicly known people, sometimes follower count is one of the things that help distinguish among the 37 equal profiles npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Prayers to your grandma and to your son. May he go to Heaven at the end of his life, too npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Correct npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia I’m not sure and, honestly, I don’t care either. I have my bitcoin in cold storage. But why is the Excel file theory crazy? There is no need for any onchain transaction if Coinbase is both the custodian for virtually all BTC sitting in balance sheets of public corporations, and the OTC desk at the same time npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia If honest, most of the buys of public corporations equate, on practical terms, to a change in a column named “ownership” in an Excel file at Coinbase HQ. That would mean that OG’s have been selling BTC worth billions during the last couple of years. Curious as to why. If dishonest, the BTC balance of these corporations keeps increasing because Coinbase is updating the numbers on the Excel file, while pocketing the $$ npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Talks like Larry Fink. Hard to believe he was a hardcore cyberpunk, foundational to Bitcoin npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia 💯 Kratters recent video dissecting Jon Atacks talk at Plan B in El Salvador was so revealing. A must watch npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Happy to hear that. The only thing I’ve been reading lately is Kagi News, pretty happy with it, actually. The article I posted was referenced in a Kagi article npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia I’m a simple man. A happy pleb. Just want to live my life and enjoy it with my wife and kids, while I save in bitcoin and use it for whatever I like in the most sovereign way I’m capable of. But this is really the only thing that bothers me. The plain and malicious changes that Core has done. Removing limits. Removing configuration possibilities to node runners. Changing definitions to adapt to narrative. Making changes because of need of Citrea, a private company that has nothing to do with Bitcoin. Closing debates. I won’t idolize Luke or Mechanic because I don’t know them and I’m sure they have or will fuck up at some point, too. But the non-zero possibility of having an eventual chain split, and having to vote with my family’s money on it with my very limited information makes me rage towards Core. And BTW, the way podcasters and educators like @npub1yn3…mzt0 or @npub16le…ffxj, who I truly respect and owe a lot to, either dismiss the importance of the topic or plainly side with Core, exceeds my understanding Very frustrating this whole situation. npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Hey @npub1vm7…sm7s you live in Cyprus? Stay safe! https://www.politico.eu/article/france-sends-anti-missile-anti-drone-systems-and-a-frigate-to-cyprus/ npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia No. Attention comes from the eyes mainly. Attention is money, so no incentive to change that npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia There’s a saying in Spanish that goes something like: “don’t sell the fur before killing the bear” Though that would be a victory, I have no reason to believe that her successor would not double down on statist verticalization and CBDC etc, that Christina started. Zero social pushback to any of that npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Gracias por la respuesta Arkad Miraré Wise, no tengo. Bisq lo que me pasó hace poco es que la sincronización de la cadena de bloques se hizo mal, se quedó pillado en un bloque, y había que reiniciar no sé qué cosas técnicas Leí hace poco que había una BIP para consolidar las ofertas de compra venta en las diferentes plataformas? De ser así en realidad la diferencia será de UX, porque no de liquidez. Correcto? npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Hasta ahora los DEX que he usado son de onchain. Pero me imagino que en Lightning el proceso de compra es similar a fin de cuentas. Lo que lo hace complicado es la necesidad de la coincidencia temporal entre comprador y vendedor. Es muy jodido (y cuesta mucho tiempo) encontrar a alguien que quiera coger tu oferta, y que justo esté conectado en el mismo momento que tú. Si hay algun DEX, onchain o ser Lightning, que soluciona esto, me cambio de cabeza npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Un update por si te sirve. Acabo de realizar un par de trades en HodlHodl donde me han pedido que mande el dinero a Kenya por M-Pesa desde mi cuenta de Revolut (se puede). No he tenido problemas. Es cierto también que los vendedores tenían un historial muy extenso. npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Need to try that one. In what sense is it better? npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia But but but, Saylor just created the ultimate yield product! npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia What is the #p2p, non-KYC service that is less time-consuming per trade? @npub1sqn…5net has very little liquidity, and the trade limits for new payment methods are absurd In #hodlhodl most people want me to send money to Kenya, and/or they answer like hours later Extremely time consuming, especially if one splits larger amounts in different purchases, not to raise questions from the bank I have not tried @npub1gdf…2ffw and @npub1m0s…40un yet, but I guess they work similarly What is your advice? #asknostr #hispano @npub1yn3…mzt0 @npub12aq…dvgy npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Disingenuous statement, you should know it. There are ways around that, also on the base layer. npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Can you give a bit of context/ advice on your homeschool journey? Really interested in it, but here in Europe it’s super complicated and in some places illegal What resources do you use? Who helps create a rough plan per age? How many kids do you have? Does wife work? Do you take over the teacher role yourselves, or do you coordinate with other families? Sorry for the amount of questions. I’d like a few pointers to assess viability for us and start looking at npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia It’s no coincidence that, etymologically in Latin, “esthetics” has the same root as “ethics” npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia I’m sure my understanding is not complete and I might be wrong, I never claimed otherwise. OK. Code is truth. I would agree to that. What does that say about the Core vs Knots argument? Both are proposing / have done code changes npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia I normally enjoy your posts, but this was intellectually irritating. I didn’t expect reading this after that long post with a lot of PoW behind. Why don’t you care? In my non-expert understanding, under each side of the Core vs Knots argument will Bitcoin potentially develop in rather different directions You, if honest (which I assume and take for granted), must have a 90+% of your assets in Bitcoin, the same as many of us here And you don’t care? Is that because of conviction that a side will win, or because of conviction that the point of the argument and effects of the changes are negligible? npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia It’s not a surprise, after all. From an outside perspective, super interesting to see all these geopolitical shifts happening in front of us npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia IMHO you should start using Maple AI. It is scary how much a black box LLM, property of a for-profit corporation with close ties to governments worldwide, knows about you npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia @npub1z3s…3y64 might be interesting for you npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Yo con que un gobierno redujera permanentemente cada año un 5% sus presupuestos para siempre me conformaría. Eso ya solucionaría muchos problemas. Añadiría dos cosas, puestos a pedir. El que se exceda de lo presupuestado, elecciones automáticas. Y la financiación por deuda prohibida en la constitución. La gente tiene que notar lo que de verdad cuestan las cosas. Si los presupuestos se financian 100% por impuestos, otro gallo cantaría. npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Are you planning to sell paper copies of it? I’d buy it npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Check out Seed Hypermedia npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia I don’t care who’s selling. I’m mad because I’m fiat broke 😭 npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Even though we indeed contribute to fiat's selling pressure in the moment the transaction is done, it's not that we are destroying any fiat currency units. These are still part of the banking system and subject to endless rehypothecation npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Even though we indeed contribute to fiat's selling pressure in the moment the transaction is done, it's not that we are destroying any fiat currency units.

And what’s the aspirin for? npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Thanks! npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia What would a bitcoiner who’s gone down the pharma and natural medicine rabbit hole say to atopic skin and dandruff (probably related to the above)? How to best treat that using natural products? Tallow helps on the skin, but the dryness and itchiness don’t go away. Maybe fasting could help? #asknostr npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Seems mostly artificial: CPI relative under control stock market in ATHs loosening fiscal policy favorable regulation dedollarization Etc. This is what happens when people stop trading the asset and start trading leveraged derivatives that dilute the collateral. npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Source? I’ve lived in Germany for a long time, I don’t believe Berlins data to be true npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia It’s all about getting the socialists reelected in 2027. All corruption cases have blown up any possibility of reelection npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Starting with seeking paper ganes through Bitcoin exposure is a start, though. It was for me. How would I know those were paper gains if I didn’t understand how a credit-based economy and its constant monetary expansion work? For people awake enough, encountering Bitcoin forces a sudden reframing of reality. It will take time, but there is certainly hope #note1e2t…frzl npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia “The guarantee for trust is independence on central bank side”. Let that sick in. What a presumptuous statement to make. Central bankers, bankers and politicians still believe they have the truth and speak for the majority. They will never understand that individuals are free, have agency, Bitcoin is voluntary, and there’s no way to stop anyone from using it. They’ve already lost. npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Value is subjective. I’d rather call them virtues npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia The issue is not the speed, but the acceleration that you make your body go through. If speed is constant, even at a million miles per hour, your body is as chilled as it can be npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia I believe the most common thing is to go through the SoV, More and UoA phases. One can convince some merchants, yes. But for the rest of the people it’s still early: since bitcoin is voluntary, they need to want it first. And for that, they need to see value in it. npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Buenos días I believe Root and Checkmate do some regular analysis on this, but speaking out of memory here npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Thanks! npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Who was the guest? npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia @npub1lnm…rrnt can you please point me to where to read (as unbiased and nuanced as it can get) about: - BIP444 and probability and risks of potential chain split - the role of Ocean in a post BPI444 scenario I’ve been busy with life for a few months and just set up my node with Knots prior to V30 being rolled out and never looked back into this topic since TIA #asknostr npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Broken money, broken incentives, broken society. It just seems too obvious, as if there’s literally a bloody elephant in the room, and people just can’t see it. I feel like a schizophrenic talking to people about why Bitcoin is the solution to the problems they see. npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Two questions pop up: 1. Best resources to further read into this / start practicing? 2. How do you know you’d benefit from this / you run sympathetic on adrenaline, if you are 95+% of the time calm, quiet, grounded and happy? Any quick test to check on “need”? npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia As a Spaniard, I can say that whatever our PM says is absolutely irrelevant in most international circles. And whatever this corrupt shame of a man says, even more so. npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia I was not aware of private micro villages in Germany. Interessant. Schulpflicht kills a little bit this citadel ethos I guess npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia The idea is compelling. But it’s only sustainable if different families of the same kin live there. Putting together a random number of small families (1-2 kids), just because everyone is a bitcoiner won’t work. People will spend there a nice 1 or 2 years and move on npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia In which country is that? npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia World destabilizing is greatly due to fiat existing in the first place, so even if Bitcoin wouldn’t exist, it would keep destabilizing. Hopefully adoption is as smooth as possible, so that a growing part of the population slowly rebalances that destabilization, without unnecessary busts in the middle through empty promises and paper Bitcoin Staying humble stacking sats in cold storage without leverage. This is the only way IMHO npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia How do you calculate entropy? I looked in some websites but somehow the “years to crack the password” that each one had showed great discrepancies (still in the billions) npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia I believe it was Antonio Machado who said it: caminante no hay camino, se hace camino al andar Joan Manuel Serrat put that into a song. Very nice. If you don’t speak Spanish, translating the lyrics might make sense npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Very true, at least for myself. Still, your own self is somewhat already conditioned in that way, so that it becomes quite a frustrating “frame” to break or get out of Probably the reason why every generation needs to do stuff different than the prior generation, indefinitely npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia True. But general opsec awareness and measures should be the default, and people are way to biased to overexposing themselves in centralized socials, and there is an entire generation that never knew anonymity (and the rest have forgotten). Speaking about a friend… npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Yes, but only out of love and admiration, not out of pity. npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia It seems like an appropriate disclaimer 😅 I believe parenthood somehow completes one’s self, as in giving its true purpose. When you have kids, remember two pieces of advice of a random Nostr guy: 1, be generous, and have as many kids as you can. There is no greater joy and no greater ROI in life fulfillment. Low time preference always pays off. Al carajo with all those little, close-minded people that have two kids and no more because “it’s enough”. Since when just this love is enough? And 2, your job as a parent is to raise kids so that they are successful in leaving your nest. So, your number one priority, and the person who will remain after the kids leave, is your spouse. Treat your husband like when you were still dating even when you have kids. There are few sure ways of ruining a marriage. Forgetting about the spouse and living solely for the kids is one of them. PS. This applies for husbands exactly in the same way, but you mentioned you’re a wife npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia I had exactly the same question but forgot to #asknostr npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Here in Spain you have public kindergartens, but also private ones Among the private ones there are plenty of different options where one could pick from Unfortunately they are always overbooked, at least in my experience npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia I hope you could already find a new kindergarten for your son npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia Identifying one’s self with a political party (out of just two!) is even more retarded All the merch being worn in public is somewhat embarrassing In Europe we have even more retarded and more corrupt politicians, but since that’s kind of known, nobody who’s not affiliated to a party would defend any party to the extreme of being a walking ad npub1dgtlzlh72vndt8kuguq2q8uk0732qd92930ywtp7g74cd6l6h2tsqc9f3k FranciscoDAnconia As long as non-KYC, I honestly don’t care about the technology behind. It should just work. Of course, if custodial, I’ll never leave large amounts there
