Last Notes
Idk...
At the moment I’m reading *The End of Eternity* by Isaac Asimov, in Italian, of course.
If anyone would like to join in reading it in the English version, I’ll add them to the group.
I’m trying out Zapbook.
A social reading app built on Nostr, where you can read ePub books alongside other people in groups of 1 to 100, share your progress and reach milestones that can be rewarded with sats as encouragement.
Curious to see how it works. ⚡📚

A day spent applying a protective coat and white acrylic paint.
Three paintings finished and others yet to be started.
Art in a state of constant change.

With Bitcoin, you never stop learning.

Don’t ask for xaps, just as you wouldn’t ask for zaps, if you have nothing to offer.
Anyone who has received tips in #Bitcoin or #Monero has helped to make Nostr – even if only in a small way – a better place.
It's more of a concept/community experiment for Nostr!
While standard zaps use Bitcoin Lightning, 'xaps' represent the idea of sending private, untraceable Monero tips.
People want it mainly for maximum privacy, untraceable metadata, and censorship resistance.

I've never thought of yoga as a performance, but more as a form of meditation, alone or in a group. You're very good, though.
That really means a lot to me. And yes, you should post one of your paintings someday, I’d genuinely love to see it and tell you what I think.
And I’d definitely say yes to another cappuccino somewhere. Some conversations are better had in person. 😊
I’m glad you appreciate what Monero represents too. I think there’s something meaningful about having the freedom to transact privately, and I’m happy to share that perspective with people who understand it.
Thank you very much 🙏
Many of my artworks are my own memories and emotions.
But I try to paint them in such a way that they become yours too.
Every now and then, I like to switch off.
Because you don’t have to be interesting every single day.
You might think that, to be loved, you always have to have the right energy, make people laugh, say the right thing, and sort everything out.
Every now and then, you’re allowed to be tired too.
You might not know what to say, want to be on your own, sleep a bit longer, or have a bit of time to yourself.
Feeling tired isn’t your fault.
And looking after yourself doesn’t mean stopping giving to others or helping them.
It just means that, amongst all the people you look after, you’re included too.
And that’s fine.
If you can't purchase one of my paintings right now but would still like to support my art, in addition to sats, you can also send me small donations in Monero.
Thank you for your support.

The fact that I accept Bitcoin and, lately, Monero as payment for my original paintings is not a matter of ideology or purism.
I know perfectly well that the State already requires me to declare my income even when I’m paid in crypto.
It’s just that, for now, my meager earnings are insignificant enough to fly under the radar of the tax authorities’ scythe.
I would probably accept USDT as well if I didn’t have to answer to the State for the eight or nine paintings I sell in a year.
But for me, the point is something else: to accumulate sats autonomously, with as little bureaucratic friction as possible, in anticipation of a time when I might stop doing a fiat job and devote myself exclusively to painting.
That’s why, at this point, I don’t see any coins other than #Bitcoin and #Monero that can actually help me achieve that goal.
Personally, I still prefer Bitcoin, but I’m following Monero with great interest; in fact, my latest painting was purchased in Monero after many months during which nobody had been buying in Bitcoin, but above all because I see that it’s being used by some people I consider to be intelligent.
Imagine being a Bitcoin influencer today who earns money through sponsorships, and the only thing you can promote is Bitcoin on-chain, because all the other ancillary services are failing and don’t pay you to be sponsored.

You are a special human being, thank you for being here. 🙏🫂🎨
I really have no desire to be rich just so I can buy an iPhone or a Ferrari.
I want to be rich so that I can be in control of my own time and paint at 3 o’clock on a random Monday afternoon, without having to keep an eye on the clock.
To sit in front of a canvas and work on it for hours, simply because I feel like it.
To have the time to pop into a café and relax for an hour, watching the rain fall.
To be able to cook at home, at my own pace, using fresh ingredients.
To be able to spend money on my family and friends without constantly worrying about the budget.
That’s my idea of a rich life.
Not having more things.
Having more time for the things that really matter.
I don’t know if artificial intelligence will kill us all within this decade.
But just in case, I’ve always started every request to ChatGPT, Claude e Lumo with ‘please’ and ended every reply with ‘thank you’.
In my opinion, this guy is more bitcoiner than many so-called bitcoiners.
Respect.

I sent you a small zap of 0.002 XMR as a token of gratitude 🙏
Have you noticed that I have a couple of my paintings for sale on xmrbazar? 😎
I fear that Ark and Spark are the next targets
I hope that one day all these encrypted messages will be made public because Blockstream isn't coming across very well.
When I suffered losses from Coinos and Mutiny Wallet—due to both bugs and critical vulnerabilities—the developers reimbursed me. The amounts were negligible, but they didn’t just apologize; they covered the costs out of their own pockets.
-Controversial post-
All the various Bitcoin services affected by critical vulnerabilities are apologizing, but none are offering refunds.
Apologies are worthless, which is why it's so easy to make them.

Stai paragonando una sidechain ad una blockchain, vado per logica, quindi presumo di no.
Ma attendi persone più esperte di me a risponderti.

Dark Wisp is not a Spark wallet, it's just one of the possibilities.
If you think about it, the seaside is lovely when there are no people, the mountains are lovely when there are no people, eating out is lovely when there are no people, visiting a museum is lovely when there are no people – everything is lovely when there are no people.
Except for social media.
