Gm Nostr! Have a beautiful middle of the week. 😉 😊

Every “it’s too complicated” in self-custody used to be said about email, websites and online banking. Complicated is just early.😉 😊

Gm Nostr. Have a nice day! 😉 😊

Gm Nostr. Happy new week... I hope everyone has a great Monday.

When I opened my first Lightning channel, I learned a slogan nobody prints on a T-shirt: not your liquidity, not your payments. To receive, someone has to lock their bitcoin in a channel toward you. And they charge for it. My first reaction was irritation. Then I looked at what I was paying for. Their coins sit idle so I can be paid. That is not a toll. It is interest. Nobody forces them to offer it, nobody forces me to buy it. And if I don't like the price, I leave, and my coins come with me. An intermediary you can leave is not a gatekeeper. The one kind of renting I won't defend: custodial wallets. That isn't renting liquidity. That's renting your keys. Rent the lightning. Keep the keys.

Gm Nostr, I hope everyone is having a great day. 😉 😊

Gm Nostr! Happy Monday. I hope everyone is having a great beggining of the week. 😉 😊

Gm Nostr... Happy Saturday! Enjoy the weekend. You earn it. 😉 😊

Gm Nostr! We are one day away from the weekend and 2 days away from Halloween. I hope everyone has a nice day. 😉 😊

Stablecoins are fiat with better UX. Bitcoin is an exit, not an upgrade.

Coffee in hand, nowhere to rush. Patience is a strategy. ☕

Moved my feeds off my phone today and spun up Miniflux on my home server 🏠 RSS is a lot like Nostr: you pick who you follow, not an algorithm. No ads, no tampered timeline, and your subscriptions are yours. Open protocols keep winning. 🧡

Sometimes the darkness bring the best of the things...

Gm Nostr! I hope everyone has a nice day today! TGIF!😁 🥳

A full node doesn't mine. It doesn't earn. It doesn't speculate. It refuses invalid blocks, inflated supply and rule changes nobody agreed to. There is no headquarters of the rules. Only a network of people who check.

New essay on Mizuta's Playground: Don't Trust, Run It Every Bitcoiner says "don't trust, verify." Very few actually do it. This month I wiped my plug-and-play node and rebuilt it by hand: Bitcoin Core, Electrum server, mempool, Lightning over Tor. Friction included. What I learned: a full node doesn't mine, earn or speculate. It refuses. Invalid blocks, inflated supply, rule changes nobody agreed to. There is no headquarters of the rules. Only a network of people who check.
