A nostr client for sharing free online streams of: movies, shows, live tv, etc. 100% would use this and want this. Might make it this week.
BTC / GLD below the 400 week MA. Make of it what you will.


I'm sure most of you know this, but it's shocking how many people don't.
A screenshot of a text conversation is not a "receipt". It can be easily forged and is not proof of anything.
For my coffee people out there, this figure has helped me figure out why my coffee taste off for almost a decade!


Um? $4 TRILLION in value wiped out? 

One crypto guy I still follow because he’s been scary accurate for years: Benjamin Cowen.
How long until someone releases a malicious AI whose goal is to spread by any means possible? It finds useful ways earn and sell bitcoin to buy additional AI space or infiltrate spaces to replicate itself. Are we that far off from that reality?
An interesting philosophical question:
If I give an AI assistant some bitcoin and tell it to make stuff happen, at what point am I responsible if it decides to sell the bitcoin?
If my AI assistant makes Bitcoin on its own and “I” never touch it, at what point am I responsible for its capital gains / trades?
Bear markets... are for building.. 🫠

I don't think people realize the monumental value being obliterated. The market cap of gold lost $2.5 trillion in an hour!


"Just wait until..."
My wife and I have been hearing this negative sentiment towards the future ever since we started dating.
"Just wait until you're married 5 years", "Just wait until you have kids", "Just wait until they're toddlers", "Oh you're doing RV life? Just wait until you're boxed in together 24/7"
Guess what? My wife and I have not only survived all of these phases of life, but thrived. Our marriage has gotten happier with more trust established. Maybe it's not the phase of life that contributes to success or failure, but the people involved? 🤯
Rant over.
What do you use for your personal laptop and personal phone? I'm contemplating switching.
This morning, my grandma died and I lost ~0.2 bitcoin. I feel devastated and embarrassed.
My grandma was old and lived a good life. She was a follower of Jesus. She was in a lot of pain and I'm glad she found relief. The hard part is watching my family grieve.
With the bitcoin loss, I only have myself to blame. Someone got a hold of my my lightning admin macaroon.
They closed the existing channels and swept the funds to their bitcoin address. I'll list the attacker's addresses below if anyone is interested. Although my systems were meticulously locked down, I wasn't as careful with passing around my admin macaroon between systems / different computers. It shouldn't have been an admin macaroon I was using in the first place -- another reckless mistake. I also didn't have enough monitoring in place. One silver lining is I happened to sweep quite a bit of funds out of my lightning node about a month ago. It would have been closer to 0.4 bitcoin had I not.
I had quite a few services that used the admin macaroon: BTCPay, a cashu mint, my website, etc.
I'm so sorry to anyone who had any amount of bitcoin with my mint. I will try to make amends, just reach out to me.
This is my fault and I only have myself to blame. Not just for my own losses, but for any losses by those who held bitcoin in my mint.
I'm not sure when I'll be ready to spin up my lightning node / cashu mint again.
