For a number of years, the EU has been nothing but a pathetic and traitorous bunch of weak, compliance-crazed, pompous suits deserving nothing but disdain. We are a long way from Europe's glory days. https://fountain.fm/episode/rs2Cnetv6z5XY7mBlSld

The biggest mental block for people when it comes to spending their sats is they think it has to come out of their savings stack or that "it'll be worth more in the future", but in reality its literally using the fiat you were gonna spend on something, use it to buy bitcoin first and then spend it. More often than not, you even get discounts for paying in bitcoin, on top of the no-kyc benefits. Bitcoin is money, use it.

Never considered Kagi before but I will make the switch this weekend. Looking at the website, Kagi is pure signal, no bullshit, full of privacy features, and payable in bitcoin. This is the way. https://fountain.fm/episode/faRPzOfmYkvCVqnNavny

Shoutout to Ashigaru wallet @1:56:14! Really glad that question was asked, I was dying to hear the Samourai dev's take. https://fountain.fm/episode/xvVLHhBQ7P40CdSNu9tM

Mindboggling travesty of justice from beginning to end. The silver lining @1:01:47 is that Bill and Kyonne's case is not setting a legal precedent. Sign the petition https://billandkeonne.org #freesamourai https://fountain.fm/episode/xvVLHhBQ7P40CdSNu9tM

Discovered the nostr:nprofile1qqsxhcu0333a7ldlsndha39xumammrgemj3mnq8045v9shzx7p9jd7gppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qv4vyr yesterday and it is a gem of interoperability to follow and interact with accounts across decentralised social platforms (Nostr, Mastodon, ActivityPub ...). Amazing work nostr:nprofile1qqsqgc0uhmxycvm5gwvn944c7yfxnnxm0nyh8tt62zhrvtd3xkj8fhgprdmhxue69uhkwmr9v9ek7mnpw3hhytnyv4mz7un9d3shjqg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxg6t5w3hjuur4vggxkjsl ! All you have to do to is add the following to your Nostr relays under settings -> Network -> Add a relay -> wss://relay.ditto.pub/ Then go to https://mostr.pub/ and enter a mastodon account you wish to follow (ex: Mastodon@mastodon.social), and the site will return an npub you can follow in Nostr

People are worried about far-right indoctrination on X, but let me tell you, Instagram is a thousand times worse lol

Privacy-wise, the two single biggest mistakes newcomers make, is 1. buying their first coins on a kyc exvhange, and 2. buying their hardware wallet with a credit card and having it shipped to their home address https://fountain.fm/episode/LDzAbhAdpr4CORq1LsXC
