Asian markets now either know more than we do about an ETF, or are being coaxed into getting rekt. My sats are in cold storage. So pass the popcorn.

Yeah, can’t pay 22+% fee to consolidate those 100k Samurai Whirlpooled sats. They’re orphaned. Good luck going Forward Samurai!

If degens would actually own up and post hot, original porn to the Bitcoin blockchain, we’d all have a Merry New Year. All new information technologies were subsidized by porn.

I don’t lose sleep over ETF’s, they will happen. I lose sleep over whether 70+year old American politicians have been blackmailed into scorching the Earth because they can’t stop Bitcoin. Because that is inarguably the Business Model.

Spoiler Alert: The “Left” will eventually merge with the “Right”, and the “Right” with the “Left”. This is how our situation always resolves. We know this deep inside.

@jb55 Damus won’t let me upload photos from local drive on iPad, fyi. Or at least is so unintuitive that I couldn’t figure out after 5 minutes of trying. I can access & select a photo, but don’t have any indication what to do from there. Needs a “Upload” button or something, imo.

Fair enough. This is why I appreciate Nostr. I hear you and will take your comment to memory. Cheers! View quoted note →

Amazing interview w/ Bret Weinstein on Tucker Carlson, highly recommend. It ends on a remarkable note of hope which every Bitcoiner can intimately understand. Bret says that the Sociopaths steering our world made a huge mistake during Covid. They forced all the best and the brightest, the most capable and competent, out of their Systems - and in doing so created a “dream team” of resistance to lead Humanity forward. And needless to say, this resistance is Decentralized, so its extremely resilient. https://rumble.com/v45cot3-bret-weinstein-exposes-the-world-health-organizations-dark-agenda.html

Asking again: A few months ago I used this service to enable Zaps on Nostr, and it works great for sending, but somebody else is getting the Zaps sent to me… I’m assuming now that that’s the devs intent, to take my sats, so I’m about to drop it. Can anyone please offer me a better method for Zapping on Damus via Apple/iPad? One where I can both send and receive? Thx in advance!

Widespread and massive “Excess Deaths” throughout the Western world is the biggest story They’re trying to hide from you rn. https://rumble.com/v45fsc0-mainstream-media-finally-covers-excess-deaths.html

About 3 months ago I adopted #Nostrscript to enable Zaps on Damus. Since then, I’ve been able to send Zaps, but Zaps sent to me go…somewhere else… Can anyone offer a little coaching? @jb55

Happy Birthday Bitcoin! 15 years ago the Chancellor was on the brink of a second bailout for banks. 4 years ago, the US drone-striked Iranian General Soleimani, who was leading a coalition of Middle-Eastern forces to encircle Israel in a defensive front. Today marked the opening of a memorial museum to Soleimani…in which dozens were just killed in explosive-attacks on that commemoration ceremony. https://rumble.com/v44vi3x-dozens-killed-in-two-explosions-during-iranian-general-commemoration-ceremo.html

Only polling on Damus: Last year I trialed Whirlpool turning 1mill sats into 9 different 100k sat utxos (cuz fees borked the last one). Now, I don’t want to combine those sats, as that would render useless the forward-privacy I paid for. Yet I don’t want ANY 100k sat-lots going forward, because of fear they’ll be orphaned by fees. So looking for suggestions (& Damus doesn’t allow for polls). 1) Combine them and accept the loss of privacy? 2) Spend them quickly, and accept my Whirlpool experience was just a fad? 3) Leave them and hope for lower fees in the future?

I’ve been doing a deep dive on tax-loss selling, and could post a longer post but don’t feel confident or ambitious enough post about Investment Industry taxation. But long-story short: The last week into the new year looked a lot like pushing Bitcoin price down before ETF approvals. Because Jan 1 is HUGE in the Investment world. Every firm measures assets vs Jan 1. So - if my thesis is true - the fact Bitcoin couldn’t be pushed far lower is the elephant in the 2024 room. ETF fudders are going to have to provably short the news or gtfo!

Important US Long-Term Capital Gain Tax Rules for Bitcoiners. (long-term is defined as > 1 year) Please watch (& maybe save). No matter how diamond-hands you are, this is important to know. https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx1WwXwZxAHZhGo9xGOGgBnvOCa3Ri7ZYe?si=0qlswo7XCB2epsma

I’m asking for old-man handouts here… When Apple shut-off Zaps, I searched and found a popular workaround. Which was great, and added a Zap button to posts. And I could zap it. The problem I’m too stupid to figure out is…I have received zaps and have no idea where they are going. In other words: I setup an iOS workaround for Zaps, but forgot what I did, and can’t seem to just duckduckgo what I did originally, and people have sent me Zaps and I don’t know where the wallet is that’s receiving them… Sorry to be an grandpa burden. I run 2 nodes, and a handful of miners, and yet I CAN’T FIGURE OUT WHERE MY ZAPS ARE GOING!

If Bitcoin closed the year at 42069…. The Simulation is telling us it’s all-caps game eff-ing on for 2024.
