Is it ethical for me to use an ebt card and take advantage of the free fiat for groceries? I have plenty of savings in sats but in fiat world I am flat broke.

Inflation is just a fancy name for robbing citizens of their wealth.

Bitcoin is Satoshis gift to the world, setting us free from the oppression of central banking. Like John Galt he paved the way for people to exit the collapsing and start a new one free from the burdens of the looters.

what would it take for you to trust sending someone sats over nostr to purchase goods?

Has anyone thought about creating a Craigslist like marketplace utilizing nostr where people could post an ad and sign it with their private key and would be shared across relays essentially a Silk Road 2.0 that is harder to shut down because there would be many people running relays if there was a proper incentive.

Had a finance professor ask me yesterday if Bitcoin gave me any cashflow, he then talked about the benefits of Walmart stock because it pays a dividend. Very silly comparison between a commodity and a security, holding stock comes with a multitude of risks from management teams and brokerage firms ect. I’m not holding Bitcoin to get cashflow I’m holding Bitcoin to rid myself of worthless fiat.

Holding an unspent transaction output (UTXO) is essentially like holding a favor that you can cash in at any time over everyone in the world. Everyone has to input something to acquire UTXOs weather it be monetary energy to the network when you buy, or encrypted energy to protect the network when you mine. Zaps are also now allowing for the value input of the social layer to be a means of acquiring these UTXOs. Those who provide input value in Bitcoin are rewarded with unspent transaction outputs, which in time I believe will be a call option on the world.

If you can still buy Bitcoin with dollars, it is cheap.

Very excited about nostr, this is the liberation of people from centralized platforms controlling the dissemination of information. These ideas have been around for a long time waiting to be fulfilled and I am happy to take part. “Arise, you have nothing to lose but your barbed wire fences!”- Timothy C. may 1988
