…but search still says “Nothing found 😅” Zaps are working via andrewgstanton@strike.me ⚡🧡 Let’s keep testing — grateful for this wild experiment in freedom. NOTE: typing in a direct link with npub on nostr.band primal rewrites this url to point to my profile -- extremely annoying, using bitly to bypass) Here is a pic of my direct link: #nostr #bitcoin #zaplife

Grateful for those early zaps—thank you 🙏 My zap icon isn’t active yet (still using Strike to receive sats), but it works. If anything I’ve posted—on faith, Bitcoin, or mission-driven building—has encouraged or resonated with you, feel free to zap ⚡ I’m the CTO at StartNation and actively exploring how Bitcoin can support missions in places like India and Africa. Building on Bitcoin. Rooted in the Victorious Gospel. #bitcoin #zap #nostr #faith #missions #victoriousgospel #startnation

Just experienced real custodian risk in a traditional IRA transfer. I approved a legitimate transfer from my legacy brokerage. It went through. The next day, a second *unauthorized* transfer was initiated by a third-party sub-custodian I had never interacted with. Same amount. No additional confirmation. No alert. Just another pull on my assets. Thankfully caught it fast and got confirmation it will be reversed. But this proves what many of us already know: 🟠 Trusting custodians = trusting systems you don’t control. 🟠 Bitcoin is the exit — but legacy interfaces still carry legacy risk. Even Bitcoin-aligned platforms that rely on fiat rails can get caught in the middle. Lesson: verify everything. Push for confirmation layers. And minimize reliance on opaque systems. #nostr #bitcoin #notyourcustodian #trustbutverify #sovereignty #ira #bitcoinira
