I’ve been waiting for this moment—I just started reading The Big Print by @Lawrence Lepard

I've taken my first steps into the territory of Podcastistan. It was a pleasure to talk with @Niko Jilch and @Lyudmyla Kozlovska about the threats to privacy in the fiat world.

Why Bitcoin needs to be protected at all costs

The Fiat system is a privacy nightmare. Regulations can be weaponized against dissidents and civil society. Building freedom technologies is vital ...

That's stunning. It'd be useful to see someone unrelated to @OCEAN replicate this experiment.

This is a significant pivot. I'm pleased to see Zuck's change of heart. Nostr paved the way, X followed, and now Meta is joining the free speech renaissance. The others will either follow or be left behind.

Hey @Alby , Thanks for the Alby Hub’s Friends & Family feature! I used it today to set up a sub-account for a family member, which I connected to Alby Go. It’s perhaps the easiest way to onboard close contacts without relying on third-party custodial services. That said, I would appreciate the following additional capabilities: — A separate balance for the sub-account in the main account’s UI (currently, payments to the sub-account are merged with those of the main account and are indistinguishable) — For the main account owner to spend from the sub-account’s balance, it should require deleting the sub-account (in this case, the balances should merge) — An LN address for the sub-account Additionally, I have not found a way to reconnect an existing sub-account to a new Alby Go instance. Is it possible to display the secret code again when the sub-account is already set up and running? Anyways, great stuff! All the best.

Happy 2025, Everyone! 🍾♥️

GM! My Mini Miner’s 1TH/s gives me a breathtaking 0.007% chance to find a block in a year (or so the solo mining site claims). At this rate, I only need a brisk 14,280 years to hit a 100% chance! 😱 Statistically, I’m beyond screwed—it’s like mining gold with a teaspoon. And yet, somehow, I love every second of it. 😅

I’m thoroughly enjoying Resistance Money by @Andrew M. Bailey, @Bradley Rettler and @npub10afr...0xj0. It has made its way into my top five Bitcoin books! #bookstr

Thanks, @Frank Corva , for highlighting the report. It’d be great to see more media, including mainstream outlets, pick up this subject. The public needs a wake-up call. ⏰ View quoted note →

This report, prepared for the Open Dialogue Foundation, demonstrates that the European Union is on a collision course with non-custodial Bitcoin payment solutions. The effective ban on anonymous payments, coupled with advanced surveillance and identity detection measures, risks marginalising EU CASPs and undermining the fundamental right to privacy. I extend my gratitude to @npub15ka0...xua8 for co-authoring this piece with me and to @Lyudmyla Kozlovska for providing us with the platform to share it with the world. View quoted note →

Bugger, I’m 50 today. When the heck did that happen?! Pulling an all-nighter without consequences is officially off the table. Guess I’ll just keep fighting off entropy for the rest of the fun stuff... till it finally catches up. Time’s a beast ⏳

Let’s not lose sight of the fact that achieving ideal price stability (0% inflation) is still theft.

Just played it to my wife and she found it inspiring 😀 View quoted note →

Every performance of the Brandenburg Concertos has its charm, but this recording by Rinaldo Alessandrini & Concerto Italiano is in a league of its own. I’ve been listening to it for years, and it never fails to deliver. It feels as close to an absolute musical masterpiece as one can get. This is low-time-preference art at its finest—timeless and endlessly rewarding.

Graham Hancock’s Fingerprints of the Gods makes a surprisingly strong and convincing case that mainstream history is ignoring a wealth of evidence pointing to a scientifically advanced prehistoric civilisation. A truly fascinating read!
