I know it looks like we're not hitting new #bitcoin all-time highs by Sunday evening but I’m sure we will. It’s just simple math. Nothing can go wrong now. #eternaloptimism #nevergiveupneversurrender #whodareswins #etc
Friends often ask what I will do if #Bitcoin fails. I normally bore them with an explanation of decentralisation and network effect.
But I now realise it’s much more than that. It can never fail for me because, no matter what happens, studying #bitcoin has taught me so much about how money and economies work and especially the value of saving and patience.
Until I discovered Bitcoin, I’d never saved a penny in my life and lived month-to-month, mired in debt.
I don’t have much but I feel more secure about my financial future and the future of my family.
Every day I buy a few more #sats. Another small step closer to freedom.
It feels to me like everyone actually wants to get along on #nostr or at least involve themselves in constructive argument. It’s like standing outside in the cool night air after thrashing around in the mosh pit of #TwitterX. Maybe we shouldn’t tell anyone else about this place.
I’ve been taking my time with #Nostr, just jumping in every now and then for the #bitcoin talk, but over the past couple of days I’ve really started examining what this whole thing is and what it can be and — Wow, this is huge and amazing and classy and enjoyable and ad-free and … it could really make a difference.
Is this a thing anywhere?
Energy companies that mine #bitcoin with their own excess energy and your incentive for signing up with them is a small share of their block rewards.
That would be cool. Maybe you could choose to have it in #sats or credit towards your bill. Essentially it would be like mining #BTC simply by using household electricity.
