Boomers talk about the 2000s housing bubble like it was the hardest conditions to ever go through and just 15 years later it looks like a small bump when you zoom out lol

Best non KYC lightning wallet on iOS to use for zaps?

When is the return of Strike merch? @jack mallers

Explained the unrealized gains tax to my wife in like 60 seconds and she instantly goes “wouldn’t people just not invest anymore?” My wife is like the person least interested in anything to do with finance on the planet lol it’s an absurd idea to even the people who don’t pay attention

Currently posting to nostr from Brazil🇧🇷 lol actually pretty quick speeds

The government reported numbers are all manipulated. Government agencies and media companies are in cahoots to control how you think. You’re better off trying to find truth through personal antidotes.

@Will Cole anyway you guys at Zaprite could come up with a LN address I could just add to my Nostr profile so that when someone zaps me it just donates directly to the company? It’s one of my favorite projects in Bitcoin and I’d also like to force Parker to benefit from Nostr after his willful ignorance lol

Is there a way to set up my address for zaps that goes directly to Open Sats? @ODELL

I’ve been trying out Nostur for like 24 hours now and it’s definitely more reliable than Primal. I’ll probably stick here until Primal stops locking up every other time you go to refresh the feed or send a note

I’d pay someone in sats to create a reliable nostr bot that would forward tweets from certain Twitter accounts

I guess @rand0mguest2 found a solid search feature lol

Federal, state, and local governments continue to make promises they’ll never be able to keep.

I have a friend who works in traditional finance but also has a notable amount of his net worth in bitcoin. His main argument against going all in is his belief that the heads of our current financial system can continue to kick the can down the road for much longer before it implodes. There’s no real argument against that opinion and past predictors of the end have all been wrong. I wouldn’t bet on it personally, but there’s always a chance they can keep the circus going for centuries. The issue with not buying bitcoin because we think the government may be able to keep their charade going for much longer is in the thinking that it will function just fine until it abruptly ends. The reality is that the system is harming those not close to the money printers more and more as time marches on. Each kick of the can (injected stimulus, more debt, new laws in favor of elites, etc.) causes the system to fail more people. You see this in the shrinking of the middle class. This is why Bitcoin has continued to rise in value as time has gone on. Bitcoin is not a futures bet that only cashes when fiat currencies implode, it’s an immediate escape as they continue to trend toward worthlessness.

This feels very real right now View quoted note →

It’s frustrating watching bitcoiners pretend Trump holds no blame for the recent inflationary environment because he’s the bitcoin candidate. Trump and Biden both oversaw the printing of tons of dollars. Regardless of who wins in November the printing will continue.

There’s an extremely important race taking place right now between hyper inflation and the Bitcoin circular economy

Keep seeing popular accounts touting how the Bitcoin ETF holders didn’t sell through the recent dip as evidence that the legacy system boomers get it and have strong hands. I’m sure some of them do, but I think what it really shows is that the majority of the ETF holders are actually Bitcoiners who had money tied up in the legacy system that they shifted to the ETFs after launch. The big financial institutions have just began to green light the bitcoin ETF pitch. The old money isn’t here yet. That wave is yet to come.

You probably have more time to stack than you think but you might not Act accordingly

The only ways for governments to accumulate bitcoin: A. Control government spending and buy bitcoin with a surplus of the dollars they bring in via taxes B. Print dollars and buy bitcoin with them C. Take it via force
