We like to make fun of Europe’s approach to Bitcoin and tech regulation, but there are more shops accepting Bitcoin in Paris than in all of the United States.

What’s a good custodial Nostr service?

For the second time this year I made a credit card payment and I’m shocked how bad the UX has gotten: - Enter card details and address - Get redirected to 2FA portal - Log into bank website (requires 2FA SMS) - Obtain “secure code,” which requires a 2nd 2FA SMS - Enter secure code into 2FA portal - Obtain 3rd 2FA SMS, enter into portal - Payment confirmed, receive confirmation SMS At this point I suspect banks are even making it easier for scammers, as they patiently walk you through this kafkaesk security theater. That Lightning isn’t available as an online payment even for high-risk transactions should make you seriously doubt yourself, Bitcoin and the world around you.

This is how I know I made it in life! (I signed up when it was possible to pay with Bitcoin, used it a few times and absolutely hated the service)

Never forget there are only 2.1 quintillion millisats

Wow, I just came across a “crypto” payment processor that does not support Lightning payments. What a wild world

I finally shut down my testnet3 Core and LND nodes and LNBits instance. What a shame to have lost this excellent and well-supported testing ground to the antics of a bunch of egomaniacs.

Just stepped outside to sell some sats for under US$100,000 for the last time.

To my knowledge, I’m the last person on earth to ever buy a train ticket with Bitcoin from a travel agency or train operator. This kind of product is simply no longer offered for sats. We’re still regressing when it comes to Bitcoin adoption

Ugh, when I could have gotten a life instead

I really like this one. Outside a church in north England. The clue is a bit hidden, but once you see it you might also go “woah.” The old country has a very different attitude towards the homeless
