I fucking hate dealing with banks.
Most days if you ask me why I work on Bitcoin, I'll probably say something about eliminating the temptation for the state to print money, with all of its disastrous effects.
But every time I have to deal with a bank and must grovel to use my own fucking money, I feel the urge to hoist the black flag and start slitting throats. On days like today my work writing about Bitcoin technology is fueled entirely by rage and spite.

What's the best non-custodial Lightning wallet for Android for a U.S.-based user? I love Phoenix but they withdrew from the U.S. and it's time for me to move on.
Each morning when I check nostr, there's plenty of content in my timeline but it's almost all low-key stuff. It's not boring, but it's also not exciting. I love it.
