A Lightning Poem - (created with Artisanal Intelligence) Beware of scams that $take your sats Your sats are at stake... the $cams are fake So don't stake sats for the sake of $tats Trade sats for steak for heaven's sake

another Mental Mempool Mystery -- b24f4df09740ce7995e2bf212937d3d31dbad24e53179d510cb3ef8d7aa83da4 A miniscule fee of 89cents is paid... to consolidate two 64cent utxos into a new utxo worth 38cents. This transaction posted in the main Bitcoin ledger today and it is more than beyond curious, it is beyond human comprehension. It is still unconfirmed and at the shallow end of the pool. ~ Fascinating.

Tip for the new Epoch: Don't not have any Bitcoin.

420 blocks to the halving which will happen on 4/20 Coincidence? I.think.not.

I made my last Smash Buy at Swan about 1 year ago. That $250 hodl is worth $750 now. Oh man, USD is losing value fast! Save yourselves! #Bitcoin #HODL

It's Good Friday, the markets are closed. But the first Bitcoin "god candle" could occur over the week-end... If it does, it will... whether you believe in god or not. #Bitcoin

We're living in a movie - The Big Long The story of how Bitcoin eats the world ('s assets).

Shares of MSTR simply soaring now in keeping with their huge treasury of BTC, during this historic surge to a new ATH in Bitcoin. Hodlers got.to.love.it 😎 #Bitcoin

Celebrating the Month... and Leap Day Bitcoin has had an absolutely historic week, this last week in a stellar February candle, which saw BTC rise 44% in 29 days. 24/7/366! - We are Always Open baby. The nominal gains in BTC hodl and proxy portfolios are nothing short of breathtaking right now. But it's only a paper moon my dears... 1 BTC = 1 BTC. 😎

I try to socialize but I can't seem to find what I was lookin' for, got somethin' on my mind No, I say I have the answer, proven to be true But if I were to share it with you, you would stand to gain and I to lose So... Don't ask me to explain, I won't even begin to tell you why I have nothing to say.

Oh my, are we buying the fucking dip again anon? Well, BTC opened 2024 at $42288. Less than 2 weeks later it was over $49k. And right now for a limited time you can get some at under $42k... So yes. Yes we are. #btfd and #hodl #Bitcoin

BitcoinNostr.com still exists? Hmmmm...

GM We're standing on the platform awaiting liftoff but... We've been here before. Today is only yesterday's tomorrow. PV & HODL frenz

GM all. Despite everything... it is Friday in America. And this morning I notice that 1 million sats is roughly equal to 420 usd. Coincidence? I think not. PV everybody.

5b2e729f74c1de386281f8da0ba851fb42319d4e2b6a724e6554a99fd199c661 The fee to get into the next block has been ranging between 50-160 sats/vbyte lately (which does seem kinda high), but I don't know how this transaction (1input->1output) sending $10million from one bech32 address to another could have been considered Optimal while paying 500 sats/vbyte ($117.34 YIKES!). IKR, not a big percentage but ... ok who cares anyway, it's 10 million dollars ffs. PV y'all.

Glitchy Bitchin' about muh Anti-Social Media choices: I've long-since stopped going on Twitter ... such a real dumpster fire over there since X. Everything is just scary MSM negative contentious bullshit with a dash of newsiness. I'm also in a bunch of Telegram and Discord groups wading thru endless potentially important but indecipherable convos, unanswered questions from newbs, and more than a few scammers. So yeah, and don't even get me started on ScrewTube and all such videocities channels. So I spend quite a lot of time trying to read Nostr on 4 or 5 different clients, but they are nearly all still kinda glitchy and inconsistent for me. And I must wonder if anybody else is ever frustrated with the over-abundance of pablumatic single-word posts simply repeating GM, PV, Sunshine, Hearts, Hugs and Shaka-laka-ding-dong emojis. Nostr often feels like Mary Poppins High School by contrast to Twitter. It seems difficult to find worthwhile content and when I do it's often cryptic as hell and hard to understand. Meanwhile, my countless well-thought out carefully constructed notes, and hilariously humorous quips sink un-noticed into the immutable archives of darkness without comment, no matter how many inflooencers I follow. /end rant Keep smilin' and zappity doo dah to you all.
