Liber-servative? Repubarchist? I have thoughts on most things.

I wish Jonathan Bier were on here so I could zap him some sats. After owning *some* Bitcoin for years, I read his book. and my first Bitcoin book, The Blocksize War. It's an amazing book. Nostr users may not think this, but the average person wouldn't believe a book about the war between big block bitcoiners and small blockers could possibly be a page-turner with great story lines. But it is a fast fun read, and it ultimately orange pilled me.

@Saifedean Ammous just dropped a great extensive write-up on Argentina and Javier Milei on X They're printing money and growing national debt. Milei e appears to be no libertarian, no Austria. economist, and merely a money printer. I highly suggest the read. not gonna post here, go find it.

LED headlights need to be outlawed. they're blinding when behind you. I bend forward. I bend sideways. they're blinding. Now big trucks have them. 200yds behind me blind me. it's raining, andI have to hold my hand up to block side mirrors from blinding me. Now I have only one hand one the wheel, raining, dark, with my precious cargo. Maybe they're just not adjusted down properly to not blind drivers ahead? It's fucking dangerous.

Currently single sig air gapped. Currently nervous about single sig failure via theft or loss. But nervous about multi sig. Nervous about using unchained as multisig, in that I don't like them having my xpub. Want to do self multisig via Sparrow, but nervous about keeping my own xpub (all corresponding multisig wallet configuration info) and losing it, even if I store the file with each of the private keys. Multisig just seems a bit more complex, another layer of understanding. thoughts? #coldcard #multisig #coldstorage

how do you spend your BTC? I mean, luckily at this point I haven't had to. but if I did, seems like annoying tax consequences I'd have to deal with. obv I will deal w taxes if necessary, but it makes me slightly apprehensive when buying btc

I tried to runs Bitcoin node. I suppose the failure was purchasing a HDD instead of an SSD. it was so slow downloading. then somehow I bricked the drive. idk I gave up. should I go drop $150 and get that SSD and get back on the horse? I should say, I've installed Ubuntu Linux on old computers, flashed custom roms back in the day to android phones, so I'm not a complete tech noob.

Unfortunately, the Fountain app is simply not as good as Podcast Addict. I've used Addict for many years, it's great. I switched to Fountain around 8 months ago. I added sats from my stash. I have been tipping and zapping for good shows. But the Fountain app would occasionally delete an episode, or no longer let me listen to a show, or some other strange things that inhibited my podcast enjoyment. Two weeks ago I switched back to Addict, and it's just so smooth. But now at least I have Nostr so I can zap podcasters on here for good shows.

I'm in. all in. obviously, I'm on here I still cannot yet come up with how to use lightning - or aqua fedi etc for that matter - in the boring ol Midwest USA. besides here online sending and hopefully receiving zaps. I would love to accept from customers, but people are generally unaware of completely ignorant. I'm still all in. I just feel I'm the only one seeing a finished house when the entire rest of my world is seeing an open field before the excavator has even showed up

#introduction I have the fountain app for podcast listening. As you can see I just downloaded the Primal app and created a nostr account. I have it on my phone. I cannot figure out how to send sats from my fountain app to my primal account.
