SHA256 is truly amazing. The amount of brain power that must have went into coming up with this hashing algo is an absolute marvel.

Anyone think Tim Draper will give Ross his bitcoins back???

Bets on which podcast is going to get Ross on first? @ODELL @Bitcoin.Review @Marty Bent @Simply Bitcoin

The average American would need 2 full years’ salary to be able to buy 1 bitcoin. Crazy. 🤯

If the Trump administration truly wants to be “innovation/bitcoin friendly” one of the best/low effort ways would be to allow small amount transactions (< $1000) to be tax free. This would remove the small but significant mental barrier of using bitcoin to buy things, gift to others, etc.

A fear I have of the strategic bitcoin reserve, specifically one funded by seized bitcoin, is that now the government will be incentivized to confiscate (aka get it for free) from people. Self custody is crucial folks!

With a small sample size of non-bitcoiners (my wife), she’s not convinced that @Peter Todd was Satoshi, but she actually watched the entire doc (that never happens) and I saw her listening attentively as they talked about all culturally relevant about bitcoin. This was good for bitcoin.

#asknostr which nostr apps have the best onboarding experience? Specifically focusing on the eas of nsec creation.

#asknostr why isn’t there a nostr kind for things like podcasts, music, video, and other media for clients to implement. Feels like notes are all just Twitter posts with text and links with minimal support for images and videos. It could be so much better. What am I missing?

Accidentally deleted my nostr account, freaked out, found this

Publish Nostr Event Deletions!

Publish Nostr Event Deletions.

deleted the delete event, was able to sign back in to #damus and #coracle but not #primal. I updated my kind0 profile on Damus and then primal let me log back in. 🫠

AI is going to create so many more jobs, just not for most existing devs.

#asknostr I’m building the mempool.space of mobile apps. Should/How could I integrate #nostr in a useful way?
