GM! Zaps now sent thru @ZEUS via my own node. Buy a @Start9 or @Umbrel ☂️ and open a decent sized channel to the Nodestrich node and you can too. I promise this entire process end to end takes maybe an hour. Just watch a @BTC Sessions video and you’ve got this. If I can do it then you can too.

GM! Anyone watch the YouTube show Financial Audit by Caleb Hammer? I think most bitcoiners or FIRE folks would love this. Don’t agree with every detail(he hates BTC), but it’s funny and he does a good overall job of giving people the tough love financial reality check they need. Amazing how delusional most people are about their debt and spending. Sad this is the modern norm. I wish we could have politicians on to review the government’s budget. Would be 🔥🔥

With Mutiny shutting down I wanted to try running fully self sovereign lightning as a pleb and Lightning noob. Hope this helps other plebs in their Lightning journey.

Running you own lightning node as a pleb – initial experience

With Mutiny shutting down I wanted to try running fully self sovereign lightning.

Lot of confusion on this lately, so here’s a really important basic clarification: You can access the internet and Nostr without a smartphone app from a centralized AppStore. AppStore’s are just more convenient for the plebs on smartphones, but not strictly necessary.

GM! Has anyone checked in on the “ETH is money” bros?

GM! I’m still 5 days later waiting for a bank transfer to complete just between two of my own bank accounts. And people say Bitcoin is too slow. Fiat is broken even in wealthy nations, let alone developing nations.

GM! Congrats to $58k gang. Idk how you did it, but you REALLY did it…

When checking out at an online store and you’re selecting payment options, the Bitcoin one needs to specify if it’s basechain only or also lightning BEFORE you decide. I hate when I’m buying something <$40 and find out only after selecting the only option is basechain. I will abandon that purchase every time.

GM! Love to daydream about my kids seeing the final Bitcoin halving and hoping they are safe, happy, and prosperous.

Bringin and Lightspark Extend are tools that let you send a Lightning payment and have that simultaneously send and convert to a fiat bank account balance in seconds. This is the magic where living on a sovereign Bitcoin standard starts to be more realistic for the masses.
