GM! A few months into Strike Bill Pay + Privacy.com to pay all bills and online purchases. Conclusion: pretty great and will keep using. I would love for BTC direct payment to become more widespread, but until then I think this is the best sovereignty minded personal finance combo out there.

GM! Using social validation to attempt to find truth is highly inaccurate and problematic in both normie life and BTC. The experts ( your favorite BTC influencer or dev) told me X therefore I believe and do it. Better to go to primary sources and think for yourself from first principles: 1) actually run and use a node for self custodial BTC transactions, a node you don’t actually use is a pointless LARP. In Bitcoin only economic nodes matter. 2) attend your local BitDevs and don’t be afraid to ask questions that seem basic, people are super kind with new people - we all love talking about Bitcoin 3) read Mastering Bitcoin by Andreas, slowly and perhaps several times, then go to BitDevs and ask about the confusing parts Running purely on social validation of who you like just ensures you never actually learn anything for yourself and you forever remain an NPC.

GM! Love the open debate of Nostr. The X crowd blocking comments and then screaming about censorship is the height of hypocrisy. I’ll take someone on Nostr who disagrees with me but is open to respectful debate over the X crowd blocking everyone any day.

Man we went from Bitcoin is freedom money for enemies to trying to censor anyone we don’t like shockingly quickly…

@npub1az9x...m8y8 co-signer is amazing! Feature request: have co-signer allow only sending coins to same wallet. Especially helpful for @npub1ejky...expu where you need to periodically refresh the miniscript based relative timelocks. Admittedly a niche use case and will have approximately ~100 users.
