*Hides*

Seems like we're getting a bunch of new #nostriches coming our way after what X has done with the #Bitcoin emoji. Get ready to onboard the younglings.

I think it’s time to move to #Nostr, as silent protest against X removing the #Bitcoin emoji. My npub is: npub10wv37amdqnv8edw5yktgsxr62g8k4lqkk...

Xapo Bank is the antihesis of Bitcoin. Instead of putting energy into building better self-custodial solutionsand UX with emergency backups like Muun (local) or @ZEUS (cloud) for Lightning have done, they're replicating traditional banks with #KYC AND you have to pay to use it.

Even AI will become aware of the truth before shitcoiners do 😬 View quoted note →

#MakeZapsSelfCustodialAgain! Needs to be a thing. View quoted note →

"The social engineering is neither accidental nor coincidental. The ultimate goal is to achieve absolute control over an individual, because those who have lost their sense of personal identity are receptive to auto-suggestion." - Anon

What's your excuse now, anon? Yet another easy-to-use node implementation, from the people who have one of the number 1 custodial services. So, let's see how many @getalby people actually complete the PoW challenge and achieve sovereignty at layer 2.... Privacy, freedom and sovereignty is earned. View quoted note →

Unfortunate but true. View quoted note →

It happened to @npub18q57...rs6f, creators of @npub1mea2...qane It's happened to others. You're next. It's only a matter of time. Bitcoin fixes this.

Huge. Slowly, then suddenly. View quoted note →

No excuse to not run your own node at this point. If you don't allow custody of your Bitcoin, you shouldn't allow custody of your sats given the current solutions that are out there. I see so many juicy targets here.

Taxation without representation. Well played.

It's like a frickin' epidemic these days. Seeing all the monero peeps out these days is just so par for the course - Limitations of Bitcoin are vocalized and suddenly someone has ALL the solutions at the settlement layer with no trade-offs. It's PERFECT! And yet.... It's not as decentralized - You can't recreate Bitcoin's level of decentralization. It's not as secure - You don't have as much energy backing it. XMR makes a ton of elements confidential to provide privacy, but security through obscurity isn't security at all. And with that, you've lost your entire foundation with which to build upon. Best be aware of Bitcoin's limitations (by design), understand them, and build from there. For a moment, think about how ironic it is that Monero users are taking sats over lightning.

Is it really still okay to push people towards custodial services for nostr authentication? Because I thought the norm was "Don't you people have phones?" - Just install an app that holds the keys for you and you're allowed to sign/reject events. NIP-46 needs to become the new standard, fast. People are much more comfortable with me telling them to install an app that stores their identity, than a browser extension that stores their identity... I mean, people don't even bother with an adblocker, let alone a nostr-event-signer.

If Bitcoiners were true, Trump would be sitting alone at that roundtable. And yet... It'll be interesting to see what sits there.

This is awesome. Been waiting for something like this. Definitely following this! For some criticism: There were times I felt the need for some harsher vocals and speed, it felt like it was just around the corner and it never came.The straightforward composition also makes the chorus overstay its welcome. Otherwise, really great stuff. View quoted note →

Who thought it would make sense to mix Bitcoin and Monopoly...? They're like.. The exact opposite of each other.

Oi @TwentyTwo Devices We see the first pre-orders starting to go out... Update your nostr profile so we can make some noise...?
