IFR from VUJ to LUA. Just entering the Shenandoah Valley

Seems to me that there's an inverse relationship between having a busy life of responsibility and being trans. I.e. the more responsibility you have the less time you have for ponder your identity.

I work for a bank. They find my purchase of Bitcoin. And they just published a comment saying "Bitcoin is not backed by any underlying asset" and contrasted that with how wonderful CDBCs are lamenting the lack of them in the US. Of course all because traditional payment methods are environmentally expensive. I work for idiots.

About time. . "We're non-violent!" You think that physically restricting people's freedom to move is non-violent? This strategy is more effective at pissing people off than helping sway them to your cause. Even those who might be inclined to agree.

"You can't always get what you want" seems to me - a gen x - to be a basic fact of life. But many millennial and gen z fight this as if it's a tool of oppression rather than a fact. I know others have said that this is a consequence of my generation overreacting to being latch key kids and creating things like participation awards. That we created entitled kids that are unwilling to accept any reality that doesn't align with their desires. This seems likely to me. I don't know what to do about it.

Gonna start just posting random shit here. Few will see it. So...

There are some days where I feel like everyone I know is mad/annoyed/frustrated with me. And when I ask, they express surprise that I feel that way. So apparently it's all in my head. And yet...

We currently live in a short period of time where the majority of people can't express their birth with a block height.

When I'm agnostic on a contentious topic, there's very few things that will push me to the opposite side as quickly as when an advocate says, "trust me". An advocate who says, "don't trust me, here's my data" pulls me towards their side.

Why does electrumx have peers? Shouldn't it only need to talk to bitcoind?

If women can do everything as well or better than men, doesn't that necessarily mean that men are less than women? Because everything that men do, can be done by women equally as well. And there are some things that women do better than men. If that's the case why wouldn't evolution - based on survival of the fittest - have rid the world of men a long time ago? Doesn't the fact that men survived strongly imply that there must be some things that men are more fit for than women?

Critique my strategy: - I work and get paid in fiat - From fiat I buy and hold Bitcoin as my savings - From fiat I buy goods and services to support my lifestyle - I don't spend Bitcoin - I don't think I've ever sent or received a lightning payment - I run my own node - My bitcoin wallets only connect to my node - I have coinjoined some of my Bitcoin

Are there people on nostr who aren't bitcoiners? I find myself not posting here much because I have nothing useful to add. Whereas on the legacy app, there are tons of people who don't grok Bitcoin.

There was no way Bitcoin loses here. Even if CSW had won his lawsuit, all that would have proven is that no one, even with nation state support, can stop #Bitcoin. I think it might have been fun to watch them try.
