Nostr has taught me to think decentralized, so I will apply this by having multiple women in my life.

Working with Gemini 3 Pro for a day or two now and it might be slightly better than Sonnet 4.5 but it's a hell of a lot cheaper.

Hi @Daniella ✨ , I’m just listening to your interview with Jeff Booth and enjoying it. At 1:57:15 you highlighted the issue with bitcoin-only businesses lacking tutorials for clients and you being interested in solving that problem. I’m working on this very issue and happy to help if you need it.

I just realized the worse your currency is, the harder it is for companies to be successful.

Incorporating Jeff’s vision is like having a superpower. You can just filter out any nonsense like altcoins, stable coins, NGU, DeFi, NFTs, yield farming

I feel trapped between the legacy banking cartel and the fintech platforms offering you crypto schemes. Can’t wait to live on bitcoin fully.

If gold is the comma in monetary debasement, then Bitcoin is the full stop.

Hey @Tony do you have any information on Muun and Lightspark not being truly lightning but using submarine swaps? Are the costs the main objection?

I built Buoy — a free, independent Bitcoin-only tool to help new Bitcoiners compare wallets, exchanges, merchant tools, and more. Inspired by @npub1s05p...eyhe ‘s call to spend more of our time in Bitcoin and contribute to building its ecosystem, I put that advice into action—because his vision of a future where progress benefits everyone, not just a few, is worth building toward. Even in the Bitcoin-only space, there are so many services that it’s hard to know what they do or how they differ. Buoy aims to make that clear and save you time. Open source, no ads, no paid rankings and value-for-value. It is an early MVP — so your feedback will help shape what comes next. What felt missing, confusing, or wrong? ⚡ Let me know what you think and how this project can be more useful and I'll zap a thank-you. 🔗

Just saw this bitcoiner with his 3-year old daughter so I started to talk to him. Very friendly and open guy. He casually mentioned he started stacking in 2015 and now he doesn’t have to work anymore. Great future for him and his family 🧡 image
