We got any other weightlifters in here? Doing MadCow, currently on my #DeadliftThursday
High stress activity for the day: moving funds into a more secure multisig #bitcoin wallet.
In "things I never expected to see": a pension company just wrote to me that an employer had missed a payment to my account... in 2018. They asked for my bank account information to pay me back the missing amount, plus interest.
Blogosphere (pre-Web2 tech): open standards, loose integration (hyperlinks+RSS basically), high demands of authors for hosting their sites, difficult to remix content
Hosted blogosphere: fixes the demands on authors, but began the centralization phase
Web2: post into the beautiful walled gardens of Facebook, Twitter, etc. No self-ownership, great integration on-platform, no integration off-platform
Nostr: simple least-common-denominator formats (simple text + Markdown), self-ownership via private keys without author demands for hosting their content, easy remix
Seems like a similar evolution as gold=>banks=>central banks=>Bitcoin :)
Store of value: absolute best available
Medium of exchange: working, but needs more adoption to be universal
Unit of account: hahaha no, we're way too undervalued!

For the past few months, @Miriam Snoyman and I have been talking out an idea for a sci-fi universe. We decided to kick it off with a short story. We're sharing on Nostr, since a lot of the themes will probably resonate with the crowd here. Hope you enjoy! View article →
Gm. Thinking about replacing my Ledger and Trezor devices with Bitcoin-only devices. Any recommendations? I’ve heard good things about Jade, but no real leaning. #bitcoin #asknostr
I probably wouldn’t have even noticed the ATHs today if I hadn’t gotten the coin market cap alerts. I should probably delete the app.
Hey @jb55 @Vanessa let me know if bug reports/support requests should go elsewhere.
One thing I’m noticing in Damus still is inconsistent display of the Zap button. It often doesn’t display at all in my feed, and sometimes when I click on a note it will appear, but be unclickable.
Let me know if I can provide any information.


Looks like we’re about to see more buy pressure.


Not that weekly price of BTC matters much, but it’s still fun to track and talk about, kind of like following sports. With that frame of mind…
Looks like BTC price is moving up over the weekend. I’m expecting positive price action during the week. Expectation: we break $105k some time this week. I don’t think we get as high as $110k but it wouldn’t shock me.
