What happened to RGB and taproot assets? Especially I would like to know what happened to USDT promises and announcements to use there technologies. 🤔

Can't wait for #bip110 shitshow finale. 🍿

Скучно! Не достаточно драмы.

How come ETH heads add a next, more complicated layer to their Rube Goldberg machine every few years, but haven't been able to come up with a descent address format, i.e. one that has a network/token type prefix and a checksum? Is this a real life?

America, Fuck Yeah!

Next bull run, every time I hear 'supply shock', 'omega candle', '$1m per coin', 'global reserve asset', 'institutional adoption', or any other stupid, recycled meme, I will be selling 1 #bitcoin. Because historically, peak cringe is the best reverse-DCA signal. Change my mind!

The new world order is arriving like a steamroller. The US is still mostly in denial with lots of takes how terrible Europe is and 'look ma - China is dying' press, and Europe seems to be leaving anger and entering bargaining phase.

This is beautiful....

Dear community, what nostr relay software should I use with my Umbrel node in 2026?

Nostr Relay | Umbrel App Store

Discover Nostr Relay for your umbrelOS home server. Learn more, see screenshots, and discover other self-hosted Social apps available for umbrelOS.

haven't had a single update in two years. I think I need a custom app store, because there are no other relays in the default one.

Okay, I had a chance to spend some time with the Keycard Shell hardware wallet. The hardware side feels very solid. It has the right size, the right weight, a user-replaceable BL-4C battery, a decent 2 inch screen, and a built-in camera. The button feel is better than the Coldcard MK5 and Q1. It's different from the MK4 (which is still my personal favorite), but overall quite good. The device gives off a genuine high-quality feel. One unique feature is the removable EAL6+ secure element, implemented as a separate credit-card-sized module. As far as I know, that's currently a unique approach in the hardware wallet space. On the downside, there is no microSD card slot and no NFC support. Hardware rating: 4/5 The software side is much more basic than what Coldcard users are used to. In my opinion, it may be too basic for many hardcore Bitcoiners, especially the proverbial "Uncle Jim" crowd. Pros: + Direct Sparrow Wallet support + Fully open-source hardware and software Cons: - No dice-roll entropy support - No ability to add or change the 13th/25th word after setup - No advanced seed management options - No BIP85 support - No spending policies - No miniscript support (not a surprise really) - No mention of Silent Payments (not surprising at this stage) - Heavy focus on Ethereum; to the extent they put ETH before Bitcoin in the UI (B goes before E, bitcoin should be at 1st position anyway. A ethead fanboy worked on it 100%) - No Bitcoin-only firmware (SAD!) Software rating: 2/5 The project is 100% open source (software and hardware)

At €129, the price is very reasonable to me. Overall, this is a solid product with plenty of potential. The hardware is surprisingly polished for a relatively new entrant, but the software still has a long way to go before it can compete with the feature set offered by Coldcard.

What if we just forget about last 2 year and InStItUtIoNaL aDoPtIoN phase (it was a mistake), cool down, go back to where we were (3/9/19k) and just wait for a badaboom to happen? It probably will take some time, but would be able to accumulate more? wdyt?

HUGE RELEASE View quoted note →

In retrospect, it was inevitable... View quoted note →

in Soviet Russia, #bitcoin adopts you.

dear diary, I just have quit by job. it's kind of scary feeling, but not because of money, but because I have been worked basically non-stop since I was 13 and not sure what do I do now.

Can someone ask Samson Mow if an omega candle has finally arrived?

The last I expected was a nostr civil war.
