Random thought:
Like a lot of us I'm a libertarian leaning classical liberal so I don't fit neatly into "left-wing" or "right-wing" designations.
However.
I have observed that if I talk to a more conservative leaning person I can say "I agree with you on X but not Y" and they'll be like "cool, agree to disagree."
If I say the same to a leftist/woke type they'll scream at me and call me a sexist racist super bigot.
Not even controversial shit either. I'd get that for not thinking kids should be able to fuck with their hormones, even though I also believe adults can do whatever the fuck they want.
Anyone else notice this? π€
Real talk. Going through this dark time in my life this year really made me appreciate the value of my loved ones.
Don't ever take your friends and family for granted. Treat your real friends like family too because they are if they're always there for you.
Your people are more valuable than anything else in your life. Even your Bitcoin.
I was discussing Bitcoin in El Salvador with a curious no coiner and he was impressed.
He asked "when Bitcoin goes up, does it benefit the people equally?"
I said of course. You have your Bitcoin in your own Lightning wallet. If Bitcoin goes up by 10% it goes up by 10% for everyone.
Of course if you have more Bitcoin you get more gains, but everyone gets the same percentage, everyone gets the opportunity to save an appreciating asset and take payment in it.
It lifts up the rich and the poor at the same percentage. Whereas the fiat system, as he already understood, often means that the rich gain at the expense of the working class, as we saw during the pandemic for example.
I think I might have started him on his orange pill journey. Think I'll offer him $20 worth of sats to get him onboarded.
Are you guys still using Nests or have you moved to new platforms? Was chatting to @Riddler about some of the new ones but forgot their names now haha.
Wanna hop on one later I missed this community π
Okay I've been away for a minute. Seen Alby is shutting down. What should I use instead? Can I put the BIP353 address from Phoenix into my LN address field, will that actually work?
Wanna get everything set up correctly so I can zap again.
Did you know: with Elon appointed to the Department of Government Efficiency, thatβs the first time an openly autistic person will hold a high level position in the US federal government.
Not that it should matter, but itβs funny to me that the βtolerant leftβ is too busy shaving their heads to acknowledge this. Same with the first ever female chief of staff. And the first openly gay cabinet member in his previous administration.
Almost like you donβt need forced DEI quotas and token hires for diversity if you have equality of opportunity or something itβs crazy.

Latest Graphene update adds a duress password feature. If forced to enter your PIN under duress you can enter the duress password and it'll wipe your phone in an irreversible manner. Once the wipe starts it cannot be stopped.
Serious respect to the #Graphene team for this one. Proving yet again you are the kings of #OPSEC.
