I'll give it to you. I am amazed by the ability to zap sats in nostr. And I cannot understand how other SM apps are not trying to replicate its functionality. It is really genius. I assume that the reason is that the UXUI is still not there for the general public, but I have a feeling that this functionality will be mainstream in a few years. It makes so much sense.

I say lets build bridges to people who come from the cold into bitcoin, instead of talking to ourselves self referentially. Good things about approaching and buying bitcoin: - it is a sensible diversification strategy into a commodity like asset with some extra advantages (safe self custody, portability, etc) - it is the only orthogonal asset to the current system (it is all fiat all the way) - it is finally breaking the adoption barrier with institutions offering products to the general public and legislation that provides certainty - it is the most transacted, most stable (in relative terms), circulated and successful crypto asset. - the interface is becoming easier and more approachable (vault, multisig, wallets, ok even ETF if this is still too much) Be kind. Don't be a bro. Understand where they come from, don't preach it like a religion. Make the tent bigger, everyone is welcomed and diversity of holders will only make the whole stronger

Why does have to BTC be so at odds with basic financial literacy? Don't you see that: a) it is possible a world where BTC enhances fiat (even if you believe that fiat is doomed like... tomorrow) b) only idiots think and talk in maximalist terms c) you scare the shit out of normal people curious about the space

If Trump is right and this is the start of the golden age, you should buy the dip. If he is wrong, you should buy bitcoin. It is that simple.

Should I spin out a nostr relay? Is it useful? Is it worth it?

Great video:

FAFO shockwave incoming

Wow, tariffs on German and Italian cars of 45% (20 + 25). My Alpaca Romeo will be worth a fortune in the second hand market!

Wow, the tariffs are 100% bananas. Things are going to get messy, but hey, BTC will benefit in the long term (even if it goes out the window with the bathwater first)

test, 1 2 3 4 do you hear me?

For those starting to learn about Bitcoin, these are some books that I found approachable and not hysteric (OMG fiat is doom! NGMI). Highly thought provoking and recommended: 1. Resistance Money by Andrew M. Bailey, Bradley Rettler and Craig Warmke 2. Broken Money by Lyn Alden 3. Bitcoin Age by Nick Bhatia
