@Start9 why can’t I update my Alby Hub to the latest version? I don’t see an option in the updates available. Thanks!

@less, in your pod with @walker you spoke about the debt refinancing cycle, approximately every 4 years since GFC, necessary for business but does this liquidity crunch that eventually gets supported by central banks also affect the real estate markets as well & the refinancing of mortgages? Thanks!

Can #Nostr integrate into email? I’d really like a self-sovereign, no KYC email… or maybe just an email address that js Nostr native. Is this a pipe dream?

Hi @Jeff Booth , in your most recent podcast with @Robert Breedlove , you say we are getting less and less productivity out of ever increasing debt, which is true, but do you see any signs that perhaps some of this increasing debt will be used more productively, say in supporting AI development, and that this rate of ever increasing less productive debt could relatively decrease as more productive debt is created? And if so, how does this start to affect things in the longer term assuming this trend exists/continues? Thank you.

@calle, I just setup my first Cashu wallet! Sent it 20k sats from my own lightning node (@Alby hub via @Start9). Unbelievably easy. VERY EMPOWERING. Thank you for this tool!! Mind = blown! 🤯

Gold’s physicality leads to it’s inability to protect people from monetary control systems.

The one thing I always ask myself, “has anything fundamentally changed on the base layer?” So far the answer has always been “no”. So, I continue down the road of the unknown.

“The right to write on the ledger…” The fact that we can simply buy bitcoin, privately and securely, holding in self-custody, is a massive honour and privilege. We are the lucky generation at the genesis of it all. Absolutely incredible. And to do so on the base layer… amazing.

“Saying that you want the Bitcoin network to use less energy exposes you as either naively uninformed, dangerously authoritarian, or both. A decrease in Bitcoin’s energy use is a decrease in security, fair distribution, and resistance to hostile alteration. If you are cheering for a reduction in hashrate you are cheering for centralization and ease of corruption.” - #[0]​ Awesome article! (I’d link it if I knew how!)
