do you miss the times when nobody knew what bitcoin was?

is this a bug @primal ?

i dared to criticise china 🇨🇳 on X and am once again surprised how many chinese are incapable of talking about their country with nuance. > china can be authoritarian and technologically incredibly successful at the same time. > it can have a rich own culture and simultaneously tries to wipe out other cultures. > it can have arguably good food and still be one of the greatest polluters in the world. how do you go through life only acknowledging the good things while ignoring the bad?

do people do multisig with just 2 different passphrases? #bitcoin

nostr needs less pics and memes. and more discussions, news, personal takes and learnings.

tried out @Robosats for the first time. that's a fun experience. had a little chat with my counterparty too. have you done any higher volume trades there?

so if #MSTR pays out 10%ish in yield to everyone holding their credit instruments, how exactly are they generating cash besides issuing more debt or shares if they are committed to never selling the underlying asset? even in a highly leveraged long bet on bitcoin at some point you want to DECREASE your interest obligations. here it seems like the interest burden is perpetually INCREASING over time and the only way you win is if bitcoin gains are long term greater than 10% p.a. with a 12month cash runway on the interest that does not seem to be an amazingly large buffer if the bitcoin price goes flat/bearish for a 2-3 years (which is possible). what am i missing?

controversial take: there are too many memes on nostr. who can i follow for more signal?

curious: why does @Coinkite not support SLIP-39 seed splitting or importing, @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞?

found some #xrp and #ltc on an old wallet today. smash-sold that trash for bitcoin. even felt a little ashamed that i bought it in ico times 🙄

i am seeing more ai slop replies on #nostr does that mean popularity is up?

shame on me for not knowing @Lyn Alden earlier but i’m quite impressed by the macro analytics skills. binge-watching/reading the available public material now.

weekend reminder: alcohol poisons your body and mind and tricks you into thinking numbness is enjoyment. you can always just stop.

can a Cashu mint be configured to automatically claim back minted coins, if they are not redeemed in a certain time @calle ?

i just found out that >40% of crypto holders do not hold their funds in self-custody. that's insane. but to be honest, i cannot blame them. it's not so easy if you don't understand the tech and one mistake can cost you dearly. i might set up a small educational site to collect all the "basic" and more advanced techniques and how to combine them.
