Lightning wallet on Zeus? Right now it is pretty easy to just go to boltz.exchange and do that but an approach integrated into Zeus would be pretty slick

Good point. I’m letting Strike keep track of that for me. If you choose to report private Lightning payments then this program is helpful. Currently in beta.

Just installed it. Available on Community Registry. Super easy to install and use (only tried it on LAN). However, it is a very old version. 5.1.0, which was released in Sept 2022. Packaged for Start9 in Dec 2022.
No further updates for Start9 since then. Most recent cryptpad released on Dec 17, 2024. Hopefully someone will take up the reins and update the Start9 package.

A couple years ago I was doing both but then the bitcoin outperformed and will continue to outperform the 529 so much that it doesn’t make sense to fund it any longer.
I might consider doing a bitcoin ETF if that was an option in it, but my 529 was with Vanguard. They are very anti-bitcoin.

Thanks! We have some cousin’s kids that are using Classical Conversations and I didn’t really like (or maybe understand) the amount of just rote memorization! However, I talked to another family who said that when they traveled to Boston to learn about Revolutionary War, it was amazing to see the memorization work as the kids started connecting everything that they had memorized. He said it was really cool to see.
So if we go that route, we’d probably do the memorization but also try to incorporate it into life experiences early on too.
We are going to a convention on homeschooling in May to hopefully learn more about all of this

You can feel better spending it rather than saving it because the fiat currency is doing down in value the longer you hold on to it.
Also, if in a form of physical cash, you can burn them for heat. Unlike bitcoin mining heaters where the generation of heat is actually getting you bitcoin.

If you just do Lightning, this might be really easy to do with LNDhub. I have a albyhub running that my church has a subaccount on. They connect to it via btcpay server and LNDhub through getalby. I’d be interested if Coinos has a similar connection that @npub155m…dcvg could tap into it.
I found this setup easier for them than having them manage their own Lightning node. Though I do have that set up for them too.

I’ve put a small amount into MSTY. It seems to track MSTR fairly well over flat markets and shorter timeframes.

2025-01-29 23:25:37

I saw that too. Would probably be just better to own MSTR and sell covered calls on that myself, provided the 401k plan allows options trading.

Wouldn’t the ETF fees be more than compensated for by the options premium given to us in monthly distributions?

2025-01-29 21:06:11

- reply

If your covered calls ever get in the money or close to it, you can just roll it. Buy to close the current covered call and then sell one the month later at either same strike or slightly higher. You’ll be paid more for the later expiration, enough that you can use that premium to pay for buying to close the initial option. Not ideal because you want the options to expire, but probably better than getting forced to sell your underlying stock.
You can keep rolling like this indefinitely!

2025-01-29 21:02:30

- reply

How much upside are you missing? It seems to track things fairly well, at over last 6 months, which have been fairly flat. In an account where I cannot sell covered calls on MSTR, I’m wondering if MSTY might be a good alternative.

I’ve definitely thought about how to secure our family’s future and build something that lasts longer than just my generation and my children’s. Bitcoin is the brighter future that allows us to do that.
I think it is the responsibility (and should be the desire) of parents to provide their children with the tools to succeed.
Having an asset that grows with them and is able to jumpstart their adulthood will give them a great start. Our goal as parents is to create the desire to work hard despite knowing that their future is set financially.
I’ve known too many kids growing up that screwed around all their childhood and early adult years because they knew they had a sizable inheritance.

I’m liking the steady prices for now too. It seems to have good support above 100k.
I bet once there is some more clarity about what the EO on the formation of a committee to investigate “digital assets” means, bitcoin could take off quickly. *If* the US government truly starts buying in the amounts that we think they will, there is no way that price is built in. There’s just not enough supply available right now so, given bitcoin’s inelastic supply, that will cause prices to respond upward.

> The only point of money is to be able to exchange it for things with 'real' value like food, shelter, etc... Not just to accumulate tokens, whether they are dollars, yen, or bitcoin
And that’s the cool thing about bitcoin. It is something that has no other purpose other than being a money.
Heck, even gold has utility outside of money (such as in electronics, jewelry).
Bitcoin is pristine money that will get more adoption as its price continues to go up.

2025-01-24 16:48:54

- reply

Don’t disagree at all! Number going up is probably the reason we all got into it. The increased purchasing power of bitcoiners is a good thing and will continue for as long as fiat exists.
As @npub1cn4…3vle explains, Bitcoin needs to have a higher price in order for its structure (or matrix or lattice) to be sufficient to support the global economy. Right now it has not reached the point where it could do that. It cannot support flows of trillions of dollars yet like the Treasury market can.
Number go up is what will allow more and more use cases.
Jack described it this way: If someone put $20 billion into Bitcoin to buy the Genesis block (assuming that was possible), then 10 minutes later, when the next 50 BTC was mined, the value of their 50 BTC would now drop to $10 billion. Bitcoin didn’t have the structure needed to support large transactions like that at that time.
One of the genius things that Satoshi did was to make sure there was a quick distribution of Bitcoin early.
As only 3.125 BTC is mined per 10 minutes and there is already so much BTC out there, the dilution is significantly less.
Price going up, block rewards dropping, and Bitcoin asymptotically approaching the just under 21 million cap is what will allow Bitcoin to support the entire global market.

2025-01-24 16:23:16

I’m excited about BTC because it can replace fiat. I don’t have a goal price that I intend to sell at and get more fiat. Yes, I will sell BTC or trade BTC when needed to pay bills, but my goal isn’t to acquire more fiat. It is to acquire more BTC.
I think that is the major difference between Bitcoin and the crypto promoters. They are still living in a fiat world and hope to get rich in fiat terms.

Please reiterate bitcoin only for US Gov purchases. As a libertarian, I feel that if others want to waste their time with Solana, XRP, Eth, etc, they should be free to do so. My tax payer dollars should not be going to buy it.
Please don’t let the money from Ripple cloud your judgment. The only fair and non-government controlled digital currency is Bitcoin and that should be where the US puts its money.
