Just traded $50 of made-up government "backed" pieces of paper for over 40000 units of pure value that will last more than a lifetime. Feels good every time.

Interesting, would this be in general at any point in a cycle or specific to the market conditions right now?

2025-03-05 13:13:41

You are getting a lump sum of money say $5k, smash buy or DCA? If DCA what's the buy schedule? #asknostr

How about someone not into Bitcoin yet? a) knows about bitcoin but hasn't bought in yet. Discuss why not, debunk FUD they ascribe to. b) no idea about bitcoin. Discuss fiat vs btc, obstacles to getting "into" btc.

2025-01-17 18:50:30

Has someone developed a script to start checking random combinations of seed words to stumble upon a private key with btc in it? How many more Years of adoption before there are enough wallets created that it makes it worthwhile? Mutlisig/passphrase eliminates this threat?

2025-01-17 00:15:33

I don't buy because I want more dollars now, I buy because I'll need more sats later.

Bitcoin, equality and fairness
Bitcoin is fair in that the rules are consistanly applied to everyone, all the time. Unless everyone agrees, the ruless of the game can't change; one node, one vote. Whether you have 1 sat or 1 bitcoin we are all equal on the network

Cooperation works when the rules are the same for everyone and consistent over time, like in nature.

2025-01-06 13:04:03

Bitcoin is competition; you must strive to acquire it, contend to have your transaction included in the next block, and battle as a miner to produce the next one. It embodies the essence of survival of the fittest, following the laws of nature. In its relentless simplicity, it is pure.

For the stats geeks out there, great resource for measuring the price of things in bitcoin over time. #deflation #unitofaccount

Are we confusing the next wave of bitcoin adoption by using legacy financial system terms in Bitcoin? A wallet carries cash, debit and credit cards. A bitcoin hardware wallet controls access to utxo sets. When we call it a wallet no wonder people think that they actually have bitcoin stored on the physical device. In the current system a PIN actually releases the funds from a debit card or credit card, I.e. authorises the transaction. This is more representative of what a hardware wallet does, so a hardware wallet is more of your bitcoin PIN than a wallet...no wonder self custody is so daunting.

As this school year is wrapping up I am already excited to get back in the fall. My new Bitcoin course will keep me busy all summer as I prepare to teach the properties, principles and power of the Bitcoin network to high schools students in our school division. Happy to have connected with local bitcoiners like @Jaime and international players like @skwp. Have a meeting with the Canadian Blockchain Consortium as well coming up. So many people wanting to help with Bitcoin education!

2023-04-12 04:32:14

What is that feeling when the price of BTC jumps >%5 in a day...? Urgency, like it's going to be so expensive if I don't buy anymore within the next 3 min; Excitement, like the whole world has finally clued in to what Bitcoin is and we can finally escape this FIAT nightmare; or justification that you were right all along and we knew Bitcoin was going to win outright? I think a little of each.

Hello Nostr world! The times sure are changing, in more ways than one. Change is good, especially in the world of education. I am a secondary teacher and have just been given the green light to offer a Financial Literacy & Bitcoin Economics course for the fall semester! Thankfully we have some progressive thinkers in our division that were willing to support this initiative. My own Bitcoin journey is only just over a year in and there is so much I want to do with this course it's consumed most of my free time planning. I am planning to use The Bitcoin Standard (@saifedean), Inventing Bitcoin (@skwp) as classroom resources. I have also found a cool blockchain simulator (bitcoinsimulator.tk) which we can use as an experiential learning of mining. Anyone suggest any other resources for grade 11-12 class?
