If hell or high water, one stays humble and stacks sats regularly, what is the value proposition for attending Bitcoin conferences?

A well respected Bitcoiner was talking about launching something called “Another Shitcoin Podcast”, and it’ll focus on everything you need to know about cryptocurrencies that are not Bitcoin.

One of my mental models is whether my life will be predictable based on a given decision. If it is, and I’m not excited about what that future looks like, I’ll make a different choice because I don’t need to live that version to know the outcome. I much prefer making a choice where my future is unknown because of it, but the outcomes could be asymmetrical. I choose adventure.
I’m grateful for decisions I made eight years ago and six years ago.
Me five years from now better be fucking grateful.

I’ve not read the article so this comes from a place of extreme ignorance: I wonder what cells, and how much power it takes to compute. A human brain takes much less power than a toaster, and some of us are considered smarter than said toaster. V4V.

That’s what I liked about your post. I thought it was cool to see someone have a different take to both those things. Makes the world a more colorful place. Memes are totally stupid, but that’s why I enjoy them. Saylor’s comments about Bitcoin reaffirms Bitcoin’s strength, BUT it has be questioning why to pursue other ventures, instead of just simply stacking sats and living life.

Screw all that stuff everyone is posting.
Don’t worry about connecting Bitcoin (the sats and zaps) at this point. Just enjoy Nostr. Consider the wallet an add-on feature to Nostr. You have an account, so you’re set.
Don’t even worry about the wallets for at least a couple of months. Get comfortable to posting and engaging for now.
Just save your 12 words and have fun!

I love that Bitcoiners are talk nearly as much about health as they do ₿. If your financial situation limits how much you can stack now, longevity allows your bag to not only grow, but compound.
I recently completed a series of health tests. I haven’t been this fit since 2017. What’s similar between 2017 and now? The amount of time I’ve been able to focus on Bitcoin. It encourages a low time preference, greatly simplifies life thus reduces stress, and creates focus (fixation perhaps) creates space for clarity on life.

I realize I’ve never written an introduction, though I think I am still within the statute of limitations to do so.
Until Nostr, I hadn’t been active on a social network since probably around 2017. This place is chaotic, messy, changing fast, and totally euphoric vibes. I love it. #Nostr is what the internet should have always been.
Being offline for as long as I had, it’s still strange to post, share, and discuss ideas so openly.
I’ve been fortunate to check off a pretty ambitious bucket list early in my life, which is liberating. Faced death… more than a few times, did interesting things, met interesting people.
I Benjamin Buttoned my career, starting off managing billions of dollars in institutional assets in my early 20’s, receiving all sorts of awards and recognitions, then worked towards progressively reducing my responsibilities over time until firing myself completely.
Since this is Nostr, I feel obligated to add that yes I do think about #Bitcoin constantly. No, I do not know why.
Please don’t hesitate to say hi! My life is pretty obscure, which means you’re probably going to be interesting, no matter how typical it may be to you!

The #shoeonhead trend has me absolutely convinced we live in a simulation. Over a decade ago, my wife and I attended a Buddhist temple a couple of times on an island in the Pacific, and would often joke that enlightenment was found through accepting subtle absurdity into our lives. Our chosen path? Shoe on head.
This was around the same time I learned of Bitcoin. Now that I’m connecting back to the Bitcoin community, of course the subtle absurdity has returned, too.

I hear you. When I first raised my hand saying the same thing, I was pretty much told 'yup, it's complicated,' and then crickets. Ok, so as a non-technical person here's what I figured out as the easiest path:
1) Copy your private key called an nsec to your clipboard,
2) go to yakihonne.com on a desktop,
3) Login with your nsec,
4) Go to settings,
5) Go to wallet,
6) Create a NWC Yakihonne wallet,
7) Copy the NWC address (this is why you have to load the desktop version of the site. This won't show on mobile)
8) Go to your Alby portal
9) Use the NWC you just copied from your new Yakihonne wallet to Connect.
10) Now you can use your Alby extension to login and your wallet will follow you everywhere that accepts it. If you're using Primal on iOS, NWC doesn't seem to work, but otherwise there's plenty of apps that will.
Here's another thing you can do later, now that you have a Bitcoin lightning wallet, which is what these wallets are:
1) In your Alby portal, go to Connect again
2) Get your LNDHub credentials
3) Download a Bitcoin wallet like Blue Wallet phone app
4) Click on add a wallet or the plus button
5) Click on the three dots in the upper right and select Lightning
6) Add your LNDHub credentials as Your Node Address
Now you can send and receive Bitcoin outside of Nostr as well.

Watching new Nostr users flood in today is like a sneak preview play out in real time of when the traditional financial system fails the regular person.
Welcome, we’ve been expecting you. Yes, you deserved to be treated better by the other systems, but it’s their loss, not yours.
We’ll make this transition as seamless as possible. Don’t worry, almost everything is already in place.

Got it. I don't know the solution to #2. For #1, Lava apparently offers loans against self custody BTC at a reasonable rate. If someone is ok with custodial, might as well also consider just holding some BTC ETF's and borrowing against that from a large brokerage house- their rates can range from 6%-13%.

I used to serve on local government, and self driving cars came up multiple times in planning. I’ll attempt to share my observations with impartiality:
-young urban planners I’ve spoken to can see a future where cars become as expensive and impractical in modern life as horses.
-cities outlast empires because they create opportunities for unexpected opportunities when people of different backgrounds have impromptu, unexpected interactions and share ideas. When life is fully automated and planned as soon as you step out the front door, how are random interactions going to happen?
-a lot more infrastructure is necessary for this technology to be prevalent in order to handle the computational and communications requirements. Specifically edge computing data ‘centers’ and 5g cellular. Most forward thinking cities aren’t built out for this yet. Imagine freeways and smaller communities.
-see point above and look into the FCC mandates. Your local officials are legally COMPELLED to vote in favor of this infrastructure. We could not vote against certain 5g infrastructure proposals.
-the cost of transportation will diminish so much, it will improve the lives of those with limit economic opportunity.
-these vehicles will be expected to driver safer at faster speeds than humans. This means people could access more affordable housing farther away from their work, play, and necessities, without sacrificing commute time.
-parking could go away, since autonomous electric vehicles could just constantly be in motion rather than parked. Parking space is the largest obstacle to density on a property.
-the status quo is unsustainable to too many people disenfranchised by the current fiat system. But cities don’t have control over monetary policy. The levers they do have are in urban planning, local policies, and development ordinances.
-cities will fundamentally change.

Nostr represents the best of what ₿ has to offer.
It’s never too late to join.
There’s no HFSP.
There’s no ‘everyone gets Nostr at the free speech they deserve’.

When I was a younger less learned man, I saw Bitcoin was freedom.
Then I grew wiser and thought it was about money.
As my hair grayed, I saw it more as an asset to preserve.
Now, I see it is indeed freedom.

I’m undecided if Bitcoin has a higher concentration of hippy capitalist or of atheist conservatives.

2024-12-31 22:21:40

Great line from the Odell/Hodl year in review: “if you have more Bitcoin, you don’t have more power over the network.” An under appreciated point. One’s place in the Bitcoin community has nothing to do with their bag size. And with Nostr, one doesn’t even have to own ₿ to be part of the community.

Imagine being some regular Joe W-2 at a company that recently adopted a ₿ treasury practice. Your compensation historically is probably meh compared to big tech because of stock options. Then your boss comes in and says what ever stock options you have, are now going to essentially be tied to a volatile asset there’s a good chance you hate. Oh yeah, and he’s going to lever the shit out of it.
Days like today must be fun.
