Well, it was the price going up. It was gambling for me at first to make more money. I bought for 100 and sold for 300 at that time, thought I was just lucky and wanted to never touch it again. That was 2020 before the bull run.
Then Covid came in along and I had more time. Also clubhouse had its short hype. There were people talking about bitcoin in german. They educated people. Real Bitcoiners.
I got very very curious and completely fell into the rabbit hole. I think the main point that made me curious was the governments printing a lot of money at the beginning of covid. That will lead to a massive inflation I thought. Now we have it a few years later.

Wouldn’t workers profit the most from a deflation?

2023-05-21 16:53:40

One idea I have: during a price deflation (what we will probably have in a Bitcoin Standard), for a company all prices of their input would go down and they can produce their output more cheaply.
But the workers are not okay with lower wages.
So wouldn’t it happen that all prices go down but the workers would still get the same amount of sats for their work? Wouldn’t real wages go up?
Wouldn’t the workers need to work less and less to finance their lifestyle?

Where can you already buy Bitcoin with Lightning? The cherry on top would be on regular basis like a standing order.

I now use the following in self custody on my own hardware:
- Vaultwarden with encrypted backups on a USB Stick
- Nextcloud
- Bitbox Hardware Wallet with Steel Wallet as Backup
- Bitcoin and Lightning Node
- lightning address using my own domain
- TOTP for 2FA with encrypted backups inside my Nextcloud (I am switching to a hardware key later if possible); without saving the password in my Vaultwarden of course
Anything missing? I am maxing out self custody and security at the moment.

2023-04-25 09:36:41

- reply

I‘ll try OTP Auth for now as you can easily create and restore encrypted backups and do not have to use any cloud service.

You will always choose in the direction of what you believe is more pleasurable and move away from the direction you believe is more painful.
So in a situation where you know that you act differently than you want to, give you a moment of pause and ask yourself:
“What would I have to believe is true for me to react to the situation the way I did?”
This will transform your belief system and thus your personality and thus your life.

2023-04-12 01:05:51

Doubt is not a lack of trust. Doubt is a 100% trust in a belief that doesn’t work for you.

Well, i had both: days where I am focused af working on one thing. And days were I distract myself just the whole time and don’t get anything done.
Comparing these days I noticed a few things:
1. How I start the day. When I do my morning routine (which includes cold showering and meditation), I can be super focused. Otherwise when I just chill in my bed in the morning watching some YouTube videos and then start my day, I am not.
2. Where I have my phone. When it is right there on the table, I grab it almost automatically all the time. Just a bad habit. When I place it in another room - or even behind my laptop where I cannot see it - I just don’t use it. It makes a lot of difference for me!
3. How much stress I make myself. On days where I stress myself, because I need to do something what I really have to finish that day, then I am less productive ironically. When I get myself to take it easy and forget about the deadline and be in the flow, it just works better. And because I am not that productive when I am stressed, I am even more stressed because I am unproductive. Its a death spiral.

Today is my last day in a 9 to 5 job. From now on I work as a freelancer. With a lot of headache I got my first project for the next 2.5 months.
Not easy to get in there but I feel it’s the right way for me. I would regret to not even have tried it when I am old and close to death.
Wish me luck!

Thats so true. How often did I find an opportunity through other people only because I openly talked about my ideas and what I truly want to achieve? Its crazy.

If you want to know whats the best oil for cooking, watch this: https://youtu.be/pljQrjiDC9Q
95% of all chronic diseases relates to inflammation. And refined oils are pro-inflammatory.
Basically the refining process makes oils unhealthy just to get the last drop of oil out of the plant. Refined oil is my definition of fiat oil.

Ok I figured out how it works. You need to use the pub key as hex. Does it work for you now?

I have done the NIP-05 verification using my own domain and a btcpay plugin. Does it work for you? Do you see my profile as “verified”?

I’m now using whisperwind@zapping.rocks as my lightning address 🤘

2023-03-04 16:26:00

I’m now the proud owner of the domain zapping.rocks where my lightning address lives in the near future.
If someone is interested, I can host a web service where you can register your own lightning address and use this domain as well. But not until I have time for that.

2023-03-04 15:18:13

Nostr in combination with zaps is creating a place of great, accurate, helpful information.
Hate in the Internet will go down dramatically as you could as well give a useful answer so earn some sats.
With zaps everyone is incentivized to give helpful answers. So keep zapping!

In deed, the way you described would work to keep you anonymous. Of course only if you keep that coins seperated from the kyc coins.
But it is still better to directly buy the coins without kyc, as nobody can find put how much you actually own.
CoinJoins are still better for large amounts though as the lightning network still has its limits.

2023-03-04 12:20:04

- reply

That’s actually a great use case for nostr:
Ask a question or write about a problem where you need help with. People are incentivized to give a useful answer.
And if you think the answer helped you, you can zap the amount you think it was worth.

Thank you.
Maybe my phone plays a big role in it as I use it in bed. Especially when you mention this anchoring thing. Never thought about anchoring being in bed for sleep only to sleep faster.
Even though I do my diary on my phone. Maybe just not doing it in bed then?
I also switched to e books only.
Do you think that going back to analogue books and diary would help as well?
So what I will try next is:
- writing diary 1 hour before bed and outside of my bed. After that I turn off all screens.
- never do anything else than sleeping in bed. Not checking my phone in the morning. That should create this anchor in the long run that bed means sleep.
- meditate before going to bed and concentrate on my body.
Let’s see how it goes.

2023-03-04 08:25:28

I’m now using my own node for Zaps instead of #[0]
It works with my BTCPay Server now where you can generate your own lightning address if you have a domain.
The reason that I switched has nothing to do with WoS though. It always works great for so many people!
It’s more because of self sovereignty. That means that me and only me has the control over my own money. This is what Bitcoin makes possible. Don’t forget that!

2023-03-03 22:19:48

#[0] what do you do to make your brain stop thinking so that you can finally sleep? Maybe you can answer me that one.
I’m trying writing it all down in some kind of diary now, let’s see if it helps.
Sometimes I just can’t stop thinking and that’s annoying.

Oh and it includes some kind of counter so that I can use my copied tag only once. And only before the actual card was used again.

2023-02-28 18:47:04

I successfully copied my bolt card to a normal ISO7816 tag using iOS. 🥳
But I still did not figure out how to write on the bolt card itself under iOS. Its a different kind of tag with special security features so that you can only overwrite it if you know the password basically.

Another thing to consider regarding sleep (you can call it life hack) is that a whole sleep cycle takes about 90 minutes. Thats why it is better to sleep 7.5h instead of 8h because you are in the middle of the cycle for the latter.
That way you will always wake up in a light sleep state theoretically. I tried that the last years and most of the time it works great.
And in combination with a fixed schedule, I don’t even need an alarm clock anymore.

2023-02-26 23:22:14

I finally connected my Bolt Card to my lightning node using LNBits 🥳
If you want to know how this works, just comment or send me a pm. Android phone needed though for writing the card (for now).
Maybe I can get the writing of the card to work on iOS. Don’t know how to write the K0 - K2 entries yet. Maybe someone of you knows it?
If I get it to work I will publish it on GitHub and upload the app to testflight. Lets see.

That does make no sense. If this is ying and yang, Bitcoin would be the opposite of nostr. Ying and yang is more like:

People always forget that this principle goes even further:
20% of 20% = 4%
80% of 80% = 64%
-> 4% of your work results in 64% of your result
20% of 4% = ~1 %
80% of 64% = 51%
-> 1% of your work results in 51% of your result
