There are lots of ways to address this, many of which you have named. Thinking about the specific scenarios that worry you most and then being prepared goes a long way towards peace of mind. Whether that’s carrying a firearm, having excellent self defense skills, using a multi-location multi-device multisig, or stepping up your privacy efforts.
We all know it’s a spectrum and you get out the amount of work that you put in. Lately life has been keeping me too busy for the kind of bitcoin work I was able to previously do but I also find it funny that bitcoin is largely just not cool to normies 😆 Those two things have me laying somewhat low these days, and when I do engage with people they usually are already into bitcoin. The more I do this, the less of a desire I have to shout my love for bitcoin on rooftops 😆 I mean, at the end of the day we’re all hoping for a hyperbitcoinization world right? Where everyone is a bitcoiner and it’s so normal that it’s boring to talk about! Thanks for the tag!

If you are a non-profit or a bitcoin educational group, I encourage you to use this form to apply for some free zines: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1nBsm0zhY6nY2uNvOzJzMPMF4MQ6sMtMNISFJHe7X47k
To my international friends, I am sorry to say I am currently only distributing to the US as the cost of international shipping is more than the cost to produce the zines.

Thank you for sharing this! Nothing like being repeatedly asked “did you mean to capitalize this?” 😭😅 I think your experience makes a good argument for common noun casing, something I’ve been starting to think about more.

2024-09-18 01:12:42

What’s the latest on capitalization rules for “Bitcoin”? It’s my understanding that “Bitcoin” the network is capitalized and “bitcoin” the currency is lowercase. However, that seems to have fallen out of favor with the preference to always have it lowercase.
Anyone have an opinion on this? I’m writing some copy for a project and want to follow the most widely used convention.

Dumb story time. This is really stupid and I might regret posting it on nostr where it can’t be deleted.
I was driving to get breakfast and remembered that when it comes time to order, my voice is voice is usually all crackly and “I just woke up”. I decided it would be wise to warm it up a little and sing to whatever music was on. A cover of Missionary Man by Ghost started playing and I did NOT want to be caught singing to that. Did I skip the track like a normal person? Of course not. I just tried to sing without moving my mouth. At some point, after getting through most of the song I realized I was acting like a ventriloquist, something arguably more embarrassing than being caught singing in your car. Anyway I burst out laughing and still can’t stop. Highly recommend. Everyone should experience the silliness of this at least once.

YES! I have the same question!! Was it an organic shift in user sentiment that caused Venmo and Zoom to come out on top, or was it a strategically planned thing? I guess we’ll probably never know but it feels like those apps exploded in popularity overnight.

That’s a very good question. But nobody uses PayPal 🤣

2024-08-06 12:31:39

- reply

I like that one too 😊 But I’ve come into situations where I’m often buying people things (not lunch) because they have an underlying assumption that they can pay me back in Venmo. It doesn’t usually happen more than once with the same people, but different people, over and over 🤣 Everytime I assume they just have cash so I don’t say anything but it never plays out like that, haha I’m never going to learn

2024-08-06 12:24:10

- reply

Do you think it’s a dick move to pay people back in the payment solution of your choice? I can get behind the etiquette of one side deciding how the money will be transferred but I don’t want to live in a reality where it’s Venmo only, both ways.
Thank you for saying that about PayPal! I thought I was going crazy! 😂 I was like isn’t this what we’ve been using since 2000 something?! Why and when did we make an overnight switch?!
Anyways, you’re nice and a good friend to cooperate with all payment methods 🙂

2024-08-06 12:19:43

- reply

I absolutely think demographics are at play. I don’t have evidence to support it but I suspect a lot of younger people (like gen z) are more likely to have CashApp.

2024-08-06 12:16:54

- reply

Wow! I had no idea about the fraud protection, or lack thereof. I have so many friends that use Venmo and Zelle to accept business payments. Can’t wait to inform them about this and be ignored 🥲
Good point about the comments and account flagging. The people that reply to that with “Then don’t put in any dumb comments!” remind me of the people that say you don’t need privacy if you aren’t doing anything bad.

2024-08-06 12:02:36

“Thanks for picking that up for me! I will Venmo you the money.”
“Oh I don’t have Venmo but I can do bitcoin, CashApp, or PayPal”
*radio silence*
Even if bitcoin has world-class UX, I’m not sure if we’ll ever see widespread adoption until we can figure out how to release the absolute chokehold Venmo has on people, especially millennials.
CashApp may not be self custody but at least I can live my bitcoin life if someone uses it to send me money. Venmo has normalized digital payments so much that it’s changed how people behave and has become a verb. Nobody bothers to split bills anymore and they have stopped carrying cash. Why? Because they “can just Venmo you”.
I can see stack overflow error happening in real time when I tell my friends I don’t have Venmo because I don’t believe they created the social feature in good conscience and think it’s an awful thing for Venmo to try and normalize the destruction of financial privacy. Yes, you can now make transactions private, even if it’s not the default. No, I don’t care. I’m dying in this hill. I don’t want to link my fiat ass bank account to ANOTHER system when PayPal, which owns Venmo does the exact same thing. And you know what? People have been using PayPal since the dawn of the Internet 2.0. You already have it! And if I’m going to use a newer, mobile, digital payment solution, it’s going to be CashApp because at least I can turn that money you owe me into bitcoin, which is what I actually prefer you pay me back in. To add to that, Block and Jack Dorsey have done so much for the Bitcoin ecosystem. Of course I want to support CashApp!
In my experience the hierarchy is:
1. Venmo
2. Zelle
3. Cash (middle ground for “you don’t want to set up CashApp? Weird because I don’t want to set up Venmo!”)
4. “I’ll get your lunch next time”
5. MAYBE PayPal or CashApp
6. Not getting your money back
7. bitcoin
So what do I want? Obviously the Bitcoin Standard, but if I can’t have that I want to make cash great again and more people using bitcoin compatible payment solutions.
I encourage everyone to join me in a crusade of maximum pain for anyone trying to use something that is not this. We all deserve better! A win-win would be if Venmo integrated bitcoin so then all my Venmo using friends could transact with whoever they wish, using a free and open monetary protocol.
For starters it would probably help if I was more often in the scenario of needing to pay people back instead of the other way around…

2024-08-04 11:33:44

Is there a succinct way to phrase "technical bitcoin development topics"? Is "bitcoin tech" a thing? It's the closest term I've gotten but it kind of sounds like it means nothing.

Need help with this one. What kind of animal (or insect?!) is making these scratch marks? They are only in this spot, so I’m inclined to believe it has something to do with the tiny gap between the baseboard and floor tile.
I know mice are known to fit into small spaces but this seems too small. https://image.nostr.build/7216cf491f5e135a130ce53013b7beeb561ccf441c69f94ea6b840df58d7a39c.jpg
