Zyns give you a nice buzz or what?

How will nation states deal with Bitcoin custody?
If it's just in a wallet the President controls, that seems like a risk to the country.
If it's the Treasury, then who at the Treasury has the keys?
If it’s multisig, who has the keys?
Will an institution like Coinbase act as a custodian? If so, who directs the custodian? The president? The president and someone else? Does congress have a roll?
In Bukele's case, what if he contested an election and refused to give up custody?

Anyone out there willing to explain Lightening vs Liquid for me? They are both layer two solutions, correct? In which case they are basically competing against each other to be the main layer two solution for fast-cheap bitcoin transactions? Or are the complementary in some way? Thanks

Vegas says there are 16-1 odds on @npub1hq0…f9mp winning.
That’s 16-1 odds on the the largest economy in the world voting in a proBitcoin and Nostr president.
He’s said he will make Bitcoin capital gains tax free, meaning you could use it as an actual currency and perhaps even use it to back the USD. 😂 Can you imagine?
He’s getting support from some serious big dogs too, like Bill Ackman.

I think the bigger risk is that depending on how many 'coins' are in the Trust, they may actually influence which fork becomes 'Bitcoin' and if that new forked version is less secure, or has some other flaw, etc. it could ruin Bitcoin.
To play this out, consider if Roger Ver was the person running the BlackRock trust. Would he have 'won' the fork wars? What would that mean for Bitcoin post fork, if BlackRock supported what is now Bitcoin Cash.... would it have just become Bitcoin?

After RFK Jr. recommended it on the All In Pod, I read 'JFK and the Unspeakable'.
Defiantly worth the read.
Presents and interesting history of the events around JFK's assassination and a 'who dun it' theory. A theory that RFK Jr. subscribes to.

Ppl I talk to still get confused, thinking Sats are some other crypto “like” Bitcoin. Bits would be waaaay easier to explain.

Just rediscovered Brave browser and forgot it does an awesome job at blocking YouTube ads. I think it stopped and now it works again?
It basically gives you YouTube Premium. Pretty sweet.

‘During the pandemic’ moved from #Toronto to #VancouverIsland. Best decision of my life, and I’ve made some good ones.
Congested traffic ridden streets with absurd real estate prices to living by the ocean, hiking mountains after work, hanging on the beach and paying only just shy of absurd real estate prices. 😂 https://nostr.build/i/13d91b0cd0728164ba9632b4498006e6e471e247f7b67f08780da5fc9634f55f.jpg

I know someone in Canada looking to buy real estate in El Salvador because of the Bitcoin friendly laws.
Anyone got insights into how Bitcoin beach is doing? Is there a legit Bitcoin spending economy there? Anyone have recent photos of what is going on there?

Sell some or all of the shares you still own in Twitter and use the funds to help build out Nostr, relays etc?
https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/01/tech/twitter-jack-dorsey-elon-musk/index.html
Elon ignored your ideas on an open protocol before he bought Twitter anyways.
The ostrich may grow to be a bigger bird and have a larger impact on free speech, privacy and society at large.

Woah, just realized how much better the global feed is when you filter by paid relay.

Quick thoughts on Nostr #privacy
The list of relays you connect to are easy to uncover.
Just put any user’s pubkey into a client like iris.to and you can see a list of relays they connect to. For example, I can see #[1] (Snowden) connects to wss://relay.damus.io operated by #[2] (infamous William Casarin), and 3 others.
Just like plaintiffs lawyers and governments target Twitter with subpoenas and warrants for information on users, they will target relay operators as well.
If relay operators have logs of your IP address, you should assume your IP won’t be hard to uncover if a subpoena or warrant is issued to a relay operator. Take that IP to an ISP and it won’t be hard to figure out who you are and/or where you are.
If you care about privacy, this means who your relay operator is and where they are located may matter. #[3], operating the Damus relay appears to be in Canada. In theory, anyone could apply to a Canadian court to subpoena information from him.
While I am sure Snowden is doing crazy things to hide any IP from his relays, the point is, the average, person isn’t; whether it’s a human rights organization, trucker convoy or dissident.
Not to be a party pooper, but just some thoughts for people who may be using Nostr for something other than Midjourney digital art ostrich pictures. My latest favourite:

Noob question here, if you set up an Umbrel Nostr relay, can anyone connect to it? Or can I restrict it hosting only my own notes?

2023-01-08 23:51:07

Does a relay server log IP addresses? Will relay operators start getting subpoenas? Even if they can’t decrypt messages, will law enforcement want metadata logged by the relay (IP addresses, etc.)? Is there a public record of what relay was used by a user for a specific note or event? How hard would it be to track down the physical location of that relay server operator? #DevilsAdvocate

To add a profile picture, go to your Twitter account, click on your PFP, then right click and select “Open image in new tab.” Copy and past the image link into the Image field. You can use any image URL (i.e. ending in .jpeg, .png) but pulling from Twitter is the easiest way for most people.
