The comments are cute. “Just close your account.” “Just go to a different bank.” “He must be a criminal, this isn’t the banks fault it’s the authorities suspecting him of crime. “
Motherfuckers have gotten too soft and comfortable thinking life is that easy and everyone is free.
ITS MY MONEY AND I WANT IT NOW, like the old commercial goes. Stop being an apologist for authoritarian states and fiat bankers.
Give yer balls a tug.

The secret to success is just pulling numbers out of your ass, making vague statements, and having delusions of grandeur.

furthermore, fuck suits. "oohhhh Zelensky you didn't wear a suit like us big manly men" well I didn't notice no shitass spray tan either or whatever fucking eyeliner JD Vance wears.
I don't wear suits, once or twice for a wedding or something I've rented one, but I am decidedly blue collar and I don't pretend to be something I'm not.
Suits are the ones behind enshittification of everything.. Suits are the ones regulating without understanding. Suits are the rapists, the pedophiles, the sex traffickers, the economic terrorists behind every financial crisis in history. Behind all the money printing, the rules for thee and not for me, the endless wars and politicking, you'll find a suit -- maybe a pantsuit, but a suite nonetheless.
"the suit makes the man." no, the suit is a warning.
I'm wary of guys in suits, and I think everyone else should be too. What makes the man is the quality and integrity of his actions, not the suit. The suit is a distraction, like the wolf in sheep's clothing.

Preach. If I had my wallet fixed I’d zap this. It’s important to consider people outside this sphere who are nontechnical. I may disagree with lots of them but I support their right to privacy.

Can you not get credit? Even @nprofile…za3a lives on a credit card. Borrow trash dollars, pay off the credit each month, if you don’t want taxable events hold just enough dollars to meet your bills and put the rest in Bitcoin.
Most credit cards give you points or cash back, but these points are often devalued with little notice, or are complicated—have to use certain cards for specific categories, or for travel you have to transfer points to specific partners, calculate the value yourself, etc, on top of any annual fees.
That all just muddies the water and makes the true value of a credit card harder to see. I like that Fold is just giving a flat 2% back in Bitcoin. No categories, no juggling cards.
One card, clear rewards: 2% back in Bitcoin, more valuable than cash or made up points.

GM nostr!
gonna take this opportunity to shill the greatest keyboard imo: https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com
I switched back for a couple days to my old Apple Magic Keyboard. Can't do it. While I appreciate the slimness, I get wrist and shoulder pain, especially on the right (mouse) side, and the UHK completely alleviates this. It's a more natural position for me and I also use the two modules so I can scroll and mouse around without leaving homerow. Will probably buy a couple more eventually out of fear the company goes out of business. Not interested in building my own keyboard so while the price is steep, it's well worth it to me.

Kinda. Read a lot, listened to a lot of podcasts etc. Been on the sidelines a while. Had paper hands in 2021.
I think I let the mainstream economists and all the other doubters get to me tbh.

2025-02-15 22:19:57

I’ll admit I still oscillate between “I am absolutely certain of Bitcoin’s success” and “Maybe I am actually crazy for putting my retirement money into this”
I can’t be the only one right?

2025-02-14 13:59:19

GM! Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee, or some sats.

Yeah I think parent/child is the way to go and was surprised it doesn’t already work like that.

anytime I see people hating on capitalism I can't help but think maybe it isn't he capitalism but the fact that the entire system depends on cheap debt and money printing.
maybe if parting with money actually had a cost, we'd have less waste. less malinvestment. maybe if you couldn't subsidize your corporate losses, maybe if the government couldn't bail you out at the expense of plebs, maybe people would stop blaming capitalism.
it should hurt and give pause to part ways with real money.

Zeus said using Alby is custodial. I thought Albyhub is noncustodial?
I obviously have a lot to learn, but after hearing so many people praise Lightning and Alby, I feel like it’s still not ready for the average user. I don’t mind self hosting and a little risk I do the wrong thing, but for most people it’ll be a pain.
Messed up the mounts in pod man and when restarting my hub I opened a channel twice, $40 or so total, and can’t find any clear way to view the on-chain details. Will those channels close after inactivity? Does it go back to the on-chain Alby wallet?

Pi is less recommended these days. Snag a Beelink NUC with an n200 and 16gb RAM, throw a 1-2TB SSD in it and you’re cooking with room to spare.

Before I deleted my Reddit account, I was feeling down pretty often. My subs were mostly doom and gloom and /r/all was the same.
I’m trying to change careers late in life, and Reddit is filled with fresh grads saying that coding is DEAD, there is no future for comp sci or programming, AI is going to kill and enslave is all…
I saw someone claim to be a senior at a FAANG company even say “most of the code has been written, there is no low-hanging fruit” and soon human programmers would be some uber-elite few.
Maybe they’re right.
I’m only on Nostr now, and I’m less stressed about the future. Ignorance is bliss, I guess, and all the doom and gloom from Reddit or twitter is out of my view for the most part.
I have a lot to learn, like math which was a weak point for me, but I’m excited for the future. I’ve learned you can mostly learn anything, it’s just hard work.
Proof of Work yields rewards. You have to expend the energy, you have to trade your time to do something hard that may seem pointless but is in the service of some higher purpose.

I’m not sure but interested in this too. You could use a stamping kit from harbor freight or something to put it on steel. I’d like to see this be a feature in a hardware wallet tbh.

I should quit worrying so much.

Do you think assets like stocks, bonds, etc will end up tokenized? If so, is it going to be on one chain, or many?
Etherealize (eth's new marketing foundation) says "All roads lead to Ethereum".
I know RGB, Taproot Assets, and others exist but I'm not too knowledgeable about the process. All the hype I see is about this stuff being built on Eth/SOL, and I don't understand why those people aren't taking advantage of what already exists in Bitcoin.

Interesting. I like the QR and TOTP capabilities but not sure I'd even utilize the QR stuff, at least at this point in life. I've been happy with the Trezor Safe 3 with bitcoin-only firmware so far.

Agree with @npub1f6u…zcka it’s a nice idea but a real bitch in practice. I like jack maller’s approach of living on credit, getting paid in Bitcoin, selling just enough to cover the months bills. You could use Fold as your only tie to fiat, any credit card as a necessary evil, and get 90% of the way there.
