Good morning from Bitcoin Atlantis https://image.nostr.build/a56913bf6f2fcb33bd7f2edf03126cd259ded7ba26357c5f937b188ace7cb3c7.jpg

Hi! I’m having a great day. I hope you are too!

2023-08-15 12:03:03

GM!
Did you know that you are the CEO of your own happiness and the OWNER of your own joy?
If there is a job, person, or experience in your life that you does not serve, celebrate, or honor you -- stop complaining and change it.
Life is never fair. And you often can't change the cards you are dealt. But you CAN show up to the game prepared to play an amazing hand.
Be well & make it a great #Bitcoin day!

@oi Thank you for the PUSH! It took forever —but we are FINALLY on Nostr!!!

2023-05-25 13:41:33

GM! Life is so short.
Go outside and sit in the sun.
Rest.
Relax and smell the flowers.
Hug your friends & family members.
Tell them how much you care and have a great #bitcoin day.#bitcoin #vitaminb2023 https://nostr.build/i/e5ce60d078eb1b5ad8d78fa4e869000e69e60a0b01d21f20325fbbede2e97543.jpg

Lightning allows for scale and speed for sure. But just like here you have to meet people where they are. And you are assuming everyone has access to Lightning and they don’t.
Binance (one of the highest volume exchanges in Africa) is not using Lightning right now. Seems like they are working on it. Until that happens Their customers are getting killed in fees.

A few things -one there are still so so many African Bitcoiners transacting on the main chain. High on chain fees will likely lead to switching to stablecoins or much worse back to fiat.
And even folks using Lightning now have reported network instability in this new environment.

2023-05-12 13:37:50

Hi #[0]. What are the benefits and disadvantages of #bitcoin ordinals ?

2023-05-12 13:35:23

High Tx fees driven by Bitcoin ordinal demands are hurting African #Bitcoiners, that transact on-chain.
We say want to fix Africa’s broken payment system & the minute we have the chance—GREED clouds the better judgment of far too many. 😖#bitcoin

GM! Just popping into say that Nostr is really coming along with the new features!!

This is a great idea! Let’s make it happen.

Unpopular opinion: FedNow is the superhero we need to save us from a U.S. CBDC.
(Full Disclosure- I used to work for the Fed)
I used to think FedNow was the pre- plumbing of a CBDC -but that’s not right at all.
Here is why:
1. FedNow modernizes interbank payments making them 24/7, 365 days/week
2. FedNow is OPTIONAL for banks.
3. The Fed has been using tech from the 1970s(ACH) for payment. (yikes)
4. Payment challenges during COVID highlighted how unmodern the tech was. This accelerated FedNow dev work.
5. The core rationale for a CBDC, is for instant 24/7 bank payments —-which matches the main use case for FedNow.
6. If FedNow works as planned it could make the development of a CBDC obsolete —-saving millions of tax payer dollars. #bitcoin

I agree with this!! We are killing ourselves with low quality, sugary, low nutrient food.

There are so many Bitcoiners,like Ray, who are focused on doing the right thing - for the Global South -Africa, Latin America, India- for the communities that need it the most.
Paxful might be gone, but the fight continues.

I’m just worried about so many of my friends & colleagues that worked there. I’m so appreciate of the amazing work of Ray & the awesome Paxful team.

2023-04-05 19:01:42

I’m still in my feeling about the loss of Paxful. It is all very very sad.

Ok. Ordinals may not be so bad after. #bitcoin

Can someone plot the Nostr adoption curve? The speed has been crazy!

GM to those who ask why not YOU. You have everything you need to GREAT. Remember dreamers, you are already enough — so make it a great #Bitcoin day. #vitaminb #vitaminb2023

Everyone thinks they have the solution to “fix” Africa.
But the data shows that Africa has already made its choice.
A truly decentralized, sound hard money that protects the purchasing power of the people. #bitcoin.

Oh the irony of it all. Nigeria’s bank note ban — which was supposed to decrease large scale currency fraud and vote-buying —has created new counterfeiting scammers to prey on vulnerable consumers.
#Bitcoin fixes this.

2023-02-17 15:39:45

The truth will set you FREE —but first it will make you mad.
Dev. loans & aid are tools of the West to secure dollar dominance & keep African countries impoverished.
#Bitcoin is a better option, it is a currency designed for global trade in Africa. This is why we #bitcoin.

Same. The opportunities are endless. It’s nice for something to be brand new again, right?

2023-02-17 13:00:09

GM. Today is a new day. Another day change to turn the page, crush a goal, or change your heart. Life is so short. Make sure you are creating moments that matter. Stay purposeful & make it a great #Bitcoin day. #vitaminb #vitaminb2023

2023-02-17 12:49:53

Imagine the audacity of using #Bitcoin block space for pay-to-play art when banking, payments & global trade is broken all over the world and #Bitcoin represents our best chance to fix it. #bitcoin #ordinals

2023-02-17 12:46:49

Them:#Bitcoin has no real use cases.
Us:#Bitcoin needs Nigeria & Nigeria needs Bitcoin.🇳🇬
[They made us put all our money into our accounts, and now we can't access it. It's unbearable, says Osarenoma Kolawole,40] If there is any bright side to this chaos, I believe it will accelerate #Bitcoin adoption & self-custody practices in Nigeria.
