Yeah I think this would be beneficial. I had basically a cash sinking fund that I would stuff money into. And you don't touch it.
You use something like Ally bank? Don't they let you categorize your money like this?

2024-05-28 23:51:21

How do you budget or plan to spend your money monthly?
Cash envelopes, software?

I can't send any on chain transactions from my core lightning node on Start9. I always get an error. I've tried it in Zeus and the UI on the node.
I have sats in the onchain balance and nothing in lightning.
Any tips to sweep the funds to a different wallet?

Is there a way to connect Zeus to core lightning that's running on a @npub126n…e9ll node with Tailscale instead of Tor. It's so slow!!

I'm using Start9. Downloaded core and electrs. I'm trying to connect to it with the Green app and it won't connect.
I'm using the hostname and port from properties. The xxxxxx.onion:50001
Any tips to get it to connect? Everything is running and green.

I saw that Fold let's you buy and sell Bitcoin that you can use on your card right away with no transaction fee, but you do have a monthly fee

2023-12-17 22:27:07

Can some explain to me why fees will continue to rise in terms of total sats if the price of Bitcoin goes up?
I get why it will never be 1 sat per byte again if it gets more use.
But when Bitcoin is 2 million per coin, the price in total sats to settle on chain could be less or more depending on demand.
So wouldn't your 100k sat UTXO be fine? It will still cost more in fiat terms but total sats should be less of Bitcoin is worth more?
Am I crazy?

2023-12-13 15:16:35

Besides having to buy Bitcoin to seed a new ETF. Do ETFs have to keep buying more bitcoin if people buy more shares?

We had bad storms about a week ago. Some tornado warnings and stuff. One of the trees on the side of the house snapped in half. Luckily it fell away from the house.
The tree was already dead, that's the reason it broke. But now I get to bust out the chainsaw and get some fire wood.

I don't think there is a big difference but there might be a small difference for you going from a woman pfp to anon.
Just look at Bitcoin Twitter when some accounts switched their pfps to women they got more engagement.
