Alright, #asknostr.
I’ve watched dozens of YouTube videos and tried plenty different methods but still cannot perfect it - how do I cook a perfect fried egg?
I’ve used nonstick and stainless feel pans and played with warming the pan before yet still struggle half the time.
My biggest issues are smoking oil and the egg still sticking to my pan. I prefer to avoid butter if I can thanks to some gallbladder issues but ultimately just want a tried and true method for not getting frustrated with an egg sticking to my pan.
So stainless steel? Nonstick? Medium heat, low heat or high heat?

I'm usually hesitant but feel really bullish right now. Different story below $58k but price action the last couple weeks has me feeling demand has exceeded supply again for the first real time since March - Crazy to think we've been ranging for as long as we have!

Quite possible do you have a source you can share? I’d love to review it.
The number I share is ‘reachable’ nodes from bitnodes.io. I do think there are many more ‘private’ nodes that can’t be reached.

22% increase in the price of 1 BTC per USD. Wild.
Hash rate continues to chop, address count chop, LN nodes first slight increase in quite some time. It's been 4 weeks exactly since I said I'm cautious here on price around ~$43k with rates and USD ripping. "Queue run to $70k" I said in that report, as a contra trade to my bearish thinking. Well, here we are!
Not sure what to think anymore but I'm still not super duper bullish so I guess we have more room to run?
Have a great week!

Happy Monday! The Lions gave us all a tough ending to the week last night over here in Michigan, shouldn't have expected a different outcome I suppose but the buzz around the state was real. Here's to another shot next year. 🍻
Full nodes drop again for the 3rd straight week, now down about 10% since this damn ETF launch. I know this stat is kinda useless because we can't monitor Private/Tor nodes but I still like to monitor. This is the lowest number in the 31 weeks I've been doing this, only under 16k briefly back in August 23. Will continue to watch and report, obviously I like to see this number get bigger over time.
Hashrate bounces back, aggressively. BTC looks cheap compared to hashrate again, going back to levels seen around Thanksgiving. Interesting, addresses greater than 1M sats dropped significantly, the most since I've been doing this yet over 10M and over 100M increased slightly. I'm just going to try to find ways to blame this ETF it seems going forward, I'll get over it eventually. Have a great week and do something fun.

A little late this week (again) but we're still here (again). Wild (or not, depending on your time preference) past week from a price standpoint, all the hype for $50k and that OG Bitcoiners were getting calls to sell their BTC because the custodians couldn't buy enough to fill the demand was kind of funny. Surprise, hello $40k, and quickly! We're hovering at a pretty crucial area $42k-$44k and I don't have strong conviction on if we breakdown or not. So I will continue to DCA.
FWIW - I'm happy the ETF narrative is done but I really don't like where I feel this is going. Centralized custody of BTC and a continued narrative that the only use case is for criminals or money laundering will only get bigger and bigger over the next year, in my humble opinion. I hold my stack in self-custody but it sure feels that outlawing self-custody in the US is the path we're headed down, it really would be the only attempt to 'stop' this thing if I was a politician concerned w/ losing my ability to control the monetary policy. I DO believe we will prevail in numbers but it's a scary thought, the path of getting there. /End rant/
Back to the report, we still see declines (quite large) in all address counts. I don't really understand why. Hashrate continues to rip! Oh, and I'm earning some fees again with some routing activity. Very volatile stat but fun to watch regardless.
I hope everyone can find some balance in their day/week. We have about 2.5 / 3 feet of snow and I was able to take my dog out today to admire the beauty of snow-covered trees. Cheers.

Full nodes count bounced back up which is nice to see. LN capacity dipped below the psychological level of 5,000 BTC for the first time since 10/1/23 after that big spike up from ~4,700. We topped out at about $5,400 at the end of Nov. and have just drifted down since. Not sure this metric makes a ton of difference at the current stages - More important that we're using the capital more and more in addition to growing capacity. Still interesting to note big swings in the network 'size' - Price has an impact on this though as well obviously. Less BTC required as fiat value increases as much as it has since Oct.
Addresses all tick up, good to see. I'm VERY curious in watching these numbers in the coming months after spot ETF approval. I still don't like it but that's neither here nor there. I'm a free market guy at the end of the day.
Lastly, we can all laugh at my routing node activity again. It sure isn't easy to run a node and not lose money but I still do it, not sure why.
Cheers on getting back to the short work week for some, finish it out strong! Oh, and the #runningbitcoinchallenge kicks off tomorrow so I will be getting my runs in over the next week!

Feel like a broken record on this topic but not a fan of spot ETFs. Taking the self custody out of #bitcoin is like taking the chicken out of chicken noodle soup. It sucks. It’s not bitcoin without self custody

I don’t want a spot ETF because it subverts one of, if not the most, important qualities of #Bitcoin - self custody.
Is there a case as to why a spot ETF is good for bitcoin that I’m missing? Outside of the initial increase in price?

2023-06-19 10:53:18

It’s the absolute best watching how quickly this space pivots. Censoring is a problem? Oh, we’ll build our own decentralized media platform and call it Nostr, allowing anyone to run a relay from across the globe and contribute to hosting the network.
Taking away our ability to transact value for value in a truly peer to peer fashion where there is ZERO need for a middle party to take their fee/cut? We’ll just focus on spreading the word about Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and improve this technology to avoid the fucking Apple App Store all together.
It’s truly fascinating, the intelligence and innovation in the #bitcoin space all while maintaining a common value for avoiding centralization. I love being a fly on the wall just trying to keep up

2023-06-13 13:05:50

It may be a different take but the reality is Apple built and owns the App Store and can choose every single app they want or don’t want on it. Now I certainly don’t agree with the decision to remove Damus but I’m hesitant on moaning and complaining too much when in a free market they have every right to choose who can or can’t use their products and services.
I’ll vote and express my opinion with my money (whatever form that may be)

Why is wallet of Satoshi custodial? The custom LN addresses look cool but with so many other options out there why is a custodial wallet the primary wallet so many bitcoiners are using?

2023-06-05 18:34:37

Stacked a good amount of sats on the discount and still have some powder awaiting the $23k mark if we’re lucky enough to get there.
Depositing cash into Strike and paying myself through a LN invoice on #Muun is still the fastest and cheapest way I’ve found to get sats into personal custody.

Great post by #[0] https://medium.com/breez-technology/we-need-more-apps-with-lightning-not-more-lightning-apps-b5f37f9ac8bd
“The other road to mainstream adoption is utility — leveraging Lightning’s strengths and our technological acumen to make it more useful. Maximizing utility doesn’t require convincing people that this or that idea is superior; it just requires making their lives better in some way and letting the free market do its thing.”
I’m all about the free market doing it’s thing and excited to see how utility drives #lightningnetwork adoption.

Increase money -> spend money
Decrease money -> don’t spend
This conceptually makes sense. What about the concerns of people not wanting to spend due to their money continuing to appreciate, i.e., the deflationary spiral? I’ve read before that this theory has its flaws that people will always need to spend in some fashion for basic necessities and such. What are your thoughts on this?
I’m not sure I follow the analogy to distributing wealth towards miners? Can you elaborate a little?

2023-03-27 19:43:56

Has #[0] written anything about reserve currencies that have an in elastic supply such as gold or fixed supply such as Bitcoin?
Are there other resources that expand on this topic? Continually trying to harden and challenge my position that BTC could be a reserve currency but admittedly don’t fully understand in practice how a currency with a fixed supply will succeed.
Money printer = bad is easy for me to understand but how does a fixed currency supply fix this is more challenging, specially on the longer end of the spectrum

2023-03-14 16:29:21

Feels like deja vu. Bonds getting smoked, (2 year yield up over 10%). Gold flat to mildly down. And ‘shit’Ike ARKK/TSLA/NDQ pumping.
What comes next? Can’t wait for BTC to get out of this correlation but I’m not seeing it right now. Fortunately it doesn’t matter, just allows me to stack more sats for cheaper if I’m right.
