Saylor does raise an interesting point though. How would a 20 something year old buy an apartment without a mortgage?

Absolutely beautiful sunset today.
Still a bit chilly, but spring is definitely here.
Can’t wait for summer!

The #bitcoin ledger is growing by roughly 100GB per year.
In two years, we’re all going to have to upgrade our nodes to 2TB SSDs.
I also don’t think raspberry Pi’s will be a viable option any longer. The Pi 4 took a whole week to sync both the node and electrum.

Time to do some late night UTXO consolidating.

@npub1s5y…6q7z
Thanks for doing a great episode about Primal.
Installed Primal before, but never really gave it a try due to having used Damus for all this time.
Will be giving Primal s try from now on 😁

Wow… #bitcoin

When consolidating UTXOs, what’s an ideal amount of sats that you all go for?
1 million?
10 million?
More? Less? Somewhere in between?
1 million sats is roughly USD$370 right now. Therefore, it should technically reach at least USD$1000 USD after the next halving.
Please give suggestions. Much appreciated.

Saw this on twitter and just wanted to share it here with everyone.
Henry Ford pretty much described #bitcoin back in 1921.
A century later, what he wanted to do was accomplished by Satoshi Nakamoto, with help from the cypherpunks.
For 15 years and counting, users of this beautiful protocol continue to grow, and its value continue to accrue.
I have never been so hopeful for the future as I am today. Thank you all for allowing me to take this journey with you. 🫡🤙🤙🤙 https://cdn.nostr.build/i/c6be4e87981ce09e3fa35b665cfedd737683ab2ef4bee9dfaf941a7d7a51429e.jpg

I just discovered the concept of adding a passphrase to protect your seed phrase and it is blowing my mind 🤯
Damn it, I love #bitcoin!

This little thing came in the mail yesterday.
Running a traditional miner at home isn’t feasible for me at the moment, but I’m happy to do whatever I can to support the most important protocol of our generation.
Also, it’s great knowing that no matter how low the probability may be, there is a chance that I might get a valid block.
Love the community that we have here. Tick-tock, next block!

I will be migrating my #bitcoin from a ledger to a jade.
Is there anything I should be watching out for?
Should I set up a completely new set of seed phrases, or should I just recover using the ones I already have?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I’m on this beta right now. Pretty stable.

People think that just buy #bitcoin and you’re all good.
Um…no.
You gotta get your life on track too!
You can’t just buy #bitcoin, still be a net consumer, and expect everything to just turn out fine.
You have to get your personal finance in check and make sure to be a net producer.
If not, sooner or later, you’ll be forced to sell your #bitcoin. https://nostr.build/i/9979622a1d541f2aa4fa073a954235e725c867431da488144ed1c1faa9776ea0.jpg

Go to Settings in Damus and then Zaps.
There is an option for #onlyzaps
Turn it on, and voila!

The hard truth is that most people will always choose the high time preference path first.
Coming from a fiat mindset, they will opt to “invest” (gamble) with crypto scams, all in an effort to make more fiat.
But when we really think about it, which crypto project has ever achieved what is promised in its white paper?
People need to understand that #bitcoin works just like how money is supposed to work. It promises nothing but to be a replacement to the easily manipulated fiat currencies that we are forced to use today.
When you truly understand #bitcoin, you’ll understand just how important this protocol is.
#bitcoin is not crypto. It is simply another form of money that has an immutable monetary policy.

It’s amazing to witness #Bitcoin twitter migrating to #NOSTR.
Recent shenanigans pulled by Elon will probably force even more bitcoiners over here.
NOSTR is essentially all signal, while twitter is becoming worse by the day.

So now we know why banks aren’t raising their interest rates for savings accounts: the majority of their revenue comes from net interest margins.
Since the banks hold lots of long term treasuries/mortgage backed securities, as rates went up, those assets got devalued, causing them to go under water.
The only reason they can continue to hold those assets is because they can listed them as unrealized losses not sit balance sheet.
If banks raised rates, they would start running deficits, which is bad for business.
The irony here is that since the banks can’t raise interest rates, their customers are taking their money elsewhere to generate higher yield.
This loss in deposits is forcing the banks to sell their under water assets, turning unrealized losses to actual losses.

NOSTR is a place where people will send you the hardest money in history for simply saying something.
Doesn’t matter if it’s insightful, funny, stupid, trolling, etc. So long as it provides value, you will het value back.
That is fucking awesome.

I just run an Umbrel node, and they have an app for running a private relay. It's made from a raspberry Pi 4 8GB, and a 1TB SSD. You can check out their website here: https://umbrel.com/

You may need to run a NOSTR relay. I had the same issue until I started running my own NOSTR relay on my Umbrel.

That’s a very good point.
Like you said, AI right now can be described as a Jack of all trades, but master of none.
What it does really well right now is the ability to complete tasks on our behalf. But information gathering seem to be its weak point.
What I am afraid of is when we start to take whatever AI gives us as an answer as correct.

Just curious, why do people prefer Start9 over Umbrel?
I’ve now seen multiple people start with Umbrel but are now switching over to Start9.
