Has anyone given Bitcoin as a gift to family/friends who really don’t care about it? I’ve always wanted to do this, put it in a cold card or other signing device and give it to them for Christmas but I’m not sure how they would react.

Vivek Ramaswamy tweeted that if he’s elected he would pardon Ross Ulbricht, Julian Assange, and Edward Snowden (among others). First time I’ve heard a politician even mention Ross by name since he was put in jail.

How tf is “hereinabove” one word

I find it interesting that as soon as black rock embraced Bitcoin, “peer-reviewed” studies about Bitcoin’s positive role in renewable expansion began popping up. Could be a coincidence, could be to help black rock maintain ESG standing. Either way, I like.

Life advice:

They’re saying the national gas average is $3.85 and I wanna know where tf the gas stations are that are only charging $3.85. I haven’t seen gas at that price in probably over a year and I’ve travelled to multiple states.

If you think the government used DEWs to start the fires in Hawaii you seriously need to log off and touch grass. Hawaii issued warnings for wildfire risks days before because of dry conditions and wind. Not all trees burn to the ground during wildfires. Cars and boats can ignite when in close proximity to hot temperatures + blowing embers. Stop psyoping yourself into thinking everything is a psyop.

Javier Milei is being labeled as a “far-right libertarian” by the NYT. I wonder if they know what libertarian means.

Anyone read this? Boutta crack it open

TSA is such a joke. They don’t even try anymore. It’s literally nothing but an inconvenience to travelers.

Hello frens! Been gone for about 19 days, what did I miss?!?

BREAKING: XRP is still a centralized shitcoin. If I was a degenerate gambler, I would be shorting the ever living fuck out of it.

Primal (web) is very cool, especially with the stats and trending pages, but I wish it: 1. Had a mute/block button 2. Would load the "my followers" and "my tribe" feeds (they never, ever load for me) 3. Gave option to show posts + replies ( I think it might auto show both but its impossible to tell which are replies and which aren't?) 4. Allowed relay customization (am I just not seeing this?) Lmk if I'm being dumb and just not seeing these features. Definitely gonna try out iOS when I return to mobile nostr-ing

I temporarily deleted Damus from my phone to focus on studying so at the end of the day I usually hop on a web client to catch up with all you frens. This might be bias since I normally only use Damus but...my god has Damus spoiled me with its functionality. It seems like every web client I try is missing some aspect that I would expect to work or be present.
