Wondering if anyone is using Ollama on Umbrel to self-host AI? Specifically, how is the user experience, setup, and if more than 4gb RAM would be required…?

Keep in mind that Wall St plays with other people’s money. They don’t care about being early, or maximizing gains. They care about confirmation that an investment won’t piss-off their clients. Higher monthly closes are huge in the front offices of Wall St. View quoted note →

The unfortunate and disappointing truth that Maxis are missing about shitcoiners:

The thing about Bitcoin is that there has always been, will always be, a remnant who understand what it Means. And it will always attract hoards of newcomers who will question that remnant. The newcomers come in droves, in waves if you will. Yet the remnant will abide, learning slowly, persistently. We don’t need to know how this will end. Just hodl, stack, and spend. That is all. We only need to remember that the path is freedom. And never forget that.

The Celsius Fraud case is one of the most fascinating and fiat injustices happening right now. It’s protracted, but the elevator version is: The Celsius Bankruptcy team (separate from Mashinsky, porn girl, et al) argued in the most-recognized corrupt court in the US, the SDNY Court, that according to Bankruptcy Law, everyone who withdrew their Bitcoin/Crypto 90 days prior to the official Insolvency was required to give their assets back - to be distributed to the other rug-pulled (i.e. in lieu of the Celsius team having to fully fund their scam). It’s been ongoing, but the Celsius Litigation team has continually hard-balled this highly contested law. The argument for the affected is that the Bankruptcy Law-card they’re playing applied to earlier Ponzi schemes (like Enron) in which Insiders withdrew prior to bankruptcy, having inside info. The SDNY has complied, and 1,000s of Individuals who withdrew (most knowing that Celsius was on the ropes) are being forced by a single State court order to “claw-back” their assets - at their value in early 2022. Such that those who foresaw and avoided the rug-pull are being compelled to bail-out the admittedly “completely fraudulent” firm for the obligations of those who did not see the collapse coming. Keep in mind: most of those Crypto holders have seen their withdrawals go significantly down, even to nothing, while the Bitcoin holders have seen their withdrawals go up 5x. Keep in mind, Celsius’ “Director of Institutional Sales” did a porn vid in which she admitted she was in a financial firm, didn’t know why she was there, wasn’t sure if that was what she wanted to do in her life, yadda yadda. The early Court docs glaringly admit Celsius was completely fraudulent. I know there are very few Bitcoiners affected by this, so it isn’t Zap-bait. But this is a clear and massive injustice for 1000s of people (but not Nation-States #linkBhutan) who saw what was coming, protected themselves, and now are being forced to bow-down to a bought and payed for singular Court in the US to bail-out the ignorant. My 2 sats. Thanks for reading! Here’s a fun kitten!

The War is upon us. Choose your side. Or choose both…run Knots and a Bitaxe.

I’m becoming convinced the central attack on Bitcoin by whomever is to destroy the Bitcoin Devs. Discredit them among themselves, and within the node/mining community. They were the closest thing to a “head” to cut-off. Perhaps Ossification is a page in the Fiat playbook.

I kinda hate to say this, but I will. Lightning Network is like giving Plebs full access to trad-fi “off-shore” funds. One transaction, then all else is hidden. What comes back is an IRS nightmare not worth pursuing. RUN UR OWN NODE

Lightning layer is still not even realized, and underrated. May likely cancel out the AI fud, because it adds orders of magnitude. I fucking love what has already happened on Bitcoin. Let’s settle down and invest in that. Not lever-up what is possibly probable. View quoted note →

I want to be with you but if I pay for a $5 coffee today on a credit card I can maybe pay it off next month for $4.82 in sats maybe We are ALL the failing-currency refugees now! Bitcoin is money up my butt, crossing borders every day, exchange-rating by the hour. I’ll spend fiat when I’m hopeful, spend sats when I’m uncertain. View quoted note →

🛢️ 🛢️ 🛢️ Oil continues to become cheaper in the sats-trade. WTI Crude Oil slumping to 54,996 sats per barrel. Stay humble, spend sats sovs. 🛢️ 🛢️ 🛢️

GM. STAY HUMBLE AND SPEND SATS.

Has anyone here set-up a legal Trust Agreement involving cold-storage Bitcoin? Just wondering if you have any advice to offer beforehand. I’m going to establish one, but I already know the Bitcoin aspect is going to be a huge ? for the process. Appreciate you!

Throwing fuel on the Sats / Bits inferno, the US Mint puts the term “Cents” on the table.

US Mint has made its final order of penny blanks and will stop producing the coin when those run out

On the 18th of May, 2010, Laszlo Hanyacz asked the world “What can Bitcoin do for me?” But it was 15 years ago today, the 22nd of May, that Jeremy “Jercos” Sturdivant answered that call, responding: “What can I do for Bitcoin?”

Western Bitcoiners of the past handful of years are… ….just… ….now… literally waking up to the Eastern(tm) markets. Bitcoin 24/7 is in no way priced in.

If you had to name 5 places on earth where Fiat Devs really wanted to take ownership…. BUT where indiginous/local plebs were entrenched and WOULD NOT give up their hodlings, no matter what. What would they be? Obviously that’s a global question best crowd-sourced. But I’d offer as a conversation starter: New Orleans Lahaina Palisades? Gaza? There have got to be others, I’m just throwing this out as a conversation starter, if you will.

Will we soon start hearing that “US Bonds are too volatile for sophisticated investors”?

🛢️ 🛢️ 🛢️ EIA-reported Crude Oil stockpiles in the US rose unexpectedly for the 4th week, sending prices lower in kilosats as demand fears abate. WTI Crude plunges to 56,524 sats/barrel. 🛢️ 🛢️ 🛢️

Twitter has gone full-Reddit lately. @ODELL was right, if early. I think I’ll vacation to full Nostr now. The noise there has no Signal any longer. Nothing happening to navigate by. Evidently Bitcoin Maxis are turned against each other? It all seems fake, kayfabe. Time to just enjoy summer, stack sats, and chill.
