GM Nostr, first tracks

GM Nostr, it begins…

GM Nostr, life is good.

Here are some clips from our conversation earlier today. We dove into all sorts of different topics related to philosophy, bitcoin, economics and more. I will apologize in advance for the low quality but hopefully you can catch on to some topics we were discussing. Really looking forward to the next one with stepped up production value. nostr:nprofile1qydhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdecxcetzwvhxgegpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt9w3sk6ctyv4jkuctg9e3k7mgqyqx8eqff73kn4sn30f5g29hud6sz9f072yp0kr0vz9py5vxff8w3xmrmh5p nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3uamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46z7qpqjfn4ghffz7uq7urllk6y4rle0yvz26800w4qfmn4dv0sr48rdz9qup3gjk nostr:nprofile1qy0hwumn8ghj7cnfw33k76twd4shs6tdv9kxjum5wvhx7mnvd9hx2qg4waehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvsqzptwpf7366kgg2mwchqypt5m87lq7vu666q8anz5x6qp0h60m2d0pf6rp76 https://blossom.primal.net/56e899c78cd0ce917649c28fa85750caa3f2e9dbde4f4b7e4ac3912d500f4e05.mp4

Thoroughly enjoyed our conversation this afternoon with nostr:nprofile1qy28wumn8ghj7vfjxuhrqt3s9ccn5wps8qcsz8mhwden5te0vf5hgcm0d9hx6ctcd9kkzmrfwd68xtn0dekxjmn9qqs2ms205wk4jzzkmk9cpq2axelhc8n8xkksplvc4pksqta7n76ntcgcmylcm nostr:nprofile1qydhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdecxcetzwvhxgegpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt9w3sk6ctyv4jkuctg9e3k7mgqyqx8eqff73kn4sn30f5g29hud6sz9f072yp0kr0vz9py5vxff8w3xmrmh5p and nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3uamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46z7qpqjfn4ghffz7uq7urllk6y4rle0yvz26800w4qfmn4dv0sr48rdz9qup3gjk We have never met, yet all use Bitcoin and Nostr so we figured it's time for us to stream and talk about things. The protocol means nothing if we don't use it. Working on snipping some clips and compressing them, I'll share later. Looking forward to the next one, hopefully with better audio and connection. You can just live stream to Nostr. You don't need to be an influencer, or expert or anything. We are literally random guys just chatting about whatever we think of.

Due to bitcoin podcasts and live streams becoming too centralized, 3 of us Npubs have decided to give our own live stream a shot tomorrow 11/25/25 at 12pm EST. Meet me nostr:nprofile1qy28wumn8ghj7vfjxuhrqt3s9ccn5wps8qcsz8mhwden5te0vf5hgcm0d9hx6ctcd9kkzmrfwd68xtn0dekxjmn9qqs2ms205wk4jzzkmk9cpq2axelhc8n8xkksplvc4pksqta7n76ntcgcmylcm and nostr:nprofile1qydhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdecxcetzwvhxgegpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt9w3sk6ctyv4jkuctg9e3k7mgqyqx8eqff73kn4sn30f5g29hud6sz9f072yp0kr0vz9py5vxff8w3xmrmh5p as we get to know each other more and attempt to spread the word about Bitcoin and Nostr. If anything you will see us work through technical difficulties as we are in different time zones trying to stream live on a protocol that can't be stopped. It's time for grassroots bitcoiners to take the mic. The link to our call is available here on Hivetalk, feel free to jump in the call if you're tuning in. Or watch along on nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnsv9ex2ar09e6x7amwqyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsqzq5edsvxllcyuz0n4azc5tjp9wx8uz2cqq0mp6c0fqamjr3llly7tksuz3y look for the Live Stream indicator under my Npub. https://honey.hivetalk.org/dashboard/event/naddr1qvzqqqrkdypzqv82ns4fttkq082hpg9hn8j7qkv7hpkpwpktz7gd9n7ss6ynkcpgqyv8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtngd9mx2arpd34jummjvuqq5dfhw9ux67txxg6kzdkyfgc

Doing dad stuff with the oldest this evening. Walking the dog, hardware store, maybe a quick dinner! Life is good.

Good evening Nostr. I decided to try to livestream on my own and rant about Bitcoin during this dip. It is a great time to buy, you know this. I work through an example showing how much more your stack can grow with prices this low with your same DCA strategy. I hope to do more of these streams, actually on Nostr in the near future, and hope that some Npubs will join in for that. I much more enjoy hearing from regular folks on Nostr with real lives instead of the Bitfluencers you see feeding algorithms with BS content. This is a long rip and very choppy, I apologize but I want to start somewhere. If you listen, even for a moment, I appreciate it. I value even more your feedback and participation in the future if there's interest. https://blossom.primal.net/3b8944d62e15c3e9ae0e014508ec429e0bd91421df5249ccb76f3cf048e163b7.mp4

There is opportunity sitting right in front of all of us right now. Dips like this completely change the calculus in how much corn you can get your hands on. Keep your DCA going, deploy any excess fiat you can find. It may never be this easy again.

Talk me into my next BTC miner. I currently have a Bitaxe gamma solo mining 24/7. Call it my last degenerate behavior lingering from my fiat past, or contributing to the decentralized hash rate. For the next one I would like to serve a higher purpose. I would use it to pool mine with nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skuep0qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcqyqpdnat8dlluxw0la9xl4vuta03pecghcmc4p8vey25z6320ggx6ydvfd7j and the proceeds from it I intend to stack in non-KYC cold storage. Reasons being, having to jump ship privately or potential pass down to future generations. Currently I'm looking at a NerdQaxe++ and Canaan Avalon 3S. Both have 6TH/S hash rate at a similar price point. The key difference for me is that I'm familiar with the Bitaxe OS and it will integrate easily with my current miner. The Canaan has its own interface, but has the additional benefit of acting as a small space heater which I could use. Based on this, what would you choose? Do you mine?

nostr:nprofile1qqsvn0dkjt80raqrxd470c98n7zrdehmcvj6p5hgw3kyku6zyd8z0fqpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqytnja8 is back up for me. This cloudflare outage has been a learning experience and I’m happy for it. I use Strike as my hot wallet and exchange of choice but this has shown that it pays to diversify. Of course L1 was fine but I rather not spend from cold storage. So having an alternate exchange and hot wallet makes a lot of sense if you still want to be able to make spot buys and spend in BTC on L2.

I knew this guy was right…sold my entire stack just to be safe. https://blossom.primal.net/369c9ecca6a317b1f77e81495e6d706658a2908a9ef3e8e3237412cb7346bc44.mov
