Are #protorig guys delivering already? I see a lot of copy websites that, I suspect, are scam. #asknostr

Seems like a good observation.

The current state of affairs.

With a state-level adversary, you need protocols that treat every sender as potentially malicious and minimize what any single transaction reveals; #BOLT12 + route blinding and #BIP353 move Bitcoin’s receiver privacy into that territory. View quoted note →

Who the fuck started this trend of zapping 1 sat?

It's a paradigm shift: now it's 10 sats for 1 USc, the signal is 1 sat per 1 USc (1 mln USD per #bitcoin). View quoted note →

That's an astute observation. View quoted note →

#Bitcoin is not being “destroyed by spam”; it is proving that real censorship resistance looks messy, expensive, and politically uncomfortable.

Modern Hebrew is fake and Israelis are more of Eastern European origin than semetic. Ironically, they are the biggest anti-semites.

Ten sats a cent — divergence is a non-event. Don't buy into the frantic semantic. #bitcoin

A key line between primary and secondary qualities: Primary — objective traits of things (shape, motion, number). Secondary — how those things feel to us (color, taste, sound). It’s a classic debate on what’s “real” vs. what’s “perceived.” #Epistemology View quoted note →

Bitcoin Weekly Volatility Moderate weekly volatility: within ±10% covers most weeks. Extreme threshold (rare): moves greater than ±15% in absolute terms, with those above ±20% identified as major outlier events. This heavy-tailed, leptokurtic behavior persists at the weekly level, where extreme deviations are rare but far more frequent than in traditional asset classes. Most weekly candles cluster in the single-digit percentile moves, while tail risks — moves >15% — stand out as outlier events.

If SHA-256 were genuinely broken by quantum computing, it would cause disruptions not just to Bitcoin, but across flight systems and avionics, navigation and positioning legacy supply-chains, banking, communications, infrastructure, and nearly all facets of digital society relying on this cryptographic backbone.

This is known as supply auditability. It's the inherent trade-off that comes from achieving privacy through transaction obfuscation. View quoted note →

Interestingly, the etymology of the word fascism goes to the root word "fasces" that came to Rome from Etrurian civilization. The bundled sticks were passed between the two consuls in continuity as sign of holding empirium during mutual reign even in the Roman Republican era.
