Is it weird that I find joy listening to symphony orchestra mix on Spotify while watching new Bitcoin blocks being born on my Bitcoin node using Mempool? If not, I think we just became best friends.

Is it possible to use NOSTR to communicate privately with others in the world without depending on 3rd party messaging apps infrastructure or censorship (like Twitter, iMessage etc) in the event of a terrestrial outage or natural disaster taking out local internet and power or just access in general?
For example, can I host my own private relay using IP instead of DNS that only authorized NOSTR users can connect to that’s privately hosted using backup generated power and Starlink internet?
I’m looking to sponsor a hole for a youth hockey golf tournament with a “Bitcoin - Be your own bank” sign to help raise awareness. Cost is $125 for the sponsorship (not including the sign which I will cover). If anyone is open to helping out, here is the full invoice or just Zap whatever you can contribute. Will post the final sign when the hole is sponsored. Thanks everyone!

You buy insurance for you home.
Insurance for your car.
Insurance for your life.
Insurance for your pet.
But you won’t buy insurance for a collapse of fiat currencies using Bitcoin or Gold.
Got it.
Anyone have a recommendation for crypto tax software? I’ve been using TaxBit and have had a terrible experience with their platform for 2 years. Whatever batch jobs run for their tax engine around tax season completely changes the gain/loss expectations from what was shown throughout the year.
I don’t know if I could have done what Satoshi Nakamoto did for humanity. Satoshi genuinely wanted to help fix a huge problem that existed in the world, and dedicated time to create a solution that could. Satoshi didn’t want any of the credit, fame, or money for doing so and just walked away.
We can all learn from Satoshi. If we want to make ourselves, our home, our community, or the world in general a better place, we can’t wait for someone else to fix it for us. The change starts with us. When we help ourselves or help others, do so with good intentions instead of looking for recognition, fame, or money for our accomplishments.
Thank you Satoshi. 🙏

If this isn’t another great advertisement for Bitcoin, I’m not sure what is.
