“Tragedy, he perceived, belonged to the ancient time, to a time when there was still privacy, love and friendship, and when the members of a family stood by one another without needing to know the reason.” 1984 by George Orwell

HSBC, Nationwide Banks Crack Down On Bitcoin And Crypto Access

Two of the U.K.’s largest banks have imposed further restrictions on their customers’ ability to acquire cryptocurrencies.

"Why would these British banks limit access to bitcoin? Because it directly conflicts with their goals and the government's goals of monetary control. Perhaps it would be wise to acquire some bitcoin while you still can." Quote from @BtcCasey

What’s ⚡️Zappening? Twenty-five years and my life is still Trying to get up that great big hill of hope For a destination I realized quickly when I knew I should That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man For whatever that means And so I cry sometimes When I'm lying in bed just to get it all out What's in my head And I, I am feeling a little peculiar And so I wake in the morning And I step outside And I take a deep breath and I get real high And I scream from the top of my lungs What's ⚡️zappening? And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah I said hey, what's ⚡️zappening? And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah I said hey, what's ⚡️zappening? Oh, oh oh Oh, oh oh And I try, oh my god do I try I try all the time, in this institution And I pray, oh my god do I pray I pray every single day For a revolution. And so I cry sometimes When I'm lying bed Just to get it all out What's in my head And I, I am feeling a little peculiar And so I wake in the morning And I step outside And I take a deep breath and I get real high And I scream from the top of my lungs What's ⚡️zappening? And I say, hey hey hey hey I said hey, what's ⚡️zappening? And I say, hey hey hey hey I said hey, what's ⚡️zappening? And I say, hey hey hey hey I said hey, what's ⚡️zappening? And I say, hey hey hey hey I said hey, what's ⚡️zappening? Oh, oh oh oh Twenty-five years and my life is still Trying to get up that great big hill of hope For a destination #bitcoin #lightning #nostr

Since #Nostr is crackling with high voltage monetary energy in the form of Zaps!⚡️ why not adopt the ⚡️ emoji for satoshis; similar to how bucks are for dollars. 21 zaps = 21⚡️ = 21 sats And while we’re at it, to avoid confusion between lightning/email addresses, ‘simply’ swop the “@“ for “⚡️”. i.e. bitcoin3us@getalby.com becomes bitcoin3us⚡️getalby.com
