Another holiday weekend in the United States and another low volume dip to stack Sats.

Has anyone been successful in stopping political text messages? As if the robocalls weren’t bad enough! I have my number on the No-Call list, but that doesn’t seem to help.

@Simply Bitcoin that’s another house 😉 Sats/$ break to the favorable side

Started watching Guy Ritchie’s ‘The Gentleman’ on Netflix. So far so good.

What’s the adoption on Nostr outside of the Bitcoiners?

@miljan & @preston have a great chat about Nostr, Primal, free speech and corruption between corporations and politicians.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes - was a movie the whole family enjoyed. Made me think of how we should all want a slow and gradual move from the fiat system to a Bitcoin standard.

Well…I finally got Covid 😢

The sad truth is that 90%+ of the population will trade privacy for convenience until they’re forced to change when their liberty and property rights are stripped from them.

Did a little circular Bitcoin medium of exchange experiment for back to school supplies. Bought $200 of Target gift cards which cost 691,870 Sats and gave 3.2% back (22,092 Sats) using @npub18tcc...2nxx Immediately bought $200 on @River for 679,735 Sats (River has 1.2% fee). 679,735 + 22,092 = 701,827 Sats - 691,870 means +9,957 net additional Sats for me. Network/gas fees included in the figures above, but it was all done over Lightning ⚡️

Been catching up on Ozark. Good show.

Binance is the 💩 in the 🚽 that takes a few flushes, but eventually will go down the drain.

What if BlackRock is filing for the ETF to get some hype around Bitcoin price so they can profit from their stock proxies? If that happens, they win. If the ETF is approved, they win. Good risk/reward move.

First post from my own Nostr server!

What’s your favorite node OS and why? I’m wanting to run core, LN and Nostr relay. Have 2TB SSD with Intel CPU. Trying to decide between Embassy, MyNode and Umbrel.

Why are Biden, Warren and others are “anti-crypto” and “raising an anti-crypto army”? Their campaign donation faucet from Scam Bankster-Fraud was shut off. Trying to create distance from their fiscal policy & regulatory failures. #Bitcoin  ≠ Crypto

What’s the best non-custodial way to get a LN url on Nostr for people that are new to Bitcoin, but are concerned about self custody vs. custodial? Hard to get older family and friends that aren’t very technical to run a node.
