Just to be a bit pedantic: something is WORTH what you can get for it. Something COSTS what you have to pay to acquire it.
Just a little poke at @Joe Nakamoto on X. 😉

#Bitcoin; so close.
US markets open in one hour. As I see it…
Houston, we have 60 minutes to lift-off and counting. We are good to go. Stand by.
So close.

In the next few years it will become unsafe to do the weekly food shopping alone.
Help needed!
The committee of my choir are threatening to close its #Bitcoin payment rails. I need to show there is support for Bitcoin out there. So I have added the choir on BTCMap (
) and added a page on the choir website (https://chorale21.org.uk/bitcoin)
So please…
Donations of any size would help keep these fiat naysayers at bay. Go to our website or use our lightning address: chorale21@coincorner.io

I’m curious to know how it will all end (aka develop into a new peaceful world order).
Right now the “haves” are doing alright; they own solid assets such as gold, real estate and #Bitcoin. The “have nots” are struggling, living week to week and gradually turning to lawlessness (I cite shoplifting of what one might call basic goods from stores to back this up).
I can only see this division becoming more extreme before… what? Should I transfer assets to a bank vault? Hire a security guard? Do I have to buy a shotgun? Should I text a fence tipped with razor wire?
How do we transition to the peaceful uplands?
Any thoughts out there?
Round and round it goes,
where it ends everyone knows.

GM. I know it’s kind of sad to check the price of #Bitcoin in the morning but some days it really perks me up.
It’s pleasing that some UK politicians are now on Nostr - well done @Rt Hon Steve Baker FRSA.
However, It’s hard to find party affiliations on either his Nostr profile or his website. 🤔
To save you having to search: he was a Conservative MP who lost High Wycombe to Labour in 2024
Are #Bitcoin backed IOUs coming soon to USA?


Sooo close…


Here is the full text of Satoshi Nakamoto’s #Bitcoin white paper. You might have to zoom in to read it, but as a general rule for Bitcoin it’s better if you zoom out.


“My £250 Child Trust Fund is now worth only £12.”
No schadenfreude, please.

Child Trust Fund: 'My £250 investment is now worth only £12'
Max Prince was shocked to discover that surprise fees had left him with just £12.39 in his trust fund.
Help!
An update concerning our choir and members of the committee who are worried about #Bitcoin. One opinion was that “a drug dealer from Guatemala might send us 1,000 Bitcoins” and we would be done for money laundering. I have been asked to remove the lightning QR code!!
First, apologies to all Guatemalans.
Second, I would love it if anyone felt like making a small donation to the choir at https://chorale21.org.uk/news/a-21st-century-choir.
@Alby is an awesome #Bitcoin Lightning setup (Hub and Go). I set it up but how to transfer all Sats from @Wallet of Satoshi (sorry guys) to this new, more self-sovereign home? I wanted to transfer everything but was told I had to leave 3% behind for Lightning fees.
The answer, transfer 90%, and then 90% of the remainder, etc, etc. Eventually I was left needing to transfer 20 Sats which took zero fees.
I’ll keep WoS as a super simple demo for when I’m orange pilling people (please don’t judge me) and for accepting Sats from those who have my WoS address.
