Anyone have takes to shill me on CivKit before I dive into it? (At first glace the 'KYP' oracles seem iffy to me.)

Booking tickets for Miami. Any nostr breakout events planned for Bitcoin 2023?

Feels like a good day to mix and withdraw

I'm noticing as Twitter withers away and nostr replaces it: the lack of algorithmic content makes it much more difficult to manufacture consent. It's wild how many psyops I'm missing out on by just following friends / WoT.

POV: you weren't at PubKey for the meetup last night to hear us discuss soft fork activations

Thought exercise: if a nation-state actor decided to choke off all the exchange on-ramps and restrict or prohibit the exchange of BTC to fiat, what would you wish you had done differently? what would you wish you'd done sooner? I think I would wish that I had used Bisq exclusively and mixed all my sats before sending to either cold storage or some physical bearer device (e.g. OpenDime, SatsCards). Which means I should probably start doing that right now.

That Greenpeace sculpture is right up there with calling Trump supporters "deplorables" - it's not convincing anyone that wasn't already convinced, but it gives their opponents some amazing branding for free. Can't wait to see it on a satscard :)

Slaves lose everything in their chains, even the desire of escaping from them. -- Jean-Jacques Rousseau, watching normies scramble from bank to bank in the midst of a crisis (maybe)

Just don't dance.

Last Friday the Chinese government brokered an agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia to restore diplomatic relations and bring a halt to the years-long undeclared conflict between both countries. Meanwhile, after spending two absolutely wasted decades in first Iraq and then Afghanistan, the government of the United States spent last Friday cleaning up a regional bank blowup at the behest of members of their political donor class. Years from now this will be written about in history textbooks as the signpost for when the post-WWII 'rules based order' came to an end.
