I'm trying to get the contact info for the guys who ran the "Getting Started with Nostr Development" and "Nostr Market" workshops at the Thailand Bitcoin Conference last month. Can anyone help me get in touch with them? #siamstr #TBC2024

If you custody your bitcoin at [insert bank], how will [insert bank] verify you are you when you attempt to withdraw? A username and password? In a world of AI, deep fakes, and personal info data breaches, the only way to secure bitcoin is to secure private (key) material. A digitally native world might simply require that you learn private key management.

The U.S. Supreme Court has authorized the government to sell 69,370 confiscated Bitcoin. Fun fact: the highest court of the world’s leading superpower isn’t fully aware of what Bitcoin actually is. image

We still don’t fully understand just how powerful Bitcoin can be or the true global impact it could have. It's like a digital organism that keeps getting stronger every ten minutes, evolving with each new block added to the chain. This ongoing growth and resilience mean that its real potential is only starting to reveal itself, with endless possibilities and effects that are beyond what we can imagine right now. #Bitcoin #Siamstr image
