To all the wannabe entrepreneurs out there: You need to know about something to know where the opportunities exist. If you don't have ideas, you don't know enough about anything. Every business uses products, tech and various services. Get a job and see what's going on.

How do we create badges? I had someone draw this a couple of years ago and thinking it would be cool.

We're set up for a bull cycle closer to the one that ended in 2017 than the 2021 one. Hardly nobody is expecting it and they're all counting on a top in the 100ks based on the pattern of diminishing returns. People like Novo are bearish af too, questioning if bitcoin can end the year above 20k.

Rogue AI is the best scapegoat for killing off some large % of the world population.

Sell half my bitcoin if the price goes DOWN?! Does not compute.

For every 1k change in the bitcoin price, there are people here whose fiat net worth goes +/- 1k, 10k, 100k, 1m, etc. And they DGAF. 1 bitcoin = 1 bitcoin. And adoption has a long way to go.

SAM GAMGEE WAS THE HERO OF LOTR. Real pleb.

Can still buy too much bitcoin for too little fiat money. Anyone with $10M can show up and buy more than 1/50k of all the bitcoins that ever will exist. Early.

I bet Buffet and Munger have been kicking up a fuss about bitcoin because the younger guys in Berkshire have been pitching it to them, lol. They know that the same will be happening everywhere and they know what it means for their fiat business model.

Seeing people calling for rates at 8% 😬

Fedimints from a guardian/key-holders perspective: - Install the Fedimint software. - Keep your keys safe. - Keep your computer/device on. (If you can run your own bitcoin node, you have the technical ability to be a guardian/key-holder in a fedimint.)

Fedimints from a user perspective: imagine a wallet that functions exactly like Wallet of Satoshi except the keys to the bitcoin are held in a multisig of people that you trust and all your spending is completely anonymous. You can both send and receive on-chain funds and lightning payments, but fees between people in the same fedimint are even lower.
