#[0]​ and/or #[1]​ can I DM one of you, had a thought on something.

#[0]​ (and other Twitter frenz) when a person was Verified on Twitter (legacy status) what was the review process like for notability? I think the new process is kinda stupid and mostly theatre (I got my company account verified, and no one ran any checks on how official the account was).

Been a minute but realised I never shared my story with bitcoin: I grew up in a low-income household, and a surprising number of people just didn’t have bank accounts, or more accurately, couldn’t have access. They couldn’t afford IDs, couldn’t afford the travel to a bank, etc. As I got older, realised that the system was designed to ensure that only a select few (even if that figure was in the millions) could access banks and loans. In late 2014, I stumbled on a YouTube video from Tested with Adam Savage ( where they bought bitcoin, the process seemed so…easy to me. And in a second, I was orange pilled. Realised how not all of our problems would be solved by bitcoin (as an economist, required a structural rewrite) but it solved enough for me to say “wow, this is actually really cool” and…well that’s my anti-climatic story of how i got orange pilled.

#[0]​ inspired me to use notes as my to do list a few years back. Found it to be the simplest way to keep track of my thoughts.

Bitcoin is back down to $20,000. But the comedy of this is that it’s still a functional currency. Sure it sends a lot of people into a frenzy but for 99% of holders who use it as a currency it’s just another Saturday.

GN everyone. Happy Tuesday.

Since I saw a post from #[0] tempted to see if anyone here would want to start a ham radio club for Nostr?

Something I encourage people to do (whenever they feel able) is to get into charitable giving. Taxes aside, I've never (personally) felt bad about giving money to a foundation I care about.

#[0] what BTC wallet do you use to cold store your Bitcoin? Is it the Trezor you showed a while back? I'm rethinking my BTC wallet stuff.

Bitcoin is: Magical

#[0] what’s the logic behind me following my own account on Nostr? Something I noticed recently.

GM frenz. Appreciate y’all. 🦊

GN Nostr! 'Preciate y'all.

I have reserved a Rivian. Let’s see how this goes.

I've been fascinatined by the application of ChatGPT recently. However my biggest concern is...will we reach the point where we *don't* question its responses? I use it to summarise my talking points or helping me finish off a sentence when I have writer's block. But I grow concerned seeing people start to just copy and paste answers.

Monday end of day vibes, in the spirit of #[0] and others, sending hugs for everyone 🫂
