August 2, 1976 Newsweek - The article, titled "A Star Is Born," highlights Nadia Comăneci's extraordinary performance at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, where she made history by earning the first perfect score of 10.0 in gymnastics, cementing her legacy as a Romanian icon. It mentions her impact on the sport, public enthusiasm, and the context of the competition, including the rivalry with the Soviet gymnasts.

During the Samourai trial today, this tweet was cited as evidence. Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill pleaded guilty to conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitter business.

Every job tied to fiat currency is, in essence, a job tied to Bitcoin. The choice is yours: remain captive to a corrupt system or break free from its chains. Time is on your side, so it’s best to start today, because it’s a race between you and them. Institutions are already seizing this opportunity, where do you stand? Bitcoin was designed for us, not for them, yet it’s here for everyone. #Bitcoin

"First, they hunted down all the unvaccinated, and now they are hunting down everyone with a Russian passport. Whether they are opera singers or athletes with disabilities, what kind of messed-up world are we actually living in?" - Felix Baumgartner RIP Felix (1969-2025)

The reasons why we are on nostr and use Bitcoin.

Bitcoin mass adoption won’t come from evangelization, but from the growing necessity of those seeking solutions to their problems. As the digitization of money advances toward CBDC solutions, as inflation rises, as the state imposes more taxes, and as the use of cash is increasingly restricted, the corrupt fiat system will force people to find alternatives. Each according to their need, Bitcoin is a tool accessible to all, and necessity is the best teacher. Congratulations to all who have awakened in consciousness, you are an elite minority with an incredible advantage over others.

Few people know the true significance of Trajan’s Column, a towering monument in Rome. The column commemorates Trajan’s conquest of Dacia, a powerful civilization in what is now Romania, which marked the defining achievement of his 19-year reign (98–117 AD). This victory had far-reaching consequences, including what some historians consider the first major economic crisis in the ancient world. The Roman conquest of Dacia, finalized in 106 AD under the leadership of King Decebal, brought an extraordinary influx of wealth into the empire. The Romans plundered an estimated 166 tons of gold and vast quantities of silver, replenishing the imperial treasury. To celebrate, Emperor Trajan hosted 123 days of lavish games and gladiatorial battles in Rome, showcasing the empire’s triumph. However, this influx of Dacian gold had an unintended consequence. The sudden flood of precious metals into the Roman economy caused a sharp decline in their value, triggering rampant inflation. This economic disruption, often described as the ancient world’s first inflationary crisis, destabilized markets across the empire and beyond, affecting trade and wealth in regions connected to Rome. This phenomenon bears striking similarities to modern financial crises, such as the Great Depression of 1929–1933 or the 2008 global financial meltdown. Yet, nearly 2,000 years ago, the Roman Empire faced a comparable economic upheaval driven by the spoils of war. The impact of Dacian gold on the Roman economy is thoroughly explored in „Geologia economica a aurului” (Economic Geology of Gold), a work authored by a team led by Prof. Dr. Gheorghe C. Popescu from the Faculty of Geology at the University of Bucharest, Romania.

I am on Bitcoin's side, in any war.

Running a Bitcoin-first business? Here's my setup for accepting Bitcoin payments with minimal reliance on intermediaries. 🚀 🔗 **BTCPay Server** for checkout: I process Bitcoin payments (Lightning or Onchain) directly, no middleman, no extra fees. You have full control over your own node, together with LunNode. 🔗 **LunaNode** for hosting: Super cool feature - you can run your own BTCPay Server instance starting at just $10/month. It's reliable and affordable. 🔗 **BullBitcoin** for off-ramping: Instant Lightning transfers to my Euro account via SEPA Instant. For Onchain, the exchange rate locks when the transaction hits the mempool, and funds hit my bank at the first confirmation. 🔗 **Wasabi Wallet** for Onchain custody: Privacy-focused, with UTXO labeling for long-term secure fund storage. 🔗 **Blink** for Lightning simplicity: Integrates with BTCPay Server to skip the hassle of managing Lightning channels - no need to balance or open routes problems. I move funds out quickly to avoid holding them there (watch out for Onchain transfer fees!). Bonus: Both BTCPay Server and BullBitcoin support Liquid, though Lightning is still king for my clients. ⚡️ Ditch the intermediaries and take control of your Bitcoin payments. What's my go-to setup? 🔗 Links: - BTCPay Server:
