From Choice Spot #Bitcoin ETF Approval As a follow-up on our previous market news notes, The SEC has officially approved the spot Bitcoin ETFs for all 11 filers, including BlackRock, Grayscale, and others (for real this time). The approval, retraction, and now re-approval has driven a lot of volatility over the past 2 days, with Bitcoin surging up to nearly $48,000 on the initial approval and down below $45,000 after the SEC retracted their post on X. For historical context as to why investors are excited about the approval, after a gold ETF was first approved in 2004 the price of gold increased by 346% over the next 7 years.

Why would anyone connect to flare with their nsec? Why wouldn’t it use your npub? #nostrdev

Can someone point me to the process for putting videos on nostr?

I was recently dismayed at the abysmal performance of my 401k. I called Fidelity to question why my investment options are limited to such poor-performing funds. The answer of course was generic, stating that I was limited to a predefined mix of funds which were agreed upon between my employer and Fidelity. Two things occurred to me: 1) My 401k retirement is likely being pooled with other employees and invested in high performing instruments. Fidelity is benefiting most on those returns. And Fidelity really just tracks a ledger entry to give me my 1-7% returns. While they take probably 15-25%. 2) The phrase, “Not your keys, not your #bitcoin” really is applicable to many retirement accounts also. If I don’t have control over my investments, they really aren’t my #investments. #grownostr #tsp

For about 9 months or so, I’ve been frustrated with the #fold card. It work at some merchants and not at others. Despite the error message in this screenshot, the problem is NOT my PIN. I’ve contacted support at the fold card. They point fingers at the merchant. And the merchant puts fault on the Visa card, of course. Thinking critically for a moment,….. the merchants (Casey’s gas stations and Hyvee Grocery stores) would not be in business if they didn’t have working credit/debit machines. The #Fold card works with online transactions, Walmart and other convenience stores. It works as credit and debit. I have successfully transferred my rewards to a #bitcoin wallet several times. It’s just not reliable with all merchants.

How do I log into zap.cooking? I don’t want to paste my private key into it. “Login with Extention” sic doesn’t work (and it’s spelled incorrectly). I love the idea! I will share recipes when it’s fixed. #zap.cooking #zaps #bitcoin @Nunya Bidness

I’m having trouble reconciling the notion that @jack Dorsey, cofounder and former CEO of Twitter - an extremely censored platform, hangs out and supports nostr. The philosophical cornerstones of the two platforms are polar opposites. What am I missing? #grownostr

Question: Is it possible to run linux in a VM environment on windows, specifically for a full BTC node? Overview: I'm running a full node on Raspberry PI V and not too happy with it. It runs fine, I just struggle getting other services to run with any stability. I do have a very beefy windows box (gaming machine) that is lightly used for other things. Details: I don't want a dual-boot environment (I can do that.) I want to run windows 11 24/7 but also a virtual session of Linux (any flavor) for a full node/ lightning node, mempool, etc. Windows is already installed on a 2TB SSD. I have a 2TB SSD in my Raspberry PI running start 9. It's a full node and it's been running for months. Can I bring over that SSD and re-use the copy of the blockchain and dedicate that SSD to the full node? TIA

Target shooting with the boys. #grownostr #2A #tsp

We need a decentralized marketplace the allows us to sell everything that is banned on FB and CL. My son tried to sell an aquarium. FB takes it down because it has a picture of a fish.
