Any #Bitcoin candle makers here on the great #Nostr?

I get a little pissed when uBlock says >2k

I should probably immediately switch to audio responses anytime @ChipTuner responds to a post 😂 View quoted note →

A valid point. Noncustodial Lightning is dog shit UX in my experience (it's the only layer I currently use). I want that to change and hope it does, but we have to be honest to make progress. View quoted note →

I have a couple Nissan vehicles (2013 and 2014) and they've been okay. I've mostly just done basic maintenance to them. I was hearing that Nissan is having concerning financial problems and probably wouldn't be around much longer. I was skeptical because claims like that are so often made for clicks. Yes, financials are open and somewhat objective, but none of us can know the future for sure. They could be bought out, etc. I've driven two 2025 loaners over the past several months (one under 10k miles, the other under 3k miles). Two different Nissan models. I'm less skeptical. They sound and drive like dog shit. I'd be surprised if they make it past 50k miles without some major issue. Both transmissions gave me palpitations. They may be doing some goofy fake gear shifting nonsense to make the CVTs feel like traditional automatics, but the result is that they feel like they're going bad already. Given the quality decline, they probably are just shit. Either way, it's bad. No one wants to feel like their new car is falling apart off the lot. They also make other concerning noises and sound and feel like they're 10+ years old (I drive two such examples). I wouldn't buy out their brand as a business, and I'm not buying another vehicle from them. RIP.

Tesla probably would have been better off sticking to traditional pickup truck design and expectations. They're a novelty more than a truck, in my opinion as a non-Tesla truck owner. They can always change these things, but I thought it was odd to come out of the gate with such a novel design.

I'm still bullish on marriage and family building. Although I've decided to not have children, I fully support anyone who decides to responsibly (meaning they can care for them). I'm seeing a lot of negative sentiment toward marriage outside my bubble and it's sad to see.

And it's not like insider trading isn't still happening anyway. It's just in the shadows so average people can't see or benefit from it. I'm in favor of open sourcing it. View quoted note →

I decided a while back that orange pilling normies 1:1 IRL is largely a waste of my time, so now I just let people know I'm a resource if they ever need me. I don't have time to convince people anymore. However... There is a case for spending time orange pilling people like Graham because of how many people listen to him. These people already want what Bitcoin is selling. They probably don't need much convincing. They don't need to buy a rental property. They can just buy sats and jump ahead to the peace he's looking for after years of bullshit. View quoted note →

Graham Stephan is talking about optimizing for peace of mind and being tired of real estate bullshit (even with managers)... Looking back to when I truly found #Bitcoin, I chose Bitcoin and gold over real estate because all I really wanted was to provide value and not be debased. Real estate seemed a lot riskier with a lot more headaches even if I did well. Even if the government didn't freeze evictions and rent payments in my jurisdiction. Even if taxes and insurance didn't skyrocket. Even if... The list goes on. I'm not saying people like him will land on Bitcoin and/or gold, but he's saying the things I was thinking back in 2020/21. And I'm not sure what else they would land on after looking at reality. Fast forward and I'm Bitcoin only. My wife inherited part of a shitty house and we decided to convert those dollars to Bitcoin. How many people our age will do the same with boomer assets?
