“I don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can’t take it violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something that they can’t stop.” – F.A. Hayek 1984

Mercari desperately wants it’s users to use its app as a bitcoin trading app instead of app for selling used goods while they only support paper bitcoin and never bother to implement withdrawal functions. I carefully turned on only transactions related notifications, but it still gave me this🤦 And here’s my prediction: They will add more shitcoins before enabling withdrawal. image

Tried nostr market from LNbits for the first time. It’s mind-blowing how easy it is to setup and sell goods. 🤯 And you don’t even need to setup BTC pay server to get it started. The best part: It’s decentralized and censorship-resistant. Your goods will be published to any nostr relays you prefer simultaneously. Everything is based on nostr protocol.

Primal iOS client will overwrite your existing lightning address if you have one. I understand it’s probably the only way to enable Zaps on Apple platform through forcing users to use its built-in wallet with 30% Apple tax included when you purchase sats for zaps through the app. But for me I have to stop using it now since I want to keep using my existing lightning address.

Bitcoin keeper wallet does not require subscription to create multi-sig wallet anymore, nice!

Japan has the highest inheritance tax in the world. It’s probably the only country in the world that the harder you stack your sats, the wealthier the country’s rulers will become. It effectively disables low time preference strategy to accumulate generational wealth in the country. Maybe it’s time to start learning Spanish.

Tried blockstream green lightning wallet for the first time, it seems it’s using breez SDK under the hood.

Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.

Even more exciting: breez/greenlight will also be integrated into LNBits, so finally I will be able to use non-custodial lightning wallet with self-hosted LNBits as frontend without relying on any hosted solution while enjoying not have to maintain my lightning node.

When building a permissioned network like Libra on top of permissioned system like fiat money, it failed because the permissioned system doesn’t allow you to build on top of it. Now you choose to build a permissioned network on top of the permissionless network like bitcoin and lightning so no one can stop you from building on top of it, it will still fail because no one will use it. /// Creates a signed uma pay request. /// /// # Arguments /// * `receiver_encryption_pub_key` - the public key of the receiver of the payment.
