It'd be nice if Bitcoin popped a lil bit before my family vacation in a month. Prob be some questions I have to answer

https://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/2026/02/developer-of-1900-acre-ottawa-county-solar-farm-may-bypass-local-permit.html?outputType=amp This is near me. 1900 acre of land, the multinational German company is going to the state of Michigan to usurp authority over municipality.... The people living there don't want it.

The Bitcoin Matrix podcast interview with Lauren Rodriguez is excellent. She clearly explains how corrupt the FBI and moreso the judicial system is. @Cedricyoungelman excellent work.

A slightly breakthrough moment with the wife. She's not against it, she just trusts me on finances and big picture stuff...and given my obsession, she has no pallet for the topic. I explained to her how two years ago, a very short time ago, we could have bought my house for 8 or 9 Bitcoin. Today we could buy my house for ~2.5 Bitcoin. Her: "wow that is crazy" Me: now you know why I don't wanna buy a new house anytime soon. The prices keep dropping.

@MartyBent most recent @TFTC podcast #603 with Dr Mary Bowden. 99% of doctors are employees 77% employed by hospitals (my note, increasingly behemouth monopolies nationwide) 20% by employed by insurance companies or private equity firms 2% employes by government That leaves 1% independent and "3rd party free" (not contracted w insurance co hospitals or government)

I know someone who works for Robin Hood. When I mentioned there are companies that will help securely store your Bitcoin for an annual fee... "Well that doesn't really make any sense, it doesn't cost anything to keep Bitcoin" This is an employee who makes good money at Robinhood. We're so early

Currently single sig air gapped. Currently nervous about single sig failure via theft or loss. But nervous about multi sig. Nervous about using unchained as multisig, in that I don't like them having my xpub. Want to do self multisig via Sparrow, but nervous about keeping my own xpub (all corresponding multisig wallet configuration info) and losing it, even if I store the file with each of the private keys. Multisig just seems a bit more complex, another layer of understanding. thoughts? #coldcard #multisig #coldstorage

how do you spend your BTC? I mean, luckily at this point I haven't had to. but if I did, seems like annoying tax consequences I'd have to deal with. obv I will deal w taxes if necessary, but it makes me slightly apprehensive when buying btc

I tried to runs Bitcoin node. I suppose the failure was purchasing a HDD instead of an SSD. it was so slow downloading. then somehow I bricked the drive. idk I gave up. should I go drop $150 and get that SSD and get back on the horse? I should say, I've installed Ubuntu Linux on old computers, flashed custom roms back in the day to android phones, so I'm not a complete tech noob.

Unfortunately, the Fountain app is simply not as good as Podcast Addict. I've used Addict for many years, it's great. I switched to Fountain around 8 months ago. I added sats from my stash. I have been tipping and zapping for good shows. But the Fountain app would occasionally delete an episode, or no longer let me listen to a show, or some other strange things that inhibited my podcast enjoyment. Two weeks ago I switched back to Addict, and it's just so smooth. But now at least I have Nostr so I can zap podcasters on here for good shows.

#introduction I have the fountain app for podcast listening. As you can see I just downloaded the Primal app and created a nostr account. I have it on my phone. I cannot figure out how to send sats from my fountain app to my primal account.
