Really stoked to have picked up this original artwork from @Ratel on halving day. Beautiful! 🤙

Learning economics principles and understanding money goes a long way. Bitcoin is first and foremost about storing value. Seeing Bitcoin (the mainchain and its attributes) first as a medium of exchange for day-to-day transactions is a lazy shortcut. Study the second layer & sidechain tools (Lightning and Liquid) tools. Analyze the tradeoffs.

Buying small amounts of bitcoin onchain means you're getting small utxos. This will be costly to move. Avoid buying small amounts. If you're not letting newcoiners know about this, you're doing them a disservice. Orange pilling has to improve.

Understanding Bitcoin transaction fees is highly valuable knowledge. It's definitely complicated, but worth it. Relying on software for fee estimation is lazy and often inaccurate. Observe the mempool. Recogne patterns. Optimize your transaction fees. Identify opportunities for channel creation and rebalancing, utxo management, replenishment of proxy wallet or cold wallet... 🤙⚡

If it's not about separation of money and state, I'm not interested. This is why I Bitcoin.

The Bitcoin app I use the most is easily mempool.space

Careful what you wish, you just might get it! 🎸🔥

Click-bait or misleading titles? You're not making it into heaven.

Bitcoin self-custody is not for everyone. When Bitcoin is the standard (and it will--as it is the hardest money), the vast majority of people will be using a layer of money built on top of it and will have zero clue that they're operating on Bitcoin rails. And so to my point, and from now a few years of experience, self-custody is too daunting for most folks, it's not exactly easy either. Different forms of custodians (small federations and whatnot) will emerge over time that will do a better job of keeping people's bitcoin than those individuals are actually willing to do, at a cost. And that's okay, and it's especially better to the current fiat alternatives which is garbage and offers no guarantee except that your purchasing power can't stop eroding. It's layers. Layered money.

Even if you do shit that you like, sometimes you have to do shit that you don't like. Otherwise, how would you know the shit you like?

"A money that is easy to produce is no money at all, and easy money does not make a society richer; on the contrary, it makes it poorer by placing all its hard-earned wealth for sale in exchange for something easy to produce." @Saifedean Ammous

When using fiat money and its infrastructure, you depend on the honesty and competence of the governmental authority which controls it. You do not want that. It's an atrocious proposition.

it's always soooo cringe when some fella tells you they're getting into bitcoin because they are tired of the banks and inflation, then proceed to explain how they are planning on trading these coins to make a quick fiat profit. HFSP
