Watching Jack Dorsey talk in 2024 and thinking back to when I saw him talk in 2012. The difference is striking. A long beard and a Satoshi t-shirt, but also a focus on the long term, a focus on what matters, an intensity and seriousness and passion.

Just arrived at Nostriga

Amethyst app is now working smoother than the official Twitter app for Android. And that's just one way to interact with nostr.

Bubbles are previews of the future.
Dips are second chances.

This bitcoin ATH is so quiet.
Too quiet.

While it sounds cool to say price doesn't matter, the bitcoin price supports hashrate security, brings in developers, users, and attention, and encourages existing bitcoiners to spend (due to increased purchasing power). It's the most noticeable measure of bitcoin's success.

Can you burn sats via lightning?

2023-11-23 14:16:16 UTC

Bitcoin inevitably flows from those who are careless to those who care

2023-10-21 18:40:28 UTC

I'm been saying for a while - don't open lightning channels with adversaries. It's not necessary and it opens up a variety of potential attacks.

Would fee smoothing (spreading fee revenue for miners over multiple blocks) lead to out of band payments to miners? And thus centralization?

Btc plus plus in Austin was a great experience. A lot of smart people building the future. Thanks to the organizers and developers who made it happen.

Can that be faked? Is that trusting the creator of the note? Or the relay?

2023-04-26 18:27:59 UTC

Does nostr have timestamping? If I note something, can I later prove that I noted it at a specific time and date?

Thanks. I think I fixed it now.

2023-04-25 21:28:44 UTC

Co-working from Pleb Lab in Austin today.
The signal here is strong, and not just the WiFi.

2023-04-22 03:16:18 UTC

Are my zaps working?

Joe Rogan has owned bitcoin since he had Andreas Antonopoulos on the show many years ago.

Andreas has produced many quality videos and books. Those last forever.

Sats. The native unit of bitcoin. Already the standard.

Gold production exponentially increasing every year.
Bitcoin production exponentially decaying.
Bullish on the bitcoin gold ratio.

If someone established that allocation in 2011 the portfolio would be mostly bitcoin by now.
Any nonzero allocation of bitcoin eventually takes over.

And then add the sats you would get from zaps from writing great notes instead of tweets...

Bitcoin going to penny sat parity eventually? Yes
1 million by June? No

The bridge connecting bitcoin and fiat is on fire. Toward which side do you run before the bridge drops into the chasm?

2023-03-13 01:33:16 UTC

Bitcoin is too exciting for me. Time to put my wealth in nice boring treasury bonds...

2023-03-10 13:53:47 UTC

Nostr doesn't support polls yet?
Why are you selling your bitcoin today?
A) A fractional reserve bank is failing
B) Gox coins being released
C) Ordinals
D) Someone was mean on social media
E) Better opportunity in 5% bonds
F) Tech stocks are down
G) Other

2023-03-09 22:31:56 UTC

Are nostr notes provably timestamped? Can I prove I was the first person to note something?
Should we put a hash of many notes into bitcoin blocks via op return?

2023-03-06 20:00:08 UTC

New nostr strategy: follow all the people who gave a high zap to a quality bitcoiner.

2023-03-02 21:16:40 UTC

Attended a birthday party for a bitcoiner. Many bitcoiners showed up. Conversation turned to bitcoin. A bitcoiner regaled us with tales of attending another bitcoin birthday party.

You aren't pro freedom if you are pro freedom just for yourself. Everybody wants freedom for themselves. You need to be in favor of other people's freedom too.

Almost booked nostrica in person but I'll be attended remotely

Bitcoin is not inevitably ticking towards success.
Bitcoin is inevitably ticking towards success or disaster.
The block reward is programmed to run out. Either bitcoin will be widely used by then or it will cease to exist.
It's on us to educate, to build, and to use bitcoin.
"In a few decades when the reward gets too small, the transaction fee will become the main compensation for [mining] nodes. I’m sure that in 20 years there will either be very large transaction volume or no volume."
– Satoshi Nakamoto

2023-02-22 21:58:33 UTC

So no one can block me on nostr? Is that right?

2023-02-20 19:22:48 UTC

Nostr, like Bitcoin, is simply the correct solution to its problem. An open protocol that anyone can use, extend, and interact with. And eventually they will win.

2023-02-16 15:05:23 UTC

The best time to buy bitcoin is after an 80% drop. The second best time is every day.
