As you get older, you’ll realize that a $30,000 watch and a $30 watch both tell the same time.
A Gucci wallet and a Target wallet hold the same amount of money.
A $10,000,000 house and a $100,000 house host the same loneliness.
A Toyota will also drive you as far as a Bentley.
True happiness is not found in materialistic things, it comes from the love and laughter found with each other.
Stay humble… the holes dug for us in the ground are all the same size.
….and stack sats.

What tosh! If the poor turbines needed a time out to recover from their overbearing workload, they should have been shutdown of the required period. The miners would have had to pay for higher cost power or shut down too. 🤡

GE. I’ve got something to confess about that’s both embarrassing and very frustrating.
Last week I posted on a telegram home mining page about wanting to buy 2 x S19 XP’s to immersion mining and heat our pool and asking if anyone hade feedback about buying directly from Bitamain or their Chinese reseller Beacontek.
Someone called Sats4me replied I could buy them locally (I’m in New Zealand) for a sharper price through Rich at Used ASICs and said he good to deal with.
I was immediately DM’d by Rich at UsedASICs, (in retrospect a red flag) who said he has 6 month old S19 XP’s at the sharp price of $1300 AUD each.
I was cautious of not getting scammed, said I needed to conduct some due diligence, asking for his mob no and npub, but he asked if I’d like referee and gave me a telegram contact to message (probably him too) who said all he’d bought arrived as stated.
He didn’t provide me with his mob no or npub though. (Once again, another red flag.)
In retrospect I should have pushed for those, especially the npub, and a website. The social proof of the npub would have been valuable, but I felt I was being difficult and rude and he ‘seemed’ to be politely accommodating my due diligence checks.
I paid him the $2600 AUD, and emailed him the next day asking for the tracking.
I then checked my telegram chat with him only to find all messages wiped. It was then that the penny dropped.
I was naive to have not been more suspicious. Lessons learnt (the hard way.) 🙄
Not that it will probably stop his shitbag behaviour, but I text him:
Really? Is this how you make a living? Ripping people off.
Going through the motions of building trust when you’re really a fraudulent thief.
The fact that with Bitcoin, Nostr, Fedi etc, we’re trying to make a better, fairer, more harmonious world, but then there’s you, a lying fraudster scamming people rather than work towards a better future and trying to be the best person you can be.
You’re obviously intelligent, you should have more faith and self respect of yourself and aim higher.
I know humans can justify anything. How do you justify this cuntfuckery?
I’ll recover from this theft of yours and will let my wife know I’ve been scammed, while you have to live with your conscience that you’re a thieving, lying piece of shit.
Sleep well scumbag.
Anyway. Hopefully you can learn from my mistakes.
Be careful out there people.

Hey peeps. What Nostr signing app can I use for signing into Nostr clients without having to enter my nsec when using new client for the first time, (for better nsec security)?

GA!
I know am preaching to the choir, but here's link to my Telegram channel I created: The Case for Bitcoin and Financial Freedom.
I made this as a repository for all the stats, videos, presentations on inflation and Bitcoin that are both profound and undeniable.
Like most here, Bitcoin along with Fedi and Nostr gives me great hope for the future for myself, my family, friends and for a free, fairer, more prosperous world for all.
If the content is valuable to you, please feel free to share this with people you’d like to orange pill.
If anyone has a suggestion of how I can create this repository on Nostr instead of Telegram, please let me know. 😉

GA. Yesterday was Father’s Day in New Zealand and I spent fantastic day being doted on by my loving daughters and my wife.
My daughters eleven and nine years old both wrote me cards.
My oldest daughter Leo had some wonderful sentiment written on her card:
“1Happy Father’s Day to the best daddy in the world! You bring me so much joy and love into our lives every day. Selflessness, wisdom and unwavering support make you an amazing father. We are forever grateful for everything you do. Love Leo x x x”
She then cracked me up when she told me she had used Venice.ai to help her improve the sentiment she hard written on the card.
I thought that’s awesome. She’s 11 years old and she’s already learnt to use AI to improve her communication. Embracing the future.
She’s already got more Bitcoin than all our friends. Smart girl.

Well said Marty. Many people are thoroughly, and perhaps understandably, demoralised at the state of the world. We all know we’d probably be the same without the optimism that comes with the understanding of Bitcoin and Nostr. We need to light the way. Some will bee benefit, some won’t until they’re ready or the situation forces them. All in good time.

I’ve got two daughters 11 & 9 y.o.
While I’m not keen on them using social media at these ages, my oldest at 11 is starting to via Meta Messenger with her friend who has recently moved to Germany and her local friends.
How can we make Nostr a safer, more attractive alternative to the youth to use instead on the corporate Web2 platforms.
How can we create a wholesome Nostr for kids/teens?

I just asked Venice.ai, who invented Nostr?
It answered:
Nostr was invented by Dr. Craig S. Wright, an Australian computer scientist and entrepreneur, in 2009. He is also known for his work on the Bitcoin protocol and has been a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency community. Nostr is a lightweight messaging protocol designed to be fast, secure, and simple to use, making it ideal for decentralized communication networks.
Tell me it’s not true. What are the odds that he’s not Satoshi or the inventor of Nostr. Pray. 🙏🏻

I’ve been to Zimbabwe 6 times to run whitewater rafting expeditions on the epic Zambezi river. When I first went there in 1993, the exchange rate was Zim dollars to the British Pound. It’s heartbreaking when inflation and mismanagement has done that country.

It’s pretty safe to assume they will try to control or corrupt Bitcoin if possible, and if this is not achievable, perhaps they’ve just worked out the game theory that the can’t stop it and if they don’t get onboard they’ll lose and the longer they leave it the worse position they will be in. The centralisation of corporate miners if an attack vector that is worrisome.
