In my mind nostr should become a very good way to monetize a following? The incentives are there and you don't have to deal with censorship and fees to a third party? Your following also follows you where you decide to go? Or am I missing something?

It's mind blowing that you can earn zaps here and spend it somewhere locally at a merchant that accepts bitcoin or using something like bitrefill. People don't seem so impressed when I tell them but I think it's huge

I use to have a very pessimistic view of the world because of everything going on with money and wealth and it just felt like hopeless. Until I understood Bitcoin. It's still mostly hopeless in the traditional financial world to succeed, but I don't deal with that world nearly as much as I use to because I can just focus on my work and save in Bitcoin. Learning about nostr and the lightning network was just as big to me!

Is it important to "debate" guys like schiff? He still would not admit that he is wrong about bitcoin even if he secretly knew it. The man sells gold for a living. I just sometimes feel like it's a waste to debate him?

Completely agree. Going to need the equivalent of independent journalism but for social media. At present, nostr is the only conceivable option to make this a reality in my opinion.

I don't like talking about the bitcoin price in USD terms, but once a large chunk of humans realize that they need it in order to survive/live better, then it will certainly not be exchanging hands anywhere close to what you can buy it for today. You will be buying sats for dollars, not bitcoin for dollars

They also suspended the "debt ceiling" in June 2023 "temporarily". Would bet a lot of sats that they won't reinstate it in 2025 like they said. Even if they do, they will just keep raising it like they did the decades before, completely nullifying what it was intended to do. Government at it's best

Think it will still take a few years before people value it enough... It feels like no one knows about it and those that do know see it as 'n pure investment play and have a small amount allocated and don't see it as "opt-out" at all. Most will likely just sell for fiat if bitcoin appreciates rapidly enough...

Wow. What was bitcoin's total value USD trades settled in 2023? What would the impact be if the value of those trades had to be settled on bitcoin? If all that fiat had to flow through the bitcoin network using available sats then the value of bitcoin would have to increase dramatically?

Back when money was actually money in my country (made from silver). Going to either exchange it for the new money (sats), or put it in a frame next to the Bitcoin Whitepaper as an ornament in my office

To be honest, not sure what a relay is exactly. Still figuring things out. Just noticed that in ZA, nobody really knows about bitcoin, so I thought it would be useful to have a community where people could talk about it and ask stuff, you know?

Taking my business off the fiat standard
I am going full steam with making my business operate on a bitcoin standard as much as possible. My clients won't immediately start paying in bitcoin, but having lightning and bitcoin payment options generated with every invoice seems like a step in the right direction as well as denominating some of my expenses in sats
I am currently using Zaprite to manage this. It seems like a nice software to use and their pricing seems fair. Any other/better suggestions perhaps? Would appreciate it

I always find it funny when people say that you don't need any more guns. If you don't know what your adversaries are up to, the only way you will find out that you are not secure enough, is if you are attacked and cannot adequately defend your property/life
That's why the biggest armies in the world keep expanding, because they can't possibly know everything that their enemies are busy with, so they continuously make it more expensive to attack them, by expanding their defense/offence capabilities
You won't know you are secure enough, until reality teaches you that you are not. It's just natural. So some people will always want to increase their capacity to defend their property. They are also the ones best equipped to fight off an attack
Any written law is just an abstract form of power that has to be rooted in reality. Your property is only yours as long as you have the capabilities to defend it as yours (or the entity you outsourced that responsibility to has the capability and incentive to defend it on your behalf)

Haven't seen a single post about "btc going to 1m" or "btc will melt faces at 100k" and crap like that
