My two sats... While that miiiiiiight work, it might also be more "risk" than the average vendor on the beach is ready for. My personal preference, I like to ask and if they say no, say "No ¿todavía?" Which basically says (without saying directly) that they should probably reconsider.
And then as a personal form of outreach, because I'm actually trying to help that person welcome Bitcoin energy into their lives, I'll offer to pass them a few mil (1000 colones or $2) in says as a tip. It's a lovely interaction.
Grown men get teary with gratitude. 🥹

I've even FINALLY made an EFFing website www.amigadeconfianza.com (to tell you all about it)... and built a not-so-private wallet over there on @nprofile…2xse (notoriousdrc@walletofsatoshi.com) The Angels tell me that it can accept up to FIVE WHOLE BTC, which I would looove to test. 🤪

I'm getting ready to teach the #miprimerbitcoin #diplomado for the first time. Twice. In English. And in Spanish. January 5 start date.

Dear Mike,

And I feel like that's more a #primalproblem than anything else.
Like, if someone wanted to grow #primal than I think they should look into that. The content is getting more interesting, but the site navigation still sucks.
Sorry to highjack your comment, but it looks like you boys have relays. I still can't figure that sh*t out, so I'm just replying to you with the facts up front or whatever @whit said.

Omg. Gold isn't collapsing. 🫣
The race (IMO) is to see whether they enforce first a gold standard or a Bitcoin standard to save us all. I can't imagine those old bastards at Davos wrapping their brains around Bitcoin first and --until the revolution-- they're lamentably still calling the shots.
Gold is what stops me from being a Maxi. (Well, that and that one sh*tcoin that we won't talk about here.) But old world money always runs to gold in times of fear... I don't believe that Bitcoin is for everyone, as good as that would be. I believe that Bitcoin is the escape hatch and that I'm really f*cking lucky to have figured it out early. I got completely OUT of fiat before it fell to $100k a coin. 💥🧡🔥

My two sats (you didn't ask, but that's the thing about NOSTR, here you are in my feed, so...) if a man is a confident enough dancer that he can LEAD me, I'm happy to let down my guard and... be twirled around like a woman.

I'm proud of my grown kids (25 & 26). And all their "misfit" friends. In observing them recently, I realized that we DEFINITELY broke it all. It's not our fault, our baby boomer moms had to work (I was a "latchkey kid" at 8 and had to take care of my little sister after school). So WE worked... because we always imagined that's what mommies do. So that's TWO GENERATIONS of kids who were feral AF (me) or raised by strangers (my kids). Of course they hate their parents and any adult who dismisses them. BUT if you're lucky enough to gain their confidence, the reward is IMMENSE. They are waaaay fucking smart AND very wise-- they understood that this was all broken a loooooong time ago. That's why they look disinterested --it's a defense.
But I also believe THEY'RE going to make it right. Either they'll be super-queer (and thus NEVER EVER have babies) or super-certain that they want to be at-home mommies.
Either suits me fine.
In both cases, I'm confident they won't be sheeps. They're too wise for that.

I don't think that they've done anything to help me (or people like me) in many years. I have noted that Nancy Pelosi's portfolio seemed to be doing quite well though... and I wonder how it's faring now, post-tariffs? Wonder if SHE saw this crash coming? 🙄

I looooove what you've said about this.
I live in Latin America where it's realllllly shockingly normal that you're called out by your most obvious features: El Gordito, el Flaquillo, la Negrita.
Nobody cares, bc: well, duh. (That thing *is* obvious, after all.) 🤗
Buuuuuttttt, I disagree with the conclusion that ONLY leftists have the blame for this. We are a nation with a loooooong history of being racist AF (tragically fiat, now that I think about it) and calling it out (or not calling it out) shouldn't realllllly be a thing that gets decided by the ones who AREN'T that thing...
For example, I am NOT a good resource for how-to-lose-weight. It's literally never happened to me. That's not my genetic makeup. I can't, therefore, decide if it's easy to do or hard to do. I can only agree that it *might* be harder than I think and be nice to "fat" people bc they are, after all, just a product of their nature/ nurture.
That said, I'm a real judgy b*tch sometimes and I alwaaaaaays appreciate when my friends call me out on it. 🤣😂🤣😂
So, anyway carry on, fren. Sounds like you're doing a great job and your boy has settled somewhere on the happy side of GenX's stoopid idea of "color-blind" and just has ...friends.
I'm eager to watch as the next generations work through this, hopefully better than us.

Isn't DOGE just a way to shift "public" over to private?

I think we can rest assured that these boys intend to make a LOT of money.
Hold.
"World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the decentralized finance (DeFi) venture tied to U.S. President Donald Trump and his family, added over $21.5 million worth of ether (ETH), wrapped bitcoin (WBTC), and MOVE tokens to its treasury on Wednesday, data shows.
WLFI acquired 4,468 ETH at roughly $2,238 each (totaling $10 million), 110.6 WBTC at $90,415 (another $10 million), and 3.42 million MOVE tokens at $0.438 apiece ($1.5 million).
The WLFI purchases, where Trump and his sons hold ambassadorial roles, come days ahead of a White House Crypto Summit scheduled on Mar. 7, where the President is set to meet with several high-profile crypto founders."
Feels like the kind of note where I should cite my source:

I know how strongly everyone here feels about "other crypto". I get it. But Trump just told all those "shitcoin" firms to re-shore their operations. He's about to claim a big win for American jobs. Good ones.
And... (I'm not picking on you, I just feel like the only one who sees this) *some of* those shitcoins are really NOT ACTUALLY EVEN COINS. And they're DEFINITELY NOT COMPETITORS to Bitcoin. Some of them will be very useful to the world of mainstream eCommerce and international financial institutions and many will end up working with Bitcoin to create solutions we haven't even imagined yet. But NONE OF THEM want to replace (or threaten the position of) Bitcoin. Truly, I'd be willing to bet that every single one of those crypto bros at the table yesterday owns Bitcoin.
I wish everyone would stop going on about shitcoins. It's embarrassing.

I hope you don't mind that I chimed in. I mean, it was a bunch of boys agreeing that women aren't GETTING it. I generally like your notes and appreciate you as a NOSTR celeb, but one of my fears of this protocol is that it's kinda echo-chamber-y. Me, as someone with an actual vagina, I'm not afraid of this particular thing. It seems like another one of those bills that's labeled to make what it's doing seem all sweet and innocent, like the "Protect Marriage" ballot issues in California in the late 90s. And the "I love my wife" bumper stickers. But if you're open to other opinions, I'd like to keep following you and maybe sometimes (hopefully) respectfully disagree. But not very often, don't worry. Just when it feels appropriate for someone to pipe up and tell you that there's ladies here now. 😘

Me, I just don't trust the guys in charge.

That's the point. It's all falling apart and they're just making it happen FASTER.
I'm not opposed to the work of trimming the 🥓-- it's surely necessary-- but I have a hard time believing that any billionaire is doing anything on OUR behalf. There are no honest billionaires, and lots of hard-working innocent people are gonna become collateral damage.
There is no US and Them, only us and those who are pulling the strings, but they make up new enemies for us from time to time because it's the easiest way to unite us (by dividing us) and, of course, to print more money. Nothing unites us faster than a catastrophe and a common enemy. If you can't see this yet, it's bc you're too content up there in your Maslow's hierarchy.

as inspired by a running conversation with the ladies of #WomenWhoBitcoin over on @npub1ve8…9ka6 🧡 #gm
I was EQUAL PARTS invested in gold, XRP, and Bitcoin this last year. Gold went up the most last year (consistent ATHs, minimal downs --people were scared). I took profits and bought more Bitcoin. I sold my SOL (and ETH and ADA) to buy more XRP. 📈🚀🔥
I'm a recent grad of #miprimerbitcoin ⚡ but... I'm not wired like you OGs. You love the beautiful way that Bitcoin mathematically solves all the problems. That part bored me to tears.
Me, I came to #asknostr for #bitcoin for charitable contributions for community projects. Stuck around because @npub1der…xzpc said something about magical internet money and free coffee. I like #coffee. ☕
But I'm here for the cultural revolution. 🌱
My life doesn't get better unless everyone around me also gets better-- I'm gringa but I married a Costa Rican. I'm a firestarter for the bottom part of the #circulareconomy, a community-builder, a humble connector. #introduction🔥♾️🧡
I'm also part of the #XRParmy.
Think of me as a translator.

Look, there's a 2nd generation who needs a little #generationalwealthtransfer lube (as we're getting f*cked every way from Sunday). We were either too young or too dumb to get in on your round. Don't hold it against us. #karma #dharma
We're not selling our souls to the CBDCs --we're pushing for a necessary first step toward the Perfect Money.
Why does it have to be an UGLY narrative? Choose your own adventure, boys. Don't be so dramatic and conspiracy theorist. It's negative vibras.
The truth is, nobody wants dollars anymore. Not you, not us.
There's ONLY ONE WAY forward.
We've gotta go back on the #goldstandard
Price all currencies in gold.
Gold is old world energy. It's a security. Whether you believe in it or not, it hit another #ATH yesterday.
XRP is NOT a security.
(Read between the lines. It's the chosen one to transfer between central banks' digital currencies. It's also NOT Bitcoin, and that's ok. Not everyone is ready for sovereign money. We'll get there.) #trusttheprocess
The new generations need wealth too, guys. And all this #HODLing is bad for our businesses. We're literally dying on the vine here in all the places you want to live-- Costa Rica, Spain, Portugal. Happy to see you THRIVING and eating all that meat, but... bro. 🥓
We'd LOVE to buy BTC, but it's f*cking EXPENSIVE and we only make like $30/day. Salaries haven't gone up in paradise, just prices. Fiat sucks.
Gentrification sucks.
We have NO CHOICE but to buy XRP -- There is only one Bitcoin and YOU'RE NOT SHARING IT. What happened to 21M/♾️? Frankly, you're still paying us in fiat and it is insulting.
Show us the Bitcoin.
If you want to make the world better, start giving tips to get #locals up to #thebitcoinstandard of living. Tips are a risk-free BONUS that they can watch go up (and down) and learn. They can't afford risk-- that's a real privilege, friends.
My Costa Rican husband makes the equivalent of $7/hour, building white people's houses in the HOT SUN (deforestation is real and it's making even Costa Rica too hot). BITCOIN FIXES THAT, especially here in the #bitcoinjungle where you can pay anything with sats, using @npub1t28…nkzs's app. ⚡
Seriously, why are we still f*cking around with fiat?!
If you're a fortunate soul who got into Bitcoin back when it was under $1k or even under $10k, pleeeeeease start shaking it loose. Start paying the working class in sats. Stop trying to pay less fiat than your friends-- you're killing us.
Set aside a whole BTC (which maaaaybe didn't cost you that much, let's be honest) and commit to paying your workers a contract term of something like 1M sats/month -- a fair wage.
But forever, Laura.
Forget about the number go up.
It's the only way forward.
An intentional shift.
Think outside the box.
Empathy. Compassion.
Watch how it changes your life. 🧡

Good morning from the Bitcoin Jungle! 🇨🇷 #gm
I figured it out.
Bitcoin is the Store of Value.
It's perfect money for future generations.
But it "won't replace the dollar."
That's what XRP is for.
In the evolution of perfect money, we once had a gold standard. But we temporarily dropped it. (In 1971.)
https://wtfhappenedin1971.com
In order to evolve to the perfect money, we need to go back on the gold standard (this is gonna be UGLY...) and #ENDFIAT.
Insist to track EVERYTHING against gold.
Fiat (dollar, euro, whatever) goes digital (SWIFT requires ISO-compliant currency as of 10 March 2025) using XRP as the medium between all sovereign nations and central banks.
Don't fight it, @npub1cn4…3vle. 🫂 Nobody wants dollars anymore; they're inflated AF and still printing.
This is a necessary first step in the evolution toward the #perfectmoney.
We need a #planB.
XRP should also be measured in the gold standard, or we don't support it.
No government shitcoins.
Anyone who wants wealth for future generations would be wise to store it in BTC.
(also. measured. in. gold.)
Gold hit an ATH yesterday. 💔
The dollar's going to zero and there's only one way to track it.
#goldstandard
I hope you see value in this #proofofwork --I give thanks to all the teachers in the community of the @npub14f2…v7lu. I just finished #miprimerbitcoin en español with @npub148u…ty0w and @npub1hv6…n2in #costarica-- #classof2024
PLEASE REPOST bc I still haven't figured out how to use these 🤬 relays.

Awwwww, Tico. It's a really special feeling, being the progeny of such a proud professor. I learned SO MUCH in this class, my mind blew open that day when you explained how BROKEN money is. As they say, once you see it, you can't un-see it. Thanks for being the guy who dragged me across the finish line (of all that boring computer-y part 🤫) when all I wanted to talk about was MONEY and greed and lies. 😉
Great job, profe. Muy bien hecho, y gracias por hacérmelo en español, para que puedo compartirlo en el barrio, con mi familia tica, y con mis compañeros de buceo. 🇨🇷🎉💕🧡🔥

Noted!!
Got a little thing going on down here in the Bitcoin Jungle and I'd loooove to collaborate with bitcoiners of a progressive ilk.
#thatbitcoinprojectinBahía is ever-evolving and ready to be of service. I stand on a street corner and gift coffee to locals three days a week in exchange for buenas vibras and insider scoops on the goings-on of this sweet little beach town-- real estate deals, historical info, projects people are interested in creating... it's one of the best investments of my time and fiat I've ever made. Sometimes tourists pay a little money to cover the costs of the coffee and baked goods (sourced from the local bakery, down the street), but that's not really the point.
I'm trying to protect this sweetness from the wave of gentrification and deforestation that is currently crashing on the Pacific shore all up and down Costa Rica. Nothing corporate here, please. Northern Costa Rica is looking more and more like Miami Beach... but here, we're still walking or riding bikes everywhere. Sometimes horses.
My coffee is slow-pour, authentic Costa Rican style. And, as a gringa, ironically, I'm THE ONLY ONE selling it. Everyone else is using the coffeemaker. The loss of everything that matters is heartbreaking, but if that crazy gringa doesn't stand on the corner, talking about it, nobody notices. One cup at a time. 🦥 time preference. Pura vida.

Hi @npub1cly…amhz. I was lucky enough to "get stranded" on Koh Tao. there were a few hectic months, and a LOT of solo yoga but also the Thai people were AMAZING hosts to all of us and then when (by June, there was ZERO COVID in Thailand and) they opened up domestic travel, I went everywhere and saw all the things. Alone. (Photo: me, at the White Buddha in Pai, mid-2020.)

how come nobody here is talking about this? isn't it ALSO possible that #xrp will be a life-changing opportunity for the next generation of crypo-holders? are we ONLY #bitcoin here on #nostr? 😬
couldn't I take the gains from other cryptos and SAVE THEM in #BTC? wouldn't that give someone like me my own LIFE-CHANGING OPPORTUNITY? and, thanks to all of you who went first, the path looks really clear from here... you guys are gonna make the next round so much easier for us. 🙏🏼
maybe don't be such a purist.
maybe cheer for the next generation as we try to get ours... (i promise I'll share --I wasn't made to HODL-- I wanna live and I want everyone around me to benefit.)

this morning I've been researching the #XRParmy and... while it's not Bitcoin, it does look like it's poised to break out and would be a really good opportunity...

hello #nostr. #gm #coffeestr
I've been busy the last two weeks, opening my first business --the MVP is a pop-up tent in front of a (costarrican) friend's restaurant, serving coffee on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (in November). I'm doing a study to confirm (or should i say PROVE) it works. it'll grow from there in December, when all the tourists arrive. culmination will be in February for the @npub14f2…v7lu
#freedomfestival, but that's all just context.
¡Osa se mueve! is going to change this culture. We're gonna stimulate the local economy, get people moving.
(I'm having the time of my life, co-creating with a LOT of really cool people here in the #bitcoinjungle.)
I need some help. ⚡
(if you know me, please vouch for me & my project, re-post or comment). that would help a lot, since i still can't figure out the goddamn relay setup...)
I told this friend I'd pay her $50 to paint this satellite dish sign for my pop-up, but that's not nearly what it's worth. look how BEAUTIFUL and cleverly costarrican it is 🇨🇷. can you please zap some sats for her beautiful sign? I'd love to pay her something in Bitcoin too. (I'll pass it sat for sat to her. she deserves it, 💯.)
thank you. 🙏🏼

COUNTDOWN: 4 days left.
Me, at 48, opening my very first business.
Friday (1/11/24) seems auspicious.
#thatbitcoinprojectinbahía
to be honest, it's just serving coffee in the mornings, on a street where all of the tourists pass. it's hard to believe nobody else is already doing this. I bought a pop-up and a table and all the things I need to make coffee and some mugs and sadly even some to-go mugs (with plastic lids 😢) and everything I need for a total cost of about 1.5 million sats. imagine a lemonade stand, but with a REAL Costa Rican coffee, not that sh*t they made in a coffeemaker, served my my Costa Rican friends and neighbors. ☕🍊🚀
in the month of november, we will be open Fridays Saturdays and Sundays only. if there's more opportunity to justify doing more days, that's good news, but I want to grow the biz slowly, intentionally. December January and February, I'm all in. peak season is known as the only time of the year to make money in Bahía... and 90 days is the perfect amount of time for a business incubator/ test. my coffee shop is just the "proof" that it's true and it works.
the goal is to make $100 a day in profit-- that's my take-home pay. included in the overhead is $1 a coffee for the friends who are helping me.
so unlike the traditional model in Costa Rica of paying someone $4 an hour, if we can sell four coffees in 15 minutes, they'll make waaaaaay more money. and the more coffees they sell, the more money they'll make. I think that's what's missing in this economy --every time I see someone local working in a restaurant in the Bitcoin Jungle they're on their phone. they're not motivated to work. they're not motivated to sell anything. they're not making any money unless they work more hours.
while initially I pondered some of those "pay what you think it's worth" ideas, everyone around me said that probably wasn't going to work in real life. (most people from most countries don't tip, and pretty much everyone from the US knows you don't have to tip in Costa Rica bc the 10% service is already included.) I'm kind of sad about not trying that idea, especially when it's really obvious to me that this is what's called "the Bitcoin standard."
but whatever.
I figured out a better way-- commissions are very motivating. and the point wasn't TO WORK, the point was to build a community. and earn bitcoin for services provided.
the photo is me, mid-pandemic, living my best life on Little Corn Island in Nicaragua. it was not Christmas season, but the coffee mug shows how little one cares when in search of a good caffeination... i was clearly grateful. i even took a photo!

yeahhhhh, i feel like that's exactly the point.
but it's easy to see (from the outside, looking in) and not so easy to see inside.
americans THINK we have the most strongly protected rights in the world. that's what they taught us in our public schools. buuuuttttt we don't actually study another countries, we just accept what they tell us and (swear to god) BELIEVE that we're the greatest nation on earth. patriotism is next to godliness.
amazing, the depths of the propaganda.
i remember when we were admired far and wide.
on the inside they still don't know what a joke we've become. they take it all very personally, like as if it were football teams or something. politics as sport.

Hi Nic. My "feed" is alllllll you this morning. (Good morning, fellow normie. 🫶🏼 )
And you're cracking me up bc IT'S ALL SO DAMN (multiple layers) COMPLICATED. I'm like you, I *get* it. But I'm gonna need this to be a little more user-friendly before I can invite the family over.
Adding hubs and relays and paying for services and... what's a channel? Why do I need to watch a video or have a call with support to set this up?!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I'm trying to UN-complicate myself here.
I'm just here for the freedom.
And the quality content.
But I don't wanna PAY for it.
And I'm not gonna burn my precious sats to do it. That, to me, defeats the whole purpose. Plus it's another obligation, another middleman.

hello. normie here.
it took TWO YEARS (from $65k down and back up) for me to sort out this seed phrase sh*t. and then all the good people of the Bitcoin Jungle said to figure out NOSTR. so here I am. and I'm so grateful.
there's a lot of truth to what you're saying about the relays; however, I realized that I kinda like knowing that I'm not ACTUALLY shouting into a void --it's just not getting relayed-- it's kinda like a note to self. it feels light, like imperfections are welcome. like, I give zero f*CKS and I'm just gonna say whatever. my theory is that only people who are following me are seeing my notes, which I also really enjoy. (bug or feature?)
anyway I'm here, with my lightning wallet connected. you all had me at "they zap sats". hell yeah. sign me up for that.
f*ck Twitter. X. IG. FB. they feel so empty and are full of ads. NOSTR's way more peaceful, harmonious, interesting.
by the way, is it socially acceptable to just pop in on someone else's note and chime in? 🫣 when you arrive somewhere new, it's hard to know if everyone else already knows each other.

2024-10-02 05:24:32 UTC

thank you, NOSTR. you have really satisfied me tonight.
I'm grateful for no advertising.

congratulations on publishing a (second?!) book on Amazon. how do I convince you to send me an autographed copy? I'd like to read it.
some of my favorite books ever were my teenage daughters' dystopian romance novels --the Hunger Games and the Divergent series. I often get through post-corporate life --it's been SIX years since I gave away everything and just... left-- pretending to be Katniss Everdeen. I passed my pandemic on Koh Tao and Koh Pha Ngan. (I wonder if they've got bitcoin yet? I'd like an excuse to go back. got a little unfinished tattoo work to be done.)

what if the circular economy were donation-based?
like, pay whatever YOU think it's worth.
honestly, for those of us Normies living at the bottom of it, your tips are probably more than we'd make if they paid us by the hour. for example, in nearby (gentrified af) Dominical, a plain black coffee with almond milk from a carton costs the equivalent of FIVE DOLLARS. which is, for many locals, about TWO HOURS worth of work. but for most foreigners on vacation, that's the best price they've seen in as long since before the pandemic...
(so pay whatever YOU think it's worth. I'd bet it's more than we'd have asked for.)
thennnnn we could start playing in the same stratosphere, you know what I mean?
it's shocking to see both sides of a gentrification in process, so clearly. I wanna help. make it friendlier, less corporate. you know, protect the "local" vibe. except less alcoholic. more creative.
except Bitcoiners all wanna gift
anonymously, which makes soliciting help for community projects harder, because neither side believes in the other. 🤣😂
and you wouldn't believe the number of boating accidents in this crowd. 🤔
if you want to build something fair and beautiful, go where the Eat Pray Love ladies are. and help us keep the joy-sucking capitalists out.
seriously.
anyone wanna sponsor my bumper sticker campaign?
I want to print stickers (in collaborating with local artists) about the qualities that make my small Costa Rican town great:
Bike-friendly Bahía
keep Bahía walkable
Emprendadores❤️Bahía
keep Bahía local
hecho con amor (Bahía)
and then GIVE THEM AWAY. to everyone. I wanna see our community's best qualities --even if they're just #goals-- on every water bottle. every car. every laptop.

I PayPal-ed $50 for what turns out to be a well-curated list of access to gated content about my actual dream, something which is popularly referred to as "homesteading". ¡¡SCORE!!
As I scroll through this list, I see lots of ethereal messaging, marketed to appeal to exactly me and my #eatpraylove demographic. We're the OG Gentrifiers 😭, back when it was just called "discovering" and just before the Influencers came and ruined everything.
Anyway, I'd be more than happy to share the link to the curated list if someone actually read this far.

I'm really enjoying this #nostr experience.
it feels kinda like the connection of all the miscellaneous stuff AND a place where I can just talk out loud (to myself too!) which is a lovely treat.
I'm really enjoying the challenges of being an early user and figuring it out. And I'm really REALLY enjoying how distant and unimportant Instagram feels now.

I lived in Prague for a semester, just as it was beginning to change, and (unrelated, that was all just for context #introductions, hi.) Barcelona blew my mind. 15+ years later, when each of my baby girls (separately) went on class trips to Spain, they took photos of the status of the Sagrada Familia. Someday I'd like to go back and see the finished product. Maybe just another 15-25 years. 😉

#proofofinception in Bangkok, mid-2020.
The young Thai king was allegedly holed up in a hotel somewhere in Germany with about 20 prostitutes. (Who knows if it's true, and does it really matter?) The good people of Thailand, and 100s of thousands (maybe millions?) of "stranded" foreigners, we followed the mask rules for 4 months and then --while you guys were all complaining about getting #vaxxed-- we were quietly having the time of our lives, no vaccines necessary. I remember someone cheerily explaining to me, "There's no covid here! Don't worry." when I forgot my mask, en route to the local market.
After those 4 months passed, the government determined that they would extend our visas (eliminating the messiness of border runs) and encourage us to travel domestically --discounts on everything!
