Life goal: Koi pond.
Check. ✅
Of course ORANGE Koi, as befits a #Bitcoiner ₿😜

Today, I put down my #lightning #node.
RIP
It was bleeding sats, automation does not really work, neither for fees nor channel rebalancing, there are no useful tools for channel discovery (“which channel should I open so my routing gets better?”), etc.
And I do not have the time and patience to “learn to code” and babysit that thing around the clock.
So - emptied it, invested the sats in a decent ponzi, and will feed the results back into my #coldcard.

If you are bad at swimming, grow a beer belly, errrr, some sort of “buoy” that keeps you afloat. This variant of water chestnut shows how it’s done 😆👍

Cleaning a gun (specifically a handgun) is a strangely satisfying ritual.
Well-oiled, frictionless function and reliability the result.
My CZ, my cello and my espresso maker are definitely the cleanest and best-maintened items in my messie household 😅😂

Recently started a new pond (for Koi). Heavy rain = lot of soil wached back into it, algae growing like crazy. Sprayed about ONE litre of EM (effective microorganisms) on the water/algae. 24 hours later: pond back to normal. WOW.

You torture a person, no matter what they have done: you deserve to die.  You rape a person or a prisoner, no matter what they have done: you deserve to die.  You allow it to happen while you are in a position to stop it: you deserve the same fate.  You are a people and make systematic murder, rape and torture your culture: you deserve to get wiped off the face of the earth.
 Period.
 “Israel” - I hope to see the day where you meet your demonic maker, the sooner the better.

Stay away from #Finexbox - can confirm what others have reported many times already: they ignore withdrawals, do not respond via email or Telegram, and simply steal your coins.
So even if they are the last place to "trade" certain shitcoins - avoid these scammers!

High #bodycount = garbage human.

Never met an exception in my whole life.
They all have an annoying, disgusting energy that only appeals to primitive brain stems with zero self-awareness. Has nothing to do with “#morale" or #religion.

I fully expect to lose some precious sats while I experiment with this 🙈😂 - but at some point you just have to tinker and run your own #Bitcoin #LightningNetwork #Node
Currently testing, but will be online for a long time, Starlink willing, and capacity will increase over the next days.
Connect a channel, if you like:

Probably a good time to mention my recent blog post “How to survive a Bitcoin Bull Market - in 7 easy steps” (zero ref links or other crap inside)
May it help you on your journey through dips and pumps towards unfazed peace of mind and financial independence.
Have a great Buy the f’ing Dip Day! 🖖🏻

Red candles are no different from green candles.
Light the wick, enjoy the flickering lights, brew a cup of tea or a dark, strong espresso.
And calmly HODL on... 🤷‍♂️

Been a “wholecoiner” for a long time, but #stacking #sats in #Nostr, stacker.news and #Blink is somehow more rewarding and satisfying than sitting on well-stacked hardware wallets 😂🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Well, Bitcoin probably wouldn’t care, indeed. But Bitcoin users might… xD

“This is who we are.” - we never were no formal group, no secret society. No blood oaths, no goat-headed rituals, no masonic symbolism. We just were. And our bonds were forged on other planes of existence. For a while, we managed to balance things out. But our ethical restrictions put us at a disadvantage. We lost, honorably. Some of us might disperse, mingle with our opponents of old, their pawns and tools. Some of us will move on to different worlds, different species and leave this one to the path it has chosen. But our core beliefs, our sacred creed, our vision what we and the mutant monkeys we fell in love with could have been… will never change. “This is who we are” https://image.nostr.build/39f7595c5c7801f7e1d5eda5e63b5d3c2bc717ba58d96d0fc40987772c4d8107.jpg

I am not 100% sure about the facts behind the Samourai Wallet “devs got arrested for money laundering” story.
Maybe they were involved in some shady stuff, maybe not. In any case, it is interesting how people spin this (overall very irrelevant) story… “not a good look for Bitcoin” - wtf - WHY? some asshole sells drugs for dollars, is that a bad look for the dollar?
I am also convinced that many terms, from “conspiracy theory” to “Nazi”, from “terrorist” to “money laundering” have been trivialized, extremely so, over the past years and are used in a way that has nothing to do with the actual meaning.
If the state stays the f out of peoples private money matters, there is no problem. If someone makes money doing seriously evil shit - investigate him for that evil shit, kill him, lock him up, whatever. If someone funnels billions into a corrupt banana republic to fight a disgusting proxy war, and a big part of that money is funneled back as bribes - hang em high.
Some dude sending half a bitcoin through a mixer because he won it at gambling and rightfully thinks he should be able to enjoy his luck - that is not a crime. Only in the minds of the parasitic scum that reserve the right to steal, mug, rob, kill only for themselves, not for the human cattle they rule.
Stop accepting their terms.
90% of “illegal” things are totally fine by natural law and common sense.
Develop a healthy sense of right and wrong, and act according to universal ethical standards.
But stop feeling bad if you have not KYCked yourself sufficiently or not given enough "proof" how those 13000 Sats in your Lightning wallet were earned... It is none of their damn business, unless we allow it.

Switched to “5.11 tactical jeans” some time ago. Fit is a matter of taste, ofc, but I just love them, clever design incl. magazine pockets (which are also great for phone and other civilian items), and so far neither I nor my dogs have been able to shred them…
thx for the welcome and the zap, btw, still getting my bearings here… LOL

Huh? Another social media hell? How did I end up here?
Introduce myself? OK…
Landed on a cute planet, long ago, spent many lifetimes here, this one is probably the last among the weird mutant monkeys. Got tired of them.
German expat in South America, ready to move on to a lonely island.
Animals are much closer to my soul and heart than hoomans.
Old, childish, playful and somber, many things that keep me entertained, from gardening to Bitcoin, chickens, gadgets, classical music, espresso, steak, moderate calisthenics, computer games, my cello and sometimes a tin whistle…

Occasional rants, memes, and whatever probably here in the future, instead of X… (where you can find me as martinwanderer)
