A fascinating 10 minute mini-documentary by Joe Nakamoto showing single-dad Steve who has sold his house to be all in on Bitcoin! Highly recommended!

Three tips keep me loving my stainless steel:
1. Preseason everytime. High heat until drop of water skitters like mercury bead. Add oil to cover surface. When begins to smoke reduce/remove from heat. Thirty seconds later ready to cook. (see Wok with Tok on YouTube)
2. For when do have food stuck on pan simply add enough water to cover and bring to full boil. Add some baking soda and let sit 1 hour. Scouring pad easily finishes.
3. Bar Keepers Friend really works. Makes even ancient (thrift store, garage sale) pans look like new!

I found I couldn't share some sats with you. In your profile you can share a lightning address and start receiving/sending sats. The easiest non KYC way I use is Wallet of Satoshi! Give it a try and again, nice to meet you.

Don't want to see you miss out on the fun. Your client (I'm on android's Amethyst) has a profile that you can edit. I really like Wallet of Satoshi because it just requires an email and you get a unique address you can plug into your profile. Easy!
Let me know when you have a wallet and I'll send you some sats!🙂

Great phrasing "unregistered stash"! Thanks to Nostr I noticed my pages and pages of zaps are "unregistered", my wallet has absolutely none of my KYC sats in it! So I just went a step further and dipped my toe in the water of P2P, and bought the smallest amount of Bitcoin I could on RoboSats ($6.20 funding with Strike). Amazingly easy to do, highly recommend. Now I have a controlled way to add to my unregistered stash!🙂

Thanks to @Padoc2robert for sharing this pro-bitcoin video today of an interview with Caitlin Long. Caitlin has a knack for cutting to the chase. She is fun to listen to and her own story is timely because she is trying to license a storage-only bank and has been denied. (Her bank is willing to hold 108% in reserves and not offer loans, eliminating any chance of a "bank run". )
Caitlin points out the notion the elite SVB uninsured needed bailing out to be laughable considering any responsible company is fully aware of the FDIC limit and has staff to stay insured. For example, she said a major company like General Electric has a huge staff that oversees more than 10,000 bank accounts to remain under the limit. Much good information here! https://youtu.be/xqX_NkBUQzg

Be your own bank! Yes, even our received tiny zaps can be our own protected property because of Bitcoin.

I am sad to read this. My wife and I give credit to the FIRE movement (Financial Independence Retire Early) for its emphasis on reducing expenses and eliminating debt.
Without spending a dime to follow a guru we were able to "chunk" pay all our debt and eliminate twenty years of principal and interest payments in two years. It left us with an enviable amount of "disposable" income and because of our new innate, righteous hatred of the banking system led us straight into the arms of Bitcoin.
Mr. Mustache dismisses Bitcoin as having no intrinsic value, using his clipped fingernails as an equivalency. His distaste for Bitcoin is palpable. Bitcoin is anti-fragile and will face greater foes than Mr Mustache and his premise that we who believe in, buy, and hold Bitcoin are merely participating in a speculative game trying to someday sell off to a greater fool. I think sometimes influencers can be well intentioned but totally wrong.

Hi, Dallas. Saw your npub over on Twitter and know it's a little weird getting started. Two quick suggestions: 1. Get Wallet of Satoshi app and use their free address in your bio (example picture), You'll be immediately able to be zapped (receive sats) so yes, absolutely ready for customers. And 2. Get comfortable quicker by following the nostr people that big influencers follow. For example, I'm here because BTC Sessions retweeted you, so maybe find and follow him. Then follow the people he follows! You can quickly get up to speed. And nostr is super friendly so be willing to ask questions if you need help. Welcome!

Mass BTC adoption in 60 years?! My visceral reaction was, "yikes, I'll be long gone!" But if you take a moment to read this article I bet you'll appreciate Mr. Svetsky's premise of three generations to adoption. It was fun to watch him experience Bitcoin through the eyes of our children born in 2009 and to know there's only five more years until the second generation of adoption begins. Give it a read!

Sometimes I am hesitant to try an audio link because I get frustrated with all the banter and wandering off-topic. But I was intrigued by the concept of Bitcoin as an energy wall. This is fairly short, but more importantly it goes directly into how Bitcoin enhances anything it's used with (like nostr) and the the defensive nature of its designed "energy wall" that will protect it as fiat controllers continue attempting to defeat it.
A great listen and very worthwhile.

I guess the speediest means the amount of latency and usually the closer you are to their location the faster. But there are other considerations because some relays have better hardware, are up (online) more, etc. If you click any of the relays an info page will load showing them on a map with more details.

Head over to nostr.watch. they list by speediest relays closest to you. I've heard 10-12 relays total get the job done without overloading your data allowance.
Maybe consider a paid relay or two. The wine relay that includes a filter has given me great results and only costs a buck or two.
