Maybe this is a stupid question. But why do we not hard fork #bitcoin as soon as possible to avert the year 2106 problem?
Wouldn’t it be significantly easier to hard fork now while bitcoin is still <1% global adoption and only *really* used and understood by actual bitcoiners?
I’m surprised to see the lack of urgency for, what seems to be, a rather uncontroversial modification.
Please tell me why I’m wrong!

Sometimes I have to double-check myself that I’m not getting swept up in bitcoin’s hype/craze/moonboy predictions.
Then I work through everything again for the 10,000th time and ultimately conclude that bitcoin is the most logical store of value asset we’ve ever seen.

Thought about doing that too. But then thought it could potentially be an opsec landmine.

2023-11-08 16:04:12

Last week I had “the talk” with my wife.
I sat her down. Looked her in her eyes. Spoke in a slow, serious voice.
“Bitcoin is about to go up so fucking much. No one realizes how fucking high this is going to go. I need you to be mentally and emotionally prepared for me to not sell a single sat at $100k.”
Told her she could sell a portion of her stack at $100k but nothing is coming from mine.
And she understood 100%. I picked a great one.

2023-11-08 15:55:00

- reply

Happens to me all the time. Frankly, I gave up.
I barely keep any funds on Blue or hot wallets in general now. So at max a few hundred thousand sats won’t be connected to my node and that’s a tradeoff I’m willing to accept.

2023-10-31 15:34:18

The sweet irony of the Bitcoin Whitepaper being published the same day as the 95 Theses is not as appreciated as it should be.
It has to be one of my favorite aspects about bitcoin’s story.

2023-10-31 02:47:05

Today was my first “holy shit I spent $70 at the grocery store and barely got anything” moment and I almost downloaded Tik Tok just to yell about it

Couldn’t imagine spending hours of my day arguing with other people on twitter. Especially arguing with other bitcoiners.
Quit pissing yourself off! That ain’t healthy for you. Go touch grass. Remember we all share the same goal.

2023-09-06 11:36:55

Twitter has completely morphed into Facebook/Tik Tok. It just shows the same accounts over and over again with videos designed to keep you scrolling.
Congrats, I guess.

Wasn’t the best time to continue the conversation at that point.
But I would have just stressed that a blockchain is just a public database with nothing inherently special about it. Blockchains aren’t automatically decentralized, either.
What else would you add?

2023-08-01 22:11:05

Listening to Odell talk about Nostr vs. Twitter is all the motivation you need to open up your Nostr client and start exploring a bit.

The COVID pandemic was a stress test to find out who would cave under pressure and who would consistently do the right thing.
I’m beyond fortunate that the majority of my friends and family kept a level head.
Sadly, I realize I’m in the minority of people who can truly say that.

I’ve found most people in this position simply think it’s “unfair” that those hodlers will hold so much wealth down the line. They think coins should be distributed evenly with everyone starting at 0. Would be great in a perfect world but it just doesn’t work like that.

2023-06-23 17:47:51

By the way - anyone know the mechanics of Phoenix and when that 3,000 sat charge will go away?
I’m sure it’s all reliant on channel management/liquidity but would be nice to know for other beginners. #note19j2…95xs

2023-06-23 14:02:00

I just paid my “trainer,” who is just a buddy of mine that makes workout plans for me, in sats for the first time. 🤙🏼
Got him set up with Phoenix wallet and he’s requesting the monthly amount + 3,000 sats to cover Phoenix’s channel creation fee.
Baby steps!

First tweet after ditching Twitter Blue is very telling.
70(!!!!) views when the majority of my tweets (overwhelmingly bad tweets, too) receive 500+ at least.
Truly shocking. It’s like not paying for a “premium” service earns you a shadow-ban.

Not sure why but I feel like the 2024 halving is going to be THE halving where it really gets crazy.
I know this is said every year. But too many stars are aligning with bitcoin itself, macro, monetary policy in the USA, crypto scams and more.
The supply shock of the block subsidy decreasing from 6.25 bitcoin to 3.125 is going to hit harder than going from 50 to 25.

It is a serious problem. There are some estate planning hacks around this and definitely worth a consultation depending on the anticipated stack to inherit. Irrevocable trusts are a big one.

I’ll preface this by saying I despise Trump. I hope to all that is good that he doesn’t win the Republican nominee in 2024.
He made the USA look real stupid sometimes.
However, no one was stupid enough to cross us, either.
Now with Biden/Harris we look even more stupid but now also weak and vulnerable.

2023-03-02 22:34:09

No you connect your Fold debit card into PayPal, then you connect your credit cards into PayPal and use the Fold card to pay them off. Sounds confusing, and it kind of is. But once you do it once you’re set.
I use Capital One CCs but know others that have used Discover.

2023-03-02 18:18:51

Only putting $5k/yr is tough. But the spins and the odds are, roughly, twice as good with +.
I’m able to pay my rent with it and at these prices that nets me ~100k sats almost every time.
If you can pay your credit card off via Paypal, its totally worth it. The process is clunky and slow but pays for itself 1000 times over.
I’ve had the Fold card for less than 2 years and have earned over 5 million in sats.

Yes semiconductor chips should probably be close to the top of national security interests.
To access these govt grants, chipmakers agree to:

2. Not expand into China for 10 years
And, wait for it…
