Normalise bitcoin payments. When invoicing a client send them bank details and also a bitcoin address they can pay you at. Doesn't matter if you've never talked to them about bitcoin. Make it a part of your work and life. Normalise it.
I don't care about price anymore. I don't care about percentage fees from exchanges. I don't care about the time of day, timing the market, anything. I just send all my fiat euros and trade it for bitcoin. I use whatever I need through a debit card. Whatever is left goes into my
At the Raspberry Pi store which I just learnt is unique. Had a lovely chat about bitcoin nodes and DIY projects. They still sell Raspberry Pi 4's and Zeros but only one per person and only in the physical store!
Should you invest in that altcoin?
I'm a bitcoin maxi, but let's forget about that for a moment.
From a computer science point of view, let's say you invest in an altcoin because of its speed, anonymity, programmability or whatever.
Fine.
Ask yourself this:

Eth is yet again hilarious. I decided to get the SOS airdrop, paid 14 dollars in fees. Got 30 dollars of shitcoins, 5 million tokens. Okay, I'll just trade them for bitcoin, no big deal, right? The swap needs 100 dollars in fees. 🤦♂️
What an ultra-sound joke.
I got the very first copy of The Bitcoin Standard by

translated in Greek! I didn't get to work on it after all but I got it in print. This will massively help bitcoin adoption in Greece, I'm sure of it.
Craig Wright is just a professional patent troll who found the biggest opportunity in history, that of bitcoin and its anonymous creator who willingly disappeared.
It's all so stupid. If you believe he's Satoshi, you're stupid. He's ridiculous.
This is an amazing project and this Benji guy seems sincere. The authors crying hard about all this should know that fifty other language models and data mining tools are being trained on their books without their knowledge nor their consent. Get over it, this is the world now.
YouTube just deleted my bitcoin channel, said in the email there's nothing to be done, I filled out the appeal form and they restored it. I obviously can't trust them anymore. No point building on there. X is gaining more and more ground as a video platform. I'll keep Nostr as a

No he has ethereum in his balance and it shows the equivalent price in USD. Ethereum drops, the exchange rate drops, he has no clue what he's doing.

I used to agree with this drivechain argument, even wrote an article about it. But now after seeing the insane way these ideas are promoted I'm questioning their motives. We don't really need any of these on bitcoin, do we?
While the vast majority, even 99%, of alt coins might be of dubious value, there is still innovation to be found and had in that remaining 1%. Let's look at some projects that BTC will absorb when Drivechains are activated 🤓🔎
Yes, nostr is fucking annoying. It has a steep learning curve, things don't always work right, you have to wait for stuff to load.
It's so annoying.
But you know what's really annoying?
Losing your audience that you've worked on for YEARS because some corporation decided to
First bitcoiner I hired went splendidly well.
Second didn't happen in the end.
Now a third bitcoiner looks very promising.
If it works out, I'll never bother hiring non-bitcoiners again.
Let's change the message, from "buy bitcoin," to "study bitcoin". Like they did when they displayed it on that central bank. I think it's better. Buy is just a command, people dismiss it as yet another scam. But if you ask them to study it, it's a movement.
Rich and clever people are quitting their jobs and dedicating their lives to bitcoin and you still think your shitcoin is gonna achieve the necessary network effect.

Hello my fellow plebs and fans. I'm making a new youtube channel and I need subscribers to unlock some features. Please subscribe to my channel here and post a screenshot that proves it. Then a lightning address or an invoice.
That takeaway of there not being a financial unit of measurement was the real epiphany for me. We used to think the dollar/euro/yen was stable. It is not.
Reminder from

that there is no measurement without a unit, so the

I predict a new wave of bitcoin hippies emerging pretty soon. A bunch of millionaires travelling around the world in places like Costa Rica, taking psychedelic drugs, working remotely, having a sort of decentralized memetic governance.
Monero is pointless, not because of the tech. I understand it's brilliance. It's pointless because it will never achieve the network effect necessary to be used in the real world. Only bitcoin can do that.
I'm organising the Santorini Halving Party.
It's half conference, half festival. We're keeping it small, 100 attendants. We've booked an entire hotel just for the event, happening at 13-14th of April 2024.
Some bitcoin talks, some barbecues, lightning zaps, prizes, music, a
Talked about home mining to our Greek bitcoin community last night. Showed my S9. It went well, we paired the talk with another expert on industrial-scale bitcoin mining. Lots of questions, 100 interested people watching. We kept on chatting until nearly midnight. Lots of fun!
The Skull of Satoshi is Now Available For Sale!
1/ Greenpeace commissioned a skull sculpture to raise concerns about Bitcoin's environmental impact.
But little did they know, it would be embraced by Bitcoin enthusiasts.
