So what's that, like 5,000,000 sats?

Sounds over priced.

Am I the only person who doesn't want to read Twitter links all the time?

The reason I use places like this and Matrix is because fuck Twitter.

Appreciate Messers Bosworth and Roasbeef know their shit but also fuck Twitter.

Did I say fuck Twitter?

That's my 1 sats worth.

253 Coinbase accounts then...

Glad to hear they're tracking it, will be easier for them to donate some sats.

Interesting....

Sounds like you're doing some great work there! Bitcoiners often talk about family values a lot and it's a bit of a meme, especially considering 'Family Values' is often propagated by politicians who then get found out shagging donkeys or something, this looks like some proper parental interactions and helping the kids learn financial responsibility without sounding like some humourless Austrian Economist.

Makes me wonder how I would have turned out if I'd even seen my folks from the age of 10 or so (old man buggered off, mum worked crazy hours trying to keep a roof over our heads, we were pretty self sufficient). Not hating, just a background curiosity of mine, we play the hand we're given and things are good (if you ignore the impending digital dystopia of course).

Lesley Crowther was a better Price Is Right Host though...

Deleted my Twitter and other fiat social media sometime back, for all the reasons stated. Twitter, as well as being a time drain, is often polluted with content which, in my humble opinion, is straight up embarrassing. A lot of edgy young men on an ill-informed dick swinging mission to get dopamine hits.

Not that I'm above such behaviour, it's just the realisation that it did me no good mentally pointlessly arguing with people who, in all reality, won't change their minds anyway.

Sure there is some useful info but for the most part it's a whole heap of confirmation bias. I'd rather hear well thought out criticism of bitcoin/privacy/tech tools or guides on how I can do better. I'm trying to best learn the tools that suit my personal risk profile, podcasts are often incredible and I'd rather email the people direct and thank them or send them some sats via PayNym.

Pre-social media forums ran the day, no one used their real name and it was fun (as well as pointing to more long form content). It's an internet I want to get back to, smaller communities based on special interests. Re-tuning my brain is hard, I'm susceptible to dopamine as the next person. Matrix is cool and Mastodon's federated model works well, you can visit different worlds, with different vibes depending on where your brains at.

Probably best to focus on people near you IRL and help them get on board in a privacy focussed way. It wasn't Twitter got me into Bitcoin, it was a major hatred for the banks and hearing from a friend about this other money, something I was aware of previously but being a former junky, didn't want to go on the Silk Road.

Appreciated this post. It's my first sats based interaction (tried Fountain and Sphynx but they're still buggy for me).

I'm just another pleb trying to escape this bullshit so don't know if I'm right or wrong but do know two opposing things can be true, too much binary in this world, trying to think quantum haha.
