Thing is, when using coinjoin you're hiding your transaction history from everyone, including people you may wish to trade with in the future. You can rightly expect to be allowed some privacy in personal dealings. They'll insist on submitted records eventually, I guess.

All sats are rare...but yeah, ordinals...when I see the people punching them and their adversarial attitudes I can't help but assume they're here for the wrong reasons. If it doesn't improve efficiency or security and it's not directly related to the disintermediation of the central banks then what's the point? Even if they were totally harmless, it's still a pointless energy drain.
It depends on the kind of business, I think. A low margin high turnover business would probably need the fiat more readily, until the supply chain is sorted, but a tradesperson for instance, may be able to do a £250 job and just sit on the coin without needing to convert. Gotta tailor the approach to the individual.
In the comfortable west people will see the benefit when they reach a particular pain point - elsewhere in the world adoption is growing far more rapidly
"Anyone trying to make Bitcoin seem "difficult" to use is just trying to psyop you into actually losing your money, they're not protecting you."
Pretty much says it all, really. Yet shitcoiners like udi still seem to attract a huge following, which is a pain in the arse.
To my mind a Bitcoiner is someone dedicated to the cause. You can hold bitcoin, but a Bitcoiner hodls. When the majority of the world uses Bitcoin, Bitcoiners will be the defenders of the code, those who keep the 21m chain running when governments collaborate to fork bitcoin away from the hardcap.
I've been noticing relays popping on then dropping off loads since yesterday but, tbh I don't know how common that is because I didn't really check before yesterday.
Housing is crazy now in the UK too. Distortions in the market caused by constant government intervention have become so bad that there's no basis in reality any more.
It's a concern, to be sure - where's the latest news on that? Also, to save me looking (sorry not sorry) is that limited to American mining companies?
I'm more curious to know what USD or GBP will be worth. I'm confident enough in the value of bitcoin that I know it's going to buy more next year than it does this year. Same but opposite with fiat. It'll be more entertaining to see how worthless GBP is likely to be.
Sorry, my response more to the initial question than your comments below it - such ads need to exist for a meat space project I need to kick off and since noone's built exactly what I need, I've got little choice but to learn, experiment and build exactly what I need myself :/
My personal thought, and it is just an idea of my own;
Happiness is a crazy target to aim for.
Happiness just like sadness, anger, pleasure, joy and anxiety are emotional responses and emotions rise and fall like the tide.
Myself, my aim is more for contentment.
When I am content I can have a great day and a truly happy moment, or an awful day and a bloody terrible moment, yet there's no great rollercoaster of emotion or expectation of any. I can accept each mood as it comes and passes because, over all, I am content day to day.
You've got the right idea with gratitude, most definitely. Generally I say thankyou every day I get to wake up and am grateful for another chance to live. There were times when that wasn't as certain as it is now.
