I think ive stumbled upon an under researched area of climate change. All i wanted was to be sure what the difference between an asteroid, meteor and comet was. I did learn the difference, and it was a meteor i was thinking off when i needed to make sure. But then i learned that several hundred of tonnes of metors burn up in the atmosphere each day as well. but there doesent seem to be any research for wether or not this impacts our climate. you would think it does. several hundred tonnes of matter being added each day? that adds up? But who knows :) maybe i will find out. have a nice day.
It wouldnt surprise me if Pfizer and co is behind the war in Ukraine. It has been such a great distraction. Prevent the public opinion from dissemening what happened during COVID-19 and wether or not the vaccines and lockdowns and masks were actually helpful (evidence suggests it wasnt) but as time goes on the chances for a proper investigation goes down. Good job Pfizer and co! You really did a slam dunk :) Can i join you?

Good afternoon everyone!! It's Sunday funday, no NFL today but certainly in the mood to start the grill, perhaps a dip in the pool just to wash off the stress from the week and start fresh Monday morning. I wish you a glorious day as well and stay focused, relaxed and be patient. Be well and stay frosty everyone!!
Bought a couple Amazon gift cards from the Bitcoin Company for purchases I was going to make anyway, under a minute had them redeemed, earned some sats back, withdrew those over lightning. Then bought the sats I spent back on Strike and sent to my lightning wallet.
Basically just did a regular debit DCA, but earned some rewards. Playing around with all this and actually spending sats is becoming increasingly easy and enticing for this holder.
Thinking about how to best get my kids interested in Bitcoin. I try to talk about it once in a while in random occassions and I think some stuff is sinking in, but would like to do more. I can get them wallets and send them some sats, but not sure where they can actually use them in their lives. Any suggestions about how else to get primary school kids involved are welcomed. Thanks in advance.
Spending within the circular bitcoin economy is ideal, but until that's fully ready to go, they can use their sats to buy gift cards on Bitrefill. They can buy their own video games via gift cards, if they're into gaming :)
Good point. Thanks
Zebedee and Thunder games is a good start. Get them playing and earning some sats. I pay my kids "allowance" in sats. If my oldest (12) helps me wash the car or fix something in the house, even if he is just passing me tools or holding a flashlight, I will give him some sats. I will play a jeopardy style trivia game with him in the car sometimes where I will give him 5 categories to pick from and he can win sats for every correct answer and then we will do a final jeopardy style questions where I will give him a category and he has to wager some of his sats. Whatever he amount he ends up with, usually around 100 sats in the end, I send to his zebedee wallet.
My little one is only 4 so she doesn't know too much about bitcoin, other than telling me she wants to buy it on my phone. haha.
Thanks for your ideas. Gaming seems to be the most natural way to go for sure.
As a teacher, I think the best way to get kids interested is games. Gamification is a trending pedagogical method in my country’s formal educational system. In fact, I just came from Damus, a Nostr relay, because I was playing some word games on Cowdle. It’s similar to Wordle, except that I have to guess a six-letter word correctly. Pretty addictive, not least because I can get up to 250 sats if I guess a word right.
You may also want to look into Zebedee. I haven’t played the games there yet but seems like one can stack sats through games like Sudoku.

If the planet is going to get on a Bitcoin standard, that process is going to involve a whole bunch of proof of work, both literally and figuratively.

Out of the 12 recent posts some of the posts will start gaining more zaps and satoshis and thereby gain more visibility in the section 'like minded zaps'
Some good suggestions.
Great suggestions!
I support this
Thank you
Is that all?
Thats not all.
If there is interest i can write more. :)
Keep it coming!
So day two after my latest nostr screw up. I am getting into the routine of downloading a fresh json backup file every morning. I'm still kicking myself.
It’s all good man it happens to the best of us . I lost so much data throughout the years due to different reasons.
