Austin regularly gets bumped up my list of cities I'd want to visit.

I forgot who said it, but I guess there is something magical about being a "blue city in a red state"

Or poke holes in them

Was this chatgpt? I mean no insult just curious if my robot radar is as good as I think

Was curious how it plays with hardware wallets and saw this in FAQ:

Does this mean you cannot coinjoin with wasabi without keys being hot/loaded in it (versus cold on the connected HW)?

Learned English (video games and watching Seinfeld+that 70s show with subtitles)

Souls-like games have taught me perseverance, and also patience, not getting overconfident and then greedy

learning how to choose the right coins, how to buy, sell, trade and leverage, how to use metamask, and how to find the niche exchanges to find the newest meme coin of the month, how to find the telegram groups for pumps and dumps, how to stake and all that jazz

There's lots to learn! Just nothing about ending fiat banking or transacting as we do with money.

Agree with this. Big barrier in orange pilling or just learning more about bitcoin in general. A lot of people think they are "getting into bitcoin" and "learning about bitcoin" but they are really getting into and learning about crypto at large.

I've seen many get burned and give up ostensibly forever.

Many others don't get burned but get lost in the weeds of crypto/alts too long, and it takes much longer (if ever) before even touching on the important concepts in the periphery of bitcoin, like austrian economics, the nature of inflation and fiat money and their implications. What feels like progress learning about crypto ends up being just a detour that leads to fiat games reinvented. At that point they gotta walk back downhill before climbing the hill towards the right direction again. Some unlearning and relearning to do.

Actual convo I had recently after crypto came up and I said I liked bitcoin, included bits that went something like:

"Oh I tried the whole bitcoin crypto thing a few years ago, trading and staking, yield farms, and auto market makers, all that stuff"

Do they verify you own the phone number written on the box by calling or texting you? or is there more to it beyond that

this fucking guy lmao

The effort it takes to pick up the penny is worth more than the penny, especially considering what you gotta do to get value out of that penny after.

Its arguably more economical to toss a second penny on the floor.

Love this kind of stuff.

Gonna trap up my VPS feeling like Kevin McCallister

Canadian bitcoiners together strong, no matter how silly and shitty things get

I'll put it this way:

if there is every a digital bill of rights, the right to turn off read receipts and the right to "appear offline" anywhere should be in there

I do think the "swap" word makes it confusing when first engaging with LN or Liquid. Always took a moment on Robosats when id see swapin or swap out, figuring out which one means going to LN and vice versa.

I believe this is the case too.

Basically onchain transactions expand and shrink the channel.

Receive BTC from onchain = channel capacity grows

Send BTC to onchain = channel shrinks

I assumed it was just a random copypasta from the depths of the web and finding an author would be hard but it appears this is the author.

So credit goes to one Tom O’Donnell at the New Yorker:

It's stuff like this that makes me scratch my head with all the talk of people saying they vibe coded this and vibe coded that.

How the heck do you vibe code a whole app knowing that the LLM will either hallucinate at some point or trust you too much and follow an erroneous request?
