It appears I have two separate wallets linked to this nostr profile. One from my NIP5 with Alby and one created automatically from Primal.
Trying to decide which one to keep and how best to consolidate. Any suggestions?
It's okay to be sentimental about a notebook that says "buy bitcoin".
It's okay to be sentimental about satoshis that can be traced back to the coinbase transaction in block 840,000.
If ViaBTC was able to identify the ASIC that mined block 840,000 and auctioned it off to someone who was sentimental, that'd be okay too.
During the ETF approval process, the Securities and Exchange Commission tasked their research department with learning the details about bitcoin. The researchers were so impressed by bitcoin's mechanisms that they decided to go against Gensler's direction, and secretly participate in the network directly. To this day the SEC mining pool retains 1% of the hashrate.
If you thought the moon temporarily eclipsing the sun was a cool, rare event:
Keep an eye out tomorrow, when you can watch live as bitcoin permanently eclipses gold in terms of stock-to-flow ratio, officially dethroning the commodity leader for millennia.
Like the solar eclipse, we could predict this event many years in advance, because bitcoin has transparent and reliable rules which could be compared to the laws of physics.
1 year is not always a great measure of progress towards someoneβs low time preference goals.
4 year #bitcoin halving cycles can be much better.
Time to reflect: where were you last halving? Where do you want to be next halving (2028)?
What are your New Epoch Resolutions?
Itβs quite possible that at some point we see a coordinated effort by the establishment and mainstream media to convince the public that the cryptography protecting bitcoin is no longer secure or highly vulnerable.
Not because itβs true, but as a last-ditch effort to lower prices for the old guard to scoop up.
This could be one of the hardest tests for the hodlers. Only those who have learned to deeply mistrust the media, and/or have internalized the binary outcome of bitcoin vs. dystopia (willing to hold no matter what & prepared to go down with the ship), may emerge unscathed.
