Many LN wallets/nodes use a non BIP39 seed phrase
Satoshi is the biggest hodler, that greedy bastard!
If only he would spend those coins, and dump the exchange rate (temporarily) and buy himself an island, and a fleet of Bugatti. Only then, would he become a generous saint /s
This idea that saving is greedy is a product of the fiat system. Those closest to the money printer are responsible for distributing the new money to the people.
Since Bitcoin has fair issuance, there is no longer a duty by the rich to spend. In fact, by holding, he makes everyone richer.
never selling anything is greed
HODL is the opposite of greed.
How greedy must someone be to spend a token he can earn back tomorrow in order to benefit from the use of another person's time that they can never get back?
His twitter name literally says "$650k BTC is the Floor"
I'm guessing he meant $0.065m ($65k)
Also, in this tweet, he uses "insure" when he probably meant "ensure".
Either way, its great that bitcoiners who don't know math or grammar are the ones proposing "comprehensive executive orders" to the next american regime. /s
Basically its because North America is owned by "Big Oil".
Some lobbying from oil tycoons in the 1950's led to Zoning rules that still require any new commercial building to include a ridiculous amount of parking spaces.
There are currently 4x parking spaces for every registered automobile in USA.
This zoning regulation had the side effect of creating asphalt oceans everywhere which only makes cities more "unwalkable".
These zoning regulations mean companies have to buy 20-80% more land to supply "adequate" parking. Obviously, this makes prices higher since the company will just pass this "free parking" cost to the customer.
In some ways, owning a car is expensive in USA (registration fees, tax, mandatory insurance premiums, fuel, maintenance, etc.)
But in other ways, NOT having a car is even more expensive. You still pay the "free parking" tax on all your groceries whether you parked your car there or took the bus.

100% of territories are broke (waste of money -- a donation to k00b)
Until ~tech or ~DIY become profitable, what chance does a niche within those topics have? Just post about 3d printing to these territories.
Help them stop losing money first.
Hustle dreams of 3d printed bikes, and shoes, vinyl records and record players, firearms and silverware
Inferior products and micro plastics swimming in your food.
This is not what 3d printing is for.
The benefits of 3d printing are for making unique models that can ONLY be manufactured using additive manufacturing.
Or for making low-volume, highly customized models that don't make sense to mass produce.
Mass production is always the goal. 3d printed prototypes can help a product find a market before spending the money to manufacture in bulk.

The difference between selling and stealing is convincing the person to give you the money instead of taking it yourself. That's it.
I feel pretty convinced to give money when I'm staring down the barrel of a firearm.
Many were convinced to give money to Celcius and FTX, but that turned out to be a fraud/theft.
As long as the other person "feels good" about paying for something, it is a legal sale.
Plenty of legal sales end in 1-star reviews with no refund and angry customers. Sales is just another form of theft.
I just don't think its so black and white. Society seems to demonize and criminalize some forms of theft and ignore/glorify other forms.
Those who can consistently and blatantly steal and get away with it are often the most powerful entities in society.
I like this scene
Everyone steals. Even when both parties think they've gained something from a transaction, one side objectively got the better deal and the other side settled for less. They allowed someone to take more than they could have.
Be a thief. But don't get caught. That's the contract with society. If they don't get caught, they've earned it.
The greatest companies are those that can steal the most from their customers and get away with it.
In all encounters, don't be the one who settles, be the one who steals. Don't let those who steal from you get away with it.
Hardest part is data cleaning. What source/API do you use to scrape for "news" ?
Do these sources have limits or require subscriptions?
How do you know an article is about a particular country/region?
Maybe the article doesn't mention any country by name, instead uses other tangential references like "Putin, Federal Reserve, etc."
You can just search Google News for "bitcoin [country name]"
Much of the "cutting edge" features of these newer models won't even work once you flash graphene. Stuff like google's AI camera features, etc.
Turns out, older phones have improved performance and battery life when you remove all the bloat and "phone-home" anti-features.
Just get one in the $200-400 range. Use the remaining $600 from your phone budget to buy a server/nas to begin self-hosting your cloud data too.
The Telegram founder will sell you an NFT that you can use to sign up for telegram without a phone number
don't require a consensus change
This is why I'm bullish. eCash is actually happening right now.
Let's hurry up and build (or rule out) every non-consensus solution. Then, after building them all, let's also consider changing consensus.
We can try all solutions at once
Agree its possible. But there are tremendous advantages to having focus. Time is scarce and so are the number of people with skills, resources and desire to build.
Builders are free to try a dozen things that are centralized and learn one-by-one (the hard and long way) why Bitcoin has to remove central issuers and custodians to continue to operate outside state control.
