I guess my guidance councillor didn't lead me astray...rooting for this site to become profitable.

Fair. I'll boost him some more. I am not jealous...I swear...hah

One can dream...

Everything is extreme right when you're standing on the far left. Cheer up mate. As you nostriches say, pura vida.

I was just thinking today that SN is better than hopping on Nostr where the problem is finding interesting content and people to follow.

I never was good at math...whatever the number is, congrats. The site is great and the concept is fantastic.

Sounds like good advice.

And if you want to see what ppl are offering online/what's on the market for foreign buyers (i.e for the other side of the story), I have found this twitter account interesting:

I agree that their intent seems to be to say that you can't commercialise the Umbrel OS software, but it is also confusing and they should clarify that is the intent. Sure hope the intent is not to say you can't use it for commercial purposes to run BTCPay Server for a business. That's the whole purpose of BTCPay Server.

Could be just another platform to use in tandem with what the 'creator' already usees. A supplementary more niche market. Why not post to both?

Credit card charge backs are a massive problem for ordinary e-commerce retailers, so I imagine they are a huge problem for porn sites.

I agree with this. Great way to get people into running their own node.

I bought a refurbished PC, put linux on it and downloaded their software. Runs smooth. $300.

Oh! That makes sense! Pheww

Also, I know my pops has some. Worried he won't properly deal with how to set things up if he wants to pass things on. Hard conversation to have.

After reading this, I want to time lock like .1 BTC for prospective grandchildren/next generation as well. I'll take care of my kid(s) in a will and BTC etc., but how baller would it be to find a way to buy .1 BTC now for a future generation that doesn't exist. Find a method to get it to them hah. The "Bitcoin Legacy".

Super interesting. I didn't realize there was a US SCC case on code as speech.

As a US lawyer, do you think that is where Biden's policy is going?

One thought I had...in all of the 'Chokepoint 2.0' 'crackdown' there hasn't been anything, as far as I can tell, to suggest bitcoin would ever be illegal in the US. They are trying to cut on-off ramps, starve 'crypto banks', deny fed master accounts to banks like Custodia etc.

But even considering the Wells Notice sent to Coinbase, it wouldn't be in respect of bitcoin, it would only be in respect of all the other 'crypto'. So, if there is a crack down on all non-bitcoin crypto, that may be a good thing for bitcoin.

Also, if some key legal battles are won, like the Bitcoin ETF litigation, SEC vs. Ripple, and Coinbase vs. SEC, there could be quite a future that unravels.

Mix that with presidential candidates who are pro Bitcoin (Kennedy, DeSantis, etc), could be in for an interesting ride.
