Will There Be Enough Bitcoin for Everyone?

0xbitcoiner

Not for everyone. Some will never want to use Bitcoin or to see people using Bitcoin. There's enough Bitcoin only for those who are ready.

Pricing small-value items, below 1 BTC, in satoshis (e.g., coffee for 10,000 sats) and high-value items, above 100 million sats, in BTC (e.g., a house for 3 BTC) simplifies transactions and increases familiarity with Bitcoin as the best monetary standard.

Honestly, How do you know, you are not a slave? 

I know “The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he’s in prison.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky 

TL;DR

> Free, in all cases, means not moved or forced, without any feeling of constraint: the mere fact of being able to make one's own life an experiment, without any authorization from any man, institution or government.

Meme Monday - Best Bitcoin Meme Gets 10,000 Sats

Thanks to God for Satoshi. Thanks to Satoshi for Bitcoin. 

They surely catch fire🔥

True Bitcoiners understand Bitcoin to be sovereignty, privacy, and resilience. To openly disclose how much sats you hold, is contrary to the principle of staying humble while stacking sats, to secure one's wealth privately. Michael Saylor's public assertions are more consistent with a corporate position than with individual wisdom. A true Bitcoiner stacks sats quietly because their journey is personal, not performative. "Stay humble, stack sats" is a reminder that Bitcoin is a vehicle for freedom and not an avenue for boasting. Each sat stacked is a step toward independence, taken quietly so that safety and modesty may trump pride and showboating. 

Why do some people boast about how much sats they buy or hold?

"happy fiat slaves". Your guides help anyone who wants to become a sovereign individual. Thank you Darth.

Mutiny Wallet is a self-custodial Bitcoin Lightning wallet designed to work across various web browsers and mobile devices with particular regard to the user privacy and security. The application ensures seamless sending and receiving of Bitcoin instantly with minimal channel-management hassle. More importantly, it was open-source, enabling users to host their instance for increased self-sovereignty. However, the team announced in August 2024 that it would be closing its doors by the end of the year due to technical issues and changed priorities. Users were called to move their funds and investigate self-hosting options before December 31st, 2024, when the proceedings completely shut down. 

Since then, Coinos Wallet has been a great leap forward for the Bitcoin maximalists. Coinos provides a vast set of functionalities: it incorporates the Lightning Network, works for on-chain transactions, follows BOLT12, allows for eCash, has a Nostr connector, and even supports LNURLw; thanks to all that, a wide variety of secure user operations with their Bitcoins are possible. Its adaptability to incorporate such a high number of prevalent applications gives Coinos great utility to the common user and astute developers who want to deal with complex Bitcoin transactions.

Coinos offers a user-friendly interface, with a major emphasis on privacy and security. Under the shifting mentality one is seeing nowadays in the Bitcoin wallets space, it presents something quite interesting to the people who are migrating from the previous Mutiny Wallet. 

The Almost Forgotten Wallet

Bitcoin is not going to kill the dollar 💵 the dollar is already dead in the 💦

piecover

Very true.
> Without a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve(SBR) the us dollar is down 92% against bitcoin in the past 5 years, from already a 99% collapse 5 years before that, so on and so forth, if this is not a complete collapse against Bitcoin I don't know what is. This is not because of Bitcoin the dollar is collapsing, no Bitcoin is just exposing the theft and the scam in plain sight, the money printing scam or currency devaluation by the banksters, the govt and the Fed, those are the only group responsible for the dollar collapsing. But Bitcoin is not going to save dollar neither.
Implementing an (SBR) Strategic Bitcoin Reserve cannot save the dollar in any way it can only help prolong the lifespan of the banksters(benefit them most) and buy fiat more time, but the game is up. 

Bitcoin aims to empower the people. Not the banks and corporations. The elites are the enemies of mankind.

Thank you for sharing this.

Still don't forget, the goal is Individual Sovereignty.

I've not been very active recently on SN. Here's the Why!

SN release: not custodians

Thank you @k00b and team. This is great way to start a new year.

Hello everyone.

My name is Kondwani Konyani, a Bitcoin Volunteer in Malawi.

I have a good news and sad story to share. I've not been very active recently on SN, due to my wife's condition. I promised myself to keep engaged in Bitcoin discussions. But... I recently posted here https://stacker.news/items/809569, about a new life expected into my family.

The miracle of new life graced our family last week in this quiet hospital room when a baby boy was born via a C-section. Another Satoshi, because we are all Satoshi-a name that means hope, resilience, and the promise of a better future-finally joined us. His first cries brought joy into the room, like the infinity of a new beginning.

Yet, the joy of today is overcome with fear and concern, as my wife, Evidence, who brought and carried this son into this world, lie in a bad condition. Worsening conditions of the wound after surgery degrading her general health in galloping speed, the same love and affection she had extended to bring alive our beloved son now had to be compensated a thousand folds.

As I hold our son and whisper in faintness to him dreams of strength and a future filled with possibility, my heart is heavy with worry. We need your help—your advice, your prayers, and your support. My wife's life hangs in the balance, and I'm reaching out in desperation. Please guide us.

Here's her Lightning Addresses:

We're very grateful for your support.

> A king waives his hand and gives fiat value. But there is no King of Bitcoin. Right? Wrong. It’s us.

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/takes/bitcoin-is-fiat

This argument is totally wrong.
In Fiat Standard, kings decide what value to assign the tokens, and the slaves obey.

In Bitcoin Standard, there's no king, no slave. We're all Satoshi.

Yes, You're Wrong
