Mhh, maybe it would be fun if the biggest zapper on the best items of the day get extra rewards since you don't have accurate data on how much others zapped. There is already some incentive to zap big but I think some more which is also fun wouldn't hurt.

If multiple zappers have the same biggest zap, these extra rewards are distributed.

Stackers' Jealousy, 2024

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @0xbitcoiner 1h

Jealousy? That's a new one on me!

Jealousy is a complex emotion that encompasses feelings ranging from suspicion to rage to fear to humiliation. It strikes people of all ages, genders, and sexual orientations, and is most typically aroused when a person perceives a threat to a valued relationship from a third party. The threat may be real or imagined.

Reading #691712 from our wise mage made me wonder: how many "bitcoin companies" rather drive bitcoin adoption instead of being driven by it?

Bitcoin companies in quotation marks since it’s a loose definition.

119 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b 5h

This is informed by a lot of founder's pitchdecks that are like "we moon when bitcoin does." Bitcoin may take longer than a lifetime to reach mass adoption and there's some chance it always remains an obscure asset. If people can choose, they shouldn't choose for their company's growth to critically depend on more things outside of their control than they have to. Further, if your company's "secret" is dependence on something outside of your control, it won't be a secret for very long and you can't expect to durably capture the value it produces. They wish to confound the passive benefits of holding bitcoin with running a company; "if I can just stand around with my hands out long enough gold will fall into them."

Hey @k00b I tried to set my desired wallet balance back to zero to test if I had gotten myself out of whatever NWC prison I was in and I got the following error message:

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'includes')

20 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b 6h

hmmmm @ek does this sound familiar?

20 sats \ 0 replies \ @ek 6h

No but it could be caused if the get_info response doesn't actually contain methods since that's one example where we call includes in the given context:

{
    "result_type": "get_info",
    "result": {
            "alias": "string",
            "color": "hex string",
            "pubkey": "hex string",
            "network": "string", // mainnet, testnet, signet, or regtest
            "block_height": 1,
            "block_hash": "hex string",
            "methods": ["pay_invoice", "get_balance", "make_invoice", "lookup_invoice", "list_transactions", "get_info"], // list of supported methods for this connection
    }
}

But that would be a weird error, why would that suddenly happen for an existing connection.

20 sats \ 4 replies \ @ek 6h

You got this message by only changing the withdraw threshold ("desired balance")?

100 sats \ 3 replies \ @grayruby 5h

Yes. I had it at zero yesterday but zaps were not going through because I reached some rate limit with coinos on my NWC so I switched it to 2500 sats yesterday so that I could zap. I wanted to test if my rate limit issue was resolved today and if I had just been given at time out or if it was something that persisted so I switched the desired balance back to 0 and got that error message when I tried to save.

Maybe because of my rate limit issue I need to delete the connection and attach again?

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @ek 5h

Ohh, a rate limit causing this makes a lot of sense! But that means their error response is not in the standardised format we expect. Will look into that, thank you!

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 5h

Should I detach the wallet and then attach again as a means of getting around rate limit issue?

Stackers zapping the most popular post, 2007

36 sats \ 2 replies \ @DarthCoin 6h

I am zapping in chunks, not all at once. If I want to comment first, then I zap the 1st chunk so others will not deduct that was me zapping first. After the comment, I wait for others to comment and zap more, then I zap more. Sometimes even next day or next days, when people forgot about that post.

I also like to zap the OP if is giving to others good answers. I notice that in AMAs that people once they get an answer from OP, do not zap them for the effort to answer. even if you do not like it, is a nice gesture to zap something in response.

The whole mockery with the pagers exploding is just a small part that people do not want to see it.

Remember the always present pattern: problem - reaction - solution.

This was an orchestrated move towards even more restrictions for you, the normal guy. Soon you will not be anymore allowed to carry with you a phone, laptop or any device with a battery. In planes, trains, busses etc. They will come up with all kind of excuses and methods to restrict you and control your communications.

And Darth is calling it here on SN so you will remember it. @remindme in 1 year

21 sats \ 2 replies \ @kepford 6h

Agree with you on the problem -> reaction -> solution pattern. It happens. I doubt this is an example though. In the US they have done it over and over again. I don't see them being able to make people leave their phones. If you wanna real uprising take people's phones away. Second, the phone is to valuable to the state. Its their best method of tracking people. They aren't gonna try to keep people from using them.

What they might do is require a "scan" and become more invasive in their searches.

Also, unless this happens in the western country no one will care enough to raise security levels. Its just a fact. If someone tries something like this in the US or Europe then you might see increased restrictions.

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @DarthCoin 6h

the phone is to valuable to the state.

Yes, when you are not in a space where they are in control... but I am talking about you jumping into a plane, train. bus, where they have FULL control over you and they know who are you and where you go. They don't need so much that phone, they can say "ok we will keep it for you in a safe box and you will get back when you finish your travel".

Nah, to much trouble. In the US when they had the "shoe bomber" they just started making you take off your shoes.

This is a real question. I can manage some invest for the company, but it is not allowed to buy BTC. The only option is a BTC Spot ETF. Which one do you suggest and why?

110 sats \ 2 replies \ @DarthCoin 7h

none. If you do not buy real BTC you better don't buy anything else. ETFs are a fucking big scam.

If that company is so dumb to not have BTC as reserves and also start paying employees from that reserve, then you better find another place.

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @IgnaciobTato 7h

99% of companies are dumb then because they don't have btc, but btc adoption for coporation is slower than individuals. First you need to buy btc and register that purchase. then have a legal department, compliance, account management, accountancy for valuation, manage lost sats during tx, etc.

So if a company wants a non-custody btc option, like its already having non-custody stocks, bonds, accounts, what shall it do?

“So you think that you're a failure, do ya? Well, you probably are. What's wrong with that? In the first place, if you have any sense at all, we pay just as dearly for our triumphs as we do for our defeats. Go ahead and fail! But fail with wit, fail with grace, fail with style. A mediocre failure is as insufferable as a mediocre success. Embrace failure! Seek it out. Learn to love it. That may be the only way any of us will ever be free.” ― Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

This quote came from a character in the book I'm reading (I'm liking it so much, I'm thinking book review to come) who is a new psychiatrist that doesn't listen to his patients but instead works out his own problems through them. Only such a thing could occur in fiction, right?? Hmmm

I say HODL post this on nostr and thought it would be good to put it here. fiat mindset trigger warning --

Using @Michael Saylor's base case (13MM a coin by 2045) as the example…

Saving $20 a week = $1,200,000 in 2045 Saving $50 a week = $3,000,000 in 2045 Saving $100 a week = $6,000,000 in 2045 Saving $500 a week = $30,000,000 in 2045 Saving $1,000 a week = $60,000,000 in 2045

Now let’s get properly bullish and use Saylors bull case 🐂 of $49 million per coin by 2045.

Saving $20 a week = $3,600,000 in 2045 Saving $50 a week = $9,000,000 in 2045 Saving $100 a week = $18,200,000 in 2045 Saving $500 a week = $90,000,000 in 2045

Saving $1,000 a week = $181,500,000 in 2045

If you save $20-$50 a week over the next 21 years you will end up with somewhere between 1.2 and 9 million dollars.

-- IMO, even if fiat is really declining, 3 mil will still be a pretty decent chunk of change

34 sats \ 2 replies \ @grayruby 6h

This is based on a persistent annual growth rate. It is plausible that sometime during this time period we have a tipping point or black swan event and Bitcoin skyrockets to many millions over the course of a couple years and then slowly grinds up. Depending on when this happens in the 21 year period you could end up with a lot more than this (if it is in the last few years) or a lot less than this (if it is in the first few years).

So I would caution against stating if you save $20-$50 a week over the next 21 years you will end up between 1.2M and 9M. However, this is a good reminder that daily or weekly dca and letting compounding do its work will get you where you want to be in the long term.

Listened to Saylor on Saif's podcast and he talked about this. It sounds like his assumptions are not based on the dollar collapsing or anything drastic really. Econ keeps moving, dollar is still the dominate money in the world. Basically bitcoin as an asset sucking up gold's market share and some of many other things. That's a pretty conservative view IMO. I suspect we will see a massive event in the next 20 years which could make bitcoin in relation to the dollar skyrocket. That said, I like Saylor's look at it because if you are using the dollar as you unit of account and you assume it is just going to keep inflating these numbers aren't crazy.

Now if we have a black swan bitcoin in relation to dollars could be even more massive but its purchasing power might be closer to Saylor's numbers. Its all just speculation though.

61 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby 5h

All speculation indeed. I do think they can kick the fiat can down the road longer than most bitcoiners believe possible but I am in your camp I find it hard to believe we don't have some kind of black swan for the fiat system over the next 20 years. Will that be its demise, who knows, but something is going to happen to have it at least in extreme peril.

Justinian Law:

The Byzantine Empire was founded in the year A.D. 330 and is also referred to as the Eastern Roman Empire which was the continuation of the Roman Empire, throughout the Middle Ages.

Justinian I also known as Justinian the Great, was the Byzantine emperor from A.D. 527 to A.D. 565. He was responsible for creating the Code of Justinian, Roman Civil Law, or Corpus Juris, which is Latin for “body of law”.

The Corpus Juris is essentially military law, which is made up of the following:

Law of the legally dead.
Law of the Sea.
Law of the private merchant bankers.
Law of Corporations.

The modern day version of Corpus Juris controls foreign governing corporations and the banking system, which include the United Nations, United States and European Union as they are all corporations.

Accursius, who was a Roman Jurist, meaning he was an expert in writing law, perfected the Corpus-Juris in A.D. 1230 with the introduction of the surname, just after the signing of the Magna Carta.

The Magna Carta gave the people the law of the land; however they were tricked into the jurisdiction of Corpus-Juris with the acceptance of the surname written in all caps.

With the creation of the surname, and illiteracy of the Plebeians within the Plebetoral system, the people were enslaved by accepting the title civilian, under the control of the civil law system.

The Byzantine Empire fell in the year 1453, although the legal system continued to this day.
