It's hard for me to understand why people want bitcoin and at the same time not self custody. Why not just buy an ETF or something?

There's a problem with the mute. I can see the comments from someone who I have muted without touching the eye. It's already happened many times. The latest is when I hovered to my bio and I found the comment open.

I feel like I heard Saylor say once that buying bitcoin when you have a mortgage with a bank is the same thing as buying it with leverage. Like you basically owe the bank every penny, except you have set terms. What are stackers' thoughts on this?

Maybe for turbo zapping we should let you define the base of the exponent. 10 is not fine enough for me sometimes and I don't love the popup.

It'd be really cool if we could let you define your own zap scaling function. Then again, I think I'm zappiest person on earth atm.

It's kind of crazy how damaging spending money poorly is. We often talk about money spent poorly as if the only problem it creates is the inability to spend it later, but you could be feeding a cancer.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Rothbardian_fanatic 15h

You feed cancer with sugar. How apropos that you feed fiat with wild spending. I guess the results are the same.

25 sats \ 2 replies \ @DarthCoin 19h

Fiat is the biggest cancer. Yet many people do not want to stop feeding that cancer.

15 sats \ 0 replies \ @Rothbardian_fanatic 15h

They just don’t know how to stop feeding cancer. I have been to a recovering cancer patient club where they give people sweet treats and candy as “refreshments”. It is crazy.

@Satosora please do not make me commenting on territories that I mute them #816667 I decided to not answer any of them.

Today I attached the wallet again to receive and send, now with NWC and I have to admit that the user experience has improved compared to WebLN. One of the things I like about having attached wallets is that you can see who also has it, via SN notifications.

After LN, I think the NWC is the best next invention in Bitcoinlandia! It's simply wonderful!

That's why I proposed "NO leaderboard, no rewards"... #796213

I do not like when others are sneaking into leaderboard to see who I zapped, what I zapped, when, and how much.

YES, I zap as anon, but not my own posts as many think.... that is totally useless and counter-productive (you are literally giving away sats to SN).

Another method was to donate to SN pool, but that is feeding the assmilkers and I DO NOT WANT THAT ANYMORE!

The only way now is to zap as anon those that deserve. Simply withdraw and zap from external wallets those that really deserve.

A Stoic Resurrection: #662497

131 sats \ 3 replies \ @Coinsreporter 19 Dec

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.

To know yourself, you have to be able to see yourself objectively. The “you” that knows yourself cannot be the same as the “self” that you know. If you can’t do this, you’re doomed to always just doing and feeling the stuff that you always did and felt. You can’t do anything about it if you’re always in it.

Here's Alexander Pope in An Essay on Man: Epistle II https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44900/an-essay-on-man-epistle-ii

Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind is Man. Placed on this isthmus of a middle state, A being darkly wise and rudely great: With too much knowledge for the Sceptic side, With too much weakness for the Stoic's pride, He hangs between; in doubt to act or rest, In doubt to deem himself a God or Beast, In doubt his mind or body to prefer; Born but to die, and reasoning but to err; Alike in ignorance, his reason such Whether he thinks too little or too much: Chaos of thought and passion, all confused; Still by himself abused, or disabused; Created half to rise and half to fall; Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all; Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled: The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!

For anyone following along with my company getting bought out. The new owners came by and had a meeting. Apparently they are increasing our 401k match. Giving us overtime at 40 hours instead of 45 (previous company was 45), and giving us raises.

This is obviously much better than what I imagined would happen, so hopefully they fommow through on what they've said.
