"Email for Bitcoin" just sounds like lnurl. Conbase couldn't figure out how to implement lightning on their own so they outsourced their lightning to a 3rd party....so its not possible for this to be useful.
Attacking Bitcoin is great for Bitcoin. Operation chokepoint is an opportunity to normalize solutions that can't be captured or shutdown.
I'm sorry but you can't separate money and state and then custody your money with a state compliant company lol
I for one am excited to head west into the undeveloped wilderness of using a website where you pay creators without depositing to the website first (although we already have it with NOSTR, but still its very much a wilderness)
It matters when I'm trying to tell someone something and they think I'm talking about something completely different than that.
Lol the salty bcrasher book. Imagine failing to hijack Bitcoin and then writing a book blaming the people you lost to as if they did what you tried to do.
Do I need to do another "Hey btw human action means humans doing actions and when people organize things that is part of although not the end all be all of what naturally means"
Self defeating userbase man.
What to do about the current disfunction in our ability to speak clearly right now?
"Wallet" gets to mean a banking app like wallet of satoshi
Bitcoin gets to mean literally any coin
A cryptocurrency gets to mean company script including that which doesn't use a blockchain
Blockchain gets to mean decentralized
Decentralized gets to mean like 3 companies are running the servers for it.
So when you mean to say the exact opposite of all of those things we don't have a word for them anymore because all of them have been co-opted, and so many Bitcoiners want to be self-defeating and not defend the meaning of the message we're trying to say.
Yes. I do not refer to SN as a wallet. Its annoying when people call SN a wallet.
The goose in the discord I'm in suggested "signing software"
Blixt signer, Pheonix signer, electrum signer.
Might create a few polls later see what words we like.
Your term for crypto investor is actually how I use the word "moonboi" interestingly enough.
But yes in addition to the technical terms that have been subverted, we should also clearly have a name that defines us specifically. Right now its "Bitcoin maxi" lmao
I have thought about this before with things like "wallet". A bank app (or Bitcoin custodian company if you prefer) calls itself "Wallet of Satoshi", but my understanding of wallet was that it was supposed to be a non-custodial application. There is precedent for digital banking apps (like CashApp) to call themselves "digital wallets" though. So maybe we should be using a different word to describe our software?
This anon is not the first to realize the dire need to define terms. Neither am I and neither is GiGi, although you may enjoy his article as well: https://dergigi.com/2022/06/27/the-words-we-use-in-bitcoin/
Lets define some terms.
Yes Blixt has lightning address. My blixt lightning address is nerd2ninja@blixtwallet.com
They call it "lightning box"
