Whether people (like you) come and reply my posts, I feel on fire. If you send sats, I'm the master of the world.

I put sometimes translations at NOSTR but yeah, my native language is español and it's funny to come here par hablar dos idiomas. Latinoamerica presente.
This part...THIS PART:
This sounds impressive until you compare it with the compliance work done by conventional financial institutions. A major bank such as HSBC employs thousands of compliance officers, a total several times larger than Tether’s entire workforce. Tether brings in 40m new customers every quarter, and there is simply no way that 20 or 30 investigators could check all these customers’ bona fides. “Tether talks a good game,” said one crypto analyst. “But their actions don’t mirror that in my experience. The vast majority of illicit activity and crypto assets have switched to Tether in recent years.”
So, let me see, the writer uses HSBC as an example. For those who want to understand this, please check how much this bank is related to drugs cartels and dead people. To audit USDT, you have on-chain analysis, you're exposed as fuck. And besides, do you know how much is the participation? Look:
Sweet Lord, the hipocrisy is high.
I have a theory over here. Those who like ETFs have profiles: the first one is they get used to make TradFi for their whole life so, they're going to move only where they are comfortable, meaning, with fiat taxes, fiat accounting, everything as intend to be because they made it like that in the last...40 years? I don't know how long they've been there.
Second profile is that amuse me because there are milennials (and all the following) who embrace bitcoin not as a solution or something, just a commodity and don't understand a thing about what are they buying. PlanB's annoucement is not concerning because he's someone who was part of TradFi, so I think his profile is the first one but the rest of people, who are willing to sacrifice their bitcoins for a piece of paper...man, they're getting rugged.
I'm not a big fan of using territories as my own backyard, seems to me that I would be doing some missuse. On the other hand, I would like to make something like that so I would move here my newsletter.
That’s because people like trash — and they like to fund trash Your trash is my treasure and viceversa, I think there is subjective value on that. However, you're right on the attention side. It's easier to create something...poppy and that's why bitcoin is for artists. They need to earn what they deserve without complications of royalties and stuff. Fountain and Wavlake are game changers.
There's a song of Calle 13 that states:
Idiocy is a disease in which the patient does not know that he is sick.
An average bitcoiner is an idiot and I know (I speak for myself) my condition because the root of the word idiot means lack of knowledge1, the more I learn, the more idiot I feel. And I think that's beautiful, especially in bitcoin.
Now, there are bitcoiners so retarded because they feel superior just for the fact they're using/spending/saving satoshis; the worst retarded bitcoiner came out of their caves in the Knots-Core debate, harrasing developers, making ad hominem fallacies and pretending to know a subject they lack of knowledge at all and they don't realize they are, as me, idiots.
So, about your being superior in certain subjects dear OP, you are. As a matter of fact, I learn a lot with you and in the past, you inspired me to write posts about topics but keep asking question (#803129). However, I have no doubts that in others skills/topic, you're an idiot.
Short conclusion: Yes, we bitcoiners, are idiots by nature but no retarded...well, maybe a little.

The English idiot originally meant “ignorant person,” but the more usual reference now is to a person who lacks basic intelligence or common sense rather than education. See Merriam-Webster ↩
WoS was my second LN wallet. My first Eclair was too harsh for those days and then I met WoS which was stupidly easy to use.
You should try it. It's a good tool specially to onboard people with little time.
AI-made-post-just-for-zap model is dead here. Yes, you can check, edit and stuff but the soul of your content remains intact

I had bad experience with github pages, so now I'm using this resource to simply do experiments. Although is not a bad idea to return to that.

NFA stands for non-financial advice
My favorite part of the morning is start reading @super_testnet's posts about Monero. You realize people who use it don't even understand about their own currency.

Tokenization, as we know it today, has more of a legal utility within our system.
At the international level, the law recognizes three types of tokens: a token (like a casino chip), which has a specific use; a token (like a bank PIN), which serves as an access credential; and tokens that hold economic value, which are referred to as digital assets.
Regarding the example mentioned, the OP has a point—tokenization today primarily serves to guarantee the immutability of a contract or object in the real world, preventing duplication of the object to be audited or verified. However, returning to the main point, these objects must be backed by a legal contract to facilitate legal processes.
I’m not against tokenization, but I don’t see much usability today unless the legal frameworks are adapted to support its use.
✅ Set clear rules: “If a house drops to 1 BTC or less, I’ll buy (sell BTC).”
This is a good advice, most people still saving in bitcoin but purchasing with fiat mentality. It's easier to rebrand our thinking to spend less and save more with this. Good one sir.
The personal filter works everytime I go to a library. This is how I work:
Step 1: Beginning the year, I come with four types of lectures I want to pursue:
- something I already know (say bitcoin or politics),
- something I know I don't know (say bitcoin programming or financial politics),
- something I don't know at all (physics, soft skills, etc)
- something for fun (last year I started to read sci-fi)
Step 2: The book I'll choose must fall into those categories and most important is to look my bookshelf and see if I'm currently reading something of that matter. For instance, say I found Bitcoin Standard by Saif but I'm currently reading Knut's books; my goal is to first finish what I started and then proceed to buy the next one. otherwise, I'll turn into a book buyer without any meaning.
Step 3: Is it worth? I mean, do you really need the book now? Can you wait more to buy it?
In that way, I pursue myself to not only buy book but also finish it.
