Great progress to further intertwine Nostr with bitcoin standards and create further adoption of bitcoin hardware wallet solutions. A strong technical counter to NIP-69 and a win for the #bitcoin community.

In the mean time, I would encourage you to learn how to spend those sats. Why hold any fiat at all? Now is the time for #bitcoin.

After orange pilling my barber, I’m looking to expand into the wider community. I’m thinking I’ll pay my dinner bills in fiat, if the business requires, but ask the server if they’ll accept their tip in ⚡️. 5-10% sweetener on the typical 20% if they say yes and accept tip in ⚡️?

Please 🙏 share your experience and advice on injecting ⚡️ into your local economy.

Jaime Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan, calls Bitcoin a scam and then impolitely explains how he doesn’t know a single fucking thing about #Bitcoin

He certainly understands government handouts and inflation, and made his fortune during a 40yr period of real wage stagnation.

#nostrplebs #plebchain Fiat grind was hard today. The work feels more meaningful when I convert my pay into #bitcoin. Knowing that my earnings won’t be diminished by the foolish deficit spending of my grand-governors helps me sleep at night. Well, that and a multisig wallet 🛌.

Dear #plebchain and #nostrplebs

My 10year old daughter, Olivia, is raising money for her school in their annual READ-A-THON. Unfortunately, they only accept dirty fiat money (and charge $1.25 per donation). She and I setup a lighting wallet and webpage to accept ⚡️ donations.

Please consider donating ⚡️ or re-posting if you are interested to support.

2023 BTC ⚡️ adoption story 6

BitRefill purchased Safeway giftcards now show up directly in the app with scannable barcode. Bought the groceries tonight with a ⚡️ purchased gift card after the total was tallied up. Took less than 30s. It is so easy now that Safeway should just say they take bitcoin ⚡️. Shamelessly attached my BitRefill referral for anyone who is looking to move to the Bitcoin standard.

Anyone messing around on #Stacks? Still early but big progress since blockstack days. Key utility features coming together:
1. USDC(Eth) <-> xUSD(STX) bridge coming to ALEX.co DeFi site next month
2. Trustless BTC peg in/peg out to sBTC on Stacks layer 2 (see video)

These two capabilities will pull liquidity back from Ethereum (PoS) to Bitcoin. If you are looking to build DeFi on #bitcoin, please read up on Stacks.

Better question: has the market priced in the $31,000,000,000,000 USD in US national debt?

The smallest denomination of US currency is one cent. One cent currently buys 53 satoshis. Hard to see how this doesn’t go below 1 satoshi by end of decade.

Really enjoying BitRefill as a way to switch my household budget to the bitcoin standard (convert pay to BTC, hold as BTC, spend BTC for purchases). Today, it was dog food from PetCo. To date, Amazon, Safeway, DoorDash, and Lowe’s. The 1% rewards in Satoshis is a great bonus.

Here is my referral link if you are interested to try BitRefill:

Whatever the macroeconomic conditions, one truth remains the same. Governments will deficit spend, issue debt, and print money. This their way. We need #bitcoin

brian — Sun, 08 Jan 2023 01:08:07 GMT

It is a lovely sentiment, but I believe the bitcoin economy will come from spending it not holding it. So, the future lies somewhere in between. For example on Thursday, I received my wages in bitcoin via direct deposit conversion at Strike. Then, today I purchased a Safeway grocery gift card on BitRefill which I promptly converted to food for my family. I experienced an increase in buying power of my bitcoin of 1.7% (1% in Satoshi rewards from BitRefill and 0.7% increase in bitcoin/USD value). #bitcoin #⚡️ #justuseit

15 hours until the next stacks reward block. Thank you stacks PoX miners for my Satoshi rewards. I love paying down my loan principal with the rewards yielded by my STX loan collateral on https://arkadiko.finance

Self-paying loans are boss AF. USDA isn’t the stablest of stablecoin but I love what their building at Arkadiko and the upcoming USDC/xUSD bridge at ALEX will help to bring more liquidity to the protocol and help people escape the Ethereum Proof of Shitcoin ecosystem.

Still early day for Stacks but it is my favorite L2 DeFi solution because of PoX and proper resolution to the #bitcoin blockchain.

2023 BTC ⚡️ adoption story 5

Heatbit Useful Heat generator update: about go over 10,000 sats. So far so good. Really looking to see how this retail market sector grows. I could see an oil immersion setup combined with a heat pump being a potential platform to scale for larger multi-room heating needs.

Today, I spent around 4,000,000 sats on expenses. Managed to avoid conversion fees by shipping around for gift card options and even stacked 40,000 sats in rewards. Looking for Bitcoin buying power to increase as fiat buying power continues to decline. End of month will be interesting when I compare final expenses. Definitely, I am becoming much more spending aware as I look to convert more expenses to BTC.
