Governments trying to kyc/tax all btc will actually lead to remain btc in self-custody and actually spending it instead of converting it into fiat. This would be an ironic consequence ;)

self hosting is best but indeed the you need very expensive hardware to make it run smoothly

is it me or is nostr still going strong? I keep going back as well and after a few scrolls my brain actually seems to retain some dopamine.

Could anybody tell me if running a bitcoin node without tor is "safe" or is running a node with tor a 'must'.

Wow, bitchat apparently growing rapidly in Uganda

thanks, but probably true ;-)

I will do the same, ditching windows for mac. Linux purely for a node, storage etc.

Thanks for the inspiration, will read this one

great post John, entirely true

Haha thx, was looking to quickly. I connected financial institutions to Coinbase the crypto casino ;-)

you still think the ledger nano s is safe to use to store and transact bitcoin on?
