Being a Bitcoiner is a bit exactly like being an Audiophile. Some of us just love music; others love arguing about the best equipment and “the right way” to do everything and have strange fetishes for specific brands of cap and gold plated everything and hate on others for just having fun - while normies still think we’re all a bit mad but we’re sure they’ll feel liberated when they finally get it 😂

iPod gang

Rather randomly, I’ve recently picked up an old #iPod classic 5th gen and am loving it so far. (despite the upgrade to use SD card storage being way harder than it’s supposed to be on this cursed iPod 🤣) iPods are low time preference. Streaming is just somebody else’s music. Listening to a podcast on an iPod is strangely a more engaging experience, and interruption free - you can’t just check Twitter/Nostr/get a call. A related note, I can’t find an existing solution for “buy my whole music library” which is weird because I want to give someone money and they’re making it hard 🤷‍♂️ Also Apple Music is a bit jank with importing MP3s - it works, but 50/50 whether it matches to the streaming version of the album you already had (yay) or creates duplicates (not yay)
