Gave up my old Lightning nodeโ€”never hit positive ROI. Back at it with a smaller setup for a trustless personal payment channel. Alby is a great tool alongside my Umbrel humming in the background with its Alby hub, Lightning node, and Bitcoin knot. #Nostr #Bitcoin #Alby #Umbrel #Bitkoin_knot

Just did my duty for the Bitcoin community: donated 0.03 BTC ๐Ÿ˜… My Core Lightning wallet froze. Made a backup. Reset Umbrel. Turns out the backup was corrupted after full node resync. Coins are likely gone forever โ€“ and the supply just got smaller. Youโ€™re welcome, fellow hodlers โ€“ you now own a slightly bigger piece ๐Ÿ˜‰โšก๏ธ #Bitcoin

Central bank chief Bache warns: if crypto becomes more intertwined with traditional finance, it could amplify market turmoil. Is this a threat? What can central banks really doโ€”other than issue warnings and explore their own digital currencies? ๐Ÿค” #crypto #finance #centralbanks
The best way to escape the fiat system is to optimize the process of converting fiat to Bitcoin โ€” and then make BTC usable for everyday life as easily as possible. Everyone in Bitcoin knows that Lightning adoption is still limited in daily commerce. Thatโ€™s why I use Xapo as my bank. All my fiat is converted to Bitcoin there, and I use the Xapo Mastercard for daily spending. BTC is seamlessly converted to local currency at the point of sale โ€” giving me maximum Bitcoin exposure and minimal fiat interaction. #Bitcoin #BitcoinStandard #Lightning #Xapo #EscapeFiat

โ€œOnce a seed.โ€ The calling came many years ago. Everyone may have thought it was forgotten. But seeds grow in secret. And now we see it: God has watered, shaped, waited. The great tree doesnโ€™t come in haste, but in faithfulness. I want to stand in the light and let my roots grow deep. It is not too late. The seed lives. #Calling #Faithfulness #Growth #Hope #OnceASeed ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒณ image
๐ŸŒฉ๏ธ Opening a new LN+ Triangle โ€“ seeking solid, cooperative peers! Iโ€™m opening a 3M sat triangle swap via LN+ and looking for two active node operators who are building seriously for the long term.
