The conversation moves into hands-on UTXO management, multisig cold storage best practices (physical backups over digital), and a sober take on privacy tools like PayJoin, CoinJoin, ARC, and Spark. The episode wraps with the usual value-for-value boost segment, highlighting community topics and events and reading the boosts! Reed's Meetup: westernmassbitcoin.com Rev's Meetup: So...

210 Came for the Bitcoin, stayed for the FOSS. There are so many Linux distros that I believe anyone can find the one for them. You can find tiny ones that will run on super old hardware lime Tiny and Puppy. Others like Linux Mint come loaded with Office suites and other useful programs. Once a person dives into Linux I don't think there is any going back.

5k What an episode. Holy cow. Still digesting everything. The lyric in the AI song at the end that is something like, “zero point crumbles to proof of work” has put like 800 more thoughts in my head about free energy and the difficulty adjustment. This is a must listen. Kudos gents.

5k Late 90s, early 2000s underground hip hop was the most submersive music out there. Eminem pre record deal album “Infinite” remains the greatest rap album ever.

2.1k @npub12eml5kmtr… and @npub1emdtsxly9… Are markets where you can place bets that are truly undeliverable (you don’t have the asset taking a futures contract that specifies delivery, or naked shorting), immoral? Do we call this fraud? Assumed risk by the participants? How do we define these kinds of scenarios? Because they do affect the price of assets.

Just boosted ⚡ 5,000 sats to @Local Bitcoiners for Ep. 25 "Bitdevs are Bitcoin Meetups w/Shinobi: Chicago, IL | Ep. 025" This episode is possibly my favorite one so far. Sometimes you just need to hear how it really is vs what the main narratives are. Fact is, we have a long, long, LONG way to go with hardware wallets in regards to true self sovereignty without serious risks. https://fountain.fm/episode/dk5LtelNmExXCEjGLitt https://localbitcoiners.com

Just boosted ⚡ 999 sats to @Local Bitcoiners for Ep. 25 "Bitdevs are Bitcoin Meetups w/Shinobi: Chicago, IL | Ep. 025" Another great episode. I enjoyed Shinobi and especially how he stuck around for the V4V section. I would encourage all future guests to do the same if they have the time. #YATA https://fountain.fm/episode/dk5LtelNmExXCEjGLitt https://localbitcoiners.com
