@El_Cuda @vikrantnyc @RadarChat looks amazing guys, checking this out

@vikrantnyc @RadarChat Any chance of creating a new Signal account without a phone number?

Today we are launching @RadarChat, a messaging app that combines Signal's encryption with built-in Bitcoin Lightning payments, and because it's a Signal fork, you can keep messaging your existing Signal contacts from day one. No convincing friends to switch apps. The idea: you can already message someone privately, so why bounce out to Venmo or Cash App and hand your financial info to a third party every time you want to send money? Radar keeps both in one place. Send a message, send sats, all in the same conversation. What it does: ✅Works with your Signal contacts - it's a Signal fork, so the messaging side inherits Signal's encryption model and interoperates with the Signal network. ✅Private by default - Signal’s end-to-end encrypted messaging. ✅Bitcoin Lightning under the hood - fast, cheap settlement, non-custodial. Send within chats or externally.  You can just use it as your Bitcoin wallet! ✅Your seed phrase is encrypted and saved on Signal servers.  Lose your phone or app? Just restore Radar with our phone number as you normally do, and get your wallet back! (Although we still recommend that you write down your seed phrase) The privacy of Signal. The convenience of instant private Bitcoin Lightning payments. Backed by @egodeathcapital and built by the team that brought you @cakewallet It's live now. I'd love feedback from this community, so give it a try and tell me what works and what doesn't. You can download it now on the Apple App Store now and Google Play soon. Learn more at radar.chat!

Bitcoiners waking up after 22 months at $60k

Da reibt man sich als Abgeordneter ungläubig die Augen: Eigentlich war die Chat-Kontrolle vom Tisch. Doch kurz vor der Sommerpause – während alle die Badeutensilien packen und auf die Fußball-WM schielen – schiebt die Parlamentspräsidentin das Thema klammheimlich wieder auf die Agenda. Natürlich unter anderem Namen. Heute wird also abgestimmt, ob das Ganze am Donnerstag zur Abstimmung kommt. Realsatire pur. Und tatsächlich: Das Dringlichkeitsverfahren wird angenommen – am Donnerstag wird nun in der Sache selbst entschieden, das Manöver ist aufgegangen. Unglaublich!

@JardineCash @jstamby @pete_rizzo_ It's a trade-off; there will always be some form of trust in scaling solutions, that's the nature of blockchains. If you believe otherwise you are fooling yourself. Self-custody is for savings, most people don't care about this for their daily spending. They choose convenience.

@jstamby @pete_rizzo_ 😂😂😂 who me? I do, but I prefer self custody of crypto and not requiring 3rd party applications or services. If maxis are cool still using 3rd party custodians then that's cool.

@JardineCash @pete_rizzo_ Aaah the Avalanche crowd still thinks daily payments should be done on L1 blockchains.

@pete_rizzo_ its awesome, they just need to wait hours for the transactions to finalise 😅

This is actually insane, I was not aware of this level of adoption in South Africa. Bitcoin finds the ones who need it most indeed

If you think home prices crashing is bad, you have fiat brain. Homes are consumer goods and the cheaper they are the better. You only think of them as an investment asset because your money is broken & you have never known savings.

@sunny051488 @JoeCarlasare Fiat trader mindset. So I assume you have zero bitcoin except for that one leveraged long trade you have open? I'd rather have as much bitcoin as possible and only convert portions to fiat when neccesary.

@JoeCarlasare as long as we live in a fiat standard, the goal is to get more fiat.

It’s hilarious how many so called bitcoiners spend all day preaching Bitcoin as the “exit from fiat,” then turn around and advocate trading it like just another risk asset every 4 years. That’s not conviction. It’s cynicism. If the 4 year cycle persists, there’s no reason to hold bitcoin. It’s simply a tradable asset and economically insignificant. But if Bitcoin truly is superior money, it should move independently of “cycles.” If it does, it can change the world. The goal isn’t to trade it. The goal is to stop thinking in broken money.

@AndySmith212 @saylor @Strategy 2017 called and wants its low-iq comment back

@saylor @Strategy BTC waste real energy. 200 terawatts per year. Thats more than a country the size of Bangkok. It’s making Saylor rich and you’re paying for it with your high electric bills.

Bitcoin is Digital Energy.

This is because the anti-capitalist left is not actually against people being crazy rich. They're against certain types of people being crazy rich. Artists and athletes make sense to them because they've played music and sports and because their success can be explained by "luck" and "talent". Messi's wealth is not offensive to them because they understand Messi is much better at football than they are. But when it comes to business, the anti-capitalist leftist has no framework for understanding why Jeff Bezos might be super rich since 99% of them have never ever created a product, business or service that was of value to other people. They've never taken entrepreneurial risk. They've never employed people and felt the burden of responsibility that comes with that. They've never pick up a business and given it a play in the way they've picked up a ball or a guitar. They *literally* don't understand wealth creation. They think there is a fixed amount of money and the only thing a business does is split it unfairly. It's why they rage at Elon and other successful business leaders. Because they genuinely don't understand why they're wealthy. Also, and this is just as important, athletes and artists are disproportionately young, attractive, "diverse", left wing etc. Business leaders are "evil" middle aged white men whose success offends the average anti-capitalist leftist because they don't understand a) what it is they do and b) that Elon Musk has the same talent advantage on them as Messi does, it's just harder to measure.

@isabellasg3 Amazing! You’re a real one

the bitcoin culture is dead and nobody wants to admit it

🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪

Bitcoin is a REVOLUTION. It is much more than number go up. It is an invention which can free humankind from the long sad history of monetary debasement, which empowers few and taxes everyone else. In a fiat system the wrong people win. We all pay for it. It is unjust and unfair. Throughout all of human history we never had a monetary standard that did not dilute over time. Now we do. Those of us who are partisans and are fighting for it understand the stakes. Freedom, fairness, prosperity, less war, etc. Unsound money is the issue of our age. Currently few see it, but this will change. This Fourth Turning is well on its way and the monetary issue will be resolved. As I observe the current Bitcoin landscape and the attacks on its leaders i am reminded of the opening of Thomas Paine's second writing, The American Crisis. Written in December 1776 after Washington had gotten his ass kicked on Long Island and retreated from Brooklyn and through New Jersey, Paine wrote: "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in the crisis, shrink from the service of their country: but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have the consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem to lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value." Sound money has to win. Sound money will win. History will be kind to sound money partisans. This is about a lot more than number go up. Don't forget why we are in this fight. Spread the word. The system they run is evil. We know the antidote. Time is on our side.

Mankind will lose its ability to let the mind wander. With discipline, we can still break free of these forces if we choose to.

@JoeNakamoto It’s such a simple concept but people don’t see the innovation in it

Still blows my mind you can send a decent chunk of money anywhere in the world for less than a quid

@Breedlove22 This series changed my life. Thought me to think from first principles. Sincerely thank you Robert.

A lot of you keep asking how I first got Michael Saylor on the podcast, so here's the full story:

@isabellasg3 still here
