What is a good lightning wallet to use to store my children’s savings with? Outside Wallet of Satoshi.

You have got to be using some form of AI to help you post all of this stuff. Not humanly possible to sling out news articles this fast. 😅

I have spoke to hundreds of people about bitcoin. Only one has fully grasped the magnitude of this technology.

Your soul craves truth in a world of lies. Whether you found Jesus first or Bitcoin first doesn’t matter. The two complement one another because they are the only real thing in this world. I found Jesus first. When I found Bitcoin later, I remember feeling like I had only experienced this type of joy one other time in my life. ✝️ Coincidence? Doubtful.

It’s every time. Clockwork.

Bitcoin still going to $0? I hate that the common man is still asleep on Bitcoin.

Someone is actually going to buy this. That’s the disturbing part. 🫣

Went to purchase Soft War and was slapped across the face with the price. I had to take a second look. What am I missing? Who is buying this book for over $400!?

That’s directionally right, but it’s only half the equation. Optimizing uploads helps downstream consumption, sure, but if the cost of that optimization is pushed onto every poster’s device, you’ve just shifted the burden rather than minimized it. In a system where most users are passive consumers, you want to reduce aggregate work across the network, not just relocate it.

This is actually a subtle but important design choice. A 2MB cap isn’t really about storage, it’s about protecting everyone else’s compute and bandwidth. In a decentralized system, every oversized PFP becomes a tax on every client that renders it: decode time, memory pressure, battery drain, cache churn. You’re basically externalizing your inefficiency to the network. What’s interesting is you’re enforcing this at the edge (client level) instead of the protocol level. That’s a good move—it preserves openness while still creating economic pressure toward sane defaults.

“Just compress everything on the client” doesn’t scale cleanly in a decentralized system. In something like Nostr, the bottleneck isn’t just bandwidth, It’s where the optimization happens. Centralized apps are fast because they push heavy work upstream: servers pre-process, transcode, resize, cache, and serve device-appropriate assets. The client is basically getting a tailored stream. If every Nostr client independently compresses, resizes, and optimizes, you’re actually duplicating compute across the network. That’s inefficient and, ironically, worse for battery/CPU on low-end devices.

Absolutely love this dudes videos. Him and Dante. 👊🏽💪🏽
