Lightning Network demo
I have recently set up a Lightning Network node via Umbrel. One of the applications: compensating my kids for household chores. Here's a demo featuring the Breez wallet on the left creating an invoice and the Zap wallet on the right paying it. Zap is connected to LND via Tor.

Two business ideas:
- AirBnB for Bitcoiners. Many Bitcoiners are thinking about leaving their country. A trial stay could help to make an informed decision.
- Tinder for Bitcoiners. There is a huge overhang of 6.15ers looking for a gf.

Running
How liberating to have a very lean set of apps at start. Nothing from Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Amazon. The install guide on the Graphene web site seemed to be incomplete. I found a good video tutorial which worked: youtu.be/LxzXPaHvVkw

I looked around for non-Intel, non-AMD notebooks. This seems to be a very small market segment.
Option 1: PineBook Pro

Option 2: Raspberry Pi with some kind of notebook case.
Maybe I'll pair up a Pi 4 with a portable monitor for fun later this year.

Overview of mixing services: youtu.be/ttwhCrRuquo (Feb 25, 2021)

Talk by Jaswant Pakki at "Financial Cryptography and Data Security 2021" based on "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Bitcoin Mixers (But Were Afraid to Ask)"

H/T to @6102bitcoin

Interesting: Wasabi and Whirlpool are not discussed which are the two only ones I have tested so far.
6102bitcoin points out three errors in the clip but still it gives a decent overview.

Half a year ago it was possible to buy non-KYC Bitcoin on @Bisq with no or little premium. But the conviction of HODLers is growing, premiums quickly reach 20% in the offer book.

The Cultural Consequences of Fiat Money
Jörg Guido Hülsmann
Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on 26 July 2014

I don't recall how this clip ended up on my "watch later" list but it is very good. Hülsmann illustrates how fiat money creates a culture with a high time preference. It reminds me of Ammous' chapter "Money and time preference" in "The Bitcoin Standard".
