I just joined Riot, a bitcoin miner, after three years at Kraken, an exchange. 

You can ask me about any topic!

Louis-Ferdinand Céline: ''Journey to the End of the Night'' i

A semi-autobiographical novel, published in 1932. It follows the life and travels of cynical antihero Ferdinand Bardamu, set over several decades of his life, beginning with his experiences in World War I, colonial Africa, the United States, and the poor suburbs of Paris. 

You'll never read a better book on a flight, on a toilet, during working hours, on Your honey-moon... whatever. It's crazy stuff

Its LN enabled, basically a wallet of satoshi with a USSD menu instead of an app, so is interoperable with all LN wallets, just reduces the barrier to entry and gives feature phone users a custodial LN wallet

Awesome. Wishing you the best on your journey. 

10 years ago I quit drinking and haven't looked back. Every facet of my life got better when I didn't spend my nights getting toasted. 

It's hard to predict what will be in a decade because technology evolves so quickly. However, in an ideal world, decentralized platforms, like Nostr, would take over YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, etc, and then host their multimedia content on BitStream servers.

There's a lot of variability of debt tolerance. I have a friend that makes good money and has low expenses but carries a credit card balance because he views it as part of his next worth (by some logic). I've had friends who make little money who carry a credit card balance for high time preference purchases mostly. I know smart bitcoiners who willfully destroyed their credit history to buy bitcoin and dgaf about their credit history. 

Debt is a tool and some of us are more comfortable with it than others. Curious how stackers relate/think about debt. 

What's your experience with debt?

1. **Improvement of Privacy**: Taproot makes all transactions look the same to external observers. Whether it's a complex contract or a simple payment, they all appear as standard transactions. This enhances privacy by making it more challenging to differentiate between transaction types.

2. **Enhanced Flexibility with Smart Contracts**: Taproot introduces the ability to write more complex "scripts" or smart contracts in Bitcoin. This adds functionality without making the blockchain more cumbersome. It's done through a technology called Schnorr signatures, which allow for various conditions to be met for a transaction to be valid.

3. **Efficiency and Cost Reduction**: By combining the public keys, Taproot ensures that complex transactions require less space on the blockchain. This means that transactions can be processed more quickly, reducing fees and making the network more efficient.
