Bitcoins have no dividend or potential future dividend, therefore not like a stock.

More like a collectible or commodity.

It’s easier to send sound money than email

Using a service like GetAlby.com enables you to put a lightning wallet inside your web browser.

This service also gives you a new way to send and receive bitcoin. Much like an email address, the lightning address functions similarly. For example my lightning address is now bitcoinessex@getalby.com you can type that address into most modern lightning wallets to send sats. Try it now!

The sign up process is a piece of piss.

  1. go to getalby.com
  2. sign up using an email address
  3. verify your email address
  4. choose your bitcoin lightning address
  5. connect it to your nostr or blue wallet by importing your private key by scanning a QR
  6. Job Done!
very easy UI
also behaves as a node which you can connect to your mobile lightning wallet like Blue Wallet so you can send sats on the go
You can also connect this address to your nostr account. Wham you can zap sats back n forth to your hearts content.

Oh and on nostr you get rewarded for your content, rather than rewarded for playing a victim like on twitter, fb, insta etc. Make your pick, understand that free social media is not free. Even clown zuck & musk are now charging a subscription for their shitty services. Pay them so they can amplify your content. No thanks.

This kind of fiat thinking is why we are all searching for a solution. Could Nostr combined with lightning be that solution?
