I agree. I still use it, just not for the basic phone stuff. That part let me down in an emergency, and I can’t let it happen again.
I use Graphene as a dedicated Nostr device.

The only way to avoid value judgment on the matter is to describe the two as "bitcoin" and "not bitcoin."

2024-12-17 00:58:18 UTC

A lot of people are waiting around for the next sovereign nation-state to announce they bought bitcoin.
IMO there's a good chance they're buying and NOT telling anyone. Why would you if you don't have to disclose it, especially if you're still buying?
Not all governments operate with the so-called transparency of Western governments. They make people disappear and throw critics in jail all the time. You really think they're going to brag about their bags?
