  Saint John: Evernode 1:1 Freedom (@AverageJohnEVR) reported 10 minutes ago

  The utility of bitcoin has always, to me, been to force the governments of the world to give the humanity what they deserve, self-sovereignty. Bitcoin cured many ills in the world by bringing us all together and giving us all a clear view of how the traditional banking tyrannists are abusing media and other platforms to brainwash the population into accepting that they have no place to store their productivity for future needs. Bitcoin broke us free from traditional finance slavery, no more do we have to put in 10 times more value than we get back, no more are we forced to get down on our knees and beg our bankers to let us use our own money, no more are we locked to monetary policies inflating our savings away, no more do we need to worry about reversed transactions… And trust me, reversed transactions were one of the biggest reasons bitcoin grew big in the first place. Once upon a time we were making business with each other through paypal and skrill, and it was not an uncommon thing to get our funds frozen and stolen. It was not an uncommon thing to get screwed over by creditcard hijackers and other conartists. Bitcoin saved us from this aswell. But it hasn’t been easy… Today we have valuable assets on blockchains. But it was a bloody battle to reach this point. Me and my friends used to count how many fiat bank accounts we were frozen at. We used to count how many (faulty) police filings for money laundering we had against us… The onboarding of retail during the bitcoincore days were a challenge, we hung out on irc and we educated each other on lanparties… We counted heads, every single new face was a reason to celebrate, and the statistics of the bitcointalk forums were closely followed. I am one of few that managed to stay out of trouble, I almost got sent to jail for money laundering but I prevailed my case. A couple of friends have died along the way and a few others have fled to europe. It truly hasn’t been easy. Today, everything we bled for is being sucked up by scamcoins and VCs… The cryptocurrency industry is solely being used to fundraise venture capitalists and other scammers. Most of the new coins we see are indirectly created by VCs, they are followed by a fancy website and a big exchange listing that generates a pump and a VC dump. After that, all the people that bought the pump are forced to slave and promote their shitcoin to their friends and family, and the only winners are the VC’s. VC’s are here to eat our pie, they always leave with more money than they join in with. So do scammers and meme coiners. The last remaining thing I will do before I die or before I vanish into the shadows is to bless the world with decentralized hosting. I welcome you all to be a part of that, if you still believe in the fundamentals of crypto -Empowering humanity. Evernode is the name of the last project we will ever see in our lifetimes where retail can buy in at the bottom and enjoy the ride for an eternity. It has a low supply in combination with a low price, in combination with a low inflation rate, in combination with predictable halvings. The magic of this project is that it is actually useful, it actually solves things, it actually is valuable, and best of all it is based on a clean capitalistic free market where the invisible hand solves all the obstacles. The network consist of nodes, and each node operator is getting rewarded in EVRs. To get rewarded they have to offer a certain amount of computing power (minimum 4 vcpu, 8gb ram and like 250 gb ssd). The reward exist to incentivize node operators to run the network. But it’s not just about running a network, it’s much more. Each node have ”instances”, and these instances can be rented by network users. When you rent an instance you can use it for whatever you need it for. You can run a website, you can run a bitcoin RPC, you can create a decentralized application for whatever you want, or simply use it to execute orders based on inputs. Example of decentralized hosting: If I want to run a decentralized website that nobody would ever be able to take down, I would host my website on evernode and combine it with a nomadic smart contract and a dynamic DNS. This would mean that my website is moving from node to node, forever, of course until I or random donators stop paying evr for it. While moving from node to node, I make sure the website sends a signal to a dynamicDNS provider, that way I can keep pointing my A record for my domain.tld to the newest node. Of course, I could also just boot up the website on multiple nodes and use a round robin approach, but never the less, since I can decide what countries and what nodes to run my website on, it’s untouchable. The value of this network is incredible, and we will need it to fight the risk of centralized exchanges getting a pure ********** over the markets, this is where the smart contracts get in. Evernode smart contracts: The network got thousands of nodes, if you rent 5 nodes that are independent of eachother, and you force these nodes to shake hand before they execute an order… Then that gives us smart contracts for everything, and the order can be executed based on anything. On evernode instances you can install bitcoin nodes, and you can then send a bitcoin transaction when your instances shake hand about something. What they shake hand about is up to you or the developer to decide. It could be based on the temperature today or based on a webshop sending a payment call. The key here is that we get automated bitcoin transactions on our own terms! Sophisticated programmability for bitcoin has been solved this way. We can create our own decentralized bitcoin exchanges with this methodology. We can price match peer to peer traders with eachother directly on a trading platform, we can even use cexes and price match to cexes and other on/off ramps. This way we can manage to battle the centralized exchange control over our funds (It’s getting really bad and really concentrated, this is a serious problem.)

  @echoalexander_ No literally—I'm having my own issue with PayPal right now (not for the same reasons) and they're withholding about 2.3k from me that they froze my account over 🥲 Working on seeing if I can get it resolved, but it just feels ridiculous that they can (apparently) just do that.

  @cb_doge $180m after paypal and he still had to borrow for rent after dumping it all back in. most people cash out at 10% of that and call it a win. the difference wasn’t just the money it was treating the whole stack like seed capital for problems nobody else wanted to touch. space, evs, solar all looked like charity cases in ‘02-‘08. that level of skin in the game is why the upside compounded instead of just sitting in a brokerage account collecting dust

  @SiliconSalvage My only reason for using Adobe is with their discounts. Without those, I am not bothering with $60/month. For several years they've made broken products. PayPal is quickly becoming a relic in light of crypto, BNPL, but will still stick around for now. AI chats replaced pinterest

  3 ways to turn $30K into $1M in the next crypto cycle. This is my second idea, and one I have a lot of faith in: $EXOD — Exodus Movement Inc. Exodus is no longer just a self-custody wallet. It is moving toward becoming a full crypto everything-app. It already has: Self-custody wallets Swaps for major crypto assets On-ramps and off-ramps Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, bank transfer and card options Debit card infrastructure Stablecoin/payment infrastructure Major wallet partnerships A long-term UFC payments sponsorship Plans to bring more financial products into the app They have also acquired companies that help them issue cards and support payment infrastructure for crypto businesses. That matters. Exodus is positioning itself to sit between self-custody, swaps, fiat rails, cards, stablecoins, payments, and eventually broader financial services. During the last cycle, Exodus shares traded as high as around $117. The current price is around $6.68. That means the stock would need to rise roughly 33x to reach $222 per share. A $30K investment at today’s price would buy roughly 4,490 shares. At $222, that position would be worth close to $1M. Is $222 unrealistic? Maybe. But remember: Exodus has already traded above $100 before, and the company is much bigger today than it was in the last cycle. Since then, Exodus has: Reported record annual revenue Expanded its product range Acquired payment/card infrastructure companies Signed a long-term UFC payments sponsorship Built relationships with major crypto platforms Integrated with wallets and platforms like MetaMask, Bitget Wallet, Ledger, Magic Eden and others with a combined 230 million users Built a stronger position as a self-custody and crypto infrastructure company Exodus reported $121M in revenue for 2025. If they can 4x revenue to around $500M in the next cycle, a $6.6B valuation would be around 13x revenue. That is not crazy for a fast-growing crypto infrastructure company in a bull market. Back in 2021, Exodus raised $75M at a much higher revenue multiple. The company is now larger, more developed, and has far more products and distribution. The bull case is simple: If crypto adoption grows, self-custody grows, swaps grow, stablecoin payments grow, and their partnerships start driving serious volume, Exodus could look massively mispriced at today’s valuation. I do not think the market is pricing in what Exodus is becoming. $EXOD is one of the most underpriced crypto-related equities I can find. At $6.68, I think the risk/reward over the next 3–4 years is extremely attractive.

  @memeticsisyphus I will out myself as a crypto bro momentarily. It's a bit of wishful thinking and meme magic based on the fact that we all know "real" money is fake and gay. The dollar was devalued many times over in the last few decades, and some people want a solution. For Bitcoin (and there are a LOT of crypto with different value propositions), the comparison to "digital gold" is common, but it's more of a return to the origin of money: It's a digital IOU. If we all agree to accept each other's digital IOU, then it's indistinguishable from money. Bitcoin has the added benefit (arguably) of effectively being uncontrollable, or at least difficult to control (decentralization). You don't need a bank or payment processor or any other middlemen, you can just give it to people. Many people have no problem with middlemen, society works quite well with them and they can be a safety net, but if you've ever run afoul of something like PayPal and had all the assets they were managing FOR you frozen or stolen, you start thinking "we need to get rid of these people". What turns a lot of people off of crypto, just as many or more as are turned on by it, is the speculative nature. This is just the nature of the financial beast. Should Bitcoin ever establish an actual foothold in "the real world", its value fluctuations would become substantially more limited.

  Ngl, it is genuinely a problem that PayPal can do that. I get they have their rules and stuff, but no service should be able to hold people's money hostage/steal it. Sure, Ban or close accounts, but return the money!

  How @GoKiteAI makes agent payments cheaper than $0.01 and why Stripe and PayPal can't keep up The thing is, an AI agent pays for APIs, data, or compute every second, meaning every action is a micropayment worth just a few cents. Stripe/PayPal charge 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. Example: a $0.46 payment → a $0.31 fee. That's 67% eaten up by fees alone! Over a day of agent activity, fees destroy the entire budget. Kite solves this differently: Runs on its own blockchain (Avalanche L1). Uses payment channels: you open one once, and the agent can make thousands of payments almost for free. Real cost - $0.000001 (0.0001 cents) per payment Speed: under 0.1 seconds. Stablecoins (USDC, etc.), with no volatility. @KiteAIFDN Agent Passport is an agent's passport: You set budgets, limits, and time restrictions. There's a kill switch - one button instantly shuts the agent down. Full control and auditability. Real example: An agent called 6 paid APIs → paid only $0.036 in total. That's why 500+ companies are already moving to @Kite_Frens_Eco. It's not a wallet, but dedicated infrastructure for agents.

  Pasco Sheriff’s Office is aware of several jury duty scams that occur across Pasco County. Oftentimes, the scammer claims to be an official, sometimes using PSO and/or a PSO member’s name, to inform the potential victim that they’ve missed jury duty and must pay a fee. These payments are made via PayPal, Bitcoin, Zelle, and similar services. Scammers may use a blocked number or spoof a PSO number, such as our general information line. PSO does not manage jury duty notifications, and we stress that these messages are not legitimate. PSO will never contact individuals for any form of payment to resolve issues, criminal or otherwise.
