BTCapsule 🏴🧡 One of the arguments for inscriptions on the #Bitcoin timechain is that it can house important documents that may get censored by authoritarian governments (eg, the Whitepaper, Constitution, Bible, Quran, etc). 📚📜 Nostr Report's very own BTCapsule 🏴🧡 argues that "We don’t need ordinals or inscriptions to put 3d guns on the Bitcoin blockchain. We have #nostr for that."

dk One of the draws of Nostr is that without the ability to edit or delete notes, people seem more genuine and courteous with each other. If you were curious why notes can't be deleted, DK does a great job of explaining why. 🤝🫂

verbiricha https://filestr.vercel.app/ has previews for image, audio and video files so far. Verbiricha says it would be cool to implement PDF previews, use Threejs for rendering 3D files, etc. and he plans to make it easy in Habla to embed these files as nostr references. NIP-51 is really interesting since it allows you to create lists of file events which could be rendered as a gallery. These files and lists can be zapped, commented, bookmarked.. 📝⚡️📑

SEC provides more regulatory clarity today, asserting that most of "crypto" falls under existing securities rules, and won't get tailored regulations. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce said, "We see this new technology, and we're not willing to make any adjustments to accommodate it. If you don't look exactly like incumbent firms, then we're just going to be fine with killing you off or driving you offshore or forcing you to turn yourself into a centralized entity."

ECB President, Christine Lagarde, said she has "huge confidence" that the US will not default on its own debt, saying, "I just cannot believe that they would let such a major, major disaster happen." This statement comes as the US government is facing a default as early as this summer if Congress does not raise the debt ceiling. 💵🖨
