THE NOSTR REPORT BITCOIN OR BUST Mar 10, 2023 Block Height: 780,182 Moscow Time: 50:05 ⚡/ $ —-------------------------- 🎙️Quote of the Day🎙️ —-------------------------- Jameson Lopp “For the past decade, folks called me crazy for supporting Bitcoin because ‘inflation isn't a problem.’ For the past decade, folks called me crazy to suggest being your own bank because ‘banks are safe.’ It's bittersweet to be proven sane.” #[1] —-------------------------- 🚨Headline Nostr News🚨 —-------------------------- BitcoinMagazine California regulators close 🏦Silicon Valley Bank🏦 $SIVB in the "largest bank failure since the Great Recession," putting nearly $175 billion in customer deposits, including money from some of the biggest names in the technology world, under the control of the FDIC. Customers with deposits totaling more than $250,000,would be given certificates for their uninsured funds, meaning they would be among the first in line to be paid back — though potentially only partially. #[3] preston provides his commentary on the "too big to fail" banks. #[5] We can all understand the enormous amount of pressure that jb55 feels in getting Damus off the ground. Though we can agree this is not sustainable as the projects scale, what has made Damus (and nostr) special is the ability to mention a dev on a bug or feature request and have them respond. Let’s face it, no one here is going to get a response from Elon (sorry even you jack ). But the community showed its true colors by zapping Will with over 16m ⚡️sats. This is true value for value, and the ⚡️sats are the 📡signal. This reminds though that we are all human, we all need help, and we all need to take breaks. We Bitcoiners and nostr early adopters are pioneers, we are on the Oregon Trail of our generation. The trail is not certain, it’s not easy, but we will find our way west to a better life. Carry on JB55 and the rest of the devs, we got your back. #[8] QW 🚨REMINDER🚨!! Zapathon Part 4 kicks off at 5pm Eastern US Time. Load your wallets, let’s make this the biggest yet!! And after the zapping, don’t forget to join the party with AviBurra where he will have our own MainStreetChungus on the #Plebchain Radio Nostr Spaces broadcast. #[13] #[14] Tony compares nostr v4v zaplife.lol with podcasting stats Dave Jones stats.podcastindex.org/v4v 🫰 #[17] #[18] The: Daniel⚡️ gives us a stark reminder to be careful when choosing a bitcoin wallet.
