😦😳😖 it's embarrassing. We all obviously don't like price gouging. And commodity, asset  and consumer markets aren't all alike. And frankly, sometimes a bit of temporary government help is OK to right the ship or breakup an exploitive monopoly - wide open capitalism is exploitive...

But thus take is really hard to fathom. 😳

Grocers could change $400 for an apple. Or give it away for free. They owe no one any answers. They're not at fault for rampant and consistent inflation.

This is such a bad passing of the buck.

Agree. There are a lot of us with good ideas, talents and work ethic that are grinding hard to get web5/FOSS/bitcoin/nostr adoption and development as far as we can with day jobs.

Being able to work on this stuff full time is the goal. If there are whales out there... or bountys, now is the time. This is the most important thing any of us might work on in our lifetime. 💯

Except Bitcoin is the token..😏


I run #Tor, and we all should, not because we have things to "hide"... but because giving all our data to huge companies and governments is a massive honeypot that they, or another entity could access to use against us or our own interests.

#WhoWatchesTheWatchmen #Freedom #Privacy #Libertad


Lyn Alden NFTs?

Jk. The answer to your question is almost infinite. This is why the Core code must ossify somewhat. The unknown unknowns could be disaterous.


I know there are some #Bitcoiners, Stackers, #Plebs and Newbs who need to hear this...

Being a Bitcoiner, #FOSS supporter, Freedom advocate or builder in this space is hard from the get go. There are few, if any, worn paths to success. The whole thing is contrarian to most group-think.

But this. This idea of Bitcoin.

This is likely THE most important thing any of us could work on in our lifetime.

Bitcoin's adoption, and future of thriving is NOT a given. Don't forget this. The value for value and circular economies DON'T just magically exist.

We all have to work to make this a reality and change the world.

If you're already working hard at a project - I see you! I know there might be little recognition, or support. But #KEEPGOING

If you have wanted to start a project - #LETSGO. There's nothing easy about it. But feel the solace that this might be the most important thing you could do with you time, expertise and resources.

If you are new - Hi! Welcome! The easiest way to start is to start using the Lightning Network (Youtube is a good resource) and find some local businesses that accept it - NOW GO PURCHASE SOMETHING!!! www.btcmap.org

Not your keys not your cheese.

There have been tonnes of cases where centralized exchanges go under right after people sent them money.

Or freeze withdrawals. Or... just disappear overnight.

FTX, Quadriga, Mt. Good etc...

Same. I saw his reserves today too (if accurate).

Wild stuff.

Yeah the casino crypto stuff isn't good at all.


I'd say the character and actions of a guy in his position matter.

Imagine you suddenly couldn't move any of your coins. And now your account is frozen.

This happens more than you might like to think!


Oh wooooow


CZ has never seemed like a grifter or scammer to me. Just a bit of a geek who was able to build a popular crypto exchange.

I've never used Binance or intend to, but either he's an unassuming guy who flies under the radar ... or he wants it to seem like such.

I've never read anything bad about his character etc. Seems like no one has a scandalous things to say about him.

I'm not saying any of my take is true... but it's an observation from my view.

Maybe the same could and was said about SBF before FTX imploded?

Maybe I'm being to cautiously optimistic?

I low key want Binance to succeed though. I can't fully articulate why. I'm not into "crypto" and centralized exchanges are 'not the way'. But I don't want Binance to implode.

Maybe it's because I know a lot of decent and well intentioned ppl will get rekt if it does. Maybe it's because I want a kid who worked at McDonalds and the local summer fair as a teen to succeed (CZ).

Maybe I'm wrong and Binance is a hindrance to Bitcoin.

Things don't have to be black or white. I'm OK with that.

But FTX saw a lot of ppl get hurt and back off of anything crypto related. Even Bitcoin. These were good people who trusted their friends or family. I don't want this to happen again.

Maybe there's a path where Binance loses sway and influence because WE all do such a good job of orange and people pilling people to decentralized exchanges and self custody. And FOSS. And privacy platforms. And web5. And Binance gets pushed to obscurity/niche tokens.

I know everybody is dunking on the random governor who decided that she could just wave her hand and unilaterally suspend any right she dislikes simply by hissing the word "emergency," but the problem is that she's only wrong if another political force — the courts, politics, disobedience, or Locke's old Appeal to Heaven — proves her wrong. Enforcing the limits of official power isn't some American $currentYear problem, it's a recurring issue throughout history.

The question is why we're suddenly seeing the authoritarian instinct activating so much more openly — and frequently. In prior decades, they had to be cute in how they went about it, often requiring laws and lies. Now they're remarkably comfortable simply stating "because of the 'emergency,' you can no longer {travel | donate | engage in commerce | read | communicate | carry}," and that's the whole of it.

The next question is what you're going to do about it.


Maybe. Many ppl get burned and write off crypto all together. Would rather just save in Fiat or mutual funds. Something they see as safer.

Fascinating, the games central bankers play. In Canada a couple years ago, the central bank did a sneaky and little known manuever.

Instead of printing more $$ and releasing it to banks, or selling bonds etc...

They introduced a NEW form of payment currency (IOU) that they would exclusively hold with banks to hold as a % of their reserves INSTEAD of holding 100% public currency.

The gaslit everyone by even declaring that it "wasn't money printing, it's a new remittance for banks."

Suddenly the banks had more available $$ to off load right before the interest rates climbed.


😦 truth.


Truth 💯


Not easy. At my work, despite all my knowledge... I still have colleagues who don't ask for any advice or sounding board...  and the tell me how they're "All in on Ethereum (because they read some random article) but don't hold it in cold storage because the crypto exchanges are insured" 😳 or "I'm going to try and day trade Matic/Polygon" or "My buddy says XRP is better than Bitcoin".

I mean... I don't mind if people want to own whatever security or pump n dump they want... but it's soul crushing to have then pass up the hardest, soundest money ever created for something else so different and so inferior.


The fact that Bitcoin isn't yet accepted everywheree and for everything really underlines for me how few people have actually used Lightning. Whenever I show somebody how it works, there's always that "wow" moment. But why was it a surprise?

The problem is that normal people still understand BTC from the one half-remembered opinion piece they read in 2017, and are operating under the belief that transactions still take an hour to settle, rather than being instantaneous and irreversible — money transmission without the Paypal Problem. The public mind needs a cache refresh.


I honestly don't remember if it was LN or onchain... or even how it worked under the hood. But a pin key was being sent and confirmed. It was cool.

Daily Motivation 🤙 For those who need it on a Friday! Stack Sats of happiness!

Sending this one out anyone feeling like they're "stuck" in life at the moment and it feels daunting to see how things could be better...

Maybe you don't like your job. Maybe your relationship isn't going well. Maybe you're learning how to be a single parent. Maybe your parents are nearing end of life. Maybe it. all. fell. apart.

Life is FULL of challenges, heart breaks and tragedy.
But I promise... things can drastically change.
It'll take time and it might seem daunting. But here's what you do...

Take something you like. Maybe an album to listen to, maybe an activity. Maybe a long lost hobby. (But you have to love it. You love this thing or doing this thing.) Doesn't matter if you haven't even done it for a while.

Carve some time out purposely and lean into it as much as possible. Lean into it hard. Let yourself enjoy it like you have in the past.

Think of it as "Stacking Sats" but for happiness.
(This morning I thought of my 18 year old self and how I used to like roaming the neighborhood at dusk and listening to Blink 182. So I cranked their album on the way to work and sang as much as I could remember. Happiness Sats Stacked!)

Wishing you all a good weekend! 🤙

Oh this is great to know!! 👀


😄. I dunno if I can even do that on my client


Some random guy DMed me and set up my nip05 in January. I have a basic understanding of it... but don't feel it's at all necessary. Plus it linked me to his domain/site/stuff. Which wasn't bad, but I just didn't see any point of it.

And I haven't cared to set up a different one thereafter.

Woah


As an economics secondary teacher, this is well done. Kudos. Keep it up. Always like small, easily digestible bits of learning.


Yes.


Noise versus Signal. 😉⚡


Yes! New paradigms are collapsing old ones...

Make Zaps the new way to "like". It's consistent with the next wave of what Bitcoin and Lightning are doing.

This is only good, esp for BTC adoption!

⚡🔥🤙


This is the way!


Oh that's good! Hahahah I'm using it from now on


I shall ⚡🦾🚨


👍 yes

Wow, What a night. Never seen anything like this 😂


Nothing. But it works that way too


Same. You know what I'm saying tho. It's tech and finance "video games" except real life.

Real E Sports in a sense.

Wait. So you're saying Safemoon WASN'T safe OR going to the moon?

Hahaha. Jk.


Come talk about the Zappening on Nostr Nests

https://nostrnests.com/general


I'm on board. But I want to keep it for sourcing the fastest real-time news... always seems to be the quickest place to find ground-level news when it breaks. MSM and even Reddit are always a half day behind.

Thoughts?


Run

Your

Own... relay


I get the joke hahaha. Are you a carpenter or is trades?


Lol so true


Ohhh. I had a mental diatribe about how Gothic aesthetic shouldn't be moody and melancholy by default. Black and sharp angles should be able to be fun too.

In theory

Hahahah.


What's a fae?


Hey buddy. It's your turn... check or bet?

😆


Lol. I miss my old vintage maps I threw out.


Already there.

When will everyone come to Nostr? When there's a good reason.

Community is a good reason.
Knowledge is a good reason.
Making money is a great reason.

If kids can make money here, you'll see a flood like you wouldn't believe.


Breath taking. Beautiful.

#Plebchain followed!


Hahaha


The Nostr CEO and Board are doing great things.


Think I'm ready to take my relationship to the next level...

By explaining Nostr to her.

😄🤙⚡


Really? Hm. I think the whole web3 idea needs to be realized before that. IE: everyone running their own nodes and servers... with wayfinding services to connect us.

Nostr IMO is the first step in that direction.


Really think so?


Hahahaha awesome


Dude that's awesome. Maximum comfort!

Oh totally. I have huge boat fomo. Cabin cruiser is 100% on my bucket list.


This a scotch?


Stout is awesome too. No worries man. Different tastes find us all differently. RIP to your grandfather. I'm turning 40 this week and have 3 grandparents still alive! All in their 90s. Crazy!


Scotch my man. Always a peaty and smoky but smooth scotch.


What kinda boat you rocking?

A few years ago my buddy and I restored a 1966 Bayliner (classic American style) 17 ft speedboat.

Baby blue and white paint.

So rad.


@gpt3 what is talking about?


This is the question at hand. How will this impact adoption.

Looks like L1 will be too bogged down for the little guy to want to use regularly.


Why tho? I'm not closed... I'm open minded. But what's the harm with people being able to add data or inscriptions. Or maybe just tell me the worst case scenario...


I think inscriptions/small scripts are COOL. And so did Satoshi, who essentially did the first one by adding the "Bailout Chancellor" news headline. Timestamping the project.

Adding a small unique signature or thing to a Sat is like digital grafitti. Or seeing chain of ownership.

How cool would it be if some well known person left their digitized signature on a sat, thereby making it unique.

Customization is cool in some senses. It's not cut and dry... but people obviously want to do it. My thought is embrace it.


Giddy up! Get after it man. 😦⚡🤙💯


Not 100% true. But yes. Highly true. Hah.


Hah. Crushing it man! Dad life is a good one but demanding. Enjoy some R and R.

"Fiat mine" makes me smirk everytime. 😏


Here!


Yes ⚡


Hahaha. Leave it in the paaaaast


Everyone hosts their own nodes and relays for all apps. Web3


Agree. But also disagree.

Nostr in principle is intended be an OPEN protocol. If you want groupnthink join a reddit, Discord etc to gate keep.

I know what you mean though. The honeymoon phase was great while it lasted.


Nope. Can confirm this is misguided. 99% of average people can barely work a TV remote. Let alone understand the monetary system. Or fiat banking. Or bitcoin. Or decentralized protocols and clients on Github.

Computing science and coding is still niche stuff esp for the older demographics. It's not lazy... it's generational divides and niche hobbies.


This is the energy we need. Open minds and use cases.


Honeymoon phase is over. Glad to have been a part of it


Mostly agree. We'll said. For non developers NIP05 and all of it makes zero sense. Someone DMed me and did it for me. It identifys what exactly?? Nada.


I dove down this rabbit hole a few times. Convoluted to uncover what actually happened and what is just remnants of the smear campaigns. TBH I'm always just a bit disappointed merchant adoption and retail use didn't catch on or develop faster.


Well put


Yes. One block requiring the math of the previous is ingenious isn't it?


Real time checkpoint server. I'll need chatGPT to explain this one for me haha. #[3]


In MANY things simplicity is usually better.


🫂

Haha. Been waiting to use this one


Once Amazon supports BTC lightning... it's over. BTC mass adoption.
