What was written on Trump’s note? https://v.nostr.build/XoUUYr6SsFuuPYWv.mp4


1. The only people who reject hierarchies are communists.

2. Yes I am an elitist, I don’t believe all humans are inherently the same as would be evidenced by how me playing a game of basketball 1v1 against Michael Jordan would go.

3. I’m Australian.


That conflict is a direct offshoot of central banking parasitism with the Balfour Declaration given to the Rothschilds.

We shouldn’t be trying to fix their fiat problems, I proposed we relocate Israel and all the Jews to Tasmania and leave them there so they don’t have any neighbours to have conflict with: nostr:note18xz0wrjujd2h0j8ggnly2ltu8uwpvv3km9auasmeflcdk7yu4e7sm5njq4

How did they not think of wheels on luggage in the first place?


“If you think Trump will be the next president you are living in a fantasy. …

Currency collapse is the only thing that can save this country because it will defund the government.”

Trump might well be given the next 4 years so they can rugpull the economy, point the finger at him and the Republicans, and then cement one-party rule for a generation before anyone can muster up anything to go against them.

Economically I’m far more worried about a Trump win for this reason.

Harris will be 4 years of printing and bandaids and can kicking. Trump will be 4 years of printing with a real risk they press the reset button on his watch.

Those that understand this system is precarious at best and how we got here should be able to see how this is exactly the kind of shit these parasites would pull to capitalise on the chaos.


Protocols don’t replace people.

When it comes to money and an economic system, we want that out of the hands of people.

When it comes to how society is organised and the socio-political system, that **will** remain in the hands of people until/if AGI happens.

Economics can exist in a machine only world as a means of allocating resources, but there is no society without people.

The institutions which govern what is acceptable in society are still going to need to be replaced/changed.

People are not going to for example stop needing massive water treatment systems just because the government can’t insert themselves into the money flow. Humans still need that, and even if we want the free market to deliver solutions the reality is the current systems need to be picked up or else they’ll be co-opted and used against us or outright fail which will also be used against us.

How long does it take for a parallel system to establish water governance at a population level? I have no idea, but I know it needs people to put their heads together to figure out options and what the tradeoffs are and how we might propose to handle such a thing and whilst I see shitloads of talk about crab markets and how incumbent parasitic systems are treating our economy, I see next to none about how we subsume water mgmt and all the other shit that is going to need to be transitioned roughly or smoothly into a new system.

Protocols will form the backbone but they only matter if there are people to “organise”. What form and depth that organisation takes is up for grabs in a new system but rather than simply dream about it, I’m trying to be the change I want to see and start talking about it with people who understand the very real possibility of being thrust into a role as new economic elites when we’ve got excellent brains and plenty of money but none of the organisation capacity needed to succeed.


>”But I still argue that the best solution lies in a decentralized model, one where the individual, not a new elite, is empowered.”

I’m not arguing against that at all.

Ancaps don’t dispute natural hierarchies, Auth-anything’s certainly don’t either - only AnComs are stupid enough to believe in leaderless utopias. Because we see these form regardless of superstructure; it’s human nature to have leaders.

I too would like that superstructure to be decentralised. I too would like the new elite to be more figureheads than actually be empowered.

None of that is counter to my argument, it’s just a shallow understanding on your part of how humans organise societies.

How powerful the new elite class turns out to be is within our power to control, because Bitcoiners will own the means of production at the outset of the system. We can be the ones to set the rules in motion.

Turning a blind eye and pretending we’re going to turn into an entirely meritorious homogeneous blob of humans is to ignore all of history and every system which has ever been. It’s just not how things work in reality so rather than leave everything to random chance I’d say it’s better to be the ones with the guiding hand over the levers of control than leave it to chance.


Shadow self-governance is a good way to frame it, albeit that’s probably a better description for where it’s headed than how we get there.

We need to Elmer Fudd this shit and think like the rabbits.

Telling the midwits they’re going to have to govern themselves will scare the shit out of them and would be easily capitalised upon by incumbent parasites to sow FUD. That might be the reality but it’s not how the war will be won.

But both need the mindshare - how does it work in practice and how does the transition happen because they’re distinct things as any revolution from history can teach us.


Enjoy your commune you smelly hippie


>“Just by refusing to participate in their system and redirecting our energy into Bitcoin, we’re creating a parallel economy, a system that naturally rewards those who opt in.”

No, that is not enough.

Starving the beast is not going to move us into the system that #Bitcoin could and *should* underpin.

That’s going to create a power vacuum and nature abhors those - it **will** be filled.

There is no such thing as a directionless economy. Economies exist through entrepreneurs taking signals and trying to capitalise on meeting market needs.

We’re just used to living in economies where one giant central actor plans half of everything for all of us.

Take them out and half the economy needs to be backfilled. That’s going to mean winners and losers. That’s going to see people become wealthy and others become destitute - such is the nature of free markets.

If you want any sort of stability in such a system then you want to be the ones filling the power vacuum, not letting the very same parasites who have been dethroned back in to power. That means directing what power there is and what it can do, no different to what the Church used to do in Europe.

In the long run there is no world (other than either 2199 Matrix shit) where our parallel economy peacefully coexists with the fiat status quo.


Come be a superhero with me.


The parasitic establishment elite aren’t a homogeneous group, nor are the current counter elites - yet both have their visions for the world.

Without an articulated vision, there is nothing to rally people behind. Without a head the body doesn’t know what it’s doing.

That’s how you get a power vacuum and Bitcoin is many things, but power-vacuum-resistant it is not.


You’ll find plenty of that in death.

I’m more interested in what happens between now and then, if the first decades of my life are anything to go by then I’m not expecting much peace in the meantime.


Everyone has bugbears about #Bitcoin and #Bitcoiners.

Mine is the lack of elite theory that Bitcoiners have studied and/or discuss. Seems to be too far out there for Ancap-types who acknowledge natural hierarchies but then shy away from the reality of it.

Many seem to think we’ll have hyperbitcoinisation entirely without impetus - ie fiat money printing will do all the heavy lifting and we’ll just end up in this idyllic world where government is restrained because everyone has seen the light and adopted Bitcoin and they can’t print more. I assign a roughly 0.00001% chance to that outcome.

The heaviest weighted category in my view (with diverging paths at a certain point) is Bitcoin has a massive run and creates a new financial elite which could become a new social counter elite. This happens *well before* government is occupied by non-parasites who will be on a warpath for a wealthy but highly disorganised class of people who have the means to destroy them but lack the coordination.

That will be the time to plant Bitcoin’s flag for a new system. Not when status quo institutions have spilled our blood and were forced into joining and then co-opting our economic system - that’s FAR too late.

That flag won’t be planted unless we give serious thought and mindshare to how such a system could work and what tradeoffs we’d all be willing to accept for the least bad system because rest assured, normies will stick with the parasites if the parasites are the only ones articulating a vision, even if their vision sucks.

I’m here to embrace the new counter elite, and to work with likeminded Bitcoiners on ways to uproot the establishment and replace them *permanently* with fewer shitcunts.

NGU for me only matters insofar as it allows tables to be flipped.

I don’t want a lambo, I want a dynasty.

I don’t want fiat justice to prevail, I want the natural justice of parasite head’s on pikes for what they’ve done to the people.

I want new fables written about the evils of usury and new myths to take root in civilisation about what is good and righteous that cross religions and cultures.

I want #Bitcoin and #Bitcoiners to succeed to their fullest, by replacing the parasitic system rather than just usurping it.

That’s what I’m here for - how about you? nostr:note14hd2z48knluwy5t77ff6zkkf6fw4zrk3h06g4v2ttgakk67hqrusuv56eg

The graphic says “American” Class Hierarchy but this applies to Aus, NZ, and Canada. Europe is getting this way but has more entrenched old money.

Bitcoin will create a new financial Counter Elite. That will set Bitcoiners at odds with the Establishment Elite which controls institutions and politics and who will use both against this insurgency to protect their powerbase.

If Bitcoiners ever want to become the Establishment Elite (and no I don’t mean becoming the parasites, I mean being the elite class of society to whom lower levels look to and aspire to join) they will need to do something with their newfound wealth.

Utilities is the path. Control the utilities (energy in particular but water and internet too) and you’ll pull the people to the counter elite orbit who will abandon the current parasite class for a better life with the new Counter Elite at the top of the pyramid. https://i.nostr.build/OSfEe9v8Ywe2XR86.jpg


Nah I posted about Scotland, they’re even more hardcore about illegal 🐔


That’s the world he’s used to.

Bitcoin has proved that consensus can happen without coercion.


Behemoth states only make sense to parasites who want a large host to feed upon.

They make no sense in a world where, like Kerry says, it’s easy for everyone to find their own niche now and segregate themselves from people they don’t want to associate with - that’s a feature, not a bug, but when you have the globalist worldview you can see why it scares them.


John Kerry saying the quiet part out loud.

“Our first amendment stands as a major block to the ability to just hammer [disinformation] out of existence”

This is actually a really interesting clip because Kerry is entirely correct in his overall analysis - democracies cannot function in this age.

When they cannot wrangle people to their narratives any more they lose their legitimacy which (rightly) terrifies them. That’s what is really behind these attempts at controlling social media across the world. https://v.nostr.build/8CowVItDMeMTAj23.mp4


March out on that plank with a noose and let’s see what old mate has to say then.


I love it.


So what? What are you going to do about it?


Forget about this nonsense war.

Sort out your family.


I’ll go when I’m 1 of 10,000.

That smashes cops in any jurisdiction, well before army can come in to save necks.

Years away from that here but thanks for your spooky concern cunt


I know what you mean.

But you’ve got a baby - figure it out for them. Think 10-20 years ahead


Your country will be set fire to either way.

The only question for you is who survives that fire?


They’re not.

They’re outnumbered 10,000 to 1.

They just control the rails for comms and tradfi money.

They’re not well protected enough to keep their heads off the block. They just hope you all believe that.


Sounds like you identified more who need to visit the guillotine.

Stop being soft - shitcunts have to go.


1000 is a start.

I’d take that as a compromise from Covid apologists who think we needed lockdowns but maybe they went too far.

Then I’d take the next 20,000 and not ask any questions.

I might ask questions at 100,000 but no reason to before then.

They can all go.

The rest of us only gain.


It will be longer than you think. And when it comes, you won’t be able to grasp how much blood will be spilt.

This is 0-100 stuff.

Off and then On.

Wake me up when you’re ready for On because then enough will be ready to make On stick.


Yeah you and Naval aren’t willing to go far enough.

You hope this system can adapt to what you want.

That’s not happening.

Accept it. Let me know when you do because then it gets interesting but in the meantime you’re pissing into the wind.


When was the last time someone from this modern system got their head cut off for anything?

I can’t even think of it.

Not in my lifetime.

I’m SO ready for these cunts to get lopped.

My bad is much lower than most but I’ll take the higher bar of these cunts ending for now.


Yep, I’m agreeing and saying they didn’t lol enough heads.


You don’t think any message would be effectively sent with 1000 heads in baskets?

Come on mate. Show me the incentive I’ll show you the outcomes.

1000 heads in baskets is a fucking powerful incentive.

I agree with your second half. I’m not saying that is problem solved. I’m saying if people of the West want a new class of parasites that only comes after the fear of god is put into the current class.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking we have to just chop heads of the bad ones. Every head that rolls adds to the fear and self-selects for better politicians that don’t want to lose their own.

They’ve killed and ruined enough innocents that I’ll feel nothing when they rightly cop the other end of the stick.

This is about moving Overton windows in different directions and I have zero opposition to moving the window against the current crop to resignation or head in basket.

Let’s see how they react. Not like we’re losing anything with career politicians on the block.


Fuck the French.

We can learn from those socialist retards.

What we can learn is anyone with any collectivised power probably deserves to have their heads lopped off.

I hate the State being wrong in whom they apply it to.

But I won’t shed a tear if statists are ended without due course - being part of the state is reason enough to chop cunts heads off.


I don’t see what you added beyond my point?

You didn’t acknowledge her clear and obvious drug use. You tried other explanations without calling out the obvious.

She’s high as a kite. She’s not ripping cones; she’d be more up and down than she is. She’s not on any stimulants, that looks different.

She’s not an alco - she’d have bottoms and we’d see them.

She’s on medical grade weed and the only way to stay at her level is oil which acts on the liver.

She thinks she’s fooling everyone but anyone who knows, knows.

Those that know are majority Democrats. Not her opposition.

You might be too straight to know what THC Oil abuse looks like so I’ll give you the benefit of that doubt but that’s clearly what Kamala is doing.


It’s not on relay admins.

Https://relay.nostr.com.au isn’t spreading ReplyGuy - you pay 6969 Sats and you are on the whitelist. ReplyGuy and his tens of thousands of accounts aren’t on the whitelist.

The mouse has won because the cat got fat and lazy and didn’t think the mouse could get any cheese.

When we tell the cat he’s been outsmarted he tells everyone he hasn’t and that they’re retarded for not following the cat’s setup where the cat controls both the biggest relay and the biggest client and hasn’t communicated how his personal setup has avoided the mouse getting his cheese but we’re all retarded because the mouse gets all of ours.


The reason is - she’s always high.

Go watch her over time. She was always high as VP then the coup against Biden happened and she sobered up for 2-3 weeks and now she’s back on it, too stressful for her to deal with.

THC Oil.

Slow acting and one easily builds tolerance to it. She was abusing the fuck out of “prescription” weed and is again.

Explains the cackling, and the braindeadedness, the attempts at profundity and the slurring whilst remaining relatively cogent.

Mark my words. Kamala is off her tits by any medical measure but gets by using her femininity as a shield for how high she actually is.


Good shout!


On Damus. We might get Outbox in 2033 after Will has pulled his head out of his arse where it was stuck building Notedeck that he and 4 other people were using.


Compare the damage from Typhoon Yagi which just hit Vietnam to Hurricane Helene.

Yagi hit a high-density place with next to no regs where facades were blown off buildings with high winds (because next to no regs) but there was very little flooding. Vietnam doesn’t really “believe” in climate change, theyre told it’s happening but they’re not banning plastic straws and coal power and shit like we are in the West.

What I see in the US is massive flooding in what looks like a superstorm. I’m not claiming I’ve looked into the difference in intensity between them but I see the difference in outcome and the country that isn’t trying to excuse everything with climate change seems to be dealing with a normal seasonal storm whereas the country taking massive subsidies from taxpayers for climate change got absolutely battered.

The US has tech to seed these storms. Vietnam wouldn’t do that to their people - they’re not entirely financialised like the US and don’t want the fallout.

I’ve got my tinfoil hat on agreeing with you here.


It’s no Nintendo that’s for sure!

Think I’ll add Little Big Planet to the list though at least. That one seems ok for the younguns.


Not concerned only because I expected this to come. When you understand game theory properly applied you can see all sorts coming and pre-prepare so that you’re not reacting to weird and stressful situations.


Women think they want kindness until they get disappointed with the physicality of it and yearn for strength.

Getting ready to gift my old PS4 to nieces and nephews aged 5 thru 10.

My first computer had a bunch of games on floppy disk, then my first proper computer with a CD drive came with no games and I remember I was fuming I had all that horsepower and nothing to use it on..

So I’m updating everything on the console, all the downloaded games, throwing in a bunch of PS4 discs, and want to load them up with things they’ll enjoy so that when they get it they’re good to go.

What do the ReplyGuy spam accounts all have in common? They don’t have NIP05.

Who else doesn’t have NIP05 - brand new Users with Zero WoT built up who don’t know NIP05 is a relevant thing here. Ie the bottom of the foodchain on #Nostr.

Everyone with presence on #Nostr has NIP05 whether through some paid service or their own domain. Users setup NIP05 before they setup their zap wallets in most cases.

NIP05 imposes friction and cost. It’s the equivalent of proof-of-work here where you can pay for it or DIY.

Requiring NIP05 puts the onus on paid providers to avoid spam or back on the spammer to have sufficient domains to continue their spamming - it limits a bad actors ability to spam the shit out of the network if Users can avoid seeing non-NIP05 verified accounts or filter out known-bad providers.

I want to filter on the vast vast majority of Nostr users who DO have NIP05 on their npub - per Will, head of the biggest Nostr client, that’s retarded.

I’ll tell you what is retarded - being head of the biggest Nostr client and doing three fifths of fuckall to help users deal with spam for 3 weeks because you personally have a setup where you don’t see the problem because you control the biggest public relay as well.

Where there’s no perfect solution so instead of providing solutions with tradeoffs, you get defensive to protect how you’ve done nothing to help users who are paying you to be an open source Dev and double-down on your doing nothing.

Where you don’t use your official App account to tell paying users about the limited mitigations you do have to offer.

Where you expect everyone to follow your main account on the opposite side of the world to Users where they’ll hopefully see your posts in their feed despite only having a chronological feed and no delayed reposting.

That’s retarded Will. nostr:note1tf87zywts0rydfs0s8q0ychypxz5hw3ae03yrfum8vnujznjhp6qe626sk

6969 Sats for paid relay access that doesn’t disseminate ReplyGuys


The US either ends up in civil war amongst themselves or they externalise it.

Both are shitty options but I’d 110% prefer they focus inwards and destroy themselves. It would save millions of lives.


Sure.

Then your npub is a burner. You can post into the wind on https://anonostr.com

I’m not opposed to people posting with Burners at all. That’s a legit usecase and I hope to see users of it by following hashtags.

I’m opposed to my feed being spammed by accounts which I should easily be able to filter because the client devs don’t want to give me any further tools to handle my feed.

If anon accounts want to spam a hashtag I can unfollow if. OR I can have thresholds like I’m suggesting.

This is Nostr bumping up against ancap limits. Ancap doesn’t work in a world of zero friction - it just doesn’t.


NIP05 should be “mandatory”.

Spinning up npubs is free. Attaching them to domains isn’t.

If we want to rid ourselves from domains we have a different problem but we can work on that AFTER we solve the current one.


“Relay spam filtering”

That’s the problem Will.

I don’t want to use YOUR relay spam filtering. You fucked up communicating your Web of Trust already so I don’t want to rely on you anymore.

I want you as my client dev to give me the tools to filter on npubs in my preferred client: Damus.

I’ll decide my own relays thank you very much.

You’re conflating things thinking you can solve things from both sides when you can’t even solve YOUR side, that of the client, satisfactorily.

Perhaps you need to pick a side rather than trying to do both shittily.


The client devs are running the biggest relays mate. It’s pretty obvious that messes with their incentives to run the best clients when they can fiddle on both sides of the argument and they don’t give us anything clientside because in their view, relay side solutions are better.

They need to focus on one side.

Client side they should be giving us tools to filter out bad NIP05s. Pretty easy for ReplyGuy with his masses of accounts with no NIP05.

They’re not doing that. Giving users that option is too difficult.


You don’t seem to care about any solution which “you think” you have already thought through regardless of whether you have or haven’t.

Maybe you have thought through my suggestion but you’ve dismissed it just because it doesn’t meet your bar.

My suggestion is real tooling for real users. You don’t like it because it’s not perfect.

So I get a button which you did a shitty job of communicating through official channels (a separate bugbear) and still get to deal with the dregs of it.

You don’t want Damus users filtering on NIP05. Only your solution “could” work even though it clearly hasn’t. My suggestion was dismissed because in theory ReplyGuy could add his own NIP05s and instead of considering how Damus users could share blocklists you just negged it.

I’m not going to be so kind as nostr:npub1494rtg3ygq4cqawymgs0q3mcj6hucvu4kmadv03s5ey2sg32df5shtzmp0. That bar is way too low IMO


I’ve been looking at second passports.

They are all fiat as fuck.

All of them.

No surprise when you understand the State is just the supreme mafia of any jurisdiction.

It is just super clear when you compare what different countries require and ask yourself why those specific requirements apply.


It’s a small thing but Nostur is the one changing Monero to 💩 right?

Shouldn’t be so much to ask to have one client not fuck with the feed negatively and not have them ignore problems on the other hand.


Nah leave it on.

If an open source network is going to resist attacks then devs are going to have to listen to and work with users.

That’s not happening now. nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk is the only dev I’ve seen actively try to help
users stop ReplyGuy. nostr:npub1q3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnws6cd26p and nostr:npub1n0sturny6w9zn2wwexju3m6asu7zh7jnv2jt2kx6tlmfhs7thq0qnflahe are at least in the idea stage.

The most popular clients running the biggest public relays are seemingly ignoring the problem because they have tweaked things to suit themselves.

They need to get their shit together or else become eighth tier clients/relays.

Users have been extremely forgiving and they’ve not given 1/10th of the fucks they should have.


It will most likely help with inflammation. It did for me but that seems to be partially a product of location and thus chemicals in food.


Agree 💯

But a counterargument: Alex gives >0.001 shit about ReplyGuy spam whilst nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s who I’ve donated to for 2 years doesn’t give one iota of a shit and neither does nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z on the alternative OS should I decide to switch platforms.

So overall that puts Alex and his false premise, even put up against a literal Lightning Dev on one hand and on the other a guy who created a fucking vaccine passport but other than that retarded lapse of judgment seems to care about freespeech and has done more for #nostr than anyone else developing his client, ahead of both.

It’s not like Will and Vitor don’t know the problem - they just don’t seem to care.

Alex is moving the needle. Will and Vitor are accepting a needle covered in shit because it doesn’t affect their own use of the protocol.

So I’m sorry, but I’m with Alex by default until others pull their fingers out their bungholes and start helping their Users. No-one is accusing Alex of not trying to help Users at least and as a client-dev, what other job do they have?

Asking for Sats and then abandoning Users is fukt.


No.

Because I don’t live by what Harvard Business Review says.

I laugh at what HBR says.


I like Alex, but there is no global.

I can see how in his mind there is, but in reality there isn’t.


If your client dev isn’t running a massive relay and ignoring users then sure


Bring back semisol.

If even Peter McCuckmack can go from leftist to right-libertarian with enough exposure, then why does anyone whatsoever care about Trey and his ilk of leftards?

McCuck had one of the biggest podcasts in Bitcoin. He worked out after much effort that messaging to “progressives” didn’t yield money in Bitcoin.

Even he reverted to conservatism about that which he knew best. Even he saw the bureaucratic behaviour as a cabal of his enemies.

McCuck was a proper leftist and he had to change to survive.

Trey is a proper leftist who doesn’t want to change - he wants to change leftists to agree with him.

Trey’s podcast failed. It has ended not by choice but because he couldn’t get “progressives” onboard to agree with him.

Neither is a hero.

And I’ve voiced my disagreement with McCuck plenty but I will say - fuck Trey with a cactus 😄

This space is not for progressives. It’s for right-libertarians here to separate money and state once and for all.

Trey doesn’t want that. He wants to co-opt  Bitcoin for progressive ends and he can shove that right up his progressive arse and if you don’t agree, go suck Saylor’s fiat dick.


Good!

We’ve run a paid relay for 18 months. We’ve disseminated zero spam.

If everyone paid for relays like https://relay.nostr.com.au then none of us would experience spam.

Paid relays are the solution - not the problem.

Free relays are the problem. Running a free relay with next to no spam mitigation should be considered an attack an Nostr.

Doing so as a client dev who refuses to provide any tools to mitigate spam - you you’re just a bad actor at that point.


Trey isn’t actually disappointed in Bitcoiners.

He’s disappointed that his leftist friends are the most resistant to #Bitcoin.

He can’t articulate such a point which would destroy his worldview; but it’s true.

Trey the progressive Bitcoiner won’t tell you this because he wants you to think we’re all on the same team.

I’ll tell you this knowing it will antagonise Trey and his followers because we are not because I’ve internalised Robert Conquest’s 3 laws of politics which are ironclad guarantees: nostr:note1nlw9dgjwkfhujt5vvqta9h9v0ymwv3354k7fy6fxy67yzvr2e5ks8nqkud nostr:note1fesv04cgmlkanughm5l0mtxylr0zvu7r8nf64uvv94cw2805hu6q4n2dtx


Ok sure.

I’m no fan of King Cantillionaire as my profile would reveal.

But I kind of expect that his xits are going to be pumped into my feed more often than the xits of people who don’t own Xitter..

That it took a Super Bowl for him to realise he wasn’t getting more exposure than a vegetable is… so irrelevant I don’t know why you’ve bothered to inform us of this crap?


I’m not comparing them.

If you re-read my note, I have been spending half my time on Xitter telling people to come to Nostr.

Recommending n00bs to come here when client devs refuse to help users deal with spam is a non-starter.

*I* look like the idiot recommending they come here and deal with spam when clients could help us deal with this but in 2 weeks have refused to do so because there’s no *perfect* solution for them to implement.

I’m not staking *my* reputation on Damus or Amethyst when the Devs are willing to have their Users spammed to shit. They can sort their shit out first rather than me burn my efforts getting Users to come and be as pissed as I am.


What false equivalence did I draw here?


After 6 weeks of #carnivore I went full #moustachstr today.

Dropped 8kg so my face is looking rather chiselled without the bushy beard and a nice fresh haircut. Complements all day!

Have to say Carnivore is a godsend. I can’t do it fulltime with my current fiat mining but I can easily do some weeks in winter and reap the benefits.

Definitely feel better on just protein and fat, never hungry. But giving up pizza and beer *permanently* isn’t worth it.


They’re already dead. Now wot?


This is what happens when client devs ignore Users who want *some* tools, because they don’t think those tools are perfect enough.

Half my activity on Xitter is telling people to get on #Nostr - guess what I’ve stopped doing on Xitter now that I can’t recommend a good client to shield n00bs from basic spam?

My own noting has dropped off and I can’t in good conscience tell anyone to join here when it’s a shitshow because we have no NIP05 filtering to stop ReplyGuy. nostr:note1rd0hrcxq5rt8maw7jcez6pv2y37w65galp7j50ldvun4jch2ftusaghk4g

Similarly you should really watch this - https://edition.cnn.com


It’s the easiest way to empower users.

Empowering Users isn’t in the client devs repertoire any more though..


Vietnamese joke about the people from Mekong Delta. They are their backwards lazy bumpkins because it’s impossible to starve there, everything grows easy so they just live and eat pho all the time whilst everyone else has to work.

Pho is their poor people food. Not banh mi; bread is a luxury. Not even broken rice.

Pho they never get bored of and get everything they need in one meal.


“You can’t vote your way out of this”

This is a common refrain amongst Bitcoiners and Blackflag types. Hell anyone who doesn’t trust modern Democratic systems.

But no-one seems to ask, “ok then how the hell DO WE get out of this cycle?!”

The answer is blood. Specifically the blood of parasites who believe they have moved beyond flesh and bone status.

Until they are reminded of exactly how flesh & bone they are, this system rolls on.

Lots of them have to have their heads lopped off so they can once again understand they’re not special. They have flesh & bone that can be ended like for anyone else.

Without real world costs on their behaviours, nothing changes.

#BBTG and make these cunts suffer.


Saylor is a BitcoinBug.

Bitcoiners need to absorb this fact.

He’s in it for NGU, not for separation of money and state like Bitcoiners are


Wasting so many drumsticks and he will wonder why he’s poor


Did you know that Ho Chi Minh wanted every Vietnamese to be able to afford a bowl of pho per day. That was a key plank of his ideology.

They run about 30,000 to 50,000 VND per bowl which is ~2 hours work for their lowest skilled labour like security guards.

Ok I thought you were talking about an actual Bitcoin issue there.

I want client devs to give users tools to filter on NIP05s. They don’t want to because it’s not a perfect solution.

It adds enough friction to solve ReplyGuy with onus on NIP05 providers or mass blocking his owned domains but it’s not perfect enough so rather than give us the imperfect tools and tweak with feedback they just let us deal with a maelstrom of shit instead.

They’re pissing me off a lot more than ReplyGuy is. Won’t be donating to the previous class of devs again based on how they’ve handled this.


Articulate the problem you see


I repeat, how retarded are you? https://i.nostr.build/dh6vvBVXC1lwg4mj.jpg  nostr:note1duvuvynarmecq9rq7tx55rqahrlqg2yu067vhvddnnpt6wzw9rzq6uqz8s


Sounds like a you problem.

Just release it and stop being a bitch.


Yeah I’m not an expert on this but I’ve got experience and knowledge of Australian Aborigines that puts me in the 0.01%.

It’s easy to claim the Aborigines were exploited. They were nomads with no property rights, just territorial claims and their technology was Stone Age coming up against Industrial era when Britain colonised.

I’ve seen what the Aborigines in their massive landmass (they’d be the 10th largest nation by area globally based on what they control under native title) have achieved - absolutely fucking nothing.

Everything they have, whities ‘taxes’ paid for.

Their rates of DV and child sexual abuse and general crime and drug abuse, if actually understood by the Australian public, would lead to a revolution tomorrow. I’m talking criminality on a completely unacceptable level. That they’ve been allowed to do this shit and we’ve paid for it is absurd.

I’m extrapolating here, but I’m not going to demonise Rhodes for being productive with a population who did nothing and never got themselves technologically able to resist.

The Aborigines didn’t, they later aligned with leftists and now the rest of us pay for them to rape each other whilst they’re regularly high and produce literally zero. 90% unemployment in their communities; they live off welfare.

We shouldn’t pretend like these people were hard done by when they’ve managed to keep their culture and it’s absolutely abhorrent. It shouldn’t have been maintained. It should have been stomped out when it was as easy as shooting fish in a barrel because they’d achieved nothing worthwhile saving.

The English only ethnically cleansed Tasmania. They could have easily done the rest and didn’t. If it were the Japanese who colonised Aus the Aborigines would be a footnote in history.

The tribes who sat on gold and never produced wealth until colonialists came - too bad, so sad. They lucked out that it was the English who colonised them and not a proper ruthless people as was more typically the case throughout history.


Yeah it would be nice if client devs actually empowered users to do their own filtering instead of telling them they’ll fuck it all up.


People will still be discovering things in #Bitcoin decades from now, possibly beyond a century.

Humanity has never had absolute scarcity before so we don’t know the full implications of it.

The fact that Austrian economists aren’t creaming themselves over BTC tells me they aren’t serious about their discipline. They should be having a fucking gold rush and instead they want to debate that because it doesn’t fit Mises regression theorem if it can even be classified as money.


Looting implies a violation of someone else’s property rights.

That wasn’t what Rhodes did - he used the lack thereof and the newly imposed colonialist systems to his advantage.

I’m not saying what he did was ethically right but that looting is not the right way to describe it either.

Exploiting seems more appropriate.


Sure but they’re not going to put anything of scale together. Ironically that would require further breakdown of society.

Whilst you still have “a government” they’ll be efficient in stealing from the most successful - only if it completely break down will the mining be properly efficient because then the mines will be self-sufficiently protecting themselves from government.


Is “looted” the right word?


Fukn nature always oppressing us! https://i.nostr.build/dpXxS0lqxb9qucpM.jpg


Well no, because they won’t let us open any new gold mines which was my point..

What good is gold in the ground? You’ve gotta dig that shit up, refine it, and get it to market and you can’t do that when government is denying new mines because some retard heard the “spirits of the ancestors”


This feels so quaint.

#AUStriches just had a massive gold mine denied by the government because RFK Jr’s Aboriginal cousin told Tanya Plibersek that the spirits of the ancestors didn’t want the mine..

Who in South Africa is gonna dig that shit out of the ground? The copper cable thief’s? 😂

Do Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan strike you as Top-14 countries in the world?

I can see a reset of gold because central planners can control that much better with their fiat tools.

But #Bitcoin is programmed to be better money, fuck whatever the dreamtimers and central banksters claim - it’s staying at 21M and will eat the world because of it. https://i.nostr.build/JBw1V91lcEtmN5cZ.jpg


Before your dad bought his first house for 12 gummy bears and a yo-yo, back in your great great grandpa’s day when people were still using real money, Australia had a massive real estate bubble and collapse that took 3 generations to recover.

Most people have serious problems coming to terms with the fact that "jurisdictional arbitrage" means more often than not moving to places where they don't want to live.

Hear me out: that's only if you want to do things 100% above board. At some point we will be forced to give up one of the following:
1. Our way of life, by moving to a place we don't like in principle at least
2. Our wealth, by surrendering it to our government in exchamge for staying where we want to live
3. Our safety and peace of mind, by working in the gray and black legal areas of the jurisdiction where we want to live

The establishment won’t go down until at minimum a few hundred of them are guillotined or hanged.

That’s the flip side of “you can’t vote your way out of this” that nobody wants to reckon with.

The way out is blood. Theirs.

It is in reminding parasites that they are flesh and bone and no-one is ready for that so you need to work out what the tyranny will look like and if you can handle it because the way out is behind thousands of people risking their own lives to show these people and I don’t see it coming.

You mightn’t like the options on my “the US doesn’t rule the world” map but I would challenge you - how many of those places have you spent time in to know the reality on the ground versus judging from what you think you know of them from your Western propagandised lens?

Remember we supposed live in a “liberal democracy” but the reality on the ground doesn’t match what it says on the tin..


Let them try.

Then it’s on NIP05 providers to keep their service clean - not too much to ask for paid service providers.

Then they have to fallback to their own domains for NIP05 which is cost and friction they can’t keep up for long before we block them all.


Aus always had a unique relationship with Britain. A lot of us have roots there.

They were always the older brother even if we felt like we got the better end of the deal living out here than back in ol’ Blighty.

I thought you might be ok after Brexit. Then my country went psychotic during Covid and you seemed to get through that better than us but everything else was fukt there before here.

I think the Irish will save themselves. The Poms will resist but it’s too far gone to be saved now.

Love the ULEZ bladerunners but that they need to exist is the real problem.

Think you’re pretty much as fukt as us tbh mate. The loicensing will continue until you go spill some blood and there seems to be as little appetite for that there as there is here (ie none).

This sums it up well: https://i.nostr.build/zIojx8olvuUKfxKY.jpg


Will check and report back 🤙


Client Devs don’t want to give users the ability to filter on NIP05s. It could be solved with that but apparently blocking whole domains would be worse than all of us getting spammed non-stop.


I don’t think it will feel like a bull market until we go and stay above $100k but once we do, that’s the new floor.

It’s going to be interesting to see how yanks handle the resistance there compared to those of from British colonies. I feel like we’ve got an advantage from cricket knowing how hard 100 as a barrier is.

But yes it feels like a convergence is coming. We get the good first and then we all get to suck eggs and deal with this shitshow in earnest.

People should think about where they want to be and what they want to be doing when that hits because I don’t think you’re going to be so free to jump on a plane with 12 words in your head at that point..

Remember when #Bitcoin first really clicked for you?

How you couldn’t sleep with your mind racing, how you thought you were too late already, how you wanted to tell every man and his dog to get on it?

About a week ago, before this recent price action started I got that same bullish feeling like when the lightbulb 💡 first went on for me. I became so bullish it made me hard 😂

Now Saif’s pod with Saylor and a 50bps cut feels like the starter gun has gone off and the bullmarket is coming back HARD.

Feel like we’ve got a massive run and then a massive crash of everything coming at the end of it. Housing ponzis falling off cliffs, currencies hyperinflating, gold repricing, the global order swinging wildly and governments going psychotic trying to keep their tax farms in order.

2025 we ride higher than any of us imagined.

2026 the chickens come home to roost.


Your prediction was end of 2023 😅 - nostr:note1xqtnp087w8dqezkawsnqth6p5gst4zz25svkdacj4s7vufpyh4fsu5r5lp

This cut feels like it’s been telegraphed unlike any other though. Not sure they’re worried about taming inflation either way, there’s a spendathon coming regardless of the election outcome.


Saylor is a BitcoinBug.

He wants NGU and that’s it. He’s not ready for the externalities that come with that.


They wouldn’t.

Historically they didn’t either.

Understand, we’re resetting culture back to what it was. 20-somethings will live with their family until marriage.

Absolutely. I’m glad you used corn for your family rather than some degen stuff. That is what it’s there for after all.

Think you could have improved your timing but life and the world moves on regardless of our timings.


You’re right, no-one won this argument. I was waiting for Saif to bury Saylor and he just didn’t. He was far too polite.

But Saif was on the right side of the argument.

You’re lucky that you’re still in #Bitcoin but you’ve already reached your Sats peak and will never get to the same level again.

I don’t mean that as a shame but rather as a caution for others to not go buying houses with corn.


I did years ago when I was getting in to game theory. Seems basic in hindsight but I definitely enjoyed plumbing those depths generally speaking


I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be a Billionaire.

Not saying I would have become one; there’s luck, and fiat ring kissing, and star alignment involved to make that possible and unconsciously I decided years ago that wasn’t a game I wanted to dedicate my life to.

Instead I accepted becoming a comfortable millionaire. That’s the level of luck and fiat ring kissing and star alignment I was willing to take on for the life I decided I wanted to live.

A level where I never have to bend over for anyone. Where I can walk away from anything, anytime. In which I’m beholden to no-one and can tell anyone to go fuck themselves and my life won’t meaningfully change for good or bad.

My status won’t push humanity to interplanetary status. It won’t reinvent the wheel nor discover Bitcoin. It won’t lead me to be written into history books. But it will allow me to teach the next generation what not giving a fuck looks like.

And I’m ok with all of that.

I would have needed to make very different decisions 15 years ago to really go after this for which I didn’t have the foundations then to do it and I see now I likely would have been the self-destructive type had the overwhelming odds against me succeeded.

I chose right for me.

Others will be more ambitious though.

The world needs people who want to win the race of life as much as it needs people like me to accept they’re not going to be the winners.

Because we can’t all win, winners need people to defeat and that’s nothing to do with fiat - that’s just how progress works.

I haven’t yet found what I really want to win at but I know that when I do, I will. Because I’m not the type to throw in and see what sticks on any old moonshot to defeat dreamers; I won’t throw my life away for just any idea, but when I do commit I know that I will succeed.

I’ve concluded that you don’t need to invent Bitcoin or be in the history books though. You need to push your family forward and setup the next generations to succeed such that they’ll empower the ones with both the will and capability to really shoot their shot.

Generational wealth is like doubles in pool. Setup the next shot, block your opponents, make sure that when your team comes to the table next they have the best shot to play and if they’re capable then make sure they’re the ones to go for the jugular.

Don’t try to be something you’re not. Play the long game.

Play for others on your team to win.

You don’t have to like Saifedean but he will tell you the truth in a way no-one else will **because** he’s an ideologue who has actually thought this shit through.

When you disagree with Saif you’re not disagreeing with him necessarily but rather you’re disagreeing with the proper application of Austrian economics and that’s a recipe to get your face ripped off.

He’s so ideological he’ll put theory ahead of his own ego. I think he gets a bigger kick out of being right than he does making money which puts him in my

Finally, an interesting Bitcoin podcast!

It’s been a while since I’ve seen people argue in Bitcoin but nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak managed to pull Saylor into an interesting conversation about credit and lending in Bitcoin.

Saylor apparently hasn’t fully thought through the implications of 21M and remains wedded to his fiat ideas.

He expects there to be yield on Bitcoin in future, but never says where it will come from in a completely fixed supply money.. “They’ll have to sell their assets to finance themselves!” - yeah no shit Michael!

The only way to generate yield in Bitcoin terms is to mismatch duration - literally run a Ponzi scheme. But Saylor expects that because the US Government will back the banks that this can’t go wrong 🤣🤣

Saif takes nostr:npub1sfhflz2msx45rfzjyf5tyj0x35pv4qtq3hh4v2jf8nhrtl79cavsl2ymqt line that capital will flow but HODLers will take equity rather than yield. This is the correct logical conclusion.

I’m not saying Saylor is completely wrong - I do see a future where banks will get into this space and lend and pay yield on Bitcoin.

But they WILL blow up. I don’t give a fuck if they’ve got their own nuclear arsenal let alone the full faith and credit of the US Government behind them, they WILL get out over their skis and they WILL be unable to fulfill their obligations at some point because they WILL greedily try to rehypothecate it in the meantime and no Government will be able to save them.

Saif and Allen both know the economy doesn’t require interest to function, that the world won’t grind to a halt without it - people will still spend money. Saylor just isn’t ready to let go of his statism (as evidenced earlier in the conversation) because he’s become accustomed to Billionaire privileges.

This is why I love #Bitcoin. You can be the CEO of the most successful public company of the past 4 years, all thanks to Bitcoin, and you will still be totally humbled by it unless you fully embrace the system as it is because it won’t be changing for your fiat games!

I’m not here to discuss how I can fork his open source codebase to make my own version of Damus that suits me.

Classifying your own heirs as retarded is most definitely a cop out.

They may actually be, but you’ve got the opportunity to educate them in a way you don’t with normies.

If you can’t get them to a point where you’ve informed them why they shouldn’t waste your inheritance then that’s most definitely on you.

Your job at that point is to provide the education to continue your lineage. To ensure your wisdom is passed on and remembered generations from now.

No-one else is going to do it for you. And you’d be a fool if you don’t think people like me will be teaching their heirs to exploit yours..


Yes.

I should be able to ban all #Primal Users at the click of a button if Primal are doing such a shit job managing their #WoT and allowing endless spammers in to their NIP05 registration such that it’s ruining my Nostr experience.

This isn’t remotely controversial.

This is client devs thinking they know what’s best for Users and refusing to give them the tools to do their own filtering. It’s client devs going the way of Xitter.

I didn’t pay 150,000 Sats for Damus Purple so that nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s could exclusively decide on who I see in my Nostr experience.

I paid those Sats so he’d have the time to build the tools such that I COULD DECIDE.

If nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr has a problem verifying spammers and I don’t want to see that problem manifest in my notifications - let me decide that!

If nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 has a problem where he’s verifying spammers then, again, I want to be the one deciding not to see that in my notifications.

I don’t expect @nostr.com.au relay users who get a free NIP05 address on signup to to run roughshod on the network. I expect to take responsibility for the Sats we’re paid to whitelist them for that NIP05.

Spam is in the eye of the beholder. We’ve already litigated this point to death on Bitcoin since Retardinals came into existence and that’s the common ground we all came to. We don’t need to reinvent that.

I should be able to ban all Primal Users at the click of a button and when Miljan posts an update that he’s got his house in order then I should be able to unblock all Primal Users just as easily.

This ISN’T #Mastodon. I have options for which client takes my key every time I want to connect to #nostr.

I just happen to like #Damus but if you’re not going to serve me then I’ll take my key elsewhere to a Dev who will give me the tools I want AND who spends the time to better communicate what tools are available in their client which tbh you have done a shit job with. nostr:note1mks0pzx2xuey9l2nxfe3zdgd8amxzwv3jng3fe2le08ame5qnqcstvclv8

Did you listen to his discussion with Saifedean?

Anyone who understands Bitcoin would disagree with the gist of your statement.


Have you considered how you will leave your heirs to inherit the generational wealth you’ve accumulated in #Bitcoin ?

Ok Walker. Imma listen to this tomorrow based on what you say. Jeff better be clear in his anti-statism or I’m holding you accountable.


This should be obvious but I’m not spending my time on Nostr so you have more ability to censor the network on my behalf.

My ideal is you have zero censorship capability and I have 100% censorship capability *within my own feed*.

So yes; I want everyone banning everyone clientside. I want that clearly and directly, not algorithmically.

I’d rather someone accidentally censor me directly than them leave it up to a client dev to interpret their intention.

Why are you interfering with censorship? I want to control censorship - I never chose to give you that power. I don’t care what your opinions of my own censorship list are, that’s my list and you are irrelevant to it.


This is not for you to worry about.

By all means document your concern. If the change fucks up you are covered.

But I don’t use Damus because of your thought processes on what filters are best. I didn’t even know about some filters until 2 days ago so how are you the best person to control this when you can’t even distribute info to your paid users like me?

If I want to block a NIP05 wholesale then that’s on me.

You disallowing this because you think you know better when you can’t convey functionality to your paid users is pretty stupid mate.


Ok.

Force Users into paid services (from 1 Sat) or allow Users to ban whole service providers is the choice.

I’ll take blocking whole service providers 100/100 times. 1 Sat is friction but when we’re left with at best WoT, then 1 Sat is nothing.

If the service provider can’t filter npubs then what the fuck are they charging Sats for?! Useless providers get 0 Sats rather than 1.

You don’t have to control everything Will. It’s ok to palm off certain functionality.

Right now your disallowing me from banning any NIP05 providers by not giving me this filtering which Id much rather have than not.


You and nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z have now said this.

So how?

If they’ve got to use their own domains then that’s friction and cost.

If they want to use a provider then it’s on the provider to filter rather than the client.

Who is building the zap version of Polymarket? https://i.nostr.build/qKHqEAHn0m2SYtxe.jpg


No-one tells anyone at this level anything.

The problem with that is Vitalik is retarded and needs to be told a whole bunch of shit.

If Satoshi revealed himself tomorrow and did that the next day BTC would be down 50%.

This retardation is already baked in for mETH.


You’re right. If some banking system tries to open this up it will end up being destroyed. It’s a Soros/Pound attack vector with 1000X leverage - nightmare stuff.


Saylor doesn’t say. Presumably from the fiat system because he definitely knows about the 21M hard cap. He doesn’t want to reckon with the reality though and gets annoyed that Saif holds the line of rationality.


I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be a Billionaire.

Not saying I would have become one; there’s luck, and fiat ring kissing, and star alignment involved to make that possible and unconsciously I decided years ago that wasn’t a game I wanted to dedicate my life to.

Instead I accepted becoming a comfortable millionaire. That’s the level of luck and fiat ring kissing and star alignment I was willing to take on for the life I decided I wanted to live.

A level where I never have to bend over for anyone. Where I can walk away from anything, anytime. In which I’m beholden to no-one and can tell anyone to go fuck themselves and my life won’t meaningfully change for good or bad.

My status won’t push humanity to interplanetary status. It won’t reinvent the wheel nor discover Bitcoin. It won’t lead me to be written into history books. But it will allow me to teach the next generation what not giving a fuck looks like.

And I’m ok with all of that.

I would have needed to make very different decisions 15 years ago to really go after this for which I didn’t have the foundations then to do it and I see now I likely would have been the self-destructive type had the overwhelming odds against me succeeded.

I chose right for me.

Others will be more ambitious though.

The world needs people who want to win the race of life as much as it needs people like me to accept they’re not going to be the winners.

Because we can’t all win, winners need people to defeat and that’s nothing to do with fiat - that’s just how progress works.

I haven’t yet found what I really want to win at but I know that when I do, I will. Because I’m not the type to throw in and see what sticks on any old moonshot to defeat dreamers; I won’t throw my life away for just any idea, but when I do commit I know that I will succeed.

I’ve concluded that you don’t need to invent Bitcoin or be in the history books though. You need to push your family forward and setup the next generations to succeed such that they’ll empower the ones with both the will and capability to really shoot their shot.

Generational wealth is like doubles in pool. Setup the next shot, block your opponents, make sure that when your team comes to the table next they have the best shot to play and if they’re capable then make sure they’re the ones to go for the jugular.

Don’t try to be something you’re not. Play the long game.

Play for others on your team to win.


Because Saylor is a statist BitcoinBug.

He can see that Bitcoin will succeed and destroy fiat which he will benefit from with NGU, but he can’t bring himself to accept that means the destruction of Statism as well.


Honestly I don’t think we want this to happen even if all Bitcoin HODLers would become wealthier as a result.

It would be like what Soros did to the Pound crossed with the Treaty of Versailles - talking about National-level financial enslavement of whole peoples by Bitcoin.

Absolute supervillain stuff.


I think the banks will offer bitcoin yield products too, but that wasn’t the point of disagreement.

Saif’s point was that without a BTC printer they will fail because the yield has to come from the fixed supply of 21M. There is no way around that.

You can’t just say “well the banks have the backing of the Government”. That doesn’t actually mean anything because no Government controls the Bitcoin ledger; the banks will be forced into default and no amount of IOUs will be accepted in lieu of UTXOs.

The fiat financial system isn’t going anywhere soon but Bitcoin has very specific rules and they apply for you, me, Saif, Saylor, Jamie Dimon, JPMC, and the US Gov all alike.

Sure some will touch the stove, but they’re going to get burned.


#AUStriches Australian Police conducted supply chain attack on criminal collaborationware

https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2024/09/18/afp_operation_kraken_ghost_crimeware_app/


What part of Saylor’s argument is more compelling for you?


“You can't issue yield in bitcoin and issuing yield in fiat is just more of the same shit.”

Correct, we know banks can’t issue yield in BTC because of the fixed 21M, but they can’t issue it in fiat either.

Think about it - banks would print fiat which would be dilutive of the numerator against the fixed supply denominator meaning the real yield would actually be negative against the price appreciation of the underlying Bitcoin.. No-one is going to risk that, they’ll just sell what BTC they need rather than take on counterparty risk for fiat liquidity.

This is why they cant back the dollar/peg with Bitcoin either. I mean they can and probably will try, but it will constantly break because fiat must be inflationary for the system to work.

And a system where the peg breaks frequently is revealed as pointless pretty quickly, people will just flood into BTC which.. further destroys the peg..

Absolute scarcity is a bitch. Humanity has never experienced it before and nothing in the fiat system is ready for it.

I thought it was great: nostr:note1z5g36cxhpggxctucqt4gpx4phcdel5dhqrwa0y6xt8nj9vy459ns3h8qfw

Saylor doesn’t want to reckon in earnest with the reality of 21M - he’s a BitcoinBug so he wants all the benefits of NGU whilst refusing to acknowledge how radically different the world will look because he can’t envision anything outside of statism.

This isn’t fiat where having the most means you’re the most powerful or have the best knowledge. This is Bitcoin where the rules are fixed and you either play within those bounds or you find out.


Yield doesn’t exclusively come from the fact there is counterparty risk though. There is cost to deferring consumption, and providing the security and matchmaking so whilst banks needed vaults and guards for security (you could do this yourself - private credit has always been a thing), Bitcoin relies on channels which also need security and the matchmaking is routing. That’s why the Austrian definition is broader than purely having counterparty risk and considers duration and other costs for why interest is not inherently bad.

Price appreciation isn’t yield because 1 BTC = 1 BTC, but 1 BTC in a Lightning channel should over time = >1 BTC with a risk that it = <1 BTC. I agree it’s fees in the purest sense rather than “yield” but I feel like this is semantics and not really productive.

Bitcoin doesn’t map one-to-one with legacy concepts so when we apply them they don’t always fit neatly and that’s a big part of where people go wrong. It’s why Saylor is getting it wrong. We have to work within the rules of Bitcoin, imposing outside ideas on it only helps us in the abstract but if our ideas don’t exist within those rules then they’re rough proxies at best and this is an example of that.


Those fees are generated because you’ve locked up your liquidity in a lightning channel for a time and taken on some risk and cost to do so - thats the typical Austrian justification for interest too.

So it depends on how pedantic with semantics you want to be. You’re probably technically correct, but in practice it amounts to the same thing.


Saylor tried to use history to support his claim because there has also been lending on “sound money” at interest in the past.

But gold was never fixed in supply, the stockpile always grew so getting away with the duration mismatch to pay a yield is easier in that system, even though it inevitably led to rehypothecation and then they only got away with that because self-custody at scale is impossible in gold without becoming a target for violent appropriation, and modern economies required greater velocity.

Interesting that Allen and Saif have both studied Islamic banking and reached their conclusion that equity will be the path forward whilst Saylor apparently hasn’t so couldn’t grok this point.


There was a NIP written for lightning polls but went nowhere.

https://github.com/toadlyBroodle/nips/blob/master/69.md


True. I shouldn’t have said duration mismatch is the *only* way because Nik is right, collecting Sats fees for lightning liquidity is a yield and operates within the system without violating 21M.

Saylor’s discussing it from a capital perspective though. Borrowing money for a car or a house.

So say Bitcoin hits $13M per Saylor’s projection and a teenager wants to borrow $100k for a used car (inflation is a bitch) - that’s 769,231 Sats for a car.

In this world tx fees are going to be WAY higher. Realistically we’re heading to 500-1000 Sats per vbyte - that’s another 6.5%-13% cost on capital in tx fees.

People aren’t going to pay that kind of fee + interest to do this on the base layer to buy a used car..

Lightning or future L2s are the only feasible way to transact $100k at $13M Bitcoin. We could tack on additional lightning fees to represent the yield but then its not contained within Bitcoin any more, the car and the loan are outside of Bitcoin’s property rights enforcement which is not a knock on Nik’s idea, merely pointing out this doesn’t solve the yield either.

So if we can’t get around the 21M - where does the yield come from?..

WHERE DOES THE YIELD COME FROM IN A FIXED SUPPLY ASSET THAT IS CONSTANTLY APPRECIATING IN VALUE MICHAEL!


It’s possible people don’t want to zap polls but other clients don’t see them from Amethyst Users so a massive chunk of the network doesn’t know when they’re up - makes it hard to judge.

I paid the bounty for this dev, it was intended to give nostr another usecase for zapping and make it costly to try to sway polls but I’d rather have SOME polls in every client even if not with zaps than none.


Everyone could use them but client devs haven’t implemented so they can’t. If they’re a feature in only one client then few will use them.


Finally, an interesting Bitcoin podcast!

It’s been a while since I’ve seen people argue in Bitcoin but nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak managed to pull Saylor into an interesting conversation about credit and lending in Bitcoin.

Saylor apparently hasn’t fully thought through the implications of 21M and remains wedded to his fiat ideas.

He expects there to be yield on Bitcoin in future, but never says where it will come from in a completely fixed supply money.. “They’ll have to sell their assets to finance themselves!” - yeah no shit Michael!

The only way to generate yield in Bitcoin terms is to mismatch duration - literally run a Ponzi scheme. But Saylor expects that because the US Government will back the banks that this can’t go wrong 🤣🤣

Saif takes nostr:npub1sfhflz2msx45rfzjyf5tyj0x35pv4qtq3hh4v2jf8nhrtl79cavsl2ymqt line that capital will flow but HODLers will take equity rather than yield. This is the correct logical conclusion.

I’m not saying Saylor is completely wrong - I do see a future where banks will get into this space and lend and pay yield on Bitcoin.

But they WILL blow up. I don’t give a fuck if they’ve got their own nuclear arsenal let alone the full faith and credit of the US Government behind them, they WILL get out over their skis and they WILL be unable to fulfill their obligations at some point because they WILL greedily try to rehypothecate it in the meantime and no Government will be able to save them.

Saif and Allen both know the economy doesn’t require interest to function, that the world won’t grind to a halt without it - people will still spend money. Saylor just isn’t ready to let go of his statism (as evidenced earlier in the conversation) because he’s become accustomed to Billionaire privileges.

This is why I love #Bitcoin. You can be the CEO of the most successful public company of the past 4 years, all thanks to Bitcoin, and you will still be totally humbled by it unless you fully embrace the system as it is because it won’t be changing for your fiat games!

A few weeks ago I walked by a cemetery in Melbourne and noticed 3/4 of the graves were broken. These were Christian people who died in the mid to late 80s. The ground had washed out from rains over time and the heavy stone had lost its foundation and cracked and crumbled away.

This was a sunny Sunday and there wasn’t a single person at the cemetery, just after lunch time.

Asian cultures have a completely different connection to their ancestors and dead relatives. They actually care about the people they knew who are no longer here and maintain their traditions of honouring and remembering them.

I don’t really see the point either.

The MSTR leverage playbook makes sense if you can access cheap debt but given how relatively poorly the Australian ETFs have performed, I doubt an Aussie version would get the same investment that MSTR or Metaplanet has managed.

Australians are too focused on their housing ponzi, business investment is at the same level now as the early 90s recession.


It’s going up and to the right forever Laura https://i.nostr.build/A1cnNassMHbTlRWd.jpg


When will ReplyGuy learn?


BitVM a solution for this down the track?


That a politician speaking on the floor claiming everyone else is beholden to private companies, justifying why they need to intervene to save us all from ourselves


Not on Damus


I've been working on a decentralized electronic voting protocol that's fully peer to peer, eliminates the possibility of electoral fraud or double voting, keeps votes private, and is verifiable by anyone.

It benefits from Nostr relays, and Bitcoin’s clock, and DOES NOT require a blockchain or token.

I would greatly appreciate cypherpunk eyes looking over it before releasing.


The Liberals want to use super to prop up the housing Ponzi more directly as far as I’m aware.

Bipartisan support wouldn’t surprise me though


Pretty high.

Current government proposed it, they’re likely to be in minority government next term being dragged further left by our psychotic Greens party and a bunch of champagne socialist Karens who claim to be independent but are really just a front for the renewable energy lobby - together theyll get it done.


Yes, on superannuation (our equivalent of 401k) balances of over $3 million. Thats where it will start of course, won’t take long for it to expand.

They’ve already restricted transfers to crypto exchanges to $10k per month; they don’t want any escape hatches for when they turn the Dollarydoo into confetti to prop up our housing Ponzi.

They’ll ignore it at first, too small to care about for now and mentioning it will just have a Streisand effect.

But once they do pick up on it I’m assuming they’ll probably go after the relays. They can easily seize domains here.


We never stopped.

“The problem with Australians is not that so many of them are descended from convicts, but that so many of them are descended from prison officers.” - Clive James


Exactly. Australia is the test balloon but this will be coming to Western “liberal democracies” around the world.

All are aligned with the psychotic WEF agenda which gets all the parasites on the same page for their globalist regime.

Time to start thinking about which side of the silicon curtain one wants to be on. Particularly when you throw in considerations of birth rates, demographics, and how advanced each nation’s fiat Ponzi scheme (and derivatives thereof) are.

Aussies are all too busy waiting for someone to come and save them, even those paying attention.

It’s hard enough to get #AUStriches Bitcoiners to use #nostr, dunno how long it took nostr:npub19jhpz8m5tv2m33z78es7r0qseth8th77kttf6kerk0x80sfuy75s44uy5w to come across?.. Getting normies from Xitter to do anything other than reee about it rather than act on solutions is seemingly impossible.

They’re going to have to experience the pain and by then it’s too late to undo any of this stuff.


Leave Australia so you’re not subject to this dystopian bullshit.

It’s coming regardless of what anyone says or does.


Here comes the third prong to fuck #AUStriches once and for all.

Digital ID comes in December, both sides of government are pushing legislation to have social media users KYCed (see note below and image 3) which will be here mid-2025.

And now they’re pushing ahead with the mis- and disinformation bill which defines “harm” so broadly (image 2) that there is no escape.

No more posting about Bitcoin, that harms the economy. No more disagreeing with net zero lunacy, that harms the environment. No questioning vaccines, that harms health.

If you do - they’ll have your identity and will come and arrest you for breaking this new law.

Bye bye Australia 🇦🇺 https://v.nostr.build/SUzWO8tItR8kdbKF.mp4 https://i.nostr.build/BBdqZcfkXlx6H03b.jpg https://i.nostr.build/kJ1QQxhRdUgwzZei.jpg  nostr:note169sh3rkq2w639r5x558yqwnskwed897qza5m7qa0sw8l8dsngpkq5u9wgu

Selling drugs involves two consenting parties - my kid would get the first beating and you’d get the second.

And no I wouldn’t delegate that.

Are you allergic to responsibilities or something? Female perhaps?


The NPCs can officially update their narrative. Everyone else knew this 18+ months ago


I as a parent would take responsibility for my children.

That’s what parents are supposed to do - not outsource parenting to the State.

It’s like you’ve forgotten the natural order of things because you’re so awash in modern day nanny statism.


We don’t agree about selling crack.

The State and its interventionism is the problem.

The algos aren’t feeding the kids statism like we used to get from radio and tv and newspapers and public schooling. Kids aren’t buying the facade any more because Millenials and younger are done with this shit and aren’t consuming the propaganda like the Boomers did and do.

That challenges the State’s legitimacy and they can’t have that. Can’t have people consuming unapproved narratives and wondering how big of a mob would be needed to effectively guillotine all of the parasites in parliament to rid ourselves of this nonsense.

That’s all this is about.


You should have an ounce per head of your household in case shit hits the fan and you need to get out of dodge to somewhere with electricity where you can use your corn.

I stash an ounce when I travel too. Worst case you get robbed of your phone/wallet/docs, you can get some cash and not be homeless or reliant on others to sort you out.


Information benefits from attempts to suppress it.

This is why Nostr will win.

RFK III will be crusading to stop brain implanting children at birth alongside the 482 vaccines they get by age 5


I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near a custody arrangement like that.

You’d have to imagine that if someone wants those keys they’re going to go a LONG way to get them given what’s at stake, literal nation state level wealth on the line.

I assume there are already intelligence operatives working their way in to Coinbase to set this up. IBIT already has $20B+ - imagine what an activist group could do with that kind of uncensorable capital..


Everyone who says Blackrock will control Bitcoin fails to fully think through the game theory.

If Blackrock has say $1 Trillion in their ETF, the bounty on the heads of the key holders in their multisig is.. $1 Trillion

Not $1 Trillion insurable dollars backed by the full faith and credit of the US Empire and the money printer. But rather $1 Trillion worth of liquid Bitcoin which can be permanently and irrevocably moved to someone else’s control in one block’s time.

The world isn’t ready for Bitcoin going parabolic.


Well done Martti
