People frequently seem to ask what happens to the security of the Blockchain when the mining rewards slow down if the fees aren't high enough to pay the miners.

Here's an idea;

Large scale miners slowly wind down as profits drop, smaller scale miners using renewable sources all over the world carry on mining because it's a) cheap enough and b) critical to keeping the network running.

It was never envisaged that a number of mining companies would arise as they have or would go public, with all the dodgy incentives that brings.

This isn't what was expected but for now it's what we've got. It'll change over time. We don't need high fees to keep public companies afloat. Fee's won't matter, they'll just be a nice juicy bonus.

This part ⬇. This is just my opinion, but I believe that this is the part of the process that society is currently undergoing.

"The truth is on your side, and once you realize that, you have all the power. They will turn on each other. They have no real friends, they have sold everything that’s real. They will panic.

The only thing keeping their abject charade afloat is your fear and submission. Speak up. Let them know that you know. That we all know. And they are fucked."


Will say this every day if I have to: people are not nearly angry enough over what happened the last three years and what is happening now. They are trying to take away free speech, STILL giving away your money to arms manufacturers and drug companies, no matter the harm both have caused.

If I had perpetrated this fraud and horror on those who were supposed to be my constituents, I would be overwhelmed by fear of the reckoning, the karma for what I had done.

They might be sociopathic as a group, but as individuals it’s simple banality of evil all the way down. If they had any inkling of how so many intelligent and informed people feel they would drop to their knees and beg for mercy.

That they do not do this is only because they think everyone has been fooled. They have fooled themselves into thinking this. But if people spoke out, pointed and jeered at the naked emperor, the shame and regret would be off the charts. Speak up, tell the truth, stop living in fear and enabling the ignorant and fearful.

The truth is on your side, and once you realize that, you have all the power. They will turn on each other. They have no real friends, they have sold everything that’s real. They will panic.

The only thing keeping their abject charade afloat is your fear and submission. Speak up. Let them know that you know. That we all know. And they are fucked.

Man, do they love discrediting themselves?!


🤣🍿 no.

You have to be a bot.


You can be simultaneously assertive and respectful. I'm not sure many understand that as well as they think.


Personally, I think alot of men of the past two generations have become overly concerned with appeasing everyone. This has led to alot of them becoming very effeminate in some ways. Many seem to have forgotten or are scared to be assertive.


I don't know what your beef is, man. 😑


Yup. Alotta women like a man who knows how to take control. The whole BDSM fetish makes me very uncomfortable, tbh.


Not good to generalize


I know what you meant. I should've clarified a bit more. I was suggesting that this sort of behavior has a tendency to generate mixed feelings among both genders. Obviously, this is not the case for everyone though.


If this is a joke it's a very bizarre one. 👀🤨

"The alternative, however, is to recognize that [new machines are] faster and that, hence, time does not matter so much any more [...]  Hence, it becomse more realistic to invest some of the machine's speed in other things than sheer production, such as programming comfort, elegance, and reliability."

https://www.usdebtclock.org/


😅 I'm not even sure if democracy exists anymore.


We'll see what happens. It's too damn difficult to predict how Bitcoin will impact society. We've never had anything like it, and humanity has proven time and time again how terrible we are at predicting the future.


Also true


True


Also true. Now... I hope this doesn't sound off topic in any way, but this is where global adoption of Bitcoin could have a significant effect. If you give people control of their money then you give them control of whatever available resources they themselves have. Like Stella described in a previous post: it would create a barter system of sorts. I could go on, but the broader effects of Bitcoin adoption is, obviously, widely unknown. 🤷♂


This is true. It's rather strange how we manage this particular matter. In my opinion, there is another matter that always seems to have a substantial impact, and not for the better, I believe. Corporate and government interests always seem to end up becoming the priority, which, in turn, results in a very small portion of the global population having nearly total control of the planet's resources. Food is a significant issue as most of it, nowadays, is processed, and the 1% seem to get access to the healthiest foods available. But, you should consider how food production would progress if more and more people began to grow their own food instead of relying on processed foods from corporations. In simple terms, humanity as a whole is inappropriately managing their available resources, and profit has become an issue, not a solution.


Your opinion is your own, bud. I should've read the entire thread. My mistake.


Sorry about that. I assumed you meant abortion in general.


Honestly, I feel somewhat guilty for saying this, as I believe most people are well-intentioned. But... I mean... they are adults! 🤷♂🙄 They gotta learn to take responsibility for their poor decisions at some point in time.


"Of all the frictional resistances, the one that most retards human movement is ignorance." - Nikola Tesla


True. My opinion may come off as somewhat controversial, but I personally believe that this is how we, as a society, identify those with greater potential. 🤷♂😒


Hhhhmmmm. Ok. Thanks for providing a little context. And yes, I agree. The natural sex-ratio is best for everyone. Governments have no right to dictate the direction which human reproduction takes.


🤨 I'm not so sure about that. Perhaps I'm being a bit bias, but with abortion you're killing off alot of human potential that could provide assistance in the production of agricultural needs. What do you mean by "With abortion, there will be a lot of girls in the world"? You're essentially murdering people. Am I missing something?


Spot on! 👍 GN! 💤


Correct. The thought of taking even the smallest of risks has become a perpetually unthinkable strategy. People too often focus solely on the drawbacks of such an approach, but the rewards are almost always significant.


Agreed. That's beneath us.

Sounds about right. Honestly, I've given up on trying to orange pill people. It's exhausting wasting my breath. I orange pilled my mother. Good enough for me. 👍


I wonder why this is the case. I mean, why does being orange pilled have a tendency to unveil many other issues on a broader scale? 🤔


It sure is!


I think people, deep down, do care. It's the stress that comes from resolving the issues that frightens them. But, cowardice is never a good approach. 👍


Tbh, only two that I can think of. One of my best friends and this guy I see at the gym fairly often. Both are Bitcoiners. Getting orange pilled really does change your outlook on many matters. This disinterest you're referring to never ends well for people.


I'm curious. What brought this up?


Of course not. Most have been indoctrinated into believing that governing powers will take care of everything for them. That and being raised in a culture where a lack of assurance has become the norm.


No


Lol. I'm already an atheist. You don't need to involve me in this. I was just stating that I still read.


Lol. They give me that look, as if they're thinking "What is a 'book'?"


Although I feel bad for people who were lied to and told they needed a degree to be a success, but never told how to intelligently look at the pros and cons, I really hate when people borrow money and then complain and/or refuse to pay. Not repaying a loan is no different that theft.  Since student loans are guaranteed by the government, they are stealing from average Americans, many of which are worse off than they are and/or already were responsible and paid off their own debts, but are being enslaved paying off less responsible people’s debts.

We need to totally reform college education in the US.  The federal government needs to get out of the business of guaranteeing student loans.  Students need to be taught how to analyze the trade-offs of a college education.  They need to look not only at how much more they will make after receiving a college degree, specifically for the degree they intend to attain instead of averages.  A limited number of degrees, like engineer, lawyer, doctor, and architect, have significant benefit and can only be entered into with a degree.  Many more have a small increase to income, but that increase is frequently not enough benefit to overcome the lost income while in college, the cost of college itself, the cost of living expenses during college, and the cost of interest on the student loans.  A few degrees, primarily victimology degrees like women’s studies, gender studies, and African American studies probably make them less likely to earn a good income.  What employer wants to hire someone who spent 4+ years learning to be a victim, find fault in others, and sue companies?

If banks had to deal with the cost of defaults and not just the benefits of earning guaranteed interest, they likely wouldn’t finance expensive degrees in fields that don’t add much to future income and that may make the person unfit for most jobs.  This would prevent people getting into this mess in the first place.


Lol. I do. More and more people view me like I'm a weirdo because of it. 😎


Buyouts masquerading as elections


Lol. Perhaps they're just trying to go out in one final blaze of "glory"! Idk. 😑

Meh. All humans are. 🤷♂

I've been through 3 bear markets and I've seen scammers come and go, and many go out in spectacular fashion, but I have to admit Justin Sun has had some impressive staying power over the last 8 years or so.

He has launched so many copycat projects, that have gone nowhere, but keeps finding ways to generate capital to launch the next copycat of what is trending at the time

But I must say this stUSDT, wstUSDT has to be one of the most agergious of his projects and that's saying a lot, because there is a long list

How people are still falling for his crap is beyond me, and what makes me really sad is how many global South peeps are using USDT on TRON because it's the cheapest rail and they could be suckered into becoming exit liquidity for Sun with his derivatives.

Secession


Couldn't agree more. Disagreement is necessary when trying to solve broad issues like economics.


The States are becoming more and more divided on many issues and more National Guard troops are being deployed.


I wish I could disagree.


It is awkward, I agree. The thing is, people find it difficult to admit that all the labor they've contributed could potentially be worthless. But it's not. Their labor isn't worthless; the currency they're being paid in is. "The Bitcoin Standard" opened my eyes to this. Government controlled currencies have a 100% failure rate.


Yup. They seem to believe that if you receive a bi-weekly paycheck, it means you understand economics as a whole.


I hope you're right, man. 😅


Dude, it was just a joke.


Can't wait to see how that unfolds.


This is what happens when you live a life that's too luxurious.


It's kinda funny. I've explained, in detail, to people the history of currencies and they're almost always completely baffled by it. They don't seem to understand that monetary systems evolve over time just like everything else. Lol. I feel like it's very simple to comprehend. 🤷♂

Drunk posting?


Lol. 🤨 I can tell sometimes, when I'm talking to people in public, that they know I'm not being genuine. But, when I am, I'm usually trying to give them advice or calling them out. They don't take either well. So... what the hell do ya want from me peeps?! 🤷♂ LOL. You can have a polite lie or the blunt truth. Take your pick.


Absolutely. Just consider how hollow you feel when trying to fit in with everyone else. Maintaining a facade like that can be exhausting.

Lol. So much hostility over such trivial matters. I can't help but have some pity for people like that. If he believes this then he clearly doesn't fully grasp nostr's potential as a network. 🤷♂


Nobody has ever had or will ever have a presidential campaign more badass than John McAfee running in the libertarian presidential primary while running from the IRS on his boat in the Caribbean.

Also J-Mack didn't kill himself.


How was it?


Hal Finny was calculating #Bitcoin  price of $10,000,000 per coin just ONE WEEK after the the genesis block on January 3rd, 2009.

It's interesting that the system can be configured to only allow a certain maximum number of coins ever to be generated. I guess the idea is that the amount of work needed to generate a new coin will become more difficult as time goes on.

One immediate problem with any new currency is how to value it. Even ignoring the practical problem that virtually no one will accept it at first, there is still a difficulty in coming up with a reasonable argument in favor of a particular non-zero value for the coins.

As an amusing thought experiment, imagine that #Bitcoin  is successful and becomes the dominant payment system in use throughout the world.

Then the total value of the currency should be equal to the total value of all the wealth in the world. Current estimates of total worldwide household wealth that I have found range from $100 trillion to $300 trillion. With 20 million coins, that gives each coin a value of about $10 million.

So the possibility of generating coins today with few cents of compute time may be quite a good bet, with a payoff of something like 100 million to 1! Even if the odds of #Bitcoin  succeeding to this degree are slim, are they really 100 million to one against?

Something to think about...

Honestly, you could be right. So much has happened in just the past two weeks; things I didn't expect to see for at least a few months. But, who knows?!


No, you're on point. 👍


There is another matter that's been bothering me a bit. Nostr does have the potential to have a big effect on data distribution but it can't just be a copy of Twitter or IG or whatever. It has to move beyond that and it has to build a more influential network. I'm not sure that creating a decentralized copy of all the legacy social media platforms is the right way to approach such an issue. Also, they can't remain the most popular clients. We already know that you can build clients that possess a wide array of use cases, and that's good, but they're not being utilized enough in the real world.


Yea, I agree. They definitely have a few tricks up their sleeve. But, to me it seems like they're not fully prepared for whatever "black swan" events may occur. They certainly weren't prepared for bitcoin. Idk. Too many unknowns.


I would say 1+. Things are collapsing a lot faster than I expected. Not sure if you've been watching the news lately, but border issues are getting WAY out of control, they're also talking about another lockdown within just a week. I could go on 🤷♂. Bottom line is: all they can do is print money. They can't fix inflation. It's too late. Just take a look at the debt clock. Only a fool would disagree. Desperation is already beginning to take effect in major U.S. cities. Violent crime rates are already rising, and people are fleeing cities, etc. Of course, this is just a personal opinion.


No harm in trying. 😅

This reminds me of something else that the vast majority of people don't seem to comprehend about our current Keynesian monetary system or perhaps they choose to remain ignorant about it: they don't want to spend money; the current system forces them to.

Lol. Good question. 🤔


If you had a newborn, what would you do?

And I would just unclog it myself.


A fair point. There are other factors to consider, as well. How many will even own a single sat? How much will the average person own? And if you do understand it's scarcity and value, you'll understand that people will only want to spend it on necessities. She wasn't saying that bitcoin won't be used, at all.


I agree. They are. What's your point?


🤔 A barter system of sorts. This actually makes perfect when you consider Bitcoins limited supply. This'll take MANY years of adjustment for people. I can imagine that most won't wish to adhere to it.

Personally, I think people like that are just terrified of feeling worthless to society. It's just rather ironic, in a sense because all their efforts to create some kind of legacy lead to them being hated by the people they claimed they were trying to help.


"To me, the human move to take responsibility for the living Earth is laughable - the rhetoric of the powerless. The planet takes care of us, not we of it. Our self-inflated moral imperative to guide a wayward Earth, or heal our sick planet, is evidence of our immense capacity for self delusion. Rather, we need to protect ourselves from ourselves." - Lynn Margulis


I highly recommend reading all of her works! 👍


Aaahhh! Ok. I see. Then we were on the same page. That's what I was alluding to in my comment below. I also agree. Sustainability hasn't reached passed conceptual stages.

I agree.

I'm sorry, but what are you trying to elaborate on with this statement. Simply that the Earth has a long time left in it's lifespan or that humanity may have alot of time to see a reduction in entropy? Or something else?


Can't stop the earth from getting blown to smithereens. Let the planet do what it has to.


The planet is. Humanity isn't. As it was always meant to be. But, in regards to your original question regarding entropy: no, probably not.


Eww... just... eww. 👀

Hiw marriage is the most important statistic.


Unexpected outcomes seems more likely to be the reason, imho. Humanity is notoriously terrible at predicting these.


I wasn't trying to say they were.

Can you explain a bit, please?


Some men aren't meant for marriage, the same applies for some women. 🤷♂


Probably. Doesn't excuse the fact that that's the reality of the whole situation.

Lol. And that's not true. I've met my fair share of bad moms. Some of which are family members.


Gotta agree with nostr:npub1y6r0se3afdlfzwtd0crzcfj6lyczkas47590shh76jppk3kjsmtqavadu7 on this one. At least, to a degree. Men aren't oblivious. We know how expensive marriage can be.

People still really haven't appreciated how bad the car thing is. Or the phone thing. They think they do, but they don't. The full range of capabilities has yet to be used routinely — companies and states are both trying to keep it beneath the waterline. The public is intended to be unsure what it is that they're looking at, and why it matters. It is the news report playing in the background of a disaster movie. It is the half-glimpsed monster from a horror reel — implied, but never fully shown.

History is still going to look back at this period with enormous bewilderment that we did not do more to stop what is coming. The signs were there.

#Nostr I love you but HOLY SHIT can we not tightly couple clients with specific relays?

Tried damus, iris, snort, coracle and in each of them it's not easy to remove all existing relays so you can add a private relay.

I've slowly (miraculously) gotten a whole friend group curious about nostr and am trying to hook them up with a private relay just for them, and they are going to give me so much shit when they try to set up their client with the relay I'm running because it's such a hassle to drop existing relays in most of these clients.

I was going to say damus was the best but just now someone NOT ON MY PRIVATE RELAY liked my note! is the damus relay always on if you are using damus?

Maybe we need a "clean reset" button on clients and users can start from scratch?

Seriously, I love you #nostr - just feeling frustrated because I don't think I can onboard my friend group without carefully walking each of them through setting up their client 1 on 1 to use our private relay and telling them to ignore all the random shit they are going to see on global as they do it.


Neither do I. Oh well. 🤷♂

One of the most sinister lies of the establishment, is that we should be afraid of economic disaster if everything was consistently getting more affordable.

ie. Natural deflation hurts the economy, thus the counterfeit class is “saving us.”

A valid assessment. I agree. Here's the thing, they'll start to panic when the housing and stock markets begin to significantly crash again. The housing market will crash to historically unforseen levels. We have Airbnb to thank for much of that since they've been mass purchasing properties for tourism. Less supply = price increases = less demand. 🤷♂ And take a look at the stock performances from just today. Personally, I believe the market crash is slowly beginning to happen already.

Lol. It has to be.


It's pretty wild how the media has affected people's views on law enforcement. I have an old high school friend who's a cop. A good one at that and he knows plenty of other good cops, he tells me. He also told me that a few years ago his precinct alone had almost 600 applications in just one year. In 2022 it dropped to less than 50. Also that he's received plenty of death threats and has been spat on on numerous occasions by people he was trying to help. 🤷♂🙄


... this is a joke, right? 🤨😅


I feel like every week I hear about, at least, two school shootings or stabbings on the news. I don't understand why people are so against the police. People hear about a few corrupt officers and they become convinced that entire police departments are like that.


I mean, this is what happens when the state chooses to ignore problems for so long to the point of implosion. Desperation kicks in and crime goes up.


This anarchy will only get worse in the short-term. We're all gonna have to tough it out. 🤷♂ No choice.

California Legislature Approves $25 Per Hour Healthcare Worker Minimum Wage Bill

California Legislature Approves $25 Per Hour Healthcare Worker Minimum Wage Bill

            By Kelly Gooch of https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/workforce/california-legislature-approves-25-per-hour-healthcare-worker-minimum-wage-bill.html

The California legislature has https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billHistoryClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB525
 a bill that would establish a $25 hourly minimum wage requirement for workers in hospitals and other medical settings.

The bill, https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/compensation-issues/california-proposes-25-hour-minimum-wage-for-healthcare-workers.html
 in February, now awaits a decision by Gov. Gavin Newsom and comes after union and hospital representatives reached agreement on how such a requirement could be addressed.

Under the bill, cities and counties would be https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/workforce/california-legislature-approves-25-per-hour-healthcare-worker-minimum-wage-bill.html#:~:text=Workers%20at%20dialysis%20clinics%20and,wage%20is%20%2415.50%20per%20hour.
 from increasing pay via ballot measures for 10 years.

Workers at healthcare facilities with 10,000 or more full-time equivalent employees would earn $23 per hour starting in 2024, with pay increasing to $25 an hour in 2026. That affects workers including nursing assistants, medical coders, launderers and hospital gift shop workers, according to the https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-09-14/california-lawmakers-approve-25-per-hour-minimum-wage-but-not-without-a-fight
.

Workers at a hospital with a high governmental payer mix, an independent hospital with an elevated governmental payer mix, a rural independent covered healthcare facility, or a covered healthcare facility that is owned, affiliated or operated by a county with a population of less than 250,000 as of Jan. 12 would earn $18 per hour starting next year, with pay increasing to $25 an hour in 2033.

Urgent care clinics, skilled nursing facilities and other smaller facilities would be required to pay workers $21 per hour in 2024, with pay increasing to $25 per hour in 2028, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The bill allows some healthcare facilities to apply for a temporary pause or alternative phase-in schedule of the minimum wage requirements if they have documentation proving financial distress.

Carmela Coyle, president and CEO of the California Hospital Association, described the bill as a balanced approach that supports workers and protects jobs and access to care in vulnerable communities.

"The bill creates a pathway to improving wages for our lower-wage healthcare workers, while also recognizing the needs of our state's most troubled hospitals," Ms. Coyle said in a statement shared with Becker's.

"And, by preempting local ballot measures on minimum wage and compensation, all healthcare workers will be paid equitably regardless of where they work. SB 525 demonstrates hospitals' commitment to healthcare workers, patients, and communities."

Tia Orr, executive director of Service Employees International Union California, also praised the bill.
"Healthcare in California will be more accessible and equitable because workers and healthcare providers stood together and stood up for patient care," she said in a statement.

She added that the bill also invests in a strong, diverse workforce.

"By and large, Black and brown workers have held the lowest-paid and most overlooked jobs in healthcare, so SEIU workers are particularly proud of this landmark investment in equity," Ms. Orr said.

I literally see tents set up on the side of the road when I jog to the gym. Less than a month ago there were none.


In all seriousness, illegal immigration and homelessness is becoming a HUGE issue. I don't even live in a heavily populated area and even I've been noticing a rather large increase in homelessness.

I mean... yes and no. People need to change how they manage their assets (if they even own any 🤨) during times of crises. I'm not saying that they need to just go out back and burn all their dough. But, perhaps hold less of it in their bank accounts and a significantly larger amount in assets. Monetary units and policy definitely need to change during these periods. And let's be honest about our current state. It's impossible to fix our debt issue without completely devaluing our currencies. Policy change will have no significant effect on this matter.

No


A fair point. But, large portions of the population will, without a doubt, have diverse opinions. We can't stop that. Secession shouldn't be thrown off the table, IMHO. We'll see.


Exactly. Having an opposing military force that is that large, powerful, and close to major populations can, and most likely will, have adverse and detrimental effects.


Look, here's the thing: if a state does decide to secede than it will undoubtedly cause some issues with regulation, travel, certainly some economic issues etc. But, I doubt it would lead to some kind of open military conflict of any sort. The borders are too close and families are spread all across the country.


If you're talking about the secession part, then I get what you mean. Seceding has the potential to lead to some serious civil conflict.


I have to agree. People in first world countries have become far too complacent and lazy. They're gonna have to learn the hard way. 🤷♂


Which part? The secession or bitcoin mining?


Here's the thing: most people have to hit their lowest point to become open to the acceptance of any sort of change.

That being said, I believe things will, most certainly, get worse before they get better. It's gonna be a wild ride. 💯


Dude, the whole damn world is.


Human ignorance can be unbearable, huh?! 🤷♂


🤔 Something related to marketing or perhaps energy usage. The Bitcoin and Nostr communities could definitely use some reinforcement in that area. Not to mention that it would definitely help, to some degree, with adoption.


Texas seems to be on the right path. They've been utilizing Bitcoin mining to stabilize their electrical grid. I've been wondering for some time if they'll try and secede from the U.S. 🤔

I would not say it's a net negative. It's just that far too many users utilize it in a irresponsible manner. This attention seeking behavior gets old fast! People need to realize that you don't need validation from others. Very grateful that I ignored social media for all these years.


Is it just me, or does it seem like everyone is super reluctant to monetize services and relays on #Nostr?

If we can’t make these things sustainable then we will either lose them, or they will stay nothing more than a weird little corner of the internet with lots of hope but no chance of ever scaling.

I still haven’t seen the basic model of zap sharing tried by any major client or relay. But I DO see regularly comments about how expensive relays are. I mean it might not work, but can’t we TRY it?

I want to make the distinction here too that this doesn’t mean we are closing off the network, we are adding permissions to the protocol, this doesn’t suggest at all to used closed source code, we simply need the services necessary to keep this ecosystem robust, to be profitable and have the resources to thrive. If they aren’t, then NONE of this works. Economics is everything.

I know building features is more exciting. I know we all want to make everything that we can free, and I agree all of the *code* should be shared. However, I think there is a natural insecurity (and I say this because I have this problem personally) with charging a fair price, and fearing criticism or the ire of people who believe everything should be free (as in price) when we need things to be free (as in Liberty). They are not the same, and confusing the two could stifle, or drastically slow down, the insane potential of this place.

TL;DR We have GOT to divert some energy to thinking about how to make this ecosystem sustainable, or we will lose it.

(Disclaimer: this isn’t a judgement on whoever is thinking about this problem. It just *seems* like few are. If you are building in this way please share your ideas or what you are trying. I’m extremely interested)

Technological progression outside of Nostr is advancing quickly. We need to keep up! 👍👍👍


We need to learn how to market ourselves!!!


Let's be honest here. Nostr needs to change. It can't just be a decentralized social media protocol. It will NEVER survive that way. Even I'm beginning to get bored of it.


Social media cannot be it's primary purpose!


Nostr's on a losing path. If we want it to survive then this particular narrative needs to be spread quickly! IT CAN'T JUST BE A SOCIAL MEDIA CLIENT!!!


You gotta learn to market your products. 👍


If you want this scenario to become a reality then Nostr has to move beyond being just a decentralized social media protocol. This is non-negotiable. Too many people are focused on the social media clients. This is not good. It has to be a decentralized marketplace and many other things, as well.

Ruling:
FBI allowed to search "all PCs in the U.S."

At the end of August, the takedown of the Qakbot botnet made headlines. Now there is some background research on the action that the FBI led. The interesting part- it's about a mass search of victims.

Yea, they've had that effect on many. 🤷♂


Barely anyone reads books anymore. Wtf. 🤨


Btw, every exchange does this.


We've all been there. Whether it be in stocks or BTC. I would say you're in a good range.


You literally took the words outta my mouth. I was just about to say that the ever increasing rate of technological advancement will undoubtedly have some role to play in adoption rate.

The collapse of the Reichsmark doesn't seem like a great comparison, imo.


Fair point. 👍


I have to agree. All ya have to do is take a gander at the debt clock and then ask yourself: how long will citizens be willing to tolerate this egregious amount of debt?


Lol. I have well over 90% of my dough in btc.

Lol. People baffle me. They know that the entities you mentioned are the reason for all this trouble we're witnessing, yet, they rely on these same entities to fix it. 😅🤣


I just hope that they stay true to their word. Alot of influential BTC "maxis" from the pre-COVID era have abandoned BTC.


As expected.

Countries with weak currencies have been in a state of desperation for a long time. The ruling powers are reaching that point, too. Faster then I expected, tbh. 🧐


Much of that depends on the rate of adoption.


There are two sides to this argument. On one hand I have to agree with Stella. They might not see Bitcoin as a threat. On the other hand they might very much see it as a threat due to the interference that BTC generates in government and corporate control over the global money supply. That's a HUGE problem for them. 🤷♂


Lol. No no. Safe and sound. Took a little vacation with fam and friends. What'd I miss?


He's a bit sketchy. Same with Keiser, imo.


Tbh, it might be better to stick with CashApp. Strike is a Bitcoin only app, right? No stocks or anything? Transactions done through Strike might be too easy to target for banks.


I also don't think the social media aspect of nostr is the end product. That's just the entry point. To dive into all the possibilities of info on Relays and clients that interact with that info you would need a cryatl ball. I remember when the world wide web launched, I was messing around with Dos and floppys to play Doom and Wolfenstein. But the Web had zero things to explore for me because Noone was there yet. Now everyone is on the web.

Btw, is your bank still screwing with ya?


I fully belive all the "barriers to entry" are just a lack of info and education and we are in the beta phase of this thing. 100% agree


We need to make the new user experience on nostr better. Bluesky’s topped a million users but our growth with nostr hasn’t kept up. I’m very pumped on Nostr and think we’ve got a better model for building social apps, but there are problems.

Wallets and keys are hard to understand, browser extensions make sense if you’re coming from the crypto world, but most people don’t get them. We need a login with nostr that works like / with oauth. We need better contact discovery, content warnings, apps to have by default anti-spam filters, etc… Unsexy stuff where we go from it works for me to it works for non-technical users.

Lovely!


Remember: Relays can see your filters. If you are searching for weird/illegal content, the relays you use can always see what the app is asking for and what it got as a result.

And there is no way to avoid this. So, make sure you trust your relays with that type of information.

GM.


Good! We're all starting to realize this! 🙄 Took long enough.


Would love to hear some clarification as to why. 🧐


Lol! You're doin' great Elon. Keep it up! 😅👏👏👏


By the time we get to mid 2024 the liquidity situation could be a lot different. Too early to say on timing now.

Could have the halving followed by better liquidity, and thus have another one of those rocket fuel bull runs into 2025.

For those interested, the recent interview I did for Palisades Radio was the best/clearest macro interview I have done in a while, imo:

https://youtu.be/9o4javu3p1Y

We touch on bitcoin a bit  at the end too. He brought up gold as the interview came toward a conclusion, and I broadened it toward gold/bitcoin and then he ended up asking about bitcoin.


Can't argue with that. Most just see a ngu tool without understanding the concept or philosophy behind BTC.


Things are always so inverted that you just have to laugh.

People have been enslaved for all of human history, & western capitalist cultures were basically the first to abolish the practice in a big way. But capitalism & western culture are somehow most blamed for it.

The truth is that "progressive" policies & socialism are actually just modern adaptations of the dependence breeding ideologies that were used by the most successful slave masters.

People have been taught to see only a caricature of slavery so that, without the whips & chains, most are unable to identify it. It is shouted that capitalism (the actual freedom to trade & own the fruit of your labor) is evil & somehow the source of slavery, while weeds are sewn to produce a system of ever increasing taxation & the destruction of property rights. In the process, attempts are made to blind you with bribes & handouts because "we just want to help" while they actually make everything harder & steal more of what you earn.

This is not an accident, there are people out for power & they mean it. And at the same time there are normies who want to escape responsibility for everything. This is not new, these forces are very old. Together they have inverted wise sayings. They have inverted important stories. They have inverted entire religions. "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" has become "blood is thicker than water." The man who actually recovered money from tax collectors & returned it to those who earned it has become a symbol of parasites who want to "eat the rich." The man who was tortured & crucified for refusing to sacrifice reality & truth to arbitrary authority has become a symbol of self immolation. You are told that sheep shall inherit the earth so that you will make yourself into sheep, and so that the true cowards might feel good about themselves in the process.

The pressure comes from the top down & the bottom up at the same time. Self loathing, cowardice, willful ignorance, greed, & a lust for power & status, all align to create a conspiracy of immorality & injustice. Even the word "greed" has been corrupted because the greedy don't want to be easy to name or identify. The only rational meaning has to be: a desire for things unearned with no regard for the costs or those who bear them. But instead people who want to keep what they have worked to EARN are called greedy.

Politicians work to choke off competition in an industry while they invest heavily in the companies they allow to live. And while in most cases the corporate leadership is probably in on it with them, anyone who doesn't play ball is demonized as a greedy profiteer. It is literally the degree to which a person is good & right that gets him attacked, while murderers & pedophiles are safe to rise as high as they like.

If we want to stop these people, then individual soverignty is a duty. We must be extremely dangerous & also extremely civilized & productive. The ability to unapologetically spread messages that show people reality for what it is, & for us to engage in tax defying counter economic activity with the hardest money to ever exist, are our primary weapons. These are things worth taking seriously.

The rate of increase is the inflation, tho, as it is presumed to correlate with the monetary supply. They can't effectively measure how big the supply is or how fast it is growing, so they look at price changes to a basket of goods, instead.

Price ≠ inflation rate
