THE U.S. IS JUST ANOTHER DICTATORSHIP


“When social media was on the rise, most decisions were made by a small group of people with almost no oversight. Those people created platforms that helped us connect in new and exciting ways, but they also failed to anticipate the harm their tools could do. By the time it became clear, much of the damage had already been done. We can’t make the same mistake again, and the industry leaders I talk to agree. The stakes are too high.” — Obama
—
This is ironic, because the greatest harm caused by social media has come from government interference, and our Three Letter Agencies are literally “a small group of people with almost no oversight.”

I believe the same will be true of government interference with #AI

Bitcoin won't function as a short-medium term USD inflation hedge as long as the majority of market participants continue to treat it as a risk asset.

You don't get to choose how everybody else uses Bitcoin. If they all decide to sell it off with stocks when the market tanks, then it's buying power will go down.

That's just the way it is.


Actually, wait. If they effectively perform a false flag op on U.S. soil then there is a good chance that they could rally the "sheeple" against countries like China or Russia. They've done it a good amount of times against the Middle East. 🤷♂


I would love to say otherwise but I can't think of a valid argument to make against this. This is pure insanity!


Yea, so... this makes me think that they have some kind of false flag op planned. They can't be so stupid to think that this is actually a good idea.

It's franny's relay. 🤔


Question: what dictates a good relay?


Another surprising bonus in Japan - Every bathroom has at least one urinal like this so you can get some dips in while you piss 💪

My cousin is the same, pretty much. A few girlfriends from her college years but most of her best friends are guys. And yea, they've pretty much all asked her out at some point. I have some divorced family members. Definitely affects guys a bit differently. 🤔 I feel like guys have a tendency to recover much faster from it.


I feel like you're probably in a similar situation my cousin is in. Pretty tomboy, makes a six figure salary as a mainframe programming manager for a bank, very smart, single, and gets a lot of male attention. Other women hate her. LOL! 😅


LOL! One more thing: tell your husband he can calm down. 😅


Word of advice fellas: when you approach a woman don't act like it's your first time encountering one. That won't help ya! 🤣👍


🤣🤣🤣 I can't even argue with that after seeing the dating scene today.


Do I just add it to my list of relays?


Might sound like a stupid question but how do I test writing to relays?


Probably. I'm guessing that you don't have many girlfriends.


This comment reminds me of the date I went on recently. I've known her for a looooonnnggg time and, as awkward as it was, it was very easy to build chemistry. Felt refreshing, tbh.


And strangers have never hit on you? I don't believe that.


Oh... well this is embarrassing. Can be so easy to take things out of context on social media. 😅😏 Dammit...

Well, I stand by what I said. 😁


Lol. I'm always on the shit end of the stick. 🤷♂


But, you're married. 😢 Can't win 'em all! 🤷♂


Yea... you and I would get along just fine. 😉


C'mooooonnn!!! You know that! 😏🤣


If a handsome 32 year old man, like myself, saw a cute 43 year old mom with entrancing gray eyes walking down the street, I would be mackin' on that within seconds! Just saying! 🤷♂😎😁


Lol. Early 30s?


Could it shatter glass?


Probably


Let me ask you something: what age group are these men, usually?


"No idea"?! 👀🤣


It's got nothing to do with curvy figure... or the eyes. Yea, it's definitely just the voice. 😅👍


Oh, yea... it's definitely the voice. 😏😅


I would love to get an answer to this question from some of nostr's top developers.

We all know a bad actor won't tell us to stop using their relay. 🙄


This just helps me affirm my reluctance to post a selfie. Mock me all you want, but I can't help but find something invasive about it. If you're comfortable with it, that's fine. Your decision.

Any relays in particular that, maybe, we should avoid?

I was just thinking: "I don't think I see a single wrinkle on her"


I mean... I can't deny it. I'm a good-looking dude. My friend is Dominican, Brazilian, and Nigerian. She's gorgeous! I have a good amount of other mixed friends and acquaintances. They're all VERY attractive people. 🤔 And then there's Stella!


I was thinking Moroccan.


Thinking out loud here, but why do heavily ethnically-mixed people have a high tendency to be very physically attractive?


Yea, you could definitely see the Maghreb side of you.


Lol. For a while I had trouble believing that you had any African ancestry.


How diverse is your ancestry?


A guy sends me a polite email, and says in a couple paragraphs that 1) he doesn't really see any role for bitcoin in a portfolio, it has no intrinsic value, and it just trades on sentiment and also that 2) it threatens USD hegemony and so politicians are likely going to add friction to it.

So I'm like, well, if there's nothing particularly valuable about it to give it any value or consideration for a portfolio, why does it threaten USD hegemony? Like, it threatens the largest and most globally salable monetary network in the world while having no intrinsic value, no portfolio role, while just being a thing that trades on sentiment?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯


"Vincel". Is that a term, yet?


Yea, I don't look asian at all, really. Definitely not like this guy. ⬇ I'm just pretty tan, that's all.

German wine. Can't say I've ever tried it. 🥂🥂🥂


I'm curious... so... I asked you how you would refer to me if we met in-person. You said you would refer to me by my name and other things that might involve my race. Tell me specifically what other terms you mean.


Imo, racism would most likely still exist. You're forcing them to succumb to terms that they don't want to agree to, through the use of violence. Of course, provoking someone without a plan would be unwise and irrational.

No one wants to live near people who are so easily provoked. Which is why national borders have become more of a problem and not a solution to anything. Its as Nikola Tesla said "It is by abolishing all the barriers which seperate nations and countries that civilization is best furthered." Nationalism is a form of hatred which almost always lead to some form of unecessary conflict. Whether this conflict is a foreign or domestic one.

I'm going to be frank about this, and keep I'm mind, that I don't mean what I'm about to say in a disrespectful manner: I find you rather ignorant, in general.

Now, let me ask you a question: what do you think the world would be like if national borders and religion didn't exist?


For real. That was a dick move. Sorry, bud.


Never.

The main reason I don't like using it is because I've seen people of all ethnicities and races get physically assaulted for using that type of terminology. The violence that ensues always seemed unecessary, which is why I encourage people not to use it. I figured that if they had not used it to begin with then those instances wouldn't have occurred, at all. I feel as if that logic is sound.


Actually, wait I wanna delete that. Sorry.


I wish you'd take some time outta your week to go find a good woman to smash!

Just wanna say one more thing: I do not agree with the language you use, but I can't argue with your logic.


Hope the vacation is going well!


Fair enough


Why don't you have a lightning wallet set up?


On that we can COMPLETELY agree on! 👍👍👍


Can be too easy sometimes to take things out of context on social media.


I just figured that your mentality towards these matters might have something to do with what generation you were brought up in. That's all. Tryna get a read on things.


Yea, I saw your previous post. Bad timing, man.


Man, internet lingo is hilarious!


Lol. Well, that just ain't true.


Is he part asian and european?


So... he's just sayin' I'm talkin' shit? Lol. Like everyone does.


Lol. I just looked him up. Why do keep referring me to him?


A respectable answer.

I look pretty damn white, just with a nice tan and VERY slightly slanty-looking eyes. I am bald. Also, stand at 6'1. I would never say I look homeless.


I'm Dutch, German, Korean, Scotch, and Irish. How would you refer to me if we met face-to-face?


Dude, I'm just trying to understand why you refuse to refer to people of different races by less antagonistic terms like black, white, Asian, Spanish etc. You seem extremely prejudice.


Lol! What is the "top 2%"? 🤣👏


I actually meant that literally.


Lol. Why do you care? I could say what I want.

Nostr = free speech

🤷♂


I didn't mean that literally. I was using it as a figure of speech to say that it's a great way to piss people off.


Not for the next hour or so.


I'm just saying this because I have black friends and I don't like this kind of talk. And neither do they. Talking to them like that is a great way to get your skull bashed in.


And how old are you?


Lol! Why do you refer to them by the n-word?!


Hypothetically speaking, would you inherently hate me if I was an African immigrant that legally emigrated to the country that you live in?


So, you won't answer question?


You're overthinking it. I mean hatred in the traditional sense.


🙄 lol! Now you're just ignoring the last part of my question.


I feel like the answer is yes.


That doesn't answer the last part of my question. Do you, personally, support the hatred behind it?


Lol. Oh, I've never heard of that term. 🤷♂ Whatever.


And?


🤣 Lol! He's calling me a pussy?


I'm so confused


Dude, so what?! Yea, there are nuclear powers involved! Ok! The economy was going to collapse even if these wars never occurred. Also, let's be honest, we never had a chance of preventing Israel and Palestine from engaging in another large-scale conflict with each other. It makes up almost all of their modern history. Them destroying each other has seemed like a likely outcome for a long time.


Are you a bot?


What?


Before I say anything else, let me ask you one question to help me gain some perspective:

Do you support racism and the hatred behind it?


I wasn't having trouble following, at all. That's why I said that the issues between two countries have been going on for millenia. I'll say again: they are clearly not open to a peaceful resolution. So, just let them destroy themselves.

I was using my issue with racism as a means to emphasize the broadly unproductive effects that racism creates for society. These effects are still being put on full display to this day.

Tbh, I would say that you and Stephan here are having some issues following.


I wouldn't call that an infection. Just a preference for white meat.


Don't know who that is.


I don't even know what that means and I don't care.


"Humans exist becuase of racism?" Do you realize how dumb that sounds? 🤣 I'm not denying my own existence!  You're clearly not getting it. And that's a VERY shortsighted perspective. A dangerously shortsighted perspective. 😑 You really don't believe that humanity as a whole isn't meant to evolve beyond the prejudice that's being demonstrated today? Even after knowing that a HUGE percentage of the Millenial and Gen Z generations are multiracial.


I'm actually not any of those things. I'm a mut of German, Dutch, Korean, Scotch, and Irish ancestry.


And I really don't care about this whole Israel-Palestine situation. As I said in a post from a few weeks ago: these issues have been going on between these two countries for millenia. They clearly aren't open to a peaceful resolution. So, just let them destroy themselves. It would be far from the first time in human history that two cultures have destroyed themselves.


My comment wasn't directed towards you. My mistake. It was directed strictly to white_male. I just don't like this hate-filled speech that he was using. I've had to deal with too much racism directed towards me throughout my life to appreciate it in any way. Racism is based purely off of hatred and it never achieves anything. Just causes more damage. People who support racism are truly pathetic individuals.

Initial out of the box impressions are very positive. The unit itself feels good in the hand, heavy & solid. The fingerprint reader is quick, and NFC worked without issue on my pixel 6a. Overall I give the hardware a thumbs up. Sleek & simple.

Setup was fast! I recorded a video of the process, it was 4 minutes long 😂 No words to copy, just a backup of the mobile device key to online storage. Google app backup in my case, iCloud for my apple friends. It also requires either a sms capable phone number, or an email. These are for the recovery process in case of a lost Bitkey, or mobile device.

I immediately uninstalled the app and wiped data to test the recovery. It worked, once again fast. Recovered the mobile key from backup, and had me up and running in literally seconds. In a case where you have only one key, either mobile or the bitkey, the recovery is a bit different.

https://i.nostr.build/XL70.jpg

I obviously haven't tested this. Maybe, we'll see.

I also sent an on chain transaction to my new wallet. It does what a wallet needs to. Gave me an address plus a QR code and a copy button, received bitcoin. It uses mempool.space as it's transaction explorer, that's a plus. 👍

https://i.nostr.build/ELjM.jpg

One thing missing. No dark mode UI! 👀 The software is minimal, not a lot of settings to tweak. You can set a daily limit for spending that won't require the hardware device. Custom electrum servers are supported. I want able to connect with my umbrel setup, but I haven't really tried anything yet. I will be sending feedback to support, I'd really like to have that working. The UI is functional and simple.

Overall the whole package has a good first impression. Beautiful, well crafted hardware. A fast, setup and recovery procedure. The software will surely see updates, but so far works well and interaction with the device itself is fast and easy.

That being said I don't expect anyone to drop their coldcard for this. It is obviously aimed at newer users, and maybe a good choice for someone who doesn't trust their ability to protect their keys. The phone and email requirements can be easily worked around with burners. The uploading of keys to online services not so much as of now, but it's just one of the two that are needed. A trade-off of security for convenience, for sure. I can see myself using this as a day to day wallet 💯

I've been fairly dissatisfied with most of my past relationships and hookups but I don't feel like I troll people like that. Although, I feel like that definitely has something to do with my upbringing.


Talk about terrible timing. Lol.


That's true.

Lol. I wouldn't say that about most men, though.


Yea. To a degree.

I guess. I still don't fully understand the mentality behind this. But... whatever. 🤷♂


That could definitely be the case for some. Honestly, you probably have a better understanding of that than me since you've been using social media for much longer. Lol. It would also explain how the term "incel" became so popular.


#bookstr

Any other recommendations?

😁


They look tasty. 😋


Most of us haven't acclimated to it. Quite the opposite, imo; it's built a type of disgust for many. Porn is very toxic. Of course this is not the case for everyone.


Lol. You're just proving my point even further. And you just made two contradictory comments. You said their social media use is insulated, and then you said women imitate influencers. Therefore, you just proved that social media use, inadvertently, has a much larger effect on behavior among women. Men more often than not don't feel the need for this imitation because we don't feel as much satisfaction from online interaction. Another thing I noticed from observing Nostr is that men don't post anywhere near as many selfies. It's true. 🤷♂


That first part is 100% true. But, you ladies aren't innocent when it comes to this matter either. Lol. If you do some research on social media addiction, you'll see that mostly women are addicted, especially young girls. Social media use has become a means of ego amplification for many, and many use it to create superficial beauty standards. Lol. A LOT of men are getting tired of it. In simple terms, you're putting yourselves on too high of a standard.


Meh. Whether or not men care about natural beauty is a purely subjective matter. It depends on the man's goals and the stage he's at in his life. We can certainly tell the difference, but determining its value coincides with a man's level of maturity. Any man with moral values will most likely get tired of dating or hooking up with shallow, gold-digging women. If you made this post ten years ago, my reaction would undoubtedly have been completely different. I wouldn't have cared if a woman looks gorgeous with or without makeup. But... I'm 32 now, and I am looking for a partner to settle down with. It ain't easy. Lol. 🤷♂


I know people who still shitcoin and refuse to exit. Too scared to admit that they're making a mistake. Ego is one hell of a drug.


I actually used to shitcoin for a brief time before I started to stack. Lol. What's funny is that the profit I made from Dogecoin is the reason why I was able to buy my first whole coin. 😂


Or they go curl up in a corner and cry as they continue to lose money and still refuse to buy bitcoin because they're too scared. #NormieMentality


I expect that if the #btc fiat price keeps doing what it's doing, I'll be getting calls from people that I haven't heard from since it was costing $69k. That's the genius design of #btc it knows human behavior and it knows many will get snared for the NGU. Then they are forced to learn why it's different. Then they become maxis. Wash, rinse, repeat. It's amusing to watch.
#RandomThoughts


Lol. Chug that shit.


Alot of alcohol. Best sleep medicine ya can get. Thank me later. 👍


It won't. You can't fix the inflation issue. It's too late. But, at least with the wars going on, they can slow it down. In other words, they won't have to keep increasing the tax rates. They already created enough issues by trimming the annual budget and increasing taxes. In the grand scheme, it's just a way of manipulating the inflation rate. 🤷♂


How long did it take to grow those?


Personally, this is why I believe that the U.S. has made such a large investment in the Ukraine-Russia and Israel-Palestine conflicts. If they print more money without a legit source of income that will just increase inflation. The U.S. is already enduring enough issues without those two conflicts.


Yep! It's also why the U.S. Navy has made it a priority to defend Taiwan. It's a very real possibility that China might invade them.


This would be exciting.

It's very ironic. Women put so much effort into trying to look beautiful, but they just end up destroying what natural beauty they had. Of course, the beauty industry wants this.

20 years?! 👀 Best of luck. 👍


I’m not good at asking for help, but I am presently faced with a medical expense that I do not know how to pay at this point. I have been in constant pain for almost 20 years with bad teeth, and they have begun causing secondary health problems. Because of the structure of my teeth and bones, it will be a surgery to have them removed, and I’m liable to end up with holes where they were leading into my sinuses, etc. It’s doable, but it’s work for the surgeon, and they charge for that sort of thing.

The surgery looks like it will cost about $13,000, not counting the cost of dentures. Someone suggested I create a donation page on Nodeless, so here it is. There are countless people in worse situations, so I don’t really want to ask for anything. But if you feel like chipping a few sats to help out with this, every little bit helps.

2. Either Isreal or Palestine will flat out destroy each other. Hence the collapse of another failed culture. Far from the first time this has occurred. 🤷♂

No, I think nostr:npub1p5ryszcvdca78jdp5ewhu67zpyfz042m7nrha6mqx7a8wakrqrkqre5ksj is most likely right about this. The housing and Airbnb markets are both in bubbles. I think we're just gonna have to wait for them to pop. After they do, housing will hopefully become more affordable and take supply away from Airbnb. Also, I can only hope mortgage rates will drop as well once this happens.


Aribnb has been buying up properties en masse for a long time now. They're eating up the supply, which is why housing prices have been skyrocketing. A 500k dollar house most likely costs anywhere in between 700k-800k, atm. Meanwhile salaries, as well as the average income, have barely increased at all.

Less supply > price increase > less demand

This is true. Skin bleaching is also quite popular, although more often than not, it's done without the use of surgery.


Sorry to disappoint 🤷♂


Disney's gross, dude. 🥴


Women doing crazy things to be deemed as beautiful has never been a cultural specific behavior.

I agree. Some beauty standards have changed, but I've noticed that more asian women nowadays make rather heavy use of plastic surgery to make themselves look more European. You haven't noticed this? This is huge with alot of Korean women.


I have your typical dark brown eyes. Almost black really.


This is true. Have ya noticed that many Asian women have become obsessed with plastic surgery?

Think about it.


That reminds me. I don't think I've ever met anyone with gray eyes. Must be quite a sight to behold 😍🤔. Knew a girl who had golden eyes. I could get lost in them for hours.


It might have something to do with it. I know that's not the case for me. If you're a gorgeous woman, then you're a gorgeous woman. I don't think anyone should overthink what they define as beautiful.


Man, Bitcoin is so volatile!

Bank of America stock since it's IPO ⬇

Yea, that is a bit strange.


Lol. Just makin' sure.


Lol. So... I gotta ask. Do you have something against asians? 😅


Lol! Buddy, my previous comment was a joke.


Oh, absolutely! I could go into detail, but you probably already know everything about this.


Nope. That's the real Stella. 👍


It's like you said in a previous post, I really don't think that they believe in themselves. 🤷♂


As usual... you have Stella to thank for this.


Should we all be expecting an asian-looking AI version of Stella now?


I feel like we were basically saying the same thing.


I agree. Sounds like we're on the same page.


Now give all three long hair.


I've heard of this. I don't think studies like this should be fully trusted, imo. When you put people on the spot like that, they might have a tendency to overthink what they find to be attractive, but attraction is purely instinctual.


There is something very nice about dating an Asian woman.

Lol. No Stella, they aren't all identical. This stereotype is hilarious because alot of asian people actually think the same of white and black people.


👌 Great way to start the weekend. Have fun everyone! 🍻🥳

Lol

A few things:

1. A bitcoin spot ETF is pointless. Any maxi knows this.

2. Personally, I don't think a BTC ETF will ever get approved by them. They're too late in the game and they know it.

3. This is their mentality: "If we can't own the majority, then we can't approve it."


We thought Google hit rock bottom with #privacy.

Its new beta feature on Google Files for #Android called “Smart Search" is the trap door.

This creepy new feature on by default & scans every file on your phone. Why is this bad? Because it could potentially ruin your life. (1/3)

Anybody else coming?

Can't wait for Volcano bonds. I hope to retire in El Salvador in a couple of years.

Westernized countries stubborn and unwilling to change (lose power consolidation) will be last to see the signal.

Places rich in resources, the very same places exploited by the current global establishment will be on top in terms fiscal networking - and have all the resources they would then be able to refine themselves. Global shift coming.

This is uber cool.

Seeing everything that Bukele has been doing makes you realize how rare it is to see well-intentioned world leaders nowadays.


Say what you want, but this is still good progress being made.

Yea, I would never use their exchange. But regardless, this seems like well-intentioned progress being made, more so than by most banks. I can imagine the ECB is not enthused.


That's good to hear. I assumed they might be manufacturing their own or something.


Not sure I would trust receiving a hardware wallet from them. Did they say who's supplying them?

Although, I am glad to hear that they're trying to steer people away from CBDCs. 👍


Too bad we don't need banks to hold bitcoin.


A wise woman is what you are. 👍


The #ECB is going to launch their dystopian #CBDC shitcoin. Act accordingly.

Such magnificent anarchy. 🙏


Lol. No.


Tempted to follow this advice. But, I really do wanna settle down with a good woman at some point. Lol. Anyway... just thinking out loud.


Congrats! Sure it wasn't easy. 👍🥳


Exactly what an imposter would say. 🤔


I fuckin' knew it! 🤣


Lol. I've counted three imposters so far. Are they most likely bots or are people actually impersonating me?


Wish I could disagree.


Ooohhhh!!! This is what I get for ignoring social media for so long. Man, I feel dumb. 🤷♂


A fair point. But, almost all ETFs go completely downhill eventually.


Yea, I know. But, you said it helps to have a wallet with my handle. It's jman@getalby.com

Wait, am I missing something?


No harm in disclosing it at this point. My real name is John.


Yep


ETFs are a thing of the past.


I already have a wallet with my handle.


😥 Don't worry about me, people. I'll be fine.

There are quite a few fake Gary Busey accounts now. Does that make me indirectly verified?


Lol. Who is this trancel you're referring to?


Without a doubt one of the funniest posts I've ever seen.


Cheers to that! 🥃🍻 Life is short, my dude! Always make good use of the weekend! 😎


This whole global mess that we're in reminds me of a prediction made by one of the most brilliant minds who ever lived.

"The loss of life will become smaller and smaller, and finally, the number of the individuals continuously diminishing, merely machines will meet in a contest without blood shed, the nations being simply interested, ambitious spectators. When this happy condition is realized, peace will be assured."

Nikola Tesla


Sad but true. Doesn't it strike anyone as strange that whenever society places people into positions of power, they more often than not end up doing more harm than good?


I prefer brown, but either works. 👍😎


I have a suggestion. Just came up with it. 👍

Two shots of tequila, some lime juice, a pinch of brown sugar, and some salt.


Lol. Nah, dude. You aren't. Trust me on that. 😏


Good to see manners still exist.

How would I properly address bots? There's this bot that goes by the username nostr:npub1qfkcklnmes45z75y7y8dkud5yll8vp5eq5ysk9rmgqdxeasv8unsrfj6kq that keeps stirring up trouble. 🤷♂


Hey hey hey! C'mon now! At least say PLEASE Gfy. 👍😉


Some day soon, we’re all going to have to just guess what’s happening in the world based on life experience.

Because AI will produce news stories, sources and video evidence to justify any dumbshit the state wants to do that week.

Actually, that day may already be here.


A man of wisdom is what you are. 👏


You're welcome. 👍 Is Stella finally trending?


I think that was half the reason. Influence is the main reason, I believe. But, that isn't going well either.


Idk why people think he's some kind of business savant. I've never seen someone burn through so much cash in just two years.


Sabotaging Tesla, as well.


I'm my day dreams Elon Musk is control sabotaging Twitter while Nostr is being built and slowly onboarding people by showing them the better option to the digital dumpster fire that they currently inhabit.


Lol. It won't help ya trend. ☹


😂 Keep it up. You're doin' great!


Lol. Silver tongued charmer you are. Man, you must be such a delight in person. 👍


In all seriousness, what did you say? 😅


"Whiny Asshole" should be a new option when reporting someone. Thoughts?


Whether or not it matters seems subjective at this point in time.


This isn't true...

Is it?


Still not trending, huh?


I can't not find this topic hilarious.


Where can you see the list of people who have you muted?


Just thinkin' out loud.


I know what you meant. Lol. I got sidetracked again. 😏


Ecactly! I still can't fully comprehend why people take the amount of followers they have so damn seriously. 😅 Yo peeps, they're strangers!


We don't need centralized moderation to suppress people or speech that is morally atrocious.  Societies are always self-correcting; the bad actors are ostracized when people realize they are bad, and thus there is a high cost to moral depravity in a healthy society.

Perhaps we've grown unused to that process due to the central control of social media.


Very true. Can't believe I missed that. My uncles house actually has a fairly large deposit of clean water sitting right underneath it. He's gotten plenty of offers due to that particular reason.


No doubt. But, in the end it almost always boils down to how much the property can be sold for. Sure, they're not very fungible, like Stella said. But that fact just adds to its value over time and, imo, gives people more of an incentive to sell it.


I'm not sure I've ever seen a stock collapse this fast. Though, I'm not surprised. Tesla has been overpriced for years.

https://image.nostr.build/196d0324183dd69ac1aa8c7c2d5e86580f6e8f3885c03d65a567feaf8daec687.jpg


Hhhmmmm. I'm not so sure about most. Many? Yea, definitely. But, I've seen too many mixed-race people and couples to believe that matters anywhere near as much as it used to.


My generation and Gen Z definitely seem to hold different views on this.


And?

It doesn't matter all that much. The following generations will always need capital at some point. And land will always have value. 🤷♂ It is what it is.


Nah. He's a stay-at-home dad. He sold a bit awhile ago, but his wife does the work. Nothing strenuous, of course. Lucky them! They're only 39. Lol!


*hodling


I know someone who's been hidling since 2013! Imagine how big his pockets are. 👀💰💰💰


An interesting perspective.


No one's building them anymore because fewer people nowadays earn enough capital to aquire the overpriced resources that are needed to build the home.


Lol. The living situation is not all that different over here. Trust me.


I don't think it will have a detrimental effect. Knock down one generational home to build or buy another. 🤷♂


Yea, but, as you know, price isn't a significant issue for those who will inherit. Lol. I know it ain't for me. I didn't pay a penny for that land! 👍😜


So, nostr social media clients are basically more honest versions of centralized social media platforms?


Right here ✋


Buddy, you just proved my point even further. 👍


Before I say anything, I would like to grant some context before I explain further. I've never actively used social media until Amethyst came along, so my opinion may be invalid.

Personally, I think nostrs decreasing retention rate is an indication of a different issue... or perhaps solution, depending on you perspective: the decrease in retention rate may seem like a problem in terms of user numbers but can also be viewed as the possibility that many may be beginning to realize that their overuse of social media has become an addiction and not a solution to anything.

Honestly, much of the content that I've seen on Nostr can be VERY disturbing. Social media has clearly taken a HUGE mental toll on people, especially heavy users. I don't see how a Nostr-based TikTok will help anyone. Everyone should take a break from social media! Just saying! 🤷♂


In terms of monetary value, the asset would begin to lose value more quickly than usual. In terms of usability, less would be utilizing it.


Lol. I'm not sure if we're specifically referring to monetary systems or networks anymore, but this applies to both: a network of any kind that has wide reach gains usability and influence but not necessarily value.


I have to agree with the captain on this one.

Organically grown networks seem to make more progress due to the lack of centralized interference. Broader levels of availability are capable of being accessed to a wider population. Whereas centralized networks (Twitter, Instagram, YouTube etc.) seem to stagnate when they reach a certain growth point.


Those are fair points. Care to clarify a little bit on how you think it would be beneficial? I was just thinking in terms of exposure. Lol. Would make for a great ad campaign for Bitcoin.


No. Why would I want to pay institutions like Fidelity or Blackrock a management fee when I could just buy Bitcoin directly and hold it myself? Doesn't make much sense, does it?

Even if Bitcoin isn't made legal tender, I still have full control over my holdings AND profit. Although I never intend on selling, Bitcoin still creates a win-win scenario for it's Hodlers.


Lol! Please... no more social media clients! 🙄😮💨

At first, I assumed they were satellites, but I've never heard of a satellite being able to move that fast and being able to stop so abruptly and change course. This is the main reason why I can't bring myself to believe in any religion. Even after reading the Bible, I still can't understand why people would choose to follow such beliefs. 🤷♂


Appreciate the recommendation. Tbh, I probably won't look into this. 🤷♂


No doubt. They both did the same thing: moved around random trajectories for about a minute or so and then faded away in just a few seconds. They must have been moving fast as hell, though, because they were far away.

Preferably something biology related. But, all suggestions are welcome. 👍

🙄 this again?!


Man, do I have terrible timing! Right in the middle of cooking breakfast. 😅


Lol. You're right.


😅 I get it... I should've gave notice that I was leaving for ten days. I apologize.


Ya had to punish me...


Maybe I shouldn't take a break from nostr.


Goddamn... 👀


I always wondered what it would feel like to be bored to death.


Tiddies trending yet? 😂


😅 Alright. Well, whatever you're goin' through, best of luck. 👍


Fair enough.


So, you just want attention but you DO care how? 😂 I see.


😏 How's Stella feelin' today?! Everything good?!


😂 ... Stella just wants attention. She don't care how she gets it. 😉


What? Lol


Chill with the language.

Aaahhh, Stella! 🙄😏 And you wonder why your stuff never trends. You're destroying your own rep.


As Satoshi said...

"If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry."


Nostr gave us the freedom we've longed for. Don't let toxic human nature become the reason for it's demise.

If that happens then there was no point in any of you leaving centralized platforms to begin with.


Alotta people left centralized social media to escape that behavior, but instead ended up bringing it here. Ironic, no?


Friend of mine (also a fellow bitcoiner) introduced me.


You guys would know better than me. Never used either.


You got it.

I've said this way back during my early days on nostr and, of course, it received no attention: nostr, as a protocol, could survive in the long-term, but the social media clients could be affected inversely because the same toxic behavior that was on full display on centralized social media platforms was (and still is) on full display on nostr.

Large nostr accounts have too much influence which, in effect, could create a form of centralization. In the long-term, nostr social media clients may end up destroying themselves. Lol. People need to take their egos down a bit.


Semitrue. The issue is that the most monotonous accounts get the most attention. Most aren't willing, capable, or interested in engaging in in-depth debates or discussions.


Are the people who have you muted popular accounts?


How many people have you muted?


It's kinda fascinating. Those two boosts made my follower count jump from the 610s to over 700 in less than a week.


Actually, this explains something I noticed about four or five days ago. I didn't think much of it, but when those statements that I made almost a week ago about how people should take a break from social media every now and then, and the one where I mentioned that attention-seeking behavior and drama addiction seemed like a problem got boosted, my follower count jumped like crazy. 🤔


For weeks?! 🤨 LOL!!!


Lol. Goddamn, social media's strange. 🤔


Amethyst keeps unfollowing you and a few other people for some reason. Not sure why. Don't worry. I always follow back. 😏😮💨


Why would I trend?


Nah, girl! You lyin'! 🤔


Lol. It's not a big deal. Attention from strangers isn't important.


Meh. Not important.


Wait... I trend?


LOL. Like nostr:npub1cdak4q4f3h3k3sgyh0rd5dj4w8k95f3mquzh6z3ew76vqkh60e3slyczgz said, don't sweat it. You don't find it somewhat superficial that developers and bitcoin celebs are the only ones that trend?


Weird autistic people rule the world. Let that sink in. 😉


It's a big world. It'd be foolish not to try and see as much as we can. 👍

Its not too common but its quite annoying when it occurs.

What you're describing is not a good apprroach. No one's saying how wrong everyone is. This is merely constructive criticism. A good thing. This is how nostr will make more progress. But, too much engagement is taking place on the social media clients, imo. nostr:npub1cmmswlckn82se7f2jeftl6ll4szlc6zzh8hrjyyfm9vm3t2afr7svqlr6f for example has made a great client which really doesn't seem like it's getting the attention it deserves.


Same! Lol!


I'm glad this post is getting a good amount of attention. I've been saying for months that nostr is boring. Crickets every time! It's actually gotten worse. There was even a two month or so period where I stopped using nostr entirely. I've made posts about a variety of topics like physics, biology, real estate etc. Again nothing. Tbh, I kinda just gave up. People only seem interested in posting stupid memes and writing bitcoin fixes this or that. But, don't repeat this shit for ten months straight!


Bitcoin fixes everything.
Nostr fixes this.
Here's a link to a podcast about how Bitcoin fixes everything.
Here's bitcoin news.
Did you know, that Bitcoin fixes everything?
Twitter sucks. Nostr fixes this.
Gm Nostr.
Gn nostr.
Bitcoin, Nostr, Bitcon, Nostr.
Nostr Nostr Nostr Nostr.

Are you still with me?


Agreed. Look, I like the fact that Nostr works and that anyone who has the necessary skills can build their own client, but there are a variety of great clients that aren't being utilized enough and aren't getting enough attention. Nostr could be much bigger. Some kind of advertising scheme would be great, imo. I don't just mean Bitcoin and Nostr conferences.


Lol. Not unless those cancer sticks kill ya. 🤷♂


After several months of gathering feedback and additional testing, Greenlight is now officially available for commercial-grade use worldwide.

Greenlight is a Lightning-as-a-Service (LaaS) solution that offloads the complexities of operating a Lightning node to Blockstream experts while keeping keys in the user's control for greater security.

https://image.nostr.build/e530aac4e34748b7c5c22527b691e8ec289cd572cc8edd985f4d99f2827bd511.png

For Lightning developers, this not only reduces the risk and liability of holding user funds but frees up resources that would otherwise go to node operations—so that you can focus on your business and create the best app possible.

In the spirit of #Bitcoin and to encourage the growth of the non-custodial Lightning options, we are offering a free #Greenlight plan designed to empower small businesses. The plan allows developers to deploy up to 1,000 on-demand nodes.

For enterprises with higher volumes, we offer custom pricing plans that expand the node limits and provide uptime and availability guarantees.

Why what?


No. Tbh, it never has. I've seen UFOs on two occasions. So, it's hard for me to believe in God. 🙄


*younger version


I don't care about repenting or whatever. You're talking to an atheist. Tbh, I feel like you're talkin' to a slightly older version of yourself in a way. Just a different generation, is all. Don't play the God card. It won't work.


Dude, what makes this even worse is that this type of mentality is branching out into older generations now, too!   People aren't even sure what gender they are amymore.


Aaahhhh! Couldn't agree more. That's infected this newest generation like a plague. No bullshit!


"If they accomplished that?" Care to clarify?


I gotta admit. It's really fuckin' refreshing being able to have a blunt conversation with someone and not having to worry about hurting their feelings. 🙄


Only bitch made men see genuine confidence as a negative. You are brutally honest! But, that's a respectable quality.


And I wish that were the case with most women. But, too many in my generation and this newest one are so damn broke that that's all they give a shit about. 🤷♂


Lol. Bruh, you act like I want this! You and Stella had the luck of being born in the right generation at the right time. And I'm happy for both of you. I am. I don't mean for that to sound like an excuse of sorts. But, reality is what it is. 🤷♂


Yea, you right.

Dog is probably a better choice.


The moment they catch even the smallest whiff of some wealth it becomes all about that.


I won't deny it. It's fun talkin' to ya. You have any idea how hard it would be to find a woman who would be willing to engage in in-depth discussions like these? Too many toxic females on the dating scene nowadays. It be true!


Alotta bad experiences.


Dude, I stopped lookin' at the gym awhile ago. Learned the hard way. What kind of woman?! No idea. Not yet, anyway.


Workin' on the cooking. Needs work. Lol. Nah, I don't play five instruments.


Lol. As am I! 😎


Appreciate the input. I really do. 👍 I can't help but wonder what you and Stella would make of the current dating scene if you two were single. I don't mean dating apps. I tried them VERY briefly and they're just terrible. I mean face to face interaction. It can be extraordinarily difficult to make a connection in any way. Feels very shallow nowadays.


FYI, I never took this as an attack or anything. No worries. 👍


Gave up, huh?


Lol! I didn't mean to make ya pull over. But, I get what you're sayin'. I just figured cats wouldn't be as needy as dogs, and they don't seem to be. I see what you're getting at, though: dogs are better company.


Pubs have become VERY boring, man. You're spot on with that. Ego has gotten out of control. Takes all the fun out of it.


I'm more of a cat person.


I finally understand why ya need all the coffee and cigarettes. 👍


That seems like one of the best aspects of being happily married: always having someone to talk to and vent to. I won't lie; it can get a bit lonely sometimes being a single 32-year-old who lives on his own.


For real, though. Boy or girl? Or do ya not know, yet?

Well, I like potatoes...

Can't wait to see how this will turn out. 🍿🍿🍿


No, bitcoin was undoubtedly some type of global inititiative. Hal Finney received the first transaction and Hashcash is mentioned quite a bit in the whitepaper. This would mean that Adam Back definitely had something to do with it. Who knows who else was involved? 🤷♂ We'll never know.


He wasn't implying that everyone, everywhere came up with it. And as for the possibility of someone else coming up with the same idea or ideas... let's use the U.S. dollar as a basis for the creation of bitcoin. Of course it would be best to use for foundational purposes due to it's usage as the global reserve currency. This fact would help give bitcoin the initial influence it needed to get off its feet. It doesn't mean that the creator or creators of bitcoin did not take into consideration the faults with other monetary systems. The same level of consideration was undoubtedly used for the creation of nostr.


Lol. No, I'm not missing anything. We seem to be on the same page, for the most part.


Which is why nostr has been beginning to branch out with a variety of clients to serve different purposes. Give it time. The issues with global monetary systems are not reserved to the U.S. dollar system or the Yuan.


Not necessarily. Hhhmmm... nostr and bitcoin just seem like byproducts of all the faults produced by global monetary systems and centralized social media platforms, imo.


As a first time social media user, I appreciate this input. A great perspective. 👌


In the short term, sure. But there is no algo here, only people. If you're trying to game the system, eventually people will see through it on here. There is no algo to trick. Only real people tapping on a screen (and ok a couple ai bots too). You're not gaming the system, you're gaming the plebs. And people tend not to appreciate that.

If people get annoyed that you're only boosting notes they've already seen 20 times in the past five minutes and nothing else, they'll just mute or unfollow you.

If you're bringing exposure for others and helping people find high quality notes they wouldn't otherwise see, then hell yeah people will be eager to engage with you.

Value for value.

You can choose to farm engagement or make real connections with people. Twitter conditioned us to please the algo. Nostr reintroduces human to human interaction.


I know it's you Stella... 😐

Sovereignty: freedom from external control a.k.a. autonomy

Being a slave to your social media addiction, or any addiction, is NOT sovereignty. 💯 Making excuses for such addictions only proves my point even further.

Once again, to whoever reads this, take a week or two away from nostr and social media every now and then. The amount of stress you relieve yourself of is unreal. 👌 Best of luck to everyone.


Lol. You know who I mean.


Tbh, this statement reminds of our discussion from last night. I take it that you probably know which one I'm referring to. There's so much erratic behavior and instability I've witnessed on here. People have become addicted to receiving attention. This behavior almost always leads to some form of depression as I understand it. This behavior was on full display last night from a certain someone (lol you know who I'm talking about). And this person just kept making excuses for this addiction. Apparently we need to keep using nostr, in an addictive fashion, to spread it's influence. 😑 lol. Taking a vacation apparently means I've abandoned someone. Personally, I feel as if using nostr as a means to help rid people of their social media addiction would be a much better use case.


Interesting. How heavy was censorship on reddit?


Yep. Also, this bullshit narrative that has been created by these EV companies, claiming that they are better for the environment, is also a lie. A significant amount of the machinery used in the production of these vehicles runs on coal. 😅😏


If this is true I wouldn't be surprised that they're losing this much per vehicle.


Was just looking at their website. Their cars are way overpriced.


Nice looking car... but it ain't worth that much.


Really random, but I wish I had served in a war. My grandpa served throughout the Korean War, and as proud as he was, I could always tell that he would never want to fight again. He never explained why. 🤔


Honestly, I can't stand this guy. To me he just seems like another Dr. Phil type person. He puts on a good act.


The internet will never impact society in any meaningful way.


What exactly did you find useful about reddit? Like what characteristics drew you to that platform and not others?

Lol. I'm still breathing, btw.

Lol. I'm flattered. 👍 Just... relax. I'll be sure to give notice next time.


Relaaaax girl! 🫂 Everyone needs some private time. That's all!


"people who give a damn"? I just said in my previous comment that I find this behavior worrisome. Lol. I would say that that means I give a damn.


Ok... I was only gone for ten days! What point are you trying to make? I'm just saying that TAKING A BREAK FROM SOCIAL MEDIA is good for one's mental health!


I mean, that's fine. You could have. I'm not trying to force anyone to follow me on here. I don't want anyone knowing everything about my social life. Lol. I took a vacation. I'm just saying that taking a break from social media every now and then can undoubtedly be good for one's mental health. I'm not going to throw out names or anything, but based solely on observation, there are certainly an abundance of users who display fairly severe levels of anxiety, narcissistic tendencies, and other issues. Personally, since Nostr is my first time actively using social media, these behaviors seem quite blatant to me. I find it a bit worrisome, that's all.


*not too long ago


My ten day vacation that I took not too long made me realize this. 👌 Give yourselves a break people. 🙏


Gotta be blunt about this because I find it kind of disturbing. Attention-seeking behavior and drama addiction seems to be a BIG problem on here. Just saying. 👀🤔 Take a break from Nostr. It's quite refreshing.


So... it seems to me that people are just having some trouble adjusting to the neutrality of Nostr-based social media clients. Is that correct?


I wasn't either, man. I've been here for around 8 months maybe. It still feels kinda foreign to me.


What kind of posts or interactions would cause someone to blocked or whatever on Twitter?


Are they saying it's boring or are they saying that they never needed to use social media as often as they did? 🧐


Correct me if I'm wrong, but these algos almost always had the main objective to create hostility between these diverse communities as a means to generate interaction?


I have two questions:

1. How did the communities who supported each counter-narrative often interact with one another?

2. How did Twitter's censorship often affect their interaction?


It sounds like a very effective method to create certain social narratives. Am I correct?


Ok. Thanks. I've never used Twitter so you'll have to excuse me.


This may sound like a stupid question, but what does shadowban mean?


Fuckin' bring it! I've been ready for the past three years!

“America was founded by men who understood that the threat of domestic tyranny is as great as any threat from abroad.

Otherwise, our own government will become a greater threat to our freedoms than any foreign terrorist.” - Ron Paul


This can't be real. Is it?

What makes this whole situation even worse is that people know what's currently going on. They truly don't care, man! Human laziness on full display and at it's most toxic levels.

Correct. You would think that the increase in riots, poisoned tap water, immigration issues, tax increases, and price raises would be enough, but people really don't give a shit. 🤷♂


Personally, I think people sometimes involuntarily react this way as a means to convince themselves that they're not the ones creating the negative energy. Kinda cowardly when you think about it. 😏

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

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