Alright, thank you that does make sense. Appreciate the insight.
Yeah I could see how given it is relatively easy to fake in a completely open dataset that this would trend to useless.
I really like the “how many hops” filter. Your model is much harder to game. I wonder if that could be combined with my proposed filter so I could find out what my rich friends think vs everyone else lol- but maybe just discrete # of zaps is enough in your framework.
Your model also incentivizes authentic networking if you’re seeking a broader more useful dataset. Which is dope- though I worry if people will actually do that en masse. Maybe the current incentive system is what’s got me jaded on that front, so I’ll remain hopeful for your model and participate accordingly.


This is a good point- I think that’s a useful filter too but I wonder if that wouldn’t create echo chambers. (FTR I literally self donated as a test on this post 😅.)
Do you not think number of discrete zaps under a limit would get us useful broad community info outside our friend bubbles? Self donations would be tough in that frame since I would need a large number of wallets/npubs under my control- or am I naive in thinking this isn’t easy?


I imagine they don’t know any better, but they’re probably doing their best to live a life that was sold to them and/or feed a family in most cases. I do hope they can see the wave in time and find purpose and prosperity in the new world with us!


I love the #nostr protocol and the tech being built on it. The future is exciting.

Nothing’s perfect though. I’m struggling NOT to see a plutocracy forming around content zapped by big players. I know their intentions are good, but when a fat #zap bumps a post to the top automatically are we really getting the voice of the community on our feeds?

I wonder if a filter option like this for a #nostr client makes sense: prioritize by number of zaps under x value, perhaps with a sliding scale so you can make judgements for yourself about how different tiers of #btc wealth value something. You still get the skin in the game aspect of zaps which is way better than the “likes” noise, but might be able to skim off the natural plutocratic effects.

Thoughtful discussion appreciated! Cheers.


It’s been said plenty… but after a trip to a tradfi bank I feel like saying it again anyway: once you see the #ecash / #lightning / #bitcoin stack as the cash / institution / final settlement layers you really can’t unsee it. This potential of this tech is unbelievable and it doesn’t need centralized marketing to inspire people to build on it… you just feel it and are called to it if you are lucky enough to see it


It’s for everyone. Point finale.

Tip for nostr apps:

Nostr has a super power, generating an "account" is as simple as generating a private key.

The first time user experience can therefore be **fully automated**!

This is a MASSIVE UX win, we take the initials user journey from 5 clicks for username, password, email etc, and we reduce it to 0 (!!!!) clicks.

User lands on the website, and EVERYTHING JUST WORKS. Initially with a "guest account", but later the user can either add metadata to this new key, log in with an existing nsec or nsecbunker, or add a new nsecbunker setup with another provider.

We can therefore delay the nuances and complexities of account generation to an arbitrary point later in the user journey.

When you have an open, public social graph and the ability to filter spam, the incentives change to the point where the advertising industry gets fixed.

Yes, advertising will still be a thing, but you won't be forced to watch ads because you can't be captured.

Companies that optimize for attention will be disrupted by those that optimize for value.


I regularly attend Pride events with my bi wife and friends. You tend to see things like that there (especially the West Hollywood one). Recommend people who’ve never been to check it out and get a “boots on the ground” perspective- even if it might cause discomfort. I’m certain you’d see the ridiculousness of claims that the movement has been co-opted by some evil cabal or is some kind of psy-op. It’s largely people celebrating being free from oppression and expressing themselves among people who’ve had a similar experience… something which the BTC community should aspire to celebrate in their own way one day.

GTA Dubai, the movie


The broad crypto industry rallied hard soon after the White House threatened to veto the bill that would let banks custody digital assets. And now it’s making a big difference, with Congress voting strongly for it, the White House pulling their veto threat, etc.

While it’s right to pass that bill and let banks custody them if they want, it’s sad to see that the crypto industry response to that was like 100x bigger than the response to all of the anti-privacy stuff that has been happening.

The desire of people in the industry for banks to help pump their bags is way bigger than their desire to pave a way for freedom tech in general.

Much love to all those building and supporting real freedom tech.

When I talk about digital privacy, there is always some smug genius who shrugs and tells me, "Who cares? We all know we don't have any privacy anyway." Nothing could be more wrong. Convincing you that the fight is already over to the way people in power get you to stop resisting.


I know that at times like these, jpgs in blocks, insane tx fees, force closures of channels etc, we can get quite easily upset even angry. However, we have to remember that we're our own banks and that you alone are responsible to manage and protect your coins.

This includes accounting for economic events, staying on top of protocol changes and by acting accordingly to minimalize negative impact on your holdings or even prevent any kind of financial loss. This may include closing channels only to open them again a few days later. It may include not transacting on the main-net for several days and it also includes managing your wallets when the cost to do so is in your favour.

If you had a channel force closed or you've been affected in any other way then take it as a viable lesson learned, don't forget about it and consider how to "fix leaks" in how you're managing your wealth as a private bank, your bank.

I'm not saying this to bash on anyone but to make you realise that there will always be economic events affecting Bitcoin in one way or another and you always have to remain vigilant and pay attention to reduce any negative impact such an event can have on your own stack.

Exactly. And the pools of capital that fit into the “dense” category are vast- for now. Though gold is a much more liquid market, and doesn’t likely have near the upside of BTC.


It’s possible gold has a run here too. At the nation state level it will remain important for the time being as many major economies won’t take Bitcoin as seriously as they should. Check out Doomberg’s recent material on the topic.

Hal finney interpreted satoshis mission as a return to open banking.
As it stands now there are only a few banks that are backed by promises and collude with each other like a mafia.   Having thousands of banks that can operate truly independently of each other, and that are accountable to the free market of choice due to self custody of a bearer asset instead of a promise, would change the world in ways we can't imagine.

It's my opinion these banks will interact with each other over lightning or some method of secure global transmission, kind of like fed wire today.

Most customers of these banks I think will use ecash denominated in sats to show their relevant worth to the base money.  This comes with its challenges and benefits, and I'm not saying this is ideal, but I believe it's what will happen given human nature.

I think there is a real need for individuals with strong autonomy and a solid WOT in their community to run these banks/mints.


I agree this has to happen on layer 2. No way everyone is holding base layer.

There’s no problem with having credit and fractional reserve banking in my mind- parallel to a BTC system. Risk is necessary for investment and growth and credit is our way to speculate on the future. Also, if fractional reserve banking keeps fees low then people will take risks and use it.

The issue is the bailouts with non-existent money to banks that are so big they are systematically important. Having an effective BTC transactional layer prevents over-centralization and keeps banks small, specialized and local- as they should be.


You mean that didn’t earn you some phone numbers??


Good time to find the $GALA tokens …


Totally, exactly why it needs to be in more hands at all times. Lengthen the time preference of everyone who touches it. More thoughtfulness behind spending.


If small amounts are usable for day to day living… or better if these small amounts become superior for easily accessing daily needs… then the “cash” (or sats) in their wallets/under their mattresses becomes a valuable savings asset as well, giving the option (to those who realize it) to hold onto slightly more than they spend since it will be worth more tomorrow than yesterday. Rather than something that is worth less tomorrow and every day after. I suppose this would be my long winded way of saying if BTC can become THE medium of exchange as well as a reserve asset, it will lengthen the time preference of far more people than if it is just a reserve asset for those who already can access cash, cheap credit, etc.


Amen ! Lol


Most people don’t have savings they can hold in BTC and still live their day to day lives. They’re captured by the welfare state and/or the fiat debt system in some shape or form. Why would they be interested in BTC if it’s just a store of value they can’t access? What power do they have in a fiat printing / BTC reserve system? If it’s just a reserve for early adopters and rich people we haven’t done shit to free people - all we would have done is been shifted masters to different asset holders… and not shifted all that much (Larry Fink for example).

To me it means living every day realizing you have something to learn from everyone and everything around you.

Then the hard part comes once you think you’ve learned something, maybe even having some folks think you’re wise, and still letting yourself have that realization again and again and again…

Very hard to truly do this day in day out… Moment by moment. Especially once you have some responsibility and maybe even some expertise in some specific domain.

It’s not just that… lots of folks largest account is their IRA which generally don’t allow holding BTC directly. Yes they want the exposure- they might also even WANT to hold their own keys, but the barrier is not just responsibility… it’s the huge procedural headache and the TIME is takes to get your IRA funds to someone like Unchained and set up a multi-sig vault. I’m going through it right now… meanwhile the price is rocketing. Luckily, I’m hedging price movement during the transfer with the remainder of my account (which I can actually easily do using these p.o.s. ETFs)- but most people cannot or will not think to do that. From start to finish it takes WEEKS to move these funds with all the bullshit forms and 2+ business day admin steps. Meanwhile, in a couple of clicks or a phone call they can buy the ETF. The level of commitment it takes to not just say “fuck it” requires someone to be truly, deeply, and ideologically orange pilled. This is not most people.

IRAs are a huge market… people check into these accounts very infrequently… the ETFs got approved basically yesterday in the grand scheme of things… we’re only getting started with boomer allocations- most will hear about the new all time high this week and make note to make the initial exploratory call to their broker, then set up a meeting when it’s convenient for them… slow and methodical like turning a fucking oil tanker… and yet they will turn

The flow has only just begun. Buckle the fuck up.


The shit disturber in me wants to believe that they are recommending 85% allocation but this isn’t what they are saying. Careful with selective headline journalism mon ami, we can be better than that.

Besides, if you’re gonna go that route let’s go full out and put the headline as: “BLACKROCK RECOMMENDS 107% LEVERED BTC POSITON— LFG!!”

Friends, we must realize that retirement accounts restrict what you can own. Very limited options to hold your own keys in an IRA are out there, but require a transfer process which can be daunting. Going through it as we speak- but I realize not many will be willing to do what I do… so the market is there for the ETFs until we make IRAs that allow you to hold your own keys more commonplace.

Even non-ETF custodial options tend to come with high fees… higher than Blackrock et al.

We need more trusted hold your own keys IRA options (like Unchained is doing) to solve this.

Fuck that cleric up 🔥


Comparing the taxes in the 60s to now needs a bit more context than your list unfortunately…

From https://www.wolterskluwer.com/en/expert-insights/whole-ball-of-tax-historical-income-tax-rates
“The top individual marginal income tax rate tended to increase over time through the early 1960s, with some additional bumps during war years. The top income tax rate reached above 90% from 1944 through 1963, peaking in 1944, when top taxpayers paid an income tax rate of 94% on their taxable income. Starting in 1964, a period of income tax rate decline began, ending in 1987. From 1987 to the present, the top income tax rate has been fluctuating in the 30% - 40% range.”

So while there were a lot of different taxes introduced, what’s interesting is it seems there was actually loose agreement and some transparency on who should pay the majority of the taxes coming out of WW2 era. This has since eroded… Now the tactic to fund government seems to be print money and introduce piecemeal taxes like you display- which has obviously severely distorted wealth distribution to the top, by taxing and inflating away those who can least afford it… while simultaneously incentivizing crony capitalism in lieu of real capitalism.


Dig it.


Reminder:
https://image.nostr.build/1fe55f06ce1e5240a46503f444455b265831d55c8278ea43ae49f4040866e21c.jpg

‘Fresh brewed’ coffee is a psyop.

You want your coffee ‘fresh roasted.’

Some of these seed words are bangers.


Why would G20 follow? Like specifically the US, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, African Union… that leap makes no sense to me


Luckily we currently have the built-in “feature” of price inelasticity that will prevent Blackrock et al from gathering too much supply without exploding the price.  I see it like an immune function for BTC the asset. ETF issuers also have contractual obligations that somewhat prevent them from acting out.

Is the network itself (ie miners and nodes) at risk? Doubtful.

FWIW I’ve got more hope in the common sense of the community… and even Blackrock itself… a fork like that would destroy the value of the asset and therefore the associated fees. The only people left would be NGU folks / basically those interested in selling for profit in some other currency. In essence a disastrous rush for the exits for all remaining involved.

RIP Alexei Navalny.

The US/UK should free Assange, free Ulbricht, pardon Snowden, and double-down on freedom as a contrast. They won't, but they should.

Russia is way more politically controlled and censored than their western counterparts, but if the western counterparts were smart they would emphasize this fact rather than lean more into being even half-like Russia.

Thought experiment: what would have happened if we somehow were forced to be on a true, easily settled and sovereign hard money standard like #bitcoin after WW2? (Imagine #bitcoin somehow existed, never mind that whole internet thing)
Where would our productivity gains and wealth gone instead of where it did go? Would we have been richer? Would there have been more actual peace? Would we be less divided?
The story is that the US was a stabilizing force on the world. I believe that- and it’s not my intent to debate it. The point of the thought experiment is to play out the known innovation and wealth creation that DID happen but under a different monetary background.
(Don’t go all Taleb on me either- I know this is impossible to play out realistically… this is for the imagination)

Worth watching, Tucker definitely gets dominated, and Putin is clearly the superior intellect… but I mean the man is sitting in a gangster’s house totally vulnerable so not sure how many people would do that much better. He gets a few decent questions in but wish it was someone smarter than Tucker who could make more nuanced arguments (especially about economics) and have a historical and cultural dialog instead of being lectured while trying cheap attempts at “gotcha”ing with his habits developed at Fox (which Putin sidesteps calmly every. single. time.). IMO still worth it though to learn about Putin’s stated motives and really understand that we are dealing with a smart, stubborn(principled?) gangster so maybe we think twice before electing a warmongering geriatric or a reality tv show host to represent our side.
…Oh and I’m sure this community would appreciate your take on what was presented by Putin 😉

Go deeper. The obstacle is the way.


Haha been a minute since I listened to this 🔥😅


Hard to measure economic impact or efficiency of debt growth. It probably has some net growth effect assuming it wasn’t 100% destructively invested- but how much?
I’m sure someone has a chart somewhere to show GDP growth overlaid on money supply growth or debt growth over time, but not sure how much that actually tells us… parallels to returns minus inflation but more complex since we’re talking about a whole country (or maybe multiple countries, since the question didn’t specify)

Thank you brother will zap you back this weekend once I figure this out


Ah my bad I wasn’t clear. I can send through app. I’m trying to set up to Zap through Nostr and can’t seem to link them


Definitely. Are there guides out there to set up the outbound on mobile? It doesn’t seem to accept any of the inputs when I connect a sending wallet. Right now I can use a different wallet for sending (Mutiny). I guess that works fine? Kind of a pain to manage multiple wallets liquidity but not terrible once set up I guess.

Side note: probably screwing myself a little by doing this all on mobile.


It looks like I have Zeus set up for receiving. Any way I can connect for sending as well? Doesn’t seem to work in Damus.


Obviously I need to finish it lol! Interesting, thanks for the heads up


It’s tough. Part of me can hear the frustration of trying to deal like with a nation that has no consistency or trustworthiness (in his eyes, and according to him). Like, if a single person acted like the US supposedly did- you might call them bipolar… AND YET is this not somewhat how an amorphous blob of a free-ish democracy will naturally function? Is it a huge cultural divide between someone who feels a leader should set the clear direction and objectives of a nation and a nation that values the influence of the populace (however corrupt and mal incentivized)?

“You are more than the shitcoin degen you have become” https://image.nostr.build/3801326a2f60719766132f499a3b47c3d1b65eed7a1392e6a1097c88bbf852b9.jpg


Open Source is the secret of my success. Every great opportunity I've ever had was the result of Open Source. I skipped all the job interviews. I contributed patches and they hired me on the spot. I built open source and they found me. Without it, I would be just a regular man with precious ideas. Ideas aren't precious, no matter how good they are. Even the best creations aren't precious on their own. You could die an unknown Shakespeare. OPPORTUNITIES are precious. Open Source maximizes opportunities. People are resistant to it because they're afraid. Their heads are full of doubts, of tropes like "how will artists make money?" For that reason, brave people are able to benefit from Open Source while fearful people don't. If you want to be a successful software person and you're not already a millionaire, I would highly recommend building Open Source software.

Boom. We’re live
