There are like 8 billion people & only a small fraction of them use nostr & I'm sure only a very small fraction of them ended up disappointing you so far.

Things are fine.  �

 I saw McDichael and I lost it, I was done! 🤣 

 $100k today is not worth what it was on 3Jan09 

 Gambling is the reason with very few exceptions. 

 NGL, Youtube Music *is* the only google service I happily pay for.  I recognized years ago that it seemed to be "smarter" about music choices based on my listening & interactions than spotify etc.  I've tried others over the years since, but that "smartness" still shines through.

 I know a couple couples who sold their stack (or most of it) to supplement their down payments.  I tried... 😔 

 Well yeah, but they sold their bitcoin to buy more house equity, when they really should have borrowed their house to buy more bitcoin. 

 Just remember:  $100k USD in 2009 dollars is like $150k in todays dollars.  No need to get too excited as we pass 100 😉

 I have a much more modest low car & tbh I love sitting (lying?) so low to the ground, it's always exhilirating.

 What exactly is it?  Just a countertop oven? I like cast iron on a grill, or sous vide.  This looks compact & cool though. 

 I haven't gotten many, but I've gotten some.  "The trees & flowers are starting to bloom"  

 I'm happy in the middle, I use a dedicated VM on a host that does run other things.  Most of my stack is in a multisig with 2 airgapped keys anyway, and #sparrow is really good at showing you what's being broadcast. 

 If you work in an office or other physical business, it's dumb to put your home address into an ecommerce site.

Use an email alias, unique password, virtual/prepaid credit card.  On every online purchase �

 Yes.   

 Problem is, unless you work for the US Fed or the Treasury, you're not making money either, you're earning it.  Her response makes total sense if she's a bitcoiner!

 Well for one, that's not really what revolution means � 

 Essentially it's a cyclical rotation, which can be a lens through which political upheaval makes sense, but also a lens to explain the 4 seasons of weather on earth. 

 This is how language is used against us.  The original meaning had nothing to do with violence, or any human facet.  Violence-minded people redefined the word. 

 Self custody is great; self sovereignty is the actual goal. 

 Yep, and if you spend with unnecessary parties watching you, you're not sovereign.  Alby extension is sovereign; alby hub is not. 

 Last I looked, it needed an alby account and had a bunch of phone home logic for LSP that wasn't available to self host, and sacrificed privacy.   

 I didn't know you could use the hub without an alby account.  I'll check it out. 

 Having an account carries risk.  My node key & my npub are my sovereign accounts that I control.  Alby hub on the other hand requires albys website to authenticate their accounts, which for some reason aren't just our npubs. 

 "The more broke they are, the less trouble they're capable of" 😬🤷�♂�

Nevermind that the premise of what's a ponzi here is backwards, this level of blissful ignorance is quite scary 

 The irony is, if you try to tell a normie that the govt & central bank are essentially Charles Ponzi, and bitcoin by design doesn't rely on those, their brains short circuit. 🤷�♂�

We'll get there though, eventually. 

 "Walstrey Jernal" sounds like something out of Idocracy � 

 Sometimes, the "Nazi Bar" just simply makes the best drinks in town 🤷�♂� 

 Fresh grapes?  Fine.
Spoiled grapes?  Fine.
Dried grapes?  HELL NO!

🤣 

 Discount goods based on your preferred payment & let time do the rest.  If something costs $100, accept $90 worth of BTC.  Eventually, you'll have > $100 of purchasing power from that transaction, plus a loyal customer. 

 You missed my point.  Landlords will set a fairer price in BTC than in dollars.  You're still fixing prices in dollars in your head, which is the whole problem.  Savers will know better & compensate. 

 Those employment spikes near the gray recession lines are what we call "employer of last resort" �

 How does #bluesky do it?  #simplex has good notifications but costs a lot of battery to make it work.  

 I was scrolling & waiting for the "rest" of the conversation to show up.

Spoiler:  it wasn't there 😔 

 I know cannabis and hydrocarbons do more good for humans than harm, and they work. If the new things were actually better, prohibition wouldn't be in any way necessary.

Cars, gunpowder, the printing press.. weren't prolific because we successfully banned horses, arrows, and going to church.  The reasons they succeeded are more inherent to the power shift those technologies represent 😉
 

 Heisen-ad.  Doesn't exist while you're observing other things. 

 Get a VPS in Japan � 

 "Backed by faith" is true about every money, but if you honestly ask yourself whether a Dollar or a Bitcoin deserves more faith... it seems like a no-brainer 🤷�♂�

There isn't a perfect money, but maybe there exists an optimal money 😉

 I give no resistance to novel energy technologies.  I do give resistance to charlatans who would demonize traditional, proven energy technologies, as if people don't rely on them to "live well" in the 21st century, which I believe is the real goal.

 If he's approaching soccer through the lens of "how do I create/evolve the rules of the game" he's gonna go far!

There are pawns, and there are players.  Then, there are programmers who control the whole game �

 Almost.  Very nearly. 

 Maybe not.  I assume it's different agent strings coming from the same IP.
