 At what price will Bitcoin change the world? 
 saving = using 
 What happened to Jason King ? 
 Ahhh , I was once in Brazil. In Jericoacoara, windsurfing.  One of my best trips in my life !   Looks quite similar.  
 Hi @jb55 if I want to send someone a DM, I expect to tap on envelope icon, see list of old dm’s, and then see a + sign (make new note) and paste in someone’s npub or nip5. 
But I do not see anything like that.
Do you agree this would be an intuitive ux? 
 But the stupid/inefficient thing is to tax *everybody* and then give free healthcare to *everybody*.  All incentives to spend money wisely is lost.
Only tax the richer folks to support the poorer ones, but no needless circulation of money via tax and handouts to the same ppl.  
 The market has learned: 
Its Bitcoin or Shitcoin. 
No other options.

 Craig Wright is a fraud. 
 Peter Todd is Craig Wright, I just learned !

 Covenants are the path to CENSORSHIP HELL. Govs could declare txs are only  allowed if certain approved addresses are pre-scripted. 
Just say NO to covenants! 

nostr:note1glktzhe22skqvm98h54ezd7evsgwhsws6uv0qfumk7c3elegwpvqdpcar5  
 Totally agree.  If one wants the functionalities covenants could offer, just implement it in a Layer 2, and play covenants game over there. 

But leave our Btc blockchain alone! 
 Device looks similar to my Boot Palma (with e-ink screen) 
 What goes in, must come out..... 
 
The Netherlands has been blocking a European law against online child abuse for years. Not because The Hague is against the approach to abuse, but because experts say it is a bad bill. Under pressure from the Ministry of Justice, that blockade is now in danger of expiring.

 BlackRock now requires Coinbase to deposit #Bitcoin directly on-chain within 12 hours of instruction after concerns were raised it was selling "paper BTC" to ETFs.

 This looks very dangerous, sorry to say. My wife had a tiny cut in the palm of her hand when peeling an apple, and it got swollen like yours, she was directed to emergency dept of the hospital , the immediatly operated (cut open 2 inches in zig zag pattern), she ended up staying in hospital bed for 3 days!  Watch out. I think it was called cangrene. 
 Yes, it ended well, luckily.  But doctors said if she had waited a few hours more.....

 Etherium is not going to collapse most likely.

It will die from a slower oxygen deprevention.

 https://m.primal.net/Kntp.jpg  Is some disinformation actually true ?  If not, why do we need the term Disinformation? 
 It would be great if we had in Nostr a live stream chat like the comments side bar in YouTube, so we could yell to Apple and each other during the livestream, for example. 
 autoscroll chat, I mean 
 The sale of concerts tickets can be left completely to the market.  No gov intervention nor protection necessary.

 I love Primal, how it helps in discovery.

Request: I would love to see an Algo/filter like 
  Trending 24hr in <German>
or any other language of course.
(Don't know how difficult/burdensome it is to perform language detection on each note)
@miljan 
 Καλημέρα !

 Is anyone building this yet? 
90% of internet users only read and never post.

 Hurry !   There are only 21 million npubs !

 But, the gains are (largely) not real. They are the result of inflation.  You generally cannot buy more stuff with your assets after a couple of years. (except some lucky hits like early investors of bitcoin and tesla) 
 Good morning 🌞 

I never see the Asian or American Nostriches because of my European time zone... 
 -Do you follow american and asian frens?
-Check ‘Trending 24hr’ regularly on Primal and follow those you like 
 Also the collection of ratings can be done on a global scale via the Nostr protocol. 
 Libertarians are afaik not against policing and fining and putting behind bars those that are agressive, violent, illegal, dishonest or show no respect for private property of others, or the commons (e.g. polluting). Also, a country must try and defend itself against foreign agression. (So an army is a necessary evil, in the real world)

Libertarians don't want to be forced by government=others regarding things that should be voluntary*, thus left to individual choices: 
education, media, healthcare, insurances, housing, money, entrepreneurship, contracting, running businesses, investing, pensions, science, speech, religion, sports, gender madness, energy usages, food, arts and culture and so on. 

Also, interference by the state in other nations is seen as something that should not be done, as it is more than bare minimum, i.e. self defense.

 THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO PROMOTE NOSTR IS TO USE IT. 
 Welcome, Neil, imho Nostr needs MODERATED GROUPS like Reddit and Telegram. 
In the mean time, use Primal, it has some Algo's (like Trending, Most Zapped) that helps a bit with discovering peeps. 
 Sorry , Neal 😉

 The lazy way: use Primal client for a while. It has built-in algo's like 'Trending 24hr'. Then follow those poster frens you like.

 On Twitter I only look at Following and my own curated Lists (btc-maximalists, goldbugs, geopolitics etc). Not fake accounts in those timelines.

 Revealing home experiment: with your eye closed and nose pinched , taste a slice of a banana and then a slice of cooked and unsalted potato and try to describe the differences in taste.  
 Good functioning GROUPS are needed, imho. (with moderation, admins, invite links, spambots etc.) 
 Wild guess: from 1978 onwards all the new money/credt/debt went into 401k assets and house prices? 
 At first sight, it seems strange that debt is so much larger than cumulative deficit. 

the difference is in house and other assets valuations , i assume?
