very cool to see things like joinstr.xyz using nostr for signature schemes

the way bitcoin and nostr complement each other is truly beautiful. exciting times


The simple version:
Money has the ultimate network effect, and its core values are in TRUST, liquidity, and stability (not price, but supply). The value is not in payments (this has always been served by a million layers on top), wingdings, “smart contracts,” writing stuff on it, or the million other arbitrary “improvements” that a million shitcoins sell people on.

The “crypto” market is something that will consolidate over 30-50 years with the trend we have seen from the beginning. And everything that isn’t Bitcoin will slowly die, in my humble opinion…

ETH will be a particularly bad one. Their “staking” system for “security” is a disaster of permissioned, unreliable nonsense. Trust is the last thing they have built and everyone wants it for hyped up marketing nonsense that has no lasting staying power.

I can understand people not abandoning traditional social networks where they’ve made big investments of time & energy to build an audience…

BUT I cannot understand refusing to invest ANY time and energy into a protocol that can’t be shut down.

It’s like buying a huge, expensive house, filling it with your favorite things, then putting candles in every room, but refusing to add a smoke detector or buy insurance. You’re just begging to lose everything.

Any investment made into a centralized service, ESPECIALLY one that is known for censoring people and shutting down accounts for no reason, should at MINIMUM require an equal investment into a decentralized alternative.

If everyone who was aware of the problem did this, #Nostr wins.

A real bitcoiner ™

You might not characterize the community of bitcoiners as a welcoming group of folks. Market forces have caused some of the most vocal among us to have developed a certain “toxicity”. And this is a rational mechanism of defense against all the nonsense scams, schemes and fraudsters orbiting bitcoin (and boy are there a lot of them!).

However, I have a more welcoming idea to share. You can be a “real bitcoiner™” without subscribing to all the angry toxicity. I’d suggest all it takes is understanding what makes bitcoin special. I have been accused of not being a “real bitcoiner™” at times. But, I don’t really care. I’ve been on a continual journey of educating myself and my friends about this technology. You can begin to climb the educational ladder as soon as you begin to become curious. Understand what bitcoin uniquely adds to the world: digital scarcity.

A partially ordered list of the stages you might go through:
+ buy some bitcoin via an ETF
+ buy some bitcoin and hold it on an exchange
+ understand what makes bitcoin special
+ withdraw some bitcoin to a non-custodial wallet
+ withdraw some bitcoin to cold storage run a bitcoin full node
+ explore privacy preserving technologies like TOR and CoinJoin
+ buy some non-KYC’d bitcoin
+ convert all your personal assets to bitcoin
+ run a bitcoin miner
+ exclusively hold all your wealth in cold storage
+ exclusively use bitcoin to pay for all your monetary needs
+ move to El Salvador or another bitcoin-centric community/region
+ only participate in circular economies on the bitcoin standard

The beauty of bitcoin is that it’s a voluntary system that nobody controls. So don’t let anyone shame you into living up to their expectations of what it means to be a “real bitcoiner™”. I’m somewhere in the middle of this list personally. The further I get down the list, the more curious I become about items a bit further down. I don’t expect I’ll be moving to El Salvador, but I’m a “real bitcoiner™” and you can be, too.


I second all this ❤


Imagine someone with a Nerdminer actually finds a block.
