Yes that's for sure.


He still kinda winged the justification of the mnav premium. Sure, it's easy to argue that it should be above 1x.

But he needs to better explain the value prop and opportunity cost of it being above 2x (or more).

I can see it growing as much as there's a lot of bond-restricted capital looking to escape the debasement. But long term, it has be much closer to the 1x.

What do you think?

What do you think about the premium? In the long term, it has to converge to just slightly above 1x, no?


Sure. But derivatives serve different function (besides the degen trading). Hedging and insuring the risks is conceptually a fair efficiency gain.

Figuring out the most trustless way to do it is a separate issue.

Derivatives are fine. The problem is the government implicitly insuring the biggest gamblers from any major losses.

Epic plan. Be the change you want to see in the world.


They also proved they don't shy away from carpet bombing whole countries.


Fair point. Unfortunately US-Israel aren't known for precision strikes or for surgically removing the regimes. Rather the opposite. So I'm not against replacing the war hawks with a space boy in the lead.


What's the objection to having them talk, though?

Seems better than all the military/intelligence escalations so far.


More concerning since they seem more competent than Coinbase. Raising the bar for the fiat world, but it's still absolutely fiat in the IOU sense.

It can very possibly become a one way street Hotel California for any Bitcoin you send there.


UMA - That's what LightSpark came up with.

"The UMA standard combines human-readable Lightning Addresses with real-time, global payment rails. It extends the capabilities of Lightning and LNURL to add support for compliance and fiat currency FX."

To me, it reads like "KYC Lightning as a service". Lots of Travel Rule compliance speak. It seems like permissioned custodial networks for transferring any assets over lightning.

Not as dramatic as Threads or Bluesky, but Mastodon creator Eugen Rochko told me Mastodon is also growing, with signups up 27% so far in November. From my chat with him yesterday:

A day on the hill country ranch; learn something new & pack fresh turkey or a piece of bison with you to enjoy at home.

* apparently Turkey's are all sold out for the Thanksgiving by now; great reason to look into those Bison harvests. 🦬


They can pair up with Tucker. God cop - bad cop strategy.

Since we're all busy celebrating that Ross will be free Day One, did you know that the US Government is using Ross' conviction to go after Tornado Cash?

In the Tornado Cash case, the government directly cites the Silk Road prosecution, arguing that neither Ross, nor Roman Storm, needed to have conspired with the users of their software to be held accountable for the crimes they committed.

The Government calls Storm's and Ulbricht's cases "analogous" – and its the same argument applied to convict Roman Sterlingov.

Unless Ross' conviction is overturned, anyone developing software that the Government doesn't like is fair game.

The dangerous precedent his conviction set will continue to be used to be used by the US Government to overstep its boundaries and hold software developers accountable for crimes they did not commit.

Ross Ulbricht should never have been in prison. And neither should others prosecuted under the same flawed argumentation.

Freeing Ross is not enough. Overturn US v. Ulbricht day one.

The legal immigration system is royally fucked up and has zero vision or aim. I suspect that its main point is to channel migrants towards the illegal crossings, money for cartels and cheap slave-like labor inside.

Tearing up this section of lawn has served more than one purpose. For work I've been on a project that generated a lot of cardboard packaging waste - rather than paying disposal fees, why not put it to better use?

I've dug down about 300mm deep, put the grass I tore out at the bottom and covered it with cardboard, this can all break down and enrich the soil while forming a bit if a barrier to stop the grass growing back through.

I'm using nothing but hand tools so this is going to take a while, I'll keep posting updates as I go. This is probably the biggest patch I've ever done on this block but don't be afraid to give it a go at your own place.

"Nomadland is primarily a drama film, not a documentary. Directed by Chloé Zhao, it is based on the nonfiction book Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century by Jessica Bruder. The film follows a woman in her sixties, played by Frances McDormand, who loses everything during the Great Recession and embarks on a journey through the American West, living as a modern-day nomad.

While it is a fictional narrative, Nomadland incorporates documentary elements, using real-life nomads and their stories to enhance its portrayal of contemporary American life. This blending of genres has led some to describe it as a "structured reality" film, where the lines between documentary and drama are blurred."

It's becoming ridiculous how many Bitcoin-related apps I have to install and deal with just to use #bitcoin.

- BlueWallet for Multisig
- GreenWallet for Liquid
- ZeusWallet for Lightning and on-chain Taproot
- Minibits for eCash
- Peach for P2P on-chain
- Robosats for P2P lightning
- BoltzExchange for swaps

These are just the basics, in my opinion.

Advanced users, also known as "paranoid crypto-anarchists", will also need to install:
- Bitcoin Core Node
- Electrum Server
- Mempool
- WasabiWallet for on-chain coinjoins
- Multiple custodial LN wallets for mixing

Even the shitcoiners who are into ordinals/inscriptions would also need a separate wallet app for that.

This growing list of apps makes it increasingly complex and time-consuming to manage. And don't get me started on #nostr...

Is an all-in-one bitcoin mega-app the solution? Thoughts?

Thanks for sharing the interesting stuff here. You're right, there was certainly quite some hubris stemming from misunderstanding how the betting markets work.

The ability to simply communicate the odds in real time while the MSM (& Kamala) are still hedging with "too early to tell" was a major win for the betting markets.


That was my first thought in the morning too. People are finally fed up with the righteous and super subjectivr argumentation about the speaker's character instead about the ideas.

All the -ist slurs & basement hiding instead of open dialogue has been a major drag on the sanity of this country.

Now that we can recognize that this thoughts firewall isn't working anymore on vast majority of the country, we can start focusing the energy on bettering all the ideas instead of fighting the firewalls.

0. You: As in Permaculture, with Zone 0 being your house and Zone 1 being outside that, your person is the first thing you need sorted out. Thus covers your personal mindset and health

1. Water: what you have and how you carry it.

2. Food: what you have, knowledge and skill to feed yourself.

3. Energy: usually thus would be fire, but today we also need electricity for many things.

4. Shelter: how you protect yourself from the elements.

5. Health: Sanitation and medicines.

6. Safety: defence, knowledge, skills, mindset.

No point, IMO. Biden might be getting more and more senile and harder to deal with for them. But also offers a perfect cover for whatever they want to pass before the end of the term.

https://i.nostr.build/aZTTqewGv3aa6i6b.jpg


Wow; don't leave!


This writeup from Vitor helped me a lot; *not all clients offer all the customization

https://yakihonne.com/article/naddr1qq9hyetvv9uj6um9w36hqq3qgcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqxpqqqp65wjvcq4q


In the early days of ecash a common narrative was that it provides "theoretically perfect anonymity", but there's more nuance to this.

It's correct that when the client presents an unblinded signed message, the mint cannot link this to any specific blinded cyphertext that it signed previously.

However, there is still three pieces of critical metadata that the client does reveal:

1. The number of inputs and outputs of the ecash transaction. Transactions with many inputs reveal that the same user got paid many times in the past. Transactions with many outputs reveal that one user is making many payments.

2. The value of each input and output. The mint uses a different key for each denomination value of the tokens. Thus a token worth 5 units is easily differentiated from a token worth 10 units. The anonymity set of a token depends on the number of tokens generated, so if a user is the only one with that specific denomination he has no privacy.

3. The IP address that connects to the mint to send the transaction api request. If the same IP address makes multiple payments, it's likely the same user, and his geolocation is also revealed.

Problems 1 and 2 can be mitigated on client side, but this adds substantial complexity in utxo management and transaction structure. If these mitigation are not specified and different clients have slightly different solutions, this opens up additional client fingerprinting attacks.

WabiSabi is designed to solve problems 1 and 2 on a protocol level. A WabiSabi transaction is required to have exactly two inputs and two outputs, and homomorphic value commitments hide the amounts of each input and output. The tradeoff is that the mint has to issue 0 value credentials, a user needs to make more transactions to prepare his desired amounts, and the proof size and creation time is larger.

Problem 3 is addressed by a client side networking anonymity layer. A VPN at least hides the actual users IP address, but if only one client uses this VPN to talk to this mint, it's still one IP per user. Tor is incredibly useful here, as it allows the creation of anonymous onion routes through the network with different exit IP addresses. A client can get a new IP for each api request! This does however increase bandwidth and latency cost.

We should assume "everyone knows what the mint knows", and so we need to be hardcore about privacy protections best baked into the protocol. If the protocol doesn't ensure the security of the user, client devs have to do an exponentially larger amount of research and development to fix the issues client side.


Whatever it is, I take that any day over an all out war.

101 on how gold was confiscated:

You had to turn it in for dollars by a deadline prior to dollar devaluation, and there were massive prison consequences for not turning it in, but little resources in terms of investigating who didn’t turn it in. That would be expensive. So it was fear based. Focusing on illegality and tail risks on edge cases more than enforcement on average.

Institutions had to comply immediately, since it’s all visible. So the government broke liquidity in the domestic gold market, which was enough for their purposes. Gold became a hard-to-trade illegal relic for those that held it.

If a small family hodled some extra bars for 40 years until it became legal again, they did okay.

But can the government track bitcoin in the 2020s better or worse than gold in 1930s for enforcement purposes? That’s the right question.

And don’t just think of confiscation. Think of 70% selective taxes and things like that. Far more within the current rule of law. That’s the sophisticated approach. Don’t take it. Selectively tax it by a lot.

Those are the politics to push against from a bitcoin perspective.


Imagine you're a refugee with absolutely nothing. But you have a choice to move to a place where Bitcoin exists vs the alternative of the same place where it doesn't exist.

Are you saying that the choice sjouldn't matter to you? ...That's a bold position to me.


Example - you're a babysitter in a small town. Half of your town happens to 19x their savings -> your neighborhood happiness and charitability/neighbourliness significantly improves and your babysitting wages as well.

On a state level
- your neighborhood mostly manages to limit the theft from the government (central bank) -> their incentives get more closely aligned with purely providing value to others vs to milking the regulator who promises low interest loans.


The closer to real capitalism society gets, the better it is for the poor. History is quite convincing on that.


Nah, plenty of bitcoin merchants selling t-shirts as well if you really need one.

LTV - lifetime value.

Everything measurable is always just a neverending optimization for the life time value of the given service (product).

Profit generated by a student after finishing the school might be the proxy I go with.

But also, whenever you centralize all efforts and align incentivee around a single proxy metric, people start gaming it, and the metric looses its proxy value. The system also gets very fragile if everyone shoots for the same proxy. We should let the individual customers (students, families, communities) to subjectivily define what they see as their LTV definition.

So maybe, if you wouldn't have the centralized power of the public educatiin in the first place, you wouldn't have to argue with people about the best measurement of its quality ✌

I really do think nostr needs a 'ehat are they building over there's presence on perhaps substack and twitter. A regularish press release -style update on the projects here.

OpenSats does this to some extent with what they are finding, but also including new independent projects and also their progress. But in a quite dry trade press style (I think the OpenSats grant report is well written for this sort of thing).

What I mean is to not include 'waahey purple ostrich freedom tech, look at this lame memes about the price of bitcoin'. Just a to the point run down of developments, with the occasional big announcements.

I think WeDistribute sort of do this (along with Bluesky and fedi etc), but perhaps they've not really got their finger on the pulse of Nostr and this would be solely nostr.

Obviously I'm not the person to do this. And perhaps it exists already(?)

The govt can't tax the work you perform directly for yourself.

The govt also can't tax the work that plants, worms, bacteria & animals perform for you. That's why they want you to buy from farmers that use heavy machinery & fancy fertilisers/chemicals.

Since discovering Bitcoin, I've also been rediscovering permaculture. For me, it's been about building resilience rather than becoming self sufficient.

Gm. I’m Italian. I am not looking for a country that is pro-bitcoin because I knew from the beginning that bitcoin was born to turn the tables and that governments would do anything to stop it.

I am not deluded, I know what it is like to be David against Goliath and to lose everything in the face of power.

I am not afraid that my state is against bitcoin, I know it is a state of mobsters and corrupt people, but hey, it’s all there: it is obvious and it is clear.

I know I don't have to trust anyone and I have to protect myself and my family if I want to live in the country that I deeply love. That’s why I bitcoin.

For example Primal web is the peak of "chunks". AFAIK, it always shows you just one further level of responses, but if you want to see response to a response, you have to click again to go " further ".

Slack

- it might be just a nature that it allows just a 1-level-deep responses, and everything is then just a chronologically sorted responses to the top level note.

- On the top level note, you see "123 responses in the thread", clicking on the note loads a note specific page with the full thread of responses below.

- whenever you get tired of scrolling and reading, you just click to go back (or use keyboard shortcut), and you land back to your channel feed.

I always liked the setting when anyone is allowed to create any amount of public (ie searchable) or private channels. And then even within the channels, no matter how many participants they have, it's easy to browse the top level notes, and zoom into only the ones you care about.

Someone still might be spammy and keep responding to everything. But it's little easier to just scan and skip than in the pure chat UIs.


I think Facebook used to do the UI pretty well too. Just sometime recently they added some algo inside the threads which might be little controversial, but it's a cheaper substitute to human moderation.


Slack collapses threads similarly as Reddit. And further responses in the threads get displayed to (and notify) only the people in the thread.

Discord - every further response gets posted as "quoted noted" in the main channel.

Slack has an opt in checkmark to repost the thread response at 1st level note "to all", but it doesn't spam everyone by default.

I also prefer slack over reddit that when I click to "open the thread", it rolls up the whole thread, not just it's chunks.

On the other hand, on reddit, I prefer the unlimited, and clearly visualized nesting/forting. So that people can dive into independent rabbit holes on invividual pieces of the threads without adding noise to others.


I think it could be also the UI issue, not just the moderation.

Discord has a pretty poor threading functionality IMO. Just a one-level reply makes it more like a radio communication channel, where you have to keep saying "over", and it gets messy pretty quickly with more people trying to talk.

I think Slack is much more versatile and better suited for both conversations, and broadcasting.


I was packing up with a heavy heart.

Beautiful write up.


7 years ago, a friend and I were in the Chilean Andes, we hiked up a steep hillside to check out some local biking trails. At the top, he casually said, "I think I'll fly down." I was confused until he pulled out an ultralight paraglider from his backpack.
https://i.nostr.build/rd5UeWicGBrzgzaB.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/jgJWCggT6zmyCutw.jpg

I watched in amazement as he ran off the hillside and smoothly flew down to the valley floor. The next day, I sold my bike, bought my first glider, and adopted flying as a new sport for exploring the mountains.

My two close friends and I bought wings together and took classes at a local paragliding school. The first steps off the cliff into the breeze is a surreal weightless feeling.
https://v.nostr.build/3Z9cDjoubDdeWlYq.mp4

Our learning process wasn't without incidents and some very close calls prompted us to dedicate more effort to learning techniques, meteorology, and flying more often in easier conditions. I wanted to be safer through knowledge and experience. Risk to reward ratio became a major driver behind all flying missions.
https://v.nostr.build/JcXJXPZFozz3Y1k3.mp4

Mountains vary a ton in weather and conditions so paragliders come in various sizes to accommodate different styles of flying.  We quickly learned it was good to have a quiver to enjoy different weather conditions.

There is something beautiful about traveling with a small extra backpack that lets you fly around and see new locations from above. It's a call to hit the road and go exploring with any free time.

If you're interested in paragliding, here are some tips to hopefully help you avoid mistakes I made:
•  Take lessons
•  Buy a wing matching your experience level
•  Fly with better pilots who can advise you
•  Always fly with a GPS beacon
•  Always carry a parachute & first aid kit with tourniquet
•  Fly in late afternoons for dampened, easier conditions
- Know that is is totally ok to pack your wing up and walk away from a flight aka take your ego out of it.

Paragliding is an incredible sport/hobby that offers unique perspectives and pairs well with hiking and skiing in large mountains or beach life. Keep present that safety and proper training are crucial to enjoying your time in the air. Happy flying!

Best negotiating advice I ever got: "When negotiating, don't negotiate just on your own behalf. Negotiate on behalf of all your (future) family."


Yea, fair point.

Tbh, I missed and overlooked the debit card loophole for not paying the surcharge at first. I'd word and highlight it differently.

It also caught me by surprise. The "no cash" has been spreading, but it might be one of the first surcharges on credit cards I've seen at the food trucks / breweries around here.


Too late to explore the earth.

Too early to explore the space.

Just in time to fix the money and freedom of speech.


Great find!


Mind blown today.

BBQ Food Truck has a sign "No Cash - Accepting Apple | Google Pay | Credit & Debit Cards"

Below that is attached a hand written note "All credit card payments 3% surcharge will be added to all credit card transactions".

Also, the guy complimented my Bitcoin T-shirt. But said they don't accept Bitcoin. "Hopefully soon, brother".

*BBQ tasted great but my head is still spinning when I think about it.

Does it feel around you like people still know how much things should cost? Or have we lost the referential prices already?

Around here, draft beer was always $5, ever since I remember. Now, when they ask for $8, I don't even know if they are ripping me off, or giving me a deal.

Today, I saw a simple wooden "anti anxiety dog crate" on local marketplace website for $600. It felt ridicilous. But then I saw these are really going for ~$500 in bunch of other places as well.

She can download Phoenix, keep the sats there under her complete control (in self custody), and use Strike just for cashing out EUR to her local bank as needed for rent, etc.

She can also easily pay with Bitcoin directly from Phoenix wherever she finds possible, or purchase gift cards on Bitrefill for her Carrefour/Zalando/Uber/Amazon shopping. Which is generally better than going through the bank account route (less likely that she can run into any hassles of having to report the sources of income and other government nonsense)


She should be able to get Strike there, and link it up with her bank account there for withdrawals to fiat (at least that's how I understood the Strike EU launch announcements)

Or are you asking for non KYC withdrawals to fiat?

I'm having more in mind this situation - I'm following some developing flash flood situation , and many of the official institution are posting the small updates to Twitter.

Sure, newsrooms and everyone is making sure to repost the major updates everywhere else. But still, if you want the fastest (and easily discoverable) updates, you don't get them without creating account on X.


It's kinda fucked up that the first responders and other public institution choose to communicate emergency updates via closed source network.

Public institutions shouldn't be communicating important public info solely through privatized protocols.

I always wished companies would get more open and collaborative about their A/B tests, and share them for free in some standardised way.

I think that contrary to what they think, it would be a great competitive advantage for their products. Allowing anyone to see under the hood, chime in with feedback, ideas, suggest their own feature improvements...

Nostr could be an ideal platform for that, and open source contributors could be ideal target audience.

"For me personally, this analysis has helped me frame up why a -26% correction ‘feels like’ a -40% one…that’s exactly what it is in real purchasing power terms"

This seems to match my internal measure of sats per beer & tacos quite closely.

It's been always interesting to me that the Western movies peaked in the US in the ~50s/60s while my grandpa (and many of his peers) in Eastern Europe kept their deep fascination for the freedom adventurers on the frontier and the American Cowboy ideas for decades longer.

By now, people in the US barely know who John Wayne was, while grandpa's spamming me every other day with the reports about rewatching one of the classics on the local TV channels.

Today he watched The Train Robbers.

"Takeover" and jump starting local circular economy sounds more realistic than building on the green fields in terms of some real economic sustainability to me.

Relay operators can decide what content to transmit. For example, they could impose custom restrictions, or put a pay wall there to limit the spam (paid relays).

If some relays start censoring you, you can just transmit your notes through some others, or even your own ones. As long as anyone "subscribes" for reading those relays, the communication works.

You are right, it's just incremental step; might as well lead to more sensationalism incentives and chasing to be the first to 'break" in with their take.

Yet, it hints a path; and idea that can be iterated on further. Maybe not by Elon, but that's besides the point.


The never-ending academic discussion about "But how do you define relevance?" does not matter.

Any simple definition moves you closer to a better one.


That's a relevant question :-)

Options are endless, but I like this incremental improvement. It hints towards the next incremental improvements (ex. you can nest there few popular algo choices); next time figure our interface for helping to create 'custom' ones; and so on.

I strongly believe that abdicating on the need of using some relevance algos is an immature MVP, and that it suppresses good conversations.

Maybe Marty should be declaring dumps more often.


I would be curious if it's his default state or just the state before the election. Apparently his seat is up for the reelection.

Ultimately, I'm skeptical about anyone willingly associating with either of the two parties. High burden of proof for such people.

It's an improvement of the custodial lightning.

- trust is distributed across multiple agents inside the community (multisig style)
- it's cheaper & more anonymous to use (because it's ecash)

Makes sense to me for circular economies with small amounts.

You can argue that self-custodial lightning is better, but it requires a lot of skills from the users, and is somewhat expensive.

Oh, I rather define it as a worldview where individuals are sorted into classes defined by their sexual and racial (and other, including socioeconomic) characteristics. And thinking that these groupings almost perfectly define every single persons actions and destiny.

It''s connected with the idea that anyone's success is not due to their hard work, parents, education, luck, ... but rather simply due to their belonging itself to at least some of the "privileged" subgroups, and the systemic exploitation of the unprivileged subgroups.

Really, it's just a zero sum class warfare with differently defined classes.

Of course, the exploitation is unjust, so we need some smart emphatic state rules to fix it. And thankfully, we have the social justice warriors to unconditionally serve this goal.


Btw, RFK totally wasted the opportunity to proclaim "Ich bin ein Bitcoiner" to the crowds in Nashville. Would be epic.


No easy game, good luck 💪


People use Biden's announcement as an example here, but can any tech convince us that it was indeed himself signing the message with his own keys?

Single point of verification is a single point of failure. Multiple independent points of verification are needed, IMO. And that's why the sole Twitter announcement triggered the doubt's.


https://image.nostr.build/12e2432edf70c6edaff291c5b4e3e89a2ce1ddc16f41520803115feba28e684e.jpg

Imagine you're an Indian immigrant. Whichever generation.

You're raised in the environment of demanding excellence, shutting down any excuses, in spite of the actual harsh systemic regulatory barriers (the broken immigration system)

And then some dumb politician comes pitching you "being like you" and DEI. And that it worked out great for her...


He sounds like you too!


Just that conflating "transactions per attendee on the recommended platform we track" with the "quality of the crowd" is little disingenuous.

it's a small sample of all the transactions happening during the conference. And it says more about how good a job the organizer did with onboarding the beer & coffee vendors than anything else.

It's a good direction, but I wouldn't overfocus on this metric.


The sentiment makes sense, but the data to support it seems weak. Almost feels Keynesian to me to be willing to support our talking points and ideas with knowingly poor data.

- Where is it coming from?
- What kinds of transactions is it missing?

There are people who talk seriously about the US military backing the dollar, when they can’t even keep the Red Sea open against Houthis and their drones for the better part of a year now.

Literally half of their mandate is to keep global shipping lanes open, and they don’t know what to do about this. Sure, they could nuke half the world, but they can’t actually perform pinpoint military control at distance anymore.

Paper tiger.

Not only is their technology increasingly offsides from what exists out there, but morally they’ve lost the plot as well, and so nobody gives a shit at home either.

We find ourselves meming the situation in social media as they lack answers.


No border agent will be fired or fined for it 🤷♂

This is why Nostr is important as the world becomes more repressive. It provides a place to express freely and helps maintain privacy in digital footprints. Malaysia is a beautiful country with great people and awesome food, but it also has harsh sedition laws that can lead up to 20 years in prison for dissenters, and its often misused by the ruling governments.

We'll be choosing our own algorithms in time. That will be the ultimate piece towards the free market for the social media attention.


We lost freedom, because we lost responsibility. We want the next overlord to fix our problems. The next platform to fix all the issues that the current platform has. The next news cycle to wash our neurons clean of the last cycle; the next dopamine hit.


Unironically, it might be a perfect fit 🍻

I'd copy it and make a doner kebab rating app companion.


Dennis Porter has a ballsy communication strategy. Intentionally producing more clicks than facts. But being pretty effective in triggering the public conversations regardless.

Kudos to that.

But to be more practical, there should be a clear follow up asking for explicit actions (from both parties); let's not just amuse ourselves with clapping to the proclamations.

Arthur Hayes got a great blog post about how to do it; asking for a specifically formulated bill to be passed even before the election:

Cancel culture is downstream from the centralized protocols (including states).

On the open market (protocol), it will have limited impact, and hopefully would be thrn less attractive to the perpetrators.


All the people I regularly interact with here are incredibly positive and overwhelmingly optimistic about the future.

Sometimes, being on nostr this feels so normal that I forget to be grateful for it.

I deeply hope this will scale to the whole world and everybody can experience this and we don’t lose this somewhere in the process 🫡

Maybe he's just trying to unload his real estate bags on Bitcoiners. Bitcoin is the hurdle rate, if you're generating less, you're wasting your family's energy.


Didn't know about the 1930 plot either.


They open sourced their code and they are inviting partners to integrate and build on top of Bitkey. Not permisionless (they won't merge things they don't want in their apps, but a solid and pragmatic goodwill).

I expect many more integrations coming, and the priority will be based on the mutual demand, tech compatibility, vision alignment...

Peach is probably too small a player for the first round. Hopefully soon.


Do you think more people would move money from btc to other crypto because of this?

Or that it would be rather an escape valve in the opposite way?

I'm leaning to the latter. And that options are good.


On the other hand, there's much less to lose with pardoning Ross vs these examples. It's very apolitical.


That has been the case for 10 years now.

I wonder what this weekend does to Trump's promise. His chances to act on it are certainly much higher.


What does this weekend mean for Ross chances to walk free again?

If there's a blinded box (ballot box) and it would allow people to take whatever percentage of wealth from the "rich" to redistribute to "the others", socialists (economically naive) will keep maxing it out while saying on public something else.

Democracy is Milgram experiment of itself.


Majority sees wealth as a sin, and want to "redistribute it better". This always leads to the said wealth being destroyed. The ignorance and hubris on the left is thinking that it can be done (better). And they are willing to force feed their view against any dissenring minority "for the common good" and sacrifice the hard work of others.

I love that Bitcoin can't be seen and csn't br grabbed. Therefore, it eliminates the leftists inescapable desire for taking it without the work from others to "redistribute it better".

You cannot take other people's karma. If you think you can, you're naive and/or evil.

Hikes are always the best.


Should be but people won’t switch until they’re forced to. And the primary “feature” on these platforms is the userbase.

So it’s more about being ready than demanding that people switch now.


It's about the "sacrifices" that you're willing to make to achieve your goals.

Bitcoiners are willing to put in the sacrifice of their own in terms of proof of work for their goals.

People captured in the politics games arena are willing to sacrifice other for their own goals. Mostly leftists, but nowhere near exclusively...

I just watched this Patreon founder's SXSW talk going through the evolution of the web from the point of view of a creator (could be applied to any social media user).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwn6-8XpIuE

Pretty fascinating overview on how the true connections & discovery have been taking over by the attention sellers & thieves. And how he's finding the solution in designing tech products around the deep connections rather than the superficial attention

It's a great showcase on how to sell Nostr to people not caring about the censorship resistance. A must watch if you're working on social products on Nostr (ie anything on Nostr).

The idea that only zaps are quality signal is dumb.

This is like ignoring the vast majority of people who don't want money in their social interactions.

Imagine standing in a circle of friends and zapping each other 2 cents every time someone said something you agree with. This is just not how social interactions work. Money was never part of the social agreement.

Proof of work and all / actions speak louder than words / put your money where your mouth is... I get it, that has value and is absolutely true in other context, but not in social. It's a nice bonus, it's great to be valued with a payment for something you put effort into, but it can never replace free expression without the expectation of payment. Believe it or not, some people don't want money involved in their conversations.

That's not to say that you can't have it, but don't insist on only zaps. It's going to turn people away.

I'm eagerly awaiting for employers to start offering BTC DCA match instead of the 401k match.

Fiat math has some solid nominal savings

https://m.primal.net/JKxu.png

But comparing it against opportunity cost of stacking non-custodial BTC for the long-term... I can't see a Bitcoiner who wouldn't prefer the btc stack match even if ~50% smaller.

As you're pointing out, maybe better to setup something like that for your family/community endownment than waiting for the companies and regulators to start offering this.

Imagine you're one of the big zombie companies on the Japanese zombie market, trading in yens, and you still not get it. 🫣

I can see that angle as well. He's little too much set on Newsom as well.

But do they really not have anyone better, or is that they just didn't want anyone better?

Michelle Obama or even AOC could win it for them; even Liz Warren would have a better standing than clearly senile Biden, IMO.

Moreover, they had all the time in the world to fish in the Holywood/Media world, they could find some Tom Hanks, DiCaprio or DeNiro eager to step up to "save our democracy"; or some Silicon Valley mogul or Mark Cuban, Oprah, ...

Anything's possible. But I find it hard to believe that people in charge are surprised by Biden's debate performance, and that they wouldn't already have a contingency plan ready to roll.


He's feeling that independance, and obviously liking it.

The most beautiful thing about bitcoin, and the sound money capitalism is how your success is making every other Bitcoiner more successful as a positive externality.

It makes it extra enjoyable hearing a feel-good stories from another bitcoiner. There's not many global places where everyone would be genuinely cheering for everyone else.
