 This is sad. 
 I don't drink, but this looks delicious. 
 #Astrobot can easily be as big as Mario. 
Beautiful game. 9.8/10. 🔥

 Didnt know these started selling. Please share your experience. 
 You don't want proof of work. You want proof of humanity. Those are very different things.

 Good morning to everyone! Have an outstanding day! 🌞 
 Good morning Liz! 
 Gm nostr. 

Time to block spam and mute bots. 
 ReplyGuy is dead. 
 I read this in the voice of Trump. 
 Bringing instagram to nostr i see. 
 Oooof if the spam bots find the hellthread. Everyo e will leave nostr. 

They probably already did. 
 Don’t know what web of trust is and at this point not gonna ask… 
 It was right there in front of us all the time. 
 The amount of covid masks the moment you step into an Apple Store is truly mindblowing. 
 Really? I haven't seen a covid masks anywhere for at least two years. 
 If it captured his messed up orange makeup, then id consider it authentic. 
 If you ever feel bad about yourself don’t.

Somewhere out there someone is actively stacking bc... 
 🤣🤣 
 Down to two paid relays. no spam.
I would not mind if some of the free relays switched to 5 or 10 sats relays. whatever the economical number is that blocks spam. 
 Yeah make it ridiculously cheap for an individual, But expensive for churning npubs. 
 Make it part of the onboarding. 
 Shoutout to the nostr:npub1aeh2zw4elewy5682lxc6xnlqzjnxksq303gwu2npfaxd49vmde6qcq4nwx and the Nod... 
 Agreed. Best place to be if you rub a node. 
 Ducking typos. 
 We currently use Telegram for speed of communication. Feel free to join. 

We will probably hop to the first good nostr group chat implementation. But that didn’t happen yet. 
 I figured out a very fun and great way to do this!

 haha I am still cooking it. 
 Do we have interior designers on #nostr?

#asknostr 
 I love nostr! Thank you! 
 There is a lot of spam going on here. How can i prevent this? Connect to specific relais? Paid re... 
 I hate to say this. but all measures we have now are barely effective. I have been trying to figure this out, but its very difficult.

Best way to take all of this out. move to paid relays. 
 ...and it's properties
are far better than 
all the rest of them 
its mathematical  
no more double spend its encrypt-able 
put your cash in your brain or as wearable

 GM nostr. 

I am switching from Primal Web to Nostrudel. I need to drive a manual car for a bit, the manual car is selecting wrong gears. 
 Agreed. It is amazing. 
 Haha....  let me check this out! 
 Exactly. haha 
 Exactly the same 🤣  can you fix the comment button? it doesn't click. 
 That is true. Everything just works. 
 Oh really. I didn't know that. Good news i guess. 
 I switched to paid and WoT relays. I now see 10 notes a day. haha 
 Lol so true. it has good branding.🤣 
 Made a lot of progress! Decals are being printed, cabinet is almost done! 🔥🕹️

nostr:note... 
 Wow! This is amazing. 
 I feeling like I need a digital shower after every post. 
 PoW is speaking in sats. 

One Sat message from now on. 
 @corndalorian where is the full Etherum Anthem? 😅

I want to know the rest of the song. 🤣🤣🤣 
 Yes! very catchy though 🤣

  @primal Can you please fix the "Comment" button on Primal web. 

It never worked for me, ever. And its odd because its the second most important button in the UI.  
 Very strange. Makes me wonder if the Primal team uses the app without clicking it. 
 That would be amazing. 
 I don't usually go for the swag but might have to make a exception for this one 
nostr:nevent1qqs... 
 This one is cool. 
 I like the current implementation more. 
I would also suggest, if this to be adopted. please make it bottom corners. Top always feels like a reach, even on a monitor. 
 This is fantastic. I now understand why you want to put the New Note button there.

I will still personally be in favor of bottom corners. Possibly hover over the most right column (This also would give Left/right handed accessibility). My only reasoning is that i don't think top left corner is ergonomic even with mouse and keyboard.

Just my 2 sats. 
 I feel stupid. I probably watched The Matrix a billion times. 

TIL that the Matrix seen have a green tint, and the real world scenes are blue.

🤣  
 Lots of debate about the Saylor / Saifedean conversation

I thought it was really interesting

No... 
 I think thats the problem with the discussion. not both made good points. Said did, Saylor didnt. 
 Your asking questions with the same mindset Saylor came with into the interview with Saif.

I would summarize Saifs points. Borrowing doesnt necessarly mean yield.

People will borrow, but either for free. because there is no need to get interest, since the currency id deflationary.

Or people will borrow buy means like IPOs and selling project shares, where they take risk with the lender. 
 That is exactly what i say. Saif believes we will be exchanging bitcoin for equity through things like IPOs (equity). That is literally my last line.

And IPOs are a form of borrowing/lending. where the objective of the borrower is to get cash from someone with a promise of future returns. 

As for borrowing through banks. Saif believes that will slowly stop, at least at the government level. and private lending might happen for free (he even argues for negative yield). 
 I'm exhausted. I just came out after three hours at the dentist!

Although i am tired, but this was the best dentist I have ever worked with. 
 How would you create a nostr based Loyalty program? Im thinking this would be an easy nice way to purple pill some folks. 

Use Nip-05 to add npubs under your stores name for example? 
Would you build a Loyalty Program experience from scratch?
Or something more creative. 

Would love to hear your thoughs on how you would do it?

#Asknostr 
 This could work, but im targeting audience who dont k ow what nostr is. This will be their first interaction with nostr. And they will probably not know they have a nostr keypair. 
 I figured out a very fun and great way to do this!

 "All roads lead you to roam" 

I mean, obviously. That is the point. 
 🙏 😂  
 Michael was very short sighted. And I’ll explain where exactly he got it wrong and why he wants yield. 

- Michael believes Bitcoin is a great “Asset” not currency as most of us here believe.

- He also believes it’s the Best asset, and thinks people will generally choose it over other assets because it has lower risk.

- He puts Bitcoin next to real estate and stocks and mixes in gold and art when making a financial decision to buy it or not. (Saif pushed against this, Michael missed the point). 

When you have this trio, you are already deep in loss. Because you made Bitcoin an asset, it’s better than everything except its not generating income, what can you do sitting on billions of dollars? let’s make it give yield. 

What Saylor missed is that, Bitcoin is a layer bellow assets. And all other assets can become Bitcoin Generating Assets (BGAs), regaining their appeal. The house in 2050 might not be rented for fiat, it might be priced in bitcoin and generating bitcoin. The Apple stock might be priced in bitcoin, giving out dividends in bitcoin. If you miss this part, you have this feeling that bitcoin is a deadend unless i the one who has 1% of all that exist cant do anything with it. 

The proper way to make bitcoin yield, is to use it as a currency. You buy a house with bitcoin, you rent it out for bitcoin monthly payment. Boom, bitcoin yield. Saylor is thinking about this at all. nostr:note1apdj8qe5gyu5j8rhxvw30tqame2j8tzyp3gu74sh4kucz65jg4wqp8cxs4 
 I would love to hear your point.  
 I believe that is the definition of Fiat Currency. 
Currency is anything that people use to trade. Could be anything. 
 Top pow note belongs to the top truth:

Satoshi saved the world, and opened up new ones 
 Yeah, would like to know as well. I don't have that second tab. 
 HL3 confirmed. 
 just setting up my nstr 
 Welcome to nostr. 
 Strangely, I needed to hear this again.
I think this should be my alarm in the morning.
