 Commish @davidt just BROKE the NOSTR algorithm, making history!! 200k Sat prize delivered friction free and publicly auditable not just on-chain or private lightning, but via Zap!

It lets all of NOSTR know that @Coffee ☕ is the king of making NOSTR Football Survivor pools, and @grayruby on Stacker News!

This is what it looks like to have the MOST-ZAPPED Note in the last 4 hours! Thanks @Derek Ross for giving me the idea to advertise our community in this way from your recent podcast with @lukedewolf @knutsvanholm!

@jack was right. NOSTR is unstoppable!

 In a clown world where Geno Smith and Seattle is undefeated, but Lamar Jackson and Ravens can only get a win on the road in Dallas, all we can trust is decentralized NOSTR and Bitcoin.

Looking forward to discussing the season with you and @davidt and @grayruby! I think he’s finally the one to orange pill me to sign up for Stacker News! 
 Omg that Darnold joke is only so funny because it’s true! 😭😭 
 This is how we win! Keep building. We push each other to grow further 💪 
 IM THE WINNER OF FIRST EVER NOSTR NFL FOOTBALL SURVIVOR POOL!!

Second place @grayruby! You should’ve known not to bet against my LA Rams 🐏

Thank you @davidt @Coffee ☕ for setting it up! Happy to meet new NOSTR friends @7edc0e68 and @raiden @VincesatBitGogh!

 We may complain about clown world and #Bitcoin being the only way to opt out, but it is 49ers special teams who are the clowns and 36-year-old veteran Stafford who is LA’s savior, haha! 
 I try not to judge Nostr clients too hard in any given month on this early basis. They're all wor... 
 Just like #Bitcoin, it’s so early! 
 @leishman 

Actual proof of reserves with a GitHub repo and #Bitcoin on-chain addresses and everything!

@Leishman and @River doing it right!

13,000 Bitcoin is no small amount to custody on behalf of clients, and you’re doing it yourself! No 3rd party needed 😎

“NOSTR is a free and open protocol so sure if a developer wants to make an A-hole algorithm that just shows you trolls to keep you engaged and enraged, you could do that!” -@Derek Ross 

Pure freedom I love it!

 After 2 weeks and some early upsets the nostrsurvival pool is down to 2 left standing! nostr:npub... 
 Ah so now it’s head-to-head against my competition. It’s on now!

I’ll miss these early days of Bitcoin where I have things in common with my fellow Bitcoiner - we tend to have similar values like personal accountability and hard work. There’s no such thing as “Dollar” Meetups. Just because someone uses the dollar doesn’t mean we’re likely to have much in common 😂 
 While it only takes two minutes to read each chapter of “Why Bitcoin?” it takes much longer to appreciate its beauty.

@TomerStrolight and Klaus Nordby took their time to craft each artistic image, word, and italics to drive a profound point. 

I highlight the first two ch in🧵👇
https://m.primal.net/KpNW.jpg 
 In ch 1 “Why Bitcoin Exists?” @TomerStrolight says:

“Before you get caught up in if you can ‘get rich quick’ from Bitcoin, you should be asking if it has a deeper purpose.”

“That is a pretty lofty goal: serving all of mankind, forever!”
https://m.primal.net/KpNX.jpg 
 In ch 2, “Why Bitcoin is Unlike Anything You Have Ever Seen” @TomerStrolight sets up your mental frame with the pop-out quote, “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

This quote and the art drive this point🤯

 If I need a new lnurl which provider do people recommend these days?

 Thanks Keysa! I setup a free lnurl here on Primal: beigehorse4@primal.net

And I forgot I already had one on fountain realbitcoindog@fountain.fm but their UI isn’t the best wallet

 Thank you @heidisov for sharing @stephanlivera pod w/ @brian_trollz on @fountain_app!

TIL Drivechains misalign miner incentives which could be damaging at nation-state adoption levels.

Instead, @Polyd_ CTV non-recursive covenants only add txn opcode💪

 While there will always inherently be a way to distinguish one UTXO set from another, the #Bitcoin  community has come to consensus to agree any #Bitcoin  transaction is valid that conforms to consensus rules.

No satoshis are more “valid” or more valuable based on their UTXO set.
