We don't know if there's gold on that specific space rock, but we do know that gold is a natural element that occurs in mineral veins, which come from meteors after the planet cooled, so all the gold we have comes from space.
Is there a flaw in my logic?
Elon is working on a fully reusable rocket that aims to bring the cost of putting payload into orbit down to $100/kg. #Gold is worth $80,000/kg. That's a helluva arbitrage opportunity. The first company to return metric tons of refined precious metals from 16 Psyche will make the market like DeBeers. There are three companies currently working on solving the problem of asteroid mining right now, two American and one Chinese.
#Bitcoin is worth infinite dollars per kilogram. That's why mathematical scarcity is needed to measure value, in the face of the infinite abundance of the universe. nostr:note1w5e34xah59zp48s630v6x6e3yg7st6zmym32c09ztvtfwfneh7yq67y69t
It puts a bunch of qs in front of your note id which can be impressive to those who know. IYKYK

Gossip is fast becoming my favorite way to use Nostr. It's a desktop app, so it feels faster to use than a web app, and it has so many cool features, including the ability to compute bits of work for a note.
TypeScript helps a bit
NPM, yarn, and webpack can be very frustrating
Cargo is such a blessing, but you have to use Rust, and Rust makes strong typing mandatory
I hope you're hanging in there though! I wrote JS for my first professional gig back in 2012
Democracy is under attack, and the mainstream media is to blame.
I watched Rachel Maddow before Trump got elected. It was a decent show. She laid out some historical facts to put things into context and then would have an interesting guest. But after Trump got elected, that changed. It became Trump hate hour. They made sure the left was mad about losing in a very real way. Now the chickens are finally coming to roost. nostr:note1exm5lcneqhgx89mpf0c0s6cpuzkvvcq9w5ahvf2amrrrwd8rz2rqzfvqjg
I'm seeing some people (not on Nostr) share that BI hit piece on fiatjaf. I don't really want to read that article, but does anyone have anything they can point to that addresses points made in the article? Even from what little I can tell it mentions, it sounds incredibly outlandish and reeks of sensationalist journalism.
Most people are disenfranchised by the modern economy. In a deflationary economy, wealth diffuses to those doing valuable work, instead of concentrating into the hands of those who need to do nothing.
I think that's asking the wrong question. Use Proof of Work, and the rewards get distributed as miners have to sell to cover costs. And anyone who needs heat could be securing the network, democratizing rewards and broadening participation. A node in every house and vehicle, capable of harnessing any excess energy.
