Tanja has been traveling the world (literally) spreading the word of #Nostr. We should all be paying attention to her insights.
I’m so excited to join her this weekend at the #adoptingbitcoin Nostr booth in #elsalvador! Saturday morning @Ian & I are also presenting on @nextblock at the conference.
The #grownostr movement is alive and well 🙌🏽 nostr:note1pm6v7g42u7ennk5tdecep7xguxvd53fu44eajkthjlq8280sp6kqdn7eef
Yesterday my own immigrant parents thanked my husband and me on not giving up on them. Bitcoin was the greatest gift I could ever give them without it feeling like their own child was supporting them.
I hope 10 years from now it’s helped them as much as it has helped your parents. 💜
That’s such a bummer. But I think it’s the norm. We have a bitcoin podcast we made for our friends and family and even 3 years in only ~5 people a year start buying.
This is the best advice. Your brain is finally fully developed at 25. Spend 10 years getting used to your brain. Try stuff out. Don’t trust your judgement, test it.
Then around age 35 take stock of your values and set up a life works for you.
And if that doesn’t work, you still have more time to figure it out. Just keep trying.
For the record, we posted our manifesto online over a month ago. But man, I jumped when I heard him say censorship cartel.
I wonder if they'll make the State Department tell the truth about #Isreal and #Gaza. That would be the true test. nostr:note1k80nfxtayqw2tyltqt3fh9yshg7880j5p9ekwmh4xzxvy2z78plq0s8nck
We are building an attention marketplace that will be open source for any client to plug in. This business model would transparently fund development on nostr. We're very excited about it. Thank you!
I asked @Ian and he said WOS may be the problem. He recommends trying @Alby as your wallet provider. That's what I use to receive and send sats on damus.
I think you're underestimating how much the democrats alienated their base by pandering to republicans.
You are in your own bubble. We all are. My bubble is former democrats who have removed themselves from party but also didn't want Trump. So yes, many people just stayed home.
Primary turnout for democrats was also extremely low.
I agree that America voted for Trump this time. It feels right. But in 2020 everyone in my bubble was extremely motivated to vote for Biden (didn't want him but hated trump enough). This time around dems forced a candidate no one even voted for. They made a mockery of democracy. So those same people who thought voting for Biden would save democracy this time sat out so democracy could actually be saved.
I think election fraud is a lazy narrative. There is a lot to support why millions of democrats sat this election out.
Biggest one is genocide. If democrats won't stop genocide and instead fund it, may as well just give up all together cause nothing can apparently stop America imperialism. Not even losing the white house.
👀 Are you guys watching #hellthread?
@Marie is showing a solution to the ad "problem" on nostr. And it's controversial! (Oh la la) But it's working!
What do yall think about this?
@nextblock will let you opt into getting paid to see ads on nostr
In the meantime... is this gonna happen on the regular? nostr:note1s36zdvqxq33g63ask263tq57phmxx64t5jt30ng60uw5r5zflslsdr7zsj
So is your opinion only theoretical? Because applied capitalism seems to make oligarchies or monopolies inevitable. Is that what we're going for?
Why not instead support the concept of trade, mutual exchange? Why must we continue to defend capitalism. I don't understand this.
I don't see mutual exchange happening much in the form of capitalism I participate in. It's not a value4value experience. I often feel forced to pay for something that is worth less than I am paying.
But I do perform many of the duties of what is deemed "unskilled" labor myself for my household. And that work is extremely more difficult and took me years to learn (for example, cooking, sewing, or gardening) than what I get paid to do at my day job. Which is essentially writing emails. But capitalism says I'm more valuable writing emails than making high quality meals to feed people? Or raising a child. Or building something with my hands.
No government nor business benefits from paying the true price for this kind of work. "Society" will never get the choice under capitalism. This is the work that makes the world run. The pandemic proved this when all the "unskilled" labor force were suddenly our essential workers. And everyone else was told to just sit tight at home.
Capitalism drives greed and exploitation. It sets the goal to maximize profits for those at the top regardless of the human cost. It ultimately encourages the elimination of competition.
I haven't spoken on a single political problem. This is how capitalism is supposed to work by design.
Now I think you've just missed the point of my post. I'm not solving or presenting a new economic theory.
My point is that there is no such thing as unskilled labor.
These jobs are hard and add great value to our society.
You're describing how monopolies set wages. Small businesses pay fair wages because they can't exploit people.
But capitalism kills small businesses and prevents their growth.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment and sats! What an honor.
You seem to get it Liam 🙌🏽
I'll tag @Ian and we'll add our npubs back into the episode descriptions. Our older episodes should have them.
If you sign up for the beta, it will send an email when it's ready. But if you keep listening to the pod you can also keep engaging with us on the project. We want to build this publicly.
Thank you for the support and cool ideas! It means so much to us 💜
