People have no idea how badly we need @Zapstore I spent the last 7 days in a never ending loop with Apple developer support. Can’t wait to finally invite the first batch to the StashPay TestFlight.

I think it might be useful distinguish between multiple use cases and threat models for Bitcoin as a medium-of-exchange and acknowledge that these are being served by different architectures. 1. C-2-C payments 2. B-2-B payments 3. B-2-C payments It seems to me 1. requires trust-minimization and high privacy. This use case is currently being served by LSP based self-custody Lightning wallets. And also by Cashu/Fedimint though these do leverage local trust and social incentives to share UTXOs. For 2. and also in partially for 3. I think federations like Liquid leverage trust between businesses. So not on a local/private level but on a corporate level. Trust relationships in business can also be viewed as a type of social inventive structure to scale UTXOs but these are more abstract. So it makes sense that these federations have more members and I hope we will see more than one competing with each other. I’m still wrapping my head around Liquid, so I need to give this more thought. But it seems useful to reason about it that way.

Thanks for the shout-out @No Bullshit Bitcoin 🙏🏼 View quoted note →

Introducing StashPay, a bitcoin wallet for Freelancers

Today I’m excited to share a new project that I’ve been working on. A Bitcoin wallet made specifically for freelancers and digital nomads.

Running …

I hope they ban Bitcoin too View quoted note →

This is great, and I would add to it… People project their fears onto whatever “other” they have identified and then unleash their anger onto them. Often due to a misunderstanding. When someone acts in a certain way it often has nothing to do with you and mainly to do with their own unresolved issues. View quoted note →

@dave how do we unleash the productive capacity of a thousand AI indie hackers through zaps?

@dave emacs or vim?

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Macron is no different than Moxie launching a shitcoin, or Durov lying about Telegram’s encryption. We are all blind to hypocrisy without the people around us keeping us honest. May we keep friends close that call us on our bullshit. It stings in the moment, but it protects us from our ego in the longterm. #Nostr and #Bitcoin are technical manifestations of that check on the ego. They’re imperfect, but the best protocols we currently have in a world that has become unhinged. May the transition be peaceful.
