Today, I'm bearish on the entire bitcoin space (for the first time ever) Bitcoin is fine, nothing changed, but it seems I attributed a lot more intelligence to the leaders in this space than they deserve.

Keep your bullshit detectors fine-tuned and don't delude yourself with wishful thinking.

Kicked back, watching Nostrica livestream, such great conversations. Massive fomo

Unpopular truth: Many (most?) zaps on nostr aren't even Lightning transactions.

Looking at the Lightning addresses of folks on nostr, it seems the preference is for closed source lightning wallets. Why?

This long Techcrunch article about #[0] Twitter, BlueSky and Mastodon does not even mention Nostr once. Have we isolated ourselves from mainstream tech reporting or are they omitting intentionally? 🤔
