I recommend this book. It's Bastiat's famous work he is so renowned for, what a wonderful human being. In the Law he sword the floor with socialism, his rhetoric lays bare all of the main dogmas and fallacies of socialism. You can listen to it for free on audible, only 2hrs at 1.2x.

What if Blackrock has been buying #bitcoin every day for a year now, what if they bought 1.5x the daily supply every day for a year. That would've cost them about $2B and gotten them 492,750BTC. This being the safest way to grow a stack without jacking up the price. At some point it might make sense to jack up the price so no other players are able to afford a similar sizable amount. It would take another $10B to buy 20,000BTC at an average price of $0.5M each to bring the Bitcoin price to $1M, making the total stack worth $512B. Nice ROI to explain the strategy with for those on the board that didn't understand.

When you have a dialogue, try to keep in mind the conditions for a constructive conversation to emerge. You both have needs, make sure they are met.

Formulate what you want to see emerge, then create conditions for the emergence. Stack dry wood, build your kindling, light a spark. Fire emerges. Fire is emergent. It follows a protocol, a rule based structure. Fuel, oxygen and heat; all three present makes fire emerge. Try to find in your life the protocol that you can use for the emergence of that which you desire. This is what Satoshi Nakamoto did by creating #Bitcoin. #Nostr is a protocol that allows for the emergence of uncensorable speech, decentralized sharing of information, interoperability of sub-protocols and much more.

If you like #Bitcoin, this book is for you. Responsible and efficient communication is essential to establish value. Marshall Rosenberg teaches in a clear and simple way how to determine errors and how to improve your communication.

Talking about profit or revenue models this early into Nostr? WhatsApp never had any revenue and was bought by Facebook in 2014 for $19B Take a deep breath, hold it in longer than your competition. First client to monetize is the first client to be taken over by the next in line.
