If Bitcoin is comparable to the internet does that make shitcoins AOL?

“The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that’s required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve. Proof-of-work has the nice property that it can be relayed through untrusted middlemen. We don't have to worry about a chain of custody of communication. It doesn't matter who tells you a longest chain, the proof-of-work speaks for itself. The proof-of-work chain is the solution to the synchronisation problem, and to knowing what the globally shared view is without having to trust anyone.” ― Satoshi Nakamoto

Exercise, a healthy diet, not going overboard with caffeine, etc. are all great tips for sleeping better at night. But have you tried owning Bitcoin and keeping it in cold storage? 😴

Is AI the massive threat to jobs and potentially our lives that it is being cracked up to be? Or is it being exaggerated? 🤔 I’m on the fence, but I would be lying if I said ChatGPT hasn’t blown my mind at least 6 times.

Be a peace and love maximalist ✌🏼 ❤️

It feels so good posting here knowing no central authority can just delete my account or posts because they feel like it. The fact that you can even automate backing up all your posts with an umbrel relay is amazing. This is next level stuff.

My family said our final goodbye to this sweet girl this morning 💔 Losing a pet is so hard every time. Thankful for all the good times, though. ❤️

What percentage of accounts on social media with a Japanese woman as the profile pic are actually Japanese women? I would wager less than 5% and I think I’m being generous.

The people on the left think the right are all fascists. The people on the right think the left are all communists. What they both fail to realize is that no matter who is in power, the system ultimately works against pretty much all of us, all of the time, even when we are arguing with each other. Neither political party will EVER fix the system they themselves corrupted! There needs to be an outside influence. Something not within their grasp. #bitcoin

Hot take: “Bitcoin” is a less-than-stellar name for the protocol and short sells the reality of its massive potential. It makes it come off as a silly collectible. It’s like calling the internet “Bitbook” simply because it relates to information technology. There are books on the internet, but it’s obviously more far reaching than that.

“Stand With Crypto” trending on bird app 🤣

Can someone explain to me how tf ethereum and other shitcoins don’t fall under this?? Some ETH shill on twitter was trying to tell me that 2 and 4 don’t apply (of course he didn’t give any reasoning 🤪) and I can’t understand it.

If you think the banking crashes are crazy, wait till they finally declare the shitcoins as unregistered securities. 😬 Will be a bloodbath. And I will watch with my popcorn and #bitcoin in cold storage. 🍿

If everybody followed their dreams… Could society even function???? 🤔

Shower thought: “Michael Saylor is going to be a trillionaire.”

I am a Zap convert. It just makes sense. It puts energy and value behind our interactions in cyberspace, something sorely missing from most of social media. It’s not about money. It’s about tying what we do on nostr to the real world. Likes are virtual. Zaps are real. I didn’t turn likes off out of greed, but because I believe it simply makes sense. I’ve paid out more zaps than I’ve received.
