To me, the harshest reality of legacy media's slow walk to obvious bankruptcy is: If their journalists were actually good at breaking news, journalism, or had interesting things to say on opinion columns, they’d make way more money going independent—via X, YouTube, Substack, etc.—than rotting at the Washington Post. It's why they all eventually become mouthpieces for different government factions.

Who is going to make the first product that allows your BTC IRA to receive in-kind contributions? Im sure it's a bunch of legacy and regulatory issues that don't allow it, but as a savings tool it would be a magical experience

I feel my thoughts on nostr have settled here as well Without a major app with pmf embracing nostr I think it will remain hobbyist and niche which, as you mention, isn’t a terrible thing. However it will not just grow because people care about censorship resistance. The great product makers have to choose it because of those properties and create something people love (and need) using it. We can’t rely on users caring about those properties, because they never will. *Side note* I have similar thoughts to this about ecash as well - particularly the grant criticism - but I don’t think we are ready for that conversation yet.

Been going down a serious Tool rabbit hole lately I’m honestly embarrassed I always knew they were good, but I didn’t understand they were the rock music equivalent of an orchestra masterfully dropping mind-blowing rock symphonies

Not sure what this means to you but to me it means we are losing This very well could be a white elephant for stripe — and I probably think it is — but btc solutions for payments are not top of mind for anyone right now I truly believe internet native value transfer NEEDS to be using btc rails as it’s the most decentralized and censorship resistant. The rails here are neither and that makes anyone using them — or seeing their utility and choosing them — vulnerable. We aren’t top of mind and introspectively we need to do a better job reaching the masses with our solutions image

As far as political grifts go I prefer this to the ordinary It’s loud, obnoxious, gross, and by all accounts despicable but at least it was opt in Which is different from every other politician that just grifts and gets rich with my tax dollars You can simply not buy it

I am 300 pages into the new #WindandTruth from Sanderson, and story-wise, I am enjoying it aside from all the woke nonsense I feel is so out of place. It's very disappointing and surprising as this one seems so much more in your face than all the other. I understand that "fantasy" probably tends to lean woke, and he probably got pressure to do it, but it's so blatant in this one that it seems like more bending the knee than anything else. I find it distracting.
