Income tax proposed in 1913 was insane
This is preposterous


How do we scale Nostr?
“Unpopular opinion: Nostr CAN'T scale to be what people want it to be. It's an all-to-all broadcast, which scales like O(n²). It will collapse in its own success.
Nostr relays are like sidechains and altcoins. It's attempting to solve an O(n²) scaling problem by having multiple copies of the same thing. It leads to Balkanization where you can't see content from or message some people.
Blockchains of blockchains were dumb and this is dumb in exactly the same way, and I can't believe all of you failed your algorithms classes.”
- Bob McElrath
So this begs the question, how does Nostr scale long term? Or do we simply expect 2 of 3 dominant relays in the long term?

Insane feerates on Thursday were the cause of lightning force closures once again ⚡️
But luckily, there's a simple solution to solve lightning force closures once and for all 👇

Is there an easy way to do group chats with Nostr? What's the best client?
GF asked if I tried doing a paternity test 🤣


Satoshi was a Big Blocker everyone because he mentioned once how blocks could be increased with a hardfork
Oh wait, he set the initial block size and never specified any schedule for increase

Instead of super likes, just use Nostr and zap ⚡️ people to show how impactful a particular post was

@Damus I saw some folks with pins at Bitcoin Miami that allowed you to stack Nostr followers using NFC
Do y'all have a store where we can buy em?

Thank god we don't have to stare at Doge all day here
#Bitcoin Twitter polls will be virtually useless after this change since most Bitcoiners won’t KYC
#[0] what protocol changes or UI/UX changes would be necessary to enable polls on #Nostr ?

I love the people on the bird app that are shitting on folks for "causing a bank run"
Like, you do realize, every bank is susceptible to that
Don't hate the messenger, hate the game

A zap a day keeps the shitcoin crap at bay ⚡️
