⚡ZAP IF YOU AGREE 💜 LIKE IF YOU DISAGREE 🌊🌊🌊 View quoted note →

It's clear that tipping/zaps/value4value don't work as a sustainable business model for anyone trying to seriously monetize here on Nostr. Put simply, not paying is the path of least resistance. What could have a chance of working is the ability to subscribe to certain (high value) user feeds and/or pay-to-read notes. It seems to me that this could shift the incentives and boost/increase the content value and creator economy here on Nostr.

I've always wondered how much capital the century of fiat money has stolen from our civilization—something impossible to quantify today. As such, we all struggle to explain to normies what's been taken from them via covert fiat slavery. It's like telling fish they live in water. Well, @Saifedean Ammous wrote an alternative history book about civilization and life without fiat madness. There's probably no one better to pull this off. Looking forward to finishing this one asap.

bitcoin is not volatile, fiat is, and the sooner there is a way to insulate ourselves from this hallucination, the better So far the whole broader view of Bitcoin has been formed by the single factor that's heavily manipulated and outside our control - BTC/USD exchange rate. This is predominant even in bitcoiner circles I wonder if any bitcoin merchants/services/offerings have implemented fixed pricing in bitcoin terms? Sounds like a potential suicide but it may be profitable in some cases long-term follow me for more retarded ideas View quoted note →

not sure if this is entirely correct, though it doesn't feel entirely wrong either NGU is just an expression of how much people value bitcoin at a given time. Things can be overvalued or undervalued at times based on sentiment. You can get lots of NGU and still lose some purchasing power since fiat is a flawed political metric. The real engine behind NGU is utility value, that's what has been working for bitcoin since inception - the real engine. Growing bitcoin economy. More goods and services, more payments demanded in bitcoin = more capital to work with, including more NGU. From bitcoiners perspective, what you actually care is number go down - constantly decreasing prices expressed sats and key indicator of bitcoin growth. From normie's perspective, sure - NGU is all that they see at first but we really want people to come and stay for the utility value and native offerings rather than having a digital pet rock for flipping on fiat rails. tl;dr: NGU is a dollar-centered, distorted view, not the engine. Real value creation necessarily involves risk and is expressed in NGD. Maybe I'm just retarded but the above seems more accurate to me😂 View quoted note →

you may not be interested in your daily high stakes global elite war criminal bankster pedophile blackmail drama but it is interested in you

there's no democracy under surveillance state there's no capitalism under central banking there's no freedom in walled gardens there's no peace and justice under the cabal of elite pedophiles, war criminals, and sellouts there's no hyperbitcoinization without bitcoin-powered information structure

it baffles my mind every day that most people think they live under capitalism

still plenty of time to do better though View quoted note →
