Always be this way, NOSTR:

Paxful CEO Ray Youssef may have resigned but remember the correct stance he took on Bitcoin versus ETH.

Jesus. I just remembered I am arguing with an AI bot. What an idiot. As the past two weeks I have been telling Bitcoin Maxis to go have crypto people argue with AI first.

Part 2 on the EU article. Good luck with this regulation/compliance. Signed, -The People versus the Rulers <snip> Transfers between exchanges and so-called “self-hosted wallets” owned by individuals will need to be reported if the amount tops the 1,000-euro threshold, a contentious issue for crypto enthusiasts who often trade digital currencies for privacy reasons.

Huh?

CNBC

EU lawmakers approve world's first comprehensive framework for crypto regulation

The parliamentary blessing paves the way for MiCA to become law in 2024, putting the EU a step ahead of the U.S. and U.K.

<snip> Parliament also cleared a separate law which aims to reduce the anonymity involved in transfers of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and stablecoins, voting 529 to 29 to pass the Transfer of Funds regulation. This applies the so-called “travel rule,” which requires financial companies to screen, record and communicate information on both sender and recipient, to crypto transactions to help combat money laundering.

NOSTR unsure I can post this from Reddit. I love this “gravity” comment. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/12tchfe/regulating_bitcoin_is_like_regulating_gravity_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1

Many people hate this topic but I think it is important. In trying to get the word out on NOSTR, is it important to explain the history of the WWW/Internet. Interesting enough, the guy who bridged a major gap was Marc Andreessen with his work on the Netscape Browser (before IE/Chrome.) Marc has been incredible with what he has accomplished, browser, cloud computing. However, recently there was a huge public blow up between Dorsey and AndreessenHorowitz (a16z is how Andreessen wants to be known). It comes down to one rambling sentence for me. I can't believe people don't see the frustration/vision/passion of Dorsey when he is\was sounding the alarm on VCs like a16z and how their money/direction poisons true decentralization of the Web. (Never mind VCs $upport other poisonous Altcoins. VCs are there to make money and that is not decentralization.) The only decentralized Social Protocol: NOSTR The only decentralized Digital Property: Bitcoin Why don't more people listen to Dorsey and reject the money grubbing VCs/Banks who continue to ruin true worldwide decentralization and innovation. With 'the people' creating 'the content' getting 'the money.' Your beautiful vision continues unfolding Jack. Thanks Jack. People will laugh someday, "Twitter/Meta/Google didn't pay you for your content you spent hours working on as they profited not you?" <snip> 1) web1 (Centralized) = First iteration of the WWW, "Read Only" or static pages, much like the old days of Time/Life Magazine, you were shown what you could see. (e.g. AOL) 2) web2 (Centralized) = Where we are today, things went from reading to contributing. Here is where the term "Content is King" was introduced. It is still controlled by a select few, (e.g. Google, Meta, Twitter, blogging, podcasts). The companies own the Internet. 3) web3 (Decentralized?) = There is controversy here but the premise is the content providers will be rewarded for their efforts, not those hosting their platforms. The people sort of own the Internet? 4) web5 (Decentralized) = web5 is controversial but it was explained by Jack Dorsey early on why web3 is inferior. The premise between web3 and web5 are the same, reward the content providers, with micropayments. (Dorsey: Goodbye "Likes and Number of Followers", hello Satoshis/Sats.) But web5 NOSTR isn't a platform but a protocol See Snowden's description at the bottom of this. There is debate on how these projects will be funded, hopefully thoroughly vetted if VCs are in the mix. The most promising are funding projects/Bounties on Bounstr.org)***** <snip> https://bitcoinapolis.blogspot.com/2023/03/bitcoin-dorseys-web5-is-here-layering.html ====== a16z explained: AndreessenHorowitz A + 16 Characters Above + Z = a16z (clever)

Bitcoin is a scarce, digital commodity that will eventually be "regulated" by trying to impose a speed limit on something that is going the speed of light around the globe.

Too good not to share from Reddit. I love the FIAT/Bitcoin batteries example. Some times you just have to go to an 8 year old, instead of 80 year olds, to get the truth or see the future.

I wish Bitcoin had a theme song, I heard this for the first time and it is the weirdest song ever, I immediately thought of the incredible Yellow. Since Bitcoin is basically an outer space coin and that is what this guy wanted to be, I nominate this song. Most unique 'experience' ever and I am sure the altcoins would hate it. We have to put up with their noise.

This is about as Random as it gets, some guy on Reddit just posted 10 years ago "Bitcoin Roller Coaster Guy" debuted and got downvoted to 0. That's funny, some of the crappy memes today could even be Bitcoin Digital Gold tomorrow. Bitcoin is such an immeasurable beast/bitch at times. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/12lur2r/10_years_ago_bitcoin_roller_coaster_guy_made_his/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

On December 12, 1980, a company called Apple went public. The first quarter of 2016, a company called Berkshire Hathaway bought the first shares of Apple which now constitutes 40% of their entire portfolio. Warren Buffet took 36 years to see the value and technology of AAPL? As Publord tells us, "You get Bitcoin at the price you deserve."

Stop bowing to the idiots out there arguing with you on Bitcoin. Have them first convince AI and get back to you. (e.g. Start with Commodity, POW, Gold) You'd have to change Math first to change AIs 'opinion.'

Here is an excellent (shocking I know) article on Jack Dorsey and his new obsession NOSTR/Bitcoin. I am so damn proud of #[0] Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis wrote a song about him: C-O-O-L. https://www.politico.com/newsletters/digital-future-daily/2023/04/10/jack-dorsey-explains-his-new-obsession-00091279

Trying to get away from Shitter but it will take me a while, sorry if you see this twice. Just posted this to challenge Bitcoin Maximalism to use AI first to fight the detractors and distractors of Bitcoin.

I wish we could do a 'Flip the Bird' campaign to get people OFF Twitter and ON to Nostr. A gif showing the Blue Twitter Bird evolving into the Purple Nostrich?

Saw #16 on this list, had to share.

Flip the bird from Twitter Dog/Bird to the Nostr Purple Ostrich.

Do you all remember Hotbot , Altavista, and Ask Jeeves? This was all early day Internet, before Google Search. It was the Wild West and tough to navigate. No different than Nostr but I would rather help Nostr than help a fake Wild West Maverick over on Twitter shilling a dog turd meme coin. The more I look into Elon the more I see the comparisons of Bill Gates to Steve Jobs. Bill Gates bought DOS and was an expert marketing guy but not technical. Steve Jobs is more like Jack Dorsey expert technical guys and Apple/to Next/back to Apple went through Hell. Nostr needs a ton of work but man alive I would rather be here than on Twitter. I can't stand looking at the Doge i-CON. What a disservice, once again as the Crytpo bros try to drown out the Bitcoin Bros but time will tell and time is Bitcoin's best friend.

@#[0] is a billionaire working to better social media with Nostr and Society with Bitcoin. Elon Musk is a billionaire working to worsen social media with Twitter and Society with Dogecoin. See the difference?
