Oof. Broken Money is an insanely good book. Fellow humans… we are not batteries for the counterfeit class to drain. image

Day 3 of a nasty cold. Nothing to do but relax and read @Lyn Alden's Broken Money.

Nostr has me dyin’ today… So let’s talk domains and dating… NostrDating.com 💕 If there are any female product designers/managers out there who would like to take a stab at building a dating site on Nostr, reach out. If there’s enough interest, I could tackle dev after the NotABot refactor. Would have to be a shared equity agreement or something. Looking for somebody with a strong portfolio who can do a lot of the lifting in terms of ux/ui design. Could be a cool opportunity for the right person. Otherwise, the domain is up for grabs for 6.15 BTC. Firm. 😂

Can anybody recommend a Lightning wallet that tracks both the initial and current USD value of a received transaction? For comparative teaching purposes…

@jack I just listened to your podcast with @jack mallers and very much appreciated your identification of abstractions being core to the challenges we face as a society. I thought you might like this piece I wrote coming out of the pandemic about the pitfalls of human abstractions (and yes… the diagram is made entirely of Keynote icons. Lol). Coincidentally, I linked to this piece when applying to a job at Strike years ago. :-) My ultimate dream is to develop a village in the global south that teaches skills in permaculture, natural building, classical economics, and Bitcoin. The hero’s journey for me is untangling from the abstraction. Anyway, if you find the time to read it, I hope you enjoy it. :-)

Are there any fee notification bots floating around nostr yet? Something that’ll send a dm when sat/vB is below a certain level?

Excerpt from my final essay for history of western civ that traces Europe’s March from the 1600’s to modernity. I called it, “The Story of the Guy Who Hitched a Plow to an Ox and Dug a Hole for the Entire World.” 😆 “As Europe grappled with antiquated and failing systems of governance, the Industrial Revolution steadily separated people from the land and put them to work in factories amid grueling conditions adding to the tensions developing between the people and those with the power to govern. This separation from the land created a crucial, often unnoticed dependence on financial systems as the primary means for satisfying one’s basic needs. In time it would become rare for a family to grow their own food and build their own house. Rather families would come to rely on employment and a complex system of functioning intermediaries (colloquially known as “the economy”) for their primary means of sustenance. Rather than physical territory, money itself would become the new realm of power, and those with the power to print it - the new global monarchs. Today, bureaucracies are the bedrock of human life, rather than actual bedrock. Nature has bowed and debt has enslaved the world.”
