Never measure success in fiat. It's like measuring distance with elastic bands.

An extremely enjoyable person to betray.
NOSTR doesnt solve for limiting transfer of identity.
It's okay for bitcoin, because transfer is the whole point, but whats stopping someone from selling their nsec to someone else, or sharing its credentials?
This forces some use cases into asking for names, pics, and other KYCish info.
Bitcoin is no exception to Mises regression theory, that argues good money requires a base utility purpose, it requires a commodity use.
But Bitcoin IS a commodity.
Bitcoins are the only material that the Bitcoin network accepts to publish data on the timechain. It is first a substance that is used to log entries on that database, and secondarily, but more commonly used as money.
Mises dudes can't see that.

Horrified to learn i've had a lot of my follows, all my twitter imports were rugged and now ive dumped twitter, its back to manually adding people IF i happen to see them re quoted.
Not much in the way of 'suggested follows' in clients, and that will be stemming network growth.
Sad bit about the farmer protests is that of the local farmers around me - I know they could never use their equipment to protest because they borrowed so much money to buy it, if it isnt in use for a wekk they'd lose it.
Debt against farms and farming is truly to run a slave plantation at arms length.

The reason to learn a language is to understand literature in the home tongue, not to order a coffee or ask for directions.
German: La Damnation de Faust
Italian: The Divine Comedy
Spanish: Don Quixote
French: Voltaire, Dumas
Russian: Dostoevsky
Being born in native english is a blessing and a curse. You never need to learn another language, but you never know another language.
AI will never fix this. My dream would be native Italian just to read Dante properly. Translations will never ever ever fix this.

Ethics is the science of religion.
yehhhh it's not though is it.
I own rice futures, and self custody the futures note, so therefore I have self custodied my rice.

They send retarded women because when they inevitably get shot down - it's not because they're fully retarded, but because "Bitcoiners are sexist". The classic "crybully" / victim-narcissist play.
Don't feed the boomer trolls, just keep front running them and renting their tacky, dunning-kruger houses as the prices fall away and their stocks, cash, pensions and bonds collapse.
Good faith deserves good replies - everything else should only be met with silence and hard stacking.
They'll never see the light - but they'll eventually feel the heat!

Twitter is bad for your brain. Really really bad.
The NOSTR is the unrefined diet for social media, and soon, much much more.
Psychopathy runs riot on the internet, and the "Bitcoin Community".
NOSTR fixes this.
El Salvador passport - or 23 bitcoin at the dawn of the bull run??
Photo of a cat is worth about 200-2000 sats depending on how much clout you have.
What is a medical consultation worth? Or a welding course from a master welder? Or a remote apprenticeship? Or a Bitcoin Diploma?
NOSTR fixes this by tying competence and verification to a key pair as strong as a Bitcoin wallet.
The software is not the business. It's the loss leader.
Better uses cases - not better social media clients.
