GM. One of the most underrated features of Nostr is that it enables me to pay people (anonymously if I wish) without their permission. I don't love that it relies on LNURL & look forward to the day Bolt 12 becomes widely available. The flow on effects of this aren't immediately apparent but I think they are significant. I want to live in a society that operates on a value for value standard. Where participants focus on creating value rather than being distracted by how they can in turn, be remunerated. This note isn't about altruism & I reject or ignore that framing. It's more about reciprocity & division of labour. About focusing on your skills, talents & passions. It's about experiencing the abundance that is already available to us. Thanks for Chocolate Stout @David Pinkerton ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿค™ image

Hmmmm I don't think that viewing the flow of Bitcoin in this way is helpful for individuals. It is not aligned with how the universe operates. I used to get quite upset with the unfair distribution of value flow. Why did Jim get a 4.5% bonus when I only got a 2% bonus? Jim's a smarmy kissass & produces nothing of value. I think I'm going to stop helping Jim look good, I might even go out of my way to show everyone what a peice of shit he is. The wisdom that helped me break this pattern came from a fortune cookie. It's a Harry Truman quote "It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit." There's some magic in those words. ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿงก
