Greetings and Good Morning! I am new to this space and found out about it at Dweb camp earlier this month from Rabble who spoke about it and referenced one of my favourite books- The Cathedral and the Bazaar. I loved these two concepts/metaphors/memes but this is the first time I have truly encountered it and so I’m doing my #introductions and poking around! What fun! #Goodmorning

Thanks! Looks like this hashtag is working after all! Big Up yourself!
GM!
and welcome! :-)
what makes The Cathedral and the Bazar special to you? I haven't read it, but I'm intrigued !

Great question- and thanks for asking! Well I read it many decades ago and as an Artist at that time, I was intrigued by the idea that there was more than one way to gather and conduct commerce /trade/ buy and sell stuff. In Western European art school education the cathedral is considered to be one of the greatest architectural achievements of the Renaissance. However, it was built by the greatest meme makers of the day - organized and centralized Religions! By studying the history of art I already knew where that lead us through its insane proclamations of Manifest destiny made by European monarchs and their Popes —which were used strategically to enslave Africans and genocide Indigenous peoples around the world.. so the idea of a Bazaar continued to intrigued me but I could find few examples of that in so called American culture… (flea markets being perhaps the only similar thing)
Later, as I became a Social Information Architect, it was the structure of each and the memes /meaning behind them that continue to resonate with me…
NOW, here we are in a digital bazaar! #Nostr #architecture #structure #meaning

Hi ZenMeme! I'm new here too (since about a week ago).
Pray with me for bitcoin to go down to $30,000 by Sept 3rd (my next day to be able to buy a little more), and then shoots up to the moon on the 4th!! Thanks in advance!! 🙂
. ... just thinking... let's pray for a THREE DOLLAR bitcoin on Sept 3rd!! As long as we're praying we might as well think big!! Then my three hundred dollars to spend will get me one hundred bitcoin!!
Hey, let's add keeping our fingers crossed to the praying!! We want to cover all bases here!
Drinks on me on the 4th when it shoots back up to a high!! 🍀🍀🍀🍀

Funny how the fact that Bitcoin goes up and down actually benefits different people for different reasons at different times—-at the end of the day as long as it is gaining value over time it makes everyone happy! 😃
