Funny how Nostr is a lot more like Mycelium then Bitcoin is.

Mycelium:

1. There is no Global: it doesn't need a global consensus mechanism

2. There is a second best, there are billions

3. When you break a piece off, it "forks" and continues to grow

4. When different pieces come together, they're interoperable. But the one most suited for the context gains a larger market share

5. It is most active at the edges

6. It can survive without energy for ages if needed

7. It has a layered currency system built in (glucose, compounded sugars, promises of sugars, ...)

8. It is an unstoppable communication tool + market place and is mostly valued as such by other organisms

9. It is not a store of value at all, at best it can keep count of glucose or mineral tokens

I should dig deeper into this and write some more, as someone who was literally growing gourmet mushrooms professionally 2 years ago #mycology #nostr #mycelium

i think nostr is going to turn out to be more interesting for money and business that people have any idea about

nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a mentioned the way that nostr would enable a way to pay anyone anywhere for anything via any way they want

still gotta build the "any way you want" part out - right now it's LN or the highway, but the vibes i get from the less popular cryptos is they see this as a way to build a social network that includes them

i think, include everyone, that's the whole point of it!

Yop! 💯

The only thing I disagree with is glucose being the token of value.

I think carbon bonds (not carbon itself) is the universe's currency because it's what contains the energy that drives living systems.

That's just a philosophical point though.

I agree!

Named glucose as an example of the top of my head since that's what I measure/manage for my liquid cultures of mycelium.

electrons are the tokens of value, that's why they are zaps xD

everything else is a means to this end
