Kollider just announced his LN wallet (browser extension) with a strong Nostr integration. I'm absolutely not in love with the synthetic stablecoins concept, perhaps I'm wrong but it seems a magic trick where the loss is postponed to someone else, nonetheless I appreciate the effort to think about a temporary solution to the volatility matter to support the Bitcoin adoption.

Any thoughts about this?

There business model here is capturing all the bitcoin gains on that back of their users framing it as help and protection . Not a fan of this.

We can’t pretend Bitcoin being something it’s not just because it’s not something that it could be.

I was thinking exactly about this.

Plus for the Nostr integration. Stablecoins are a good on-ramp into Bitcoin in a practical sense (people are afraid of the volatility of Bitcoin)

Not sure if their particular implementation of stablecoin is safe, though.

My thoughts on this are philosophical. Put aside fear and worry and instead learn to love the volatility. Don't ever buy insurance. Let life be unpredictable. When bad things happen, it's a challenge, it's entertaining, and better entertainment than watching videos about what is wrong in the world because it is happening to you. When good things happen, smile and enjoy them. You own life will become more interesting and fun to live.

Sorry but the only thing I understood in your comment was "solution to the volatility". The rest was greek to me.

This philosophy is quite interesting, it reminds me of Nietzsche's "amor fati", it is not always easy to embrace it, but it could reserve interesting awareness. Thanks for sharing.

100% agree insurance take the fun out of life!!!
