I think it’s important to analyze the questions. For an ecosystem to be successful, it has to be both technically sound and sufficiently incentivized, either economically or ethically.

In my opinion based on what I’ve seen and analyzed, Nostr relays will likely continue to be well-incentivized.

But I don’t fault people from exploring the questions as they seek to understand the protocol and potentially build a conviction about it. Instead I would only criticize those that start out with a negative conclusion before they explore the facts, and think in perpetually Malthusian ways about its prospects.

The fact that the protocol has bootstrapped to this significant degree for this significant duration, is already a rather positive sign. Too many people theorycraft rather than just observe what works, observe what fails, and keep iterating. Lean into what works. And so far, Nostr works.

Making fun of people for still using Twitter is like telling people to HFSP for not buying #Bitcoin

It's fun, but come off as an ass.

You don't know people's finances and you don't know what people use social media for.

Nice, did you use a template for the lines or it’s all brush/texter?

This is a #handmade paper from Thailand, I bought at a very small local paper store owned by an older couple. They were surprisingly inexpensive.

The owner said the people who have been making this paper will quit as no young generations want to do it. So I bought one of the last packages at the store.

#handmadepaper businesses are very difficult to sustain now. It is a very difficult work that require skills and you need to work with hands and cold water etc. Young people don't want to do, and it is not profitable I imagine.

As a consumer, handmade papers in general became super expensive (esp imported to the US). I have been wondering if there is a good way to support such businesses. They don't need millions of dollar. They need a consistent support.

This is a slowly dying industry as of now.

Anyone here do meditation?

The across the board mainstream media meltdown over the Trump/Elon open conversation is equal parts humorous and terrifying.
