If you’re upset about someone outstacking you, you should stack sats about it.

I just ignore the zapvertizing. Free sats.

I'd like to make a way where I don't even see the zap events.

Buy Bitcoin and MSTR and chill

Core/hips day at the gym #31days

The reaction that Twitter-only Bitcoiners have about NOSTR reminds me of how precoiners react to Bitcoin.

It’s not just indifference—it’s anger, frustration, or resistance to having to learn something new. They were comfortable! Then you came along and told them about this thing that changes everything. Why did you have to do that??

Just like with the current financial system, people grandstanding about X hits weird. Really? That’s the hill you’re going to argue for?

I get it—NOSTR isn’t “there” yet. There’s still a lot of idealism in it. But here’s the thing: a lot of these people tried NOSTR a year ago or 6 months ago and have no idea what it’s become.

Things change so quickly here, and for me, that’s one of the coolest parts. Watching NOSTR grow and evolve in real time is a pretty special thing to be a part of.

Sure, it’s not perfect, but that’s the magic of being here early. You’re watching something transformative unfold right before your eyes.

Thanks for reading!

The NFL Salary Cap was ~$34 million when it was introduced in 1994. Today the Salary Cap is ~$260 million.

Has the NFL Salary Cap outpaced inflation?

If you use CPI to calculate the 2024 value of $34 million 1994 dollars, the answer is a MASSIVE YES.

According to CPI, $34 million in 1994 dollars is equivalent to $72 million.

According to the government, the NFL is a massive success, however...

If we use the M2 money supply growth as the proxy for inflation, things look different.

Using M2 as a proxy for inflation, $34 million 1994 dollars is equivalent to $205 BILLION.

Nearly 10x the current salary cap.

Neither of these measures is a perfect proxy for money supply growth (inflation). No one knows how many dollars exist and more can be "printed" at any time.

That said, NFL players likely make less than their 1994 counterparts.

They just seem richer because the "non-rich" have gotten poorer by comparison in the last 30 years.

I make wine, not sense.

I buy #Bitcoin, not dollars

If we don't get a Bitcoin black market, all Bitcoin will be KYC, they are already doing it with the travel rule.

In the near future stores, both physical and online, will be required to report who has paid with Bitcoin, and who has paid with Bitcoin as it is not considered money will have to pay capital gains in addition to VAT.

If they find out you have a big pile of Bitcoin, they may not be able to take your Bitcoin but they can take your house or put you in jail.

This is why it is important to create a black market, if you can subsist outside the state you no longer need them, they are the ones who will have to lower themselves.

Binging on nostr nips and repos is eating up substantial amount of my time now.

Bulkish. That's a typo but I'll leave it there amyway 🤙😅

Do you think the state went after Silk Road for selling drugs?

No, it went after Silk Road because it was a truly free market, far from the collecting hand of the state, the sale of drugs was just a consequence of being a free market and anonymous.

The message of Silk Road was very powerful and dangerous for the state, we haven't had anything like it anymore.

The conviction against Ross Ulbricht is exemplary, to cause fear and to serve as an example.

Being in control of your fate, in control of how the machinery works, in control of what happens to your online identity. In control of what you may say and do.
