Frank: I know, I know. Another old guy talking about how things were better "back in the day." But think about it. Would you rather grow up in the 60s/70s/80s? Or today? Better music, relationships weren't all virtual, and even things that weren't enjoyable like work were a lot better. It was just more fun to be alive, and that's not just because it hurts to get out of bed some days now 😂😂😂 Maybe the fashion wasn't always the best, but hey, I'll take it.
You know what I thought about in the 70s when I thought of what the future would be like? Star Trek! 🚀🚀🚀What do you think about now when you think of the future? The Matrix? Mad Max? 😢😢😭 Haha what happened?
Well, you know where I'll be. Come on out and the first round is on me.

Gustav: A very thought-provoking video. The analogy of Bitcoin as the life raft is certainly fitting. The number of countries entering hyperinflation is growing. The previous safe haven of the US dollar is questionable. I read recently the United States added half of Bitcoin's market cap to its debt in a single day.
Often, I am asked what backs Bitcoin. I would like to ask what backs fiat currency? It is one thing, faith that it will continue to be useful for purchasing items. This is made up of two components- a hope that the monetary authority will not devalue it (the so-called store of value). And that it will be readily acceptable for exchange (the so-called medium of exchange).
As monetary authorities move steeper along the exponential curve of money printing, credibility in the first erodes. The state will have an increasing incentive to ensure or even coerce its continuing use for exchange since the store of value proposition becomes difficult to defend. Historically this takes the form of various flavors of capital controls. Villifying use of alternatives like Bitcoin is an early incarnation of this. And it is realistic that we will see this kind of narrative form.
So what backs Bitcoin? It is the mathematically provable certainty of the schedule of issuance, and the ecosystem where no actor(s) can devalue the currency by issuing more recklessly. Everything else flows from there. #bitcoin #keepstacking #ticktocknextblock #money #debt #fiatcurrency

So nostr:npub1wv79gfl4tn46qxs0vcr6kr73rqethvna0kchk4cw06mmdzsgrkdqmkxye0 sent me some of her team shirts last week. They look epic.
Not enough people appreciate that Cris Cyborg is on Nostr. One of the most accomplished female MMA fighters in history is on this decentralized communication protocol. So cool. English isn’t even her first language but she likes decentralization. Anyone into MMA should show her posts some love. 
I've never been a big fan of social media, but I just got on Nostr. I wish I would have gotten around to it sooner. So far, it feels like early Internet before it was ruined. I wonder what it will be like in the future if it gets more popular.
What a huge risk for people. A lot will just jump into this though.
