Wrote an article for Cointelegraph Magazine regarding the battle between suits and cypherpunks in Bitcoin. Includes comments from nostr:npub1tr4dstaptd2sp98h7hlysp8qle6mw7wmauhfkgz3rmxdd8ndprusnw2y5g, nostr:npub163wwzc4vnthguqcvjplfyccw706rwue2wgym4mu22r4rqkvhzkmqdd9xf6 from Bitcoin layer-two network Citrea, and bitcoin-ETF issuer 21Shares.

Just noticed that the Wikipedia entry for Dead Internet Theory was updated to refer to it as a "conspiracy theory" in the past year.

Who would be motivated to make such an edit?

a combination of novel monetization methods for creators and tokenization of that monetization is how nostr could overcome x's network effect.

by tokenization i mean investment in revenue generated by the content creators, not useless memecoins or nfts.

what sort of progress has been made in these areas?

haven't been here much over the past few months. what are the most interesting #nostr apps right now? saw there are some apps trying to mimic reddit.

Can’t even read my own tweets

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Don’t forget to give an Irish Goodbye to the legacy financial system with #Bitcoin!

It is sometimes difficult to zoom out and realize bitcoin is just one part of a larger set of tools. This is even more prevalent in "crypto" where a blockchain is viewed as the solution for every problem.

I think nostr will mostly be for those interested in bitcoin and related tech for some time. But that’s ok because I expect this segment of the population to also grow.

still ~90% twitter, but nostr’s share is slowly increasing

A setting to require people you don’t follow to make a tiny payment via Lightning to reply to your notes will be useful once the reply bots arrive. #nostr

It’s hard to tell what’s missing between clients and what notifications are just in different orders. I received a zap the other day, and that now appears to have disappeared from both clients’ notifications.

It seems the list of relays you use are also stored in the relays though? Iris and Damus already have the same exact relays set up for me.
