SVB depositors will get rekt!

Startups won't make payroll and die!

Debt Ceiling won't be raised!

We'll print a trillion dollar coin!

The lady doth protest too much. I expect a bailout announcement in the next few weeks.

Bitcoin bros act all altruistic about "saving humanity from fiat bankers" until you ask a few questions and realize that they just want to replace that system with another system almost exactly like it, but where THEY are now the bankers.

Soylicon Valley had an oopsie whoopsie

Sorry, I'm not cool. NGU?

What happens when people die or drop their phones in the toilet or otherwise lose private keys, effectively destroying bitcoin over time?

The "pandemic of the unvaccinated" was a deliberate lie. The Lewisham and Greenwich Hospital Trust does not record vaccination status of patients in ICU, so the BBC made up data and sold us a vicious lie.

Where is the full list, I wanna see what shape Canada is in.

It’s moments like this in the fiat markets world where my Bitcoin position gives me immense confidence and a feeling of control. I know we’re not immune to the impending volatility but I know we’ll be the victors when the fiat overlords are only left with 1-option to save themselves: print.

What transparency would you like into the federal reserve?

Well, to be fair...When the justice system is completely broken and two-tiered, I'm not sure transparency really does "we the people" any good except to give everyone something to scream and shout about.

See: Nancy Pelosi insider trading, also Diane Feinstein, and okay pretty much everyone in Congress.

Do personal finance reporting requirements actually deter any elected official from making corrupt deals these days?

More risky than the allopathic quackery and poison-pill peddling of the medical industrial complex? Asking for a friend...

The government allows things that enrich the rich. The government does not allow things that enrich you, or even just leave you alone.

You are tax cattle, and you will continue to be tax cattle, no matter which currency you use.

I thought y’all liked my avo toast pics 😢

Yes - at its most basic level. But I also think there are tools that we can build that makes this easier, more granular, and improve the user experience. It could be labels that aid in discovery or labels that aid in avoiding hate speech, or even groups of labels that I might want to use if I’m working vs social vs doing research. My wishes and desires may not always be the same at any given point in time, or nostr gets so big, blocking every single troll becomes a negative and annoying experience. I just think we can improve the blunt instrument, while still maintaining transparency and choice.

I’m quite liberal with mutes and blocks- even decent people who sound like a broken record get thrown in the pile. Sadly.

I agree on the distinction between bots and scum, and scum’s rights to free speech, but I also wonder if there is a middle ground for users to make decisions about what they want to experience. I think this is walking a line, and nothing should be automatically removed. But, what if there were content labels that gave power to each person to opt in or out of certain “topics” or sentiments or xyz. This puts the onus on each of us to step outside of our own echo chamber and walk that line ourselves, and is really about developing tools that enable us to do that. Or do that in doses, as we see fit. I think transparency and high levels of configurability, if done well, could offer something valuable. I, as a user, reserve the right not to listen just as they reserve the right to speak

🤷🏻‍♀️

In a coffee shop the patrons have *no choice*. The person's voice is being imposed upon them against their will. With Nostr you have a choice -- block/unfollow. You can't "block" the screaming idiot in the coffee shop and continue on with your business. The two scenarios are not the same.

So yes, I agree, the coffee shop owner has the right to eject anyone for disruptive behavior. Whether the shouting is against Jews or in favor of loving your neighbor, it's still disruptive for the patrons who did not show up to listen to a screaming lunatic.

I believe that relay operators have the right to choose what they allow/disallow. That's the free market at work. My issue is with *imposing* or *demanding* that *everyone* follow one person or group's dictates about what should/shouldn't be allowed. Let the market decide. Anything else results in censorship and tyranny.

If you were at a barbecue , would you ask for a hotdog or a hamburger 🤔
