I've come back to this again just for the smiles and good vibes.
This is what social media should be. No thirst traps, original content, and happy feelings.
More like this on #Nostr please. 🤩
Wait... Where's my animation video I posted first? Did it disappear?
Woah, frozen nfts in Russia?
I knew they could take your NFTs off the marketplace after the report from moxie

But I'm curious to read more about "frozen" NFTs.
Banks are all about calculated risks and insurance and FCA/FDIC guarantees make it easy to prioritize profits over security since they can always recover losses one way or another.
Loans.
Without mortgages, people would just turn to the next best accessible loan.
In fact the most convenient and cheapest way to get credit that could be used to buy a house would be accessible to only the most privileged, so you'd just see assets become further from reach from the average person and rental homes would be the norm, industrialised since only big businesses, not even small businesses, could afford homes now.
Which application?

WHICH APPLICATION??
... Yoga
You know what I'm not sure about, is whether in the moment, I would fomo in as fast as I could, finding all sorts of ways to make money, or if I would sulk for some time before getting back in.
I think it would be the former.
Were you around when people were literally trying to fight for what the Satoshi symbol should be?
Might end up being annoying for developers, but this is how I see it going honestly.
These things are not really important and can be decided in regions and differ. Just like some people use periods to denote decimal point and others use comma but in the end we're all just talking about numbers using digits 0-9.
I used strike today, but I left the "turn all deposits into sats" feature on, so I missed the ability to buy the dip or DCA which was my original idea.

If you don't look carefully, it does look like a person drowning... 5 fingers.
Repitition. I brought it up with my best friend and family quite a bit and then started to back off because it was feeling like I was pushing.
You feel like a yo-yo because you talk carefully not to recommend any specific actions, and they outright ask "so should I put all my money in?" and "what's the cheapest place to buy?" (I'd rather they ask what the safest place is to buy or what options there are) and "would you look after it for me?"
I want everyone to go down their own rabbit holes, I don't want to be the scape goat.
Repitition just keeps the topics top of mind. So over years, as the cycles progressed, I think a few people went through the journey from the sidelines and they now respect that I have this useful knowledge.
They will all go down their own routes, I can say "Bitcoin only", but the cost of self learning is that people will make their own mistakes. They'll buy XRP and some shitcoins because they will take information from multiple sources.
All I did was to open their eyes and their minds so that they could start their journeys. I feel confident that when they make mistakes, they will associate those with the others that they followed and learn more about who they can trust.
It's a slow process.
Relays don't generate previews, they are dumb, they just serve content. The clients will do the work.
Because clients are not all online 247. People open their clients at random times, many clients may never see the content, etc.
They might use it to buy into the strategic bitcoin reserve.
My initial thought is no:
When mastadon servers share a link between themselves, they are all up at the same time and so they all rush to get a preview at basically the same time.
I imagine most users and their clients will pick up the shared link at different times, offsetting the load. So my hypothesis is that it is the mastadon servers that cause this, not the clients and therefore this will not have an impact on Nostr.
It would be nice to get a confirmation by a webmaster though.
