Death industry is very large, everyone participates at some point.
BTC = Be The Change
This is nice.

I wish there was non custodial prediction market on Bitcoin. In the meantime I think the best alternative is Polymarket ( https://polymarket.com )
It is using usdc on polygon which is some Ethereum layer 2 or whatever. They claim it is non custodial and user has private key in the browser and can export it. No need to use metamask or any desktop software. So the only trusted part is switching from Bitcoin to poly usdc that has to go through something like sideshift or similar where they have custody during the exchange.
Hmm I wonder if we could build prediction market on Liquid?

How does it look on nostr? Who is author?
Decentralized Github.
"Radicle is an open source, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack built on Git. Unlike centralized code hosting platforms, there is no single entity controlling the network. Repositories are replicated across peers in a decentralized manner, and users are in full control of their data and workflow."
Design looks good to me. Written in Rust, uses modern cryptography (Ed25519 for identity, noise protocol for metadata communication). Architecture looks reasonably simple and extensible.

All that can be done already with multisig. And as with multisig the recipient is the one generating the receiving address. You can't force me to generate recursive covenants as receiving address any more than generating multisig with you as a recevng address. And the alternative without L1 development is that most people will use custody. Custody = we are back at KYCed permissiones banks.
No it's not, it's important context that many people don't know. Compared to segwit and Schnorr that were huge. You can reason much more easily about small code change. Of course that itself doesn't make it safe, but it is important to know this.
I am sad to hear that. As Andrew Poelstra says OP_CAT (with added limitations to fix the issues why it was disabled by Satoshi), is probably one of the smallest and safest soft forks we can do. It is just a few lines of code. If we can't do even this, it's very bad. We have to overcome the ptsd trauma from segwit activation drama.. All these recently proposed opcodes are MUCH smaller scope of changes that Taproot or Segwit softforks. And we can't frweez development of L1 of we want to support self custody for more people. It's either L1 continues to develop of custody solutions for most users.

Bitcoin is an amazing success story in open source software and community. Let's not let it stagnate, but keep it vibrant by improving its already amazing properties with restored (and renewed) script!
Use your Bitcoin. We saturated the curious and early adopters. Now bring the utility.
Great article by Roy Sheinfeld.
I would add this:
1. In western countries "better saving tech" is also great utility
2. Cross border remittances are great utility
3. Big yes to connecting creators (musicians, writers..) with consumers more directly w/o middleman. This has great potential. In these segments the middlemans are taking too much. But also we can connect creators and consumers more directly - fountain.fm is not just for consuming podcasts but also for communicating with the podcasts. Let's spread this model to other intustries.
4. Big strength of Bitcoin comes from the fact that it cannot be easily confiscated or devalued. But this is something people don't appreciate until it's too late. Paradoxically people in coconut countries has advantage here because they more clearly understand the issues with fiat money.

I added NIP05 to my nostr account using the whole domain (without username). So now I have a nice pinkish checkmark and "urza.cc" after my nickname in profile (at least that is how it looks on Damus).
It was very simple, following the guide by nostr:npub16jzr7npgp2a684pasnkhjf9j2e7hc9n0teefskulqmf42cqmt4uqwszk52
