This is spot on. However I suspect the way crypto will reach the masses will map this phenomenon. Unless they will be forcefully enforced, and I suspect they can’t really do that, CBDCs are bound to fail. LN will be the middle layer that facilitates settlements on the fiat one. The idea of a blockchain is way too complex to be fully embraced only by virtue of face value by the average person that has already issues comprehending what the SWIFT system is, or how Visa and Mastercard work.

So far I like Damus very much. Snort is ok but I am not necessarily a fan. Gonna try this new one eventually! I am curious

I have been thinking a lot lately about why the social experience on Nostr is so much better than on Twitter. Last week I mostly logged in there to publish my npub, and even for such a short time I felt triggered by the content and the peopel.

In first place the absence of an algorithm editing and mediating the experience has a massive impact on the experience. Also the absence of a max string length to the notes improves expressiveness and avoids misunderstandings and people nuking others just because of absence of context to make sense of what people says. But it’s not only the tec spec… we’re all bitcoiners basically in here, this means that there is enough “social cohesion” to lubricate interactions and avoid useless friction.

How long will it stay like this? I honestly don’t know, and I fear that mass adoption might spoil this situation. But on the other hand, mass adoption it’s very good news for the world. I strongly believe that once Twitter won’t be in the picture anymore, the world will be a better place.

Just updated Damus. I am impressed by the improvement, the app runs smoother on my old iPhone. It seems that notification also are a tad better.

Yep. All art in my notes are AI generated.

Many people in the BTC sphere shit on Binance, yet again in the light of the concerns surrounding Silvergate, it proved to have no connections with them either as it was with FTX and other shady players in the past that ended up collapsing. Give the devil his due anyone?!

Remembering games… daisy chains and laughs…

That’s indeed the biggest risk…! That and collisions, if the time frame of reference is long enough, even the most improbable event will happen

I am splitting the hair here. I also trust cryptography but personally I wouldn’t post a record on a blockchain encrypted with a method that will eventually become obsolete
