Thoroughly enjoyed this at the end your recent chat on CD, more tunestr!
Sometimes it isnāt enough to use Bitcoin as a barometer for the health of financial markets.
On a personal level the time between when you first dismissed it and then later accepted it could be thought of as a measure of your humbleness (and acceptance that you could be wrong).
Donāt ever lose that humble streak, especially during this bull cycle when you may feel like a geniusā¦remember, youāve already self corrected once, which means you may need to do it again!
Sure @ODELL would agree, stay humble, stack life lessons. (ā¦and sats ofc, always sats).
GM! Iām putting in a solid 17-20miles this morning.
Get out there and go for a walk, as much or as little you as like. Guarantee youāll feel great afterwards.
Just one foot in front of another. Step by step, block by block.
So you're a developer and you want to get into helping with OS Bitcoin, Nostr or adjacent projects and you're just not sure what projects are out there?
Well how about starting by taking a look through GitLurker?
Use the tabs to find a category you think you're interested in and use the category key to find a project that looks interesting. Take a look at the latest version and release notes.
Or visit the repo page to get some idea of if there is work to be done and who to contact. Then head over to the GitHub and get stuck in.
Keep checking back to see if other similar projects need help or explore whatever else is out there and let me know if there are any specific projects that need adding to the list. I'll continue to work through the backlog and add these asap.
Happy hacking!
Also, I know youāre not of the school of thought as Harari. Nothing Iāve heard from your content has suggested that, which is why I called out that it was not what I thought you meant.
There is the nuance! Boom š„
Now read back what you said without adding the context, ie. that you knew you were talking about specific social dynamic/interaction.
We talked past each other, what you thought you said and what I heard were super different. Think we all (self and others) to get out of this Twitter mindset of saying a few words (or reading in my case) and thinking that clearly sums up a subject. We lack depth and end up with missed communications.
I wonder how many other people would read your words and commented their agreement, but in their minds they were taking the social queue that āHodl is affirming my stance of being selfish in all of my interactions with othersā? Not what you said, but what could be heard.
Anyway keep up the chat and content. Got you next up on Fountain in the queue with WBD. Looking forward to the listen. š¤
Agreed, apologies if I misunderstood your point. It was the āare you useful to me?ā comment I got hung up on. As it appears to suggest that people would only be make inter-personal decisions if other people are āusefulā to them. Which is only true for individuals with sociopathic tendencies i believe. It is also the same argument that Harari uses when framing his world view.
I will also point out, two things can both be true, simultaneously:
1)- Bitcoin leverages some of the elements of selfish human behaviour to provide security and manage incentives
2)- Not all actions humans perform are motivated by selfishness
These are not mutually exclusive.
Careful, that is borderline Sapiens-esque thinking. It pre-supposes that all motives are driven my selfish behaviour. Which is fundamentally wrong and gives a false (albeit seemingly intuitive and WEF friendly) impression of human action. If this were true there would be no Bitcoin, no Open Source movement and no cypherpunks.
Not forget the nuance, the details and apparent outlier cases are important!!
Enjoy your work and get the impression youāre a deep thinker. Donāt fall for that oversimplification of human action trick.

Haha, brilliant!!
Hahah, brilliant
GM nostr!
If you find it hard to keep tabs on all the developments in Bitcoin, Lightning, Cashu, Nostr and beyond then consider checking out GitLurker.
It is just an overview of recent updates pulled directly from GitHub.
Feedback welcome!
