I predict you will zap me

Easiest prediction I will ever make.

The more wealth and power bitcoiners attain, the more they will imitate the current ruling class’s desire for control.

I’ve been a bad kitty. I scroll right past all the vlogs 😅

Okay so i propose people who have been in nostr for a long time are not OGs rather Hipstrs…

Things I am looking forward to seeing AI get rid of is the right wing, racism, and religion.

I want to see how far we can push Amethyst into both the decentralization and privacy dimensions. The next step is to implement Pokey and kill our notification server. Then Negentropy and local databases. Then open more Tor exit nodes to split the traffic. Then go back to P2P research and bitchat. Maybe MLS and cashu wallets too. Hopefully you all can help us fund all of that. :)

If you believe Jesus is Lord and your savior send me stats. Praise the lord. Giveth to receive!

Paternalistic compassion is one of the biggest threats to freedom.

There should be a name for when the market overvalues your company so much that you print new shares to buy bitcoin to justify that crazy paper valuation with real assets. Is that some type of shareholder valuation insurance? People have done this with land/gold/etc, but they never had a name for it. Isn't that how holding companies usually operate? Maybe it is just the same old "arbitrage". It's just too generic. AI doesn't seem to know a name.. so.. perhaps we need to choose one for these newer times.

nostr is pretty much ideal for vibe coding. you can rapidly test product ideas, and if they are good they can quickly be integrated into the wider network.

it doesn't matter if the vibe coded app is good client, what matters is the experience it showcases and the data it generates.

This idea that Nostr is "immutable and verifiable", as in being a single source of truth, is the biggest lie in Nostr. So many people misunderstand it. Yes, you can verify **individual events** by their signature... **if you have them**. That's a big if. Authors can delete these events at any time, and once they do, your client will also delete them from your local database. They can ship new versions of replaceable events, and that will make things disappear in your local DB too. If your Client was not active, it would have never seen some of the changes in the first place. Once that happens, you can't "verify" anything anymore.

Nostr, as a database of events, is only "immutable and verifiable" if you have a special relay that can track and store all regular and replaceable events as they happen and reject all types of deletions at all times. There is no way around it. And that relay is a **trusted** entity, since there is no way to verify if that relay hasn't deleted anything it doesn't like. Events have never been "immutable". Events by themselves are only verifiable if you have them. A chain of events is not verifiable unless you secure the storage of the entire chain by yourself in real-time. Nostr doesn't do that for you automatically.

Nostr is not a blockchain. Stop thinking it is one. It was specifically designed to NOT be one. It's not a problem to be solved.

What’s the best 9-11 conspiracy documentary to watch with my wife and 18-month old son?

someone should make a cookbook called “cooking with engine lubricant” and it just has a bunch of dishes that use canola oil.

Only wealthy, lucky and extremely skilled people are telling everyone to have kids. Regular people like me should not have kids until they reach financial, emotional, and career maturity.

😂

Ԍood Ⅿorning and pura vida, nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 💜🫂🤙🏻

"If you build it, they will come."

How could it become a CDBC? Bitcoin is global. In my opinion, bitcoin has no boss and has already 'won'.

I’m voting for Donald Trump.

When Ross is released from prison and stands on stage at the bitcoin conference in Las Vegas, I want to say I played a small part in creating that moment.

If you don’t want to be a part of that fine, but don’t cheer with us as we celebrate.

You did nothing to facilitate his freedom.

it feels like 1971 out of every 2016 posts bitcoiners make have some numerology behind them

I don't get it

Younger me: this instant coffee is disgusting 🤮

A testing-grounds question to nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm users 👇:

🌐 Would you use a paid #Nostr relay, that promises to store and broadcast notes and other stuff... only from accounts with NIP-05 getalby.com verification?

Or also those with @getalby.com LN address?

Or should it work with all paying users?

If yes - how many sats would you spend per month?

I’m dying.

And so are you.

Stop pretending like it’s not happening.

It is.

You are going to die.

You don’t have a choice in the matter.

But are you going to live?

That’s entirely up to you.

Never thought of it this way but kids have a hard time sleeping if they didn’t run around during the day and adults have a hard time sleeping if they don’t feel exhausted 😴 🤔

Maybe we just all need to feel exhausted to sleep well. Or am I oversimplifying it? Tired parents seem to confirm this.

Well we’re talking ideals. Obviously not every relationship will fit into either of these frames.

The red pill crowd seems to think that the ideal relationship is where sexual market place value is a 1:1 match.

In their worldview this means a successful 38 year old man marrying a hot and chaste 23 year old woman.

Contrast this to the traditional Christian marriage, where both parties enter young.

The man gets to enjoy the youthful beauty of his wife and the wife gets to build with and capitalize on the future success of the husband.

They grow together over the years each having a turn at being the more “valuable” partner. All of the value being captured within the marriage. Instead of spent outside the marriage.

Then tell me which do you think is more “ideal”…

i've done the math. 1 sat = 1 sat.

Is there a point to homework if you forget those things as an adult and tools like ChatGPT can solve it for you?

How is school justified in this post chatgpt? Is the process of problem solving really taught in school or do kids just waste time memorizing?
