just trying to take one more small step to figuring it all out. decentralization, randomness, privacy, transparency, bitcoin, nostr, simplicity, peace

Bitcoin creates reslience and attracts reslience.

"Antifragile: Serhiy Tron Fights To Bring Bitcoin To Ukraine"

Felt like I wasn't seeing all the notes, so I added a bunch of the default relays back. Now the global feed is full of spam.

I'm listening to people I know whose paychecks might be impacted by the SVB collapse. Their company was fine, now it isn't. And on Friday, I finished reading your IMF article. Rug pulls screw over the regular people while elite politicians and bureaucrats "Keep calm and carry on...". So frustrating.

A bank collapse like SVB has real life impacts. A company can be running strong, suddenly lose its cash, and now can't pay its employees. (Meanwhile, folks like Peter Thiel are fine.)

If you're catching up on the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, start with this thread from #[0] 👇👇👇

Interesting thread from #[0] about how primary brokers could be pinched in a bank run contagion: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1634603026576015361.html

I saw the picture first and thought you were going to say it was puréed steak.

This post from @lopp was extremely helpful in filling in some gaps I had in understanding Nostr.

Working my way through learning Nostr. Today I set up a private relay and paid for a public relay.

Honeymoon periods are the best. A long, long time ago, there was a local winery that was a nice place to hang out. Then one day a group of loud normies showed up from the nearby city. The secret was out and that winery was never the same.

Initiating test post... Stay tuned for results...

Another great article by #[0]. A solid overview of what's at stake and the competing views. It's a great starting point to give to friends and family who are new to the subject.
