Spring salad transplants ready to go!

Getting the baby outside to enjoy the cherry blossoms. It’s been a lovely, cool, windy day.

A bunch of crows (at one point, three at once) showed up today for peanuts. Hungry because they’re nesting, maybe?

#Fallout S1 is lit!

yes the time works. i have done chats on nests before. i can set it up at 9pm your time and send the link here for others to join. what day do you prefer?

you are one hour ahead of me.

who will set it up?

can you send me a link?

what time zone?

ok. let's do it

in ancient times people bartered cow halves vs craftsmanship to build a ship. it became too inconvenient because you need to own exactly what your trading opponent wants. that is why money was created. it started with promissory notes which were covered by gold. finallly the banking system was created. all moneys failed when the notes or the banks went out of reserves.

today many different moneys exist. money gets adopted for convenience and for low fees.

people feel comfortable even in a fiat ponzi scheme when they can conveniently pay with their cards and even get 3% refunded of their purchasing price. settlement is 6 months. they can return or dispute anything. it does not matter to them that the usd or eur ponzi is losing value every month because they have their wealth invested in shares and real estate and both always makes up for the loss.

how do you motivate these people to switch to using btc with super high fees and immediate settlement? they laugh at you when you tell them it is money.

you can't.

even in el salvador where it is legal tender no one uses btc as money. i was there several times.

that is why you run ito a wall when you try to convince people.

if btc was money it would be mass adopted immediately

satoshi designed bitcoin as money over the internet with very low fees

read his communication. i did. i read all emails of satoshi.

"btc has nothing to do with satoshi"

adam block from blockstream testified in court under oath recently

it was crippled as money to force users into different custodial solutions like lightning and liquid

it is not money

learn about it

why money was created

what money is

no adoption with high fees

I feel like it doesn’t make sense for there to be more than one “proof of work coin”

That is literally wasteful and dumb, and pointless. That’s a main reason why Ethereieuem™️ switched to PoS (just my theory)

lightning is proprietary crap.

it is centralized, run by large corporations who subsidise the fees for now. their goal is to make large profits from those fees. miners see nothing of their gains. all fees go to those centralized companies, not to miners.

lightning is not secure. you can easily lose your funds. many people including myself have lost funds on lightning channel. they get forced closed in many situations, you need to be online all the time or use custodial accounts. 99% of users have custodial accounts, not wallets. cash, strike etc are NOT wallets, they are accounts which require you to hold up your passport with a selfie and send it in. they want your telephone number, email and they own your funds, they can do with your funds whatever they want. they can block your money, steal it from you. it is the same as paypal or venmo.

finally it is mathematically proved that lightning does not scale. even the most hardheaded btccoiners agree.

Which ETF will be the first to get hacked, and what will it do to the price?

#Bitcoin #asknostr

in one year bch has done much better than btc by 100%

shows you that it does not matter what you buy

but when you buy it

btc has shown poor performance vs tech shares

we were talking about money and you changed the topic

We should get back to discussing important things, such as markdown in kind 1 notes. Just basic bold, italics, underline, bullets, quotes, code blocks, etc. for formatting.

*ducks*

use what works best for you

btc is not money

fact

now we have the blockstream version of btc with small blocks

crippling btc as money

bch works, 21 m coins, can be used as money. try it out.

lightning is terrible, not secure, does not scale, does not fund miners

you need to grow up and stick to the facts

Life's brought some changes, making the work I was doing kinda impossible to do, for now. I have a lot of time on my hands and while I heal I'm discovering the online world more, like this nostr, btc and often I read the words 'help build'. I'm thinking what options do I have, for I know little about computers. So was just a spontaneous question when I read your profile words, could be I'm not made to work behind a pc for hours on a day.

I still need to discover open ai, have been playing with nostr ai unleased. So seeing as much is digitizing I feel it could be useful to develop some skills.

🙏
