Don't you have to enter full name and email????

When I try to zap someone and I get this message it’s a buzzkill.

Dear Anon, setup your lightning wallet. You are missing out on the total experience.

It's been like 1 or 2 years? I dont like the time preference in Bukele's response. You gotta wait at least 8 years to make a call.

So. Your girlfriend or wife doesn't want to hear about bitcoin. Why do you think is that?

Just had an amazing interaction with a based (and clearly autistic) bag boy at the grocery store.

As he's bagging away at record speed he says " CORPORATE REQUIRES ME TO GIVE THIS FLYER TO YOU BUT I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THEY ARE NOT LEGALLY ABLE TO FORCE ME TO PUT IT INTO YOUR BAG AND YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT IT."

Then he holds up this "get your free flu shot!!!" flyer and I'm like "appreciate it man, you clearly read the fine print" and he responds "NO I DID NOT READ THE FINE PRINT BUT I THINK IT IS MORALLY WRONG THAT THEY ASK US TO SNEAK THESE INTO YOUR GROCERY BAGS. WE SHOULD NOT BE DOING THAT."

So I'm like "good looking out man, definitely don't need the flyer."

And he's like "GOOD. THEY CANNOT MAKE ME PUT IT IN YOUR GROCERY BAG."

And I'm like "appreciate you fighting the good fight."

And he's like "YES."

And by this time he's finished bagging everything because he's fast as fuck, and then out of nowhere he's like "AT LEAST THIS LATEST BATCH OF FLYERS DOES NOT SMELL LIKE DOGSHIT."

And the cashier is like "you probably shouldn't say that in a grocery store dude."

And he's like "BUT THEY DID SMELL LIKE THAT. I BELIEVE IT WAS THE INK THAT THEY USED."

Anyway, just wanted to share this story because it's a great reminder that YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMPLY WITH BULLSHIT, NO MATTER HOW SEEMINGLY SMALL, AND HAVING A TOUCH OF THE 'TISM CAN OFTEN HELP YOU SEE THROUGH THE BULLSHIT.

Nothing scientific and ignoring bot behavior, my experience has been that there’s currently far more thoughtfulness and intelligence on Nostr than on Twitter. At least for me, thus far. Of course, your own mileage may vary.

Anyway, keep on Nostrs ✌️

Let me be clear. If Kamala Harris somehow forces a 25% unrealized capital gains tax, the flight of capital out and subsequent collapse of the US markets would be absolutely breathtaking. And the ultimate result would be far lower tax revenues than we have right now.

Low transaction fees are great.

Cat jpegs onchain didn’t catch on I guess.

But..

It is also indicative of many people using custodial services instead of being sovereign key-holding bitcoiners.

Which enables fractional reserves, paper bitcoin and price manipulation.
