A good book or movie is good because there are external and internal conflicts present. Conflicts make things interesting and they engage people. That's part of the success of Twitter. Nostr needs more conflicts and fights for it to be truly interesting.
Compared to other commodity related industries, it’s pretty easy to migrate overseas with a bitcoin mining business. I’m not sure if the administration realizes this. The proposed tax is likely just virtue signaling, but if it really would be implemented - it could easily lead to a situation where capital and competence flow abroad.
Buy a miner with the money and start mining non-KYC bitcoin
Environmentalists are romantisizing nature. But the fact is that nature is brutal - so we need to be brutal back.
Elon has been outspoken about his pro free speech views. Could this data simply imply that Twitter itself is less self-censoring following the Elon Musk takeover, which inevitably would increase the amount of requests from governments (including a higher degree of legitimate requests than before)?

Why is there not a bitcoin mining based beef jerky brand already??
It would not be the first time someone claimed this. But I have to say I agree about how the sentiment ”feels”.
Most people who claims to be thinking ”in terms of bitcoin & sats” are just fooling themselves. Most of us are still living in a fiat world and have to relate to fiat in one way or another. It takes work to get out of that mindset, and probably most bitcoiners aren’t even close to living and acting according to a ”bitcoin standard”.
I’m almost hoping Apple would lose the case just to be able to to this for real
