Anyone know what’s the fastest embedded key/value store ? (Which is written in Rust or has a Rust wrapper)

I don’t care about safety and consistency, I need pure speed and disk space efficiency

Satonomics has been using for a while now Sanakirja which is quite good but needs a ton of space. Ive tried in the past heed (lmdb) and redb but they were worse performance wise, at least then, I might need to try again, am I missing another player ?

It seems to me your asking how price discovery works?

I see constant talk about how Bitcoin is the way of the future, how it's the answer, the solution to the corrupt and mismanaged fiat system, a revolution, a way to put the power back in the hands of the people, digital capital, how it has so much utility, how it is the perfect money...

But I never

ever

ever

see anyone talking about how we'll actually value it in a future where it has achieved the goal that everyone idolizes. Why? Why does it feel like there's no true long-term plan?

Lots of people say "don't value your Bitcoin in fiat", but they just stop there. They don't even bother with trying to extend that thought. I feel like this is a mistake to not take it further.

Imagine a future where Bitcoin has become our new primary store of value and we no longer value Bitcoin in fiat. How will we value it at that point? What will one BTC be representative of?

How will we determine this new system of value? How will we arrive at a consensus for it? Will this somehow naturally and organically grow out of the decentralized nature as the system becomes more and more widespread and adopted and used, similar to the dynamics involved in the emergence of the first currencies? Or will there need to be some form of committee formed to make a decision about how we value BTC? Will governments play a role in this?

All the talk of "0.1 BTC is all you need" and "whole coiners" is all purely based on fiat, and doesn't address anything about the long term future of Bitcoin.

I was wondering if people can tell me if any thought is actually being put towards this. I'd like to read about any progress towards this, or about thought experiments for it, or see videos or listen to podcasts that discuss it. So any kind of recommendation of reading materials or other information would be greatly welcome.

Memes and pithy hype quotes aren't going to do shit for us. If this truly is a revolution, we need plans, and we need to ask the hard questions and deal with the tough discussions and start to think about the goal we all dream of actually being realized. Memes and parroting "stack sats" are the lowest of the low hanging fruit.

#Bitcoin

When I was running nodeless, it shocked me quite a bit to see most regular businesses were turned off by a no-kyc, unregulated payment processor. It was pretty demoralizing, that what I thought was our best feature, turned out to be a detractor. In addition to ultimately getting us in trouble with fintrac.

If I had built a non custodial zap wallet and everyone continued to use custodians, I'd feel the same way.

But ultimately the lesson I took away from this was, we need to stop building products for each other based on what is said in the bitcoin echo chamber.

We need to build Bitcoin products that are easy to use and understand for normies, even if that means making trade off that we (Bitcoin psychopaths) may find offensive - like custodians and KYC.

This is my current thesis, anyway. Maybe the market is about to teach me another hard lesson.

I've heard a few different perspectives on Mutiny. Does anyone have any insight on why exactly they're closing shop?

Am I too old school to add my credit card to my password manager?

Are there valid risks to this?

The fact that bitcoin’s price is falling shows how it’s still correlated with traditional assets, and that the majority is not self-custodying all of which goes to show that 99% of people still don’t understand how fundamentally different bitcoin is.

Stay calm.

I am still trying to understand bitcoin's layer one energy usage and your talking about layer 3 already. Stop the world and let me off. 😉 How long can you hold and ecash token until you have to come online with the 1 and 0s?

Market Update -

The NIKKEI just had its biggest crash on record.

So far the biggest reaction from BTC has come from $49k which was the daily highs of BTC ETF launch day. For now I am waiting for the Monday range to form, as the knock on effect into the US open will be critical today. Watching to see if $53.2k (Prev Month Low) gives BTC some support by the end of today.

To receive all of my market updates zap me 100k sats.

STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS.

It’s an option in Damus. OnlyZaps.

Can someone explain to me what makes a 100x developer a 100x dev and how he differs from a good developer?

Pls explain in non dev words 😂

You tried to give him the shortcut.

But most people have to go through the Shitcoin pain to fully appreciate and get Bitcoin.

Lose $2000 in an HYIP for it to finally sink in to save in bitcoin?

67% of Americans can't even come up with $500 for an emergency expense today. Things whernt this bad when bitcoin found me in late 2016. 😅

How do we make sure people are getting the right information about bitcoin in a sea of disinformation?
