**Yesterday's Twitter outage and policy changes were Nostr advertisements.**

Decentralized communication on Nostr, in which data is transmitted and stored across a network of relays, offers several advantages over centralized communication, where all data passes through a single, central point of control. Decentralization increases the robustness and resilience of the network, as there is no single point of failure that can bring the entire system down.

We saw this happen yesterday with Twitter. Users could not just load up a different client or access a different relay to continue using Twitter. For those that were skeptical about Nostr, this was a beaming advertisement for Nostr's features and resilience.

Additionally, the decentralized nature of Nostr allows for greater user autonomy and control over their data, as they can store and manage it themselves, rather than having to trust a third party to do so. Twitter imposed rate limits and delays yesterday. Nostr is different. There are no rate limits. (Well, relays do have rate limits to thwart spammers.) There are no delays.

The differences between centralized Twitter and decentralized Nostr are loud and clear. The masses will continue to see these defining differences over time. Keep building.

比特币使用环节的缺陷

比特币不是普通大众能够玩儿得了的。

首先说挖矿，矿机价格已经不是普通大众能买得起的了，挖矿的各种知识和矿池等也不是一般人能够配置的。

其次，即使不挖矿，在中国拥有比特币很困难，购买btc渠道也不安全。

最后一点就是拥有比特币后，保存btc的风险。热钱包、冷钱包、字符密钥、二维码密钥等保存均存在风险，特别经年累月存放时间长了，密钥易丢失，比特币就永远找不回来了。这就像你把金条放到一个宝箱里，但是把钥匙丢了，你就是把珠穆朗玛峰当锤子也砸不开，你这辈子永远打不开了，除非500年后真正实用的超级量子计算机出现，才能把密码破解打开箱子，但是那个打开箱子的人不一定是你，并且也会摧毁全球比特币系统。

日常使用比特币时 ，万一电脑硬盘坏了或手机丢失，非常容易损失比特币，这是使用存储比特币最大最大的缺点。有哪个玩过比特币的人没有因为失手滴过血的请举手？

在玩儿比特币的人堆里，丢失比特币是时有发生的事。大家现在使用的支付宝二维码收付款方式就是从比特币学来的。支付宝就是因为解决了容易丢失钱的问题，并且继承了二维码收付款的方便快捷安全的优点，才得到了非常迅猛的发展。

认可比特币，但俺不看好。

That's me

I noticed that account i followed early on do not get shown in my feed. If i look the person up I do follow it and there is recent activity, yet not in the feed. Anyone else got it?

A tutorial would be nice. Running your own domain for the NIP05 is something I highly recommend!

It makes finding the person you're looking for easy with NIP identifier

Yeah it's good.

A few tweaks needed if i might interject.

We can't see NIP-05 verification and on the profile when you scroll only the lower portion moves while your profile picture and info stays there which makes the real-estate for posts really small.

Also when you try to add more relays like 20 or above the field you type in disappears under the keyboard. You type blindly and the "add" button goes into hiding. #[1]

Pura Vida, look it up on a search engine of your choice. 😜

I spent several hours tonight in an Ordinals Space speaking with them. It was me versus 12 Ordinal fans. I felt like I was in enemy territory.

I mentioned during the space that I don't want my financial transactions sitting next to an image on the Bitcoin timechain.

I mentioned that I don't feel right about Ordinals and Inscriptions essentially taking up 4X the block space, but not paying 4X the fees. They are consuming valuable space, but not providing the value to the miners. They're getting a discount and that's not right, because it feels like an oversight or an exploit. They're abusing the system.

I mentioned that Bitcoiners want to help the developing world by providing them with financial freedom. We don't want to draw all over them.

My main concern was that there are several worrying trends that are starting to pop up and we aren't even two weeks into this yet. I hope that if this trend continues that the Ordinal and Inscription fans will come together with the vast Bitcoin community and fix the problem before it gets worse.

Their main counterpoint was that Bitcoin is free speech and that includes artwork. While I don't fully agree there, I understand that argument. I also understand that no one controls Bitcoin and Bitcoin can do whatever it and people want it to do.

While I do not agree with all of this, I am looking at this as a win for Bitcoin. Yes, it's actually good for Bitcoin. I have had a dozen Ethereum maxis DM me so far and ask me how to run a Bitcoin node and how to run a Lightning node. I'm looking at this as an orange pilling moment. This is how we win.

Goodnight. PV!
