Dude really tried to say that he was the reason Bitcoin price was rising from 2016-2020 🙄

PRESIDENT PLEASE NO MORE ELECTRICITYYYYYYYY

Hahaha I was thinking the same thing... and the saying "minutes away" every single time 🙄

It legit is higher after every commercial break.

Feeling the stress from having to keep delaying... MINUTES AWAY

David Bailey said "who better to lead the orange party than Trump" 🤣 🤣

Sure the end details of who will actually have it might be an opinion but the logistics involved with any one entity acquiring 4M BTC is not. 19% of all existing Bitcoin, and that's assuming we use 21M of available BTC rather than the much more restrictive supply estimates based on the amount that has been permanently lost (some estimates are anywhere between 4-7M permanently lost). Like the screenshotted post breaks down, it would be an immense, almost impossible, challenge for any nation to acquire that much.

Looping AI-generated scam videos pretending to be live from the Bitcoin conference asking people to deposit BTC to a random address and get double back. Watching it for a few minutes, you can see the mouth movement and audio don't match up.

The part I'm really confused by is how they made them have the live indicator and seem like they're from official YouTube accounts.

Are there scams going on right now where people are posting fake QR codes pretending to be part of an event from the Bitcoin conference? I'm seeing multiple videos on YouTube that seem like Elon trying to convince you to deposit BTC to some random wallet address in order to get 2x back for free.

Using @ and pasting their pubkey or username should work.

Thanks, I didn't know that.

What can or should be done about these failures to post to relays? I assume I wrote something that broke a rule, but I have no way to find out.

I tried to find some kind of list of policies or rules or something for each relay but wasn't able to find anything useful. Unless I missed it, they don't have actual websites with stuff like that listed. Just wondering if anyone has advice. How would you find out what policy you violated or why you were blocked? Is it even worth worrying about, or should you just add more relays to your publish list and move on? #asknostr

Seen on X, has me cracking up 🤣

"Ethereum is the mother asshole from which all shitcoins spring."

Any idea what actually caused that?

Very interesting, it definitely must be per-client. Here's what I see on Primal:

I say hell yeah to that... but only if you agree that it belongs.

I just hate the fact that traditional social media has made the decision for us because apparently people expressing honest dissent or getting their feelings hurt is not part of what *they* think should ever be allowed. Who gives a shit about what's truthful or right, *they* get to decide.

In noStrudel, it looks like it's just the minimum default reaction. Even if you delete all the quick reacts, you still have the + (thumbs up) and - (thumbs down) reactions.

What's interesting is that I used the thumbs down earlier, and when examining other clients, it doesn't register as a downvote and doesn't even show up in the list of reactions. I'm not quite sure if that's just due to the client itself or if something else weird is going on.

It definitely does not get reflected as a dislike/downvote on Primal, and doesn't even show up in the reactions list.

After getting used to it, I typically use the noStrudel client as my go-to... one thing I've noticed about it that's different from the other more "Twitter-esque" clients like Primal, Snort, etc. is that there's a like AND a dislike button, instead of just heart/like.

Does anyone know if this dislike/downvote button actually gets reflected on other clients in some way if you use it?

It made me realize that one highly underrated thing Nostr provides that has been forcibly taken from us on every other social media platform is the ability to express disagreement or dissent in a way that can't be manipulated or hidden. You can comment, but they can block/filter/delete that too. Maybe the closest thing that still exists is Reddit, but I know there's vote manipulation algorithms they run, so I'm not sure of the degree of honesty.

Interested to hear some other perspectives on this. I feel like downvote functionality is just as important as upvote for true, honest, healthy communication, but I'm not sure if I'm an outlier in that view.

Haha, this was my exact thought. Totally thought I was looking at an IV bag filled with bone broth 😵
