Idk about this. Forcing a service worker to go on a quest to figure out how to use their $1-$10 tip is probably not a good way to orange pill. It's almost like leaving those fake bills with religious crap printed on them. Or more like tipping in a foreign currency. If I were those service workers and not a Bitcoiner I would be very annoyed by this.
I still use WoS for zapping. Phoenix has a base fee of 1 sat per LN transaction which is almost 5% on a 21 sat zap. Still like Phoenix for larger LN stuff though.
I haven't shut up about it for two years!
I sent 1k from WoS to Phoenix just fine.
I only just started using Phoenix. Seems okay, but I don't like being reliant solely on ACINQ for my channels. I need to get my node up and running again.
Yes that's weird. Please try harder to conform with the rest of society 😉
Interesting discussions, but I think they are all too focused on the "Twitter replacement" angle. I think nostr will evolve into a more community oriented social network, where people connect to specific relays based on their interests or geography.
Like let's say someone builds a client for people that like video games. They run their own relays that only work with that specific client so they can curate the content and cultivate a certain type of experience. Someone else builds a client only for cooking enthusiasts and does the same. A user interested in both could use the same keys and still find their people on both of there's overlap.
There's so many possibilities for nostr which is what makes it so exciting. Who knows what it will evolve into. Being a Twitter replacement isn't the only possibility.
Yes, but probably mostly in fractions of a Satoshi by then.
It's compounded by the fact that the economics people learn in school is utter crap.
r/economics is the Dunning Kruger Effect taken to the extreme.
I kind of agree. The exploitive US dollar WRC system is at the heart of a lot of conflict all over the world. Not only does it indirectly destabilize weaker countries, the US also directly medles with them to maintain its dominance.
I hate the fact that this war in Ukraine is just another excuse to fund the MIC, and I wish we would stop spending so damn much money on military and weapons. However I still feel like backing Ukraine is the right thing to do for as long as this conflict lasts. Putin's 1984 style stranglehold on Russia should not be allowed to spread. What he does to the people of his country is similar to what the elites of the US do to the entire world, but his way of doing it is arguably much worse.
I still play with options in relatively small amounts for fun. Mostly just selling covered calls though, not too risky. I wouldn't recommend trying to be a trader. You'll never beat the high frequency traders running algos.
I'm not even 40 yet and I'm already like that 😂
