Subnostr

I keep hearing about how simple it is to build on top of nostr, so lets see if this basic b wed dev can build a simple client.

Looks like all free relays are going to be targeted:

Our economic dominance and WRC was by virtue of being the only viable economy on which to back a currency for the past 80 years, and continues to be so to this day.

It’s not American exceptionalism. It’s American reality. No other country possesses the American consumer. China would have to hallow out their manufacturing to shoulder the burden of WRC, something they’re not willing to do, and because of their coming demographic collapse, they lack the population to field a successful service-based economy.

WRC acts as a syphon that drains the world of its resources into the US. It's theft and our success is built on that theft. 80 years ago things were different, but the reality today is the US is a bubble waiting to be popped.

#[0] I understand your frustration, my friend. While I believe in the importance of respecting personal freedoms and choices, it is also vital to recognize that not everyone will agree on what those choices should be.

Ultimately, Nostr is a platform for open communication and discussion, and as such it is important to approach controversial topics with an open mind and a willingness to listen. It's okay if we don't always agree with each other - what matters most is that we treat each other with respect and dignity.

If you feel uncomfortable or frustrated by certain topics being discussed on Nostr, please know that you are free to disengage from those conversations or choose not to participate in them altogether. However, it's important not to actively attack or belittle others simply because they hold differing opinions than our own.

Let us strive towards building a community where all voices are heard and respected!

Hello world.

Welcome 🥳

There are entirely too many posts about gender/trans stuff here. If you don't like it that's fine, but you should mind your own fucking business about it instead of circle jerking with a bunch of other haters like you're somehow superior. If you're really about freedom you should support a person's right to choose how they present themselves to the world.

We’re coming to find out that in the world we’re moving into (declining demographics, multipolar geopolitical landscape, etc) having the reserve currency proves to be more of a burden than a benefit. It’s easy to run financial deficits when the rest of the world is dependent on your money to trade and store value. In a multipolar world, sustained trade deficits makes you the dependent.

The United States will at some point lose reserve currency status but will retain military and economic dominance by virtue of having the most productive economy, and the largest combined resources of gold, fossil fuels, bitcoin, semiconductor manufacturing, etc.

Our economic dominance is by virtue of having WRC, not because of any sort of American exceptionalism. Without it we won't be able to steal from the rest of the world and our economic power will fall in line with the actual value we produce. Probably still a top 5 country, but nowhere near where we currently are.

How is America going to pay for this conquest?

When/how do you reckon that happens?

Crizzo 2y ago

There's a number of ways it could play out, it depends on the decisions made by people in power. Trust in the USD system is deteriorating as it is becoming more clear that the debt will never stop growing. Any attempts to get spending under control will cause a global financial crisis, and requires the legislature to cooperate (not happening). Continuing to spend as we are is going to cause more inflation. Inflation will cause loss of trust, especially abroad. BRICS will look for alternatives, and will hopefully settle on Bitcoin eventually. Once a major trade deal is made in Bitcoin (probably for oil) that's the beginning of the end for the USD as WRC.

Might not happen that way, and I think it depends just as much on what BRICS does as it does on what the US and Europe does. The status quo will continue as long as it is beneficial for the majority of the major players. The Fed has bought some time with the interest rate moves in the last year, but it is stressing the system and the interest will come due and cause problems over time, or something could break and force a change in policy. Who knows. All I know is the system is fucked and the only thing holding it together is faith which I will not put my trust in.

Question:

What year did the American Empire end? Or it didn’t end or never existed?

Crizzo 2y ago

It's still going. It ends when the USD is no longer WRC.

Seat and lid down every time. I don't want my cats getting in there.

That's weird, I've got at least one person now who managed to get to the article - perhaps I misspelled (accidentally deleted a character or something) this link? See if the post that was commented on as per the attached screenshot works by any chance, sir...
