Man… I fucking hate apple… they really tweaking my nerve strings

I’m really liking the distinct Nostr experience vs the Twitter experience. Occasionally I cross-post something on both, but my decision in recent weeks to treat them differently has been very rewarding.

Years ago, I used to post on certain forums. But as someone with a big Twitter following now, I am more self-conscious of what I post there these past few years. It’s like, I feel quite a responsibility before I send something out to 600k followers, rather than being able to treat it rather carefree like I would treat a forum in the old days. Of course, once in a while I get provoked by something or I share something random and funny for no reason, but not usually.

Since the community on Nostr is still smallish, it kind of rekindles that more carefree feeling of just posting, talking. And I post less about economics, which is my main Twitter silo.

And because I want open protocols like Nostr to succeed, I deliberately want to be here, posting. So it is a win-win; I try to add value but also it scratches an itch for me that hasn’t been scratched in a while.

Maybe if/when Nostr becomes large, it will recreate that sense of filtering that I have on Twitter. But I would still consider that a success, because it means Nostr succeeded and I at least got to experience a smaller social environment for another period of time.

What I don't like about Sia.

1. People hyped it up as special, when in fact, it just copied major parts of another coin's model, which is much older. Am I the only one who knows that or are people just that dumb?

2. It's super slow.

3. You literally rely on some idiots around the globe to keep your precious data. Like, how probable is it, that those machines will definitely stay up 24/7 for the next 10 years?

4. All the downsides of other coins. Rather than making it a data-centric solution, it had to be another coin. 🙄

That’s because the economy as it stands encourages people to take unnecessary risks with their money just to try to get ahead. They think of bitcoin as a risky investment but that’s because the media tells them it is. They don’t look deeper. If you look at it the way you would like buying a home, i.e., 20+ years, the “volatility” is just background noise.

I’m not even talking about taxes. States will enforce that any way they can, even if the system is grossly unfair. My point is simply that most people are saving less and going further into debt while their currency continues to devalue every year, and they don’t realize there’s a way out of all these problems at the same time.

What did I miss today on #nostr? 🤔
