I read the Bitcoin Standard, do you know if there is a lot of repetition in the Fiat Standard?

that feature is actually not bad at all. I'm not entirely sure how it works, but I think people self-select if something is sensitive when they post?

do you know if it's possible to hide sensitive posts entirely rather than just the content?

it's more of an issue when browsing content on #nostr generally, not with the people I'm following

I suppose that's a different topic altogether, but I see why you interpreted it that way from the words I wrote.

I personally still consider women to be women if whether they show their bodies or not. I should have worded that better.

What I was trying to touch on was the fact that many of the posts are made by people wanting to profiteer from content that isn't theirs. In particular people (or bots) who post other women's content and pass it around over and over again to get zaps or other forms of payment. That I feel, is degrading to the women who created this content as well as people being exposed to it.

Freedom is multifaceted, while one person is free to show their naked body to the world, the other person is free to decide whether they want to see that on a daily basis or not.

I never spoke about censorship, I understand that a free platform has the potential to have absolutely everything. On a personal level, I am free to decide whether I want to see that or not.

I know that if I was to introduce Nostr to many of my women friends, family and co-workers today, they would not feel comfortable with how women are portrayed by default.

This dude called simon2940 on instagram does the most fascinating recordings of the sun using his own equipment. Fucking love the sun. Just look at that 🤯

hey, look I don't mind the occasional bit of sexy #nostr but is there an easy way to hide all the egirl and porn stuff?

I think women are people too, but on Nostr it doesn't feel that way at the moment by default.

I wonder how you even found a place with a window like that? I agree, most modern architecture is less about embellishment & detail and more about utility and embracing brutalistic architecture made in the cheapest way possible.

I think if it wasn't for the focus on cheap and low-quality materials, it wouldn't be all that bad. Some soul is always lost as a medium matures, that soul can sometimes be brought back through fashion and trends which is nice.

I mean that's fair but doesn't the body take longer to process all that? Isn't it more of a long-lasting damage type thing?

Also, stop being naked all the time. We all know you're handsome but put some clothes on Zeus for once.

love the sky on this, the colors on the whole window are beautiful

what would you say people value the most on #nostr?

what has your experience been like for the last few months?

I don't know if people will participate but here goes!

#art & #artstr do you like an #artchallenge?

Let's go! This is challenge 1/21: #only1dot

You have been tasked with creating a piece of art with only a single dot that evokes emotion to the viewer.

Explore the depth of emotions through simplicity. Focus on conveying a specific emotion or feeling through the medium of the dot. It could be joy, sadness, fear, love, or any other emotion you wish to evoke.

Rules:

- Only 1 dot must be used

- The dot must be prominent

- Faces are not allowed

- Minimalism is optional

- It must be original artwork created by you

Please provide a brief explanation with your artistic statement. It should be at least 1 word to say what emotion the piece is conveying, feel free to elaborate on anything related to the piece.

In 1 week's time, I will zap 210 sats to the piece that received the most likes up to that point and 210 sats to a piece of my choosing at my own discretion. This reward is purely symbolic and I suggest you vote on the piece you like the most through #zaps of any amount you feel comfortable with to people who have contributed!

This is the first challenge I am putting out into the world, I hope you find it fun and I would love for you to participate also in the next 20 art challenges! I will periodically check the #yakosuba_artchallenge_suggestions hastag for any feedback or suggestions from you all on future art challenges.

Follow me for the upcoming 20 art challenges or better yet, follow #artchallenge for challenges from other people.

My #mixedmedia art for the #only1dot #artchallenge by nostr:nprofile1qqszjhl2lwme6e3vhdf9rznatk443dvjalp4prl58m9700ccvqmg80qpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcq3camnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvf5hgcm0d9hx2u3wwdhkx6tpdsjl0hea

“All the Gold remains.” My father passed away in 2019 because of Alzheimer’s.

This art represents the deterioration of the mind, the blank spots, of those who suffer from ALZ. Gold is the good memories that can be held by those left behind. The white dot is my dad’s true self - that which got buried beneath his confusion and pain and anger - and what I believe is now free and at peace.

thank you for your contribution to the #only1dot #artchallenge! ❤️

ok, so here are 3 more suggestions. various topics

1. When it REALLY Began - BankWars: Weimar Hyperinflation Episode 1

There are visuals, although nice, they not necessary to enjoy to series. A very interesting series, and very detailed.

2. John Carmack

Don't know if you are into technology and videogames, John Carmack's interview is worth as listen.

3. Saifedean Ammous

Then there is something more Bitcoin centric, kind of cool because it's Jordan Peterson interviewing Saifedean Ammous. Intellectually stimulating, even if you know about Bitcoin already. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXvQcuIb5rU

#podcasts #documentaries #nostr

that's so cool, Quiet Warrior welcomed me as well. Now I get it, and the symbol 🫂 that goes with it!

Thank you for the thorough explanation 👍

imho it's not going to be worth it.

if you're looking for long-term returns, I'd say you're better off taking a portion of your disposable income (say a minimum of £100 every month and saving it into Bitcoin (and only start using it after 5 or 10 years). any portion of the disposable income you're comfortable with saving, and won't need anytime soon (20% is also a great start if you're unsure)

you can save the rest in either USD or GBP and just use it as and when needed.

this is highly personal though, some people prefer avoiding #bitcoin altogether and some save as much bitcoin as they can, sometimes saving more than 80% of their disposable income in Bitcoin.

I personally think this only makes sense if you are really going to invest regularly (as you earn new money) and keep it for an absolute minimum of 5 years, ideally longer.
