He’s an interesting guy, wish he was on here.

It’s been a year since I deleted Twitter, and set up new profiles on Mastodon/Fediverse and now Nostr. It’s really interesting to see who of the people I followed ended up on each, or remained only with Twitter.

The Fediverse is where a lot of my academic and professional colleagues ended up, while Nostr is where many of the Bitcoin folks I know are now, and it’s a pretty disjoint set. Also, the cultures and norms are very different between the communities.

Hopefully they come together at some point, but network effects are difficult to overcome.

GM ☕ Maybe the GM posts should be treated like warrant canaries, when you don't see them from someone you wonder if they are OK 😄

GM ☕ #Nostr frens

GM ☕ What a difference twelve words makes.

The correct number of sats to own can be mathematically derived:

L = N + 1,

...where N is how many sats you own, and L is the correct amount.

GM ☕ We've had an ample reminder that every single thing about how Bitcoin works is voluntary.

From the decision to acquire it, spend it, accept it in trade, hodl it, mine it, or have nothing to do with it, as well as the freedom to criticize those who make these decisions differently from you, we are all here by choice, not by decree or violence.

In fact, in the absence of being able to coerce others into acting differently, social commentary and choosing to interact or not *are all we have* to influence others.

This is a huge step forward in human relationships, let's celebrate it.

Unfortunately, the VICE series seems a bit overproduced, in the interest of mass appeal, and HM plays into it.

#Nostr was so friendly and nice, and everybody was just getting along happily with their morning coffee memes and nature pictures, when the space-time continuum erupted, spewing drama about censorship this and ordinals that. Can't we all just get along? /s
