Hot take: children should be the default retirement plan.

If you do not contribute to the future of society, why should society contribute to yours?

PS: Children are social security; what the gov't calls social security is actually a scam.

When Bitcoin is being used by 1B people the ecosystem you're operating in will look different.

I'm more worried about the next 1M Bitcoiners promoting good tools that support Open Source collaboration.

FWIW I agree with you. Right now the front page is really boring. I have some ideas and I'm working on it!

Great debate. Someone finally countered with the fact that DC allows different people to get different things they want out of bitcoin, based on market choice.

Giacomo believes market choice means people retain the right to spend their money on anything they want, outside bitcoin. This is true, but, BTC core development is limited to core devs and interested/funded corps, like fiat cantillion. it is not the case that anyone can do what they want with their money. (bitcoin)

In other words, bitcoiners are limited to the world view of core devs and corps.

What about people who don't want Taproot, or other soft forks ? Their L1 experience is now impacted by ordinals.

Dc isolates future changes like this.

Another moronic reply from you.

You’re batting 1000%!

Lol.

“You’re confused.”

No, you’re fucking retarded and likely a pedophile.

Why else would you call a mutilated mentally Ill freak?

Trannies either have gaping holes that require daily dilation and smell like rotting flesh, or mutilation breast scars and rolled up flesh parts.

Anyone that takes this path will forever be a Frankenstein.

This is so fucking delusionally insane.

You can’t change your biology. No matter how many Mengele doctors you pay.

You’ll always be what you were born with.

Is it just me, or does it seem like everyone is super reluctant to monetize services and relays on #Nostr?

If we can’t make these things sustainable then we will either lose them, or they will stay nothing more than a weird little corner of the internet with lots of hope but no chance of ever scaling.

I still haven’t seen the basic model of zap sharing tried by any major client or relay. But I DO see regularly comments about how expensive relays are. I mean it might not work, but can’t we TRY it?

I want to make the distinction here too that this doesn’t mean we are closing off the network, we are adding permissions to the protocol, this doesn’t suggest at all to used closed source code, we simply need the services necessary to keep this ecosystem robust, to be profitable and have the resources to thrive. If they aren’t, then NONE of this works. Economics is everything.

I know building features is more exciting. I know we all want to make everything that we can free, and I agree all of the *code* should be shared. However, I think there is a natural insecurity (and I say this because I have this problem personally) with charging a fair price, and fearing criticism or the ire of people who believe everything should be free (as in price) when we need things to be free (as in Liberty). They are not the same, and confusing the two could stifle, or drastically slow down, the insane potential of this place.

TL;DR We have GOT to divert some energy to thinking about how to make this ecosystem sustainable, or we will lose it.

(Disclaimer: this isn’t a judgement on whoever is thinking about this problem. It just *seems* like few are. If you are building in this way please share your ideas or what you are trying. I’m extremely interested)

Spanish salamis and chorizos: both, quality and preference. Not all of them are smoke and e250/e252 free, but some are. I choose those. Sure, pork is pork even in Spain, not the best type of meat. But my body demands pork from time to time, and it makes my wallet happy. If I could get wild pig meat salami, I would very much prefer that, but never seen on sale anything like that. I should become a hunter myself, but regulations here are complicated, and so I haven't found the will to go through that yet.

Lost me at "stevia". Can't tolerate the taste (and even less that of aspartame). If I have to do sweeteners, it's got to be sugar.

This will form like 95% of my diet in various proportions in no paticular order:

- beef minced and not fried on clean steel pan with no oils added. Other times boiled in water

- plain fresh fish baked in an oven

- canned salted fish with no oils, spices and nothing else in ingredients

- free range boiled chicken

- no added sugar ketchup

- sweet pepper sauce

- steamed rice

- soft fried eggs on olive oil

- onions, garlic, tomatoes, cucumbers cabbage, carrots

- boiled potatoes

- 100% peanut butter

- oatmeal

- buckwheat

- bread

- honey from friends beekeepers

- apples, papayas, mangos, melons, raisins, blueberries, fresh coconuts, bananas, pears, figs

- spanish salamis and chorizos

- cured bio beef

I am not an absolutist though. I will try some poisonous foods and drinks several times a year, too.

If some of you are feeling extra sovereign today, please consider buying a private relay from relaying.io

It's cheaper than a blue check and ultra based.
