Altcoiners are starting to whine again.

They deserve everything that's coming to them.

What would it look like, if an emergent money was being monetized?

Often when I talk with academics or other high-IQ critics of bitcoin, it’s the volatility and seemingly speculative aspect of it that turns them off. It’s almost distasteful to them. They can get behind the idea of global open-source payments and so forth, “but that’s not why people buy it” they’ll say. “They buy it because they’re speculating. It’s too volatile for its own good.” Some aspect of them dislikes it in principle, almost *because* one can make money from it.

But a new decentralized money, including its own unit of account and liquidity, doesn’t just emerge as a multi-trillion dollar-equivalent network out of the box. In order to go from zero to trillions in market capitalization and liquidity, it needs upside volatility. And with upside volatility comes speculation, leverage, and downside volatility. Cycle after cycle, it’s priced like an option. At first it’s like a 0.1% chance that it succeeds in the long run. And then in the next cycle it’s like 1%. And then in the next cycle it’s like 5%, and so forth. So, early capital allocators that have seen a thing or two and know the high failure rate of new ideas will say, “This’ll probably fail, but if it doesn’t, both the investment gains and the macro implications will be enormous.” And then 15 years into it with a few more cycles under its belt, the probability of success looks less like a distant moonshot and more like a real possibility, and then eventually starts to look like the base case. In the beginning the question is, “how will this succeed?” and at later stages the question becomes, “what risks could prevent this from continuing to succeed?”

The process of buying bitcoin is often a speculative process at first, but then as people learn more, they often view it differently. Those that really want speculation will then continue down the pipeline of altcoins- there’s always some shiny new object to try to speculate on. On the other hand, those who begin viewing bitcoin as money, start to view it as a defensive or risk-off act to hold a piece of this liquid and globally decentralized network of value. One would feel too financially exposed not to.

Nostr LiteBrowser is getting ready.

How is this better than NostrNet.work?

First, it supports all WebApps. If a web app runs in a browser, it will also run in this.

No iframe, no WebView; it uses your actual browser engine and shell to render these web apps.

It's well-connected with all your PWA apps and browsers. In just one click, switch any web app to its personal PWA or in the browser.

Every user also gets their own very performant Lnbits wallet, which will be integrated with the marketplace, paywall, and voucher service. (You can also use your own instance)

This will be very useful for iOS users; it's also developed for the iOS WebKit.

Last but not least, it will come with a full Nostr Calendar, backups, and note integration.

I learned many things from NostrNet; this time, I want to do it in the right way. I will keep sharing the updates.

I’m not knowledgeable at all in this field, my belief is that the shot does not treat the infection once it’s caught.

The shot is preventative. Similarly to the flue, the flue shot is not to cure the illness but to prevent it.

This makes sense in my head 🤷‍♂️

yeah that good way what are using vitualbox wmware ... ? u get preinstall images also sometimes

Because it uses Lnbits in the backend, you can even attach your own Lnbits & node.

However, there are also some differences, such as a custom marketplace extension and some more changes.

I also tried to keep the experience simple. It's also running on good hardware.

The electric bone yard is real 😂

Hey! Id love to chat more if you find em all 😃

My wife and I ( her idea ) have decided to get my 3 yr old daughter a cd player. Were gonna rip her favorite music ( mainly disney tunes ) onto some blank cds ( if i can find some 😅) . I realized after my wife brought it up that music is this odd experience for my daughter where me or my wife beep boop on the phone and it magically happens.

Giving her a cd will give her some choice, some autonomy, and shell actually do the process to get the music going and see the results. Very excited!

So, whos got a cd player they wanna send me, ill pay shipping ?

I’ve just deleted CoinGecko. I’m done following crypto. I’ve been in crypto rabbit hole for 3 years obsessing on shitcoin.

6 month ago I’ve quit my degen experience to focus on Bitcoin only but keeping a side eye on alts.

This isn’t working for me, it’s like trying to quit smoking while being a “occasional smoker”.

I’ll continue DCA in #bitcoin but will only follow price action with my portfolio tracker.

I’m feeling better already..
