Bitcoin meetup wants to chat about nostr next time. Shill me some "other stuff" please I wanna see if I missed anything.

#asknostr

EXACTLY 15 years ago today, Satoshi Nakamoto debated naming #Bitcoin "Titcoin" 🤯

I can't believe Satoshi even considered this! 🤣

Nobody gets this

#RageQuitAlert 🚨🚨🚨

My dad used to say this to try to minimize the sting of not getting what you want: “if we had eggs, we could make eggs and bacon - if we had bacon”

Well, i’m not sure who needs to hear this, but it could be all of us

Just because you and me and others see amazing potential in something does not mean it will come to fruition, especially not in the way(s) we expect

Bitcoin has already shown us this by going from for cypherpunks by cypherpunks, to being for everyone - including the “commies” and “normies” and “trannies” and “joos” and “suits” that some of you shit your pants over regularly as if that’s a healthy mentality. It’s still heading towards what i personally believe is its destiny, full-blown global money. So that’s cool. Could be wrong, but that’s my highest conviction in terms of any belief regarding the potentially distant future

BUT, and sorry but i’m just being honest here… i am not so sure about nostr. I’m not saying it’s due to the predominant topics of conversation or the onboarding flow or the funding structure for development or really anything in particular

But the truth is that this is a niche community on the internet. A very small niche where a lot of incredibly smart and talented people enjoy each other’s digital company and many build things together on this dynamic, incredible, open protocol. It has a lot of potential for sure… but stay humble, i guess that’s ultimately what i’m trying to say.

Think for yourself and be honest with yourself. Double check three times daily that your head’s not up your ass and you’re not in a small deadend cult-de-sac, and if in doing so you find that you are, genuinely assess whether you’re truly ok with that

Personally i’m not ok with that and right now i’m feeling like that’s sorta what’s going on here. I am certain the potential is real, and i hope the potential for the potential to be realized is high. I guess i just need a break!

So that’s what i’m gonna do. If history is any indication, i’ll be back shortly. But in this present moment i hope i can give myself more time this time. I’m a poor mfer living in obscenely expensive fiat world. I have to focus my energy on productivity for the sake of my wife and myself and the son and daughter i’ve been having visions of someday raising, and stop embracing diversions

My sincerest apologies for expressing such uncomfortable feelings. Don’t wanna harsh the vibe here any further. This is 99% a me-problem to be absolutely clear (probably comes through loud and clear huh 🤣)

Pura vida, gfy, and keep stacking those sats little by little mfers. Keep doing and building cool shit and realizing more of that potential day in and day out. I’m rooting for us, i promise

But for now… peace! 🖖🌽

lol…I was just curious because it’s definitely not tracking my lifetime zaps

Is that year to date or lifetime?

An update on *liquidity* flows...

OBSERVATION #1: US NET LIQUIDITY (top half of chart) continues to be generally rangebound (chopping sideways: crab-like) since all the way back in 2021!

OPINION #1: US-based risk assets tend to follow US net liquidity over time. Based on this data, I would continue to expect choppy sideways (crab-like) price action for US mid cap, small cap, and micro cap stocks until the trend changes. -- If these equities make overly bearish or overly bullish moves in the short-term, one could consider making a short-term contrarian trade. 🦀

OBSERVATION #2: GLOBAL M2 MONEY SUPPLY (bottom half of chart) has officially broken out to the upside of its three-year choppy sideways range, and is resuming its longer term trend ever up-and-to-the-right. This longer term trend will continue until the dollar dies (decades from now).

OPINION #2: In the near-term, this resumption of increasing global M2 money supply is bullish for global assets... currently including megacap technology stocks and, of course, bitcoin. Based on past precedent, I continue to expect weak bitcoin price action throughout the month of August, giving HODLers a beautiful opportunity to stack relatively cheap sats in the setting of rising global M2. -- I do not believe this bargain will go unnoticed for much longer, with the next major bitcoin bull market beginning sometime between September and December of 2024, and probably lasting until 4Q of 2025.

Hope this helps. Cheers #nostr friends.

What client is this?

The real power of AI will be in its integration of other tools to use in specific situation and recognizing what those tools are.

Thanks for the good info. 🤝

Sup girl, how you doing?
