I've been on the Internet since 1994. We still haven't figured out how to display sarcasm without additional text or emojis or context. How does Nostr fix this?

Thought experiment.

Option # 1

Let’s say you have 10 bitcoin and we hit 2 million in the next few years.

You’re tempted so you sell it for 20 million dollars.

After taxes you’re be left with 16MM.

Which you use to comfortably generate 1.2MM a year in the tradfi markets.

So you take the money and retire.

Bitcoin crashes 60% back to 800k.

For a few years you feel like a genius. You enjoy your new rich person lifestyle.

You even buy back a few bitcoin. 2 to be exact. 20% of what you used to have.

Then bitcoin rises over the next decade to be worth 50 million per coin.

You’re worth 120 million now. And you decide to sell a little over half a coin and upgrade your lifestyle again to be able to generate an additional 2 million a year.

You’re now on paper worth 120 million, you generate 3.2 million a year (266k a month) and you’ve been largely stress free for the last decade.

Your kids will inherit roughly 1.62 bitcoin from you upon your death.

You have some level of regret about not hodling through, but you’ve been largely stress free and the mental health benefit was worth it in your mind.

Vs.

Option # 2

You have the same 10 bitcoin but you Hodl them.

Your stress levels are persistently higher.

You also decide to retire when Bitcoin hits 2 mil, but you decide to do so in bitcoin terms.

Your plan is to sell a little bitcoin as needed in order to fund your lifestyle.

This is roughly 1-3 million sats a month. Depending on bitcoin price.

Over the course of 10 years you end up selling or spending 2.4 bitcoin and are still left worth 7.6btc when bitcoin reaches 50 million.

Your net worth is 380 million.

You’ve reduced your lifestyle in bitcoin terms down to a million sats a month. (500k) or 6 million per year. You’re 46, Assuming you live until you’re 90 you will pass down 2.32 bitcoin to your kids.

You have no regrets about the way you played it, but your stress was consistently higher and there were a few scary months along the way.

Which option do you choose?

1 or 2?

Just some casual zapping and GM’ing to start my day.

GM, y’all.

I don’t have enough bitcoin

Clearest image of Mars ever taken.

So is their next plan to crash the economy right as he is sworn in?

Their attempts to assassinate Trump failed. They could not stop Trump from winning over the love of the public and lost the election in a landslide. Everything they have done to try and stop him as backfired. It is truly a phenomenon.

The market has spoken

I won’t make anymore episodes lol

I put a lot of thought, time, and effort into it but lost motivation due to nobody liking it

I’ll find something else to do

O well….

answering your second question first XMRBazaar.com, MoneroMarket.io, and Monerica.com.

As for your first question, it's the privacy because you don't have to switch back and forth between a currency that is private and a currency that is not private.

Some people incorrectly say that the supply of Monero is unlimited, which it is not, because it would only be unlimited over unlimited time, and we as humans do not have unlimited time on this earth. It does have some inflation because of the 0.6 Monero Tail emission reward, but that's specifically to replace lost coins over time and incentivize miners to continue mining the chain and not relying on only transaction fees, which are unsteady. Monero's current inflation rate is 0.85%, which is less than the inflation rate of gold, according to the World Gold Council, which has roughly 1.5% inflation per year. And we know exactly how much Monero is going to be released at all times, where with gold, that is not the case.

To me it's just silly, I'm outside right now, on a spotty connection and I've zapped you from my own lightning node which sits in my house and is only accessible over tor, no issues, no failed payments. Yes lightning sucked years ago, but now it just works with almost never any issue

How does that result in a monetary premium? Ordinals?

Miners don't need to hold Bitcoin, so I don't think this slide is correct.

Eg. people hold gold for artistic purposeses, but they don't buy Bitcoin to do mining.

I FCA into #Monero every month. I use some of it as cash to buy things I want, but I hold more than I spend. So I'm always increasing a little bit.
