Nostr is about replying. Engaging in conversations. Building your social graph.

There is no algo to spoon feed you. Effort is rewarded.

The largest generation by wealth, number, and costs, are moving from peak consumption to peak austerity. Economic polarity flip. Because demographics is destiny.

Imagine a dude born in 1955, partied through the 60's on sound money and free speech, moveed to the hard drugs when he moved away from hard money, used his 30's to securitize his generation's asset, coting for £1.50 of benefits for only 20-30p of taxes, and started to get rich, bought more, borrowed more, alllll through his 40's and 50's, and now he's late 60's, still working, tired, in debt, not well anymore, looking at how he's gonna replace his salary for 25 years without living like a student he's spent his life ridiculing.

He's an ateist - so the future in which he doesnt exist is of no relevence to him. He loves his grandkids but when he dies - he believes they die, for all extents and purposes, and so, he didnt save for them.

This dude, is the median UK/western citizen, and all at the same time - they'll make the same calculation, and liquidate. That will gather pace, be self reinforcing.

But the buyers dont want their tacky, shit ikea houses. They can't afford them, and they have 40 years to work, and the boomers want underlings to pay for their shit tastes. In a rising market - they can - but their bags are heavier every day. Every day their bid price is weaker and weaker, and they are all going to sell at once.

You'll see boomers stopping out, and not even knowing what a STOP trade is.

What are you missing about Winter?

Realizing I haven’t had a winter day in years. Will change that this year 🏂

Scarcity fuels innovation!!

The increasing totalitarian control structure actually accelerates all

of the building of freedom tech by creating more value for it.

Celebrate that you are just early in the realization.

The more I think about Nostr the more it blows my mind.

I can just say whatever crazy shit I want and there’s like no guardrails or mods—it’s just out there, and people will actually see it.

No one appreciates just how powerful this is, how important it is, monumental even.

It creates a totally new possibility for the social web, which is really something else entirely. It’s the possibility of a new world in which people own their data; their information. No longer to be exploited, or owned, people can really say whatever they want.

And that is truly extraordinary.

15 days no internet

Yes or No?

I’ve felt this feeling before. Things are about to get really fucking exciting really soon

LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOO

Let's enjoy our time when #Nostr is growing up 😸🌱

I'm on the left side I think

Nothing wrong with fingers in anuses, but I agree.

If you weren't naive, you wouldn't be complaining about that people are flowing to Bluesky instead of Nostr.

You think that most people are sophisticated enough to magically grasp that organically decentralized protocols fare better than "centralized platforms" in a context of censorship ?

Get your fingers out of your anuses, guys.

Technology adoption is not necessarily driven by "rationality". Think about people who still traveled on horseback even if cars were far superior.

Everyone gets the same dildo of consequences.

And somewhere in there I'd say there's a fourth decision: When you decide to change your status signaling from things like beauty, power, and material achievement, to things like integrity, competence, and helpfulness.

Almost everyone is geared toward signaling. As social creatures we're deeply wired to signal value to others.

But there's a lot of flexibility in how we signal that.

-We can signal it with shallower things like beauty, lambos, hierarchical dominance, etc. The details will vary between men and women but they have a similar short time preference that few old people on their deathbed wished they had focused more on.

-Or we can signal it with deeper things like integrity, honesty, helpfulness, friendliness, generosity, providing unique thoughts, or providing wisdom. The details will vary based on profession and skillset but they also have a similar long time preference that most old people on their deathbed wished they had focused more on.
