No, literally returning to my original point which you seem to have misunderstood
If you are trying to say “you can use your own domain with gmail then take your own domain with you later away from gmail” the answer is yes, but you are still issued that domain from a centralized registration service and it can be seized from you and the process of pointing a domain to a new server is complicated enough that normies don’t do it
Versus taking your npub somewhere new? Extremely easy
Where we’re going we don’t need to be Linked In
There is no way to use @gmail.com without using Google’s email service is the point I was making
The portability of the address (npub)
There is no way to separate a gmail identity from google. No way to move it elsewhere. No way to take self-custody of it. That identity doesn’t even exist without google.
But an npub exists totally separate from (and even in the absence of) any service ferrying messages for it
“Bitcoin needs a better class of regulator… and I’m gonna give it to ‘em!”
My dudes it’s a scientific fact that Orange Man makes all the right people really mad and his fans do want to burn the system down this could be a match made in heaven
Oh so it is actually useful for something wow
The kids are not alright
Normies: “It’s extremely important to vote, it’s what makes our democracy strong”
Also normies: “but actually don’t vote for the guy I don’t like, he’s against democracy”
Also also normies: “but it’s ok either way, your vote for president won’t matter because you don’t live in a swing state, which is totally compatible with democracy”
Also, also, also normies: “if you think our elections are rigged you’re a crazy conspiracy theorist”
Don't get too pumped about Trump speaking at this year's nostr:npub1rwh33t5x8n7czknhts5fg0v0fml8mkl7neaarksumkkf8d679qrqcz7avv, there are forces in motion that could severely impact the bitcoin industry if people don't begin to make noise.
Earlier today there was a Senate Agriculture Committee hearing on Oversight of Digital Commodities with the head of the CFTC that everyone should watch.
If the legislation that is inevitably going to come out of this hearing gets passed it won't matter if Trump gets into office. The industry will be hindered for years. There is bi-partisan support at the moment as Democrats are moving quickly to react to the buzz Republicans have received due to their embrace of bitcoin.
Long story short, this committee is pushing to give the CFTC regulatory oversight over spot bitcoin markets, which is an unprecedented expansion of CFTC authority into retail commodities trades whereas in the past they have exclusively had jurisdiction over only commodities derivatives markets.
If the CFTC is granted this expansion of authority it would mean that they are likely going to require any bitcoin company to register with the federal government and have enhanced KYC/AML requirements. To be clear, this won't only affect exchanges, but any company that touches spot bitcoin.
These efforts are being spearheaded on the crypto side via lobbying efforts by Kraken, Coinbase and Ripple. Not shocking because this would likely enable them to trivially erect regulatory moats.
It looks like the bi-partisan effort will be looking to pass something through the House and into law rather quickly. Likely before the election.
It is imperative that you speak out against this as it would increase the regulatory and compliance burdens on US bitcoin companies considerably. The best move right now is no action. We need less regulation, not more. As we've seen time and time again throughout the first 15-years of bitcoin, these regulations but users in harm's way and make it unreasonably difficult for companies to operate cheaply and effectively.
Call you Representative and tell them to reject any bill that would give the CFTC oversight over spot bitcoin markets. This is a full on attack.
Do really need ANOTHER Joker reboot? 
My apologies… “Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry”… you can’t make this shit up!
“Agricultural Committee discusses regulating digital assets” is the most boomer thing I’ve heard this year nostr:note1a9wdafl206x0tpgncxn0qtwflcrn65spasgkew7g5vtjcfckpvys8rxqyh
Have we spent more time at $58k in 2024 than 2021 and, if so, nice
The mere existence of a viable alternative to banks is not priced in
Or the deflationary effect of technological advancement as well… people just cannot grasp it. All they know is “prices always go up”

Hyperbitcoinization doesn’t sound so crazy when you realize it’s really just mean reversion of everything else
As are home valuations, and bond pricing - all fake fake fake
Bitcoin’s prospects for massive appreciation start to make a lot more sense when we realize how out-of-whack the pricing of every other scarce asset is
Hyperbitcoinization is really just mean reversion for all other scarce assets
