4.76% of Bitcoin already in the hands of the banksters.

Are you aware of this?

at this pace, they will have in custody 10% of the coins by next years end, in 5 years, close to 30%... we stack and hold or...

Why do you think that besides #Bitcoin, some cryptocurrencies have been there for over 10 years and despite their poor performce against #BTC they continue to exist and thrive?

My take:

Initially I thought, all of them but a handful will fade away and never be heard of again, but for my surprise, many are still trading after many years, Why?

The more I analyze the available data the more I conclude it is not about performance or profit, and I got to the Apple iPhone phenomenon...

When the iPhone was launched I was shocked on how many technically savvy friends, colleagues and acquaintances were buying it. I study the mobile and concluded it was an overpriced device with many deficiencies for me to even consider it an option, in short SUCKS, the worst one at that time, it had one radio instead of two, you could not do data and talk at the same time and almost no customization. It simply sucks. Yet an incredible success, Why? The Apple fan base, or should I say, the cult? Tesla now?

Extrapolating to Crypto currencies I believe is the same principle, some of them keep being strong over time because of the fan base, toxic maxis that become youtubers, tiktokers, influencers, developers, periodic conferences, PR campaigns, etc, same as with Bitcoin

Bitcoin is not much different on that arena, but it has the huge advantage of being the first to market and the fact that walked the path of the HERO (fought three big battles; 1. blocks, 2. miners bans, 3. ETFs approval; and won raising victorious)

Lot's of people hate Bitcoin maxis, believe they are part of the problem as of why there is not more adoption, maybe that is true, but I believe they are the cult base, without them, their strong believe in the ecosystem and its ethos, Bitcoin would not be the undisputed alpha dog

What are your thoughts?

Did you know that #Nostr zapping with nostr:nprofile1qqs24yz8xftq8kkdf7q5yzf4v7tn2ek78v0zp2y427mj3sa7f34ggjcpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj703s8dt is not the usual one as with most clients, ***instead, is a feature rich tool:***

When you hold for a couple of seconds the ⚡icon you get a menu that offer some very cool features:

1. You can add short cut zap amounts, so they show when you are going to zap, you don't have to change every time

2. You can make your zaps PRIVATE (only you and the zapped will know) or ANONYMOUS (nobody will know who zapped, neither the zapped), on top of the default PUBLIC

3. If you are into testing the innovative cashu wallets you can add, using NWC (Network Wallet Connect) your wallet to zap others, if you don't, when you click ⚡, a pop will ask you the first time to choose your LN⚡ wallet, if only one wallet it will open and load the invoice for you to do the zap

can't zap you, anyone else having this issue zapping 0xChat?

Google officially have responded to those accusations stating they do not profile users nor collect any data with their keyboard...

Your choice to trust them, I do not trust then for a second.

Have you checked the permissions you are giving to that app?

Now compare to the FOSS keyboard permissions:

Hard to understand how people trust Google tools not to peofile them and sell their profiles for profit, most of their tools, IMO, have way more permissions than the ones needed to provide the service...

Having keyboard annoyances with Amethyst when typing?

Here the solution (Victor Pamplona outlined the issue several times before):

-. ***You are using an outdate keyboard, upgrade, preferable to a FOSS one with no internet connection (your current one probably have it...)***

After extensive testing three suggestions for improvement:

1. Fully support LN⚡to receive to a 0xChat LN address, you are almost there, currently you can generate an invoice to fund the wallet, but people can't zap you or use a readable address to pay you. You are supporting npub.cash for that, but there is no interconnection between wallets, funds received in the npub cash wallet do not automatically end up in the 0xchat wallet, now if you can manage that funds forward that would do. Maybe nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9thwden5te0dehhxarj9ehhsarj9ejx2a30qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj7xph5zr can find a clever solution for that and monetize from it on a win win solution.

2. The fonts in 0xChat are fixed in size by the app and not the system, I know the UI is rich and therefore you are being cautious, but the fonts are tiny hard to read

3. When making a new post, again, you knock it out of the park, quite clever UI, choosing who gets to read the post as an option is awesome, I will suggest you add "post preview"

4. Add Post Drafts, currently, if you start typing a post and have to leave it for later the post is lost, using drafts fixes that.

🔥You guys are rock stars 🔥

Keep up with the good work!

Check the #0XChat posting features, quite smart, not for a long post, which would be nice to have too, but the feature of to whom the message is visible is just awesome

nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72 , hey, what about, an X awesome feature you can emulate, NO ONE can reply as an additional option, that feature is priceless, specially for some influencers

👊

wow, that would be nice too!
