I think a Facebook marketplace competitor could be huge as well…

You could have a cache that filters for a tag applied to nostr posts that are intending to sell so you could show a feed/ search through the marketplace specifically.

I also think at some point a truly free market stock market will emerge on nostr but It’ll be much more challenging to implement than a retail marketplace IMO

It’s a necessary evil up to this point though, there is no other easy way to get the masses into bitcoin. You either have tether or some blackrock backed USD exchange chokepoint.

That being said I think nostr will be a great way to onboard people to bitcoin without them having to kyc and trade dollars for bitcoin but we’re still a couple of orders of magnitude too small here for that to have any real impact yet.

In the end all value is subjective, once you truly come to terms with this fact ordinals become trivial. People either will or won’t pay to inscribe. If they value doing it more than they value the fee amount then they will pay to do it until they either don’t value it more than the fee or don’t have the BTC to pay the fee. Long term it sorts itself out 🤷‍♂️

A major sign of decline in any organization is when it pivots from fighting external battles to the benefit of its users, to fighting its users for the supposed benefit of the organization. Netflix is ngmi

Way too many people on twitter haven’t been through a block size war and it shows

Brb gonna go hit my legs with a chisel until I bleed out or have tree trunk legs

Super bullish on public key private key pairs for information filtering…

I think AI/ deepfakes will accelerate this. Soon the only way to verify something was actually said by someone online will be because it was signed by their private key.

I don’t think the implications of this on society can be fully grasped yet.

How does one zap more or less than 1000 sats? It won’t let me change the amount anymore

Replying to Avatar m2carbine

But what if I want to send 6969 sats or 420 sats or 80085 sats?

Does anyone know why when I go to zap someone I can’t do a different amount than 1000 sats? It used to let me change it but now it won’t.

So I’ve rowed competitively for over 15 years…

my best half marathon was an hour and 19 minutes…

my average watts for that was 243 which is pretty fast but not international fast…

the average person would produce more like .2kWh if they went as hard as they could for an hour so they probably couldn’t even earn 10cents tbh lol
