I doubt it's correct. I know #[8] works on Nostrgram, while the rest work either on own clients or Nostr generally.

I don’t have all that 😂

Y’all keep this up and Liz Warren is going to be writing a letter to the CEO of nostr demanding to know the ice-melting energy usage of those zaps ⚡️

Maxi is someone that thinks bitcoin is the only coin yet here you on the "flux" network (a sperate chain from bitcoin) using a layer 2 protocol (lightning) claiming bitcoin is the only blockchain worth anything.. can you not see the irony of such a brain dead statement? Your currently using shitcoins claiming bitcoin is the only solution. THINK.

Not really anything that can't be done on bitcoin or on top of bitcoin. Even some Monero advocates are excited about Lightning Bolt12 spec as it fixes some of the privacy issues lightning currently has.

The thing with altcoins are that, although if they have developed some interesting tech, it's not unique to that coin. If its good, and there are no trade-offs it can be implemented into bitcoin (for example, confidential transactions are live on Liquid, which is a bitcoin side chain), or on layers on top of bitcoin, which already exists such as coinjoins.

Bitcoin is uniquely optimised for decentralisation, security, and a predetermined monetary policy which is transparent. The rules are incredibly difficult, next to impossible to change without unanimous consensus without causing a chain split.

Altcoins doesn't have this robust, secure foundation and is often arbitrarily hard forked, and in other ways controlled by insiders by pre-mines, ICO:s, and owning infrastructure etc. So people who are building on altcoins are building on sand castles that has no viable long-term future.

There's also the question of anonset, bitcoin has a much larger anonset than monero.

They are your just stuck in your bitcoin maxy bubble. Not everyone including myself think web 3.0 is ONLY bitcoin. I like bitcoin i think its great but to think web 3.0 is only bitcoin is naïve.

Why aren't altcoiners moving to Nostr?

They're used to bribing centralized entities to integrate their coin. Exchanges list them, websites cover them, wallets add them. Even Twitter has the NFT profile pics. But they can't do that on Nostr.

And further, the Lightning integration means they have to use Bitcoin! The sad fact is that for all their developers, altcoins don't have anything like lightning. And they know if they come here, they're going to need to convert some of their stash.

It'll be fun to watch the VCs try to downplay Nostr's significance as they try to protect their bags. But it won't work. An actual decentralized network is forming and their centralized crap won't work here.

Let them have centralized platforms. Decentralized money belongs on a decentralized platform.

Consider,

Twitter could've implemented lightning tips, or honestly payments of literally any kind YEARS ago. But they didn't. Why?

#Nostr on the other hand has accomplished this in no time, and everyone who has experienced it immediately feels what a big deal this is... but why exactly?

Numerous features implemented in Nostr could've been on Twitter all this time.

• Do you think it's because they didn't want to?

• Was it too technically difficult, even though Nostriches pulled it off in a matter of days or weeks?

Of course not, it was POLITICALLY infeasible. Remember how Facebook spent *years* and bookoos of capital trying to create a *whole new currency* just to enable it because there was no chance of doing it with dollars? They were even dragged before Congress to explain why they would do such a thing as enable payments on social media! How dare they! It was easily squashed despite the fact that the list of those backing it was essentially a Who's Who of Silicon Valley fintech.

And what did the Twitter Files teach us? That not only would the suffocating regulatory environment make tips and payments on social media virtually impossible, but the political leviathan refused to even allow them to freely TWEET to their followers! Intelligence agencies were both *funding* social censorship & had direct communication channels to shut down people's accounts, shadow ban, & ensure that "unapproved" opinions simply can't travel through the network.

Like @#[0] said, "this has the power to monetize dissent." Consider the insane power of sharing an "unapproved" opinion to millions of people and being directly rewarded with 1000s, maybe 10s of thousands of private, instant payments while the post has unfiltered, free flow to every last user in the network.

No more "donation services" or "patreons" that take 10% and will preemptively shut down anything remotely against the establishment. No more Go fund Me's fuck stealing millions going to protestors to donate to a "charity of their choice." They are all immediately redundant & pointless.

Instead we are walking into a world with unfiltered, free flowing information and unfiltered free flowing money.

The simple fact is that no large, centralized social platform of any kind CAN do what Nostr does so easily. Because they have a gun to their head & they know it.

This is the 10x value add that is going to wake people up, and it's going to start with ALL the dissenters. We need to find all of them and bring them here.

The simple ability to have direct access to millions of followers, and be able receive payments and tips from them directly, unfiltered, untaxed, with no middle man & no authority whatever involved...

They are afraid as FUCK of that power. And they absolutely should be. Think of what a staggering problem the mere existence of someone like Joe Rogan has presented in the past couple of years. Now consider they attacked him through his network, his advertisers, his payment processors, and a huge targeted propaganda campaign (and fucking LOST despite, 🤣). Now think about the 1000s of others we watched get attacked, banned, deplatformed, canceled, etc...

–––––––––––––

Now imagine the past 3 years done over again, except without any of that being possible anymore...

Guys, we are right in the fucking middle of the revolution. It's right now.

I cannot describe the joy I have paying people in Costa Rica with Bitcoin. Every transaction is personal, precious, deliberate, pure. People don't even ask me anymore when they see me, they just flash a QR code. I am so excited to never spend fiat again. I hope my kids will never have to pay in fiat. There's a decent chance my children will never be tainted by the ownership of fiat money. What a glorious achievement for mankind this would be!
