I’m digging primal, I’ve used Iris, Damus and briefly a few others, primal just works.

Good enough to be riding again. Just don’t tell my doctor.

I did break my collarbone on it 4 weeks ago. But I was riding at night with NVG’s which was probably a bad idea. Haha.

I’m grateful it was a comfort for you during the virus hoax. That was definitely rough time.

I’m not qualified to have much of an opinion on it as I don’t use it. I tend toward a much more personal responsibility approach and am for sure against a nanny state approach.

That said, I do see issues with certain types of “apps” potentially being used as tools by hostile actors. Pokémon Go for instance is an intel gathers dream.

I do think NOSTR fixes this because the infinite potential, open nature and decentralized aspects change the incentive structures. But I really don’t know, I’m just one guy in a big world.

Hilarious scene, here’s a meme version.

Really need to send him this though.

I just had a conversation with a financial advisor I really respect, he’s in his mid to late 70’s. He asked me what I think about “crypto” I told him I only know about Bitcoin and everything else is a ponzi scheme. He then repeated the typical objections “ it’s not scarce because alt-coins” and it doesn’t have any “intrinsic value” i pointed out that Austrian Econ teaches us that all value is subjective and that Bitcoin can be transferred permissionless which is very valuable. He liked those points. Also pointed out that no one uses alt coins for anything real and that BTC has vibrant circular economies around the world. I mentioned the historical performance also and that shitcoins don’t really have that. He’s still not convinced 😞. He did ask if I thought he was too late at 100k. Told him I’m still buying DCA.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Generally think it’s a good idea to do something about TikTok as it’s legitimately a psycho-weapon, but the Gov banning it is an exceedingly slippery slope.

It’s the typical stupid bureaucrat just regurgitating hype words. Remember if it wasn’t for government jobs this person would probably struggle to make senior barista at the local coffee joint.

Preferred method to get around the community.

In that case I will give it a try.

It’s just hard to beat considering broad availability.

Right, how they pronounce on mainstream media tv networks is completely wrong.

It’s not pronounced “bit-coin” it’s “bic-oin”

According to my 6 year old.

HBD, I’m sure you will be HBD(Has Been Drinking) 😀

It’s a disstinked possibility nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx thinks nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z could use some 100% natural chemical free soap.

Seeing all these cottage industries popup on #nostr is pretty amazing.

Yuge.

I’m not looking forward to the calls and txts asking what I think about “investing” in Shitcoin XYZ. 😞

“just DCA Bitcoin and sit on it bro, use it as collateral to borrow against if you need to spend Capital.”
