Let's say a person would like to increase their reach on Nostr. How would process be the same or different than increasing reach on other social platforms, such as X?
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result
I buy #bitcoin every week, over and and over
Am I insane?

Now that transaction fee storm has passed I'm back to heating my living space primarily with wood in a rocket mass heater instead of Asics.
https://v.nostr.build/Ee2K.mp4
Wood is burned in the small firebox and heat radiates from the barrel warming the space quickly while the fire burns.
As the exhaust gasses make their way to the chimney, they pass through ductwork in a plywood box filled with pea gravel.
The majority of the heat from the exhaust is transfered to the gravel before exiting up the chimney. By the time the gases exit the box, they are cool enough for me to put my hand on the chimney pipe.
After the fire burns out, the heat absorbed by the pea gravel slowly radiates out into the living space until the next fire is burned and the gravel is recharged with heat once again. I built this rocket mass heater for a fraction of the cost of a wood burning insert, with no special tools, materials, or skills.
It has been an unusually warm November and December here at the homestead. Normally we have to start burning wood in the rocket mass heater early November to stay comfortable but this year, the bitcoin mining dehydrator was enough to stay warm and do some food preservation simultaneously.
Transaction fees started climbing and I was shocked to see the most efficient miner I had approaching break even at my electric rate.
I didn't have the circuit to run it wired yet but this bump in fees was the motivation I needed to get the miner hashing. Coincidentally, the weather also started to get colder finally so getting the miner up and running was a win/win.
It successfully kept us and our guests warm through the holidays, even earning some Bitcoin beyond the cost of power at times, all while allowing us to save our firewood.
We did have to fire up the rocket mass heater a handful of times, but so far we've burned less than half the amount of wood compared to previous years. This is thanks to the combination of the warm weather, and high transaction fees allowing us to stay warm with heavily subsidized electric heat.
This might be the first winter we make it through with wood leftover for the next year, typically I'm scrounging for the last couple weeks.

Wow. So cool. I love Nostr people, so resourceful.

EssÀ om varför Sverige behöver köpa 27510 BTC
Sverige behöver göra nÄgot Ät sin finansiella politik. Storbanker gÄr med stor vinst, samtidigt som Riksbanken gÄtt 80 miljarder back. Trots detta förvÀntas Riksbanken vara den som stÄr för statlig insÀttningsgaranti, och att rÀdda bankerna i hÀndelse av akut likviditetskris. För dig som inte vet vad som hÀnde 2008 i USA, sÄ hÀnde just detta. Bankerna fick pengar av staten, som hamnade i aktieÀgares fickor.
Det hÀr blir helt skevt. De kommersiella bankerna fÄr spela "krona vinner jag, klave förlorar du" med Riksbanken. Sverige Àr ett litet land, och har drabbats av en vÀldigt försvagad krona. Vi behöver backa upp den pÄ nÄgot sÀtt. Mitt förslag Àr dÀrför att vi köper Bitcoin för ca 1% av skatteintÀkterna frÄn 2023. LÄt mig visa hur jag rÀknat.
I den mÄn man tror att Bitcoin kommer försvinna fungerar naturligtvis inte denna idé. Dock har mÄnga aktörer genom Ären försökt döda protokollet eller stoppa det, vilket inte har lyckats. Alldeles i dagarna har SEC (en finansiell myndighet i USA) efter domstolsbeslut tvingats tillÄta ETF:er riktade mot Bitcoin.
Det kommer aldrig finnas mer Àn 21 miljoner bitcoin. Varje enhet kan delas upp i 100 miljoner delar (satoshis). Det kan naturligtvis delas upp mer, men protokollet har inte stöd för att skicka enheter mindre Àn 1 satoshi. Just nu behöver vi inte mindre delar.
Det finns ca 8 miljarder mÀnniskor pÄ jorden. Av dem bor ca 10,5 miljoner i Sverige. Vi har alltsÄ ca 0,131% av vÀrldens befolkning.
0,131% av 21 miljoner (maxantalet Bitcoin) blir 27 510 Bitcoin, nÀrmare bestÀmt 262 000 Satoshi per person. Att köpa 27510 Bitcoin skulle i skrivande stund kosta 12 164 536 860 SEK.
Statens skatteintÀkter var 1286 miljarder Är 2022, och 1281 miljarder 2023. https://www.government.se/government-of-sweden/ministry-of-finance/central-government-budget/central-government-budget-in-figures/
Att lÀgga 12,2 miljarder pÄ att se till att Sveriges befolkning och dess valuta har nÄgon slags backning kan absolut betraktas som spekulativt. Men det Àr ocksÄ ett vÀldigt lÄngsiktigt tÀnkande. Vidare hade det inte varit nÄgot konstigt om Riksbanken hade behövt öka vÄra valutareserver med en liknande siffra.
Att kunna fÄ sÀkerstÀlla alla svenskars rÀttvisa stÀllning med vÀrldens enda absolut finita tillgÄng, till priset av 1% av skatteintÀkterna, kan pitchas politiskt Ät bÄde höger och vÀnster. En liberal regering kan lÄta varje invÄnare fÄ bestÀmma sjÀlv, eller till och med kunna ta ut sina 262000 satoshis. VÀnstern kan tycka det vara tilltalande att alla enligt denna berÀkning har tilldelats lika mycket, inte bara inom landet utan ocksÄ globalt. Och konservativa kan tilltalas av det fiskalt konservativa i Bitcoins monetÀra regler, och hur robust protokollet varit för förÀndringar frÄn maxantalet pÄ 21 miljoner Bitcoin.
Never thought I would do a podcast from 30,000 feet while visiting Africa to see and hear first hand how #Bitcoin is bringing an end to modern day slavery.

I always enjoy content from you, Jeff. Curious to hear more about you training your own AI.
I agree, at the moment. But this will have to be the future, to allow for more effective filters for bots and also to keep stuff running long term.
The best part is that everyone can choose. The market will decide.đ
Wow, this was powerful. Ouch. nostr:note1texj5a5m4uf54ryx60yacdkea5lmzq5h2l6cg3wehzt86smx6vtqh9vgqq
I find it fascinating to be an early adopter to the point that there is actually a chance of Jack Dorsey himself reading my comment. I wonder how this will scale when A LOT of people onboard. Just look at Elon's Twitter. Must be impossible to find the needles in the haystack of comments without proper algos.
The lack of ads and bots on Nostr is incredibly refreshing compared to other social apps. I am just waiting for the day when posting has to cost sats, because that would make sense in the long run.
How are you using Nostr in a way you could not with other social networks?
One thing I wish I knew more about before getting into bitcoin and going more public: privacy, opsec, anonymity, etc
My name and face are out there, and my affiliation to nostr:npub1fpcd25q2zg09rp65fglxuhp0acws5qlphpg88un7mdcskygdvgyqfv4sld, various writings, and more.
Iâm not saying itâs outright a bad thing, or that I regret it. For many, me using my name and face makes bitcoin more of a real and normal thing for them potentially. But sometimes I do wonder what nostr:npub1fpcd25q2zg09rp65fglxuhp0acws5qlphpg88un7mdcskygdvgyqfv4sld or my involvement in bitcoin would be like if I were totally anonymous. Would I be doing more? More or less impactful? đ€
Ah, well. Better late than never learning about some of these things.
I think anonymity can be a necessary and useful thing to a lot of people, but mostly for operating in a Bitcoin hostile environment or because of legal and political reasons. It has a lot of costs to entertain as well, just look at Gigi đœ and Rational Root đ„.
If you want to have leverage in influencing people, it's easier if they recognize you. For better or worse.
I understand a lot of people judge the book by its cover. But being honest with convictions actually builds more respect in the long run. If we all aim for (intellectual) honesty, imagine the conversations we could have.

It was a fascinating episode! I heard the thesis before, but it was well laid out. However, where the fungi insert itself into the food, Bitcoin seems to act more like a host organism that feeds whoever takes care of it.
Have we discovered/created a new life form?
