Do Americans see Canadians as foreigners?

More friends to play with. A lot of them are cool. All the stack chain plebs for example. I guess they decided to stay for the network effect 🤷🏾‍♂️

VPS = virtual private server. You rent a machine where you can install a relay, or whatever else you want to host on it. You can access it via clearnet (= regular internet, not tor). That’s what I did when I setup my haven relay. There’s other solutions too, less complicated but a bit more expensive where you can create a relay and just have it hosted directly on a VPS. No need to set it up yourself. Like relay tools for example.

The start9 relay has less functionality than those. Different types of solutions for different needs.

I think Semisol was also working on personal relays integrated to nostr land.

what happened there to make them come here?

Of course not

No 😂

You don’t want it to be on your local system? It can be hosted on a remote VPS for example

Why I run Knots.

Why?

The tweet stuck at the top of my feed right now. Hopefully everyone on X is seeing the same thing on repeat.

Folks commenting on AI created video/film and how cool and realistic it is make me sad

It feels like AI is generations away from capturing the human spirit in artistry. Those gawking at it in its current state are not tapped into their own humanity.

The arts are alive and well in humanity. With AI it’s still a monstrosity

This emoji 💪 should have two sides, left and right.

Personal preference.😁

Good morning 🌞💜

Happy weekend folks, goats and throat goats. 😛😆🙃

With X down, it could be a good time to run your own Nostr node. #nostr

He's a maxi. He submitted his allegiance when Canada won against the USA in the January tournament.

Fair anecdote. I’m just pointing you towards seemingly coherent, intentional, and intelligent users that exist.

They'll get there

It's okay, breathe it in

Gm..

It’s a beautiful day to be alive..

River's report says that 50 million Americans own Bitcoin

There's no reason to give up 🫂

I'm not much of a doomer though, so I'm not very much into dystopian stories

But it seems like that book has become very popular in the Bitcoin community

Nah man not yet my reading list was already loaded so I didn't pick it up

What advice would you give a zoomer ready to start out in this world? #asknostr

You don't see many people who understand the free market actually talking about the free market all the time because they are busy doing stuff and making things happen

Intellectuals hate the free market

Maybe because:

1. It cannot be controlled, planned, designed or predicted

2. It will often yield outcomes that they don't personally like

3. Their livelihood is uncertain under those conditions

4. They need to constantly produce work that people actually find useful for their lives

5. A non-intellectual who has not read a single book or had a formal education can become wealthy and successful

6. Nobody's position at the top, middle or bottom is guaranteed or permanent, so much so that there might be no such thing as a well-defined 'top, middle or bottom'

Austrian answers to some common Bitcoin questions:

'Why buy a house when it makes more sense to buy bitcoin and rent a place?'

Because some people like to live in their own house for their own reasons.

'Why buy anything with an appreciating currency when it will be cheaper in the future?'

Because people want things for survival, sustenance, leisure and comfort. Some things they will want now while others they will want later. Nevertheless, people will want things.

'Why invest in a business when the money you hold will likely outperform it?'

Because someone else might value the money you hold more than you and is willing to take it off your hands in exchange for the promise of paying the difference.

'Why would anyone work or produce anything at all or want to own anything if money just keeps appreciating?'

Because production requires capital, energy, time, resources and land. The more scarce these things are, conflicts occur. To do anything at all, people need to agree upon norms of ownership.

I am sure the psychopaths here can think of a lot more interesting ways they can be violent with a fence 😄

I can zap you with an electric fence ⚡️
