Within the first 20 seconds he says…

ā€œIn my opinion, bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency with any value—full stop. I don’t even believe in ethereum. It’s because bitcoin has a decentralized management structure, a decentralized organizational structure, and it’s because bitcoin has a known monetary policy where there will only be 21 million of them.

Every other cryptocurrency in my opinion is an unregulated security, it has a CEO, and they have a policy of issuing some number of tokens based on what the CEO or others say. As long as that’s the case it’s really just like the government…they can just dilute their crypto. And so all crypto in my opinion is a fraud.

Bitcoin is actually an important technological innovation which is immutable digital scarcity.ā€

RIOT PLATFORMS, INC. STATEMENT: THE NEW YORK TIMES’ POLITICALLY DRIVEN ATTACK ON BITCOIN MINING IS FULL OF DISTORTIONS & OUTRIGHT FALSEHOODS

I’m finding it busier with less relays. Go figure.

Clients are Damus and Snort.social. With these relays it seems I can switch between clients and not lose anything.

The black follow button goes away when you’re following an account.

But press where the button would be…and it comes back. Presto—account unfollowed.

ā€œIf foreigners no longer want them for trade, central bank reserves, private wealth funds, and the official currency of about a dozen countries, all those dollars have nowhere to go but back to us in a flood like our country has never seen. This flood will compete for goods and services in the US against the dollars already here as decades of accumulated trade deficits come flooding back all at once.

At that point, hyperinflation will not be hyperbole.ā€

How/where do we do that?

Also saw that. Lost my follows several times trying different relays.

This was helpful:

I use the ā€œNostoreā€ extension on iOS. (Works great). It stops and asks for permission when a Nostr client wants to do anything.

It’s shows the pending event as an xml page of what it’s going to do.

At one point I was following ~3500 accounts and the event to add/remove a contact was miles-long! Had to scroll for like 5 minutes to get to the bottom and approve it.

Updates to follow/following lists won’t scale. Hopefully this will get visibility in a Nip and be improved to not include all accounts list for changes.

Nice to find lots of good follows in global again

So yeah. If you post a link to a note ID—you need to put an @ in front of it.

In the Damus client you get the note ID by pressing the ā€œ3 dotā€ menu and choosing ā€œcopy note IDā€. On other clients it might be different.

Anyhow! Have a great day PJ šŸ˜€

Dang, that didn’t work.

Let’s try this

I’ve heard it’s only on snort.social

So many new non-bitcoin accounts coming to Nostr. Network effect go up

Intriguing (and entertaining) analysis of what lurks behind the banking crisis.

Some signal has gone out. Seeing shit like this everywhere.

(d) The stages of the rise and fall of great nations seem to be:

The Age of Pioneers (outburst) The Age of Conquests

The Age of Commerce

The Age of Affluence

The Age of Intellect

The Age of Decadence.

(e) Decadence is marked by:

Defensiveness

Pessimism

Materialism

Frivolity

An influx of foreigners

The Welfare State

A weakening of religion.

(f) Decadence is due to:

Too long a period of wealth and power Selfishness

Love of money

The loss of a sense of duty.

Seem familiar?

Written in 1978 and speaking for itself in 2023.

ā€œFate of Empires and Search for Survivalā€ is a worthy read (26 pages).
