Just a random Google:

https://knoema.com/atlas/Germany/High-technology-exports

It says here that Germany, Europe's largest economy, has $223b in "high tech" exports per year, however "high tech" is defined.

The same site reveals $89b for Japan where Japan has a larger population (but not larger economy because duh).

https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/high_tech_exports/

This here ranks Germany 2nd, before the USA and only after China which has 15x the population.

And Germany is just one country in Europe and all the "socialism" that you're decrying there applies there to the extent of my knowledge.

Relays will have some barrier to entry eventually and not just a financial one.

The current free-for-all will only last while nostr is small and flies under the radar.

With bitrefill alone you can buy everything you need on a daily basis, from food, clothes, gasoline, household appliances, etc.

With shopinbit you can even buy cars.

What I see here are prices quoted in fiat that presumably will be converted to Bitcoin on checkout at the ever wildly fluctuating exchange rate. So prices in Bitcoin effectively fluctuate wildly. How can you plan financially? Like do you set aside a bitcoin budget for food each month and expect it to last?

Dunning-Kruger

Where are those shops? What are some of items. Are the prices stable. How does the shopkeeper pay their suppliers.

It doesn't have value unless you trade it for fiat.

Listen in to learn more about the different paradigm that Rusty introduces here, so that developers can build more functionality and efficiency in, hopefully so that more people can use Bitcoin in self-custody.

A fork? Remember to include PR 29778 https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29778

That's 19k customers paying $10 a month. How many users does Twitter have?

You don't have to start with 24 TB. Scale as you grow your customer base.

Highest has 24 TB in fact with 448 cores.

You'll be serving a lot of paying customers with this.

Keep it all in RAM. Biggest EC2 instance has 12 TB IIRC.

Government is what grants you your riches in the first place.

It only has value if you sell it for fiat.
