Stumbling around

Which one? Blackrock's "IBIT" ETF says $21M volume up until now: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/IBIT/

how does "Pre-Market" work?

Permissioner grudgingly permits trading of permissionless money

Next the SEC will approve the #Bitcoin spot ETF on April Fool's Day

#Bitcoin is sound money, it can't be created arbitrarily.

Bitcoin is also freedom money, it can't be taken arbitrarily.

Which of the two is more important?

The term "unhosted wallet" is designed to present custodial (hosted) wallets as the norm, and self-custody as abnormal.

Fight back and normalize the term "non-sovereign wallet". This presents self-custody as the default, and draws attention to the fact that self-sovereignty is possible with #Bitcoin

As far as I understand this, securities (like stocks) that are owned by X (could be a person, a company, a pension fund) are also part of the collateral pool of Y (the bank that holds the security) and Z (the larger bank(s) above Y in the banking hierarchy).

That means, if Y or Z find themselves in a crisis situation for whatever reason, they can use X's securities to bail themselves out of trouble. Of course that also means that X got robbed blind.

So far the bots are quite lame, they mostly have zero notes published. I'm expecting ChatGPT-generated convos to flood the protocol soon

I don't know exactly. Likely part of the plan is gaming "Web of Trust", by hoping that some people will follow them back. Maybe it's about discrediting the #Nostr protocol. Over half of my followers are bots, I think.

The silent-follow bots are back in full force

I just tried it - getting closer indeed!

In my opinion, what's still missing is for the user to find people that would be interesting to them specifically, based on their interests. Right now it's very Nostr- and Bitcoin-centric.

No doubt it's very early, and I much appreciate what you are building here. That said, I would recommend that you try the "newbie experience" every few months, with a fresh nsec and pretending to have zero inside knowledge about how stuff works here.
