Let me be clear:

FUCK ALL FREEDOM-HATING COMMIES

As long as we're at 58k, I'm not buying jack all else, locked in, do you understand?

We have a part of the population called THE YOUTH who I suspect in the future will hate journalists, editors and politicians for what they did:

Stealing the kids' future.

Norway's fertility rate dropped from 2,0 in 2009 to 1.4 children per woman by 2022, and the same in 2023.

Norway's fertility rate dropped from 2,0 in 2009 to 1.4 children per woman by 2022, and the same in 2023.

People on Nostr know the difference.

There are those who come here with certain expectations (images don't load, can't find users, DM privacy sucks, no blue checkmarks, ...) and a conflicted mind that doesn't let them enjoy the freedom of chaos. They need it to be wrong and broken so they can handle the dissonance when going back to Elon's private global hellscape.

Then there are those who come and see an infinite space of possibilities and also challenges, they see the beauty in the chaos. They know that this protocol owes them exactly nothing.

They ask: what can I do with nostr what has never been done before? And slowly they realize how big this question really is.

Although September may have some weak data points, I have officially pivoted from Dr. Bullcrab to Dr. Bull.

Bullish macro and liquidity tailwinds are coming soon.

It won’t happen all at once… in fact, it will start slowly at first…

But it will happen.

I expect the next 14 months of #bitcoin price action to be generally lit.

#Halloween2025 is my next major target date.

(For infotainment purposes only.)

Agreed. Then there is the problem of a single private key. If that key is compromised, we are no longer in control over our identity. This is particularly problematic for companies that need to share their private key with several people.

If Nostr were to have two private keys, one of them a master key with admin capabilities for the identity, the protocol would need a new architecture.

As a result, whenever a Nostr spin-off architecture solves this problem, every company, corporation and security-minded user will migrate to the protocol with higher security. That's just how things work.

Yeah you convinced me to change my ways by being rude.

#Bitcoin is always $58K nostr:note1hjsu24azxhqs5mgujrntal4e04vut5gq269j4xgmrr3p66sttqrsy8avpp

Every time I go to a venue where I can pay with bitcoin I ask the waitress/er if they want a tip I would be glad to do it but only in Bitcoin.

They say they do not want it.

Then I tell them:

- Is you don’t want MONEY that is your choice. Thank you for the service.

Orange pill the waiters.

Topic: Bitcoin price discovery

More and more #bitcoin is taken off exchanges, but nonetheless the crab market continues to keep poking bitcoiners in the eye.

I asked Grok:

"If we ignore bitcoin futures trading, is it possible that trading of "paper bitcoin" on crypto exchanges has such volume that it affects the bitcoin spot price?"

Grok's conclusive remarks were:

"The sentiment from posts on X and broader market analysis suggests that while spot ETFs and direct ownership of Bitcoin are significant, the derivatives market's volume and its impact on price cannot be understated. This indicates that even without considering futures, the trading volume of what might be colloquially termed "paper Bitcoin" on crypto exchanges could indeed affect the Bitcoin spot price through mechanisms like sentiment, arbitrage, and leveraged trading. However, the exact extent of this influence would require detailed market data analysis beyond what's typically available in public discussions or general insights from X posts."

Comments?

Excluding futures, can trading of "paper bitcoin" negatively affect bitcoin price discovery in theory or practice?

is it backwards world where Arab nations are defending free speech and the liberal west is punishing it?
