I am beginning to understand the different implications and benefits of #nostr , but as a social network layer, it might just fulfill the role that a certain M. Zuckerberg has espoused decades earlier of what his "platform" was supposed to do... 🤔
“Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell is predicting that more small banks will likely close or merge due to commercial real estate weaknesses, but that the problem is ultimately ‘manageable’.”
Is this Powell’s admission that small banks are being “sacrificed” for the bigger banks? #TooBigToFail

Yeah, they seem to make everything 'orange-looking'... 🍊🟠
Hmmm 🤔 , so nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm ever considered expanding your services to client/server or cloud #lightning nodes for individuals and companies? If lightning non-custodial nodes maybe a bit of a hard sale for private corporations and companies — the same cannot be said of a “cloud” setup. With the latter, most of them have more than a decade of experience.
I also have this thought that the same can be extended to nostr relays willing to keep ‘older’ posts and for how long. Some can even provide archival services, where they in turn get compensated for allowing others access to these older archives. 🤔

☹️ Sad to hear that… but, what’s Mastodon? (just kidding 🙃)
Agreed, especially on the 2nd to the last sentence. Posts or messages from public organizations or institutions, preferably, should have the required security of “multi-sig”. 🤔
## Intro
Nostrasia 2023, a vibrant unconference, was hosted in two bustling Asian cities: Hong Kong and Tokyo, Japan. Nostriches from around the world flocked to these destinations, eager to immerse themselves in local culture, savor the cuisine, and most importantly, enjoy each other's company in person. Tokyo's event, buzzing with energy, took place in Shibuya, a district renowned for its lively nightlife and abundance of bars, clubs, and restaurants. As is tradition with Nostr events, the atmosphere was charged with excitement, symbolized by the abundant purple and orange hues.

## Preparations
The journey to Nostrasia began right after Nostrica, with meticulous planning to ensure the perfect venue. It was a challenge to find a location that was both spacious and accessible, offering affordable accommodation options nearby. Our diligent volunteers in Japan scoured venues in Tokyo and Yokohama before selecting the ideal spot in Shibuya.

Wow, an “OnlyFans” for #Nostr.
So, that would be like T.A.P.s for #sats?
T.A.P.s = T*ts, A** and P**n. 😂

For the stakeholders in the crypto space, the (likely) pertinent question is, would the ff. ruling make all #stablecoins and #cryptocurrencies be legally 'constituted' as #securities , at least in the #US? -- "Judge Sides With SEC Over Do Kwon, Says $UST, $LUNA Are Securities" https://decrypt.co/211129/judge-sides-with-sec-over-do-kwon-says-ust-luna-are-securities -- #DoKwon #TerraLuna $USDC $USDT
