I think the issue with value 4 value is that it adds up quickly and becomes expensive in a sense that people are not used to that kind of spending.

The advertising model can afford to spend more as sellers make it back in profit.

Value 4 value shifts the “burden” to every user. I don’t know if this is a workable model 🤷‍♂️

Something tells me it’s not.

Thoughts?

I think I saw my first “crypto” post on #nostr today. I guess we’ll see if Bitcoiners are as psyched about Nostr when it’s not just #bitcoin talk.

I’m not a cynic, I think they/we will be. But I also think a lot of people say they want free speech when what they really want is a space full of people they agree with.

Dash woke up this morning and chose violence.

My belly and brain will thank you one day.

The real psyop is lemon sour.😈

I just want to drink a beer without the psyop. 🤷‍♂️

Oh, self-esteem, what a sham you are!

The concept seems simple enough. Think highly of yourself, and you'll feel fantastic! But wait, when you have low self-esteem, you feel terrible. So, it must be that thinking highly of yourself is the key to happiness! But hold on, because this logic is just plain absurd. Yet, we've been bombarded with this pop-psych gibberish for over 50 years, so it's no wonder people have bought into it.

Here's the truth: if you're feeling crummy about yourself, it's probably because your conscience is giving you a reality check. You've messed up, and deep down, you know you don't deserve to feel all warm and fuzzy.

But the self-esteem fanatics insist: cut yourself some slack, relax, forgive yourself. What a crock!

When you've done something wrong, pretending you're a saint won't fix anything. In fact, it'll just make everything worse. You'll end up suppressing your conscience, and that requires some heavy-duty anesthesia. You'll find yourself drowning that pesky inner voice with addictions, anything from hard drugs to workaholism. But the truth remains: you can't ignore that voice forever.

So, let's call self-esteem what it really is: self-delusion. You should feel good about yourself when you are, in fact, a good person. And you become a good person through good deeds. Someone scamming others shouldn't be strutting around like they're on top of the world.

So, let's kick the self-esteem charade to the curb and embrace a new mantra: actions speak louder than words. Forget about coddling yourself with empty platitudes, and focus on being the best version of yourself through meaningful actions. Strive for character, virtue, and self-reflection built on a foundation of doing, not feeling. Say goodbye to the self-esteem hoax and say hello to a life built on real accomplishments.

Your conscience will thank you.

good morning, mempools may never clear again

Who is going to #nostrasia ?

I ate two cinnamon buns and I am feeling funny.

Is this what Fiat Food does to you ?

#BTC  is a unique asset in the history of humanity in the sense that all other assets have two variables (supply and demand)

We know #Bitcoin  supply with mathematical precision. The only variable is demand.

#Bitcoin  continues to fascinate.

This entire game is about energy preservation & appreciation of your purchasing power, over medium/long periods of time. Strip all of the economic & financial dogma away, and keep it simple:

Technology is more advanced than ever, yet prices keep going up, as more units of currency perpetuate the system; it never ends.

The idea of an absolutely scarce monetary asset with supply inelasticity relative to demand, tied directly to energy markets with an ever increasing marginal production cost, is so profound, that most dismiss it outright; are repulsed by it even. It breaks worldviews.

A majority of people are so comfortably dependent on the incumbent system, that they will decide defend a ticking time bomb.

A small minority understand the system as it exists from within, yet defend it for reasons of self interest and greed; dishonorable but understandable given the incentives.

The rest are useful idiots, defending the system while being exploited by its very existence. This cohort is definitively in the blast radius, due to their own sheer ignorance and/or incompetence.

On the other side, there exists an intransigent and uncompromising minority of people who have come to understand the ultimate reality of both systems. Economic game theory and a desire for a different rules based order leads them to simply just leave to start playing a different game entirely.
