What do you say to someone that says: "We must pay taxes"

#asknostr #taxes

How does Brave Search compare against Duck Duck Go, when it comes to:

1. Privacy of the user?

2. Quality of the results?

#asknostr

🤦‍♂️

The idea that you "can't delete stuff on Nostr" is a misdirection about what Nostr actually is. Nostr relays are just independent web servers. You absolutely can reach out to a relay operator and ask them to delete your stuff from their relay, as you can with any other website. In some jurisdictions they are legally obligated to do this. Kind 5 deletion events just automate this process. When people say "you can't delete stuff on Nostr" they mean you can't easily automate the process because of the same problem Outbox Model aims to solve, and/or that there are jurisdictions where relay operators don't have to care or choose to ignore you anyway. However this is not actually different or special from anywhere else on the internet, except that maybe on Nostr your content can travel to more places faster to begin with. It's not really an excuse not to try. When you delete stuff on the Fediverse, it gets removed from 99% of places automatically because the developers have decided to try instead of resigning themselves because "it's too hard" or will "never be perfect anyway".

#nostr shall revolutionize enterprise information systems - more I think about it bigger seems the pardigm shift ..

Bigger than #bitcoin

"Store of value" always follows properties of "store of information" .. #bitcoin

Here are fundamental key: value pairs // with relevant property as comments

speech : barter //synchronous

text : gold // space-time portable

byte : bitcoin // Digitally portable.

My ass will soon be unemployed and I still live on a fiat standard so instead of real copper I got galvanized steel for roof gutters and paint in shade of copper.

Which was basically just brown. So I went there again and got some spray with metallic effect instead.

It turn out great I think.

USA 🇺🇸: The strategy of the Democratic Party + Media alliance is set:

There will be no talk of Trump, neither good nor bad—the less he's mentioned, the better. When the public questions the absence of the Republican candidate, the justification will be that his speeches contain false statements and, therefore, should not be given any space.

Will it work? I don't know, but the understanding of the alliance is that in 2016 (the year Trump defeated the media's candidate, H. Clinton), Trump was given too much coverage, and they don't want to "repeat the same mistake."

By sharing the strategy of the DP + Media, it doesn't mean I agree with it; the intention is merely to inform so that people understand the "disappearance" of Trump from the news.

PSA: If your relay does not support NIP-09 (event deletion), I am removing it NOW.

NIP-09 respects the fact that privacy-conscious folks may not want everything they post on Nostr to be archived on a permanent record.

Did we not learn anything from Snowden?

In garnet and Amethyst, go to your relays and tap on the name to see the NIPs each relay supports.

The ability to delete events is not just about "not owning up to past comments"; it also respects the fact that among many potential issues (including malicious relays), people may accidentally doxx themselves and want that post removed. This can be especially dangerous for women who are dealing with stalkers or abusive exes, etc.

Using relays that do not respect users' requests to delete events poses significant privacy and potential safety issues, and I will not continue to support the reluctance of relay runners to adopt and honor NIP-09 event deletion requests.

The gold price reaching new highs could signal clear risk aversion in the markets.

However, Bitcoin has tended to follow gold's pricing trend with a few months' delay.

The current consolidation will only end when we see an improvement in liquidity structure, something worth monitoring closely.

🚨 The value moved on the Bitcoin network in the first two quarters of this year has already surpassed the total for the entire previous year.

With each new cycle, the volume of monetary transactions on the network increases, which in turn generates even greater liquidity.

In the first quarter of this year, more than $4.6 trillion in BTC was moved.

As a direct reflection of the increase in pricing, on-chain activity continues its long-term growth trend.

This kind of information solidifies Bitcoin's position as a new monetary system.
