Agree on all points. But we're living with the consequences and we can only look forward.
Value is subjective. There are no irrational or wrong ways to use bitcoin.
If people desire digital collectibles as the global power structure tightens its grip on humanity, then that's on them so long as they're willing to pay the price (and I suspect in more than one way, over the long term).
That being said, ordinals are not great for *my* ends. I don't care how neat it is that there's a Doom clone on bitcoin. I'm not in it for the tech, I'm in it for the liberty.
HOWEVER
If there's a use for ordinals that pushes liberty in a positive direction, then that would align with my ends. For instance, #[0] posted a note yesterday saying someone inscribed the Yankee Boogle auto sear CAD file. It's a simple 3d printable drop-in part that'll make your AR style firearm shoot funny. Now those plans are forever accessible to anyone and that's pretty amazing.
Need to think about this more but for now we're gonna have to deal with lots of low effort grift. The worst thing we can do is immediately react via some change to bitcoin or have nodes start censoring.
Bitcoin will persist. After all, if bitcoin can't survive jpegs then it certainly can't survive a state level attack, and therefore isn't fit to exist.
Enjoy! I'll see you there in spirit (meaning I won't see you there)
Lady you have a mf cast iron for dipping sauces 😂
Definitely. Lots of growing pains for sure but very exciting to witness
Too late! There are 6 high rises going up within a 2 block radius of me. A bunch more in other areas downtown. It's all cranes man
Gm from Austin.
Our skyline will look completely different in 5 years.
He just wanted to phone home 😭
After how brazen they were with covid, a fake alien threat could make that look like a dress rehearsal. Not to mention uniting people behind the ultimate "other" will be easy. There's literally no humanity in an enemy like that so any natural instinct to empathize will never be triggered.

Oh hmm I don't remember that. I'll have to revisit it.
I'm no sake guy but I'm sure it's expensive and impressive. Pics next time you indulge.
I feel like you can't get any crazier than a fake UFO threat so that might be the final boss. After that they won't need to pretend like they need the pretense of consent with these 'current things'.
Oh yeah absolutely
Build one
Lol that was in my rotation a few years ago. Honestly it was the nick mullen show. Stav and Adam didn't add anything
We should just all go in on a place near BP and Airbnb it 3 weeks out of every month
I'm gonna have to rent an apartment there at this clip
If you run a business, decentralized decision making leads to a disjointed product or service.
I think more granular relay configs would be awesome. Is there a way to prioritize relays as well?
Oops I meant "for you" not following. But you get what I'm saying.
The fact that Twitter defaults to "following" has made me abandon it almost entirely. It was semi-usable when you could set the feed to "latest" / chronological
I'll tell you what, I'm not upgrading to that
Your reply just made me think it would be nice to have vertical aspect ratio images hidden after a certain height value lol.
Agree tho, awesome update. #[16] is killing it.
#[0] is there any way to have specific relays only active when on WiFi?
Would like to pare down the number of relays I'm connected to while on a data connection.
Had that happen before I used paid relays. I had to refollow everyone.
