I don’t get it.

#Bitcoin price action is slight negative if people think Kamala Harris is going to win.

But wouldn’t you want Bitcoin if you think she’s an evil commie? Wouldn’t you want resistance money?

And if Trump wins, and you think he’s an evil fascist, wouldn’t you want resistance money?

I honestly feel so disconnect from these fiat games and politics with Bitcoin. Jesus, just buy Bitcoin not matter what! Stack it, hold it, save it, use it. It’s not rocket science. It will be good for you, no matter what your background or ideology is.

the crawling has started and I have not stopped moving

How are we, the United States, going to recover from this? We aren’t likely to recover in any meaningful way, but then I’m no expert. There’s 50+ years of making the money printer go brrrr. Much of that happened within the last 4 years. We’ve been able to get away with it so long because of the USD world reserve currency status, but eventually the chickens come home to roost. We’re getting rather close to having our #debt payments to service this debt cost more than what we take in via taxes. #Hyperinflation then takes hold and we’re in serious trouble. #Bitcoin prevents this from happening in the first place.

During my time in Ghana, I had the honor of being part of an incredible project with Hive bringing water wells to communities in need. Projects like these remind us that we're here to make a difference, to help where we can, and to leave the world better than we found it. Let's keep pushing for change.

I completely agree that it's astonishing how much people share about their personal lives online. I've noticed that whenever I take a break from social media, it's as if I've fallen off the face of the earth, friends seem to forget about me altogether. I also feel the same way when I don't participate, it's like I'm being left out. It's like you can only be friends now if you're actual friends online. Digital friendship has almost overtaken personal, real friendship, and now I can understand why everyone feels so lonely. Before, if you wanted to see how a friend was doing, you would have to go see them or call them. Now people can feel like they know what's going on with you with zero interaction because they can see your posts. I post less now, but there was a time when I posted a lot. I've deleted everything basically now, besides X and Nostr. It was eye-opening when I would talk to someone who I hadn't talked to in a long time and they could bring up so much stuff about me that we never personally spoke about to them.

Also, it's becoming increasingly dangerous to post too much identifiable information. A lot of attacks and robberies are being planned based on information someone posts on their social media.

It's crazy how people tie their self-worth to online validation, likes, comments, and followers have become the ultimate measure of popularity. This creates a lot of anxiety and stress associated to social media use. Even on Instagram, people are ditching traditional posts for stories, likely because there is less pressure to get likes and comments.

Social media has changed a lot. It's definitely ingrained into society now. One of the biggest dangers is that the algorithm has the ability to shape minds all over the world. They can make you perceive whatever they want. Social media I think, can be a good or bad thing based on how you use it. You can scroll your feed chronologically on X, think for yourself, or fall into the "For You" page and be told how to think. The danger is that they are all run by big corporations that have done everything they can to make it as addictive as possible, so it's actually become a net negative for most people. They are also not in the business of making you happier or smarter, so they will push whatever governments or corporations tell them to. Maybe Nostr fixes this.

about time!

Oh my god, there’s a reply girl 🤯

its not a protocol level solution, its just some user settings that dont yet exist

no, in theory wot relays, wot clients, lightning network.. thats what all my 'game theory' ideas keep coming back to as a solution. but i think im about a year ahead of everyone from running these relays and seeing all the spam all the time. you dont follow that many people so you may not see the endless misery of the users that it's not fixed for, gave up, etc.
