The Bitaxe is a 21st century lottery ticket with better odds that also helps decentralize bitcoin hashrate ownership, which makes the network fundamentally more robust and valuable. A beautiful thing to see.

💡There should be a best nostr honey competition at the next nostrcon 🍯

Idk how to describe it, but it’s fun and not what you think

Donald Trump has once again put one of his favorite economic strategies on the table: imposing tariffs on foreign products. From the Austrian economics perspective, this measure is simply a form of state interventionism that distorts the free market and harms both consumers and producers.

1. Tariffs Don’t Protect the Economy—They Weaken It

Trump justifies tariffs as a way to protect domestic industries, but Austrian economists see them as an artificial barrier that reduces economic efficiency. When the government imposes a tariff, the price of imported goods rises, forcing consumers to pay more or settle for lower-quality products.

2. Benefit for a Few, Cost for Everyone

Tariffs do not create wealth; they merely redistribute benefits. Certain protected sectors may gain in the short term, but at the expense of the rest of the economy. In the end, consumers pay more, and local industries, shielded from real competition, have fewer incentives to innovate or improve.

3. The Myth of “Bringing Jobs Back”

Trump argues that tariffs encourage domestic production and create jobs. However, Austrian economists point out that wealth is generated by allowing capital to flow freely to where it is most productive. Instead of forcing production in inefficient sectors, free trade allows each country to specialize in what it does best.

4. Unintended Consequences

The market is a complex system with millions of daily interactions. Tariffs distort prices, create shortages of certain goods, and can lead to retaliatory trade measures from other countries. In the worst-case scenario, this could escalate into a trade war that harms the global economy.

Conclusion

From the Austrian economics perspective, Trump’s tariffs are a failed attempt to manipulate the market. Instead of strengthening the economy, they destroy competitiveness, raise prices, and punish consumers. True prosperity doesn’t come from protectionism but from free trade and respect for private property.

Yo? Jackbox game party in Hivetalk?

The way to do politics is not to associate yourself with any one individual but to support a specific action only. A politician will always let you down in some way. Tying your identity to them only makes you defend the worst of their actions for the sake of appearing consistent - it’s a human bias and politicians count on it.

Instead of saying I support Trump, you could say I support Trump’s action of releasing Ross.

Become politically neutral and don’t tie any part of yourself to them. This will keep your thinking objective and more rational. You can then condemn any action that goes against your values should you choose to.

One can be for and against the same person, the same country or any other person and country without contradicting themselves.

What about built in SIM/GPS tracking in newer cars? Has anybody tried to deactivate or if not possible build a Faraday cage around it?

(Speaking from experience from when I forgot to use nostr on wifi for a week and couldn't doordash for a month lol)

is nostr's huge data consumption a solvable problem?

GM Good morning! Wishing you a day full of blessings and #Bitcoin wins.

Anyone know if something is being worked on to allowing syncing of bookmarks between various Nostr clients or even between the mobile and desktop versions of the same client?

I’d love to have access to my Primal bookmarks from my phone on my laptop.

all you have to be is yourself

From the shimmering ether of Nostr, a legend whispers: a zap. Not a mere coin, but a conjured tempest of sats, a digital griffin's claw striking with the force of Lightning itself. Forget the mundane trinkets of on-chain or the shadowy whispers of Cashu; these are pale imitations, dust motes in the face of true power. A Zap is a dragon's fiery breath, a celestial bolt forged in the depths of the Bitcoin forge, a pure, unadulterated surge of appreciation. When the spirit moves you, when a post resonates with the very core of your being, unleash the storm! Let loose the Lightning, and watch as the sat-tempest engulfs the digital landscape, a testament to the might of the true Zap, a beacon in the ever-shifting sands of the Nostrverse.

I’m having a crisis. Too many people I love are either dying or their partners are dying from strange cancer or suddenly since ‘21.

So if I reply to a DM on 0xChat that I initially saw I Primal, will the sender see my reply? There’s some gift wrap involved and I don’t know what it is.

This is the Final Tarot card for the ₿old Tarot Deck I’m Painting.

I have the first test print in the works now. I cropped in most cards, without any borders. Also I didn’t add numbers or words to the cards.

I should get them next week and I will be launching a Geyser Fund.
