This heatbit company is shit. I paid 1200 for a heatbit and it is a paper weight now. Stopped working after 2 months. Customer service just strimgs me along with excuses and its been over a month and i havent got a replacement. I finally initiated a charge back on my credit card.

If you want to see the email copies i can show you i saved them all.

I disagree with a lot of it but it provides interesting points and historical arguments for things.

That's why I was curious to hear peoples' thoughts.

Often when I write about money I get an email like, "but have you read Graeber?" and I'm like, "oh here we go again" because it takes time to address.

A fiscal deficit is a surplus for the private sector. Higher debt service results in a larger deficit, which means more money will enter the economy through the interest rate channel.

Feels good knowing that we all contributed to that number ⚡️💜

I see you are following 370, is that right?

I find it that it helps to have channels with people that you can talk to and communicate with regularly 🤙🏽

Comparing the internet or Bitcoin to nostr is either some super genius mega brain shit that I won't understand or pure idiotic engagement farming bullshit.

Going forward all social networks have to start with Nostr and either provide better experience or brand. The incentives are clear. If you could get a million users from a day one on your new app - would you say "nah, I don't want that"?

This really underscores the massive difference between protocol and a platform. With platform there are artificial bottlenecks, like deplatforming, API limits, competition prevention, worry of being rugpulled in future. With protocol you can't get de-protocoled, anyone can handle as many API calls as they can handle, etc.

And somehow magically this just so perfectly fits in the current geopolitical and econ situation. With the current interest rates, money is no longer free and so we are no longer chasing the biggest captured userbase, but rather the profits & time-to-sustainability.

"Captured userbase" just doesn't matter as a metric anymore. It no longer makes any sense. Do you have userbase? Yes. All applications can have userbase of millions in a single day if they choose so. And what does that remind me of? Yes, that's why we bitcoin!

#[0], #[1], I'm interested in whether this is completely wrong take :)

Hello world.
