Okay, so I tried explaining to my coworker who buys gold, that gold will never be an economic standard again because it's used in plenty of electronics and other things now, and something being used in commodities can't be a standard of economy

And he's like "when the computers go down, all that will be left is what you hold in your hand"

To stop myself from further ranting out of frustration, the summary is, I'm slowly coming to terms that some people will not understand the future before it hits them like a bag of bricks

Because an hour and a half of googling, pulling up facts, and explaining things as simple as i could, a 44 year old man still told me I was wrong🙃🫠

You can't tell me we haven't been ideologically subverted to choose personal opinions over facts

Sorry

" Those who do not embrace adventure will never overcome the barrier. "

What is adventure?

It is exploring outside your comfort zone?

Is it looking within your own mind and attempting to understand the puzzle of yourself?

Is it simply the feeling of doing something new and expanding your horizons?

Whatever adventure is to you

Have you embraced it today?

Nostr build is great, thank you #[0]

3 things

1.) Elon claims much, delivers little

Tesla is a step towards making vehicles greener? Lies.

What happens to the LITHIUM batteries in 10 years?

2.) Q4 2020 Elon admits in the stockholder meeting that he only created tesla/boring co to generate money for space x

3.) We will never be a space faring civilization until we unite as one human race, and figure out a sustainable/renewable energy source

Idk why he is trying to run when he doesn't even know how to crawl. With all his money, there are several avenues he could take towards building to the future he wants to see, yet he insists on doing nothing for the betterment of future generations just so he can see part of his dream during his life time. Imo, if he really wanted the betterment of the human race, he would create an educational facility that teaches children to be autodidatic, so every future generation is curious about the world around them and constantly grows. Then one of them will have the ability to create what he wishes to see. Rn, if what he wants is made, how will the fragmented race we call humanity abuse it? What will be done with the technology? Can it really be called "betterment"?

How does having a website hosted on Nostr.build benefit me?

Is it worth spending the extra sats for the creator tab?

Gonna be googling and researching it a bit more

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction

Ohhhh, im about to be flooding comments with so many gifs

Thank you boss 🫡🫂

I hope you had a great day

Ok

Copy and pasting gifs doesn't work

Will figure that out

Awww fuck

I didn't deserve that🫣

Something I've realised is that in the NFT twitter space I come from, people don't care very much about verifying or understanding the technology at play

They just want to trust the founder and gamble their money for the hope of making more

I want to take what I'm learning on Nostr, and help them better understand the "web3" banner they fly so proudly

Hopefully, they will see the light, and understand there is a reason the US government classified every crypto as assets, except bitcoin 🤷‍♂️

If nothing else, I want them to see that if they just add some value to their engagement farming practices they could fully utilize the value for value system of Nostr

I'm working on setting up my own relays and curating the TL so the eth people I get to come over can have a landing zone where they can understand the ethos of Nostr before flooding into it

Your posts have honestly taught me a lot about this space and I really appreciate the lessons. Idk if its rude to zap back, but even if it is, I do me🤷‍♂️🫶

I recently had this explained to me

I find it quite interesting how many terms are used for purely marketing purposes that until now I had believed I understood

Like decentralization, web3, and block chain

Coming from the NFT twitter scene to here, where people actually understand the technology being used, it's like visiting a new world

And I'm loving every second of it

Binance

Imo they're next

It is required

I have to know if im going to be bored on the date or not

If I go to a girl's social media, and find nothing but beach/party pics with short boring captions, ik the conversation is going to last less than 20 minutes, and I'll just end up feeling a waste of time

Hot chicks with zero personality < cute chick's that can hold a conversation over a variety of topics for hours

Women worry about being killed or raped, I'm worried about being bored

The world we live in 🙄🤦‍♂️

Idk what kind of guy I am

Just one trying to die with as few regrets as possible ig

Anyway, I hope you have a great day 🫡

Why isn't gold an economic standard anymore?

We found uses for it besides being a pretty rock

The basis of an economy can't be something used within commodities

Why is the bitcoin standard theory even possible?

Because btc has already been proven as a store of value, and can now be used as a medium of exchange

I wonder people will read the writing on the wall? 🤔

This is something I often think about

What if an educational system could be created that teaches children to be autodidatic so they can be self teaching. I believe that by helping them discover their creativity and pointing then in the direction of who they want to become, they will grow up into confident self loving adults

Now just to build a place that can do that 🫡

I haven't tried Iris yet, but I'll check it out

Been using amethyst, but I've been having problems with it

Thank you for the laugh and clarification 🤣

Anyone ever seen that movie "Nerve"?

With the little Franco

Cause this reminds me of the app from the movie🤣

All I can think is how long before someone puts a ridiculous bounty like 30 million sats to eat a piece of literal shit🙄

Now saying I wouldn't be down tho, could be a fun idea, and is def worth more thought

#[0]

Sometimes I feel like I'm learning about this and understanding more

Other times I know I'm still ignorant compared to many

All the time I find joy in learning more

Hey whitlam, thanks for joining 🫶

Few things:

You'll need a wallet of satoshi or another LN compatible wallet to be able to zap people Sats

Set one up, then put the address in your LN URL in the profile page, this will automatically connect it so you can send/reicieve sats

I'll tip you your sats once you have that set up, so you can go on your own zapping spree🫡

If you want to earn more in the future

Explore the relays you've connected with, find people who are providing what you call value

Tip them sats

Then work on providing your own kind of value

And they'll do the same

Value for value based protocol

Not an algorithm based on

If you want to grow on here, work on being a valuable person to those around you. Thoughtful replies, and being yourself will get you far on here

Even if I'm still learning that😅

Don't forget to follow #[3] & #[4]

Will be having another space soon to talk more about the relays, and the tech being used here, so we can all better understand it
