NGL that was pretty annoying when they stopped prior. Had to spend some time with employer to remedy the deposit bounce.

Statists and central planners take for granted that 99% of the internet is privately funded, yet cannot fathom how highway ands railroad networks could ever function without government largesse.

The SEC keeps getting beclowned.

I know everybody's excited about the SEC losing in court, and it is indeed an important victory, but it's worth bearing in mind that Gensler knew he was acting outside the law long before the verdict. The largest institutions care less about what is legal than what they can get away with.

Given how long it takes the courts to rule, it is a reminder that in the context of the government's own misconduct, there are limits to the utility of law.

I think that as long as the face of nostr is social media clients, it will struggle gaining mass adoption. The job that it does as a social media tool is super valuable and important, but not top of mind for people.

As we build more apps and tools on top of nostr, we’ll have a better chance of new folks sticking around and also getting the opportunity to experience the social side.

"bank-level security" is a negative term these days 😂

Truly remarkable that some of the biggest proponents of ending censorship and corporate and government control of money and speech don’t use it.

Someone I know in Egypt has a co-worker that was recently arrested for being a “black market” dollar dealer.

Authorities don’t mind if you own dollar accounts in Egyptian banks. But they don’t like you withdrawing them. They want to be able to fractionally reserve them, rehypothecate them, etc.

Unlike Argentina, Nigeria, Lebanon, Turkey, and many other countries, stablecoins are not popular in Egypt for dollar exposure. A common reason cited is they don’t like the intangibility of them. Same for bitcoin. But black market dollars are commonly traded for, albeit with legal risk.

card deposits should be available to all US users

Tweetdeck being rate limited.

New Twitter fuck up.

Twitter is dead, long life Nostr!

Watching individuals/developers circumvent the arbitary rules of those in power gives me hope.

Hope is something I lacked for a very long time.
