Me 🙋‍♂️ I’ve been praying they’d drop bat and just pay my attention in sats
Can someone explain to me how this:
"Block aims to lower the operational barriers for companies looking to add bitcoin to their balance sheets."
Is this not just a BTC -> USD price convertor?
No security. Nothing about reading from or attesting actual onchain addresses.
What am I missing here?
Is there a way to create our own custom feed on nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg ?

Someone banned needs to be exclusively here because they can
To me, the harshest reality of legacy media's slow walk to obvious bankruptcy is:
If their journalists were actually good at breaking news, journalism, or had interesting things to say on opinion columns, they’d make way more money going independent—via X, YouTube, Substack, etc.—than rotting at the Washington Post.
It's why they all eventually become mouthpieces for different government factions.
Who is going to make the first product that allows your BTC IRA to receive in-kind contributions?
Im sure it's a bunch of legacy and regulatory issues that don't allow it, but as a savings tool it would be a magical experience

I feel my thoughts on nostr have settled here as well
Without a major app with pmf embracing nostr I think it will remain hobbyist and niche which, as you mention, isn’t a terrible thing. However it will not just grow because people care about censorship resistance. The great product makers have to choose it because of those properties and create something people love (and need) using it. We can’t rely on users caring about those properties, because they never will.
*Side note* I have similar thoughts to this about ecash as well - particularly the grant criticism - but I don’t think we are ready for that conversation yet.
Been going down a serious Tool rabbit hole lately
I’m honestly embarrassed
I always knew they were good, but I didn’t understand they were the rock music equivalent of an orchestra masterfully dropping mind-blowing rock symphonies
Love this ❤️
Wen feeds?
Not sure what this means to you but to me it means we are losing
This very well could be a white elephant for stripe — and I probably think it is — but btc solutions for payments are not top of mind for anyone right now
I truly believe internet native value transfer NEEDS to be using btc rails as it’s the most decentralized and censorship resistant.
The rails here are neither and that makes anyone using them — or seeing their utility and choosing them — vulnerable.
We aren’t top of mind and introspectively we need to do a better job reaching the masses with our solutions 
the commoditization of LLMs is pretty lit tbh
Holy same
Interestingly a lot of people feel exactly this way about bitcoin
It’s why I don’t think either will happen
Let’s just ignore all the support to freedom tech and open source projects around the globe 👌 got it
Probably not a single person has given more to that community
What a bummer — what is the eta on the web app?
if everyone could be so blessed
