165,000 zaps by damus users who have this enabled since this was released. it’s technically not even allowed and is hidden behind a script, so its amazing there has been this many even still. nostr:note1yyp5tjfyyr9la3c824fzguq0kfczkysrcfv3phqaef5856reqy3sjgdyvz

Ah within a note. I was referring to my main feed page.

If anything, I’d say the Damus icon in the middle is the most redundant, but I’d imagine not many users click on that.

I get that liquidity can flow into a market and bid up prices, I just thought that when interest rates are high you wouldn't be in a risk on trade, and it would reflect in equities, but damn ATH at 5,5% is nuts

Can someone explain to me like i'm 5, why the S&P500 is near all time highs when we have decade high interest rates? I thought increased interest rates means value of future earnings looks less attractive versus bonds

Is there something I am missing or is this legit a repricing of the stock market due to increased money supply?

I mean adjusted for inflation we're still like12% off 2021 ATH right?

can someone explain to me why the ETF is more attractive to investors than the GBTC? like why is this a bigger deal than the GBTC listing?

My main issue with nostr is that it seems like the people here are almost exclusively laser-eye maxis.

When I want to reach those guys, I don’t need a special app: I just tweet on Twitter with carefully selected trigger keywords, and sure enough, one of them will screenshot it and post here and make sure all laser-eyes see it.

Are there some non-laser-eyes here? Make yourself known in the comments!

Besides “they’re idiots and grifters” can anyone explain to me what the premise is behind all these “brc-20” json entries being recorded on the bitcoin blockchain as inscriptions tied to ordinals are meant to do?

Yesterday, for example, there were only 209 jpegs inscribed on the blockchain (down about 99% from the over 20,000 inscribed 6 days earlier.)

But there were a record 307,046 text inscriptions, and nearly all as far as I can tell were these. Here’s an example of what one looks like:

{"p":"brc-20","op":"mint","tick":"xing","amt":"1000"}

It seems people are minting arbitrary tokens (now costing about $2 worth of sats per mint), presumably with the intent of transacting with them at some point in the future (again at the cost of an on-chain bitcoin transaction, because ordinals can’t be moved on lightning).

But this doesn’t make any sense. It’s cheaper and easier to just mint a fresh batch of tokens if one needs any for any purpose, because anyone can mint any amount of any brc-20 at any time.

So can anyone explain or point to some podcast or anything why anyone believes this to be a useful thing. They’re spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a day on fees.
