Halving cycle over halving cycle, bitcoin sets the risk-free rate for investing money.

Wall Street isn’t ready for the implications

Network effects are critical for social networks / digital products to work. This is because every connection compounds the value of the product.

Facebook achieved its network effect by starting at elite universities and teasing false scarcity in the roll out of their product. It was cool to be on Facebook and not everyone had the opportunity. When a new user base had the opportunity to participate they opted in, and many became instantaneous heavy users.

While the free speech angle of NOSTR is cool, the network effect isn’t happening. I follow 800+ accounts but the same couple dozen individuals are active 
 and there isn’t a lot of compounding effect in the engagements.

How does this change? Will the NOSTR developers make it long enough to let the network effects occur naturally? Are the financial incentives enough to make this ecosystem function?

I have had a ‘Nym where I don’t zap. It is much more “followed” than this account and that’s fine. But I’ve learned somethings since I went legit.

From this account, I have been zapping like crazy on this account. Two things I’ve noticed


(1) besides nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m no major influencer zaps in any meaningful amount.

(2) my zaps are meaningful on nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg “most zapped in last 4 hours” search.

Both are entirely pathetic. Be better NOSTR


Feels like something meaningful should happen in the global macro theatre sometime soon. đŸ“ˆđŸ”„đŸš€

As the free market deteriorates because of their involvement in manipulating markets, politicians will continue to involve themselves more with more market manipulation which will lead to further and accelerated deterioration of markets.

How much longer can “THEY” suppress bitcoin’s purchasing power?

It’s been quiet on the Commercial Real Estate market front.

An observation sorta related to this 
 a lot of bitcoiners haven’t come to grips with the impact of money priced at 65% annually. A lot of conveniences (maybe social media at large) doesn’t exist with a hurdle rate that high


(1) accountability is defused in most companies

(2) most of the workforce is completely oblivious to macroeconomics

(3) not enough proven examples of bitcoin clearly helping companies

What does this accelerated charging approach do to long-term battery health? Does the battery lose its charge faster when idle? Battery technology has so many trade-offs.

And the baseline for batteries is considerably worse than ICEs run on hydrocarbons.

Moment of vulnerability here, wondering if anyone has had a similar experience before.

I completely LOST it on another person's kid today when I thought they had intentionally hurt my daughter, but I was wrong and now I feel horrible.

Context: on a road trip with another family. The other child has behavioral issues and has been known to get physical in the past with others at school and daycare. Over the course of the trip he's been pretty poorly behaved and aggressive but not downright violent... but I had it in the back of my mind that it could happen.

My daughter was playing with him in the other room, then suddenly runs out screaming, bleeding from the mouth and saying that he had hit her. I've never experienced anyone intentionally hurt my little girl and I instantly flew into protective dad mode before properly assessing the situation. In my mind he had punched her in the mouth.

I stormed into the room and flew into a rage, screaming at the absolute top of my lungs, pointing my finger in the kid's face saying to NEVER touch her EVER again. His mom was right behind me. He was likely terrified and I was honestly way beyond any level of anger I've ever felt.

In the next minute or two my daughter then clarified that it was an accident and they had been playing rough but had unintentionally slammed into each other.

The boy cried, his mom was in shock, and she also had tears in her eyes. I feel absolutely awful about the whole situation, I should have had more self control, and I'm a little in shock how quickly I became an absolute monster to a young kid.

I apologized in the moment to both of them and sent a message after saying I should have handled the situation better.

Just really upset about the whole thing, unsure how to proceed now. Any girl dads out there ever have this happen to them?

Chin up, your intentions were pure. Sorry you’re feeling the way you are feeling, definitely sounds like an awkward situation. Following to see the responses others offer 
 I’ve got a young little gal so this is very relevant for me. Thanks for putting yourself out there.
