I would love to show you some tips, going to any conferences/meetups next year?

Gm nostr

Guard your mind against the persuasion and opinions of others. Organic or synthetic, carbon or silicon.

If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

Oh is that all πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

I know 😭

Do you think Google will be able to push reform now that they ordered SMR's from Kairos?

I get the purpose of regulation is to slow down things that are too efficient, I wonder if nothing changes until everything does and regulation fails in all industries.

Followed 🫑. Nuclear engineer πŸ‘€ we should open a SMR power company and accept bitcoin for energy and undercut the legacy power companies πŸ”₯

The state of corporations today is extractive and rent seeking to bleed value from employees until they break under the pressure of being overworked, underpaid and exhausted.

Obviously this starts higher up as fiat creates the environment for this disease to flourish.

Bitcoin is freedom from bosses, managers, politicians, the very rules of fiat society itself.

I want to create value for the world, but fiat jobs are about shoving shit down people's throats and asking them to smile. It takes time and humility and knowledge to even recognize quality anymore.

I'm not out of the machine yet, but one day I'll be free, and I'm taking as many fucking people with me as I can.

Imagine if Jonny Apple seed went around giving out receipts for Apple trees instead of planting real seeds.

Earn bitcoin and spend bitcoin.

People often only think of freedom from physical violence. While that is the worse there are certainly other freedoms that can be restricted.

Physical restriction leads to an opposite response of force and doesn't last as long as subjugation or enslavement.

This is why Jefferson considered the banks more dangerous than the army, the army has the power to kill, but the banks have the power to enslave.

Gm nostr, morning conversation over coffee.

If none of the bitcoin could ever be moved again would it have any value?

If not then it follows that the less amount of bitcoin available to move would make the network less valuable, the more that was available from the fixed supply the greater the value.

This doesn't mean that an infinite amount of bitcoin would be better, in fact satoshi could have picked 12 million or 48 million bitcoin as the total supply and that wouldn't matter.

What gives Bitcoin its stability is the predictability of its total supply, it's an honest measuring stick.

But what gives Bitcoin its value in the market against other goods is the amount of users, or people using it to store or trade value. Storing value is an expectation of trading later, and trading is expectation of value in the moment.

All the Bitcoin already exists so why isn't it worth 100 million a coin right now?

Scarcity has an effect (especially psychological) but can be offset by adoption to an extent.

A monitory goods value grows with its usage and adoption. The dollar is stronger than other fiat but not because the U.S. is a stronger country, but because it's more widely adopted and has a network effect keeping it there.

So what will make bitcoins adoption grow?

Hodlers who have bitcoin trading with other people who don't, there is no other way for no-coiners to join the network if current owners of bitcoin don't trade/sell it.

Sure you can borrow fiat against bitcoin and give others fiat, but then they're not really joining the Bitcoin network. The same amount of bitcoin users exist as before, all you did was give other people fiat.

The greatest gift you can give someone is bitcoin, we should be willing to give this precious gift to the world in exchange for the things they make and their time and energy.

Thanks nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy for posting the article from Parker, and thanks to Roy at nostr:npub1mu7nv2jkaq4xausnn098xc8tp3gzgf2w5r2cj68x8dnns0rktmysnsj5cl for sharing these ideas.

I use damus with my top 5 relays that I have high trust in and then I use primal with around 10 so I can see a lot more interaction. There are way more responses and comments on primal so maybe it something to do with your relays?

A market place or zaps aren't nostr's only use case. There are many other incredible ways to use it. Thankfully it's not a pie and increasing its use as a marketplace doesn't decrease the other use cases. In fact quite the opposite, each use case helps the other one grow.

You might be right, might have been a 5 speed. Early 80's model, good times.
