Everytime I receive a 256 or 512 or 1024 sat zap, I know that it's from an ecash connoisseur.

Bitcoin doesn't win because of its marketing or its cheerleaders. We don't need to pretend it's perfect. What we need is to attract devs who'll work on improving it. Forever.

"I would never join a platform like Nostr if there's no way notes can be deleted"

"Why is that?"

"Depending what kind of platform it wants to be, if you have content creators like on tiktok or Instagram and someone disagrees with what they say, on these platforms people go as far as finding out addresses and phone numbers and post them in the comments. Mods remove such things. If notes can't be deleted, such information stands there forever. It's dangerous and a no go"

Had a talk this morning following yesterday's discussions about safety on Nostr. This reply is hard to argue with. If you're a nym it doesn't concern you much. If you create "social media content" like videos or images and people even know or recognize you, they might do the worst things for the worst reasons and there currently is no way to prevent or stop that.

Thinking about this a lot today. It's a fine line between censorship resistance and people feeling safe to use the protocol in a way they see fit.

If we want to always have a couple of Bitcoin anons, ignore what I said. If we want mass adoption it's a topic we need to address.

Can it be addressed tho? Yes, but we would need to shift from absolute censorship resistance to something compromised. Maybe some community based reporting mechanism that relays comply with in terms of deleting said notes. We would still not have a central instance but the community guiding such things.

Should it be done? Up for discussion. Especially now that we have a main focus on the outbox model and blastr, it would make it way harder to implement something like that as notes get spread out on many relays that all would need to comply to some mechanism like that. Almost impossible if it's not a standard part of the protocol.

I know this is not a popular topic. I'm interested what people think about it tho.

Myth: bunions are genetic

Truth: bunions are caused by shoes

It’s simple really: if you wear pointed shoes, you will develop pointed feet (aka bunions) over time

Wear better shoes = have healthier feet

Newb mistake? This was my default wallet when I signed up. Then I tried to customize it. It’s back to the default. #newbie #dontknowwhatimdoing #introductions

Lots of midwits who don’t understand science as a process have turned it into their god. Science is an unfolding. The things we believe to be certain today will be laughed at 100 years from now.

I love Bitcoin, but would you buy more at these prices?

What future would hurt you more?

-Buy more Now, watch it tank and buy more at $15k?

OR

-Not buy and watch it go to $500k

Having Bought the Top and ridden it all the way down 2x, I can tell you which I'd choose. #Bitcoin

protocols can have value, but should not have revenue

Newbie looking for first zap haha! Will use hashtag in next post.
