I reckon, to deal with tourists driving up the price of everything in Cape Town with their first-world currencies, everyone should offer a 25%+ discount if you can show your ID/driver's license. I'm not paying R160+ for a pizza while hearing tourists marvel at how cheap we are.

What if there's a "dark" market for Bitcoin? Strategy, all these governments and companies starting Bitcoin reserves, etc, do you really think they're going to be buying it on open markets like Binance? No. They'll be buying directly from miners, or whales, "over the counter". Retail dictates the public price, but all of these massive deals are not happening on public platforms. Whose to say they even use the public price as a reference point? Governments, individuals, companies, are free to exchange bitcoin at whatever price they agree on. I just don't see big corporations and governments boosting the Bitcoin price "authentically" by using open markets. They get their supply elsewhere. Keep in mind as well, that exchanges can overstate their bitcoin balances and absorb any money coming in without letting the price skyrocket. This will only become apparent when these big players settle to onchain addresses.

In the spirit of Easter Monday, Bitcoin has risen

Oh for crying out loud...

How many companies are going to fire up their own versions of "Login with XYZ", communication (email and/or messaging), social media, and eventually payments?

Nostr needs to win, really, and it will do if we go out and build it into everyday things and make it the standard ourselves. Posting on it is not enough, it must be how we authenticate with digital services, and so part of how we communicate and create data.

Kauai wraps getting to R129 is madness. This is what happens when you strap banking rewards to something, the price goes up to match this "free" money. Banking rewards are inflationary.

It has been months since I've been able to tap the Search button in #Amethyst without it immediately crashing nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcscpyug por favor ma familia

Really getting tired of every single retailer, coffee shop, corner store and parking lot trying to get you onto their app. Oh, why, is it precisely the same app as everything else, just with a different skin and data policy? And I'm not suggesting some uber-alles rewards or customer app either.

We seriously need to move past this phase of appifying every single possible customer experience. There is surely one way, that everyone can use, without going down some app lane. There should be client on one side, seller or service on the other, some core functionality in the middle, and the parties are completely interchangeable, without having to burden the client with another damn app.
