Fine to take a punt on MSTR sure, what I was pointing out is that yr pic implied equivalency between Bitcoin and MSTR in terms of a long term holding strategy

That's up to the trader; my point is that it's an opportunistic play to get more BTC (than you would by simply buying BTC), and not without risk.

If you are intending on holding MSTR 'forever' then you are a fool

The aggressor is very clear - it is the US/NATO. They used your country to fight a proxy war against Russia as they have used so many countries before. They don't care that your country is being ruined and so many Ukrainian men are being kilked; indeed they are quite happy about it because they hold no love for your country (unlike many, many Russians).

You are a fool lost in hate and delusion and your path will continue to be very painful until you start to perceive who has tricked and betrayed you.

I agree. I think he was a great guy but I find the cryonics thing delusional and missing the point about death being a natural end to life (even an early cruel death).

The only measure of time that Bitcoin 'knows' is when a new block is added to its chain, (and special multiples of that block count).

Is the date important Mir? Anniversaries are important for humans because we live in the physical world. Bitcoin doesn't; it doesn't make trips around the sun as we do.

The ppl who maintain the US empire will not allow the 'exhorbitant privilege' they hold through the global position of the US dollar will not allow that position to be undermined, which is exactly what the US buying Bitcoin would do.

Two delusionists who think their power is much greater than it actually is (because neither has done anything to earn it)

If you were actually humble you would understand there is no chance of the US building a 'SBR' this year

They appear to have penetrated the Bitcoin community quite successfully, and I think many are boosting them uncritically without doing the vetting that one should do with an NGO, especially from that part of the world.

Peter didn't surprise me at all because I know that he is particularly unhinged on geopolitical matters. Aaron didn't surprise me so much either but yes, Joe's support was disappointing, as he is quite well traveled, particularly in the 'Global South', and usually shows more discernment.

I sent another +60,000 sats today as a test…

(And might have even broken a few things 😬)

Day 3 of my zap-vertising experiment:

1ļøāƒ£What I did

2ļøāƒ£What I learned

3ļøāƒ£What comes next

Let’s recap:

On day 1 I sent 60,000 sats - primarily large quantities (on average +300 Sats)...

My thinking was that if I was the top zap on trending notes, I’d get a lot of visibility.

I ended up growing by 87 followers.

I posted a full day 1 breakdown, and that note started getting a ton of traction on it’s own.

Since I was gaining momentum from that alone I figured I’d pause the zapping experiment until that died down… thus, no day 2 recap.

Today I went for a very different strategy…

1ļøāƒ£ What I did:

This time I went for Quantity > Quality

I sent (or tried to send) +6000 zaps at about 8-10 sats each (my goal was 60,000 sats total).

Truthfully, I have no idea how many sats were actually sent…

A lotta shit broke.

First, I was using zapadd.com to send bulk zaps

This was quite unreliable. I think I lost probably 30k-40k sats in the process.

I have no idea how many zaps were ultimately sent but I think a few thousand.

I will say, the developer who built it was super helpful with support and did offer to refund everything.

According to him, this might have caused some issues with the primal wallets today.

I’m not technical and have no idea what actually happened other than shit didn’t work and people couldn’t zap me (and maybe many others) for a while today.

In terms of the message - I went with ā€œsending loveā€ instead of ā€œtesting somethingā€

Optimizing for vibes.

Results:

Gained 152 new followers… about 395 sats per follow… ~$0.37

SOLID.

2ļøāƒ£What I learned:

Value 4 Value.

What really got the most traction on my account was my recent note.

And that note cost a whopping 0 sats.

Good content wins.

Regardless of where this zapvertising experiment goes, there is no replacement for good content.

Learning numero dos:

Nostr is such an infant.

The infrastructure feels so new and delicate.

It’s kinda wild that there is no reliable way to allocate $50 to growth.

What excites me the most is that I can help to shape that future…

Picture this - it’s only a matter of time before there are companies on here that want to allocate 10,000,000 sats per day to growth and exposure…

I want to help shape what that system could look like.

(P.S. - I’m looking for some technical counterparts to help build here! Slide in my messages if that's you.)

3ļøāƒ£ What comes next:

Something I haven’t tested yet is direct linking in zaps.

I think these will probably come off a bit more spammy - especially if it's straight to a product page…

I’m working through some creative ideas to make it so it’s still well received

(The ā€œsending loveā€ was very well received today)

What I really want to see is if I send 100,000 sats, and each zap has a direct link, how many clicks will that drive?

Will keep you all posted 🫔🫔🫔

Zapping is for cucks

By 'self' I meant the nostr community, not you personally
