*behind as in pushing Bitcoin, not behind as in creating it

I guess the reversal is inevitable because the point of lightning is to delay the collapse of the dollar, so in the long run, the price manipulators behind Bitcoin can't keep this up

Has doggie coin ever underperformed Bitcoin like this?

It's kinda worrying, as someone who has most of my money in doggie coin. Definitely seems like Lightning shitcoiners having an impact on newbies. Probably gonna reverse course back to doggie dominance though 🤙

The extra caps kinda feels more trump social and less Nostr news. But you do you.

While we’re at it…

Money is good. It solves a lot of problems in life.

But when someone believes in you… I mean, rlly rlly fucking believes in you

It transforms you in ways that money is not capable of

Magic. Easy peasy.

nostrudel removed the ability to react with custom emojis a while back, but custom emojis are awesome. so I added them to animestr!

I will never get used to not having edits, no longer how long nostr remains that way.

The instinct to post is too strong, need the ability to post first and proof read second

Is there no good lightning wallet that's self custodial? I don't want go run my own lightning node!

#asknostr

Zeus is so slow, it's completely useless in real life, nobody waits 2 minutes with their phone standing while the wallet loads. It's also prone to crashes.

Misty breez performs OK, but it doesn't have a lightning address I can use, the minimum 100 sats doesn't work for nostr, and the fees are impossibly high. 40 sats fees on a 100 sats zap is crazy.

Everything else I found is custodial, and some even require KYC

In the year 2030 how many sats would this chocolate milkshake have cost? #asknostr

In the future, if I ask a friend to babysit my kids, they better say no at first. It would be too suss if they say yes right away.

I want to need to convince them. #asknostr

Me telling my friends how the decentralization process is going…

Them: “so what you’re saying is you miss Instagram and your moto girly privilege where men and stadiums full of people found you enjoyable instead of bullying you… and where you got paid instead of paying people”

😂 like actually yes…

You apparently have no idea of the amount of German civilians the Allies and Soviets knowingly raped and killed. It was an absolute slaughter.

They overran and leveled entire cities. Dresden was only one. Hiroshima only got the bomb, and not Berchtesgaden, because the Germans surrendered before the bomb was done being built.

And the original post-war game plan was the Morgenthau Plan, not the Marshall Plan.

*Genocide and hypocrisy are core to the Israeli identity

I completely messed up trying to fix something I partly messed up initially copying and pasting, smh

it begs the question though

which arms manufacturers and political actors benefit from this endless war?

No, Hamas is full of religious fanatics who convinced an entire region to sacrifice their children for a military adventure.

They're international political locusts and the Palestinians got hoodwinked into joining their fight to wipe Israel completely off the map and turn Palestine into a Sunni theocratic state. That is their own self-proclaimed political goal, and it is a goal that could completely destroy Palestine, but Hamas doesn't care. Hamas has never cared. Hamas does not want to be a good national government for Gaza; it wants to establish a worldwide Umma. Those are two opposing goals. You have to break some eggs, when making an Umma omelette and Palestine is the eggs.

Hamas has also never been the preferred government for a majority of Palestinians. The whole movement is astroturf, with Palestinians backing their efforts out of ethnic loyalty and political frustration at the lack of progress elsewhere. Everyone wants to be "keeping it real" and "sticking up for the homies", but their homies are _insane_. Like black people who defend gang bangers because they don't want to look like a sellout.

And you don't get to call it a genocide, if you start a war. Did the Germans get genocided by the Allies? No, THEY LOST AND GOT THEIR ASS KICKED.

haha I would challenge the idea that consciousness is subordinate to the deterministic laws of physics… the body seems to be a hardware system (constrained) whereas consciousness seems to act more like an unbound frequency waiting to be observed by the receiver albeit the receiver remains bound by their specific hardware constraints

holding is not much good if you can't sell it to buy stuff.

*hold or receive

Twise as much as the USA holdings, hopefully so. I am not mentally ready to pay 123K/BTC.

each party sends a new signature to the other every time a transaction is made that updates the balance.

this enables either party to unilaterally close the "channel" whenever they want (since they have two valid signatures) and get the sats back out on the mainchain.
