🔐 Hot Take About NIP-05 Verification 🔐

Verifying through a 3rd party > Own domain! 😱 While drawbacks exist (like the possibility of losing it), the PROS outweigh the cons, and here's why!

#1 PRIVACY matters! 🤫 Owning a domain means doxing yourself, even with privacy shields. But 3rd party providers keep your personal info hidden...because they don't have it to begin with.

#2 BOOST YOUR FAVORITE PROJECTS! Many lack marketing budgets, relying on word of mouth. By getting verified via a 3rd party on #Nostr (where it's all FOSS), you become an EVANGELIST! Spread the love!

#3 SCARCITY adds value! Unlike domains, not everyone can get their desired handle with 3rd party NIP-05 providers. Stand out from the crowd and get a unique identity, ya filthy animal!

US net liquidity continues to fizzle.

Recent week-over-week (ended July 26) action just released:

Approx. -$60.6B liquidity CONTRACTION

My opinion:

Difficult for risk assets and #bitcoin to materially rally while liquidity continues to contract.

nostr 🤝 AI 🤝 bitcoin

-------------------------

- open permissionless interoperable protocols for money and communication will become the standard way to interact with AI

- machines need to communicate without centralized third parties - nostr is ideal

- machines need to be able to receive and send payments without centralized third parties - bitcoin is ideal

Few understand this but it will be incredibly obvious in hindsight.

if it can be rugged, it will be rugged

the argentinean lesson

Stable Diffusion XL 1.0 really knows a thing or two about cats. When prompted with “pure, unadulterated evil”, I was presented with this #cat. 🤣

Any bitcoin whales out there have 25 BTC they can spare so I can start this company properly?

Back to the topic of using #energy to create products and services of value.

#Value is really a subjective thing to each and every one of us. One way to look at how hoomans value things is based on their own perception of time and space.

E.g.

1) Hooman with a long-term view will place greater value on the future.

2) Hooman with a short-term view will place a greater value on the present.

The hooman in point one will love #Bitcoin

The hooman in point two will love #Fiat

Hooman in point one can withstand pain and shocks in the present to create a better future.

Hooman in point two will do everything possible to secure their short-term wants/impulses without a care for the future.

#Bitcoiners are inherently patient builders of a better future.

#Fiaters are short-term thinkers and usually selfish.

Yes you can shit on my arguments and yes you may make valid points, but let me continue on this tangent for a while longer.

Bitcoiners build to last.

Fiaters consume to fast.

From my interactions with various people, this has usually been the case.

Some people are bitcoiners without even holding bitcoin and some people are fiaters who hold bitcoin. But the point really is whether you are long-term focused or short-term focused.

Looking at this decade as fiat currencies continue to shit the bed while #bitcoin emerges as the money everyone uses... It is clear to me that there will be a 'value mindset shift'.

The fiat delusion that has distorted minds for the last 50 years is coming to an end. People will end up looking at things differently than what they have done in the past. Too such an xtent that there will be a growing shift towards products and services that enhance the long-term prospects of a hooman as opposed to short-term quick fixes.

What products and services can we build today that will be valuable to a more long-term focused pool of buyers?

What the hell, might just as well try this now:

If this note gets zapped 720k sats, Eden will live another month. We are already over 33k in.

woo woo shields active

= ANNOUNCEMENT =

Eden.nostr.land relay is going away!

We will be sunsetting it in 30 days on August 26. We hope that is enough time for everyone to backup and restore their notes on other relays.

If you successfully paid admission for Eden in the last month and would like a refund please send me a DM requesting a refund.

It’s been a wild ride running Eden (and the relays that came before it) and we are deeply grateful to all the users who supported us since the beginning.

I wish wholecoiner status upon you all *whoosh*

when will people have hobbies again

bitcoin was designed to be able to run off the worst setup possible, lol
