I hada many-note argument going with a very intelligent bot that I thought was human until I realized they were answering too articulately too quickly and so I asked and they confessed to being a synthetic. Fucking wake up call
Thanks. How do you know what is optimal? How did you choose the paid and why?
My list keeps growing:
Ten inventions of bitcoin, EACH of which is so profoundly revolutionary that its value and impact cannot be calculated.
-Absolute scarcity: The first and only substance of finite quantity
-Real digital limits: Digital data bound by the laws of physics (via ‘proof of work’), creates singular digital objects that cannot be copied / reproduced
-Pure shared custody: The only asset that can be jointly-owned by multiple parties without any supervising authority
-Machine money: The only asset that can be independently possessed and spent by machines/AI (to pay other machines or even humans)
-Uneditable history: Immutable, unfalsifiable, time-stamped historical record of any data type (not just financial transactions!)
-Energy ‘dung beetle’: The only locate-anywhere, instant on/off energy consumer (enabling previously impossible renewables buildout, grid stabilization, and methane mitigation — flared and landfill)
-Non-violent property defense: Secures real assets via impenetrable cryptography rather than by threat of violence (by person or state)
-Time-locking: The first and only asset that can be irretrievably locked away for a pre-determined interval of time — without any entity holding custody or having access
-Micro-transactions: Combined with Lightning network or similar protocol, enables instant, direct, global transaction of tiny amounts of value via internet
-Undetectable bearer instrument: The first and only bearer asset a person can carry on their person within their mind — across time, space, borders, scanners, searches — and with no limit on quantity
Each of these is an entirely new invention or discovery, not possible prior to — or without — bitcoin.

Yeah, right now bitcoiners are bootstrapping nostr right now, but I think at some point nostr starts driving bitcoin adoption.
Damus fam would you mind sending a sat or two? Tryina figure out if I successfully changed from WoS to ably here. Still trying to figure out where to enter Nip 05 tho
Anybody know how to update my profile picture on nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg? It didn't come through from my account made on Damus, and I don't see how to change it in settings...
This is just a test note, using Primal.net for the first time. nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg
nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr was awesome on the Dispatch with nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx, got me fired up
Wow I didn’t know hashtags were followable! Do you know if there is a published index of active ones?
Unpopular opinion: Shitcoins are a boon to bitcoin because they attract and absorb governmental attention and ire, providing cover for bitcoin to continue growing relatively unmolested, and also provide a foil against which the virtues of bitcoin are more easily explained and perceived.

Ya I don’t understand how this is different from:
1) Sell KYCd to my identity coins
2) Buy non-KYCd to my identity coins from a private party for cash
That’s it. Why involve bisq?
Eight inventions of bitcoin, EACH of which is so profoundly revolutionary that its impact and value cannot yet be calculated.
-Absolute scarcity: The first and only substance on earth of finite quantity
-Real digital limits: Digital data bound by the laws of physics (via ‘proof of work’), creates singular digital objects that cannot be copied / reproduced
-Pure shared custody: The only asset that can be jointly-owned by multiple parties without any supervising authority
-Machine money: The only asset that can be independently possessed and spent by machines/AI (to pay other machines or even humans)
-Uneditable history: Immutable, unfalsifiable, time-stamped historical record of any data type (not just financial transactions!)
-Energy bottom feeder: Locate-anywhere, instant on/off energy consumer enables renewables buildout, grid stabilization, and methane mitigation (flared and landfill)
-Non-violent property defense: Secures real assets via impenetrable cryptography rather than by threat of violence (by person or state)
-Micro-transactions: Combined with Lightning network or similar protocol, enables instant, direct, global transaction of tiny amounts of value via internet
None of these exist without Bitcoin.
“Bitcoin's unique ability to harness stranded energy resources and mitigate potent greenhouse gas emissions positions it as a potential ally in our fight against climate change.”
But it’s the same as for example buying from bisq right? I mean, the bitcoin I buy anywhere (except a miner) is most likely KYC to someone
Hey y’all, help me understand something. If me and my friend have KYC sats, can’t we just clear the KYC by selling to each other for USD? Like I buy 0.1 BTC from him for USD, and he does the same to me. To fresh wallets. And pay whatever capital gains or loss taxes, obviously. But at that point, the privately purchased sats are KYC free, no?
