Even their Human Rights come with caveats.

A brave question.

You're alright.

😂

I've reserved a space on a wall for one of your masterpieces. Come on bitcoin! 😁

Thanks 🙏

People who make a living by copying or adapting your iteration of an idea without fully understanding the thought process behind your iteration is a true crime.

If likes are the only option to signal from a lol to a smile, or a nod to acknowledgement of a lifechanging ligbtbulb moment , then likes are plain shitcoinery, worthless. On Nostr, though, the additional zap option for outstanding contributions makes likes more genuine.

Please like this mundane but well reasoned response that is not worth a zap or a wordy response ;)

Imagine a world where houses are a fraction of the size they are now. A fraction of the mortgage cost, a fraction of the resources to heat and cool them, less war to secure those resources, so on and so forth.

I have great difficulty making sense of the German to English auto translations on Amethyst. A shame because it looks like German contributors have lots of good stuff to share, albeit mostly depressing.

I'd add the pencil to that list. It's very hard to make one. Luckily it comes with two free ears to hold it in place

Speaking to an 85 year old English woman today. She is furious with how the UK is in decline. No respect for elders, professionals, police. Parents abdicating responsibility for educating their kids who seem out of control - always on devices, watching ever more violent content, wanting everything now. No leaders prepared to get to the root of the problem, just offering short term solutions to superficial issues.

I suggested it is the culmination of wtf happened in 1971.

- declining food standards, which is documented as a tactic to hide inflation

- the out of control kids, many are ill from effects of long term high chemical loading, and poor diet. Glyphosate and autism rises coincide. Attention deficit coinciding with iPhone, other such "conspiracies"

- disenfranchised parents/the working poor, can't or don't always set the best examples.

- government agencies not necessarily working for the people's interests with pressure from the corporations offering the revolving doors for the political classes

- politicians who do introduce positive change only have 4-5 years to run with it before their work is undone. Meanwhile most politicians just work on 4-5 year cycles to get reelected or enriched, the people be damned.

- the disjointed on- the-ground thinking is stirred up further mixed by media to reduce resolve, distract, divide a society that if united might force change.

- and while society bumbles from one thought to another, the elites who run the 2% inflation game are testing the rewards of 70 years of resolve and consistency to get what they want.

Of course Bitcoin solves a lot of this, but being a bitcoiner sounds too easy! Except buying and holding bitcoin isn't easy, but it is peaceful, relative to the usual unthinkable option - pulling all the guilty parties out their beds in an act of revolution.

I doubt she will or even should worry about solutions, that's on her grandkids. They are the hope, assuming they are not physically, psychiatrically and emotionally impaired by a continuation of the status quo / managed decline.

Anything in there make sense nostr:nprofile1qqstm84k2lp9knmvmf5gw88zvfvar7duvfpqfplryfystdn55ug2gksprfmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68yurvv438xtnrdaksz9thwden5te0wahhgtnwdaehgu3wwpshyareqyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2j8uly5 ?

Listening to primal 2.0 reminded me of where Nostr is heading. Having stretched my brain cells to integrate nostr features into Ghost, I'm thinking why bother? It's going to take me 18 months to build up the new site traffic, so its not like Im in a hurry.

Npubpro platform has all I need for hosting a website.

If there's a Nostr subscriptions option, Instead of €25 a month to ghost, I could pay that into Nostr ecosystem on top of a relay and media hosting etc.

#asknostr what's the nostr solution for newsletter subscriptions?

My 100k laser eyes got turned off when I closed my Twitter account back in the year of 40000. I will turn on new nostr #lasr-eyes when btc adds another 0. :)

Are Bitcoin twitter's ready to remove their laser eyes at 100k?

100k also another marker of the debasement of the currency held by our nearest and dearest.

Watching BTC rise to 6 figures is like watching an egg timer - pointless. When it nears 400k this cycle, that's the time to watch more carefully

Following bitcoin from afar the general view of Liquid has long been 'great tech but no global use case ".

I would bet a sat to a cent that the guy mentioned in the Bitcoin White Paper has been playing 4d chess based on the conviction of the inevitability of Bitcoin.

If you hold bitcoin for a cycle or two that discomfort advice is easy. But most don't.

The reality for most small operators is that 100 regular clients is a good living. If 1000 Nostr accounts look for 100 sales, say 2% hit rate, that's a lot of Nostrs users needed to support the makers. 5,000,000 fully engaged users

Not saying it's unattainable, but that's a long slog.

I speak as someone about to launch a platform supporting growers and makers and creators and I have built it as pro Nostr, putting BTC first and actively rejecting legacy platforms and services.

Being realistic I'm expecting a lot of discomfort :) but it's not my first rodeo, so hey ho.

The trick for peace of mind is to aspire to live where you only need a few bucks a week to live on. That way you don't need much BTC to retire on.

If you live in a place that requires massive amounts of money to live off comfortably, you're in for a long slog.

My observation of life: there is no such thing as financial security. Security in general is a head game best not played with money. If I feel secure, I am. If I don't, how much is enough cover for every eventuality?

I'm a freak, I live in a poorish place where 15-20k can get you a high standard of living ( based on work- life balance). And I still think the relatively petty financial wastage going on around here is criminal. :)

So it is insane to me how much /how many resources the top 1 billion "live" on.

Hopefully BTC fixes this.

We are still very very early.

Sharpest insight this week was that people use social media apps for the community not the tech.

Going 100% on nostr is perhaps a good move for bitcoin and nostr Devs and influencers. But is this community open and big enough to support the growers, artists and makers? We shall see.

Dog was guarding #chickens for the longest time. Recently been AWOL. Lost a chicken to an eagle today. Moral of story - have a big dog around.
