People will soon understand that Nostr is an entirely different type of network than anything they've seen before.

I am not just talking about censorship resistance and user sovereignty. A new breed of applications is now possible. We'll show how good those apps can be.

It seems wrong to me at some level. Nothing will be done about crime on Nostr? Everything goes, bestiality etc?

That is the main problem with Telegram and X, there’s so much scam and crime it’s unusable.

The more I think about Nostr the more it blows my mind.

I can just say whatever crazy shit I want and there’s like no guardrails or mods—it’s just out there, and people will actually see it.

No one appreciates just how powerful this is, how important it is, monumental even.

It creates a totally new possibility for the social web, which is really something else entirely. It’s the possibility of a new world in which people own their data; their information. No longer to be exploited, or owned, people can really say whatever they want.

And that is truly extraordinary.

We should adopt SI prefixes when talking about BTC. Speaking in BTC terms using decimals is confusing. We already speak in terms of sats, so let’s apply the SI prefixes to satoshis.

If BTC = $58,000

1 sat = $0.00058

1 ksat (kilosat) = 1000 sats = $0.58

1 Msat (megasat) = 1,000,000 sats = $580

1 Gsat (gigasat) = 1,000,000,000 sats = $580,000

1 Tsat (terasat) = 1,000,000,000,000 sats = $580,000,000

1 Psat (petasat) = 1,000,000,000,000,000 = $580,000,000,000

We can refer to small purchases in ksats, for example, a $6 cup of coffee would cost a little over 10 ksat.

Use Msats for larger purchases like rent, vehicles, etc. $2000 of rent would be about 3.5 Msat. A $15,000 car would be about 26 Msat. There are 100 Msats in a bitcoin.

Use Gsats to refer to large amounts of money, in place of millions of dollars. There are 10 BTC in one Gsat

Use Tsats in place of billions of dollars. There are 10,000 BTC in one Tsat.

A Psat at today’s value represents $580 billion, but it is 10 million BTC. This is too big of an amount to be useful, as nobody has a Psat.

As value goes up, so too will the value of each denomination. If a Msat is $580 at BTC = $58,000, then a Msat will be $10,000 at BTC = $1,000,000. At BTC = $1,000,000, one sat = one cent. At this point, a hsat (hectosat) would represent a dollar, if a dollar had enough value to be relevant.

ask yourself

what value is this providing me?

The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed.

🤣😂

made this - deep imo.

free speech is a human right.

This is so insane…
