#Threads is ripping off Nostr IMO. Blatantly.

Kudos to all developers here nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z etc. nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m and everyone else... Nostr is the most important thing you can push right now. #Decentralize everything! #Web5 #Nodes

Here was our post:

Tech is deflationary... but cost of consumer goods will only continue to rise in the fiat system... so CPI goes up, while wages stagnate and tech replaces lots of jobs = rising unemployment.

Are you supposing tech lowers CPI /cost of living?

In theory it might in some instances... eventually over time. But short term there seems to be max pain for those outside the system. Hence, UBI.

Right. So UBI is just the next step to this artificial system.

When you say "measuring" in Bitcoin... I've often thought how would we non-artificially agree on how much 1 Bitcoin/a set amount of Satoshis could buy/produce in a system without fiat.

If we stopped measuring Bitcoin in US or CAD dollars... how would be come to a value price on a basket of goods?

I ran this through GPT and we came up with a value where the costs of mining was a contributing factor and so was the velocity and network participants. How else might we conceptualize a standard value? Scarcity also factors in.

Yes. I agree. I just anticipate a lot of people not wanting or being able to know how to learn to fish.

Yes. It worked for a while. Last 100 years a lot of economy happened. But it's inherently flawed by creating artificial scarcity.

Thinking about UBI lately. Kurzweil also predicts it quite soon.

With AI&Robotics changing the job market significantly, and fiat issues compounding on themselves, UBI seems a necessity(?) to avoid mass poverty/unemployment. Esp the way fiat debt lending has led the population to, en masses, be overleveraged and insolvent.

Is this (UBI) a positive or a negative then? Or just more or less an inevitable "solution" governments will use as a knee jerk?

Mass unemployment and poverty doesn't seem like a positive or even likely scenario.

The grocery rebate (canada's government handout for low income earners) and sliding tax bracket scale are already precursors to UBI in that it is "giving" the already financially vulnerable a break.

But UBI, napkin economics here, seems like it only perpetuates the issues of fiat central banking. So it's a net negative in the long run.

Thoughts?

There are tens, thousands... millions(!) Of Bitcoiners out there who just don't know it yet. YOU could be the one to activate it within them!

Provoke curiosity and give subtle cues that you're using the digital evolution of money. It might just be the things that flips their switch.

Consider,

Twitter could've implemented lightning tips, or honestly payments of literally any kind YEARS ago. But they didn't. Why?

#Nostr on the other hand has accomplished this in no time, and everyone who has experienced it immediately feels what a big deal this is... but why exactly?

Numerous features implemented in Nostr could've been on Twitter all this time.

• Do you think it's because they didn't want to?

• Was it too technically difficult, even though Nostriches pulled it off in a matter of days or weeks?

Of course not, it was POLITICALLY infeasible. Remember how Facebook spent *years* and bookoos of capital trying to create a *whole new currency* just to enable it because there was no chance of doing it with dollars? They were even dragged before Congress to explain why they would do such a thing as enable payments on social media! How dare they! It was easily squashed despite the fact that the list of those backing it was essentially a Who's Who of Silicon Valley fintech.

And what did the Twitter Files teach us? That not only would the suffocating regulatory environment make tips and payments on social media virtually impossible, but the political leviathan refused to even allow them to freely TWEET to their followers! Intelligence agencies were both *funding* social censorship & had direct communication channels to shut down people's accounts, shadow ban, & ensure that "unapproved" opinions simply can't travel through the network.

Like @#[0] said, "this has the power to monetize dissent." Consider the insane power of sharing an "unapproved" opinion to millions of people and being directly rewarded with 1000s, maybe 10s of thousands of private, instant payments while the post has unfiltered, free flow to every last user in the network.

No more "donation services" or "patreons" that take 10% and will preemptively shut down anything remotely against the establishment. No more Go fund Me's fuck stealing millions going to protestors to donate to a "charity of their choice." They are all immediately redundant & pointless.

Instead we are walking into a world with unfiltered, free flowing information and unfiltered free flowing money.

The simple fact is that no large, centralized social platform of any kind CAN do what Nostr does so easily. Because they have a gun to their head & they know it.

This is the 10x value add that is going to wake people up, and it's going to start with ALL the dissenters. We need to find all of them and bring them here.

The simple ability to have direct access to millions of followers, and be able receive payments and tips from them directly, unfiltered, untaxed, with no middle man & no authority whatever involved...

They are afraid as FUCK of that power. And they absolutely should be. Think of what a staggering problem the mere existence of someone like Joe Rogan has presented in the past couple of years. Now consider they attacked him through his network, his advertisers, his payment processors, and a huge targeted propaganda campaign (and fucking LOST despite, 🤣). Now think about the 1000s of others we watched get attacked, banned, deplatformed, canceled, etc...

–––––––––––––

Now imagine the past 3 years done over again, except without any of that being possible anymore...

Guys, we are right in the fucking middle of the revolution. It's right now.

AI Powered Mod Tools for Nostr Communities on Satellite

Hey everyone, I want to tell you about something I've been working on — I wasn't planning to post about this today because it's not ready quite yet, but I noticed that nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft had created a new nostr community n/AI this morning — and it just fits too perfectly.

So here goes: I'm working on a feature that will allow community founders to "spawn" an AI moderator to help detect and defend against spam, organize their community, and eventually do a bunch of other things.

I believe this capability may become an essential tool for nostr to survive the coming onslaught of AI-powered spam. It seems to me that if we really want to have a realistic chance of maintaining public, human-led social spaces, we have to match AI with AI. It's not something we can afford to leave on the table.

On a technical level, nostr is a perfect fit. The shared, permissionless, data architecture means that each community's AI can "live" on Satellite's server (or any server, actually) and, after having been nominated as a moderator, proactively sign events with its own pubkey just like a human.

The AI will be given a simple task: *Enforce this community's rules as written*.

So the human admin of the community can essentially set policy to be implemented by the AI. For example, if the AI decides to remove a post, it can be instructed to explain why it removed the post, and to specifically cite the "legal basis" for its action. Human admins will be free to tweak the rule, overrule the AI's decisions case-by-case, or remove the AI from its position of authority.

It's very interesting to consider where this leads, and what other things an AI that "lives" in a community may be useful for. For now I'm focused on getting an MVP with this mod stuff deployed on Satellite asap. I'm genuinely curious about what it will take to make this work well in practice.

If you want to open your own thread on the AI/Nostr intersection, here's the link to the community https://satellite.earth/n/AI/npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft

I'll be writing a lot more about this.

Woah. I like these ideas

9 years ago I tried to fly to Bali. A Volcano erupted and flights were cancelled while I was in transit in Taiwan. The government seized my passport and put me up in a hotel for 1 or 2 nights while I planned a new itinerary. Some US girls my age were in tears. Was surreal. But the knockoff Heinekens were not bad to be fair... 😏🌋

Randomly stumbled on this #Grafitti 2.5 years ago. BTC price prediction of 100k by the end of 2021. USD❌️ BTC ✅️
