GM ⚡️ all! Here's my Monday morning thoughts and wonderings! Let's discuss!
-How will the convergence of FOSS/AI/Robotics impact the housing markets? 🤔 nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe an article on this would be 👌 Housing is an asset under fiat artifical system but lots of external factors here too.
-Governments could likely try to monitor any movement from a KYC wallet for tax purposes. Even if both wallets are yours. This would force UTXOs to be dormant for longer as to not trigger a taxable event. But then passwords and seed phrases are exchanged? And a small portion is spent to prove keys? 🔑 hm... thoughts? nostr:npub1gl723nmngd9adxh8hqgyrpnam8ha8m8pu04vfakr6g8k9e4y3m4s7ukd90 nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx
-Timelocked multi-sig like on nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n Green seems one of the safest methods of key management. How does this contrast to liquid or nostr:npub1uq70uqgas9pyhds2zt57kr9se8rg3s68ztphjnq82ts8rzeknmeql7u0c2 ? ELI5 any nuances I'm missing please!
-What would be your advice to teaching kids the safest way to mange keys? nostr:npub1gl723nmngd9adxh8hqgyrpnam8ha8m8pu04vfakr6g8k9e4y3m4s7ukd90 , nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s , nostr:npub1qg8j6gdwpxlntlxlkew7eu283wzx7hmj32esch42hntdpqdgrslqv024kw , nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe ... there's a few methods I like... but what would be an easy and top shelf advice for say, a 12 year old?
-Swimming is underrated... headed out for a swim later. Haha. Have a good week everyone!
More people than you might initially think have at least jumped in. How long they stayed or what they did is more of the question.
Hey nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m , has there been any feedback on thr retail POS Square system recent update? The saved cart function was awesome but is now gone.
True. But Andreas is THE OG IMO. Doesn't get enough credit. Did he say that or why is there a shout out to him?
His videos years and years ago were the best and some of the only places to learn about Bitcoin. I dunno what he's up to these days, but he's a legit OG.
Hm, the goal of 50 sats doesn't seem to be public or indicated anywhere.
Testing out #Zapraiser in #Amethyst. Um... insert epiphany inducing content about Bitcorn here! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Agree. SimpleX is wildly sophisticated and genius.
This is why NOSTR:
Your digital content, including your images and username, on ABC or XYZ app or platform is NOT yours.
None of it.
No one should be mad or surprised that Twitter took over a username. 🤷♂️ These are highly closed and central systems. Don't expect them to act differently.
Steak and eggs. Fml. Stop winning the interwebs plz. 😆
Some big media account on Twitter asked people what they think the best music album ever was, front to back.
While some albums are more iconic than others, the fascinating thing about the question is how it tends to be a sign of what era someone came of age in (i.e. which decade they grew up as a teenager), and what cultural part of that era they were more in line with. Sure, some people go back and find older iconic music and appreciate it the most, the absolute greats of the past, but the more typical outcome is that someone finds music from their coming-of-age years to be what somehow sticks out.
For me it was rock in the 2000s, and my mental answer to the question of "best album?" was Meteora by Linkin Park.
While it was a very popular album and also well-remembered, it doesn't generally go down on the ageless list of greats. In other words, it's always kind of a top two or three genre item. I could argue why other more iconic albums are better, and why they "should" be my answer. For example I could go a little bit before my time, but still close enough, and say Nirvana's Nevermind was better. That would poll better.
But basically, as a product of my time, Meteora is just the one that struck the right chords at the right time when I was a teenager. It's the one that spoke to me. I would listen to it casually, and then also listen to certain songs in it before martial arts tournaments to get myself in the combat zone. Even as my musical tastes changed over time, that's the album I listened to the most of all time, and so when I hear it in the present day, I still appreciate it a ton.
The fact that they crossed genres appealed to me a lot. Their main vocalist, Bennington, struck their melodic and emotional aspect. The other vocalist, Shinoda, was their hip-hop guy, with a rougher or more practical aspect. Mr. Hahn brought an electronic aspect, and Delson brought the rock guitar aspect. Some of their stylization was anime-aligned, and I was into anime at the time. Basically whatever vibes I might be feeling as a teenager at the time, there was something in Linkin Park that spoke to it, with Meteora being among their best and which came out at the right time when I was 15. It's like Bennington would speak to my emo aspect and help me acknowledge it, while Shinoda and the others would pump me back up, and tell me to not fuck around and get back out there, and boost my confidence. Yin and Yang.
Another reason I thought of this is that here in 2023, Linkin Park released a 20th anniversary edition of Meteora, which included a couple songs like "Lost" that didn't make it into the original. It all hits a bit harder for us fans based on the fact that the lead singer, Chester Bennington, is no longer with us. RIP.

Anyway, I’m doing a series of “real thoughts” uniquely on Nostr, and this is the second one.
Conclusion: Sometimes what hits harder subjectively is worth appreciating, rather than just whatever can be argued to be the best objective answer. Somewhere on that border between "objectively good" and "came out at the right time and hit the spot for you and imprinted itself" is your answer that is worth exploring and sharing.
What's your answer?
I once worked with a guy who, when 2 of us were having this *exact convo, chimed in and said "The Verve! The CD with Bittersweet Symphony on it! Best album of all time!"
The musician coworker and I looked at each other and later laughed cuz we both thought the Verve CD wouldn't go down in history by many rock critics as the best album of that month, let alone year or all time.
I think it's a trap though. "Best" is too subjective to genre, time, context etc.
If you're tapping progression, musical proficiency, innovation and honesty, I'd say a couple Bob Marley Albums can contend, a couple Jimi Hendrix records, of course the Beatles and the Stones... annnnnd, hm. Bob Dylan. Oh, and Neil Young.
Haha. This is why so many of us nerds 🤓 love Bitcoin. The longer and harder you examine its different surfaces, the more beautiful it gets. Lol. Satoshi etc al did a very eloquent job.
