maxis made up a game where they win by deciding the rules for everyone else. they invented a rule that says the winner has the highest marketcap and every other project that doesn't have the highest marketcap has to be the loser. why the fuck would I care about that? it doesn't mean anything to me. if it has a highest marketcap but it doesn't do what I expect it to do, why should I think it's the best?

In 1999 I bought 1,000 shares of Apple stock for less then $1,000

Apple stock split 2-for-1 in the year 2000, so I then held 2,000 shares of AAPL

Sold all my AAPL stock around 2005 for $2.50 per share, just before a stock split 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’ve now had two decades of regret.

If I had held steadfast in my original investment…

bought 1,000 shares AAPL (1999)

(2000) 2-for-1 split = 2,000 AAPL

(2005) 2-for-1 split = 4,000 AAPL

(2014) 7-for-1 split = 28,000 AAPL

(2020) 4-for-1 split = 112,000 AAPL

112,000 shares of AAPL in todays value are worth… $19,600,000 🤯

NWC is more of a layer 3 than Nostr itself 🤣

i.e. Liquid, eCash, Fedimint, WBTC, ETFs, etc. etc.

A shitcoin pegged to #Bitcoin is still a shitcoin. GM.

The potential of #Bitcoin will exceed your expectations!

1. Global wealth is aprox. $900 trillion.

2. 18% of Bitcoins are lost.

3. If BTC captures only 1% of global wealth,

1 Bitcoin = +$500k.

Bitcoin is global, autonomous property, and vital for human growth.

Calculations! 👇

If 20% of Bitcoins are lost,

We are left with 80% of 21M Bitcoins,

Since the maximum possible number of Bitcoins is 21M

80% of 21 million = 16.8M Bitcoins.

Finally,

We divide the total captured wealth by the number of available Bitcoins to get the value of one Bitcoin.

$9T / 16.8M Bitcoins = $535,714.29.

So,

if Bitcoin captures 1% of global wealth and 20% of Bitcoins are lost,

The value of one Bitcoin would be approximately $535,714.29. (extremely conservative)

then imagine 5%?, 10%? 20%? 50%? 🤯

It is inevitable...

Buy Bitcoin as if your life depended on it.

Or is it a configuration setting ? That may be turned off to stop relay from natively broadcasting ..

I guess we are saying the same thing ..

1- if relays are obligated to broadcast at protocol level then we dont need to write to many relays .. just one is enough

2 . If relays are black boxes ( like Twitter or Facebook) than we must relay to as many relays as possible , including a private relay of our own ..

Which of the above two they are ? That is my question...

If I were Satoshi Nakamoto, I would join Nostr and set me default zap to 500k or something 😂
