I love Arthur Hayes' analysis.

I excerpt this chart from his latest analysis because it is just great.

The green line is the Federal Reserve interest rates.

The white line is the MOVE index which measures the volatility of the US bond market. I love that you have exposed this index as it is one of the few I use. The MOVE index is important because we can measure through it the liquidity of the dollar system. A high bond market volatility, high MOVE, can indicate lack of liquidity, on the contrary, a low MOVE is synonymous with liquidity in the markets and stability.

For Bitcoin to rise the perfect storm is:

Liquidity in the dollar system (Fed Balance Sheet - (TGA +RRP)) + rising global m2 + falling MOVE.

Now comes the good stuff. The next indicator that the chart incorporates is a combination of excess bank reserves held at the Fed and other deposits and liabilities, the ODL which as Arthur indicates is a good indicator for commercial bank loan growth.

Unfortunately this indicator is only found on Bloomberg terminals and is key to bitcoin growth as it can measure commercial bank lending which is the other important leg of money creation, although such growth is included in the m2 (as loans end up in deposits or bank accounts), it is not isolated.

What Mr. Arthur explains is that the dollar system needs low volatility in its bond system in order to be saleable and to be able to finance itself, that leads us to need to print more and more money each time.

As you can see, from 2008 onwards the previous story gets smaller, the amount of credit needed to stabilize the system (low MOVE) is brutal. Again in 2020 we move up a level, and now in 2024 we find ourselves with high MOVE volatility that has to be reduced to stabilize the system.

We are on the verge of another Brutal money printing.

Cool! Lmk if you do, otherwise I’m sure I can figure it out. Just need to spend some time getting it hooked up and funding the wallet

Thanks, is there a particular Cashu mobile wallet that makes it easy for end users? (Myself included)

So when you recommended Minibits, Cashu.me, are these both mobile apps or just web apps?

Is there any solution which is cross platform and generally good UX? Or we’re not there yet?

What’s the best *custodial* lightning solution these days for US users - just for low value zaps?

Fees and balance/tx size limits are fine, KYC is not.

Introducing HAVEN - The Ultimate Relay For Sovereign Individuals

HAVEN (High Availability Vault for Events on Nostr) is the next evolution of personal relays that take self sovereignty and decentralization to the next level.

https://github.com/bitvora/haven

It's a 4-in-1 Relay with:

- Private Relay - for your drafts, ecash/nutsacks and anything else only you should be able to see

- Chat Relay - for your web of trust to be able to send you DMs or to host private group chats.

- Inbox Relay - for people to send reactions, zaps and likes to your notes. It also pulls these notes from other relays in real time. Protected by web of trust

- Outbox Relay - for others to read from. This will contain all the notes that only you publish. Anyone can read, only you can write. Every note sent to your outbox relay will be BLASTR'd to other relays.

It also has many SMART relay features, including:

- It imports all your old notes to your outbox relay, and imports any note you're tagged in to your inbox relay

- It protects your relays using your Web of Trust

- It automatically backs up all your notes to a 3rd party cloud (currently only AWS S3 support - more soon™)

- It blastr's your notes to other relays

Amethyst users will love this relay because it gives you every relay you need to complete the relay configuration.

It is my hope with this relay that we can significantly increase the decentralization of Nostr by giving people an extremely powerful and reliable personal relay that gives them control over the longevity and privacy of their notes. With more people running personal relays, clients should be more inclined to implement the outbox/inbox model.

You can see HAVEN in action on my personal relay:

- wss://relay.utxo.one/outbox

- wss://relay.utxo.one/inbox

- wss://relay.utxo.one/chat

- wss://relay.utxo.one/private

I am extremely excited about this release and can't wait to see what the nostriches think of it!

To get started, follow the instructions in the README here:

Fuck yeah brother 🤙

I’m not sure I understand… so maybe? 😂

I just want to quickly copy a url that will render a nostr post in the browser, for anyone who doesn’t have a nostr app or account.

One thing I love about Primal is it’s extremely easy to copy a url to a note, which you can send to anyone and it will render in the browser.

I use Damus almost exclusively, but I always have to switch to Primal to grab those urls.

I’m still using Damus relay and have no spam issue. All my spam was coming from Primal relay 🤷‍♂️

Maybe it depends on where your notes originate from?

I primarily use Damus, so perhaps the client sends to that relay first?

No idea honestly. I’m still using Damus client and relay, and spam is gone (for now)
