You press “like” because it makes you feel like you did something meaningful when in reality you didn’t. It’s worthless. Zap or don’t zap. Comment or don’t comment. Repost or don’t repost. Likes are just not meaningful and are simply a tool of legacy social media to inform algorithms.

Gotta love Nostr.

One relay down. Switch to another.

One wallet down, switch to another.

One client has issues, switch to another.

We’re building a massive network of wack-a-mole.

Nostr wouldn’t feel right if everything worked all the time.

A little story….

In the last two days I have moved my newsletter email list of 7000 people away from Aweber, a service similar to Mailchimp. They decided to match Mailchimp’s prices so my monthly bill jumped from $50/month to $130/month. That’s 160% increase, literally overnight!!

After a full rage quit, I briefly considered paying MailChimp, but its way too expensive, I don’t need any of the extra “features”, and the constant upselling is painful. So I decided to try and build something myself and eventually landed on Sendy, which I paid around $60 for, as a one-off licence payment.

After two days work, I now have a Sendy instance setup on my website subdomain and it sends the emails via AWS SES. I send about 3 email newsletters out per month, each one around 7000 emails. The first went out last night and the bill from AWS was $0.32. So my total monthly cost will be about $1, and I’m not paying for the number of ‘subscribers’. Compared to $130, that is a 99.23% saving!! Literally insane.

Proof of work and hosting your own shit wins again. It’s also a good example of where technology can be used for extortionate levels of value extraction, but also massive value gains if you do it yourself. I also pray for the day when self-hosting a cloud becomes much easier and more reliable so I’m not relying on Amazon (email) and Google (website, via an intermediary) to make this setup work.

Is it okay to have just Apple private relay enabled?

⚡️🚨 Fidelity Digital Assets says nation-state adoption of Bitcoin will trigger significant growth in the cryptocurrency market this year.

Matt Hogan, analyst at Fidelity Digital Assets, said that not making a Bitcoin allocation could become more of a risk for nations than making one.

"We expect more nation-states, central banks, sovereign wealth funds and government treasuries to look to establish strategic positions in Bitcoin."

"It is likely that nation-states would begin to accumulate in secret".

"No nation has any incentive to announce these plans, as this could influence more buyers and drive prices higher."

"We may be entering the dawn of a new era for digital assets, which is likely to extend over several years, if not decades".
