LMAO 😂😂😂

My 87 year old uncle told me today about a €100 gold coin (1/2 ounce) that he must have bought around the introduction of the euro in 2002/2003. Similar to the picture below.

It is considered official currency with a face value of €100.

What is this now?!?

A lesson on the fiat scam or a prank by the gold bugs who knew where the euro was headed?

BTW, in 2002 1/2 ounce of gold was worth about €160. Today it is over €1,500.

Things like this make you understand Luigi

Not saying that it was right, but I understand the point of view …

Why did Ryan Cohen do this?

You have 90% of your market cap in cash. Over $8 billion.

Why the fuck are you sitting around with this much cash and not doing anything with it?

Just buy bitcoin it’s really simple

I just find it hilarious how people go to school get degrees in finance and then study to get series 63 financial planner license and do 1000 hours of stock research just to build a portfolio that under performs bitcoin

It ain’t that hard, big dawg. Just buy bitcoin and chill.

I can’t stand men that whine like chicks. Like, grab your balls and remember you’re a man. Shut up and man the F-up.

There’s something which really bothers me about social media platforms downranking or blocking links out of the platform.

So much of what made Twitter magical was that it acted as the lead generation to so many other apps and kinds of content. Think clubhouse and only fans, but so many others. The ability to go viral and generate an audience in apps the original platform didn’t build is the magic. It’s so powerful.

By limiting linking the platforms are trying to control the user experience to drive more advertising consumption. But in the end what this does create an adversarial relationship between the platform and users.

Anyone new on nostr or been silently lurking and need a follow?

Took out a loan on @strike. As someone obsessed with UX, this was insanely clean. Great job nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgjwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxffyy48 and team!

Bitchat needs Nostr's WebOfTrust. It's the only solution against spam.

My X feed is 80% Elon shilling Grok and 20% Jack & Calle shilling Bitchat.

I enjoy about 20% of it.

Yeah, I’m not telling folks to stop their enthusastic bitcoin content. Just that if that’s all we get, we’ll stagnate and slowly wither away. We need the ability to find, share, curate, and create lots of kinds of content. Sure, use zaps and lightning to tip people and pay for content, but for almost everybody those should just be features and tools and not their focus. Humanity is incredibly diverse and within every person there’s a multitude of interests and communities.

When I was at a conference last week, a bunch of people were like “bluesky is cool, but i’m really worried it has no business model. how are the developers and users going to make money to sustain the network.” Well Nostr has an answer to that. The value to users is that there’s an easy low cost micropayments system. They don’t care if it’s run with the traditional banking system, bitcoin, some custom token, ethereum, sea shells, or even a centralized db like paypal. The value to people is in what it lets them do, not how it works under the hood. Honestly even all the censorship resistance, soverignty over identity, open source, open protocol stuff is not particularly interesting to most people. They want to go where the interesting people and content are. We’ve got to make that compelling.
