Interesting because Amethyst wouldn't let me vote, it just flashed up a row of zap icons with different amounts of sats to send.

Hey Nico I was listening to the opening few mins of the podcast when you are talking about banks charging fees for accounts with amounts under a certain figure. It reminded me of an old Louis CK bit about being broke & dealing with his bank. This is an absolute classic piece of comedy & so very true too. If you haven't seen it you should watch it, it's really good.

That's the wrong way to think about people (and maybe a bit arrogant Hodl). Just because a person has a low IQ doesn't mean they aren't good people though. There's a LOT of very intelligent people in this world who are dangerous to large populations, such as many politicians. I care less about somebody's IQ most of the time and more about their character.

Yeah I understand what you're saying Matt & I've been using Nostr over a year now but unless others come onboard its just a niche thing for bitcoiners. I do hope the user base expands though, I really do. 👍

Integral to the story

This response is accurate though & I really like Nostr & want to see it succeed but as long as Nostr is just used by bitcoiners it won't have a long term future. Social media for bitcoiners is fine, it'll just have a short shelf life.

Oh got ya, but he fought Peter not the law. The song is about being a criminal & fighting the law & ending up in prison so not really the same thing though faketoshi is a scammer & should be in prison too. What a total POS he is.

I'm not sure investors in any type of asset take advice from Cramer any more but certainly he has zero influence on anyone holding bitcoin. Seriously, who would sell bitcoin because Cramer suggests it? That's right, no-one. I don'y know why people pay any attention to him tbh.

My concern with Trump becoming orange pilled is it will harden the left's anti-bitcoin stance even more. There's just no way the left are going to adopt bitcoin if Trump starts advocating for it.

Fantastic news Peter, really happy to hear that. What those two have done is absolutely disgusting & they need to be stopped.

I hear about Shinobi from nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev #BitcoinAudible. He reads his articles about #Bitcoin and #Lightning. Do you guys think his technical opinions about this two topics also flawed? Because when you are not too technical yourself you need to trust someone at some point. For example I feel like I can trust nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx when it comes to his moral compass.

This reminded me, the other day nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a was saying in #WhatBitcoinDid to nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx that pure self custody is a platonic ideal so we all need to trust someone at some point with something.

It's fine to trust Odell but that doesn't mean he is right any more than Shinobi is wrong. So far Nostr hasn't gained any users beyond some bitcoiners & despite Odell regularly saying Nostr will be the standard it won't be if its just a sub-set of bitcoiners using it.

Been using Nostr for a year and not seen any growth outside of bitcoiners at all and it's only a very small number of the total amount of bitcoiners out there. I like Nostr a lot & big supporter of open source but Nostr isn't going to be the standard if only a very tiny fraction of internet users are using it. Regradless of your opinions of Twitter Nostr isn't going to replace it.

Jfc I said "the other dude", the one I originally responded to not you. Your reading comprehension needs some work ffs.

Not me at all. The other dude was. I'm fine with an increase in tx fees. He's the one complaining. Can't wait for $1 million bitcoin but getting pissed off that tx fees won't be 1 sat per byte any longer 🙄
