"Stay humble" isn't one of Hodl's most often used phrases 😂

Irrelevant to the topic. Jack is asking what can get normies to use Nostr & censorship reasons have already been ruled out as most people are not concerned by it.

Yeah I'm one of them. Zaps are cool I'm glad the exist but they are not something that are going to entice many people to get onto Nostr. The idea of zaps/micropayemts for articles online is something I really support but tbh zapping Nostr posts all the time just isnt going to excite people enough to stay here because after a few times it's kinda just meh 🤷‍♂️

No. People are not going to leave Twitter for Nostr unless there is something very compelling. A nice UX & simplicity isn't enough they want something different, something special not the same thing that just looks a little nicer & easier to use. Being a Twitter replacement isn't enough, Jack is absolutely correct.

Yeah well in Britain when you ask someone "Hey, what's up?" you are asking them "what's the matter?" or "what's wrong?". I'm English living in the US

Did you listen to RHR? Matt totally left out accusing Saylor of saying he'd "crush" any of the ETF's. He did acknlowedge that he "could have handled it better" so obviously he knows he's in the wrong on this saga. But you can be his fanboy if you want.

Unfortunately it's true & it's ironic coming from someone who likes to tell people to stay humble.

Right, it's as if Italians who have been eating pasta for centuries must be some of the sickest people in the world. These meat maxi's are ridiculous 🙄

He isn't, stop simping. He's making accusations without evidence & from what others who have more info on the situation (Samson Mow) Odell's claims are overblown.

He bought around 10,000 btc before Microstrategy started buying it. He said a while ago that he personally owns about 18,000 btc.

I didn't say Microstrategy. He has his own stash. If you can prove that he doesn't personally self-custody any bitcoin at all or own any wallets then I might believe he doesn't run a node.

He buys bitcoin & stores bitcoin, do you seriously think he uses other people's nodes? 🙄

"I’ve made a lot of wrong bull calls that haven’t been proven right… yet. But they will be eventually." They won't be considered right to Peter McCormack, pretty sure he won't be giving you back the bitcoin you lost to him!

It's not a good idea to make a habit of accusations in public without evidence. You did this in January with Swan too. Saylor has very good reasons for wanting bitcoin to thrive & his views on what needs to happen to bitcoin might differ from yours and going out & publicly accusing him of things when you don't know what his motives are isn't a particularly good move. You are passionate about bitcoin & open source which I totally respect but these public accusations are not going to look good on you if you keep making them.

He did the same in January with accusations against Swan Bitcoin. It's not a good look for Matt & he needs to cut it out or he'll have very few peopke wanting to work with him in the future.

Meh. There's NO way Saylor would say he'd crush any of them, nor could he crush them. I don't doubt he talked to them, maybe convinced them to chsnge their minds but this accusation sounds BS to me.

Unfortunately a lot of devices are out of stock and have been for a couple of months but apparently will be back in the second half of April. Average Gary's recommendation of the Heltec is good though, I have one. A good channel for Meshtastic stuff on Youtube is Ringway Manchester & another is Andy Kirby. 👍

Damn, I thought I was going to see a bunch of hippos having bathtime 😱

Alby wallet 👍
