What are hashtags good for on nostr?
#asknostr
I think we all want to talk about the things we consider important and not about the things we don't consider important.
However, a better way to look at it is: Consider yourself highly privileged and everyone you meet as cautious and unprivileged. Now, it is your job to make them feel comfortable. So you probe around for subjects that they can feel comfortable talking about.
Since you have been given so much already you want to give them a little something. So invite them in.
Unfortunately, it really depends on your foot and will probably take at least 2,000 miles of you running in various shoes (at around 100 USD a pop). For me, I started with Nike moved to New Balance back to Nike there was a Brooks period in there but finally settled on Saucony Jazz. My foot is (or at least was) highly curved with a high arch.
A consult with a podiatrist might also help, but isn't necessary. Nike's motto sort of sums it up: Just Do It.
But shoes sort of break down/wear out at somewhere between 500 and 700 miles so get some new ones to start.
Not a fan of Shiba. Or any other shitcoins.
I suppose I SHOULD understand MTG. I mean after all, I was totally on board with Jimmy Cayne playing bridge in 2007 while the whole world's economy crashed as a result of bad decisions made by his firm's traders. (At the time I was a talented bridge player myself but not in command of enough wealth to compete with the likes of team Cayne.)
Some lucky person just became a millionaire by opening a pack of cards for the game Magic The Gathering. According to reports It’s a 1/1 card of “The One Ring,” meaning there’s only one like it in the entire world.
Rich fans have been offering up to two million actual dollars for it, which is roughly 68 Bitcoin at current rates.
Crazy to think some piece of cardboard would be worth that much

Either I don't understand MTG or I don't understand money or I don't understand both of them.
Heard someone no less famous than Alanis Morisette, well OK it was Alanis, say "I wanted to be famous so I could connect more easily with more people. When I became famous I discovered it was actually an impediment to connection."
Five pm in case anyone is lurking here. I thought 530 because of connections around public transit. (I either arrive at 426 or 507. So it's 507. LOL.)
Are you in LA?
Monthly bitcoin meetup at Firestone Walker in Marina Del Rey tomorrow at five thirty pm. I'll be there.
I am of the opinion that the exchanges are "juicing" the volume, but I don't have any hard evidence for that.
Maybe we should hold people accountable for their pasts . . . subject to explanations of course.
You know . . . sort of like . . . in real life.
Miners are (overtly, recently) selling approximately 100% of production.
That is 6 * 24 * 6.25 (or 900) coins per day (or 6 * 24 * 30 * 6.25 (or 27,000) per month).
The (rough, average) trading volume for July was 12.7 million bitcoins per day.
900/12,700,000 is not much.
These back of envelope calculations may or may not be correct.
My only qualifications are a few decades of sobriety and living in LA. So I would suggest moving someplace where there is a concentration of wealth. Like LA, NYC, London, etc. There were (about 25-35 years ago) a fair number of the "idle rich" hiding out in Paris some of whom were looking for sobriety.
I guess the other thing I might suggest is to try giving it away "for fun and for free" and taking advantage of the (other) opportunities that flow naturally from that approach. Very few people are going to consciously obstruct you in pursuit of a goal of giving them what they want.
I’m not even sure what “grow the economy" means.
I am sure that mindless over consumption is evil.
Just like Wells Fargo?
Ok
You could do a sound effect of crumpling it up and throwing it in a metal trash can.
