Are tether private equity investments part of the dollar peg mechanism or just from company profits?

Only selling locally for now. Haven’t figured out how to ship. Selling for $10/loaf in sats.

DM sent. Got it up and running. It’s definitely an alpha version with a couple test posts. https://nostr-circlecon.vercel.app

Awesome, appreciate the feedback. Maybe they could post a supplier post on there so they can get more merchants? Not sure how you’d feel about that since other merchants would technically be your competitors.

Those are mine lol. To show examples. Although I do bake and sell sourdough so I would like to find a small batch supplier of flour. 😁

But that design tho..

I can get what I have so far up and running somewhere tonight. I’ll ping you when it’s live. It’s pretty basic right now. Nothing super flashy yet.

Follow-up question. Do your suppliers accept sats? Maybe they would be interested in creating a classified for their supplies so other merchants could find them?

It works the same on the supplier side.

Example: I make sourdough bread and sell it for sats to my customers. I’d like to pay my flour suppliers in sats as well. I create a listing on this app and a supplier who’s sees my listing can contact me to set up a deal.

Is this something you all would use? Would you even want to pay for your ingredients in sats? Or have you already found your suppliers and aren’t looking for new ones?

Maybe even a reverse merger. No big conspiracy, it just kind of makes sense. XXI wants to be more than a just a treasury company but has no products. Strike has the products and is profitable but doesn’t have the treasury and public standing to be huge fast. Same CEO.

Here’s a script for your family’s secret Santa

const names = []

function createSecretSanta(names) {

if (names.length < 2) {

throw new Error("Need at least 2 names for Secret Santa")

}

const shuffled = [...names]

for (let i = shuffled.length - 1; i > 0; i--) {

const j = Math.floor(Math.random() * (i + 1));

[shuffled[i], shuffled[j]] = [shuffled[j], shuffled[i]]

}

const assignments = []

for (let i = 0; i < shuffled.length; i++) {

const giver = shuffled[i]

const receiver = shuffled[(i + 1) % shuffled.length]

assignments.push({ giver, receiver })

}

return assignments

}

const assignments = createSecretSanta(names)

assignments.forEach((assignment) => {

console.log(`${assignment.giver} -> ${assignment.receiver}`)

})

It’s pretty much the same story every time. Fancy sounding bros raise a ton of money to reimagine social, spend it all to build the fancy tech platform, cry when no users show up, post on medium about hard the grind was, somehow get a ton of praise, become a VC.

Thanks nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev for the rebuttal episode. That article is truly mind boggling. Some of the comments on the original post that are wrecking my brain:

- “Bitcoin is absolutely for fascists. It is for the libertarian mindset”

- “As a practical matter, I assume anything the T Rump family gets involved in is actually nothing more than a grift”

- “Why are bitbros so obsessed with transaction speed? Because that's about all blockchain can offer - along with burning ridiculous amounts of power”

- 🤣 “I am also happy for human rights activists who use it to defend against de-banking by authoritarian regimes. But one must take stalk of the society-level and civilizational-scale implications”

- “Since it's inception, it doesn't obey even the most fundamental laws of what constitutes money that we're taught at school”

It’s honestly hard to comprehend how Mike Brock could work at Square/Block/TBD literally building decentralized identity products, and reporting to nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m and have these opinions.

Ah so it measures the degree of ADHD as well! 🤣

A great way to quantify your degree of procrastination. Find the browser tab of the thing you’re supposed to be working on, and then count how many browser tabs there are to the right of that tab.

Would you rather solo mine 1 bitcoin block or score 1 touchdown in the NFL?

I generally agree. But even Steve Job’s original vision for apps were web based. While PWA’s aren’t there yet, and won’t be for a long time, I think it’s a good goal to strive for though. Devs should build native apps first but also build PWA’s, resources willing, to continue to push it forward.

First things first. Do you use a square terminal and have bitcoin payments turned on???

Kind of funny how nothing ever really changes.

I'll be visiting CR in February, how can I get here??? Looks much more fun than a hotel gym.

I mean, if Google gave back the $12.37 ride fare then they should be all good right?

Would you rather use Bluesky than Threads???

Finally got to see a SpaceX launch last night. Very cool IRL.

$300 per tx and a $5000 yearly cap seems a little small…
