And just like India buys Russia’s oil and then resells it to Europe with a markup, I’m hoping for a rich ecosystem of global entities that want to help take advantage of the arbitrage and move funds between networks.

Like CBDC —> govt as a service. A bureaucrat’s dream.
My favorite current rock band is the Warning, for probably three years straight now. Three young Mexican women that know what they're doing, especially the singer.

I was blown away when I saw their cover of Enter Sandman…
What’s really gonna bake their noodle later on is to see how an interconnected distributed ecosystem paired with native money will pull everyone in. Watch that flywheel spin. 🚀
You’re right. They start off amazing. Get a big audience and then rug pull everyone as they seek profitability.
“Don’t be evil” becomes 👿👹👺
My spirits, seeing so many favorites back posting on nostr. Like nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a
Support freedom. Please post on nostr first. 🙏 otherwise it forces us to sign up and maybe later KYC to get your great content. ❤️
Once you deeply understand inflation and shrinkflation, it's hard to not turn into a cynical doomer.
My experience is that you turn into a hopeful bitcoiner. 🧡
Did I mention the part where I wore my Mempool tee on the flight to Morocco (where #Bitcoin is “illegal”), and was stopped by a customs officer who asked about said shirt, then winked and told me to be careful, then asked if he could add me on LinkedIn, then asked about jobs a abroad in Bitcoin?
Yeh, that happened.
Yo, nostr:npub1uvl7vhclmezvdhqha6eclkksln40rjhgwgsggvew683jf93fr4pq3mq3sd, wen @mempool?
Wow
Please get the word out on Twitter.
✅ If you care about freedom, post everything on Nostr first.
Let the bitcoiners know so they don’t force us here to move to twitter to see their posts.
Here’s what I think is coming:
1) force all US wallets to be registered under FBAR. Don’t worry, they’ll make it easy to do. Just hand over your tax ID and xpub.
2) release an API to check if a wallet address is registered
3) force exchanges to block all withdrawals to unregistered wallets; force software wallets to block all transfers from registered wallets to unregistered wallets; force businesses to block receipt of payments from unregistered wallets.
3) create a penalty, seizure and / or jail, for having control an unregistered wallet. If your unregistered bitcoin is transferred to a regulated entity, poof it’s gone.
Of course this won’t stop bitcoin. It’s just going to make life for Americans hell unless a few States stand up and push back. Also, countries will compete for bitcoiners so there will be places to go.
If Canada wanted to attract productive people with capital it should simply return to being a free country, with pro-family and pro-business policies.
I think their program will be successful but I’m wondering now much the world has changed with AI.
I suspect that those techies skew junior (or else they would have jobs in the US). I’ve personally seen first hand how AI reduces the need for junior developers.
I’m not sure how it will all turn out, but it will be interesting to watch.
Just saw this in the topic👇

If we could figure out the spam and fakery, we could build a browser plugin that parses the twitter web page and reposts each tweet to nostr. With hashes for the twitter account and each tweet, it might prevent tweet duplication and make accounts findable here on nostr.
As a few people browse twitter from the web, the browser plug-in would auto reposting tweets from the pages they browse.
It would be a one-way publishing from twitter to nostr, but at least the content would be visible without KYC.
The problem seems that if anyone can repost a tweet from a particular twitter account, there will be spammers who will fill accounts with fake messages.
I liked the part where they showed how the wagon tracks on Crete extended far under the sea. Made it really tangible for me.
Watch Ancient Apocalypse on Netflix. It reviews the evidence for an ancient advanced race that was destroyed when the sea water quickly rose ~400 feet around 11,000 years ago.
