I DONT WANT TO BE A BITCOIN INFLUENCER.

I DONT WANT TO BE ON SAYLORS YACHTS.

YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER ME.

MY FOCUS IS MY FAMILY.

WE WILL LIVE FREE.

SOMETHING MAGICAL IS HAPPENING IN NOSTR

I CAN FEEL IT

I love waking up to negative fiat 😂

The main difference is response time expectations. email is more async and respects peoples time and flow states.

how is it a productivity drain? just schedule email into specific times so that it doesn’t interrupt your productivity.

korn is classic rock now

Inflation target 2%

Awesome! Good luck! I wonder if ES has something similar?

re: his point on retention. It is true that most people do not stick around. It’s sad that “make people addicted to your app“ by pumping retention is the standard of success. My main goal is to just build tools that people find useful and gives them freedom in ways to communicate that don’t “go down” or get censored. Maybe most people don’t need or want this solution right now. Maybe elons vision of free speech is “good enough” for most people. Some things are just out of our control, what we can focus on as nostr devs is continuing to polish our solutions and be ready for when we are needed. nostr:note1ju88tlqrqjjry63mumet2kper8n8dnqlshs2qp0qm72m86khh3yqctvl3m

most people think email is bad because the only client they’ve ever used is gmail

Gather round, children, and I will tell you a harrowing tale about a very dangerous doxxer called: THE PHONE BOOK. Back in the 80s the phone book would tell everyone your number and address, you know, so you could communicate with neighbors. Scary, I know.

Maybe this is why I don’t feel this kind of fear of #Nostr that is described here?

But I could see a need for “quarantining” certain notes that pose a direct threat to others. It’s interesting to consider how this work could be accomplished in a decentralized way.

A story that illustrates why I will never orange pill anyone ever again.

2015- Attempt to orange pill friend multiple times. No dice. Totally uninterested.

2019- He asks me if now is a good time to get into bitcoin. “It’s always a good time”. I set him up with a HW wallet and tell him DCA and chill.

2019- Friend calls me a few months later, he wants to put the down payment money for his house into bitcoin, but he’s nervous. I say no worries I will backstop your investment. What’re friends for?! I want you to succeed. He now has a no risk investment. Financed by me.

2020: Friend is doing well. Has been stacking hard and has 2 coins. A great stack for his income.

2021: He starts watching cringey YouTube videos about shitcoin trading. Gets into a private telegram, trades his 2 bitcoin into 4 and then gets rug pulled and loses everything.

2021: He’s near suicidal, very dark times. He doesn’t tell me anything because he knows I warned him about trading and thinks I’ll be disappointed in him. Finally he tells me. I help him get a personal loan so he can take advantage of the remainder of the bull run. He sells at 55k and manages to break even. He’s not up but he’s got his house money back.

2023: We’re out drinking with some other friends from high school. He expresses some jealousy towards me in a semi awkward fashion. “Every time I see this dude (me) I think about bitcoin.”

2024: I meet up with him so the kids can play at the park. Vibe is off. Lots of insecurity and tension. They’re going on a trip to San Diego and I ask if they might go to the zoo while there. “I can’t afford that. That’s for rich people like you”. Odd interaction, but I shake it off.

2024: A few weeks later he gets drunk and hits on my wife via text messages. She shows me immediately and I confront him. He’s like “sorry bro I was drunk I didn’t mean it”. I tell him off and make clear this is the last time we will ever speak.

No good deed goes unpunished. I could not have been nicer to this dude and more helpful along the way and he is fully consumed by envy towards me.

Unfortunate.
