I've never seen this, what is the point of this rule?

Regardless of what you think of current Twitter, I think it is inevitable that it will have to integrate the Nostr protocol. It solves all the problems that Elon talks about with 1/100th the effort (versus creating a closed system for Twitter). Nostr+Twitter network effects solves everything, frankly.

The tough part is that the problems that elon outlines with Twitter can be fixed with nostr and bitcoin. B4v/zaps, verified anonymity, getting rid of bots, it’s all there.

They also condense lots of information into visual representation, making communication more efficient.

Im watching the Midjourney Discord generate a new image every few seconds, none of it real. It runs 24/7. An exponentially accelerating body of untruth being created and disseminated around the world. What happens when you can't trust anything? What happens to our kids who grow up NEVER trusting anything they see/hear?

Thanks Gigi, you are a worldwide treasure.

Has anyone come up with a quick, efficient way to onboard a small group of people with a wallet and some sats? For example, after teaching a "what is Bitcoin?" session, how can I quickly get everyone to download a wallet and send each of them some sats? I'm talking about a group of 10 up to maybe 50.

Yep. Very likely we make it.

I think many of us are doing everything possible to get to that technical/medical horizon with a healthy enough body.

I think we need to consider the speed with which we can talk today compared to even 15-20 years ago. If you listen to the AIP guys, they constantly talk about the fact that everyone in SV is on a phone thread with everyone else talking about things in real time. Combine with Twitter/Media, and contagion can spread exponentially.

Still, I agree if ANY sort of talking will cause your bank to fail, it's a problem with the bank (consistent with your initial post, Jason).

What's really going to be insane is if the Govt sold all of their stolen/seized BTC into the market bottom, now have zero exposure, and immediately every bank, business, and person moves in and the price moons.

Watching the difference between Bitcoin Nostr ("Bitcoin is good, I'm good, it's all good, how are you doing?") and Twitter ("EverYTHinG Is BREaKING OFUCK OFUCK OFUCK!!?!?!?!) is quite interesting. I'm glad I don't really live in that world much anymore, it's so stressful.

SH,SS

Of course!! It’s just interesting that it’s backwards from traditional consumer behavior.

What is the protocol going forward? Use the value before zapping, or vice versa? Traditional consumer behavior would suggest the second, but the first allows trial.
