When you are walking through the insect/arachnid/reptile exhibit wearing sandals and a plant brushes your foot... I didn't yell any profanity, but I did jump about a foot in the air. #killitwithfire

I feel the same way. It is a bit lonely to be the one who stops the intergenerational trauma because you become the last man standing, but I’d prefer my kids never know the kind of pain I went through.

Just got this message. The reply is me trying to be blunt 🤣🤣 how did I do 😇🤣

Seeing a clip of Gary Stevenson on Piers Morgan talking about taxing the rich, guaranteeing that the economy is going to get worse, and how bad inequality is as a result seems off

Good sound bites

No doubt speaks to a lot of people

Just want to shake them both and ask: "what is MONEY?!!"

Some people are paid not to notice though

I wonder if Gary is actually Marxist and wants to be a central banker

When youtube decides to ban you, you will look back at this idea and think: why didn’t I push forward full trottle when I had it!

Not your keys not your videos!

Let that sink in and let me know what you think!

I’m building a brand Island Wealth on Youtube and Linkedin.

It is small. But I invest a lot of time in it.

And while it is still small I’m thinking: why am I putting all my time and attention to decentralized social media that can ban me in a snap?

Am I freaking crazy?

So I started first streaming everything to zap stream while streaming it to youtube, facebook and linkedin.

But thinking strongly about ONLY streaming to zap stream AND even buding my own bloom server!!!

On the long run I own my nostr keys and thus I own my content!!!

You have a mich bigger audience on Youtube. So you have a much bigger liability than me. If they cut you off your revenue streams from youtube are cut off right away.

So from a - not your keys not your Bitcoin view point - and analogy - not your keys not your videos - you don’t OWN any of your content on Youtube!

You don’t!

So hope you know what you have to do.

Whatever you do: good luck!

I'm thinking about posting all my videos on Nostr instead of just YouTube & Rumble. Would that be a good thing, or too much clutter?

people who complain about the price of eggs and laugh when you ask them how much a chicken is are not economists

Out of all the social networks I'm aware of, I think Nostr is the one with the most committed husbands. It's also the one with the most committed fathers.

This is a refreshing place to be, even if not many wife's are on here.

More people should be mad about these deportations to El Salvador without any due process.

This is a great debate. Diminishing returns or not

I generally lean towards the idea that one day we wake up and it’s double / triple / quadruple overnight

But Kosta makes a good case of diminishing

Time will tell!

Question for people who have those bright white led lightbulbs in their home, what the fuck is wrong with you?

“Bitcoin is growing by a power law trend. Now, a power law is a very unique characteristic that is not typical of a financial asset — it's more typical of, for example, the growth rate of a city. The growth rate of a city like New York or Tokyo follows a power law. Now, why would this happen to a financial asset? Well, because it's not only a commodity, it's also a social network. When you start to understand that, you start to understand why or how Bitcoin can also be growing not only as a financial asset like gold, but also as a social network like Facebook. That gives one confidence. If you have Ethereum or XRP — it doesn’t have that.

We could put our algorithm on Ethereum and it would do like 4–5x what Bitcoin would do — but not safely. It wouldn't survive all the stress testing that we would do. The ironic thing about Bitcoin is that it almost has predictable growth. If you take away the boom and bust cycles, it is actually growing at a very steady rate. It's scale invariant. In other words, at every scale, it's increasing.

But it's also diminishing returns, which we believe is one of its strengths. This is also a contrarian idea. People think that the adoption is going to take off and it's going to explode, whereas our position is that the explosive growth has already happened. What's going to happen now is we're going to have diminishing bubbles, diminishing returns — but a steady rate of growth, potentially forever, as long as it exists in a fiat system.”
