Pattinson's The Batman was a slow, non action, boring, hard to watch 3 hour drag and a highly overrated movie where Batman looked constipated throughout the whole film.

watching moscow time unfold in real time was hilarious. that dude also blocked a lot of us.

So lets say its the year 2123…

The world economy is on a bitcoin standard. This is the official word now, but anyone with a few sats in their wallet knows that we have been on a bitcoin standard for far longer than the official record would record.

You are fortunate enough to be the great granddaughter of an OG coiner who bought bitcoin when it was under a million dollars! Jack even zapped your great grandfather a few sats back when nostr was just getting its legs. Way back in the day.

You have just graduated college and are going to buy your first house. One hundred thousand sats is a lot for a house You have a healthy distrust of debt so financing will not be an option. You have saved like your father and mother taught you, but what is the point of working and saving if you are never able to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Besides, you may have another way.

Your great grand father was zapped sats by Jack! Fucking Jack! And you can trace that Jack Sat all the way across the blockchain to the Blixt wallet you created just to house the key to that particular sat. And people will pay a lot of bitcoin for a Jack Sat!

So you locate a collector on nostr who has agreed to pay you the one hundred thousand sats you need for your first house, for that one sat your great grandfather was zapped by Jack. Way back in the day.

This is what a Bitcoined world looks like to me.

What do you think are the most likely types of events to suddenly pump Nostr user numbers?

A few ideas:

- a COVID redo

- Chinese adoption

- Kanye comes here

- a popular cause that requires fund raising

There are probably better ones I can't think of.

Gm and PV you rare European Nostriches!

What drives the next wave of nostr adoption?

Yes. Any species capable of getting here could intelligently and covertly determine how to fix our broken governance.

I think Satoshi was an alien

Ok, sorry but I have to just go ahead and say it: what's with all of this "empath" stuff?

Healthy human beings experience what some seem to think is an extraordinary marked phenomenon called "empathy". In fact, having empathy is SO typical that if you do NOT show the capacity for empathy towards others that is a diagnostic symptom of several cluster B personality disorders such as BPD, NPD, and sociopathy.

So please explain to me why there are people who walk around thinking that their capacity to have empathy for others, to feel by proxy emotions when intense things are shared with them, to be impacted by it, to "sense" the emotional weight that others carry (this "sense" is called perception and... EMPATHY)... is an extraordinary superpower that makes them unique and fairy-like and requiring a lot of extra-special woo-woo things like "extra self-care" and "spiritual protection"? Is your capacity to feel empathy somehow more glorious than the next person's? Every one of us has these feelings!

Literally, anyone who isn't a sociopath or who does not suffer from severe psychological disorder is an "empath" then - so please... let's reel it in. There ARE a lot of things about you that probably make you unique and special, but the capacity to feel empathy is part of being a typically abled human.

So when and where did this "I am an empath, I have extraordinary feelings and needs" thing come from? What am I missing? It seems silly to me.

For our bitcoin friends who aren’t quite ready to buy a hardware device / wallet, what alternatives would you suggest to them to get them to move their bitcoin off an exchange? There has to be a middle-ground / baby step approach they can take that is better than leaving their stack on an exchange. Simple wallets on their phone…?

pura vida, stay humble and stack sats 🤙

Can someone help me become wiser:

_________

1) When (historically) did surveillance of its citizens (movement, financial transactions, communications) become a perceived legitimate right of the American government?

2) Why is it assumed this is a legitimate right? (I.e., that a "good citizen" should be okay with their daily financial activity, for example, being monitored by the government?)

_________

I assume these questions are almost always related to claims about effective taxation and national security?

Any insights / perspectives are appreciated....

Thanks!

IMO There should be an option to enable when we set a zip. So like you can choose the amount of sats and than flag or not the option to make this zap visible just to who receive it, or visible for all, or completely anonymous.

Installed on MyNodeBTC and yeah, it's throwing a "bad gateway" error at me.

Damn.

Plebs just waiting for the one tweet he forgets the block height.

I'll say it again, "now that we have zaps and nip-57 why do we still have the 'like' button?"

That said I like the Shaka and all but it's the zaps that tell me everything I need to know because that's straight-up skin in the game. Better than any algo could inform me of anything.

Plebs just waiting for the one tweet he forgets the block height.

I just zapped #[0] as an individual zapping a company or start up, i also contribute in my own way to the growth of that company.

This is not just for content creators. We are on the verge of a real circular economy that will promote continuous progress, unhinged by fiat wolves who can stay holed up in their hills and starve.
