Must admit I think you’re 5 years too late for value / interest to come from stock content like this. Strive for a new path rather than cliche cookie cutter content like this.
Granted I’ve had a couple, but today September 22nd at 12 midnight I must admit this is the first time I’ve thought that Nostr is just NGMI. Engagement is terrible. Maybe it’ll grow to something different - I can certainly see that - but as a social app I just don’t see it. Signing off all 🤘🏼🤷
What about the improved data which improves absolutes over subjectivism? We can now for once ‘prove’ who was at fault. Surely a positive?
What are your views on the argument that in its current form Nostr actually increases centralisation and the concentration of engagement? Those with other platforms (social, IRL presence, marketing dollars) can funnel and build their Nostr network quite easily, whilst those with none of this - the average person - finds it incredibly difficult to get engagement. If the answer is it’s down to the client can just adopt a Twitter like algorithm, wouldn’t those connections just permeate into the wider Nostr community? Eg, I build a large following using a Nostr Twitter algo carbon copy, those connections are now made irrespective of what other clients are doing. My outreach has now grown significantly.
Can’t comment on the technical implementation you’re discussing with others, but from a user perspective an editable note (ideally time bound, 3min? 10min?) is clearly in demand and a nice feature. Like others I’d like to drill down into a history of previous versions. I don’t think the history should truly disappear.

At least you’re not waking up at 3:33…
Madness. In the UK there are regs against promoting crypto to the average retail investor.
Agree. However I also think some people really like it. You even see that in personal design choices for many homes. People love a shinny glass and modernist kitchen for example. My friends prefer to live in a modernist flat rather than a house. Guess it’s all just different strokes for different folks.
Blows my mind you can’t work at McDonald’s at his age but you can be a president. It’s a bit of a disgrace and complete embarrassment for the country.
Any pics? Which country?
I’m genuinely surprised that there haven’t been any popular dramatisations of Bitcoin or crypto creationist stories. Sure, featured as a major thread in a number of Silk Road style movies, and referenced in other crime or tech related stuff. And a few low budged documentaries. But no origin stories. Get behind it #netflix #amazonprime and entertain me. Ten part mini series at least. We all wanna bitch about its factual accuracy al’ready)
It wasn't jefferson, but the quote is still a powerful and apt diagnosis/assessment https://www.monticello.org/research-education/thomas-jefferson-encyclopedia/private-banks-spurious-quotation/
Ah thank you! To quote Abraham Lincoln “you should DYOR Liminal Space and not just quote videos you see online”. Cheers for socialising.
Interesting. I know that many like his style. But would you say he is your preference over Antonopoulos? Follow up question: if MS had a fraction of the notional in BTC terms, would his say be as well regarded? What new has he bought to the space.
Not being confrontational here, genuinely looking for a few good clips to change my view as I seem to be missing something (and not thru lack of trying!)
Great to see some challenges Stella, lucid, Matt. I’ll revisit that thermodynamics point but maybe as a YouTube clip (everything in proportion). Agree that we want as many varied views as possible and he certainly resonates with many. I know nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx often notes that MS really brings the crowds in terms of unique listens, so as long as the passion inspires and fishhooks SOMEONE (and most importantly someone new) then I’m all for it.
Architecture like this is phenomenal. I often wonder if capitalism has reduced this beauty and faceless functionalism is the order of the day. What’s the best building made since 2000 for example?
Second, I always wish when traveling that there were things aimed at tourists but were local, high quality, and had a certain uniqueness and local importance to them. I’d be first in line.
I guess with the same concept of free market capitalism not many other people want this (or it’s less profitable) otherwise the market would have closed the gap around this need.
I must admit I’ve never been able to listen to a complete #MichaelSaylor interview/video/pod. And I’ve tried multiple times with a range of hosts and a range of mediums. Jumbled thoughts, ‘American waffle’, hyperbole. In my view a very poor communicator. Not my ambassador that’s for sure. Happy to be challenged on this too.
From nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m video he shared earlier "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." Thomas Jefferson #quoteoftheday #quote #BYOB
My coding experience extends only so far as to being able to just about spell python
