Indeed. If you have the sats, you have the power.
Now I just thought of something... On Primal there's a section for "most zapped" on the side. So I guess if you want to advertise something you could potentially set up 2 lightning nodes and then zap yourself more sats than the top note. Of course not all clients will have a "most zapped" section but it's an idea. It really incentivizes a sort of money making and saving game. 💡

WOW! What an article and what a letter! 🤯
nostr:npub1p39hp8uz3ylu540rkjzrff7z9s7c4fhypuz7q0mw873g2zy7z9rqndf582 I just watched your video. I really enjoyed it! Nice work. 👍
I agree. In addition, an inherent part of the statement is, "all the bitcoin is not just for one single entity." In regards to banks and other such institutions becoming custodians and exchanges for bitcoin, it's a good and logical next step. Banks should be integrating bitcoin withdraws and deposits into their apps. In addition, they should support lightning withdraws and lightning services to newbies.
I would be delighted to have that ability in my current banking app! I could withdraw bitcoin to my own node and keep dollars in my bank in case I can't use sats directly or indirectly via gift cards. Everyone everywhere should have their banking app allow them to get some bitcoin and move it into their own custody. I would prefer the withdraw to be instant with no wait post exchange.
I will say that there's an interesting balancing act in regards to tradeoffs here. Since there's still a centralized entity facilitating the bitcoin acquisition process, you might need to introduce daily amount limits for instant withdraws. You could also allow people to opt into custom waiting times with no amount limits on withdraws. I dunno, this is stuff that's already being done.
Though, I could see an argument here against the idea of supporting centralized exchanges of any kind. Surveillance could be a big thing but that depends on several questions. Like what is your threat level like and do we have enough people using bitcoin services to make it extremely difficult for a malicious entity to attempt "devious actions" upon individuals or in mass?
There's definitely a rabbit hole here but I think it's not useful to be paranoid for no reason. There's usually enough evidence to support that most people are probably not out to get you. 🤔
My goodness, it's a TF2 post on nostr! EPIC! 😮
There are a lot of people who like FNAF, especially kids. There a lot of puzzles and alternate reality games that people have to solve in order to figure out the smallest details about the story. Even then, the details for the story are vague. With so little information it lets the fans' imaginations run wild. Lots of people jump to conclusions and try to make theories about the story.
There's a YouTuber named MattPat who makes videos about his theories for the franchise's story. He's pretty obsessed with it and has been a prominent figure within the community. His videos are entertaining but I personally find that he "leaves the planet" a little too much.
I suspect the franchise's creator decided to make some of his theories come true just to be nice. There's not a lot of doubt in my mind that the games were never meant to have a well thought out and complete story. There are books so maybe there's more information there. Though I don't particularly like nor care about FNAF that much so I don't really know. I just went to the movie with a friend who's really into it.
No, it's not very gory. It's rated PG-13 and the horror aspect of it is actually kind of disappointing. We also don't get to know why the man killed the children in the movie. There are loads of questions and plot points that don't get answered or resolved. The effects are also not great. The games also don't give away a whole lot of information. I don't know if the books are any better story wise. To me it feels like the story for the entire franchise is a little under cooked.
It's about a man who's struggling to take care of his kid sister. He has trouble making ends meet so he takes a job as a security guard at "Freddy Fazbear's Pizza" which used to be a popular restaurant back in the 1980's.
The diner had animatronic mascots that were built be suits that employees could wear. The mechanism used to facilitate this was found to be lethal due to a flaw in the design.
In his dreams he's haunted by the ghosts of children whose bodies and souls inhabit the restaurant's animatronic mascots. He finds out the mascots want to take his sister away and turn her into an animatronic so they can play together forever.
He finds out that the animatronics are not actually acting on their own free will and are instead under the control of restaurant owner. It is revealed he murdered them years ago and used a voodoo children's drawing to make them believe otherwise.
The protagonist, his sister, and the antagonist's daughter help free the ghost children. The mascots then kill the man responsible for their deaths and allow the protagonists to leave in peace.
TL;DR
Ghost children inhabit animatronic mascots from "Chuck E Cheese." They kill their murderer. The end.
Watched the FNAF movie today. Wasn't a big fan. Though, as fan service I bet it did well. 🤷♂️
I'm so glad NOSTR CEO commissioned you! 😆
From ToonTown: Corporate Clash...
Okay, honestly... I have this problem where I want to post all sorts of stuff on nostr but I feel like it doesn't matter unless I feel like I'm doing something. I guess the point is that by posting on nostr I am doing something. So I guess I'll try to post all sorts of garbage here. XD
Yes and likewise. Unfortunately, there are situations where Mastercard or Visa gift cards are not accepted and bitcoin too. So I find myself in the same boat. Might as well get some sats for making purchases that have to be on a debit card linked to a bank account. Despite my lamentations, Fold still has utility.
Ya, I don't really use Fold for bitcoin rewards anymore. Supplementing a random sats back mechanic based on percent for a random low sat flat reward is not great. I'm not going to lie, I saw this coming. Though, I am glad to have used it for when it was decent. Even when it was decent you didn't have the sats until you accumulated 50,000. Which is still the case on top of its current problems.
nostr:npub1s33sw6y2p8kpz2t8avz5feu2n6yvfr6swykrnm2frletd7spnt5qew252p I know nostr may not have the biggest impact in bringing Bitcoin to the masses, but try not to forget about posting your videos here on nostr. All up to you, of course! 😄
