With the commercialization of the molecule and the proliferation of easy-access dispensers, I would say it’s awfully close to other pharmaceuticals. And while not as addictive or toxic, it’s still a chemical commandeered and marketed to the masses.

The first used song I ever heard. Got me hooked.

I’ve learned more about bitcoin on NOSTR in 1 year than 5+ years of using Bitcoin.

In a recent article, I analyzed the ten most decisive monetary attributes and examined whether gold or Bitcoin has an advantage. The table below summarizes the results.

Bitcoin wins in 6 out of the 10 categories, including hardness (resistance to debasement), which I believe will be the most decisive factor.

While gold has an advantage over Bitcoin in durability, that advantage will only be relevant in the case of an inescapable, global return to the Stone Age that lasts into eternity. Such an unlikely outcome is not relevant to investment decisions today.

Gold also has a fleeting advantage in liquidity, fungibility and privacy, and recognition. However, Bitcoin is eroding those advantages every day.

If current trends continue, I believe Bitcoin will overtake gold in these categories in the years ahead.

Putting it all together, gold’s advantages over Bitcoin are either irrelevant or melting away.

The inescapable conclusion is that Bitcoin has superior fundamental characteristics that make it a better tool for sending value through time and space.

Digital gold is better than analog gold.

In short, Bitcoin is likely to win the ultimate competition and become the world’s dominant money.

Stack sats instead!

Your future self will thank you……

I don't know who needs to hear this, but weed is just another pharmaceutical.

World is full of them

NEW: HUT 8 Mining CEO "supply shortages on exchanges" are driving the "largest banks" to reach out about buying #Bitcoin

Just in time for the halving 💥

Seems I'm an invisible nostrich once more, so it's time for a break. 🫥

Sending notes and replies into the void is demoralising. Maybe my relay game is off? Or maybe my contributions have no value? In which case I'm wasting time rather than investing it in the future I want to see.

I need to rethink this, as I don't want to be a Nostr NPC... just contributing to the network stats in exchange for the illusion of censorship resistance.

I did try, even zapping those who bothered to reply to my ramblings, which in retrospect was paying for their attention. I offered mine for free, because pura vida, plebchain. But now it feels like I'm the senile old man in the corner muttering to his imaginary friends.

I imagine a new npub posting gpt quips and musavir hottie pics would get 100x the interest and engagement, but that isn't the future I want to see.

Sigh.

Double sigh.

Super audible sigh.

💜🫡😕😔💜

Is this for real? 🥲

oh my god 🤤
