Bankers keep saying #Bitcoin is not backed by anything.

Come on that is the entire point.

There are paid, and there are free relays; I pay for a bunch of relays I use.

normalize going through someone new you stumble on and zapping old notes

Totally understand this. How do the relays stay censorship resistant? What can I like a relay to to understand how Nostr is architected?

certainly,

someone somehow has to operate relays. The cost of operating relays must be settled somehow (i.e., paid relays)

If the relay operator were to use a non-censorship-resistant money + payment rail, the funding of that relay is *subject* to the approval of whoever can censor that money or those transactions.

Say a relay operator were to take USDC as payment: the US government could instantly shutdown that relay by knocking on the issuer of USDC and blocking those funds.

Some people are still confused why nostr DEPENDS on bitcoin to be decentralized.

It's not the zaps, it's not spam prevention

Building and running nostr infrastructure has a cost,

Like anything that incurs a cost, the underlying layers of how that cost is settled determine its attributes.

Layer 1: Money

Layer 2: Payment rails

Anything built on top of these layers can be as censorship-resistant as the layers themselves, but not more.

If these layers are not censorship-resistant, anything built on top of them will by necessity also not be.

It’s working 🌹🧡⚡️! Zap you back!

Oh snap! 🧡🌹⚡️🔥

leave steak out to reach room temp, season generously with salt & pepper, let absorb for 30 minutes, get the pan extremely hot, brown some butter, reduce to medium, brown the edges of the steak, then a few minutes each side

Help needed folks. What are sats? What are zaps? #newbie #help #introductions

#[0] has by far been the easiest and fastest way to get people feeling nostr and bitcoin.

it goes from install to receive fastest I’ve seen, especially for outside the US friends

💯 so true 🙏💜

Indeed.. the only difference is that Bitcoin is a kid, it will grow in value, and so will its satoshis..

One we will be humble and able to buy a kg of bread for 10/20 sats. The "pizza guy" story will become legend and we "crazy nostric zappers" will be treated like fools in some cycles from now because we were sending each other incredible wealth just to tip a shitposting 😅

Correct. The sooner you stop trusting 3rd parties to deliver your high time preference convenience instant gratification “needs” and simply start building your own off grid sovereign bad ass shit, the happier you will be…

Simple.
