Is it just me but I cannot stand the word crypto

Where are the monero guys in the replies?

A lot depends on what device you're accessing nostr on. For me, as a long time laptop user (previous online business) I definitely prefer Iris. Clean, logical and easy to navigate. I do have Damus on my iPhone, but don't use it so much.

This is my first NOSTR message. My public key is:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv

No one will ever be happy. Moving on.

As a value investor, I find Charlie Munger's recent WSJ-published arguments to ban bitcoin/crypto and thank the leader of the Chinese Communist Party to be embarrassing and sad.

I'm currently writing a research note to 10,000 retail and institutional subscribers on why it's dumb.

Munger has a history of arguing that someone should be able to "steelman" their opposing view if they are going to have an opinion on something, which means being able to articulate an opponent's viewpoint more convincingly than even they can. Recently on CNBC, Munger was quoted on his historical claim and then asked by the anchor to steelman bitcoin/crypto after his WSJ op-ed, and he was unable to and didn't even try to.

He doesn't know anything about Segwit, Taproot, block size limits, whether a base layer should be Turing complete or not, anything about power dynamics between nodes, developers, and miners, etc. Absolutely no clue, and no attempt at a clue.

Such a bad viewpoint doesn't only reflect his old age, but also reflects his inherent ethics at a structural level from inception as a banker. It undermines his entire legacy.

Even on the history of money and its problems in developing countries, Munger would be schooled in a Twitter Spaces by any random above-average bitcoin twitter anonymous account.

It's sad to see.

gm nostr posters. what's everyone up to today? 👀

Im spending around $300+ per month on server costs so I'm burning through my bitcoin pretty fast atm on top of my mortgage and expenses 🥲 need to figure out something soon.

#Nostr 🟣 & #Bitcoin 🟠 not just improves Freedom communications that was previous unknown but unimaginable 🤙

Mind-blowing! #[1]

What if they are? What if they are just trying rn to profit personally as much as possible before their shit collapses or the masses get aware of what is going on? When you look at the current level of blatant corruption this could be not so far fetched.

I believe Nostr will enable way more self-employment and entrepreneurship.

Unscalable businesses, ones that require personal attention have a natural outlet here on Nostr. If you're using a platform to sell your services, you have to pay the platform and your work gets taxed. Building out via word of mouth, SEO and a website is a whole lot of work in of itself.

On Nostr, you can show endorsements. You have a natural network of people you know. There's an easy means of payment. And most importantly, you don't have to pay a tax to a platform. You can grow your own business without being dependent on some platform.
