No "rewards" though.

The price is fake, the polls are fake, the markets are fake.

Alternative POV: your permanent *speech* record is unimportant. Speech is not action, and there’s nothing you could say on nostr that isn’t protected by the First Amendment.

But what about the UK, or even the US apparatchiks like Tim Walz who want to criminalize dissent as “misinformation?” Surely it’s dangerous to say things on nostr that might one day be connected to your real life identity?

No it is not. If some communist is going to get you for saying Kamala Harris is a moron, then they will get you for anything or nothing at all. The day I can be arrested for my nostr posts, the answer will not be to hide in anonymity and hope someone else — someone dumb enough to attach his real identity or unlucky enough to have his keys compromised — gets got instead.

I really don’t like the ethos of: “Oh no, I can’t pretend I didn’t say what I said!”

How about:

"I said what I fucking said because I earnestly believed it at the time, and I either stand by it now or I realize I was in error and I no longer stand by it, though it was said in earnest, and it was an honest mistake."

The people who are worried they’ll be arrested for free speech don’t really believe in free speech. The people who will only say what they truly believe anonymously don’t really believe in free speech.

They believe one *should* have the right to free speech in an ideal society, but in the present one it doesn’t exist and therefore they won’t avail themselves of it.

But your rights don’t come from society. They come from nature, God, the Tao, whatever.

If you believe in free speech, you use it. And yes, I get it, if you’re in North Korea, you wouldn’t, and that’s fine. But if you’re intimidated by speaking the truth because you might get found out, God forbid, for earnestly expressing yourself by the UK loser police, you are not really for free speech. Not when it has even a small risk, a small cost.

So if you want free speech to exist, speak freely, stop fomenting fear, have courage.

Sorry, not meaning to pick on this particular npub — this is a common theme on this otherwise based protocol.

Went for my Monday run. It includes some sprints.

When you’re 53 and in the habit, it’s not the sprinting that’s hard, it’s the sprinting for 100 meters.

You get to 30 or 40 at full speed, and you feel good. But around 50 or 60, you’re like “fuck, I have to keep this going for a lot longer.”

And it’s not like Usain Bolt knocking it out in under 10 seconds. This takes a full 15 seconds.

But as you walk home from the track, you realize you had to do it.

There was no other way out of the mind and into reality.

One thing financial analysts tend to discount, is how much fiscal deficits feed into nominal GDP growth. It's a recursive destruction of the denominator that masks the issue.

For example Argentina's deficit as a share of GDP historically hasn't been that big, but that's because their large deficit inflates the denominator and brings nominal GDP up at a fast rate. The deficit relative to the GDP from a year or two ago, was indeed a big ratio, but not the deficit relative to the GDP in the year it happens.

Similarly, some financial analysts looked at the 1940s USA and saw that the Fed's purchases of Treasuries to fund the war deficit weren't that big of a share of GDP in any given yea. But my counter was, nominal GDP increased massively, due to the huge deficits and monetary base expansions. After a few years, the amount of Treasuries the Fed had purchased relative to the GDP of three years ago... was huge.

Dear Nostr users, would the ability to send and receive zaps via Liquid be of interest?

We're currently discussing with Amethyst devs on ways to make this possible.

Let us know in the comments! ⚡️🌊nostr:note1w7402qa6eghyd8r2qpwj5pue4a2gxp74ezgdsx2q36s509v9kv9qgcvfcm

I’m just trying to understand the pros/cons vs. Fedimint. For both backends I’d be ok to trust the federation to store 100 dollars worth of spending money if I get decent privacy in return.

Another question… why is no wallet using Liquid instead of Coinjoin for privacy? I’m aware of the trust trade-off, but it seems like a workable solution for a spending wallet. At least until Fedimint has all the bugs ironed out and we’ve figured out a good onboarding UX to select a default mint. nostr:note133ld36tn30nqpk7qclwlsq4m5e5at4l4n094f0szhl347hl46fzqp7vry3
