Indeed. Also is that a question?

I'm going to have to give FreeCAD a try -- does it keep a timeline where to can go back and make changes to previous design choices?

Some days I get so bullish I could run through a wall. Or maybe that’s the excessive amount of coffee. Either way, I’m pumped.

#Bitcoin + #nostr, baby.

Agree

Tbh… having someone like Kennedy speak at the biggest conference is not good for western Bitcoin adoption.

The farther from mainstream the proponent, the more slowly the general population will recognize the value of Bitcoin, and the more skeptical they will be.

Does it matter? Dunno.

Does everyone get Bitcoin “at the price they deserve”? Maybe.

Should developing countries get more of a head start in the meantime? Definitely.

Nonetheless, having someone who is widely regarded as a fringe conspiracy theorist be a spokesperson for Bitcoin isn’t doing anyone any favors. My two sats…

Today I was asked: "What do you understand by the mean of origin of money?"

Two years ago I probably couldn't answer to this question. I basically didn't know what money is.

When you start asking yourself that, and dive into it, it's much easier to understand Why #Bitcoin.

Anyway my answer today was this:

Money is just a tool created to easily interact with each other and exchange value based on a settled general consensus. With the evolution of technology also that tool was developed and it transformed from stones, to shells, to salt or other fondamental goods and then to preciuos metals or minerals. The goal is always the same, to find a tool that could have these main properties:

Medium of exchange, unit of account, scarcity, store of value.

The main goal money has and should have IMO is to store our time-work and the excess of it, into a tool that can't be debased or inflated by a third party, and that permits me to have full control and be a self sovereign individual.

Hope to have a more articulate and better answer in two years from now. Never stop learning. Pura vida.

Nostr feels a lot like the internet was originally intended to work, and in some ways feels very reminiscent of various parts of the early internet experience.

However I do feel some significant differences between nostr and the early internet.

1. A lot of the users on nostr are middle-aged. I don't recall many middle-aged people at all being involved in the early internet days. Indeed, many boomers still aren't very tech savvy, and it's been a quarter of a century.

2. This time we know what we are doing. In 1997, the internet existed, but nobody quite knew what to do with it. Sure, there were a few visionaries, but more than anything, there was some combination of dismissiveness, confusion, and fear of missing out, and then the dot com bubble burst, and we still didn't really know what we were doing or what would be possible.

3. This time we have Bitcoin and Lightning enabling even micropayments.

4. This time we have near total internet and device access by most countries at all times around the world. That is to say, the physical infrastructure is already universal. Many of us were still dialing in to the internet in the mid-2000s and even well beyond over a landline phone, sometimes on business computers because we didn't have one at home.

+What did I miss? Help me out, and let's talk about it in the comments!

Can anyone explain to me the difference between money and capital.

Will compensate with sats if a fellow pleb can help me to comprehend the difference.
