I agree to that. It is a useful temporary tool while waiting for global BTC adoption.
I've been through this debate too many times. I'm from bsas, aka, The Third world. Third-worlders will escape CBDCs using stablecoins, not Bitcoin. Bitcoin can lose 20%-40% in one week, and loosing that amount in a single week would mean going broke and no food for your children here.
USDStablecoins? In one week, in a superb crisis, maybe they lose 1-3% max value. And that is ok for us thirdworlders, we can handle 1-3% loss of all of our value in a week (Those are rookie numbers btw, we'd had worse).
If you don't get it, come sell bananas in my country. You'll get it. Don't "El-Salvador"-me, Maria who makes Licuados at the beach, saves in USDT for her weekly Licuados-business expenses.
Bitcoin IS king, and will win, just not yet. Green groceries can't use it for saving in one-week terms. They can't buy bananas for next week in a crisis and will lose their business by adopting 100% btc. When the volatility of BTC is reduced to +/-3% max in a superb crisis in a period of one week, that is when stablecoins will no longer be needed.
First world Maxis have to start understanding that us, thirdworlders, we did not have the technology in our lives to save in a more stable currency for short and medium periods of time, and now we do have that with stablecoins.
I am open to more discussion, change my mind and learn. Give me a good excuse and tools to convince my friend who sells bananas and tomatoes for a living to go full100% btc for short term savings and for his business, and I promise I will go with him and let him know he can start using it 100%. I don't think that is possible, not yet.
Most maxis live in the first world and forget that shit can be useful in the Third-World in the form of stablecoins. (fucking autocorrector)

Bit coining culture will also prevent a growth or reusability at some point, just like what happened with gab. Maybe the future is not "one app to rule them all". But one protocol for each culture, and cultural bubbles intensifies.
Before you go more extreme regarding this African-american, remember he is against a world government and in favor of governship decentralization. So he can be that bad, just a little bit bad. There are worse out there, much worse.
Going out for 🥩🍷 tonight and it’s got me excited.
When I get back from dinner (in ~3.5h), I’ll give away 5+ (depending on how much 🍷) 18888⚡️ entries to the https://nostr.wine paid relay. This includes access to our filter relay (learn more here: https://filter.nostr.wine).
Here’s how to enter:

That’s it. You don’t even have to be here for the drawing. If you win I’ll pay your entry directly and let you know! This is ONLY open to users who are not yet on nostr.wine 🤙

Maybe there should be an option to give a valued like, that cost only 1 sat. The emoji would be heart & a lightening {🗲❤️🗲}
# ⚡️ Nostr zaps - a guide 💜
Time to get you zappin' with LightningTipBot (https://ln.tips). This is my personal setup. There are other ways and services to do this. Do you own research. This is just a suggestion.
## 1) Set up LightningTipBot wallet
- Click here: https://LN.tips 👈
- You're done.
## 2) Sending zaps
Let's start with sending. You don't need much. Any Lightning wallet will do. I will describe how to use LightningTipBot to zap with.
### Sending zaps in the browser
- Get the Alby brower extension at https://getalby.com/
- Go to LightningTipBot and enter "/link"
- Copy the details and go to Alby and add a new "LNDHUB" wallet
- Enter your details
- Your LightningTipBot wallet can now be controlled from your browser
- Click on the ⚡️ zap icon for example in iris.to and you'll be able to send zaps.
### Sending zaps on mobile
- You can also "/link" your wallet to BlueWallet
- Get BlueWallet from the App store
- Import a new Lightning wallet
- Enter your credentials from LightningTipBot
- You can now control your LightningTipBot wallet from Bluewallet
- Click the ⚡️ zap icon for example in Amethyst or Damus and open BlueWallet.
- Pay and zap on
## 3) Receiving zaps
You can receive zaps with pretty much any Lightning address provider. There are many options. See: https://lightningaddress.com/
However, if you want the zaps to appear under your posts in Damus or Snort.social, you'll have a few less options (still). Here is how to do it with LightningTipBot:
- Go to LightningTipBot. Enter "/help" if you don't know your Lightning address.
- See your address? Mine is callebtc@ln.tips
- Optional: Enter "/advanced" to get an anonymous address if you don't want to doxx your Telegram username.
- Put your Lightning address into your nostr profile
- In LightningTipBot, register your nostr pubkey with "/nostr add
- You're done! You'll receive zaps and they will be shown under your zapped posts!
## 3) NIP-57 support
Zaps (those which appear under a note) are formalized in NIP-57. Currently, they are supported by the following services. This is probably not a complete list and tomorrow there might be even more:
### 💜 Sending (Nostr clients):
- Snort.social (https://snort.social/)
- Damus (http://damus.io/)
### ⚡️ Receiving (Lightning wallets):
- LightningTipBot (https://LN.tips)
- VIDA (https://vida.live/)
- Stacker.news (https://stacker.news/)
- strike.army (https://strike.army/)
