There are more Republicans who derve to be here...

Reminder: If you are excited by the #ETFs and #Blackrock pumping your bags...

Don't fool yourself, you don't understand #Bitcoin, if you did you would know there is nothing to be excited about regarding this, given that:

1. If they get approved they will hoard Bitcoin, probably keep buying on the future and reducing the available supply, to which you might think "Muh Bags r PumPinG we Going to Da Moun Bruh 🚀🌕".

But NO! bc Bitcoin is designed to bring freedom, and that freedom is limited to 21 million, and if you sell for an ever depreciating token you may find yourself in the future prisoner of that fiat token, you might have more numbers but in the end what matters is purchasing power (if not ask to Venezuelans or Argentinians),if you feel fucked or something happen in your country, you may need to leave, and when you need that freedom to cross borders it will be hard to get it, there is no supply bro, funds keep buying it all and they ain't selling it.

2. The network doesn't give a crap, it will keep doing it's thing, generating and validating blocks, nothing has changed... This is the only thing that should keep you excited, a simple and elegant machine that moves independently, trustlessly and with resiliency, nothing can stop it, no war, no cohersion, no government, not even YOU or your enemies.

Think about it, it's like getting excited for someone scamming you, exchanging your gold for mirrors.

IYKWIM.

Lnp2p people are crazy now selling their #Bitcoin at a ~7% premium 😂

WTF, wonder how much is the fear and greed index already...

Seemingly a lot of Bitcoiners who were previously whining about #Blackrock, #Vanguard, and other corpos owning everything, houses, pharma, etc.

Are now rooting for them to get the ETF approved so they can get their bags pumped and give away all their #Bitcoin so they can own it all.

Hypocrites!!!

what i don't understand is, why can't we just use the existing LNURL spec nostr:npub18m4nmc2wchzgcmzvnluqjzxyrpshp64mwje2vuz60kulny3v6c0qtgcl2x ? we're using it every day here on Nostr. it works quite well. there's no need to confuse people with a new standard.

And even less if it's "compliant"

Personally I wouldn't wear Bitcoin apparel at least with something like the Bitcoin logo.

I would use something more subtle but easy enough to identify to another Bitcoiner.

This to reduce the probability of being seen as a potentially target for a $5 wrench attack or something else.

I still find fascinating that I can have my own #lightning node in home, then pair it with nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 and thanks to Tor network I can access it from anywhere to make payments.

Just started mine this week and I couldn't be prouder haha, I can help you to make it faster (at no cost obviously) as it took me a lot of time to figure things out and just realized it is easier than I thought initially.

Personally felt it was a headache because there are things no one explains to you, it's like when talking about lightning people just assume you know everything beforehand and there are a couple of things to take into consideration.

Thanks to some analysis from our intern nostr:npub17plqkxhsv66g8quxxc9p5t9mxazzn20m426exqnl8lxnh5a4cdns7jezx0 , according to opt-in AppStore analytics one of the biggest issues with Damus is user retention. 99% of people stop using damus after 6 months.

In the next version we will be looking at ways to get mores users to that “ah ha” moment that gets them to stick around like all of us addicts.

Ideas welcome! Notifications is obviously a big one, but maybe we could make it easier to get people their first sats.

Daily sats for discovering certain features of the app daily, obviously this tied to the apple ID not the nsec, this in order to avoid abuse.

Doing so just for posts and reposts would mean an increase of SPAM on Nostr which is not ideal, instead if they post with a certain # we as community could start onboarding them and sneding them sats depending on activity.

It doesn't happen to you that every time you go on Twitter, you end up leaving with the feeling of wanting to punch at least one person straight in the face?

Holy shit thank you for this, I hate the reddit app. 😁

I hope people on Nostr were as energetic to speak about implementing #Bitcoin #Privacy solutions with the same level of conviction which they have when they talk about the security and privacy of their Nostr DMs.

I feel #Bitcoin has given me so much that the least that I can do for the protocol is to run a node that ensures it's security and resiliency in the long run.

It's not for me, as I don't use it 99.9% of the time, it just do it's thing and the cost to keep it running yearly is negligible.
