Reply guy really has #introductions and other tags completely flooded with spam right now lol

welcome! I find that interacting, asking questions and using hashtags is a good way to have a positive nostr experience

Replying to 189e685a...

gm nostr! I'm here from Tiktok by creating an account through https://program-ai.app so I can learn how to code with AI. Looking forward to meeting folks in the cypherpunk community! #introductions #LearnWithNostr

GM and welcome to nostr

I don’t like taxes, I don’t wish to comply, but it’s impossible to subvert the state by refusing to pay cap gains taxes on KYC bitcoin. Non KYC when used p2p would be different - like cash, absurd to try to enforce taxes on it. So I think getting some nonKYC is a better first step - privacy from the get go, use like cash p2p, reporting “cap gains” is up to you

18% cap gains on my KYC BTC making 1000+% gains in a hyperinflation scenario is still a huge net profit, should I take it (probably won’t). Cap gains are the cost of using kyc btc

There is *some* privacy on the base layer of bitcoin as you know. Base layer privacy can’t be complete - tradeoff for ability to audit entire blockchain. Current layer 2/3s are working on better privacy

I take it you are a monero maxi, which is cool, we bitcoiners have a lot in common with you. I do plan to learn more about monero, I just don’t see how the game theory plays out - I expect returns on BTC to vastly outpace XMR, and I don’t see the state embracing a “privacy currency”. I do use BTC primarily as store of value, even if the parasitic US gov is leeching value from cap gains, while it matures to a point where ppl wanna use it as med of exchange. I’m fine with waiting for better L2 privacy solutions to arrive for bitcoin while I hodl.

I want to love monero. I’ll learn more about it. Also I really am god, that’s not just my username

I don’t like taxes but I’ll pay them, the goal is to store value, not avoid taxes. There is definitely risk from state suppression of self custody, which only works with KYC. More plebs should acquire nonKYC BTC to hedge against this and eventually spend p2p. KYC from exchanges sucks, it’s too bad that’s currently the model that everyone complies with.

First post from https://sebastix.social/ I created this npub to share my Honda Civic hobby. This is my first car I got when I was 18 years old. It's far from stock, you can see all the modifications on https://hondacivic.sebastix.com. 🏎️

welcome! Beautiful car and website.

Another thing, I’m seeing accounts pop up that are posting copyrighted media (films). Does nostr challenge the idea/model of a copyright, or make it moot? Are these accounts acting unethically? Soon, will pretty much anything that can be digitized become available for free on nostr somewhere? If so, how are creators/artists going to get paid? Can we really expect ppl to provide value for value? If you don’t give a shit, are you democratic or cynical?

I can’t stop considering this point since I was lucky enough to read it. Nostr devs: are we making room for reflection as we churn out cutting edge tech? We can be bullish (and I fucking am) on nostr but still self-critical and philosophical. What IS the entity we are creating here? How much pause should we take, or give?

It’s 100x harder than it looks. Skateboarders are like a hidden class of mages or something. It took me 3 months just to ollie, which translates to “jump over something while moving”. I never realized how gritty you have to be to be a skateboarder
