This is so disturbing, and sadly not that surprising.
Lol
Listening to analysts talk about upcoming "bitcoin supply-side liquidity crisis" and then long explanations of what that means
We seem to have lost the simple, intuitive understanding of supply and demand.
I think of this often when I hear how awful farming used to be and that we're so lucky to have machines to help.
Except that with the mechanization of agriculture, we gained the ability to scale food production and lost so much as a society - time outside, connection with our food, families working together, the ability to feed family and community locally to name just a few.
It was very effective, I think. Co-opted the outrage that should have been focused on Wall St and the banks.
Totally agree about the destination weddings!
That's what a honeymoon is for (or if you're REALLY lucky, your new mate says "let's put all that $ into bitcoin and just have a magical week at home").
ugh. I had that once and it can really hurt! Also until you know what it is, kind of scary. I thought I was having a heart attack.
Hope you feel better soon!
Kindly block nostr:npub1fr9sr68p70vwqkk63cd6v4w6pxme4lagvpxuxezka2eqwc0d4dnqpxa7nc and tell them to GFT.
Done! plus the one who posted a reply on here.
uh oh
Also I thought he was not the founder
And - not that it matters to the psychos - but mixing is not actually illegal yet, is it?
I think that's probably about what is happening right now in the fiat world. All the corruption that goes along with unfettered ability to print currency is accelerating and the resulting craziness is creating a lot of interest in freedom tech, in alternate systems of health care, education, etc.
I love the cross-pollination of ideas from one area to another. So much potential for radical insights. Do you use Obsidian?
Right?! that's about my biggest hope for the mess that is DC.
Yikes.
Once you normalize taxing "unrealized" capitalize gains, it's over. Essentially no more personal property.
Also what a perfect situation for the fiat state: print like crazy, cause inflation. Then - look at that! your assets went up in "value" and now you owe us a piece of that.
And ppl will eat it up because it's being introduced as a tax on billionaires.

Thanks for explaining (and for all of your posts on this!).
So what we need as a community is a way to decide which NIPs to freeze (and when)? Probably a huge challenge in decentralized systems!
I wonder if two prominent voices - say, nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft- could lead a convo on this.
I've recently started reading about human swarm intelligence for making decisions. Sounds very promising but I don't yet quite understand how it works. On Substack: https://joshketry.substack.com/p/ask-the-whole-world-a-question-and
or this https://joshketry.substack.com/p/human-swarm-intelligence-the-most
My understanding of tech is zero (negative, maybe) so I tend to stay out of the dev conversation but it's finally starting to dawn on me that these NIP-01 conversations are pretty important.
I'm reading through the nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl notes on this and trying to understand, and Michael's note below makes a lot of sense to me.
So basically if NIP - 01 is forever in draft form, clients built on it in today's version could find themselves in trouble if/when there are changes in the future?
Since specific features can be added in subsequent NIPs, doesn't it make sense to have some of the foundational ones be agreed on and finalized? (is this a bit like leaving btc alone but innovating in layer 2?)

I know nothing about coding, but this makes a lot of sense to me.
A lot of plebs are listening but - speaking for myself now - do not know what to do!
I don't know why an edit feature is at all appealing on Nostr, but it seems like something that some clients could choose to use and others not - but you're saying that editing is being integrated into the Nostr protocol?
