I love seeing these photos! Thank you 🙏
If I'm understanding you - and maybe I'm not - I don't think positivity will necessarily prevail overall in Nostr, but I think anyone who wants it to prevail in their feed can do that.
I need to find an appropriate reaction to posts like this. Non-techy people probably know exactly what I mean.
Something that combines
omg!! so exciting! 🤩
+ I don't really know what this means but I have a vague sense that it could be huge and important

Yes, it will have such behavior, but it won't *incentivize* such behavior - which I hope will make a huge difference!
Personally I don't just zap posts that make me smile; I also zap the ones that make me think and ones that deepen/broaden my understanding of something.
Blue messages and plans aren't great either ☹️
awful, but inevitable
assuming the network grows, the tent will expand and lots of grifters will be drawn to it
of the three, he's the only one who has truly grappled with regulatory capture and its implications, and by extension the importance of freedom of speech and transaction.
I wish he weren't proposing more government to fix it ☹️
haha! it's all theater, but sometimes it's pretty entertaining theater
ugh. I'm sorry to hear this! Though it may be because those who would be cheering most loudly for freeing Ross are not drawn to large conventions.
In any case, I think it's inevitable that if Bitcoin does what we all hope it will do, it will begin to attract more and more folks who are outside of the ethos that brought many of us to it in the first place.
Dom, check this out as well: https://primal.net/e/note1lv77g2ttesatgd4vz0gx3xr8hvjz3l48gmmx4pz0k49hdpmxrvpsveq5kl
yeah
Partisanship in general is quite the drug, but TDS takes it all to a new level.
I'm not sure! But if you do a search for both on here, you might find a good range of opinions that can give you more information.
It sounds like nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx was involved in some way in helping them build it, so you can also look for his post on that. The comments might have some good questions/suggestions.
Hi, Dom! I don't know much about their new wallet, but generally speaking - if you're not particularly worried about privacy, a wallet like Proton is probably an ok place to keep some sats.
If you're building your savings in bitcoin (and you should build some savings in bitcoin as soon as you're able!), it's best to take the time to do research on wallets. A hardware wallet is a device that you use to access your bitcoin, and a "cold" wallet is one that doesn't touch the internet, so your private keys are not in danger of being compromised online.
If you haven't seen them yet, I would take a look at nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 YT videos. He has really great tutorials on many wallets.
I don't think anyone questions that fascism is different from socialism.
It seems to me that we need a new name for the what's happening now, whereby the power of the state is used to support but is also subsumed into (global) corporate interests. I think Mussolini's idea was govt taking control of communications, industry, etc and there's certainly been plenty of that (Biden admin actions on social media companies as just one example) but the incredible lobbying power of private interests so that corporations essentially take over the govt - that's, what, corporatism? And Trump - rhetoric notwithstanding -seems as willing to go in that direction as Biden has been.
