Also as a mathematician, your reply ‘prompted’ me to have a chat with the ai on word choice/certitude ratio:
High Certainty
Yes (100%)
Very Likely (95-97%)
Almost Certain (93-94%)
Moderate Certainty
Highly Likely (90-92%)
Likely (85-89%)
Probably (80-84%)
We Believe (75-79%)
Uncertainty
Chances About Even (50-54%)
Probably Not (45-49%)
We Doubt (40-44%)
Low Certainty
Unlikely (35-39%)
Chances are Slight (30-34%)
Little Chance (25-29%)
Improbable (20-24%)
Very Low Certainty
Highly Unlikely (15-19%)
Almost No Chance (10-14%)
Most people can’t be helped and yes, I think you’re right and they’ll create a paper bitcoin-backed currency like was done with gold. This currency will be used by all who are not actively stacking right now, which is almost everyone. And then, after long enough, some politician will come along a-la-Nixon, take us off the bitcoin standard, and we’ll be back to square one
The whole time I’m reading this I’m thinking ‘I’ve never even seen one entire sentence of this man’s words published, let alone multiple paragraphs’!
You def have to follow people and hashtags and mute the dicks and awful hashtags and your feed will improve really quickly
It breaks apart the shitty little rafts their psyche’s are floating on and forces them into the wet water of reality. Better to leave them there on their rafts until they’re curious enough about what the water is like, and only then should you forcefully feed them the truth.
I haven’t noticed if that made any difference. I’m playing with Primal too, but Damus just seems easier to find things in
Ok I will work to adopt this attitude. I feel a very strong pull to lift the veil and combine my public, real world accomplishments with my private involvement in bitcoin here on nostr because I’ve finally found my tribe! I’ve written about cryptography for over 20 years, but have never publicly mentioned bitcoin since its inception or the insane-sounding changes I’m certain it will bring. I wonder how many here started out anon, but then setup an identity as themREALselves after meeting everyone
This happens to me on Damus. I figure it’s a bug that’ll ironed out soon enough
I’m thinking this is the way, but it makes me feel a little inauthentic.
Nice. Good to officially meet you, Mr. Reply! At least on nostr you can get paid for it unlike Reddit where you get meaningless updoots
#gm nostr I want to #asknostr about their main identities. I’m too chicken shit to join as myREALself at this point, although it would increase my credibility tenfold as a published author on cryptography, because I fear combining my real identity, which already exists online elsewhere, with my nostr activity because I have always wanted to keep my bitcoin involvement separate from the real me online to avoid any unwanted attention, or home invasions. I’m so impressed & empowered to see folks being their real selves, but then I wonder if there’s any real benefit. Do you keep multiple identities for different moods, do you just have one? is it your real name? Thoughts?
I’ve seen at least 5 different accounts of his here inviting me to click fancy URLs
I don’t think “the exchanges” are all equal, so some yes, some no
