What took you so long?
I was done when they wanted to use everything to train their AI
Nobody buys a cup of coffee with gold

“The natural state of the free market is deflation”
Is a truth that has just really hit home
A naturally observable point
That struck me just now whilst putting IKEA furniture together
- Attempt 1 of shelving unit took a while
- Unit 2 was quicker
- By unit 4 I had a process that was streamlined
Same inputs (labour, raw material), same output (shelving unit), but with superior IP in production
This is a small example of why the trend of deflation is true
- Faster
- Cheaper
- Stronger
Natural outcomes from the attention of intelligence to anything it’s pointed at
It’s something that has been on my mind since listening to nostr:nprofile1qqsg86qcm7lve6jkkr64z4mt8lfe57jsu8vpty6r2qpk37sgtnxevjcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcps7ypf talking with nostr:nprofile1qqsfgg2lg25kxdwg0l9eazq6pwak9wd8j4geuyyu7hua9mmpw6qlvgspzdmhxw309ucnydewxqhrqt338g6rsd3eq9w8wumn8ghj7urjdau8jtnwdaehgu3dwfjkccte9eshqup08p3n2dejxdnryd3sxyenxdpjxv6x2vfexgexgvn98q6ryepkvf3xvv3s8yersvmzxqmnzv3svgekvvtyxvurvd3s8ycn2e33xvmnjvcjv0350 and nostr:npub1qkntvygrrxkc3ynfzw56aq8far9wnxcfjd8d4lfwhnnlnctn4k5sa2d05s recently
It’s so simple
It’s so obvious
But somehow so hard to grasp
Can it really be true that everything gets cheaper forever?
This simple truth will be normal on a Bitcoin standard
But we’ve been warped
Lied to
Miss-lead
Because our status quo measuring stick for value implies everything is getting more expense forever
That horrible feeling when real estate prices just keep getting further out of reach in the area you live in…
It’s not real
It’s fake
You’re being stolen from via the stealth tax of inflation
Wow what an insight to really hit home
On such a simple task
Hundreds of other tasks to complete as we unpack
Cheers to deflation all
Back to work
🙏🏻💪🏻😎
It only works if the money is scarce. I was asking why this (deflation)wasn't the case way back iin college economics. Never got a good answer.
I’m on a bitcoin standard
It was me, but it was a ski mask
I think there are also UX issues that makes Nostr less accessible to people who aren't already used to adopting novel tech (like Bitcoiners and Nostr developers). My observation, if true, makes total sense. But it also makes Nostr feel like a quiet monoculture.
Anyone who doesn't care very deeply about monetary issues or Nostr development will probably be bored here. And it isn't as simple as just spinning up an npub and posting other stuff until we attract people who are deeply interested in that other stuff. I hope nostr:nprofile1qqsr7acdvhf6we9fch94qwhpy0nza36e3tgrtkpku25ppuu80f69kfqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcmuvweu is right and I think most of us here do. It isn't like we're intentionally being exclusive. It's just natural since we all align so well on some base topics. But it's hard to outgrow as well.
As far as novel tech adoption is concerned, I’d say I’m a person that will try things toward the middle of the “early adopters” phase. I am really interested in money, what it is and what it isn’t. I often give 1 on 1’s about it but I don’t usually mention bitcoin I us an old silver dollar. That’s hard enough for most people to wrap their heads around. “How much is that (silver dollar) worth?” “One dollar, but you’re not using dollars you’re using federal reserve notes” Then I bring out my silver certificates and try to get them to understand from there. The silver dollar is still the silver dollar but if they wanted one they’d need $50+ Federal notes… pic tangentially related
Well it’s a good thing that I’m hyperfocused on ₿ at the moment and in a bit of a transition. Despite being in it since like 2013 (and never ever being a shitcoiner) I’m only just now beginning to “get” what it really is. When I first heard about it in 2011, people told me I could “send money over the internet” and I was like “I can do that with paypal right now, I don’t need bitcoin” it took 13 years and getting debanked to learn that I actually did need bitcoin. I wish I’d aped in sooner.
Thank you for that. It’s my first one. I will learn from your example .
Thank you. Figured I’d reach out to you, the CEO 😉.I just finished a podcast you were on with CK and enjoyed listening to your story. I’d heard about it years ago but back then ,(I think) you had to set up a ⚡️ node and a bunch of other things i wasn’t willing to do just for what I thought was “social media”.At least that was my perception. Anyway, thanks for the reply Derek.
Hi Derek. I thought Nostr was supposed to be this thriving community but it seems really quiet. What’s going on here. it’s definitely not as fun for me as 2009 Twitter…however I feel like it should be. What am I doing wrong? How’d you get engagement. How’d you meet people? Did I miss “the wave” and now it’s a platform on life support for people that aren’t public/importing followings?
Just gotta switch your IP address. Some work better than others.
Bitcoin tap to pay is coming, and it feels better than Apple Pay.
