Really true. Have you heard Tristan Harris’ discussion on his podcast your undivided attention about Tik Tok and how likes are an infinite commodity.
Tik tok can influence likes up and down by making slight tweaks to their algorithm in real time. As a result, if you say something that is in the best interest of the powers that be of the ccp and Tik tok your post will get more engagement.
Humans naturally do what gets them more engagement so they are unknowingly nudged into creating content that is in Tik toks best interest.
Scary stuff
I’m not sure that one exists - maybe you could write one?
If a bitcoiner isn’t on nostr, I have to assume he is pro-censorship
Nostr is such a meeting place for all ideas Bitcoin. What a great place to share ideas and knowledge
#Lithium, the Irreplaceable Mineral, a thread.
Lithium is irreplaceable for the high-energy batteries that power electric vehicles. Lithium has a unique position on the periodic table, offering performance that cannot be replicated by other metals.
Lithium's high energy density also means fewer cells and a smaller footprint, which translates to lower costs for both vehicle and grid applications.
Lithium is essential for the energy transition.
It is estimated that a #GreenEconomy with 100% #ElectricVehicle adoption would result in a 30x jump in lithium demand!
As the demand continues to rise, will the world be able to provide the necessary supply of Lithium?
Here are a few of the countries that are leading the charge
1. Chile
Lithium reserves: 9,300,000 MT
Chile was the second biggest producer of lithium in 2022 at 39,000 metric tons. Chile holds most of the world’s “economically extractable” lithium reserves, the Salar de Atacama hosts ~37 percent of the world’s lithium reserve base.
2. Australia
Lithium reserves: 3,800,000 MT
Australia was the largest lithium-producing country in the world in 2022, however it comes in at a distant second in terms of #Lithium reserves.
The Greenbushes open pit mine has been producing lithium since 1985
3. Argentina
Lithium reserves: 2,700,000 MT
Argentina is the fourth largest lithium producer in the world, produced 6,200 MT in 2022.
Chile, Argentina and Bolivia comprise the “Lithium Triangle,” which host more than half of the world’s lithium reserves.
4. China
Lithium reserves: 2,000,000 MT
China holds lithium reserves of 2,000,000 MT, and last year it produced 19,000 MT.
China produces more than two-thirds of the world’s lithium-ion batteries and controls most of the world’s lithium-processing facilities.

Hey , great idea for the nostr direct newsletter, that’s a nice goal and I might have to borrow it
Hey man, good take. It takes time to build up a solid following on nostr to rival a twitter feed but once you do it’s hard to go back. Who’s your favourite person to follow on here so far?
It’s so exciting that all of us have the opportunity to get in at the ground floor of a new social media network like this. The network effects of growing a small following on nostr in 2023 will hopefully grow to become huge a few years from now
Pura Vida and happy SATurday
Does anyone know how to load your private keys from Damus into astral.ninja on the web based nostr client? It will accept my key but doesn’t recognize my account and following
I’m still trying to figure out how zaps work… I guess they don’t work on Damus?
It’s going to be hard for #Bitcoin to “go to zero” with the number of animals out there willing to buy every last one of the 21 million if the price were to drop to a cent - I know they’re out there
History shows it is not possible to insulate yourself from others holding money that is harder than yours
Beneath a Scarlett Sky - world war 2 historical semi-biographical story, takes place in nazi occupied northern Italy. Unbelievable story
Technology is neutral - it can be used for the good and the bad.
For every person sending illicit transactions there is a person using #bitcoin for good to escape authoritarianism
Are you feeling the squeeze of 10% inflation that we have felt over the last year?
Consider the damage that is caused during hyperinflation events.
Take a look at these numbers as a reminder:
Venezuelan bolivar in 2018: 1,700,000 % inflation
Zimbabwe’s peak month of inflation is estimated at 79.6 billion percent month-on-month. Or 89 sextillion% year on year in November 2008
I’m re-listening to Sapiens by Yuval Noah Hariri. Personally it’s one of my favourite non-bitcoin #bitcoin books!!
What’s your favourite book that has nothing to do with bitcoin that has helped formed your understanding or helped you build a frame of reference to begin to understand why Bitcoin just works
