Dollars are severely mispriced. We are in the phase of the big short film where things start to break but the CDS on the mortgage bonds weren’t reflecting it. It’s coming ⏳

The institutional owners of the coins they custody know the addresses. Any funny business would be detected immediately. I don’t think Brian is trying to share a cell with SBF

Dangerous game. Bitcoin float is not like fiat float

You reckon Coinbase is naked-shorting Bitcoin? Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised, but I don't think they're that retarded.

Explain the manipulation.

Why? People say this all the time, and if I'm being real, I have seen a marked decline in interest by normies in Bitcoin. But maybe I'm missing something

Explain the manipulation.

So far, it looks like 9% CAGR is the lowest 4-year performance for Bitcoin.

The lowest used to be ~25% CAGR.

Are you happy with that, anon?

Its kinda strange when a child hands you your alcoholic beverage.

There will be signs.

PSA: This would be a good day to unfollow me.

If BTC fork occurs and original BTC is lower market cap, can they sell original BTC after 5 years even though the bill also states you can't sell original btc for 20 years?

Are there still places with vibes anymore? Or did the internet kind of kill it?

I feel like digital spaces have vibes. Nostr has a vibe for sure, but everywhere I go (in America at least) feels flat, steril and homogenous now.

People like to pretend otherwise, romanticizing local charm and it’s fun to do so, but in reality there is no meaningful difference between New York, LA, Chicago, Austin, Miami etc…

The differences feel increasingly superficial. Miami with its neon pink and bad Latin art. New York with its identical minimalist cafes selling identical oat lattes. These aren’t cities anymore, they’re brands. “Keep Austin Weird” feels less like the rallying cry of a bohemian collective and more like a safe corporate brand slogan.

It wasn’t always like this. Cities used to incubate true subcultures that couldn’t thrive anywhere else. Seattle once had grunge music emerging organically from local clubs, distinct in sound and attitude. Detroit was a birthplace for techno and industrial grit that couldn’t have been manufactured. New Orleans had jazz clubs and vibrant local traditions that permeated every street corner authentically. Before the internet collapsed distances, you could sense deep authenticity upon arriving somewhere new. The vibe wasn’t something designed by marketing departments; it was organically woven into the streets, the people, the music, and local myths.

Now, vibes feel engineered and commoditized, reduced to Instagrammable moments and easily replicable aesthetics. I once watched from the balcony of my hotel in Nashville as 200 women waited in line to take the same stupid picture with the same stupid set of angel wings.

Digital spaces, ironically, have become refuges of uniqueness, fostering communities unburdened by geographical homogenization. Platforms like nostr host unique niche communities, from hyper-specific gaming bitcoin cultural milieu to obscure philosophical discussions, that retain genuinely distinctive vibes.

Perhaps we’re now entering a strange inversion, where real-world spaces chase digital popularity, adopting blandness to maximize broad appeal.

In this inversion, digital worlds might become the primary spaces where unique vibes survive, thrive, and multiply—leaving our physical world as little more than a flattened reflection of what used to be.

Nostr is where the vibes are at.
