damn

solid idea

try them on 🫡

I came across a "deleted account" in my follows, someone who started on nostr over a year ago but gave up just recently. In their last post they said they'd genuinely tried but it just wasn't working out for them. However, when I checked their stats on nostr.band the results were unsurprising. They were not actively using nostr. They posted maybe 1 note a day avg., never zapped anyone (publicly at least), and only followed ~200 accounts. That is not "genuinely trying" to use any social network, including nostr. You get out what you put in with most things in life, and nostr is no different. It's ok to be a passive lurker, but if that's all you put in then you probably won't get much out of it. If you want to find depth of experience here, be present and active, and engage with people in meaningful ways using the features of the network that allow you to do so. You will make or break your own #nostr experience.

Are we all still UTC maximalists? Just checking

In 1971, President Richard Nixon temporarily suspended the gold standard. Facing financial strain from the Vietnam War and other expenses, he unpegged the US dollar from #gold. This move allowed unlimited money creation but severed the link between currency and tangible assets.

Governments often resemble children in a candy store. When they need funds, they print more money—like a child demanding sweets. However, this short-term gratification can lead to long-term consequences, including inflation, debt, and economic instability.

Fiat currency lacks the stability and intrinsic value of sound money. As we navigate the complexities of modern finance, understanding these principles can empower us to advocate for a more sustainable monetary system—one that serves the entire economy without burdening future generations.

Remember, sound money isn’t just about economics; it’s about safeguarding our prosperity.

By the way, did you know that the current US debt clock shows $34.5 trillion, marking a new high? And what do you think, will the current socialist government return to sound money principles by tomorrow and start paying off all debt? 💸
