Variety is good but the B is iconic at this point.
What is nostr:npub15xd2mmjnh3caykh77djsv73e0zkrp42jp5mwerx8f4m6su40wdvss7t3l3 ?
It's hard to say.
It's a new kind of social app, that's part NomadList, part Meetup, part Instagram, Google Places and Trip Advisor.
Some might say "this is not a good thing" bc people don't know how to categorise it, which is a fair criticism, but I'd argue, there was also no way to really describe Facebook or Instagram when they first came onto the scene.
Building something NEW requires that you discover what you are along the way. Especially if you're trying to fundamentally transform an industry. If you just want to build another widget or app - sure - it helps to solve a very narrow problem, and position it in a way that's very easy to relate back to something that exists.
But...if your aim is to do something both new, and transformative, you have to push boundaries and build things in a way that makes more intuitive sense, than logical sense.
That being said, it's got to be done in stages, with each stage delivering some form of very clear & precise value.
This week, we'll roll out the first version of Satlantis at nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r which is basically a "City Home Page" derived from social content on Nostr.
Anyone can follow a city, post content about anything in a city, search for & join events, find people in that city, connect with them directly, learn about a city (scores, stats, gallery) and see a dynamic feed with content people are posting on OTHER Nostr apps (if they hashtag the city).
In the coming weeks and months, we'll be rolling out rich user profiles, a feature rich merchant map with some really cool review & content features, and much more.
Stay tuned.
Love the design 🔥
I hope Trump loves bitcoin a little longer than he loved Stormy Daniels.
The Black Keys + Noel Gallagher = Chef’s kiss
The more I ponder our future with AI, the more I come back to this question:
Are we human or are we dancer?
Idea: A t-shirt that says “END THE STIGMA” with no context whatsoever.
Folks, we don’t need tweet threads on Nostr. Let the old world die.
Take the scenic route just because.

Question for my technical friends.
If we somehow got a fork enacting covenants on bitcoin, what’s to stop governments from forcing spending restrictions upon all bitcoin purchased on KYC exchanges in the future?
Not if it’s still there, but the five-story club was wild when I was there a decade ago.
If bitcoin is a religion, it makes sense why we can’t come to an agreement on what it is.
Bitcoin is a mirror. It reflects whatever we seek most and says more about us than itself.
For an engineer, it’s the most beautiful system ever created. For someone struggling to find a sense of purpose, it reflects that and more. For the rest of us, it’s money.
Find someone who will defend you like the influencers defend the power law.
At some point, if we bitcoiners like calling out scams so much, we need to have a conversation about bitcoin mining stocks.
Holy mother of God do these things light money on fire.
The dollar would debase even faster.
