okay, where are the interested users?
If I was zapped each time I care about inflation I'd have tens of thousands of zaps by now.
Guys I care about inflation so much, please give this note a like
yes, don't do it

How many hundreds of times have you expressed this shocking idea since your podcast started?
In case anyone is still confused about nuts or what it means and why we always talk about it (me today haha), here is my know-nothing dummy explanation and why this is a big deal IMO:
Cashu is an ecash protocol(is this correct?) created by nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg
People are calling them nuts because cashews are nuts... get it?
The terminology is irrelevant. They can be called tokens, air, water, chicken teriyaki.. it really doesn't matter! What matter is that this is a Layer 3 payment system that transfers tokens at the speed of light (or so I think). Lightning being layer 2, and bitcoin being layer 1.
The reason why this is a significant development is because now everyone has a cashu address. Thanks to amazing work by the legendary nostr:npub1mhcr4j594hsrnen594d7700n2t03n8gdx83zhxzculk6sh9nhwlq7uc226 , if you go to npub.cash you can see that you already have an address to receive these layer 3 tokens, which just happen to be easily redeemable into lightning. This means that any new person who joins nostr automatically has (custodial) layer 3 payment access, which can swap into layer 2 and into layer 1 and into fiat if need be.
I don't know any of the underlying mechanics of this, I am not a genius like nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg and what I have described could be incorrect, but it sure feels like this is roughly how things work.
Nuts are custodial, meaning a mint is holding your balance and can look up your npub to see if you have some. Once called upon, these nuts can be sent to another nutter (cashu wallet) or directly to a lightning address! This interoperability makes everyone a layer 2 user. All we need is a clever UX toggle / button / terminology to make it really obvious.
IF this were to be turned into a library that devs could include in their client code and "it just works", THEN it could be a game changer! No more directing people on how to get a wallet right as they join. They can experience the magic of bitcoin indirectly via layer 3 > layer 2 transfer all without knowing anything (as long as they can get on nostr).
In practice, this means anyone joining an audio nest, a zapstream, a flare.pub can automatically get paid. Yes, it's just tokens, and yes it's centralized and custodial, BUT, they see the value instantly and are only a click away from digging deeper. It's a STEPPING STONE that makes it significantly easier to get onboarded into the new paradigm.
I have not been this excited since the discovery of nostr itself! If I'm mistaken somehow, or don't understand things correctly, please let me know and forgive my dumbass 🤣 And if this means what I think it means, then let's make magic happen!
LAYER 3 MENTIONED

"If the government can print unlimited amounts of money out of thin air, why do they collect taxes? The real problem is that you pay high taxes only to uphold the *illusion* that you are funding the government, which you are not. The government is funded by money printing.” — President Nayib Bukele https://v.nostr.build/KReg.mp4
because inflation is also a tax, next question

Great that you understand this much. I don't care about motives though, he's part of the problem now and he won't end up well, not after all that has happened.
I cannot imagine what you are going through right now Anton.
Buut I am not sure if Assange is allowed to have russian cock right now.
Maybe nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 can elaborate why he chose Russia.
I guess it's less about his cocksucking preferences and more about every other country being scared...
There is no more snowden, it's an empty shell which is only allowed to do privacy concerns and feed you lowkey russian propaganda, or else he's toast.
Btw fuck assange and the rest of these russian cocksuckers like snowden and a like.
much obliged.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA
Come over to Ukraine, we'll find you a great storm brigade.
I support Ukraine strikes at russian nuclear plants if Ukraine's existence becomes critically endangered, I support Ukraine getting nuclear weapons back and will all I can to make that happen.

Once upon a time, in the bustling tech hub of Silicon Valley, lived a software engineer named Alex. Alex had a passion for technology and innovation, constantly seeking new challenges and opportunities to expand his skills. Despite his dedication, Alex found himself stuck in a monotonous job, coding day in and day out without much room for creativity or growth. He dreamt of making a significant impact, creating something that would change the world, but he didn't know where to start.
One evening, while attending a local tech meetup, Alex overheard a conversation about Bitcoin. Intrigued, he decided to delve deeper into the world of cryptocurrencies. He spent nights and weekends researching blockchain technology, understanding the principles behind decentralized finance, and the potential it had to revolutionize the financial industry.
With a newfound zeal, Alex started to experiment. He began mining Bitcoin in the early days when it was still possible to do so with a regular computer. As he mined, he also invested small amounts of his savings into Bitcoin, believing in its potential despite the skepticism from his peers and the volatility of the market.
Years passed, and the tech industry continued to evolve rapidly. Blockchain technology gained recognition, and cryptocurrencies became a hot topic. Meanwhile, Alex's investments in Bitcoin grew exponentially. He witnessed the highs and lows, the bubbles and crashes, yet he remained steadfast, convinced of Bitcoin's underlying value and the technology supporting it.
Through his journey with Bitcoin, Alex learned the importance of innovation, resilience, and vision. He realized that true breakthroughs often come from challenging the status quo and daring to believe in something before it becomes mainstream. His experience with Bitcoin not only transformed his financial situation but also inspired him to pursue his dreams of innovation. He eventually left his job to start his own company, focusing on blockchain applications.
The moral of Alex's story is twofold. First, it highlights the significance of staying ahead of the curve, embracing new technologies, and being open to unconventional paths that may lead to success. Bitcoin, in this case, serves as a symbol of innovation and the potential rewards of early adoption and belief in one's convictions. Second, it underscores the importance of perseverance and resilience in the face of skepticism and volatility. Just like the Bitcoin market, life is full of ups and downs, but steadfastness and belief in one's vision can lead to unprecedented outcomes.
