What I’m saying #[0]​ is that doing what I’m doing right here makes it obvious that I’m talking past you instead of to you, because rather than feeling confident in myself I need to appeal to my followers for validation. If it was merely about helping others see an interesting conversation then I could just repost, and continue replying in the actual conversation thread.

TFW a two-week long hellthread finally starts dying down and you get tagged in a fresh new one

For what purpose does the conversation need more visibility than to those who are involved in it? It forks the conversation and makes it harder for people to follow. It’s begging for attention.

So many of you have asked me about my skin care routine

Good morning! Pura vida. Today's the last day of Nostrica. 😭 If you're here and we haven't met yet, please come say hello. 🫂

Wish I'd have been as early to Bitcoin as I was to nostr.

LOL – phenomenal URL.

Yeah sorry I'm just asking what this means. Not heard of it.

I’m not sure it is though. My understanding of the base case for “most” bitcoiners is that bitcoin goes up cause Fiat becomes more worthless and in dollar terms this is correct. As the denominator decreases the ratio increases. But I’m beginning to think that human psychology actually has an influence on the price. The longer Bitcoin is around the stronger the case it makes for itself hence greater adoption in general. Variances in external factors and views individually can trigger lower market moves collectively which is more likely in a free market as opposed to the shit show that is the stock market. I guess I’m trying to say that Bitcoin is actually independent of everything except perception of itself. Maybe I haven’t gotten this till now and am playing catch up in public?

So been thinking about this a lot.. Bitcoin performs like a tech stock and is correlated to S&P tightly according to big brained. We saw this in 2020-2022. It pumps when there is money entering the system. When people receive stinky cheques etc. nothing more that a speculative asset pump by degens.

But Bitcoin also pumps when they quantitively tighten… like the last 3 or so months. When they pull money out of the system to reset the damage done by printing and in turn do more damage Bitcoin pumps.

So either Bitcoin pumps when ever fiater’s destroy their own system (very regularly), or Bitcoin is in a forever upward trend with pullbacks now and again due to the natural ebb and flow of adoption.

Is it possible that the correlation and similarities to anything in the Fiat world is illusionary and momentary?

I’m beginning to think so.
