Finally some time to update my travel footage nostr:npub105em547c5m5gdxslr4fp2f29jav54sxml6cpk6gda7xyvxuzmv6s84a642 📸 #photography find it also all on Olas #Olas365 nostr:note1wkaavh2g6shpwmjzkm34uf7q50k2w42erssy6jj2f3nn4p5gsfgs885whk
Is that "bugi," "buni," or "bumi"? Or maybe "boon gi"? The second symbol has two consonants and confuses me.
I always thought the only way to dethrone the tax hogs was to ditch the dollar and establish Bitcoin as the new world reserve. I never thought we could begin the work of emancipating the American taxpayer from within the government.
It's still a good idea to take from them the power to print "money," though, and use bitcoin instead.
Defund the machine!
This is literally another internet 🤙 I always thought this would eventually be how Nostr works!
I have a premium access Nostr plan I could sell you if you're interested. Only 1BTC/mo!
For me, it would be payment processing. You simply have to be faster than the competitor systems, and then again faster than your reported speed. If the velocity of the system is high enough, you get to use some of the money that's caught in the system in-transit, depending on payment latency, and especially if one is able to delay remittance for what on the surface are legitimate reasons. Plus, if you play your cards right, you get to leave clean when you fulfill all legal payments.
I imagine this is how services like PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, etc. are able to not charge fees on intra-service transactions, since they maintain control of the funds.
Would it at least be possible that it's a good way to kick start plastic recycling. What we call recycling now is an absolute joke. The only things right now that are actually recyclable are metals.
This is how we reduce our landfills and convert it all from useless toxins to useful raw material 👌 just gotta train some shrooms on it!
Awesome 👌 what framework(s) will you be working in?
Sounds really cool! I'd be quite interested if I wasn't already too busy with the day job and family.
I'm going to a conference in July at which there will be a ton of creators, mostly YouTubers and podcasters. I'm hoping to get a few of them to start up on Nostr. It's a tight niche, but that means they all know each other. Might be a nice wave.
BCH is the real bitcoin! /s
Excellent sentence from #mattewKratter:
"There's nothing American about the US dollar."
Dude, the pace is enormous! Plus, it's setting precedent that this president means business. I am quite hopeful.
We're only wrapping up week three. USAID is a useful XP building side quest that prepares us for the endgame boss battle.
Add it stands, if the world started using bitcoin today, it would be multiple decades between transactions per person. That's not enough throughput. The small block position wasn't "1MB forever." Have you read the book?
The reason for the "1MB forever" position is a result of needing to protect Bitcoin, not because it's the best blocksize. Why not halve the blocks and say 512kB? If smaller is better, than why not just a header? You need transaction throughput, and the war was not over the exact size but the pace of change, game theory and incentives, the role of user nodes, and the rules about updates.
I use LLMs to accelerate what I already intended and to learn new languages.
Not so directly as this, but I do find it terribly arrogant that a government would presume it has a right to a greater portion of our incomes than God commanded people offer to the priesthood (tithing, etc).
