How have you liked Rumble? I think I’ll explore rabbits to at least try.

Best practice to tag asknostr on any questions?

I’m primarily interested just to hear the speakers and make friends in the space

I’ve never been to a #bitcoin conference but interested in Nashville. Not sure if Festival or Industry is the right path to go

🤣

How have the rabbits been? We’re starting with chickens, might get some pigs, but I was considering rabbits as I hear that a lot from homesteaders. Never tried rabbit meat though

Yeah, I’m familiar with it but just need to setup a lightning wallet to contribute to the podcasts I like. I’ve done patreon before but really like the micropayments concept for podcasts I listen to and like rather than auto monthly subscription.

Had not heard of Marty, so I’ll check it out! Still need to get fountain goin as my default podcast listener

True

Fair! I wasn’t sure if you were arguing against Bitcoin or not

Less than a month away from beginning to start producing my own food, which will eventually scale to those in my community. Was just thinking about this last night about these different threads of #bitcoin, #homesteading, and #permaculture all leading me towards fighting back against the same problem.

It does take work. You expend energy to earn fiat to buy bitcoin and to have the conviction to hold on you likely did a lot of work to understand bitcoin. For the first time in a long time, our energy is finally being preserved

Agreed

I’m fully into #bitcoin and don’t bother with altcoins and fiat. Yet I still find it interesting how quickly bitcoiners get defensive and jump on me and assume I haven’t researched Bitcoin when I ask a genuine thoughtful question.

This seems to be a problem across social media though - instead of trying to help educate people, too many people treat them like idiots. I see this across Poker & Bitcoin threads on Twitter and now seeing it on Nostr. Sad.

I understand PoW vs PoS and I’m fully aware of the nodes for decentralizing the ledger. But for mass adoption, it still has to be seen as a potential store of value for more people and if a handful of entities control supply, is that going to lead to resistance? We still need a liquid market at some point

I’ll definitely still be stacking sats, but I try to do my own thinking where possible

Is that a good thing though? I don’t blame him for maximizing shareholder value, but what does that do to the broader scalability longer term? Are there current examples of one individual/entity owning that amount of global currency? I’m just trying to think of how this plays out longer term for mass adoption if one or a handful of individuals control the entire money supply.

🤣

I think the only things that have “intrinsic” value are those things which prolong life (e.g water, food source, sunlight, etc.) and everything else only assumes the value we put in it.

All life wants to preserve energy and thus we assign value to Bitcoin because it preserves our energy for the future without that energy being stolen from us from others.

That’s my take on the whole “intrinsic value” “what’s it backed by” debate

No worries, I will explore some other clients too
