Hear ya. I'm just sitting here watching the Yen devalue, day after day, month after month. Their Healthcare system may be better focused, but the country is economically sick, getting weaker and poorer. How long before Dr. Yellen needs to administer another big, fat dose of swap line?
Just because you choose to mostly post this personal fluff on Nostr (and presumably provide more substantitive macro content in walled gardens of X and Princeton, and with leeches like McCormack, etc) please don't assume this helps your brand or furthers your cause, or that you've accurately identified the Nostr segment for purposes of your marketing.

Then...think how the incentive structure of all these people allocates resource, and how it compounds through time, and across all society.
Then...think of the price of #bitcoin.
Then...stay humble, and stack sats.
If Elon is agreeing to reduced X usage in exchange for higher satellite and car sales at different companies controlled by him, it sounds like he is self-dealing and not acting in the best interests of X. If I was an investor in X, who was told it was going to be a free speech platform, I could have grounds for a lawsuit.
Love that this rabbit hole has rabbit holes.
Blackrock is building a platform for their plan to tokenize everything, I suspect. 👀🤔
You mean Txitter censors people? Huh. 🤣🤣 It sure is nice to breath the freedom air on nostr!
Also, try not to shame or ridicule to those that don't get it or cannot get it. We often can't make the situation better, but we can always make it worse.
