Shout out to #[1]​ for putting me onto the Block Screen widget 😍

Which Bitcoin conferences are happening this year from what you hear on Nostr?

Question: what do y’all use for default #zap amount and have you raised, lowered, or kept it the same since #onlyzaps ?

What percentage of the time do you use custom zaps? nostr:note1z8779uzcjvdcnvk9kxwrhw0kh6kj3xuqds37acnnxwzrmk37ke3s9jje7q

The truly genius part of #onlyzaps is your default #zap amount was *already* defined as a 🤙

Well played, #[2]​

Well played indeed.

Forgive the ignorant question, but what’s the best way to follow news here? Do I create lists? Which functions are the best to use?

listening to the Rogan segment. i don’t know this Ottman guy or minds.com, but seems kinda shitcoiny, no?

Never forget

So many smart people on #nostr, that sometimes their wise beautifully worded posts are making my brain unable to comprehend what they had actually meant 🤣 seriously need to learn more vocab lolllll

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

We can do it but rolling it out to 24 stores while simplifying the accounting and the taxes is the hard part

Not yet but soon

Elon likes dodge not because it’s funny, but because he can’t stand the fact that he didn’t think of bitcoin.

Just my 2 sats

First of all, the goal is censorship resistant electronic cash that can't be debased.

Second of all, organizations can still share their Monero transaction history and provide cryptographic guarantees over that data without revealing their spend key.

Is worthwhile to post charts/analysis here, even if it is similar or even a direct copy of what I post on Twitter.

Let me know 👊

Would love to see more bitcoiners on Nostr discussing financial world events.

Thank you sir, we need to get some financial news discussions going here.

Not as much dopamine because less people - but also less fake people and more sats per post.

Going to start utilizing this platform more, especially for more nuanced bitcoin talk.

Do you know of examples where someone tried to spend Bitcoin and had issues because of Bitcoin's lack of fungibility?
