I hear through the grapevine that there's some kinda problem with boats and bitcoin or something 🤷‍♂️ Well I'm here to help! 😉

You guys have been awesome and I've only been here 1 day now. I've got a fairly big lnstagram presence. It's really hard to monetise though, so your Zaps took me kinda off guard.

I'm now wondering if there's any chance I could grow here and possibly be able to do what I've wanted for years and thats to convert this social media gig into a viable profession, whereby I can dedicate all my time and energy into producing awesome content promoting boating safety and thereby increased liklihood of key retention😉.

Mining pools, bitcoin prices... Yeah, it's coin season in nostr. ^^;

Wish you all good luck with trades and stacks!

As for me, I will go scour global again, I need some more follows again. It seems that a good amount of my initial follows has gone quiet... I wish there was a tool to see a "last active at" for each follow, that'd be pretty neat. o.o

But hey, Nostr is amazing and also a revolving door. People come, people go.

It's not even about whether or not ordinals have value.

The question to ask and answer is: should we permit use cases other than permissionless P2P digital cash to consume the scarce resource of block space on Bitcoin?

There are other value networks out there that are better suited to recording and exchanging blobs of arbitrary, non-monetary data.

The Bitcoin maximalist position of rejecting all other value networks seems to lead to the thinking that Bitcoin should absorb all other use cases.

Understand that it is ok for other value networks to exist that serve other use cases. Bitcoin is in no way threatened by them.

Bitcoin serves the most vital use case and that is the only use case that it needs to serve.

We are trying to empower financial self sovereignty for the entire world. We do not have time for stupid games.

Do not lose sight of the original goal of Bitcoin, and reject anything that deviates from that goal.

"I’ve developed a new open source P2P e-cash system called Bitcoin. It’s completely decentralized, with no central server or trusted parties, because everything is based on crypto proof instead of trust.”

— Satoshi Nakamoto

> should we permit

Wrong question. Can we stop it? 👈 Right question. (You can't.)

Like I said, I liked everything else. Must be my marketing ear that caught it, but it stood out to me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I like everything about this except the implication that self-storage is new.

This is what the future of banking looks like. Utterly absent from US markets thanks to the malfeasance of federal regulators. My only criticism is this: wen ecash? https://www.axios.com/2023/12/06/bitcoin-narrow-bank-xapo-us
