Nostr isn't one thing, different apps will take different routes. You guys should embrace the nostr free market and choose what's right for you in the end.

It’s more about saving in a money you know the rules and know they won’t change. I don’t know how much money the central bank will print. I know exactly how much bitcoin will be issued down to the sat. It is an open system so anyone who is willing is free to participate or not. We don’t want to be bankers for others we want to be our own bankers of our own money. Bankers can change the supply of dollars, bitcoiners cannot change the supply of bitcoin it is fixed.

For all of the Nostriches that aren't Bitcoiners, all 8 of you 😆 , in case you were confused: Why are Bitcoiners celebrating that the price of Bitcoin is going down today? Well, that means we can acquire more of it. It's on sale or cheaper. We don't want the price to go up in the short-term, because we know where it's going long-term. We don't trade. We don't care about technical analysis. We don't care about charts. We just want to stack. Anyways, enjoy the Bitcoin fire sale.

We fell through the Long-Term Holder cost basis,

but there is a major line of defence sitting just under 20k. #Bitcoin

LOL crypto-tards want fiat to die and think they will be ok......... How retarded can they be? They will be just as screwed as we are. All they will be able to do is zap each other while they starve to death

so I’ve basically given up ever arguing with normies about bitcoin coz I feel like I put in a good shift and it’s not rewarding anymore. occasionally I’ll dive back in if the idiot in question is famous enough for the audience to make it worthwhile. but for the most part my attitude is that it just doesn’t matter: we are going to win, and it doesn’t matter whether or not the high priests of fiat understand what is happening.

but I just realised something pretty hilarious. the high priests of fiat *really do think this matters* because, in their clown world, winning the argument literally is affecting reality. that’s how fiat works: whoever convinces the most, and the most important, people, gets to do what they want with the money.

it’s not about accurately reflecting reality. it’s not about capturing time or causation. it’s not about being mindful of unintended consequences. it’s entirely about *sounding* impressive.

it’s pretty fun to think about how this will play out as the collapse of fiat accelerates. my prediction is they will get louder and louder, thinking this grants more and more influence over the reality that is increasingly spiralling out of their, and anybody’s else, control.

and when they try to argue, I’ll just shrug.

At least priority was given to zaps. That is definitely what matters, not our ability to read threads.

Ultimately we will have an algorithm to prioritize posts. We could just go with 'if user has a lot of followers but little views. Priroritize down'

I see a whole lot of love of Bitcoin around here...😩

The largest religion in the world. What most people believe in. Is the value of money 💸

So, the hellthread is being used to get people followers? Why would I want to follow someone who started this bullshit or participated in it so they could get follows?

Early adoption I am referring to the phase of adoption that precedes early majority in a bell curve, has no time constraint it is based on percentage of adoption.

"Justin Bieber has announced that he is cancelling his Purpose World Tour due to "unforeseen circumstances". In a message on Instagram, he explained that he wants his mind and soul to be sustainable, so he is taking some time to love himself."

Well we are still early in adoption so not sure why you’d expect all merchants to suddenly accept it as payment everywhere. Exchanges facilitate exchanges between fiat and bitcoin and or crypto, no different then a foreign exchange.

What good is dollars if you need banks to use them in the real world?

Not really sure how exchanges invalidates bitcoin in your mind?

Looks like the flow into #nostr of new users has cooled down & the temporary boost of "novelty" activity is being whittled down to those who have made a real commitment to dedicating in Nostropolis.

I think this will be a good time to work out kinks, experiment with stupid or weird ideas, and start testing things that aren't quite ready for a full release yet.

In other words, we could be in a short term Nostr bear market so it's a great opportunity to explore & experiment.
