Well worth a read in my opinion:
Medici Money
(Banking, Metaphysics and Art in the Fifteenth-Century Florence)
- by Tim Parks
Topics include:
- family empire
- politics of city, state and church
- intersection: money, power, democracy
- banking and trade
- two currency system
- currency devaluation
It is so weird to me how much of what is written in this book and happened approx. 550years ago resembles some events today.
The question is:
Is the future gonna resemble this kind of events in a potentially hyperbitcoinized world or are they prevented by it?
This was fun to put together. After 120 shows of the #Bitcoin Fundamentals Podcast, I picked 5 moments that were really instrumental for my own learning. These were some of the guests involved: #[1] #[2] #[3] #[4] #[5] #[6] #[7]
Watch: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=raxpm9Qu7rI&feature=youtu.be
Thank you #[8] for the value you and your guests create continuously!
You are the giants upon which shoulders the next generation of Bitcoiners provides value. We are building on your foundation.
A highlight show every 21 months or so would be fun!
Know the rules of the game you are playing.
Play stupid games…win stupid prices.

Agreed. Pure signal.

I meant the way of thinking for yourself. The deeper you go in the rabbit hole, the more you think consciously about your responsibilities and the trade-offs of outsourcing any part to a third party.
Everyone CAN take control. It’s the option that makes the difference.
#Bitcoin reintroduces individual responsibility.
More zaps = bigger information marketplace
That’s the path to real value and truth.
Zaps don’t lie! I like that!

Well I think Isaac Newton supposedly said it best:
"If I have seen further [than others], it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."
Zaps as part of the #Nostr incentive structure are quite game changing.
It is pure signal. Someone is choosing to value a contribution with a scarce asset.
It’s a free market for information.

This one is my all time favorite #[4] article… so profound!
His work should be standard reading material for every Bitcoiner!
What I like most about Nostr (beside the community) is the incentive structure.
It just works. #value4value

Yes. Many contacts but sometimes not all right? So why is that? Do the relays, that have the info, not share it?
I’m sorry. I am also still learning. Just trying to make sense of it all.
Well one side is posting notes (push side). In the example the paid proxy relay pushes your note to all the relays on its list.
Your followers now see it. (On there relays they are following you.)
The other side: the pull information from relays depends on the client and the relay u are using.
If I understand it correctly: when u follow a new account then this info get stored on the notes u are connected to in this moment. I think the problem lies in the sharing of the contact lists. But maybe we should ask someone from the devs for this one.
