Just came across this CME Group event contract for a bitcoin trade. Looks an awful lot like the prediction markets crypto-folks have been trying to make happen for years: https://www.cmegroup.com/activetrader/event-contracts.html?utm_source=press_release_and_external&utm_medium=friendly&utm_campaign=event_contract 
This profile of #[0] has already been translated into Spanish and is causing quite a stir: https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2023/05/30/bitcoin-social-network-nostr-creator-fiatjaf-/ To everyone generously offering to zap me, a brief response: In 2014 I promised not to invest while I was covering. To this day, bitcoin is mostly a speculative asset. Projects like NostrMarket could change that, and I hope they do! However, until more of you are spending instead of hodling, or if I change beats, I’m going to stick to my promise: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20140820232008-27631733-why-reporters-who-cover-bitcoin-shouldn-t-own-it?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&utm_campaign=share_via Keep building!
Read the introduction to Terry Eagleton’s Literary Theory, and if you’re hooked finish it. Was perhaps the most informative book of my understanding of #borderlessness beyond just the physical
I feel you. It was a fun challenge, and I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out, but would have loved a picture of FiatJaf!

Thanks, man! Looking forward to following your progress!!!
It’s a very good point. For me, the difference was that where I live people don’t invest in dolllars, and I don’t write about people that do invest in dollars. Now that people are actually SPENDING bitcoin to buy things my thoughts are evolving. The success of things like NostrMarket are a crucial part of that process
Thank you! It’s tough because I made a promise to my audience in 2015 not to invest in crypto beyond what it takes to understand the tech: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20140820232008-27631733-why-reporters-who-cover-bitcoin-shouldn-t-own-it?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&utm_campaign=share_via As my beat expands beyond crypto, I hope that changes! Thanks so much for reading!!!
Thank you for asking! I committed to not investing in any assets I cover, beyond what it takes to understand the technology: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20140820232008-27631733-why-reporters-who-cover-bitcoin-shouldn-t-own-it?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&utm_campaign=share_via I considered activating, but was comfortable receiving zaps from readers. In the future, I expect to expand beyond covering crypto and hope I can relax my policy then
