Exactly. The main argument for people to call bitcoin a ponzi is that there must be always someone to pay you more for your coin than you have paid.
So.. like a grocery store e.g. that buys good cheap and sell them higher to make a profit.
It`s a nonsense argument by people who don't understand what a ponzi actually is
Yo #[0] , is there a reason you`ve used a immediate mode gui for gossip?
I don`t think that's a good idea for a nostr clients as you have a lot of elements that will be re-rendered every frame.
I always laugh when conspiracy theorists talk about going "down the rabbit hole". It's a metaphor for an adventure into the unknown, but simultaneously, it means that you are moving further and further away from reality and deeper into a dream.
For Alice to wake up, she has to climb out of the rabbit hole.
Going UP the rabbit hole is taking the red pill for Neo.
I'm gonna sell a kidney for 5 btc. First come, first serve.

Amethyst v0.16.0: Image Proxy / Resizer with CDN
Let's see how much I am going to have to pay for servers...
Download: https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/releases/download/v0.16.0/app-release-v0.16.0.apk
Do you have any plans to cache posts from the top 200 nostr users or so? Would surely increase performance on my old mobile
Fun facts about Telegram:
* has its own shitcoin
* is not end to end encrypted by default
* doesnβt support encrypted group chats
* is Russian owned
* is centralized
Nostr holds the promise of being an alternative, but in the meantime, I recommend checking out the matrix protocol: https://matrix.org/
One good client for it is https://element.io/
βBut what about Signal?β
Signal is okay, and a better alternative to a lot of chat apps but itβs centralized, and has privacy issues (you have to sign up with a phone number). Its creator Moxie doesnβt seem to think decentralization is a good idea (in general) and expresses his views at length here: https://youtu.be/Nj3YFprqAr8
Telegram is only one bit better than WhatsApp.
Guess we are post peak fake personilty already. Gen Z is far more authentic on tiktok than millenials on Instagram.
Elon Musk is slowly killing Twitter.
Good for nostr
