I try not to judge Nostr clients too hard in any given month on this early basis. They're all working on novel tech to increase speed and usability. They generally raised little capital or in some cases no capital, compared to what so-called Nostr competitors raised in the crypto space. How many bitcoin companies are around from a decade ago?

I use a given app, and rotate to what is gathering momentum to see if it works better, while still using what I used before, to test things as they come and go, because rarely does one client just go away. Multiple clients develop out of that trough and keep competing. But as one app goes through a period of weakness, I don't write it off. I ask what's happening and how it could be better, or what apps should look like.

I'm happy to see so many clients pushing hard and competing. That competition is what makes Nostr more interesting than Twitter/X over time. And indeed if none of the current clients provide what you want, you can enter with your own code and/or capital.

It's open. That's what makes it beautiful. That's why we're here.

Arthur C Clarke is definitely my favorite fiction author

then Vonnegut

Primal wallet isn’t supported in some states. New York particularly, why?

Hey Lyn, I absolutely loved your money. I wish there was a version for kids 🤔

I wonder if it’s even possible… it’s time to make kids start taking the red pill.

Today's P2P Nostr using phone-running Relays trough Tor in production apps (works with no hacks) will be remembered as a key milestone in Nostr's history.

Getting creative is what they do best. Eg. they don't outright ban cigarettes and foods they want us to avoid, they tax them. They initiated the war on drugs, they are well experienced.

I think Dan wanted the truth more than “winning” a bet

The trauma and inflammation from having a high velocity bullet rip through ear cartilage would be extremely evident, likely forever. If any of you know wrestlers or bjj guys theirs ears never heal post-cartilage trauma; it is an irreversible condition. And not one that prosthetics could believably hide.

Two weeks later and there is zero physical evidence that anything happened to this guys ear after a supposed extreme trauma. Completely unrealistic timetable for a young person to heal from this and this is an 80 year old overweight over worked guy.

I’m going to take the complete lack of evidence for what it is instead of doing a bunch of delusional mental gymnastics to explain away something obvious. The guys ear wasn’t shot. He pulled a WWE work. Just another suspicious political “event” used to manipulate the masses. Moving on.

Using his link unplugged in the image ID from his original post and it pulled up the correct photo with a timestamp from yesterday. So you're right he didn't technically prove the first photo, but I did using what he sent. I'll take the L, it's all good

because they would have to take it from us as long as we self custody

Contratian thought: yes Bitcoin is decentralised, but that might not be enough to survive "getting off a ___ standard for war".

During times of war, the government is a propaganda machine for sure. They will sweet talk you. You may not trust the government, but many do.

So we all have our Bitcoin and we all custody it, but how many of us truly understand why we custody it?

The government sweet talks us, says, yes, the bitcoin was good, but we need to use govcoin because reasons and everyone should go trade it in now.

Also businesses must start accepting govcoin by mandate and there will be taxes for using the bitcoin for altruistic reasons of course.

It for sure can't destroy Bitcoin, but I don't see why bitcoin cannot go through a similar journey to Gold.

Would’ve been a total destruction from that high velocity round. This situation got completely absurd when the bandage came off.
