Yeah he sold it to me for 69 sats.

EXACTLY 15 years ago today, Satoshi Nakamoto debated naming #Bitcoin "Titcoin" 🤯

I can't believe Satoshi even considered this! 🤣

careful with those. i used one locally and not only was it KYC but the fee rates came to 19.5% when it was done. some of them are rip offs. a good way to check is look at the main screen to see what they say the exchange rate is. by me its usually 20-25% higher

"little tech" is actually a thing?

Thought of something today…

People like to compare Bluesky and Nostr because they are built around a similar idea. But it’s claimed Bluesky has more users, a few million apparently. But Nostr supposedly only has 100k or so active users.

Yet today I went searching for real world events and groups around each. What did I find?

Couldn’t find a single event about Bluesky.

Yet the first search found numerous conferences, meetups, and other gatherings for #Nostr

I think this is actually a decent litmus for telling the difference between an app with some users, and a movement. One is cheap, the other lasts.

#Nostr is a movement. We aren’t going anywhere. 🫡

First time on this platform! Hope to enjoy my stay here!

Algorithms control everything including who gets a job, who gets paid, who can say what, and so on.

It has happened quickly, but people are waking up to this slowly.

Ideas like switching to a dumb phone, digital detox, mindfulness are good first steps towards this.

What’s the solution? Stop feeding the monsters with your content and your time.
