Boom. My new book, Broken Money, is now available on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CG83QBJ6

I will formally announce it later today, so I guess this is the initial Nostr exclusive. It’s not even searchable on Amazon yet since it is still being incorporated into their wider database. But if you have that link, it is ready for purchase.

The ebook, audiobook, and other print distribution partners will be rolled out over time.

Thank you everyone for your support! This has been a wonderful project to work on, and it will hopefully educate more people about the current problems in the global monetary system and the solutions that Bitcoin has to offer people around the world.

Looking forward to finishing it off, Lyn. Thank you for writing this book. 👊🏽🔥⚡🙏🏼

Pump the token you printed from thin air with only a billion of derivative open interest; create tens of billions of value.

It's relatively easy too, you have proprietary info on the only liquid spot and derivatives market it trades on at the time. Futures collateralized with stablecoins and the token itself, pump it.

+4,000% in one year. $100+ billion in market cap. Your share, a mirage worth nearly $50b, materializes a mere four years after the ICO. A treasure and a trap, you enable your users to collateralize against it. Encourage this, and of course encourage them to also keep buying, this thing won't simply just support itself.

How do you capitalize? Well, first off, do NOT sell anything, that'd be too risky, as there are no natural buyers in size, you are the market. Instead, think of other ways to leverage your near immortal levels of newfound wealth, where you won't damage the exchange rate. Your own platform enables this, of course.

Access to billions of dollars of fiat flows, an international banking network, and a stablecoin issued in your name—which you even manage to rehypothecate by the billion—gives you plenty of tools at your disposal.

Your biggest competitor, who attempted to mirror your model, goes down in flames, their bluff called, with the world watching. A win at first, you shortly realize the move backfires. Regulators start circling, a precedent has been set.

Fiat rails and banking relationships get cut. Your stablecoin is ordered to wind down, and jurisdiction by jurisdiction your platform is ordered to cease. Volatility and volumes dwindle, further thinning the air.

Depleted of fiat, with most of your wealth tied to a 'Hotel California' asset that you can never sell hanging above multi-year support, you do and say anything to keep the confidence game alive.

I think taking a look around, many folks still have the laser eyes, but culturally, it's less associated with the original theme, and moreso just a general vibe

Well-said, Bill. ⚡🔥❤️🙏🏼

During the last bull run of Bitcoin's price, there was a trend of enthusiasts (self included - and still laser-eyed on X) that adopted adding laser eyes to our profile pics. The common refrains were "laser eyes until $100k BTC" or "BTC to $100k".

Yeah, it looks like we added nostr:npub1ezw0xm0w52rd4yfdg9zlw9qvwdy46alzelklkefptrd203m37tuq4djmeg to the "can't trend" list in error. Apologies for that sir, we just fixed it! ❤️‍🩹

As for adult content creators, I agree with your point. We are planning to implement a capability to determine whether content is NSFW on a per-note basis. Once that is ready, we can relax the the account-wide restriction.

Y'all building Nostr clients have crossed the point from all competing to add each new feature one client comes up with, to beginning to separate based upon sets of principles/features you believe will compete in the marketplace. We knew this would come, and I think is largely a good thing.

Will be fascinating to watch the debate unfold on whether the Nostr protocol itself should have the certain values/principles that devs build to, or whether values should play out at the client/relay level.

I for one am encouraged we have an ecosystem in which we can debate this.
