I have a friend that works at Madison Square Garden and he sent me this screenshot of ticket prices. I keep thinking that currency falling apart and this so similar to bread and circuses.

I feel like I want to do what nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle is doing and have a credit card I can pay off in bitcoin. Does anyone know where I can get a credit card like this?

Not one where I earn rewards, already have that. Just one I can pay off in sats.

Thanks nostr:npub16le69k9hwapnjfhz89wnzkvf96z8n6r34qqwgq0sglas3tgh7v4sp9ffxj

Felt like I heard both sides of debate. What I’ve learned more than anything is I need to run a node and try to have informed opinions about matters I don’t understand.

Appreciate it

Lots of crickets from podcasters about the bitcoin core issue. It’s kind of your duty as bitcoiners to stop shilling nation state adoption and start talking about this

Time to wake up Bitcoiners. This has me thinking a great deal.

I guess as a pleb I’m trying to understand that if bitcoin could have just been destroyed this whole time by a core update than it’s not anti-fragile.

It doesn’t make sense to me how code can just make an update and turn it to a shitcoin without us just forking.

nostr:nprofile1qqs0w2xeumnsfq6cuuynpaw2vjcfwacdnzwvmp59flnp3mdfez3czpspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj76l8lp0 proposed a PR (proposed change to Bitcoin core) that makes arbitrary data on chain easier.

Someone pointed out that Lopp has investments that benefit from the PR being merged (officially added to the default distribution of core) he also has ongoing business ventures involving other blockchains that allow arbitrary data in blocks.

The whistleblower was banned based on a rule that says discussion must be about the PR and not any individual.

To me, a conflict of interest from the proposer is about the PR. I pointed out to Lopp that this was a gray area at best and asked if it was him or someone else who made the call to ban. He has not answered me so far.

As far as I can tell most of the noise other than that is the ordinals VS filters argument over again. This has the added angle that some are arguing the core team don't have the real mission at heart any more. The difference is this is deliberate more arbitrary data in blocks, taproot ordinals was discovered after the merge.

So small block vs big block v7 or whatever we're up to now.

Wouldn’t it at worse just cause a fork?

Can someone explain to me in detail what is going on with bitcoin core? I’ll zap anyone who does

Listening to nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak and nostr:npub1qw6e8meaj5gzk49alamh9qf35lpmml5sq7ctjtxhcjk55qppmcjs0j2v52 talk about how Satoshi understood game theory well.

This further strengthens the Bryan Solstin thesis of John Nash is Satoshi.

While fundamentally I would say it doesn’t matter who Satoshi is, I would say that if it were John Nash it really sheds a light on the type of mind needed to create it.

I highly recommend Bryan Solstins interview with Breedlove.

Been thinking about what eventually breaks the back of this system. As nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe says which grain of sand will take down the sand castle.

Watching tons of money flood into AI has to feel like number one. Let’s say billions get dumped into AI and AI creates tons of deflationary pressure. Where exactly would returns for those investments? It feels like they would dump billions into tech that eventually becomes free. By proxy this has to cause a massive bubble of epic proportions.

Can’t stop thinking about Bitcoin as the 9th wonder of the world

How has Ethereum not plummeted hard after this mess?

Does anyone have accurate numbers on lightning network users?
