You can just do things and suck at them and then get a little better each day until you don’t suck anymore.

I have declared all our war on the raccoons for the next 2 weeks.

They started it.

Why share the trump shit? Are you stuck in the red/blue thing? Are you not as far into his hole as I thought might be. Lame

Bitcoin Twitter has become noisy and lame. Looking for the signal here…

God this scam is so incredible.

I don’t know who needs to hear it, but cereal is cancerous garbage with virtually no nutritional benefit that will make you fat, malnourished, and clog your arteries.

The people who tell you otherwise are lying to you. nostr:note16x08revs4n7kqnn82th87xaxen8f23kjvf74usxcgnlque4jvw7qddzf5s

Could a Bitcoin monopoly board game exist? How would it work?

Folks who got in at this point post-halving in 2017 experienced a crazy 20x over the following 8 months.

Conversely, folks who got in at this point post-halving in 2021 pretty much entered at the top of that cycle.

Where are we headed this cycle? Only time will tell.

My superpower is I can see the future.

It’s made me a millionaire multiple times through entrepreneurship (I bootstrapped a game business when Facebook opened up the API back in ~2007/2008), and then later through investing in Bitcoin early.

My superpower also helped me raise 9 figures for nearly 100 businesses over the traders and saved my friends from losing tens of millions of dollars (maybe hundreds?).

I JUST realized today that I haven’t been in control of my powers for my whole life.

Seeing the future can also be a bane.

I was trying to CHANGE the negative future outcomes that I saw coming - but my superpower is SEEING the future not CHANGING the future.

I was constantly trying to correct behaviors & thought patterns, thinking that I could change things to avoid negative future outcomes.

While I have definitely come in at the right time for people in my life and have 100% changed their future, this takes a major toll on me.

Something simple like my daughter going over her screen time by an hour could put me into an anxiety state where I am envisioning the negative consequences of her continued overuse of screens years in the future … causing me to try to prevent a negative future from happening in the present, which usually leads to arguments because normal people don’t think like this.

Worrying is my cryptonite.

I am now going to focus on finding the tools to help me deal with changing the future in a way that doesn’t send me into worry and anxiety over negative future outcomes that don’t exist yet.

Does anyone else have this super power, and have you discovered a way to interface with normies in a way that allows you to have an impact on the future without harming the present?

nostr is still mainly used alongside twitter. in the best rare case, as a replacement. and only because people are running away from something about twitter they don't like.

there is nothing that people want to run to nostr for yet. zaps were promising, but bitcoin is still a hurdle (one that primal is doing the best at overcoming), and it's doubtful lightning could scale to a massive adoption moment.

nostr needs a feature or experience that's unique and sets it apart. i *think* that is the ecosystem of microapps over the long term...but it's definitely not in the short term. and that might be ok.

for twitter the initial draw was the simplicity and weirdness of 140 characters (we started with zero network effect, facebook had it all...that's built over time). later it became the conversation which lead to the "public square" (owned by a private corporation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). and then as it grew, it had a single point of control/failure people could attack.

nostr doesn't have to worry about that last bit. it's an incredible feature. but not one the average person cares about (no matter how much they yell "FREE SPEECH!"...if people actually cared about free speech, bitcoin and nostr would be all they used...they don't).

all this to say, we're not doomed. but what we think is the killer feature isn't right now. who's going to discover the one that is?
