We used to copy/paste lightning invoices in Twitter DMs because that's all we had in 2020. We had no fancy "zaps" you kids have now-a-days. Life was hard.
Love that coinbase/circle are up here. USDC, the "above board" stablecoin that pays for anti-tether campaigns and probably killed the MakerDAO guy to get the USDC in Coinbase's vaults. (aka hide that they don't have enough)
Also love that cryptoDotCom is here.
They ALSO have an exchange token
They ALSO have a stadium.
Oh... OK, I think I got it. I clicked the link and now I don't see the message anymore. Thanks!
In reference to Silvergate not doing so well, I went looking for how much they have to do with the Bitcoin space. (as opposed to crypto)
Silvergate doesn't seem to have too much to do with the Bitcoin-only space. In March of 2022, Silvergate gave Microstrategy a $205 Million loan, but the terms of loan doesn't change in case of Silvergate going insolvent. (Silvergate can't demand all the money back now just because they really need it) Also, Microstrategy custodies no assets with Silvergate.

I think Sivergate is having a bank run. Here's their exposure, it's exactly who you'd expect:
Yeah, the thing is every character increases the amount of time exponentially. Soo btc may be easier. Also, it's in base 58, so they don't have I's I'm going for 'Tmchn' for Timechain.
I mined a key that has the word "cl0wny" in it! I think that means it should be a fun public clownaround account.

I mean, I won't. But there's no way of knowing that. Maybe the cl0wny one can be a public one that people post clownworld stuff to.
This is true.
I'm mining a vanity nostr key. The website I'm using shows me some cool ones I landed on in the meantime.
I have ...
An npub that begins with npub1n00sed...
One that ends with "puppy"
and one that begins with npub1cl0wny...
reply if you are interested!
Seems I only reserve it for 3 days though, unless I want to make it my nip05... but I already have a nip05 I like alot!
Oh shit, this is getting ridiculous.
If a social media platform has a problem with botfarms, & artificial follower counts, "likes" or "upvotes" aren't a trusted metric. Attaching value (backed by something non-virtual) can provide a trusted metric of engagement. Any 'virtual' measure can be distorted & inflated.
Who is running the relay Nostr.plebchain.org?
It's true, especially since one can make bots to press like. But zaps are actually proof of work-backed.
How's the new Wallet of Satoshi testflight version?
I always wait a bit to update Bitcoin Core and Wallet of Satoshi, lol.
So, you probably listen to a few Bitcoin podcasts. But do you listen to any Nostr podcasts yet?
No?
Well, listen to Nostrovia!
