That blew my mind at the time! And they came out ahead compared to the pennies per album they were getting.
I really liked the album too!
Arpeggi/Wierd Fishes is pretty dreamy.
Gold is also hard money, but when people get into gold, I don't see any sort of personal transformation in their "time preference." In fact, being a "goldbug" frequently comes with a certain type of blackpilling that is a prime breeding ground for the same nihilistic and self-destructive behaviors associated with fiat escapism. In contrast, many people upon becoming Bitcoiners have felt a change in what they value, and are able to delay immediate gratification for more lofty goals. They may see a short, rough transitory period ahead, but see a brighter picture of the future than the average goldbug does.
Shitcoiners try to make everything Bitcoin-shaped. From decentralized social media to asset issuance.
Bitcoiners find a way to solve the problem without making it Bitcoin-shaped, because they know, besides Bitcoin, Bitcoin-shaped things are useless or don't work.
Here's another example.
I'm getting the feeling that random messages are being quoted or replied to.. or something on Amethyst.
Now, Bitcoin creates a world where Grandmas cand be Grandmas and plumbers can be plumbers, meaning we all don't have to learn how to become a an expert investor to keep up with the treadmill of inflation. That being said, those who do like to trade will be able to do so, and it will be built on Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is an asset, but there are many other assets that could be derived from it; block space, Lightning Liquidity, Asic chips, Mining Stocks, Stocks of holding companies, including de facto ones such as Microstrategy, etc.
This is why you're my nip05.
So I hear as far as relays go, it's quality, not quantity. Sending redundant data to poor relays that can't provide it back at a reasonable speed, or with a reasonable amount of uptime doesn't make sense. Any place that I can do diagnostics on the health of my relays?
Yeah, must be interesting learning both lightning and nostr at the same time. The lightning-ness and nostr-ness are actually quite separate, until you click the bolt and then it summons your default lightning app to open, and then it sends to the lnurl of the user of that nostr account.
I've heard it said both ways, but it stands for Notes and other stuff transmitted over relays. So notes. So no-ster. Also Nostradamus the French Astrologer.
This is what you see when you click the Lightning Bolt at the bottom of each post on Snort. Super cool, but maybe a little much, maybe I'd prefer a choice of 3 and then this if I did a long click. But you know, maybe it wasn't made only for mobile in mind.
I think he means this. This is what you get when you press the Lightning bolt at the bottom of each post.
I just posted a Twitter spaces... didn't realize we had a Nostr Spaces going! Embarrassing.

I know I'm not supposed to be putting up bird-app-links, but they are talking about Nostr at the moment.
Yeah, there's gonna be very few jobs left untouched. Instead of UBI, maybe a less harmful route might be regulation of the AI, industry. Not usually pro-regulation, but if it's slowed down a bit, there's time for people to switch gears and find new emerging opportunities. Problem is, some country won't slow progress. Yeah, that plan doesn't work, nvm.
I feel like it's like a Diploma. Having a Diploma or not is not the impressive part. The institution that issues the Diploma really matters. The institution of cashapp will not verify any more "jack"s, but many other institutions will.
They are still going on Lightning, not Nostr (we all have LNURLS). Many big channels do routing for free, I understand why exchanges do it, some other routers offer free routing, but charged a one time fee for opening channels. So much of what's going on here is Wallet of Satoshi to Wallet of Satoshi... if they are smart, that's just numbers on a database and not really a real Lightning payment, but idunno. Alot of it is free anyway even a custodial Bluewallet (which they are phasing out) to a Wallet of Satoshi.
