Is too many relays a bad thing? What's the magic number?

I was referring to nostr lmao and wanted to know where it will potentially go 🚀

Brawndo!

Idiocracy. Not ironically.

hello guys

Yeah it gets real pretty fast when someone you love are affected.

There is only one chronic disease and it's called inflammation; everything else is symptoms.

Following to understand this; because, I admit, I have never once even read about Liquid. I should at least read the project docs

As a value investor, I find Charlie Munger's recent WSJ-published arguments to ban bitcoin/crypto and thank the leader of the Chinese Communist Party to be embarrassing and sad.

I'm currently writing a research note to 10,000 retail and institutional subscribers on why it's dumb.

Munger has a history of arguing that someone should be able to "steelman" their opposing view if they are going to have an opinion on something, which means being able to articulate an opponent's viewpoint more convincingly than even they can. Recently on CNBC, Munger was quoted on his historical claim and then asked by the anchor to steelman bitcoin/crypto after his WSJ op-ed, and he was unable to and didn't even try to.

He doesn't know anything about Segwit, Taproot, block size limits, whether a base layer should be Turing complete or not, anything about power dynamics between nodes, developers, and miners, etc. Absolutely no clue, and no attempt at a clue.

Such a bad viewpoint doesn't only reflect his old age, but also reflects his inherent ethics at a structural level from inception as a banker. It undermines his entire legacy.

Even on the history of money and its problems in developing countries, Munger would be schooled in a Twitter Spaces by any random above-average bitcoin twitter anonymous account.

It's sad to see.

By the way, if you think you pay taxes in the USA, you don't know the tax hell in Europe.

In practically all countries you pay more than 20% to buy anything, plus another 20% that they take from your salary. If you have a high salary, more than 100k euros the state already takes more than 50% of your salary. Add to this taxes on everything.

As a general rule, European states collect more than 50% of their GDP in taxes.

These are the consequences of not having guns.

Nostr as a protocol, and the community in the Nostr ecosystem of clients, are absolutely incredible.

Little capital provided, and yet here it all is.

Keep building. This is awesome. A technology whose time has come.

You need an icon because it will represent your public key with which others will be able to communicate with you regardless of the client.

First ‘Invested’ in Bitcoin 2 years ago thinking it as another asset class. Then I started to learn more about what it is. Has changed my thinking on so many different subjects. Feel like the veil is being lifted from my eyes. The world looks different. Difficult to explain to people. Think they have to discover for themselves. You can lead a person to Bitcoin but you can’t them see it.
