This is the antithesis of #nostr
You shouldn't even fucking know how many people are tapping into your words and you certainly shouldn't care if it's 10 or 10,000.
I long for the day audience farming dies. Highly unlikely to happen given human nature. nostr:note1x3unksydgy2xurm2nax7297zxc5f4msncpne4fkt4aqpqumgpknsr7tvl3
Hey all - this is my first post on Nostr using Damus after I set this up a while ago (thanks mostly to nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z and a little bit to nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev 👍😉). I’m excited to keep learning from smart humans wherever their contributions can be found. 💪❤️
Forever believing the ideal and pursuing ‘strong opinions, weakly held.’

Good to have you brother 🍻
Well I'm actually being a touch unfair. I think Whitney is highly useful in the sense that she is good at looking at situations from a different perspective and loves to turn over or look under rocks. We need those people. What I think Whitney sometimes gets wrong is the 'connecting of dots'. Or at least she makes connections using severely incomplete data that really leaves her conclusions exposed. I think this happened most recently with Neuralink.
The thing we all need to guard against is the tendency to dig only deep enough to make the data fit our narrative bias.
No one is perfect and I certainly can't expect perfection from Whitney when she is forced to operate in the dark with hands tied behind her back given the nature of the topics she tries to expose.
Having written this reply I think I've realised my frustration is perhaps more directed at those who interview her and are not more robust in their interrogation of her conclusions.
😂🤣😂🤣 So good 🤪
I can't even begin to express how retarded this thinking and perspective is. It's the epitome of developer self loathing.
Everything matters. UI/UX/codebase etc.
The presumption that caring about UX is synonymous with being a normie that deserves to live inside a dystopian madness is....well it's pathetic.
Reject this framing. It's age old dogma from deluded developers who have no capacity to think on a substantive level about the nature of human interactions. nostr:note1zgkn8a22w6rjllm7jq8hela69rm6j3mpnz39a8hdgt0n5ytj4wtsv8c4rt
Is it poetic in some way that the conflict most likely to lead to WW3 and by extension most likely to lead to hyperinflation of the USD and hyperbitcoinization is also on the front page of that paper on that day? nostr:note1788hq0vpvu98t0j0dtkap84ax2ksuwv950hx6vgck504h4nwv3mqypyuds
Nation states are the master of this. nostr:note1m3ultlqsdzfmczmp7fdqca5xn6tczrmarms2fx8ms682q506zeeqeuz3hn
This trend will accelerate to the point it causes most people to wake up and demand privacy.
Oh wait. Sadly no it won't because most humans are already locked into a pattern of existence that they cannot and will not choose to break free from. nostr:note1nz9t7xxd0unaql8zflsuyvdl6yr3y5m0yzrwtvadmuz8ecg50v9sk94umy
We simply cannot allow power to fall into the hands of those who think differently to us. This would end democracy. 🤡
DCG, Coinbase, ETH, Solana, Bukele to name but a few.
We still have some epic bear cycles to come. 🤪
But those are stories for other times.
Time to ride a bull market where the affinity scam will be run by mainstream finance in the form of ETFs and every mothers cousin will be told by licenced financial advisors that their portfolio is broken without a 1% allocation to Bitcoin but DO NOT buy the real thing as that is highly risky. Rather, only deal with non custody ETFs to be safe.
It's wild the games of lies and deception humans play against each other.
Not exactly a picture of intelligence is he. 
Seriously? Farken hell. I can't believe just how bad things are rn.
Yeah I think that's probably quite accurate. I believe there is probably a nexus to the point at which Govts co-opted big tech and the deterioration of global search. Probably gets much worse from here with ai search before we rebuild search in some meaningful way in the future.
The strangest thing is that if you had told me in the year 2000 that search on the internet would be demonstrably poorer in the year 2023 relative to the turn of the century I just wouldn't have believed you. nostr:note1y266uhwmznwgq5r88cyxke0w4c8euf78t986dgazh4n30zm3dz3shj05zf

I guess we will never know but you have to assume both CZ and SBF were hypothecating Bitcoin to pump their exchange shitcoins. What a shitshow.
I just don't believe we will ever see any of that. I expect a long, slow, often painful walk sideways and upish over the long term. $100k circa 2032.
