I want to torment my wonderful partner less, which is why I started using nostr as an outlet for my 'stream of consciousness' (I think this is an incorrect phrase, but I want to 'save time' (I think this is an incorrect phrase...)).

I've also read several times that nostr is dead (just like Bitcoin). It lacks content and interactions. So I thought to myself: "You want content?" You shall get content. Nobody has said anything about the quality.

P.S. What Paul says about Peter tells us more about Paul than about Peter.

P.P.S. This is also the reason why I will continue to buy Bitcoin (I think this is an incorrect...)

I'm interested.

I hear you. I worry that a goldrush of some of the shadiest companies will happen in a blink.

Surveillance-oriented-companies love nothing more than areas where people *have to hand over data*.

And the "we need this data to keep ppl safe" fear thing is going to be a godsend.

If we aren't demanding that concerns about safeguards, limits & accountability are included in every step of the conversation now...it will be 100x harder to get them in place once big companies & lobbyists have set the terms of the game.

I hear what you are saying, and agree that this kind of advanced data collection probably is not necessary.

My view is: don't underestimate the power of these industries.

Consider that there's a difference between what kind of invasiveness might be needed.... and what will be instantly sought & probably granted.

Getting concrete. The cheaper bids on contracts will probably be because they rely heavily on more automated approaches... And to make that work, they are going to want data.

Not so simple or obvious in a free market, or a free society that doesn't depend on big daddy government for protection from everything. Private airlines will be incentivized to keep their planes safe. How many customers, jets, and employees do they want to lose to terrorists? How many CAN they lose before they are out of business? The winners will be those airlines that can keep their planes safe and do it politely and cheaply. I trust the free market can do that; we already know governments cannot.

The paradoxical thing about Bitcoin is, that you can never tell what its price is going to be. At the same time you can be certain, that its price (in fiat) is going up forever.

Just want to clear up any confusion. This is not us.

Absolutely.. I don't know why is such a big deal .. mistakes happen... And may be it was totally intentional ..

dont think there is such thing as debt forgiveness, someone takes the bill, in the case of banks they are either bailed out with taxes, or nationalized, hence communism. As more systems fail more intervention of the state is required to keep things afloat without civil unrest.

Hey it got Trump elected - so yea, good point😂

When I write underscores around words I want underscores around words, I don't want some italics garbage.

If I was a hardware engineer looking for an idea, I would definitely fundraise for a GrapheneOS phone. $5M round, 6-month project, 100,000 units, flagship, $700 each, $70M round revenue, $5M profit. Rinse and repeat.

It's an awesome feature.

You can just write your nsec to a subdermally implanted microchip implant and tap to access your notes.

Just to make the obvious point even more obvious (though I understand you’re about to segue into Amethyst's "Stealth mode" features). They’re finding plenty of excuses to search your phone... in authoritarian countries.

I travel quite a bit in Europe, have parents in Canada and South America, often take trips to Asia, and have even visited countries in the Middle East. I have never been asked to unlock my phone.

Not that the UK doesn’t engage in its fair share of mass surveillance against its own citizens, but that’s a different conversation.

For those of us fortunate enough not to have ties to authoritarian countries, the best option is simply not to travel there. For the proud citizens of authoritarian states where you must "respect the dear leader's authoritahhh!"... I’m truly sorry. Maybe consider applying for asylum somewhere safer?

So what you mean more data?

When you delete your nostr-apps, a police agent can not directly know, you are on Nostr. Just make sure you have a passwordmanager, where your private key is stored securely.
