This is going to rub all our anarchists the wrong way, but here goes...
US concept for this initially was an odd mix of Christian and humanist principles.
Founders assumed government authority is not a direct delegation of individual rights but a distinct institution ordained by God to uphold order and justice.
Yes, individuals cannot take life in retribution--because God said so. But the government is deligated the authority to administer justice, including capital punishment--again, because God said so.
The authority to kill comes not from the people themselves but from a divinely sanctioned structure designed to maintain peace and punish wrongdoing. The government’s unique role affirms that individuals alone (including kings or presidents) are not equipped or authorized to exercise ultimate judgments like this. Including presidential pardons.
So no deligation of power by the people. Just affirmation of predetermined structure.
Pretty US-centric BUT some...
as in my view is US-centric

Bind NOSTR relay to an I2P address
Create an I2P Server Tunnel
• Target Port: Relay’s port (e.g., 8080).
Share the assigned .i2p address (e.g., myrelay.i2p).
Use eepsite
I think this might work.
Any suggestions for a relay? Thinking go-nostr
Pretty US-centric. Some of those are payments for services you're voluntary subscribing to. Most can be avoided by moving to a different locale. Taxes are what I was thinking of.
Could you define forced? First time encountering this term.
I get paid fewer sats each paycheck. Is this not an effect of inflation?
Not trying to argue, trying to compare apples to apples. I think whatever definition you're using should work for me!
"Invest in index funds, because you're protected through diversification and you earn a good return over the long term."
- probably your financial advisor
This is the SPX total return measured in USD (top line) and in Gold (bottom line). How's that 8-10% per year, adjusted for inflation, "return" going for you? 🤡
Thanks to nostr:npub1tccnjexzau3x5ea8c69v047nqfy3xm4w4yl9j788sts0usl87nhsvce6fh for the chart!
Is the top line adjusted for inflation?
As a store of value, Au seems to have worked well.
I know. I can tell. It's extremely annoying.
It's actually impossible to get long form CGPT output that doesn't need heavy editing.
All respect to the talented man in the arena, but if he is building sand castles I will call him out. That said:
Since when has capital gains been the price of avoiding inflation?
With every direct deposit, the number of sats obtained goes down because of inflation.
Operating only with credit cards is not friendly to small businesses.
This is a slick toy but not a solution. Parading it as a solution to inflation is dishonest at best.
The problem with digital currency is that it requires a middleman in order to Generate, Store, and Transact.
And this is no ordinary middleman. It's one powered by semiconductors.
The ethical mire of semiconductors as the lifeblood of an economic system demonstrates the perversity of said system. US fiat and bitcoin and monero together.
Digital is not the way.
send zaps to folks...this is how we used to do it
I'm sorry, I misunderstood your question. You’re right and I’m wrong.
So we are in alpha testing now, if you'd like to participate, please msg on Session or SimpleX to go over install. It's free for alpha, but maybe install issues depending on your distro.

As soon as the install bugs for each distro are resolved, we can launch beta test. The problem is the dependencies for each distro are different
