It’s hilarious watching everyone react the same way every cycle 😂

Baby is great, thanks for asking!

😂

I didn't know that nostr has haters.

Cheers mate, need to look into golf, this looks like fun!

Yeah I was “doing uber” during that time 🤣

Have people stopped zapping because it's all custodial? Because my coins are self custody behind tor and every zap feels like magic

What the rest of the video like?

"TOUCH GRASS!"

He could have just promoted his app/service. Instead he comes here to tell us why nostr sucks. At first I was curious about his thing but now not so much

But he got an address for zaps nonetheless. 😂

If nostr were the answer, people like me would be building on it.

Ask yourselves who the builders are that aren't choosing nostr, and why.

Then ask yourselves what all the people building here have in common.

Then compare these groups earnestly. I dont just mean Bitcoiners vs Bluehairsky. I mean their experience, talent, and reputation.

I mean the most talented and resourceful people; people that innovate, and have deep expertise. Why aren't they leaving where they are to build here?

Examples: Bitcoin Core devs, shitcoin expert devs that really do want to fix things, talented cryptographers, deeply experienced systems/p2p people, experienced entrepreneurs, reputable VCs and funders.

The closest I see here are people that got Bitcoin-rich and are now learning how to be angels by naively funding their friends and dead-end startup projects that arent much better than weekend hackathon submissions. A sandbox for playing.

Everything worth anything here is a subdivision of Bitcoin culture itself and Bitcoin privilege. Bitcoin is the only provider of talent and resources to Nostr. That worked great to bootstrap from nothing, but now what?

Deal with this, and figure out how to be relevant to other people, or Nostr will continue to be nothing more than a perpetual hackathon sandbox subsidized by a Bitcoiner ego-cult.

Unironically, the side that is more often correct in a given debate usually has way better memes. It's a decent (albeit not foolproof) heuristic. And it applies to humor more broadly, with memes basically being the haiku form of humor.

-When you find something funny, it's often because you subconsciously agree with it, at least partially. Sometimes you're trained that you *should* agree with a given side, but humor just cuts through it and reveals that really you kind of don't, and in some way forces you into an honest moment.

-Creating a meme requires condensing an argument into a short context. While outright lies are easy to make short (i.e. you can just say a false thing that requires the other side to take time to unpack), actual arguments are not so easy to make short, especially if they're also going to be funny. A meme that has any sort of point to it generally has an argument embedded within it, even if that argument takes the form of an observation or other simple thing. Outside of highly technical contexts, arguments/observations are generally easier to condense if they're true.

The side of a given debate that reliably can make short, funny arguments is typically on to something.

I know 🤣

I’m hoping you get zapped 27 times for 27 sats. I have no idea what 27×27 is… but it’s like $1 million in 21 years.

It's magic internet money, man 🤙🫡

she sounds like a very supportive wife 😆

Schadenfreude-enjoyers reading the debate:

You and I BOTH were. If you owe an apology, then so do I.

Sorry bud.

💯🔥

Yep. I’ve seen it. FUCK YouTube.

At this point, it’s unclear whether airport security is security theater or a humiliation ritual.

Wife’s car died today. It had a good run. RIP

Primal has become unusable for me since I started posting videos. It's crashes whenever those posts are on my screen.

Back to Amethyst! 💪

You’re only aloud to stack sats and stay humble apparently can’t try to outperform or to buy business equity or any other asset lol

I don't think its taboo per se... everybody wants to see success stories. They just really want them to be ones that align with their own definitions of value. 😅
