Indeed. Not wanting to spend your sats is a personal choice and I whole heartedly support that. Not understanding why you would want to spend them is so short sighted and narrow minded.

you can spend your cash balance over Lightning today on Strike.

I prefer this over spend and replace because it avoids the capital gain taxable event and is the same thing as spend and replace.

what we do behind the scenes is take your fiat, convert it to bitcoin, and pay the lightning invoice.

what’s mind blowing is that when Square turns this on, a consumer and a merchant can even do USD <> USD settlement with bitcoin as the network, not Visa. cheaper, faster , cash final, etc.

Because all prices fall when measured in bitcoin, how will businesses be able to price their products in an efficient manner when bitcoin becomes the unit of measure? For example, it would seem very taxing for a restaurant to change its menu prices every day or every week. nostr:nprofile1qqsg86qcm7lve6jkkr64z4mt8lfe57jsu8vpty6r2qpk37sgtnxevjcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqzxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skcul8ldf would love to hear your thoughts on this!

Try telling a bunch of independent thinkers what they can think and you’ll find out why #Bitcoin is different than any other protocol.

For me, every attack on a person instead of an idea makes me want to look deeper into the idea.

Genius comes from the edges and has always been dangerous to the center. (or existing base of knowing)

Regional (small) banks have a bit under 50% of the commercial real estate market. This market has been in deep shit for quite some time. The loans are written for much shorter periods than residential real estate.

Occupancy rates are down and continue to drop. Interest rates are up. When these loans come due the buyer will turn in the keys as opposed to being upside down. Has been a slow grind the past few years and under reported. Just one rather large piece of shit to hit the fan in the everything bubble.

I knew the commercial real estate market has been in trouble since 2020, but didn’t realize the regional banks were the ones holding the bag. Fascinating. And scary. Gonna be a wild ride. Thanks for sharing!

bitcoin is accurately smelling trouble right now.

Do you remember when WhatsApp didn't used to support lightning payments?

This is designed to live in whatsapp, as there are billions of people with no other access to the internet, this gives them bitcoin, nostr and AI agents that can provide them with free information and freedom money.

It will also run in any other chat app... by the end of the week we expect to have signal, whatsapp, web, nostr dms, bitchat and Qaul (offline wireless mesh).

Bitcoin for anybody that wants it, no more walled gardens.

The way the economy is going, the pendulum is bound to swing hard left soon. With Trump doing all his shitcoin shenanigans, sometimes I wonder if his long term effect on the industry will be as positive as we believe.

So incredibly stupid that such a high quality EDUCATIONAL channel who’s probably saved thousands of people from getting scammed or losing BTC through error would get banned from YouTube. Insanity.

Starting the book “Praxeology: The Invisible Hand that Feeds You” and I thought this opening quote was worth re quoting:

"I learned to look more upon the bright side of my condition, and less upon the dark side, and to consider what I enjoyed, rather than what I wanted: and this gave me sometimes such secret comforts, that I cannot express them; and which I take notice of here, to put those discontented people in mind of it, who cannot enjoy comfortably what God has given them, because they see and covet something that he has not given them. All our discontents about what we want appeared to me to spring from the want of thankfulness for what we have.”

Am I the only one in the world that doesn’t love the movie Akira?

With its violence and gore and dark psychological aspects, it helped pave the way for mainstream adult animation. And it had amazing visuals for the time, with iconic aspects that were replicated elsewhere. So like, it’s objectively important in the history of the medium. No doubt about that.

But in terms of watching it, I don’t find it subjectively engaging, nor do I find myself recommending it like “you gotta watch Akira”.

What are your favorite examples of antagonists that change and grow throughout a story but generally remain antagonists?

Eg they are not “protagonist villains” like Walter White, and they are not “redeemed villains” because at least in some ways, they fail to redeem or their growth arc, while present, is stunted.

Usually an antagonist is static, while a protagonist grows to defeat them. But in some fiction, the antagonist grows and changes and yet still is an antagonist.

Jamie Lannister is an interesting example. He starts off by callously pushing a child out a window. And he goes to war against the protagonists of House Stark.

But then he gets humbled, has his perspective changed, fixes some of his weaknesses and leans more on his strengths, becomes likeable by the audience, finds himself pairing up with the protagonists more, etc. So he goes through a growth arc.

But then at the end, he still chooses his original side. More mature, but still ultimately bound by his same weaknesses. An interesting arc to watch, and one that probably would have been more interesting if the last season wasn’t rushed and bad.

Any other good examples? Maybe ones that remain more villainous than Jaime?

Darth Vader. Also, could be argued that Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca could be protagonist or antagonist.

This analysis of why most movies suck now cracked me up:

“The era of Woke was defined by passionate identity politics but dispassionate creativity and regard for source material.

In the wake of Woke, we are now in the era of Slop, which is just dispassionate entirely.

Slop content is colorful, shiny, and new, but feels like a copy of a copy of a copy. Slop is low effort content that makes and leaves no impression, has no meaning or cultural impact, is basically watchable but has no rewatchability, and no one involves cares.

It is high energy but without intensity. It has a huge budget and vast resources, and squanders them. Slop is about producing content for the sake of having something for sale. It supposes that mainstream viewers are comfortable with tired tropes and cliches and that much of the audience is young and dumb enough to not register them as tropes and cliches.

Slop happens because studios don’t understand why a certain IP works or why it got popular, and don’t properly understand the audience or when to call it quits or who to put in charge.

Slop is a result of second-screen (phone) engagement becoming a typical part of media consumption. Instead of fighting it, companies are now designing content around the assumption that audiences won’t be fully paying attention.”

Like in everything, 80% of movies are not going to be good. It’s been like that always and will probably remain like that in the future.
