100% agree on that
Can we consider different ecash tokens fungible if they were minted by different mints? What's the advantage of routing ecash tokens if we can directly send them?
What's America then?
Ps. America is Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, Uruguay etc too
The same America that carried on the PRISM program, that incarcerates innocent developers, the same America that cheers free market being itself one of the most socialist statalist economies on the planet? The same America that kills freedom of speech and burries it under a 1917 law?
Just asking
Western societies somehow understood that beauty is an uncommon thing and is extremely elitarist, a property of very few. And instead of cheering beauty, the tendency has moved to a systematical redefinition of what beauty is based on the "inclusion philosophy".
I'm really curious: what do you think about it? Whatbdo you think about Saylor's formulations of ossification and developers funding?

Building is lovely at the end, usually so much painful in the meantime. That's the beauty I guess

It's mental how Spain and other western countries celebrate the need for independence of Palestine but do not concede any independence to their own minorities
what in the actual...
when did this happen???

I thought it would take a couple years before someone the size of tidal would write "nostr" in their codebase
Uush that's fire
So many people remarking the importance of spending sats in the real economy!
Today is a good day
Laszlo is a great reminder that spending #bitcoin is good for Bitcoin.
He used bitcoin on-chain to pay for pizza in 2010, and used bitcoin via Lightning to buy pizza in 2018.
Sure, it’s easy to look back now and say “DUDE you wasted generational wealth on PIZZA?!”
But the creators, pioneers, and early adopters of new technology are the ones who change the world. We wouldn't be where we are today without them.
I’ll never tell anyone what to do with their money, and if you simply use bitcoin as a store of value that’s wonderful, because without SoV it’s all meaningless. Store of Value based on the absolute scarcity of 21M coins is the solid foundation that enables everything else. If you don't believe me, I encourage you to study shitcoins.
Hodling drives adoption because NGU is the most powerful Bitcoin meme there is.
Different people move along the progression from Store of Value to Medium of Exchange to Unit of Account at different rates, and not always linearly. So I'll never judge someone just because they're at a different place in their Bitcoin journey than I am.
Personally, I personally use bitcoin as a SoV, MoE, and UoA. I've purchased (a lot of) beer and food, art (shoutout to nostr:npub1gn78cjuef74m9ksh4j8r6h5d7m7d79est9khup7nwthqj8e7zjuq3jy5zs ) wine (shoutout to nostr:npub153xmex42x4chdf757hp3q6zxagykkek7pdgwuwd074964dkyha9s82ryu8 ), trading cards, clothing, hotel stays and pupusas in El Salvador, and a whole lot more...
When I spend bitcoin on goods and services, I also convert more of my fiat petrodollars into bitcoin. I DCA into bitcoin every single day, and try to be as short fiat as possible.
I also spend and earn bitcoin every single day by zapping and being zapped on #Nostr
I've funded projects on nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9 and had my projects funded as well.
I've donated bitcoin to charities and open source development.
I send sats to my favorite podcasters like nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z , nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx , and nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev on Fountain because I find their work valuable and want to give value in return. I also receive sats from people on Fountain who enjoy nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8
It's a beautiful thing when value can flow across the world without the friction of fiat rails.
So, do whatever you want with your bitcoin. I truly don't care and it's none of my business.
Personally, I'm going to keep using bitcoin as a Store of Value AND Medium of Exchange AND Unit of Account.
I'd like to thank Laszlo for being a pioneer who wasn't afraid to spend bitcoin, because he knew nothing changes unless we change it.
If you want to build parallel systems, you have to build parallel systems... They don't just appear out of thin air because you LARPed about it on social media.
Shoutout to the developers, the Hodlers, the Spend & Replace-ers, the merchants, and the miners. We're all Bitcoiners, and we all believe a better future is possible thanks to Bitcoin.
But the future we want doesn't just happen; we have to build it.
Great message!
I'm pushing myself to the boundaries of the SoV definition and starting to think that correctly storing value means having the ability to always exchange that value for goods and services. Otherwise, there is no value. Making sats flow into the real economy means using lightning wallets, onchain wallets,
Thus, SoV forces you - at least casually - to enforce your sovreignty in spending the sats, to remind yourself that the value you're storing actually is only **valuable** if you're able to spend it whenever, wherever, with who you want.
Thanks for your take
I beti that eventually will be estended to anyone
