True that: Engagement isn't even a thing.
Lots of things done at Bitcoin conferences are odd. And I've been to many.
1. Not getting clear messages as to why when relays reject or filter a note.
2. Not having a single sign on solution (secure private key management that works across all clients)
3. Not easily seeing the reach and distribution of notes and user info / no good network wide search. I spent a lot of time trying to find and connect to some friends by their NPUBs at first without knowing which relays to use.
Why not implement a relay level DHT index of note/user hashes <-> owning relay that could deliver a federated search across participating relays? (https://libp2p.io/implementations/)
Modern Monetary Theory ELIF:
1. Government can create and spend as much munny as it wants.
2. To control inflation government will just tax the population into poverty, thereby reducing demand.
3. Deficits don't matter, since the government can make as much munny as it wants.
4. After taxing the population into poverty, government will ensure full employment by offering everyone a centrally planned government funded job paid with their unlimited munny.
Sounds a lot like, the "You will own nothing and be happy" economy to me.
What logic is that? Just get out and buy self-custody BTC or a lower fee ETF (if it's a retirement account) - you'll get the same ride up in the future.

#grayscale is going to have to drop their fee on GBTC to <.5% or they will be redemption selling all that #Bitcoin as investors move to the others who are offering low or no fees.
Trust us.
I'm not touching Melania until it hits 1 billion trillion 20 million.

Don't ever give anything except fiat for those ETFs.
The #Fed thinks they are an #all-powerful force, but #Bitcoin #21MM is an #immovable-object. We're finally going to get the answer that immovable object beats all powerful force. #hohohodl happy holidays!
Merry Christmas! #hohohodl
In the year's twilight, a wish rings clear,
For Bitcoin's growth, its path to steer.
Adoption widespread, from cities to towns,
May its benefits echo, breaking down all frowns.
Through wallets secure and seamless trades,
May Bitcoin's reach in daily life cascade.
From merchants to users, let trust ignite,
Happy holidays as Bitcoin takes flight!
Real Bitcoiners don't "wait for permission ". GTFO.
If you don't pour your 401k into it there's no other way to have a Bitcoin 401k... or am I missing anything?
Complicated if you want to run a routing node, but easy if you run it as a wallet node.
Not yoor noode not yoor sats, ser!
Get a good used vehicle that has no internet connectivity in it and keep up with the maintenance on it for the rest of your days. Not only will you keep some privacy, you will stack more sats.
Together we stand united!
Curious to hear more about this idea. Let's take this discussion offline.
The revolution will fail if we expect it to win and stop fighting. Are you a #bitcoiner? Then let's fix it, because nobody else will.
And we can build in incentives ... LN and zaps make this possible.
The end of walled gardens owned by big-tech. Freedom and a chance for a better future for humanity.
I've also been thinking about this. Relays should be in a p2p DHT and index and retrieve hashes of notes and pubkeys for each other.

"We have no interest in causing confusion, mistakes, or deception. That sounds more like a job for those responsible for telling the market they wouldn’t raise rates after a massive monetary expansion, and then went on to raise them faster than at any time in U.S. financial history." -- Mark Goodwin

Absolutely ridiculous that the government would sure a press organization for parody of the government. This should go nowhere fast.
“No one is immune from such attacks," said Belyaiev. "In theory, a specialist with my level of expertise could plan and execute an operation to liquidate the first persons of any European state ... Pandora's box is open.”
“It is almost impossible to shoot it down," he said. "Only a net can help. And I predict that soon we will have to put up such nets above our cities, or at least government buildings, all over Europe.”

These asymmetric war economics are nothing new. It's why the Stinger missile was so popular in Afghanistan in the 1980s. Watch (or better yet, read) Charlie Wilson's War if you want to learn about it and be entertained.
