Noticing that people often answer my replies like they were Notes. Probably something can be done better with the UX to make it clearer

tl;dr Nostr CEO does not exist.

Nostr CEO is in all of us, that part of you that says ✊out with the old, in with the new.

If it isn’t clear, there’s no individual Nostr CEO, we the collective bunch that make up Nostr are all the Nostr CEO. There’s no Nostr Inc. or Nostr HQ so no need to apply for a job.

I personally think it is hilarious to personify that sentiment in all of us.

I will concede that if no one actually cares, then concerns regarding fungibility are moot. I guess it doesn’t matter…until it matters.

yep, given how many sats are out there, it seems very unlikely that more than a fraction will matter more than BTC’s fungibility, so I think we’ll find a natural equilibrium. And the fraction that will, will reduce supply of “fungible BTC” thus increasing the price.

U.S. charges Nostr CEO with money laundering: authorities have accused the little-known platform of laundering funds tied to illicit zapping but have not being able to arrest its founder.

The U.S. Justice Department and Treasury Department have charged Nostr CEO with money laundering, officials said at press conference in Washington during the Super Bowl.

The Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) formally labeled Nostr Inc. a "primary money-laundering concern," which is among the most serious sanctions in the government's criminal-fighting arsenal because it usually cuts off a business off from the global financial system. FinCEN said the company played a key role in handling illicit transactions for actors worldwide, involving $1,000,000,000,000 in direct and and indirect transfers in the last year.

Nostr CEO commented: "GLHF" and "WE WON 🏆 " in two separate posts.

#Fungibility is the property of a good or a commodity whose individual units are essentially interchangeable, and each of whose parts is indistinguishable from any other part.

Listening to a lot of #bitcoin podcasts trying to understand #ordinals and their ramifications. Nearly all are saying ordinals don’t affect fungibility, then move the discussion to block size, miners fees, etc. w/o giving any further explanation.

But according to the ordinals website, all 2.1 quadrillion sats can be identified, numbered and tracked, presumably making them distinguishable (vs. indistinguishable).

Who can provide additional clarity on ordinals and fungibility? Any resources you can point to would be helpful.

I think it’s a matter of who cares and what’s the use case. If the value of the Bitcoin network keeps rising, the people who care about transferring value across the internet will outweigh those that care about the value associated to a sat. Essentially, if no one really cares about the uniqueness of your sat, it returns back to fungibility, correct?

Can you point to some of the companies working on it?

I know a lot of people here don’t approve, but what’s the best podcast on #ordinals so far?

"Did you know that when Bitcoin went from $ 17,000 to $ 3,000, 86% of the people who owned it to $ 17,000 never sold it?" Druckenmiller replied: Well, that was huge in my mind. So, here is something with a finite offer and 86% of the owners are religious fanatics.

Yes. Google “Apple tattoo” and you will not find more than a handful of people who have tattooed the logo of the most iconic company of our time. Then google “Bitcoin tattoo”… fanatics indeed

This is something I have been asking about. I’ve been told that you don’t take your followers with you which, if true is not ideal because it creates huge moats for individual clients
