The #Fediverse is the network, NOSTR is one of its protocols

"A surge in gold shipments to the US has led to a shortage of bullion in London, as traders amass an $82bn stockpile in New York over fears of #Trump administration #tariffs. The wait to withdraw bullion stored in the Bank of England’s vaults has risen from a few days to between four and eight weeks, according to people familiar with the process, as the central bank struggles to keep up with demand." https://archive.ph/MmtgT

One of the best lines I've ever heard:

>"I have difficulty understanding how a member of the bar could state unequivocally that this is a constitutional order," the Reagan-appointed judge told an attorney for the Trump administration.

I don't consider myself a car guy, but I have worked in automotive 20 years. I like to say I work for Ford that's why I drive a Chevy. Oh, and Suzuki may well be the worst car ever made. If take a Yugo most any day over that.

Oh great.... You know #Trump is going to take credit for tracking the #China #gdp https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/china-s-economy-faces-historic-setback-not-seen-in-over-half-a-century/ar-AA1xmGLv but who is actually hurt by #deflation? What's wrong with needing fewer of one thing to buy the same of another? Isn't deflation what gives #bitcoin it's value?

that's your problem. You need to be using #emacs. Vi Vi Vi is the editor of the devil.

Well I bought #Bitcoin today for the first time in my life. Usually whenever I have thought about it before I just get depressed because of telling my wife that it was too late to get into #crypto back in like 2013 when the rate was like $100/BTC. AFter being on #Nostr a while now I really want to get into the #Zap game and help #stack to lube the system to keep going. Getting #purplepilled is what got me #orangepilled :)

data use

any recommendations on how to pick which relays I use?

awww...and I thought Nostr was just slow like Tor

You should avoid using URL shorteners and #QR codes. This should be obvious to any of the #security conscious #nostrich. You need to at least have some idea where a link will send you. People use shortened URLs to obscure the target website and lure others into scammy or spammy pages, or even sites containing malware. If I wanna steal your data, it’s easy to put a sticker over the MENU QR code at your local restaurant.
