Bernie? Fuck off. RFK jr? Don’t kid yourself. “We know what’s best”. Bitcoin? Not in our house. Disgusting. This party really needs a re-brand because every stunt they pull is far from “democratic”. npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Let’s hope so. It would be an epic way to burn $44B or whatever it was npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj This is 100% going to happen to a lot of projects on Nostr too. Which is why we should at least be considering FOSS licenses like MPL in lieu of MIT where possible… npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Thx for the reminder… npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Yeezy once he realizes he can’t be banned npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Although I share your ideals- how would this work more specifically? Some tokenization that settles periodically in a federated system like Liquid? Stocks are shares of companies that exist in legal frameworks formed and enforced by state powers. Ownership rights of these shares are also enforced by the state. Who enforces the global ownership rights of shareholders even if we use bitcoin for transaction settlement? Who do I sue when a company doesn’t honor my shareholder rights… and under what court? How is bankruptcy handled and by who? There’s a lot to solve for here if you want to make something better than what has evolved to this point. — This is a comment on: https://yakihonne.com/flash-news/nevent1qqs0cmpnlpxc9xjqsse24tztvpvgnusmlxww32ejzfmphvqtt5ug7mqzyzmejmqc8cpkmuncq229hq9mmj9shavhrdnzr2rt7dtfcvepzlc86qcyqqqqqqgygyw2k npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj 100%. @npub1yzv…rf8q has a good feature here showing sent/received on profile pages (maybe others do as well?).

Highly interested in these discussions happening here. #nostronly npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj I agree the efforts are largely impotent, especially outside of the US like you said. The only condition I’m interested in is putting up a roadblock for parties that want to take something open source and make closed source iterations. The MPL seems to fit this pretty well- basically similar to MIT except attempts to force future iterations to be open-source. No offense, but MIT is literally using the state to actively give up your rights. I don’t see how that furthers the cypherpunk cause vs. something like the MPL. npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj In the spirit of alt content: here’s a wholesome photo of a golden duck we’ve watched grow from a baby.

Nice work npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj I guess as a follow up to this, if the state wanted to stifle your project by sponsoring a competitor, and/or even co-opt your project… twisting it for their purposes, aren’t you making it easier for that to happen with a license that allows follow up work to be closed source? npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj I totally get where you’re coming from. I struggle with this because I see the conflict as open source vs. closed source instead of state vs. xyz. I’d like to use the state to our advantage where possible- but tell me what I’m not seeing… npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Thx npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Nostr is the only one starting as an open protocol (that I know of). npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj What free open source licenses are folks here using for their projects? Benefits/drawbacks? Curious on the takes of the community here. npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Got sent this from a friend who used to work at Polymarket: npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj This mic drop is extra saucy with her voice and accent npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj They respond to lagging data, but the market responds to them. When they finally see a slowdown and start to cut, the market takes the cue and waits for further cuts, which slows activity further… npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Spitznagel’s warning from November 2023: you should start worrying when the fed cuts rates. npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Hold out hope 💙 npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj I mean she got all zero scores and Australia got embarrassed on the world stage.

Maybe it should be slightly dangerous. There’s no skin in the game in traditional social media. npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj This might be exactly why we don’t want across the board NIP-09 enforcement. Idiots exposing themselves and not being able to undo it is a pretty useful feature. npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Gotta love the @npub1qny…95gx zap that highlights this being a troll and/or moron, baller move npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj There could be a compromise here. 100% effective NIP-09 “enforcement” seems technically impossible and might even set a strange precedent if enforced by some group on here (even a well liked one). npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Screenshots effectively make this moot in centralized ones too npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj If you ever want to purple pill someone who can handle reading, see below. npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Whoa npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Transactions secure the network.

Our participation makes this place grow! Cheers npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Yes pls npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj He definitely tapped into a stifled desire and seemed to make an effort to support it. The problem is it’s “free speech” only on his terms. Go and try to link a Substack article over there. Probably already blocking nostr links too. I can’t say whether or not your opinion is right, but long term it will all drive to open protocols as we find out there’s no heroes in this game. npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj “In a later book, The Clock Of The Long Now, Stewart Brand applied the idea of shearing layers—or pace layers—to civilisation itself. The slowest moving layer is nature, then there’s culture, followed by governance, then infrastructure, and finally commerce and fashion are the fastest layers. In a loosely‐coupled way, each layer depends on the layer below.” - https://resilientwebdesign.com/chapter5/ npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj First of many I’m sure 👊🏼 npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Celebrate these transitions.

Hodling isn’t enough. #zap zap baby. npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj You’re damn right there is! Congrats npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj As soon as it leaves a hard money standard I suppose they might say to themselves, “we’ll pay it back sometime” or “it will be worth it” which are ultimately lies so not sure how you can start being honest from there. I’m sure there’s honest people within the system somewhere, but I’d argue a naive actor within a fundamentally dishonest system doesn’t make them truly honest. npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj I always remember the scene in Narcos where they were fixing an election. By gaming the results and announcing them from one early reporting area, they hoped to discourage voters from participating in later reporting districts. This is the same game. npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Honest fiat brokers npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Tough one npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj I repeat: more #bitcoin buyers below $50k than there are S&P buyers below $5k npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Purple pilled someone this evening - got them on @primal ez pz npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj If your unit of measure is dollars i then sure whatever, but the word “value” is a lot broader- especially because I’m talking about timelines longer than the dollar has even existed. Before modern Finance 201 or Econ 101. Gold was once the base unit of measure as were other things. Bitcoin may one day be. USDT etc are literally promises to a unit on a ledger. That’s not a store of value in any sense of the word outside of these textbooks you’re referring to. You could also say they sold out of Tether into Bitcoin. Everything is relative to your base unit of choice. npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj Thank you npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 ericfj This is called hedging your bets and it would be smart for Bitcoiners to continue to engage the party they don’t think will/should win
