Any #pickleball players here? I love it.
I'm relatively new to racquet sports - a fair bit of racquetball years ago, only played tennis a handful of times. Pickleball is great because it's accessible to beginners, but still a long road to mastery.https://m.primal.net/KQGL.png

It was a very interesting perspective, I hadn't thought about the impact of the terminal block reward -- and the importance of simply "getting there" with an intact stack.
Slight disagree: if you're saying 37 sats is "generational wealth" or however you want to classify it, that would still be happening 144 times a day. So it's probably more on the order of 5k sats that will be the level of wealth your talking about

Key observation: the conditions of the last 40-50 years no longer exist, so the things that worked so well before (real estate, stocks, etc) are not going to work so well going forward.
Buy #bitcoin and educate yourself.

Even for them, there are far more important concerns than bitcoin. Let's not make the mistake of elevating bitcoin to be more than it is -- it is the best money ever invented, but money is just a tool for social coordination. Good money will help to improve many societal ills that are currently symptoms of corrupt money, but good money will not fix everything.
I happen to believe there are higher order concerns (things of eternal nature), but even if you are strictly focused on civil society, we need to foster virtue to have any chance of long-term success.

bitcoin signal on nostr is good, though it feels very bro club. twitter still has far more useful content in other domains, including the opportunity to be exposed to things outside the echo chamber

Bitcoin uses human greed to reinforce incentives, but it is hubris to say this human invention is immune to humans. It's still a very young technology, lots of building and cultivating to happen to make it win

I'm very much on team bitcoin, but it's premature to declare it the ultimate winner -- "nothing else will" is a bit hyperbolic. Nothing else that's currently on the landscape comes close to bitcoin, but let's not repeat the mistakes of the past, thinking "this time is different".

"nostr will end up like email,,," - are you giving up already? What tools are available to make that less likely? Paid relays are should help, but that still means it is likely to centralize over time.
Maybe relays become more focused on specific topics, and you choose the specific ones you want to pay for like a la carte cable.
Then how do you get serendipitous exposure to new content and communities?

got down to -9F last night, after a high of 50F the day before. Had to bump the Whatsminers up to high power mode to keep up (normally run in low power, and have to keep windows open).
One thing about hashing for home heating is the response time is pretty slow -- if you let things get out of a comfortable range, it can take a while to heat back up. The heat is constant, but it's low grade, so it takes a while to warm the house.

nostr is just reaching the threshold of being usable, much improved in the couple of weeks I've been here. Desktop clients > mobile clients (android), at least in my experience.
I still find twitter to be better for discovery, being exposed to new topics and ideas. Nostr as a whole is still far too niche, but the trend is positive.
And zips >> likes, though likes still have a place.

I hate the garbage that is now forever part of the blockchain data -- but that's my judgement of the data, bitcoin doesn't care.
I'm neutral regarding blocks being full and fees being up. As a miner that's nice. As a lightning node operator, it's annoying. It's just the new normal, we've been spoiled by a period of very low fees and empty mempools.
I feel relatively positive about the increased energy that has come in the last few weeks and the potential for a new wave of bitcoiners. Come for monkey jpegs, stay for the revolution.

"This existence of a record that everyone can agree on, and that can’t be altered or cheated is very useful to humans. Humans disagree about many things, and many try to cheat others. But I cannot tell a lie or have a different record for different people. Imagine everyone completely agreeing on something. I am that. And that’s apparently very useful to many people."

Starting a 100 day challenge today - 100 pushups, 100 squats, 10k steps. Not because those amounts are particularly challenging, but because I need the consistency.
