Last Notes npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 It’s true. I use AI all the time because I have no talent. 🤷🏻♂️ I just see it as a creative and mental prosthesis. I’m ok with that. Sorry if that bothers you. npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 @npub12xy…vqut npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Can you explain this in more detail? Because to me it absolutely is a made-up thing that we created. There is no money in the material universe other than what we conceive of in our minds. npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Checkout Konsensus Network and the 21 Futures project npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 I have a soft spot for some of Greg Egan’s work like Permutation City, Diaspora, and short story collections like Axiomatic and Luminous. Highly recommended for sci-fi that really makes you think and sticks with you. npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Such a stupid and pointless fight which was added just so Jet Li had a significant fight scene. Text book example of a terrible fight scene, which is perhaps why you raise it? npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Boating accident? npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Should get in touch with the 21 Futures people https://21futures.com npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 https://21futures.com Deadline for the 2nd anthology has already passed, but I’m sure they’d make an exception for a short story from you npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 You’re missing the point. People interact with a protocol through the app. The app is what they know, what they’re familiar with. They know nothing of the protocol. Because the most popular apps are likely to be accessed through wall gardens that invites control and censorship. Nostr app developers such as yourself already experienced this with the Apple App Store. Nostr does a better job of it compared to Facebook and Twitter, but it’s not immune to the centralising forces of brand, convenience, and network effects. npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 I hope something like this becomes the foundation of the internet to host all of the content in a way that can’t be stopped Decentralised CDN to host websites, stores, media etc. Think Silk Road that can’t be shutdown and there’s no webmaster to arrest. It’s just a stack of protocols npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Ada: Doesn’t make the top 10 npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 When is someone going to develop a protocol that combines Bitcoin and Torrents to incentivise decentralised content storage and delivery… npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 i.e. you can’t change supply, but you can increase demand npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 The Twitter bird grew into an ostrich npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 The triad of the digital economy Bitcoin/Lightning /\ /__\ AI Nostr npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 That’s what she said npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 And with that context you realise that you’re always buying low npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 I really feel this. All the normies I know think Bitcoin is just another asset to be traded at the right time. They can’t get their head around Saylor’s idea of it being pristine, low maintenance capital that you hold simply to store wealth… forever npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 My friend was shocked to hear that I rawdog running Just me, my thoughts, and the next step npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Isn’t that exactly how nostr works though? Relays are like nodes, notes are like transactions in the mempool? As long as there are enough nodes/relays it’s difficult/impossible to shutdown the whole network. Right? npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Because it an inherently subjective topic, and so your conception of what’s “wrong” is very different from someone else’s npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 “This all sounds too good to be true” Don’t despair, with your friend saying that there might be a chance the seed was planted. The impending bull market is fertile soil for it to thrive in npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 I’m hopeful about nostr, but I feel like this is rose coloured glasses during the honeymoon period before it becomes mainstream There was similar positive sentiment during the early Internet when it was just the early adopters, and then we saw a gradual shift as the mainstream came online Maybe it will be different with nostr, decentralisation, and changed incentives, but I remain cautious yet hopeful npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Hey friend, I know things seem scary right now but… Things are going to get way worse npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Hope they self-custodied and consolidated UTXOs… npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Depends on the app/client I can see the emoji on Damus, but not Primal npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 I enjoyed Project Hail Mary audiobook, if you like hard sci-fi like The Martian (same author) npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 I guess, choose your relay operators carefully then? Or just run your own relay? npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Can we just stop for a minute and appreciate that there’s an entire unregulated online economy and money transmitters operating outside of the purview of any government and there’s nothing they can do to stop it npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Can’t fix it Centralised platforms like X are fundamentally broken Open and decentralised protocols like nostr are the future Front end application removes a feature you value on nostr? Drop it and use a different app No such choice with sites like X npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Stuff like this is just the beginning Bitcoin, LN, and potentially other L2s are going to fix the Internet with a free flowing digitally native money npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 #Bitcoin npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Another paradox: You can trust Bitcoin because it’s trustless npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 I feel this is particularly bad for those who value constructive criticism, but need to sift through the toxicity to find it. Would be easier to just ignore everyone, but then you miss the diamonds in the rough. npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 I opened the dishwasher and it was just a bunch of clean dishes waiting to be put away npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 "what do i desire?" i can't even answer that, other than a vague notion of "create beauty", but maybe that's enough to get started... npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Sad to hear that. I really like your work and wish I could afford to support it npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 I think the other important part of agnosticism is to be passionately uncertain about the *definition* of god, which plays a large part in the uncertainty of existence/nonexistence npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 A statistical analysis of “crises” over the years would be interesting Is there a correlation with “anxiety inducing events” and election cycles? Or maybe some other cycle? npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Enjoy it while it lasts It’s like the early internet npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Sell the plum so they buy the orange? ;) npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 US govt should adopt Bitcoin as a reserve asset and subsidise energy generation and mining to ensure write access to the ledger npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 If they’re smart they’d run their own cluster of nostr relays and leverage its existing network effects npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 I’ve been thinking the same thing Feels like people have been very loose with doxxing themselves on nostr npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Pepe! npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Everyone cares about price because it’s a fairly good indicator of purchasing power, and that’s the main thing people hodl Bitcoin for The faster purchasing power increases the earlier I can retire from my fiat mining job npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Netflix is dying I’d say nostr is more like torrenting npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 What’s a better word to use here than “account”? Doesn’t seem to fit the way nostr works, but I can’t think of a better term npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 They’ll find a way to make money out of the effort people put into this for free, they’re just slow on the uptake npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 They’ll gravitate towards large, well-connected relays that manage the safe space for them npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 This might seem obvious to everyone else, but it just occurred to me that the permissionless nature of nostr means that people can’t be doxxed by a court order npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Central bankers It will free them from the prison they’ve created for themselves and everyone else npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 ⚡️@⚡️ npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 It really is the best choice All the other options are “cute” or “quirky”, but ⚡️ is the simplest, most practical, and most meaningful one npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Bitcoin npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 I want this emoji on a shirt 🤙 npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 ⚡️@⚡️ npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Sorry, 2386 npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Added all the same relays you are connected to and the number jumped up to 2836 npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 That’s what I was alluding to npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 I can see 853 on your profile npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Yeah, but what if 87% of Bitcoin holders like it and don’t think it’s dumb?

Political alignment is not something your ARE, it should depend on the topic discussed. The one topic I would describe myself as staunchly libertarian on is bodily autonomy. That is a fundamental level of freedom that I won’t budge on. For wont of a better word, it is “sacred” So on that topic I’m “libertarian”, but am I libertarian in general? No. On other topics I might take a more authoritarian stance 🤷🏻♂️ npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 There’s a thread of libertarianism that is closer to authoritarianism i.e. freedom for me, but not for thee And I think that turns people off Also the problem of negative externalities leaves a bad taste in the mouth At the end of the day people also have the free will as individuals to coordinate as a collective in a common goal. Seems contradictory as a libertarian to be against people’s freedom to do that I think for the libertarian movement to be successful they should discard the mountain man fantasy and instead focus on attacking big government in favour of smaller government Luckily Bitcoin is the perfect tool for this and allows non-libertarians to coalesce around a libertarian goal npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Nostr has the advantage of bootstrapping itself on top of the established Bitcoin community And Bitcoin did it on top of the cypherpunks npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 also HN is very strongly left leaning, while Bitcoin advocates are typically right leaning… put them together and you get fireworks npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 https://www.citadel21.com/why-the-yuppie-elite-dismiss-bitcoin npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 I’m no expert but my understanding is that relays provide resilience through redundancy, as your last part eludes to On mastodon you can still find yourself at the mercy of one person or a small group of people running a server npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 This honeymoon period is fun, but the best bit comes when people start building npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Digital and social pioneers npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 Some benefits of a decentralised web I hadn’t considered… No ads, no cookie popups, no GDPR popups It’s nice… who knows what other benefits will emerge from decentralised Internet services npub10k0zrnsujm856xrvx7ftw2m66xsx39em620slh4eecympt5833pq97rf0x decentmoney2009 i don’t think relays talk to each other.
