Last Notes npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 As a non technical person, this is how I presented see it too. Comparing with bitcoin it seems as though relays play a role which could be likened to the role miners play. For a decentralised social network to work they would need to be rewarded the work they do in storing data and responding to requests. A cost which ultimately must be paid for by users. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 It's very shit, that's for sure. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Thyanks for the heads up npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Lessons from History.

Now zero. Unfortunately the West's current cohort of political leaders lack the skills needed to deal with the current challenges. Things will get worse before new leaders appear. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Respect your thoughts and I am inclined to agree with your conclusion, that the west has little appetite for any direct confrontation. But what happens thereafter? This is not necessarily the end, and while we might hope for a peace, it's equally conceivable that our idiot leaders will make things worse. Geography and history can tell us a lot about how these matters might unfold, but I am always cautious about making theories on complex issues. We neither understand the reliablility of what we think we know and don't know what we don't know. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 This would look great printed 3x2 meters npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 #photography #blackandwhite https://m.primal.net/HwPa.jpg npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 #photography #b&w https://m.primal.net/HsOZ.jpg npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 #photography Cock Clough https://m.primal.net/HlNr.jpg npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 This does them justice.👍 npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 #photography https://m.primal.net/HhIG.jpg npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 This is quite a profound statement, touching on the infinite nature and creativity of the human psyche which you appear to have captured in the nostr protocol. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 I love that image. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Fiat News npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 #photography https://m.primal.net/HdQu.jpg npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Are you sure? npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 When I myself am transformed, that is proof of work. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Bottom rhs is mesmerising. Personally I like to see the natural context in which the image was taken, just adds something. thank you. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 #photography https://m.primal.net/HaWV.jpg npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 #photography https://m.primal.net/HZVI.jpg npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 from 'On the Nature of Psyche' npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Felt like quoting this from #jung today. In a world full of polarisation where many firmly believe they are aware of their individuality, where in truth I think "individuals are equal only in so far as they are in large measure unconscious of their actual differences." The quote implies we each see the world through our own lens but are unconscious that everyone elses lens is different from ours. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 #photography https://m.primal.net/HYBa.jpg npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Disney+ supports tyranny not freedom, watch by all means. but watch in moderation. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Wall Street don't need to or want to own bitcoin. They just need to convince the majority of people that they own bitcoin, which is what etf's represent and pretty soon they will control most of the flow, which is all they were ever interested in. They have no interest in fighting, it's not how these people operate, nor in what self custody bitcoiners do on the sidelines. To see this as a fight, is to have already lost. This doesn't stop amazing things from being created in the sidelines, including the tools which will help you and other like minded people to live and survive in a less fiat money world. Staying clear minded is the fight. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Amazing npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Sorry but I think Google are preparing for a war event. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 I interpret his tweet to be about protecting against censorship and maintaining access to all, I might be wrong. Agree it's very clumsy and admit I also once paid to hear his views, until it seems his success went to his head. When you realise someone is not for you, don't waste energy, just move away. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Thank you. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Today I confirmed my decision to retire from the business I've part owned with my business partner for the past 10 years, a business I invested 10 years of my life into building. So to feel like I've failed is very strange, but that's how it is right now. In time this feeling will pass and something new will emerge. Onwards. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Interesting read on LLM's https://www.epsilontheory.com/an-ai-in-the-city-of-god/ npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 We/you are already on the list, even if your bitcoin isn't (yet). But the road and task ahead does not change, we are simply more aware. Keep doing what you are doing. Clear eyes, full hearts.

Your talk was very real. Thank you npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Indeed, they already have. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Okay not replace all but whatever is built must be resilient and it must survive. My main point is to highlight that monetization, in my humble opinion, increases competition and reduces cooperation. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Nostr/Bitcoin are still at the very very beginning of a long journey. One which will require those people with vision to sacrifice their time and creative energy. To monetize too soon may be detrimental to the overall project if it reduces cooperation, which is still vital while the basic plumbing is still being developed. No one should underestimate the scale of the endeavour, which is in essence to replace a financial system which was built over hundreds of years. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Who constructed such monuments? Very different - my apologies npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 I live in UK btw npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Message from Thebes to nostr. Who constructed such a monument? https://m.primal.net/HVQr.jpg npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 This years Christmas Present https://m.primal.net/HVQq.jpg npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Decentralisation is the long term advantage but is the short term constraint and consequently nostr will take time to evolve because it will be expanding in all directions at the same time. There will be winners and losers along the way and these will be decided by many factors, including plain old good luck. Patience and perseverance will be key. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 I'm a 'regular' user and now you feel my pain and I welcome your openness to posting about how difficult it is to work nostr out. I hope the community listens. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 That will be my decision, not yours. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Nostr is hard to comprehend full stop. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Another dumb question? So I get that I have a private key, but I don't know how to keep it secure, or at least I'm not confident that I I'll be able to keep it secure because it's not clear to me when it's safe to use it because how do I know if an app I'm inputing it into is genuine. So just like X, but for different reasons, nostr just seems equally unappealing as a place to invest in, because in nostr' case it seems almost inevitable that, at scale, the average user is going to loose control of their private key. I can't square this circle and nostr will not scale imo until it resolves these fundamental usability questions for the 'regular' user. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Dumb question. if I enter my private key into primal.net on another devise, how do I know if this is secure? Does primal now have my private key? npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Thank you for replying. I'm am on the outside looking in but I'm interested to see how nostr evolves and so see whether the nostr community philosophy manages to a meaningful impact in the real world. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 Maybe wechat is what some people want? npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 What is the compelling reason for people to use nostr? I am feeling it but I'm not seeing it. npub1hf9rnm4ssuf4y30zhs3x0k38yj555p6yxaft3zaqcdfnmhumf34sd8z24s jqw22 What is the point of Ln if I can't buy anything?
