The issue with celebrities is that people who are new to the platform need to start from somewhere. Build a social graph. And the algorithm asked them to tick their favorite football player and a politician and a pop star and offered more celebs from there and people got a wrong idea of what Twitter is about.
I agree that really changed the culture. I hear on Instagram so many people grow profiles as a job and continue to game the algorithm to grow reach.
Both are not guaranteed to happen on nostr because there is no one algorithm that can be gamed apart from circle zapping farms potentially.
But users can just not extract signal from zapping amounts by using a different aggregator to explore notes. There’s a chance that this time it’s different.

Why

2024-01-22 11:24:45

Lately I keep loosing my dog and he likes swimming in the ocean so the AirTags that use to track him keep breaking from salt water immersion.
I need to teach him that home is where your motorbike is parked. Hopefully he gets it today.
Or he is a lost puppy.

My dog is the only foreigner in this goddamn tourist ghetto that I want to have a conversation with.

How would a nostr device look like? There have been der vices that have only been useful for tweeting. They can be with global data coverage in GSM networks and has a physical keyboard. That would be so fun to have.

It’s 2030. You have the equivalent of $20 million in your hardware wallet and you borrow $10000 against it to buy a used Honda Civic. But the car dealers bank can not accept your payment because the funds originate from a mixing service. What do you do?

Yes but it’s not the experience I was hoping for. The website is really just a proof of concept as I mentioned. You wanted feedback. My feedback is that it’s maybe actually too early to sell your content like this for now. I’m not mad or anything. I’m happy to read that Damus is about to get trippier soon tho! Maybe I helped pointing out the need :)

I still couldn’t get it to work. The only client that supports creatr subscriptions is for Android and I’m using iOS. The web interface is just a proof of concept.

You need to have Bitcoin already then. No tool for onboarding then. And since I setup my Phoenix a year ago I also didn’t even remember that I paid something. Maybe it would have been enough to send her a normal Bitcoin transaction and the opening fee would have been deducted? Not sure if the app told her that. When I asked for her address she sent me the node id from the settings screen at first.

Arguably those complex L2 are here because the payment rails don’t want us to connect. I’ll write a blog post about it.

Try to imagine you have an allergy and you get the same idea. Gluten is in everything nowadays, because it hides in sirup thats used as sweetener (when sugar is too expensive). Fructose is in everything because it’s in sugar. Sugar is in everything because it’s cheap calories. The rest is wheat flour. Apart from fresh vegetables and rice there’s little to find for me.

I gave away a little bitcoin to a friend and asked her to install phoenix.
She’s not technical but remote debugging didn’t get me closer to figure why it’s not possible to send her a lightning transaction.
I didn’t want to take chances and sent her wrapped BTC on Solana. I think it’s okay there until we meet again.
And frankly it’s like an ETF but better.

Just bought an ebook called Bitcoin Evangelism. I had no option to pay with Bitcoin. So I used a credit card as adapter to insert my sats.
Now I’m waiting for a SMS that contains information about how to get my ebook after the transaction gots cleared I suspect.
Feeling scammed already.

How much is 2% of all central bank reserves? Since they are the ones who move prices the easiest assumption to make would be to choose a number for free float available to central banks for purchase and set that equal to 2% of global reserves and extrapolate a target price.
A quick search car up with $44 trillions. That’s $882 billions that needs to be represented in Bitcoin holdings for central banks to meet that target in 2025. Let’s assume 20% of all Bitcoin are available for sale.
That means for CB to hold 2% on their balance sheet in BTC after buying all available float the market cap has to reach $4.4 trillion.
That’s 5x from here assuming no other buyers as a baseline estimate for 2025.

Apple abandoned it when it felt old fashioned. I personally liked it but I'm not sure if I need a leather texture or plastic cards in my wallet. I think of Asia where money stinks and qr codes pay everything.

I keep meditating to stop those conversations in my head where I prepare insults and expressions of hate towards the guy who reported me to my host this morning. It's a really good exercise.
I think I hate him for everything that I can't do anymore since I decided to adopt a dog while traveling.

they also need to believe that what seems an obvious advantage for you is a desirable feature for them.
I showed someone a chart which illustrated that adjusted by money supply the us stock market continuously went down since 1929.
that's too abstract to have any practical meaning to him.

I can understand the host. I like the guy. he us humble and accommodating. A great example of an middle aged Japanese nerd. He monitors the space glancing from behind his laptop screen and takes care of small details for guests without being asked. He is running a business. I don't want to make him problems. So the only available options for actions to take would be to accept defeat in the first step or move out.

good exercise. you often run into people who take responsibility for their surroundings thinking if they don't do it then no one will but everyone is having the same opinion. they take immediate decisive action and if no one stands up to them will ultimately dictate the rules everyone has to live by.

yesterday II my airbnb my dog came back from outside searching me on the balcony when a weird guy was sitting around kn a plastic chair that he moved away from the table to position himself right under the 2 ceiling fans and then he did what everyone would do in this situation: he stared at his phone.
now my dog walked around the table to get to me passing him and tapping him with the nose. Later he asked me to keep the dog away from him because he "touched" him. I said that I'll try.
apparently after that he went straight to the host and now doggy II not allowed to walk around without a leash anymore and I'm swallowing my anger for breakfast. looking for places to move to. thinking about notes to pin at his door.
