Last Notes npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Julian Assange is free. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth I’d zap more if there was more nostr-only content worth zapping. As I’ve mentioned a few times, I don’t see how you can grow nostr without more content creators coming here. It’s not convenient to always swap between twitter and nostr, and there is much more content over on twitter that I like to read about. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth https://m.primal.net/IKau.jpg npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth lmao npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Bring in a ton more content creators on nostr. You can create as many features as you want for users, but until you manage to bring people who create content on nostr, it’ll stay a niche social network whom main selling points like decentralization and censorship resistance just do not appeal enough by themselves to the average joe. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth As jack said, it’s totally unnecessary to leave the US for companies like Acinq… Whether or not Block did anything wrong, it’ll nonetheless cost millions in litigation. Nobody wants to deal with this shit. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth I find it hard to lift heavy deadlifts everyday.

So they actually know that Bitcoin isn’t free to use, even on WoS. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth So Bitcoin not being free to use shouldn’t be a surprise to WoS users. 🤷♂️ npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth They still need to fund their WoS to begin with though. 🤷♂️ npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth WoS charges 0.5% when funding the wallet with onchain BTC, so I'm pretty sure they know it. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth The ressources given would depend on the amount this person is looking to buy medium-term, and their technical level. Along with the ressources, a good wallet is primordial. -Play money/discovering Bitcoin : Wallet of Satoshi -Some money/Diving into the rabbit hole about bitcoin : Green Wallet from Blockstream (nontechnical), or a Coldcard if they want to play with a hardware wallet. -Serious money/Life Savings : If they're technical, a multisig setup with coldcards/tapsigners/etc. is great. If nontechnical, nunchuk is also great, or casa as a last resort. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth "Also, many people will get emotional this cycle.

Or “Show me the 50 most liked post from my followers over the past month.” Would be infinitely better than any blackboxed algorithm. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth This is the way. 😊 npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Twitter hasn't been a public town square since Elon took over and de facto shadow-banned all non-KYC'ed users, aka blue checks. The "For You" algo is broken beyond repairs, and all discussions to have our own "custom" algos vanished. The $1 "test run" to limit bots is laughable in an era where VPNs can be accessed for free. On top of that, many scams come from blue-checked accounts, and 90% of my ads are blue-checked scams. Lastly, money is dished out to "influencers" based on engagement, but there is no auditable record to see how much, when and why money was sent to whom. Thus it's possible these payouts are used to mute/amplify/buy-out certain people. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Even @npub1xts…kk5s reactivated his Twitter account after having "deleted" it. People are free to do what the fuck they want with their lives. I cannot take seriously someone recommending to do X, when they do not actually do X themselves. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Your Twitter account is not deleted though. What are you waiting? npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Sir, did you not update your GroupThink™ software ? "TheCurrentThing.exe" is currently running version 2023.10.3 ; your Ukrainian flags have now been replaced by Israeli or Palestinian flags, depending on your political allegiance. A penalty of 10 points will be applied to your SocialScore™ due to you not being up to date. The military-industrial-complex-state thanks you for your cooperation. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth I use the "following" feed only on Twitter. It's like a curated newsfeed with only people and subjects I care about. That's about the only use you can get out of Twitter today, esp. since all non-blue checks are basically invisible. And I never, ever use the "For You" feed. It shows what you described (hate, violence, etc...) and is built to trigger you, keep you engaged with useless BS, and doomscrolling until your eyes bleed and your brain rot. Fuck what Twitter has become, long live #nostr. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth “What do you think would be a good avenue to strike a truce, spare civilians lives, and try to achieve world peace? -More battle anthems!” 🙄 npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth No, thank you. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Then there’s no point having a discussion, but have a nice day. 🙂 npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth You still calculate your net worth in Fiat if “price” is your wealth metric. Thus you assume it either always goes up, or goes down then up (higher than your average purchase price). This means you are right under your set of circumstances in both cases if the goal is to have a Bitcoin price higher than your average fiat price. But what happens if the fiat price goes down, and keeps going down? Or goes down, then stays flat and doesn’t even follow monetary inflation and price inflation? You do not address this, even though I understand you believe “Bitcoin game theory” will prevail… npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Ok. 😁 npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Your wealth cannot go up and down at the same time, however you measure it (fiat price, or purchasing power). 🤷♂️ npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Your Sats aren’t affected if you hold your private keys. The fiat price is affected. If you live under a Bitcoin standard, you shouldn’t even care about any of this. If you’re still hoping to convert your Sats to fiat, or other goods priced in fiat, I’d encourage you to study the physical gold markets (bearer asset) and the gold derivatives markets (paper gold). npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth My initial point still is that Blackrock doesn’t play by your rules, and that whatever game theory you think exists on a Bitcoin Standard, does not apply under a Fiat Standard. Regarding chain analysis « goes both way », please point me to the public adresses of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust. It’s much older and much bigger than any existing BTC ETF so you shouldn’t have any problem finding them. Lastly, I do not need to address your point, since mine is just the opposite. Only time will tell what will actually happen. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth You'll have no way of knowing how much BTC is held by Blackrock because you won't have access to their public keys, and you won't have enough fiat capital to margin call them. I just laid out why Blackrock has no interest in playing by your set of rules, and so far I couldn't find a single counter argument. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth "People just got a taste of what the ETF approval will feels like." Exactly, the price pumped then dumped. If you think Blackrock is your friend and has anything to gain by pumping AND holding Bitcoin, I have a bridge to sell you. After the ETF approval, yes the price will pump, and yes it'll dump later. Blackrock & Friends live and thrive on a fiat Standard, where the money supply is unlimited, and where they benefit disproportionately from the system through political lobbying, Cantillon effet, and price manipulation. Going on a Bitcoin standard (with the Bitcoin price skyrocketing, and staying there) would mean all of the above is moot, and on top of that you'd have to produce actual work to expect reaping dividends and/or interest from your capital. I wish there were more realistic and logical takes over wishful thinking, so feel free to tell me why I'm wrong. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Yo Jack ! npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth 0%. I stand with people whom hold the same principles as I do. What flag got assigned to them at birth or what flag they chose later on doesn't matter to me. Same goes for religion. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Very nice refresh. Now it looks like it's 2023, while keeping the same vibe. 😄 npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth https://image.nostr.build/6f4cabbed1b437c715a4282189b9da18370b4a273a7d0021cd48a9d5ef84995b.png npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth I think tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as not to offend the imbeciles. Come and ban me here, suckerberg. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Rug selling company partners with expert rug maker. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Better a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth That’s actually my point. Try however hard you can, you won’t beat a dude whom raised $42B in a couple of months on sheer economic power. So we better find other ways to compete against him. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Elon is buying out influencers, via rewarding them through a black box. He can basically push or mute whatever exposure he likes through this program, just by paying thoughts leaders more, or less. As you mentioned, it’s like magic, and whether we like it or not, it’s not something we can compete against on nostr. We’re not going to outbid the Fiat Rankings Leader for exposure just yet, especially while there is still no clear path to fairly pay clients builders and relay operators. I see nostr as a very long term solution (10+ years) to keep true free speech alive, short term think we should just focus on UX and education instead while nostr stays up as a life raft in case of global social media platform shutdown. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Instant buy. https://image.nostr.build/ac26217651026ece3d2d068e55a70f8f42a970388519a2d3415effd2f4a02f03.jpg npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth 💯🤣 npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Lmao what a maxi, you could have just bought an NFT of your luggage for €350 instead.

I agree with all you said regarding the digital and physical realms. However unless you spend your days preaching to every passerby (and the vast majority of them would think you are some kind of lunatic), it’s very effective to digitally handshake with strangers online, in order to arrange a physical meetup. And you can always continue to do that offline, too, by going to general conferences/meetups… npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth You don’t need to always choose violence bro. Fuck the blue checks, however not all blue checks are the same. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Why not both? How to meet people irl if you don’t have a common channel to coordinate? If the goal is to meet nostr people irl, then no problem but you’ve already won. If the goal is to bring people over here and have them abandon the panopticons, you need to first meet them where they’re at. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Why not ? If you don’t use these tools to warn people about their danger they pose to freedom and free speech, how would you actually warn them en masse ? npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth The hate of Saylor coming from shitcoiners and nocoiners alike tells us all we need to know about them. 🫡 npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth https://m.primal.net/HLxL.png npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth #beerstr 🫡☘️ https://image.nostr.build/78db2a262d738fb2c508d3a1aec19cae29198cd3338b7f6d740fbcb18870f9c4.jpg npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth https://image.nostr.build/5444b97d928b6fe171d0b3a44f3cab9035de368e1c29100c16332fa31f145bac.png npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth GM nostrrrr npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth I’d even say we could add a POW requirement in the key pairs creation, like roughly 24h of work for a median 2023 CPU ; this would deter spammers even more if they know that every time they get banned by relays they’d have to spend a day to recreate just one account. Arguably with bot farms it could go way faster than a day, but that’s still a deterrent for spammers that would only impact normal users very slightly. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Lightning, but it's "BuIlT On B🤡Se" npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth What I love about ZBD is that it really gives us the worst of both worlds: you get paid fractions of pennies to play half-baked games. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Thanks for posting such interesting stuff on nostr Dylan. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth [Rant] If you're going to sell stuff and go "Bitcoin Only" as payment method, I'm -never- giving you any sats if you generate your invoices dynamically based on the BTC/FIAT rate. The only way to have any credibility when going "Bitcoin Only" for payments is to have a price in BTC, period. You can always adjust it manually when markets are volatile and (once a month or so), but otherwise pegging your BTC price to FIAT is just virtue signaling, so there's no point to not also allow fiat payments.

As seen with the Covid Hysteria (and in plenty other subjects), the vast majority of people are just choosing the default option for anything in their lives. I had thought that with matters of health, life and death, people would step up and actually think before making a decision. But alas, even then the huge majority just complied with whatever was served to them. Let’s hope the recent lesson awakened at least a few of them. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Why 🥺 npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Nope (1.6 (17)) npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth People should just ignore them. If enough people stop caring about what dystopian bullshit politician say, then their words have no power. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth That’s the best monetary incentives under certain circumstances, however in todays market, when you compare nostr vs the “big players”, there are huge roadblocks to bring more creators : -Scale: just look at the size of the reach people get on YT, Twitter, Etc. And look at the size of the checks they get either directly from the platforms, or from their sponsors (who pay for exposure) -Bitcoin: as you rightly pointed out, not many people understand Bitcoin, or want to deal with the hassle to juggle with any currency other than their home fiat currency. And I’m not even going into the technical aspect for creators to learn, understand and apply self custody… What should be a strength is currently a weakness, imho. -Big tech reliance : as we’ve seen with Damus and a few Bitcoin apps getting hassled by Apple regarding zaps, there’s nothing guaranteeing us that Apple and friends won’t use any bullshit excuse to remove the main nostr clients from their store if/when they decide having a true free market of speech with zaps (where they can’t get a cut) isn’t good for them, or getting tapped on the shoulders by government because “there are too much wrongspeak on nostr”. Sure, there will always be the option to use nostr with a web-based client, however that’s another thing that gets in the way of mass adoption. I could go on but you get my point. If we rely on organic growth, I don’t expect it to takeoff until 10+ years (unless we roll out tons of features much quicker than I think is possible, without sacrificing relays’ reliability). But I’ll ever stay bullish nostr just for the fact that’s it’s a protocol that could save our lives if/when governments decide to definitely kill free speech on the mainstream platforms. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth If something moved/muscle strained, a good chiro with a couple of days of active rest should do the trick. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth No bugs detected. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth 🫃 npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth It’s fine Lyn, you can just use the profits from copies 1.000.000-1.100.000 for the Lambo. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth I’ll add to that when the ebook will be available. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Bought @npub1gdu…6nak last book with sats and it was seamless. He used OpenNode. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Nice. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Agreed. @npub1hcw…h9rq just works and is currently the best onboarding tool which you can set up from anywhere with anyone in 2 minutes. The very low risk of WOS deciding to rugpull you for a few $’s loss is very, very much worth it for the reward it gives by allowing us to easily break ice and baby-orange pill nocoiners. And if these people are actually going deeper down the rabbit hole, they will let you know you.

Until a few weeks ago I could still curate a “following” feed with interesting people / high signal posts, but these days are clearly over. It’s a shame because I’d say 80% of the people I follow on Twitter aren’t on nostr (or they’re here but not active). I hope we can get more “famous” people like @npub1sg6…f63m @npub1a2c…w83a and others using nostr as their “genuine” social media platform so we can get more traction and go for a snowball effect, so we can finally ditch the panopticon Twitter has become. npub1mysth000q4y3atmjm6yz0jnc30qr2shufqkgn797kk9ev5snsj0qpsl302 Mysth Getting dating tips from @npub1a2c…w83a on nostr wasn’t ever close to ever be on my bingo card.
