An old and powerful trick. You are right, activeky focusing on maintaing positivity is the answer

nice

Sending to exchanges will be problematic

Is there any way to make a utility to make it easier to verbally verify swnd-to addresses? Might not matter in the world of deep fakes ...

PSA - there is no mobile sparrow app, desktop only

Is it more dignified to be carried everywhere in the arms of your humanoid robot Whitney Houston / Kevin Costner style, or does it have more gravitas to ride everywhere on its back? It is the question of our age & it's going to become real important real quick It's about time we all had the courage to discuss it out in the open ...

is right that changing the incentives is the key to the future. As Charlie Munger said: "Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome." It is not the incentives of the common man that matter. nor the incentives of politicians, banksters, vc's or wall street The incentives that matter are those the bureaucrat class. They are most dependant on the money printer, growing sever larger & amassing ever more power They have little value to offer the world other than designing & implementing regulations, so they must steal the value of others through the money printer As says, it is not free speach that really matters, it is free will As we reach peak fiat, across the Western world the bureaucrat class are racing to cement in their power by constricting free will through more & more regulations There needs to be more open discussion of how to shift the incentives of the bureaucrat class The matter has become quite urgent In the end, I think, there will be little option but for the bitcoiners to pay them off ... and if that is the only way, we should do so

Bitcoin's exchange rate expressed in gold follows a power law trend almost as closely as when expressed in usd (95% vs 96% r-squared) In past bull/bear cycles bitcoin's behaviour around the power trend line is nearly identical for both measures (green circles). This relationship has noticeably decoupled in the current cycle: - the usd exchange rate has risen from long-term support trend line to the power trend line (red circles) - the gold exchange rate has remained anchored to the long-term support trend line (red circles) If gold is a more accurate measure of purchasing power, it can be argued bitcoin has not yet entered a bull-run in purchasing power terms In gold terms, the power law trend line indicates, if a purchasing power bull-run occurs, bitcoin's price may: - 2x from here to the power trend line (reversion to trend / no bull-run) - 5x from here to to 1sd-up line (conservative base case bull-run) - 10x from here to to 2sd-up line (up-side bull-run) In usd terms, that's an exchange rate of US$500,000 to US$1,000,000 per bitcoin in a bull-run this cycle This seems unlikely to say the least ... something is broken ... can someone tell me what it is?

Excellent to see old-school peer-pressure from driving to produce more nostr only content This will make a material difference to nostr adoption. Over to & to throw more of their content nostr only's way Also, if someone should nudge to throw a few more bones nostr's way ...

This is good stuff. Encouraging to see solutions to the centralisation risk of the management & distribution of FOSS & freedom-tech emerging on the freedom-tech stack itself These things have long been freedom-tech's soft underbelly ... exciting times

I'm used to squinting at losing his shit through a low-res 720p lap-top webcam now he's all high-res, upclose & personal ... it's like staring at the sun! it's good stuff

freedom tech will set us free

meanwhile, also right on the short-term holder cost base ... what could go wrong? lol

well that degenerated quickly ...

I hope that this is true, & I think the rapid & coordinated advancement of kyc controls on internet access & free speach in the past few months (UK, Australia, etc) are last ditch efforts to stop the loss of complete control I agree circular economies are ultimately the answer, removing the intermediaries, and that we need to fight for them However, I also think there is a risk of underestimating the strength of the bureaucrat power structure, particularity to control narratives & the monopoly on violence, to thwart these efforts As Adam back would point out, the fight needs to be made on many fronts, As bitcoiners economic power grows, why shouldn't it be used to leverage the current perverse fiat incentives of the bureaucrats to weaken them?

In app updates for users who install via apk & do not have access to play store. Signal has this. In the long-run, this will be important

I think there is a VERY high probability that Tom Lee's judgement has been compromised

Open broadcast only geofenced channels for regional / location notifications Also auto send messages based on phone crossing geofence

this warms the cockles of my heart ... if Block could lease hurry up with the global roll-out of lightning on square terminals, that would be so kind ...

This is true, but I would still like better nostr tools, or better command of those that already exist, to self direct my attention more effectively & with less effort

I like this story

Capital 'G' this time, totally different signal
