Never apologize for art

True, but I enjoy your apps. “A man walks along a beach where thousands of starfish have washed ashore, stranded and dying. He sees a young boy picking up starfish one by one and throwing them back into the ocean. The man approaches and says, ‘There are too many starfish. You can’t possibly make a difference.’ The boy picks up another starfish, tosses it into the sea, and replies, ‘It made a difference to that one.’”

The world shall be lacking without your vibes.

Hasn’t been the smoothest experience using Aegis. Some apps are chill with it (Olas, Oxchat), most of the IOS apps want that precious private key. I hope the day comes with IOS NOSTR catches up with Android. In the meantime, Damus is a great app.

I think they have their place. Not HODL’ing them, but I am glad they exist.

#asknostr Is there anything in the GENIUS act as passed that hurts BTC/Stablecoins or that puts a moat around the banking industry? I of coursed consulted the AI overlords, but I wanted to see if there were any insights from the community. For those curious, here's what AI spit out: "Prohibitions on Bitcoin/Stablecoins: No provisions prohibit the use or adoption of Bitcoin or stablecoins; the act regulates payment stablecoins, potentially enhancing adoption through legal clarity. Regulatory Framework: Payment stablecoin issuers must be subsidiaries of insured depository institutions, federal-qualified nonbanks, or state-qualified issuers (≤$10B), with 1:1 reserves, monthly disclosures, and redemption policies. Bitcoin Impact: Bitcoin, as a non-stablecoin, is unaffected but subject to a Treasury study on non-payment stablecoins, assessing risks and benefits without imposing restrictions. Banking Industry Advantages: Banks may have a competitive edge due to existing regulatory status, easing compliance for stablecoin issuance via subsidiaries. Nonbank Competition: Nonbanks can issue stablecoins if qualified, with similar reserve and AML requirements, supported by anti-tying and affiliate transaction guardrails to ensure fair competition. Competition with Banking System: Stablecoins can compete with banks in payments (e.g., remittances, digital transactions); no explicit prohibitions hinder their ability to challenge traditional banking services. Market Dynamics: Issuer qualifications and regulatory costs may favor larger players, potentially limiting smaller innovators and concentrating market power. Monetary Policy: The 1:1 reserve rule prevents money creation, but widespread stablecoin use could affect money velocity or Federal Reserve control, requiring monitoring. Global Implications: The act may strengthen the dollar’s global role via regulated stablecoins, but strict rules could push innovation offshore."
