I am really starting to understand it’s not so much that people are actually stupid, but that they have been so thoroughly brainwashed and conditioned that the form of callowness in which they exist overrides all forms of thought so that the very idea of taking courageous action is fundamentally impossible.
It’s quite sad really.

It’s Sunday AM in Newfoundland. All our radio stations playing Jiggs & Reels - traditional (Irish) music. there is nowhere else in Canada that I’ve found that tosses on its own soundtrack weekly for the by’s to enjoy. Love where you live.

Uuh.. just set coinos wallet with #Amethyst via WC for one tap zap. The easiest way to do it until now.
You should try coinos.io if you don't have already. Only thing I don't like much is that automatically changes lightning address default on your Nostr profile, but all the rest is so neat and simple.

Having worked at and invested in number of ‘bitcoin’ companies, the great problem you will always deal with is fiat people, fiat policies, and fiat politics. While this isn’t a problem when the company is small, it becomes more acute with growth for various reasons until it pretty much becomes unbearable. Then it becomes a fiat company that just happens to do bitcoin stuff, and usually sacrifices the real ethos and values that started the company in the first place.
The only real solution is to build totally bitcoin-only (as in no touching fiat) ‘companies’—which there are very few, and as it becomes more successful, the harder it is to keep it that way.
The good news is that soon there will be more of these ‘companies’ if we can really call them that. Over the next epoch, these will provide some of the greatest opportunities (and risks) to build extraordinary new products and services for the whole world and will truly be ‘bitcoin-only’ services that will likely be real pieces of infrastructure of the future internet. These will also provide the greatest investment opportunities ever, as they will be ‘forever’ and ‘everywhere’ companies.

A: Hi Bob!
B: Hey Alice, how are you doing? Oh nice hair you got today.
A: Oh, thanks.. so, you just like them? You are not zapping me for them? You are so FIAT Bob.
So basically we passed from a culture of EGO builders with 👍🏼 on Facebook, to another one where you build your EGO since you give "value" while others are only appreciating something without giving money to it. pendulum shifting so hard.
Let me ask..
1) Do you zap every note you would like 2 years ago or you are limitating your engagement because you settled a higher standard?
2) Let's say Alice zap 21 sats as minimum, and Bob zap 100 sats as minimum.. but Alice got in bitcoin just recently and have a stack of less than 0.1 btc, while Bob is in since 2013 and his stack is 100+ BTC.. who is giving more value, putting more on the line, and giving more?
3) Alice follows 2000+ users, and zaps an avarage of 100 notes a day, from just GM to long form posts. Bob follows 100 people and zaps less than 5 notes a day but 10 times Alice amount. Who is giving more "value" and making sats flow creating a bigger net of connections and engagement..
4) #Nostr is a fucking niche still, even smaller than Bitcoin, and trying to force onlyzaps to new users that doesn't know anything about it, and don't have anyone that follow and actively engage with them, you want to also take from them an easy way of communication, because Reactions, not just LIKES, ARE A WAY OF COMMUNICATING A MESSAGE.
REACTIONS ARE NOT LIKES, FOR FUCK SAKE!

No, money is not a “collective illusion” or more often called a “collective delusion.” How many times does Saifedean have to address this one for people to learn…
Fairly certain that idea is not from Menger (maybe a misreading of Menger), but more likely Keynes and it’s a socialist idea, not an Austrian one.
You don’t just arbitrarily decide that one money is better than another and then the market uses it successfully based on delusion. Rather, the marketplace, over time, organically determines the best money based upon monetary properties (scarcity, durability, portability, etc.)
“History shows it is not possible to insulate yourself from the consequences of others holding money that is harder than yours.” - Saifedean https://v.nostr.build/N4lbhGgaLOmTxykq.mp4
