Important news for CoinOS users in the quoted post. Love to see this level of transparency and accountability. Happy to continue using CoinOS as one of my nostr wallets.
For fun, I manage a rate table in my app that can handle custom currency denominations. For example, I have invented the 'banana' or BNA which I update the rate every time I go shopping. I set my #nostr #safebox to present bananas as the local indication of my balance.
I have 82.93 bananas to burn...
The Economist has reinstated its Big Mac index, I might try to add in as well.
⚡️🤔 El Salvador suspended its "Bitcoin a Day" purchase program from January 24 to 28, the same week it amended the 2021 law because of the IMF, which gave legal tender status to #bitcoin.
Two bitcoins were purchased on January 28, but none have been purchased since.
All the same, people looking for a free speech platform have no idea this app exists, the app with a name so foreign I can’t even remember its name Nostr?
I don’t understand people who are silent on nostr. It could have made sense to do it on X or other centralized crap to read the news or find more content but not here 🤷♂️
I've always wanted the online space to feel like I could speak with others, but I think many people who grew up on twatter or tok were "trained" to be passive. Feeling like their opinions didn't matter or their thoughts etc.
But that's the reality, unless you are here to contribute something meaningful (which takes effort!), I think most peoples opinions don't matter, just like I assume most of mine don't.
Nostr as social media is mainly without an algo and therefore not able to give that Dopamin shots and ‚engaging-force’ people are used to so much nowadays.
For most it’s just ‚boring’ compared to ticawaXxerbookagramtube.
I think odell has been the only one brave enough to delete his X account. I don’t know why any bitcoiner is on X when they have nostr. I am not even a bitcoiner and this is the only platform I am on. I know of very few people who are sound money and goldbugs on the platform. Fearful the platform is going to die. It doesn’t seem to be getting any adoption outside of bitcoiners. But, like you said even the bitcoiners are starting to fade.
I’m not on Twitter (X); never have been; came to Nostr because it’s decentralized. Don’t know much about it yet, but like music and art. Have a little gold and silver because I don’t trust the Fed (or any of the rest of that primate subspecies. Have a bit of bitcoin too and won’t vote for Biden or Trump. Otherwise, I don’t fit the Nostr profile - I’m 70 and remember Kent State and 1971.
The one thing that I miss most about X is spaces. I felt like every Friday and Saturday night there were several really good spaces that were talking deep and thoughtful subjects and issues.
