Zaps are nice, but they are distractions. Just having a meaningful conversation with another being is more than money can buy.

I find nostr calming and relaxing at this time of the day, and it took me two years to realize that.

Any reply that is done on a device connected via WiFi, is technically air reply. The bits and bytes have to traverse the air to get to you.

The proof is in the pudding

Sometimes, if you are lucky, your creation outgrows and outsmarts you. Life goes on.

Some people are simple and naive, let them be simple and naive. There is room for all kinds of people. 🫡

There is no second best, or first best, it’s all trade offs and compromises. 🫡

Years ago, I read a book that I still think about regularly. Unfortunately, I had forgotten its title and couldn't find it again despite an intensive search. Enter grok. Grok found it for me with two searches. The book is called "Holy Fire" and was written by Bruce Sterling.

When I read it back then, I wasn't a Bitcoiner yet. But since that changed, I've been reminded of one aspect of this book more often. It's set in a medium-term future on Earth, where there are very wealthy elderly people. However, the majority of the population lives on money given to them so they can satisfy basic needs. The important distinction is that there are two different types of money: the valuable money that the elderly, wealthy people possess. And then the money that is given to the population to buy things like rent, food and clothing. But with this inferior money you can't, for example acquire land, buildings or other capital.

Through my journey down the Bitcoin path, I can easily imagine all of this as a possible, realistic future.
