Primal still doesn't even have webm support and they think they're going to make a better video platform than YouTube 🤔

Having a paid sign up option that depends on Primal's servers and continued payment is neither decentralised, secure or anonymous. Its just a bad Twitter clone that also utterly defeats the point of the Nostr network. Capitalism ruins everything.
Purism tends to destroy advancement.
why not use paypal then? its very fast an efficient and cheaper than bitcoin txns. Bitcoin is stupid with kyc because thentire point of bitcoin is to oppose kyc. if thats not going to happen why use bitcoin, its all cons and no upsides?
We’re going to waste your tax money and you’ll get a censored model:

as opposed to expensive US corporate closed source AI models?
I don’t disagree but you are delusional if you think people will not use custodial solutions
then what is the point.? might as well use paypal, works for purchases than WoS . Bitcoin exists for self custody trustless transactions. if that isn't going to be then fiat will surfice

have you heard of the great pacific garbage patch? they have one in the atlantic also.
I told my friend about the TV license. they just give everyone the BBC with no scrambler and if you don't pay th...
You also need to pay the BBC licence in the UK if you plan to watch watching anything live on TV or internet. Including YoutTube.
I still don't understand the pissing match between BTC and XMR. They are two different things that can be used together or for targeted use. Why not work together to maximize liberty, and privacy for ...
Swtiching between bitcoin and monero is not private, unless you do it illegally and don't declare your asset exchanges.

Because history has shown us that you cannot scale a single protocol to 8 billion people on the base layer. Would bet a good amount of satoshis that some shitcoin called kaspa is not going to magicall...
What would be the point in custodial bitcoin? One of the main reasons bitcoin was invented is to have a private, decentralised, non custodial digital currency that doesn't depend on centralised companies like visa/paypal. WHy would anyone buy bitcoin and use coinbase instead of just using paypal, other than for asset speculation purposes?

The fact that they launched a blockchain in the first place?
There is absolutely no need for another blockchain with a shitcoin token tied to it.
We have Bitcoin
What do we need the kaspa token ...
Bitcoin doesn't scale, thats what kaspa claims to solve. There is a need to scale. L2 sucks, its mostly an over centralised complicated Rube Goldberg device to make bitcoin work.
2
why not if you can? It makes everything easier and user friendly for people. L2s biggest problem (and there are many problems) is its usability. Lightnng is complicated to understand and set up, which means most peopleuse custodial wallets, and thats just not what bitcoin wants. And even then its a faf.

One of the worst currently is China though. But I agree that surveillance capitalism is also a problem.
The UK has more CCTV per capita than China (the highest in the world). It also has more prisoners per capita than China, not as much as the US though. China invests in its people, in infrastructure, schools, healthcare, roads, high speed rail etc. - something the US does not do much anymore because the US is run by profit seeking megacorporations and china is run by govnts that limit what those corporations can do, and a govnt that taxes corps properly so it can invest in the people and its nation.
True, there probably are few to none. However the tried alternatives have been worse (see the Soviet union or East Germany). I don't know if there is a solution that's actually good. Some think that i...
Many east Germans believe they were better off before capitalist unification than they are today. The wealth and employment gap between those living in west vs east in todays Germany is significant. Capitalism today is more totalitarian than communism of yesteryear, and there is no greater example of that than the intense surveillance of the population by of the tech capitalists in the richest nations on earth. The Stasi could never have dreamed of the kind of survelillence power capitalism has given to corporations. Surveillance Capitalism is the most burtal and oppressive form of governance in existence. And its going to get much worse. Elon musks america is a fascist state worse than any 'communist' state that preceded it.
