filing taxes, but everyone must select what government programs their taxes go towards and portions

if microstrategy becomes one of the top 100 most valuable companies in the world by just playing financial games i’ll kill myself @note1phsh2...

i think i can finally articulate the main grudge i have with people not treating bitcoin as money, but as an investment.

Peter Thiel encapsulates it perfectly with Definite/Indefinite Optimism/Pessimism.
Currently bitcoiners are indefinite optimists, like the big companies who sit on cash reserves instead of reinvesting it in themselves, they have no idea what to do with themselves, and money is more valuable than anything you could possibly do with it. You expect a better future without doing anything- a mindset that is a recipe for stagnation if everyone shares it. Michael Saylor is the bitcoin poster child of this mentality.

In a definite future, money is a means to an end, not the end itself. A definite optimist has and works towards a vision of a better future. Bitcoin should be a system for effectively allocating resources in an economy, as people focus on working to create value for each other for a better future. @note1m7zta...

what’s stopping you from doing this?

Proof-of-Concept: onboardstr.vercel.app

Objective: billions must generate nostr accs

I think this should be the way we onboard 80% of ppl to nostr. i had a friend download damus then i proceeded to bore them with ‘follow this guy’ or ‘add this relay too btw’.

add your npub to the end of the onboardstr url, and when your friend generates an nsec they will have all the same follows/relays as you straightaway. instantly their feed is lively, and they can curate it themselves from there.

working on something for this 💪 the next iteration of lightning.movie w nostr/webtorrents as a FOSS client
