I get that. Same goes for Bitcoiner. I love hanging out with them.

But I really want to tell people about these solutions (Nostr / Bitcoin), so they also have the opportunity to opt for them.

Just like someone once told me about them. My life changed so much for the better. I want that opportunity for everyone.

We should build bridges though. Otherwise we are just talking to ourselves.

platform vs public space

For my own understanding, I put this in a physical realm thought experiment:
A public space is a square or agora, if u will.
A platform, let’s call it a stage, is build on such a public space.

People can speak or perform on the square or on the stage. One is permissionless the other is not. It doesn’t tell you anything about the quality of the speaker or performer, if they are on that stage, but it sure directs the attention.

Public spaces give anyone the option to speak or perform. That does not exempt them from consequences of that action of course.

The best part is: I decide to stay and listen or go somewhere else.

All can be said, that doesn’t mean you have to listen. Kind of like #nostr

Reading “The history of money” (Jack Weatherford) right now. I like it a lot so far.

My favorites I read last year:
- Discipline Is Destiny
- Medici Money
- The Lessons of History
- Economics in One Lesson

What were your favorites last year?

What books are you reading right now?

The only problem with this, that I see at the moment, is that I would possibly get endless notifications from the wallet.

So a customizable filter or threshold for notifications would be nice.
