woolcycle on nostr

The one thing I really notice when hosting crypto or ai conferences is there is no ideology Bitcoin confs - particularly the smaller ones - have a shared ethos of belief system I don’t wanna cal...

I feel one aspect of this is the universal need to narrow down parameters, otherwise it is difficult to get people on the same page. However, personally, I feel like I am "crypto-homeless", as whereas "crypto" spaces lack focus, Bitcoin spaces are too tightly demarcated to allow for new developments in the bona fide financial freedom tech stack.

dogecoin degens have forked bitchat and are now using nostr without realizing it. amazing. https://blossom.primal.net/245372d3427fa9d310385a1b405a2882bba73634c698e6dea6b91ac03d80dd21.jpg

So, similarly, a payment crypto could fork some aspect of Nostr and build in connection with their native wallet and support for one-click tips to profiles and posts?

holy shit, block's new mining rig is beautiful 14.1 j/th open source firmware easy to upgrade https://blossom.primal.net/e8f62a2a082d92cf32f94f8174d0a14767a5cfc6cf59bb728c5ce46e7286b318.mp4

Hardware requirements for validators for the Nimiq blockchain are far lower - so a highly expensive new Nimiq validator rig isn't even a thing!

The biggest problem of Nostr is that most of the content is still bitcoin-focused. That's a great problem to have. If you like anything other than Bitcoin, your voice will be unique. Be the change yo...

One thing I would say is that while Saylor and Back - and indeed most Bitcoin thought leaders - are #Bitcoin only, people like Ross Ulbricht, Edward Snowden and Ron Paul are a bit different from those two. e.g. Ross has described Bitcoin forks as part of Bitcoin's decentralisation. But it takes a brave man to step outside the rigid groupthink!

Would you consider covering Nimiq payment crypto? @L0la L33tz https://www.nimiq.com/

And.., it introduces counterparty risk – the very thing bitcoin eliminated.

Also, is there just too much going on? e.g. Non-custodial BTC + another L1 more suited to payment, again done non-custodially, might offer a simpler and better solution.

Here's the thing: if the goal is promoting "a peer to peer electronic cash system" or "building the financial freedom tech stack", then is Saylor even relevant? One might say that both pro- and anti-Saylor sentiments are both tangential to those goals. The other side of the coin is whether there are themes which are off-limits, which should rightfully be considered as key facets of building the financial freedom tech stack. #Bitcoin #AskNostr

in your opinion, what are nostr’s sacred cows? what are the topics you’re not supposed to bring up? what are the things or people you’re never supposed to criticize?

woolcycle @woolcycle 1742680684

I feel people are not interested in going with whatever is the best way to build the financial freedom tech stack. Only #Bitcoin + L2 solutions can be countenanced on #AskNostr, it seems.

gm NOSTR and Happy New Years 🎉 start it off right by NOT BUYING CRYPTO: https://video.nostr.build/fda6d76949b69e89e2522aeff95e0a6acc0e9933df47d7ee6c51d87ec74a7ae0.mp4

IMO, the financial freedom tech stack could conceivably be best implemented via Bitcoin + one judiciously chosen L1. The additional L1 would suggest itself in terms of rigorous technological criteria. Are you here for this conversation? (Which would seem reasonable, based on the headaches and trade-offs entailed by Bitcoin + Layer 2 solutions.)

Bitcoiners visiting bitcoin-accepting merchants and paying in fiat are larpers.

woolcycle @woolcycle 1728846003

Agreed. But also what happens to my sats when I pay with them? Are they being recycled in the circular economy, hodled or immediately exchanged for fiat?

Christians, Help me out here. How does one feel strongly about Jesus? How does one have a personal relationship with Christ? In general I feel very little or nothing when I think about god and he...

woolcycle @woolcycle 1725752770

I feel this begs the question what you do feel strong about, maybe go with that?
