Awesome meetup @npub1key…lt3h with the @npub1mu7…j5cl and @npub1jxs…npr2 team.
Topic of the evening: Bitcoin as a Medium of Exchange.
One of the general consensus seems to be that bitcoin is too volatile to be a MOE as of now.
This brings me back to the root of Bitcoin. The primary incentive for Satoshi’s time spent creating the Bitcoin technology.
When we think about the purpose of Bitcoin- To transact in a peer to peer open verifiable decentralize network
When we think about the value you of bitcoin- the would be value of the fiat currency you hold IF it was real money.
Which brings us to bitcoins volatility. Imagine trying the calculate real world value via money substitutes issued and control by governments, who inflate and manipulate the supply at will. If we factors in all these obstacles, along with human economical interactions, Bitcoin is hashing overtime trying to keep up with human action.
Unlike bitcoin, the reason the dollar doesn’t seem volatile is because there’s no real time dollar depreciation tracker showing the current value of the dollar. Now imagine if there was a real time dollar depreciation tracker. You wouldn’t think twice about stacking and spending sats.
When we think about what is Bitcoin-
Unless you happened to be alive under the gold standard, bitcoin is the only real money you’ve ever known.
Secure the network. Use bitcoin and never buy fiat.

2025-01-24 20:42:59

What happens when bitcoin adoption outpaces bitcoin education?
I'm starting to be convinced that 50% of bitcoin holders aren't taking the time understand bitcoin(Saylor was right,100 hour min). This could be a problem when creating and advocating for bitcoin regulations. We don't want regulations that would hinder bitcoin's use cases simply because people don't understand bitcoin.
Bitcoin with central banking is sending the message. Those who understand that bitcoin is repricing the world, understand that TradFi instruments will be obsolete with bitcoin.
Bitcoin technology has never been seen before and humans can't comprehend without using historical reference data but unfortunately bitcoin doesn't allow that process. So we must allow bitcoin to guide human action and verify along the way but the path is not one including the pass.

Another awesome Brooklyn Bitcoin Meetup. These meetups are therapy for me. It’s an opportunity to talk about the things humans value the most, the broken system we live in and why #bitcoin is the answer.
Conversations that should be had at the dinner table, the break room , the locker room or any room where economizing humans gather. Unfortunately there are only a select few who have the understanding and courage to take full control of their economizing time and energy spent. I celebrate the opportunity to meet and engage with these select few we call Bitcoiners.
@npub1u4w…m334 great turn out tonight . Let’s keep it going!

In order for something to be considered an asset, it’s value should appreciate with Time. If Time itself is an asset, than how do we measure the value of our Time?
#bitcoin measures the value of productive Time spent more than any other human measuring instrument.

I'm sorry Michael Saylor but I don't ever plan to lend #bitcoin to a centralized bank. I think that completely defeats the entire intent of #Satoshi and #Bitcoin.
However I am very hopeful that some #devs will use taproot or another BIP to create smart contracts for self lending with all the parameters of bank lending. Lets keep Bitcoin peer to peer.

Thanks for the explanation Dave. I didn’t quite understand relays and even after your clear explanation I still don’t quite understands relays. The differences, why so many, if I am using one , if am not using one, the difference between private or public and why one or the other. But none the less Nostr is awesome , I’m still learning so I guess at some point it will make sense.

Well, like I said, I am in the process of trying to understand the lightning network. I started with phoenix wallet that was pretty easy set up. We know what happened with phoenix in the US.
Now I have downloaded Mutiny Wallet and ZEUS . So now I’m understanding that these wallets all have different features . I’m also learning that having a wallet doesn’t mean you have a lightning address . This is where the confusion starts.
The next confusing thing is funding layer 2 from layer 1. I thought with the wallets having on chain and layer 2, I would be able to send the on chained to layer 2, but that is not how it work. I understand that I need a second channel. But that in itself is confusing as well because if I’m trying to send on chain Bitcoin to the lightning network, I don’t understand what the second channel role is.
From the tutorials I’ve been watching everybody funds their lightning wallet from another lightning wallet, so the question is how do you fund the initial lightning wallet? I was able to fund my wallet because I had already been able to set up a Phoenix wallet .
Now I’m confused on how to add funds to layer 2. In addition, it seems that I’m only being allowed to add so much funding to my lightning wallets. Which means there is a limit on what I’m able to purchase using lightning simply because I can only fund my account up to a certain amount which I don’t even understand what that is.
I understand there is inbound liquidity and outbound liquidity, but I do not understand how you adjust those liquidities and how those liquidities affect my transactions. So on one hand, I understand the necessity and need for lightning network, on the other hand the lightning network is not easy to navigate.

2024-05-29 18:47:56

As a non-Bitcoin developer who fully appreciates everything #bitcoin has to offer. I must say after spending the last month on #nostr, I have to say the lingo is not very user friendly.
For me personally, I have been spending quite a bit of time trying to understand and figure out how to use the lightning network. I can see the development process happening with some of the apps, but I have to say if we want Bitcoin to reach mass adoption we have got to spend more time making these apps, user-friendly. I think one issue with Bitcoin adoption is not just understanding the technology but being intimidated by the interfaces of a lot of these programs and apps. If you’re not a developer or a highly motivated individual it’s very easy to become discouraged in the Bitcoin space, simple because it’s not easy to navigate. Thankfully, they are so many awesome helpful people in the Bitcoin community that I have been able to stay afloat, but for many people who are just simply afraid to ask questions this is going to be a challenge.
So thank you for all of your contributions and your continued contributions, but please please keep in mind easy user friendly is the way to mass adoption.

Your Paper has some good pointers, you are definitely on the right track and any contributions to spreading bitcoin education is highly needed and useful. You are a bitcoin contributor!
If it's directed toward newbies I would suggest trying to make the language as simple as possible.
"How inflation is calculated by gov," definitely needs a few pointers . I would also suggest looking at Lyn Alden's documentary for a clear explanation.
