That's wild. The gas station by my house plays some obnoxious ad while I'm filling up too but the monitor on the handle is some next level evil. At least show the guy how it is lowering his gas price. Maybe he wouldn't be so upset.

There will be a more coherent announcement in the coming weeks but @nprofile…fwta is creating opt-in marketplace for content promotion. You either enter a "promotion" with a price you're willing to pay, or you enter your "attention" and how much you want someone to pay for it. Thus finding the market clearing price for attention.

It's must be the vs code ide style of cursor but
cursor is blowing my mind. 🤯 It's already built 40 % of my project and I'm just telling it the problems I'm encountering.
I've never felt like these ai tools work for me. As a coder cursor feels like I'm in charge, but have a very knowledgeable partner. I've always been the knowledgable partner so it's nice to have one for a change.

Modern "Citizenship" is an anomaly. Even non-roman citizens were allowed in Rome. But once they created "passports" we all lost freedom of movement on planet earth.
Can't wait till they roll out space "citizenship". We'll all be trapped on earth

2025-03-01 20:09:05

- reply

I am aware that this is done all over the world. I.e. El Salvador.
I'm just saying if these things called #citizenship are so valuable we should create an open #marketplace. Let the market set the price. Let the price be a signal around the world which citizenships are actually valuable. Would be interesting what the market would actually choose. 🤔

2025-03-01 18:04:00

So if they're selling citizenship for $5M... Why can't an individual sell their own citizenship. I know some people that could use $5M.
They've moved on from the money, now they are debasing the citizenship itself

Reminds me when I first got into programming. I was in the Air Force and to office I worked in used macromedia' coldfusion. There were a bunch of contractors who had been hit by the dotcom bubble popping. They would all say to me "just wait untill you do 'real' programming like Java" 20+ years later and I never did write a single line of Java but I did learn through trial and error how to structure my applications over time.
If coldfusion hadn't existed maybe I would have never gotten into programming. But I'm here now on #nostr with all you #nostriches #zapping #bitcoin to strangers over #lightning and I understand how all of it works.
In the long run, #AI making it easier for the next Ian to get started, without needing to work in an office of developers, will compound the growth of the userbase of Bitcoin and nostr.

If orange pilling someone is when you get them to take a serious look at #bitcoin, what do we call it when they come back with more questions?
In honor of the "pill" metaphor may I suggest "refill". I've noticed that I enjoy these conversations way more than the initial orange pilling. Once they have legitimate Bitcoin questions and not the superficial FUD questions, the conversations more dynamic and engaging.
Anyone else have this experience?

Personally I felt comfortable at 4, but 6-8 is probably more reasonable. Since we plan on starting a business, my math was more centered around how fast can we replace one salary. If we do it in under two years we've won. But if it takes longer we have Bitcoin working for us.
My basic math was 50% CAGR base case and 250% CAGR over a 1 halving.
If you're not looking to replace a salary then the math is probably more like 8-12 years worth of Bitcoin. Hopefully you can't/dont spend it all in three halvings
(In no way financial advice 😎)

I hear what you're saying but another way of saying that could be "the government can develop it's own more and sense of self" And do we really want the government in charge or that.
I don't see them banning Facebook, the originator of algorithmic social engineering. Wasn't Obama cheering on the Arab spring? That didn't happen through tiktok.
Instead of the government deciding what I see for our "protection", how about they keep people actually informed and let people protect themselves. Isn't that the whole idea behind #Bitcoin?

@npub1yz8…post went viral today for #Nostr standards and I got me thinking...
One of the things @npub1yz8…pxp7 first noticed when we started @npub1627…3aec was just how isolating it can be as a solo #bitcoiner. Today made me think that we may be compounding that effect being on #nostr. I haven't seen anyone else talking about this #tiktokban and how it is proving the power we all hold. They organized on #tiktok and made an app famous overnight.
Telling people to "get on Nostr" isn't working.
We need to definitively say "get on {app}". We know it doesn't matter which one it is, but for people who are just looking for a new social media app they don't value that value prop. They do value "nobody can take this one away from you" value prop. we should lead with this.
Thankful for normies like my wife who try to be the bridge for these two worlds. She is why @npub17vs…66ne exists. We are literally building an app to market to the soon to be #tiktok refugees

"Artist with Most Supporters: Man Like Kweks
Don Kweka is a producer and rapper from Tanzania. When he's not at his desk working his 9 to 5, he's making beats in his bedroom - and he has been prolific in 2024. Earlier this year he told Forbes he had earned a total of $25.68 from United Masters, the distribution company he uses for traditional DSPs (for which he pays a $60 annual fee). Since first publishing his music on Wavlake, he’s earned 2.3 million sats (over $2,000)."

I've been outlining a book called The "Bitcoin" Prince. Written to my son, it's a "how to carry yourself" when he inherits our stack. We need to raise our kids to understand what it means to inherit #bitcoin. People are going to hate him more than the billionaires today because he inherited wealth that his parents "got lucky" with. But if you carry yourself a certain way people will come to understand that it wasn't luck and how our children carry themselves will be the proof.
