Anybody tracking user statistics on #Nostr? It’s still buggy, but I 🧡 it. Are its network effects still growing?🙏🤞

IT BEGINS!!! The University of #Wyoming’s 100th Homecoming celebration kicked off a packed weekend of festivities with a “showdeo” rodeo last night. My big speech, “The Engineering of #Bitcoin, From Money-Over-Internet-Protocol to Texas Grid Stabilizer,” is today at the UW College of Engineering. I’ll post it after the weekend’s festivities. 🤠 #GoPokes https://image.nostr.build/cb4f56691835d4331dcae9d862548402a46147206ecdddb386b5ad198ac10ef0.jpg

GUESS WHO TAUGHT ME something new today: @npub1a2c…w83a! I hadn’t thought of 👇 before but it’s logical that #Bitcoin will become more decentralized over time bc it keeps getting easier/more accessible to run a node (p339 of #BrokenMoney). I ❤️ reading engineers’ explanations of #bitcoin! https://image.nostr.build/024f0a63cd72f3796c45a796a294ffac1d69930b35a8822ebf37c507db219a4e.jpg

LOOK WHAT JUST ARRIVED! Bought it in hard copy—it deserves a spot on my shelf of special #bitcoin & economics books🧡

"Three separate lawsuits are now pending against the Fed on the same statutory question—whether the Fed 'shall' provide services to all eligible depository institutions, as the statute requires," Miller said. "The answer to that statutory question is now firmly in the hands of the federal court system."

OMG, I just noticed twitter banned several “liberty-adjacent” accounts in the past several days. Really?? What for?? 🤢🤮

Hey Nostriches! I just saw that the bird app banned Carla Gericke. Not sure why. Does anyone know if she’s on #Nostr?

This is why I’ve always said a spot #bitcoin #ETF is a double-edged sword. Pick up any ETF prospectus and you’ll see that market-makers are lawfully permitted to sell more units than they hold in the underlying asset to back them—to facilitate market liquidity, supposedly. That’s just a form of naked shorting—but it’s legal for ETF market-makers. There will be other “paper bitcoin” games played too, once WallSt joins the bitcoin game en masse & prime brokers start allowing collateral substitution, unbacked leverage, et al. These are all just other forms of the same “paper bitcoin” games played by the now-defunct crypto exchanges & lenders in the last bull market.
That said, to quote Trace Mayer, bitcoin is the apex predator of finance—bc eventually everyone playing those “paper bitcoin” games will fail due to insolvency. When that happens, bitcoin could go “no-offer” temporarily (ie, when there’s literally no one selling on-chain bitcoins amid a run on all the insolvent counterparties). No one knows when that will happen, but I believe someday it will.
I’ve been trying to warn leveraged players about this for years, mostly to deaf ears. People who came from the leveraged parts of WallSt (incl SBF) bring with them their risk models, which they think they can apply to bitcoin as a new asset class. But their risk models don’t work for bitcoin—bc there’s no lender of last resort for bitcoin (🙏🙏🙏).
That said, such leveraged players will unfortunately keep wreaking havoc until they learn that lesson the hard way…

GM fellow Nostriches!
@npub1qny…95gx‘s podcast with @npub14mc…frlx is a *MUST* listen. Matt opened my eyes to many things happening at Twitter & independent media by putting pieces together for me in a way I hadn’t heard before. We all indeed need to work every day to build #Nostr’s network effects — for most of us, by simply using it more. My goal is to be here every day, and I hope you make it yours too.
h/t @npub1a2c…w83a for the recommendation. I saw your tweet about it & you’re right — it was the most thoughtful content I’d heard in a long time.
🙏

Thanks. As someone new to Nostr, can you provide advice? And can I pay for relays without linking my LN wallet? I’m new and still learning. Thanks in advance for teaching me!

I AM SUPER PUMPED to share this news with all #nostriches here: the #Wyoming legislature today passed a bill prohibiting the compelled disclosure of private keys. It’s short but spectacular—read it below, and you’ll want to move to Wyoming or at least do your business here. This bill is a companion to the bill protecting code as speech, which Wyoming enacted 2 years ago with Christopher Allen’s help (so developers can’t be criminally charged in Wyoming for merely writing code, unless you use it to commit a crime). It’s my little part to help protect you devs when you what you do best. Thank you to all the devs who got us here, and will get us where we’re all going!! 🙏🙏❤️🤠
