@npub1jvy…2yka is on Nostr? Awesome! But I still want to see yet more reasonable dissident voices on here.

What accounting software/tools do y'all recommend if I'm transitioning my personal life over to and working to build a business using a bitcoin standard? The search engines gave me a lot of fiat companies with "crypto modules" or whatever and it made me want to vomit.

I have the same problem. I've been using bone conduction that wraps around the ear and I like those except in noisy backgrounds.

That bird is really a parasitic demon that gets its life force from the energy you spend learning new languages.

Is there some specific local cultural or political issue you can attach it to to point it out as a solution? Just offering an idea since I saw this in my feed.

Sounds like you hit a sore spot.

Yep, that sounds about right. Basically, either scare or entice everyone toward one of the legacy honeypots or false crypto-messiahs.

I have a Technician Class, but it's underutilized except for occasionally turning on my radio and scanning. Got it for running operations in a college rocketry group. Been meaning to get back into it. Especially now that I'm seeing this #meshtastic stuff!

Nicely done! It is worth thinking about this, and revisiting it often as we think of how to explain Nostr, especially as the authoritarians of the world increasingly try to lock out the centralized SM apps. If we make it too confusing for people, it will slow down adoption.

I taught myself to the basics of how to code while in biz school thinking it would make me a better project manager. Then I took some engineering classes for the same reason.
Now I benefit from that knowledge mostly for my own pursuits and setting up a side-gig. Glad I did it, even if the benefit isn't what I expected going in!

If you're a #bitcoin/#nostr user streaming content on YouTube, and you aren't direction and encouraging viewers to get on Nostr, then what are you even doing?

CrowdHealth is a healthcare crowd-funding solution (and they are technically NOT an insurance company, which is good because the US has stupid and counter-productive requirements for insurance companies).
One of the options they have for pooling funds is to pool it in #bitcoin instead of USD: https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/bitcoin
They also recently started a program for people on carnivore/animal-based diets: https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/carnivore
I'm not in the program (yet) because up to this point I've had employer-provided health insurance, but I'm looking at this alternative for the near-future.

People who are concerned that AI will take over the world as some sort of overlord don't understand AI, at least not in its current form. AI has no grounding in the real world, no basis on which to understand limits, and without limits, no mastery of the material world can truly be manifested.
Bitcoin is different precisely because it has built in limits. As @jack@strike.me explained the other day, BTC has been grounded in time, mining it is based on energy, and the supply is capped. Limits are not inhibitors of value, they are the reason for value.

Testing a cross-post from Twitter/X. Are there any good cross-posting platforms in development that will work on Nostr?

Trying out Primal for the first time. So far, pretty neat!

Since I happen to be looking, what's the best cold wallet as of January 2024? Only needed for bitcoin, props for user-friendly design but to priority is security.
Thanks!

I'm actually surprised it took him so long to ever bring it up! He's always talking about how "you need to open source the code" and decentralize.

That's what I'm wondering...

2023-04-20 20:36:05

I know I can do a web search, but I always find I learn something unexpected when I ask actual people instead:
What business models make use of the #nostr platform? Or does anyone have ideas that they don't mind sharing?

Nice! This was me last spring. Sound money for the win!

This should be tried out. If not, at least there's precedent in the US of removing DAs for abdication of responsibility and duty.

Bitcoin meets certain key criteria of sound money: it is portable, it maintains it's value (not inflatable, though large fluctuations do occur when comparing it to fiat), and it is (increasingly, and I think #nostr can play a big role in taking this further) salable.
Further, #BTC is self-custodial meaning that the owner of the coin is the holder of the coins. This eliminates counter-party risk and removes the need for banks, eliminating the whole premise of a debt-based economy. Minus the ability of fiat currency to be issued as mass-debt, it will lose steam and be less attractive as a store of value as fiat-entangled economies "shrink" now that they no longer have access to unnatural growth drivers.
The adjustment phase will be painful (and in many cases, likely catastrophic), but sound money options will be the winners, and with the growing distrust in institutions, the best option for anyone looking to build their wealth will increasingly obviously be self-custodial, decentralized, and divorced from institutional control. BTC is the only currency that can meet these parameters, with built in resistance to centralized control.
I need to distill this to a shorter write-up, but as I'm still learning the economics of BTC it helps to write it out in any case! Feel free to point out errors, inconsistency, or incompleteness in my reasoning #ironsharpensiron !

It'll be a few more years at best until they are able to get a steady launch cadence w Starship like they have w F9 (assuming the EPA or some other gov agency doesn't get license to shut them down, they're trying...). Once it get's going, it'll be exciting to see what the market does! I'm rooting for rotating space stations!
