The launch for Starship Flight 6 is scheduled for 4pm TODAY, but delays for these things are common and there is a narrow launch window. Even so, I'm headed out to stake out a spot to watch it from!

I couldn't get this video to upload yesterday, so this post is a day late.
Finally, here to see the launch in person (God willing, assuming it's not delayed past the weekend)!

#asknostr Is anyone aware of a way to find non-corporate rentals, bonus points if it connects prospective renters to landlords who are willing to accept bitcoin, enabling someone to transition more fully into a personal bitcoin standard?

I'm trying to experiment with Npub.pro with the interest of helping my girlfriend set up an art gallery (which is also a test case for directing others to this awesome idea for how to use Nostr!).
I started a test profile @nprofile…2hk6 and uploaded some AI generated images in three groups, each with a hashtag, thinking that the page generated would be able to load them. But when I preview, I don't see the notes with the hashtags, and when I try to publish I get an error. Can someone help me figure this out? I'm trying to give you some free publicity here!
Thanks!

Jack might not actually be (entirely) wrong. Central govs want centrally controlled AI, and would-be centrally-controlled-AI developers are finding that they can't catch up to OpenAI. This means that the would-be's may have a vested interest in the development of OSAI in partnerships (which they will likely try to co-opt). So funding will go into OSAI but they will try to control it's development and direction.
It's not too dissimilar to what we've been seeing with the recent institutional acknowledgement and "adoption" of bitcoin (albeit via ETFs).
It's a road full of snares, but it's the road we have to walk down.

I've been thinking about it, and I can see #nostr and the legacy internet kind of diverging in the near term. Centralized entities will continue to force controls onto the old internet, while nostr will continue to become ever more censorship resistant as it moves from #decentralized to #distributed in nature, even to the point that cutting off internet access won't be effective (am I overly optimistic about what I've seen lately with #Meshtastic?).
Eventually, the old internet will die, because the old guard can't innovate. At first they'll try to copy or mimic elements of the new nostr internet, but it will get so far ahead of them that they can't keep up. And the old internet will "die" in that it will no longer have any new developments.
Meanwhile, nostr and bitcoin will both continue to develop and become more adaptive to new society needs and pressures under the proof-of-work and value-for-value paradigm. This stimulates positive outlooks on the future and ever more creative problem solving. Many of these solutions will initially focus on cleansing the literal and metaphorical toxins out of our systems from living in a fiat world. But after that, who knows?

#asknostr What have you tried to bring friends/family and other contacts over to #nostr from centralized social media sites? What has been most successful?
Conversely, what was least successful?

2024-09-02 21:57:25

- reply

Decentralized is better than centralized, but still allows for localized centers of control, which some people would prefer. Distributed is better for this who want the freedom to have their own unmitigated control.
It's similar to the arguments of minarchism vs anarchism.

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.

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.

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 !
