Tonight the northern hemisphere can look right above the sunset to catch the brightest comet in over a decade.

Centralized social media is like being unarmed. If governments come after them and shut them down or ask to remove profiles or posts there's nothing I can do. Decentralized protocols, like Nostr, are like being armed. It doesn't prevent governments coming after you or the platforms, but you have tools to fight back. And, the fight will come so prepare for that. Some people will go down, but hopefully more will stand up and keep it going. That's the difference, here you are armed. Not safe, but empowered.

Marcel Duchamp said the act of choosing was the intention that made his ready made art art. Even in a one step process of an ai prompt and a result, the human chooses to present it as art and that makes it art. The fact that it ruffles feathers and makes people hem and haw is art in itself. You can fight progress all you want, but you can't define art. Many have tried and yet art marches on. ✌️

Incentives aren't bribes and people putting data on chain isn't bad actors. It's just possible and miners go where they can make money like everyone else on the planet. "I'll just make it impossible for anyone to use the chain because I say so" is derangement.

2023-12-18 00:39:50

This is who your industry leaders give 10s of millions of diollars to and lift up. This is mentality defended here by most. Authoritarian lunacy. Doesn't understand incentives, has no faith in the chain wants to control what everyone on earth does to the point of breaking the chain to do it. If being on X is selling out what the fuck is this? If using other chains to sign contracts, loan money or make money is shit, wtf is this? Nahhh this isn't freedom, free markets, or the future.

POS chains can't handle inscriptions. Arbitrum shit down for 15 minutes and Avalanche had transaction costs go from pennies to over $20. The fact that Bitcoin can handle it (all be it with a little stress) is a positive, it's a proof of pow. Time stamping is utility and utility is king. The hype and garbage stuff will dye out, some art and value items will continue. The lessons and use cases are set in stone. Overall this is a positive for Bitcoin.

I got it free in 2009/10 don't remember exactly. Bought maybe $10 worth, but it was free, so wasn't a need. I'm not new and not against Bitcoin. I think it's the most beautiful tech of of century. It's freedom tech. I had high hopes for it and still think it will be a standard layer under many daily transactional layers in the future. It's just very disappointing to see the new class of the last few years be so closed minded, controlling, refusing innovation, salty and petty about new iterations, experiments and free markets. It's boomercoin now, stagnant with gatekeepers and a community that worships figureheads and slogans. Just sad man.

That's incorrect. In the physical space copies have been made many times and fakes. It takes teams of experts and carbon dating and they still get it wrong. On the blockchain the creation and sale are immutably recorded forever. Provenance is everything in art. It's perfect provenance.

Coming from the digital art space this is wrong, but comes to the correct conclusion. It won't be a problem if Bitcoin is ever used as currency because it will price out 99% of creators and collectors. The scarcity part is way off, there's plenty of scarcity in the digital space and plenty of collectors including from the trad art world and institutions. I've heard lightening was having problems, they'll have to figure it out, but main chain will price it out.

Censoring ordinals and high fee transactions. He allegedly confirmed it in person, he liked a tweet saying so, and people tracking the pool confirmed it. It's aa huge loss of profit for miners. I don't see how this encourages decentralization or censorship resistance. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My experience as a decentralizion enthusiast who is fairly tech savvy and was excited about the possibilities of nostr: it has boomer energy, difficult discoverability (of people, topics, and all the awesome "apps"), it puts too much on the user. No ability to protect yourself from bad actors.
Boomer energy: stuck on ideology in a faith without works kind of way. This comes from the Bitcoin mentality ie "this is the future, it's the way and the light" ...but it hasn't solved peer to peer completely after 15 years.
Discover: search and community is lacking, reliant on hashtags you have to stumble on.
User ask: average user is retarded, I'm retarded most days, just let me click around I don't want to write a program myself to do basic tasks.
Good things: vibe is friendly, builders ship a lot and fast, zaps are cool, ui is better than blue sky, minds, mastodon, urbit etc

People who can't hear about chains that must not be named cover your ears... Okay check out what farcaster and warpcast are doing for discoverability and community finding. They got it right or at least in the right direction with easy to add topic lists. I asked before about social clients adding an easy click list of popular tools and clients that do music, streaming,stores etc. I was sent one website that keeps a list, it needs to be in each app.
