It's mind blowing that you can earn zaps here and spend it somewhere locally at a merchant that accepts bitcoin or using something like bitrefill. People don't seem so impressed when I tell them but I think it's huge

Is it important to "debate" guys like schiff? He still would not admit that he is wrong about bitcoin even if he secretly knew it. The man sells gold for a living. I just sometimes feel like it's a waste to debate him?

Love using nostr. Was a breath of fresh air when I first started using it and now it's my daily news outlet. And the best part is I can directly give some value back as I receive valuable/entertaining information. Unreal

Think it will still take a few years before people value it enough... It feels like no one knows about it and those that do know see it as 'n pure investment play and have a small amount allocated and don't see it as "opt-out" at all. Most will likely just sell for fiat if bitcoin appreciates rapidly enough...

If I was a veteran blogger or anything like that I would start putting up my videos on nostr just because of the financial incentives. If I was starting out I would do the same. You can only benefit?

What's the value of a neutral, global, incorruptible, permissionless, instant payment and store of value system? Apparently it's $1t? I don't know, it seems to me that it is worth a lot more than that in a world with trillions of dollars of transactions done daily on a political, location limited, fraudulent, permissioned, slow payment and theft of value system?

Back when money was actually money in my country (made from silver). Going to either exchange it for the new money (sats), or put it in a frame next to the Bitcoin Whitepaper as an ornament in my office

We all know how this is going to end. Talks about "doing it right" isn't going to make those in charge do it right. There is no incentive for them to do it right. There is only incentive to loot

To be honest, not sure what a relay is exactly. Still figuring things out. Just noticed that in ZA, nobody really knows about bitcoin, so I thought it would be useful to have a community where people could talk about it and ask stuff, you know?

I always find it funny when people say that you don't need any more guns. If you don't know what your adversaries are up to, the only way you will find out that you are not secure enough, is if you are attacked and cannot adequately defend your property/life
That's why the biggest armies in the world keep expanding, because they can't possibly know everything that their enemies are busy with, so they continuously make it more expensive to attack them, by expanding their defense/offence capabilities
You won't know you are secure enough, until reality teaches you that you are not. It's just natural. So some people will always want to increase their capacity to defend their property. They are also the ones best equipped to fight off an attack
Any written law is just an abstract form of power that has to be rooted in reality. Your property is only yours as long as you have the capabilities to defend it as yours (or the entity you outsourced that responsibility to has the capability and incentive to defend it on your behalf)

Only been here for a couple of days. Took some time to understand and setup the basics
It's so refreshing to be here. The news, the zaps and, of course, the memes. It's just great
Haven't seen a single post about "btc going to 1m" or "btc will melt faces at 100k" and crap like that
Guess that's just the difference between people buying bitcoin to chase more dollars and the people buying it to change the world

Same here. I was promised it would "open so many doors" for me and blah blah blah... It's a complete joke and everyone just keeps playing along on the platform.

Man, LinkedIn is a cesspool. Non-stop posting of "look at me, look how well I am doing, look at my new car, look at my new job and how excited I am about it, I love my job and current employer so much"
Everyone there feels fake. I have talked to people in person about how shit their job/boss is and then they would turn around and post the most grateful post about their current job and how the company truly cares about the employees and shit like that
It's probably a great place for employers to find the biggest ass kissers, but not good for much else

1. Never share your private keys with anyone
2. Keep your private keys safe, and only accessible to you
3. Never send someone money to buy Bitcoin for you (it's a lot easier than you might think to just buy your own Bitcoin and to custody it in your own non-custodial wallet)
4. Be wary of sharing personal information on the internet (or this community). Once it's out there, it's out there and may make you susceptible to exploit in the future
