Jade is hardly a success, will see if is around in a few years. How many HWW are there? Same for c-Lightning. There are other implementations out there. Much less funded companies and individuals have achieved much more.
I don’t want to shit on them, they have brilliant people on payroll, and have contributed immensely, specially early on, but you can’t help but feel something is lacking.

You don’t want to be the person that can explain exactly why something doesn’t work.
You don’t even want to be the person that can explain why it can work.
If you can really do that, then you are a person that can make it work.
Be *that* person (or at least try!).

It can and it will! My hope is we will value studying rethorical fallacies early on, psychological biases, etc more in the future. We could have a very basic open source list of these shortcomings, like some config setup everyone has to do at some point.

however, with money, you kind of know that you don’t know. But psychologically, you can be manipulated forever and never become aware of it.

Finally, the reason why I go with “it’s just a database” it’s because people STILL don’t know technically what it is, and saying “it’s digital gold” or “digital real estate” doesn’t mean anything to people who think gold or real estate (“all assets!1!!!!1!”) are manipulated.
I make it boring and basic on purpose.
*Then* do I go on why that db, with those characteristics, is perceived by many to be better money.

2024-08-20 08:37:23

For context, most people I deal with have left leaning sensibilities. Most are not economically knowledgeable and almost see being economically knowledgeable as a bad sign (“money should be simple!!”). Keeping politics away helps me keep the conversation going. I also keep the “flaws” on the forefront so I keep trust. I don’t want to be the “bitcoin guy”.
People have reached out to me privately on other social media but I don’t push resources on them, just tell them what *not* to do and how to keep it simple. I have some years on me now in Bitcoin to know it’s a personal thing, specially if it goes against many of your assumptions. I’m not going to convince anyone. I can barely teach anything to my offspring XD .

I know what fiat is, what I mean is that it’s database that keeps a ledger. But I didn’t even want use the word ledger because that’s opinionated. I want to get into why these digital numbers in a table are better than those digital numbers in a table.
My main point was that explaining 1971 or seashells to start the convo is silly.

2024-08-19 18:56:16

Most bitcoin explanations are cringe af.
Listen to me.
Bitcoin is a database, so is fiat. Bitcoins’ database is 1. decentralised and 2. synchs into a consensus in a novel as surprisingly robust way, 3. allowing any tx within its rules without censorship or ways to change the db in anyone’s favor. 4. It’s finite supply, this isn’t technological, it was a choice.
Because of all of this, some people use Bitcoin as money all over the world.
That’s it.

Where can I choose algorithms?

2024-08-19 16:40:51

- reply

My point though is:
1. it could be open source, so it’s not a black box, you’d know which choices were being made
2. We could have optionality between algos (many apps now have at least two algos to choose from
3. We could have an option to import different (community created ?) algos.
4. You could even have a UI to tweak an algos preferences
Instead, we’re like “chronological is the real deal” which is naïve, and doesn’t push anything forward

While tend to agree (just like a gene, a natuon that doesn’t reproduce can’t be easily categorised as succcessful), let’s not forget many of the less successful nations have higher birth rates (a steelman arg is higher birth rates are a response *against* a declining nation, but still )

2024-08-18 20:48:02

While immigration can solve the literal numbers problem, if there is no successful integration -new citizens share the main values of previous citizens- (and the bigger the immigration needed, the bigger the challenge), then you’d be replacing one set of values for another, not solving for why a specific set of values leads to inevitable lower birth rates

2024-08-18 18:47:39

This is like the paradox of choice but for values and opinions. The more we listen to stuff, the more we either doubt and despair or ossify and not take in any new data.
Most good values are shared across all humans, and learned early on, but we are psyoped to doubt ourselves and others. #note1tn8…pr0l

Nostr is “struggling” because it doesn’t have a CEO basically, and it’s kind of directionless.
Catering to an audience is the “right” step in marketing but not for a global audience.
We should competently solve some problem first.
IMO, Nostr solves the creators problem first: own your audience, monetise, and a second order effect is better content.
But like they say here, opinions are like assholes everyone has one.

Everyone tells you to leave Twitter but nobody tells you HOW.
I’m leaving Twitter and Instagram, but this isn’t mentally easy, social media is a perfectly dialled drug. I left FB a couple of years ago cold turkey and it wasn’t easy.
So HOW am I leaving Twitter?
1. I deleted the app. This makes it inconvenient to access the platform without the stress of deleting the account. This *should* be enough but eventually you are going to reinstall it.
2. I have a “good motive”. I left FB after getting in a lot of useless arguments regarding the pandemic. It felt draining, and it’s how Twitter feels now.
3. I’m a father now, and I “need to be the change I want to see in the world”. Social media corporations literally want to rot your brain. Even if you are a perfect content creator, you are just bringing potential victims to the platform. You work for the man, for no pay. And nobody is “just lurking”. Opt out, I know I am.
4. I’m going through all my bookmarks. It surprises me how “useless” they are. Yes, they look like “signal” but why and I saving them? To own somebody else? Am I building a case against the world? Grow up Carlos.
5. I *want* to share stuff I’ve learned as a human. But a big platform with bad incentives is worse than a small platform with good incentives by orders of magnitude. (Do I even need to figure this out? I already have people I love I can share those experiences with.)
6. If you are an aldult my age, “signal” shouldn’t really be found every x number of tweets. You should have a good mental model by now, a good set of heuristics and values, which should guide you in the right direction, whatever new data comes along.
What you think is signal is just confirmation bias most of the time.
7. You can’t change anyone on social media, we can barely teach our kids.
Your intentions don’t matter, your words don’t matter, only your actions. Kids teach you that.
Wish me luck.

Why both of one is better? Having 2 jobs is not a cake walk. He is a handsome man for sure. But in 2023 being an electrician is a far bigger flex. He would do better to be in front of the camera teaching his trade, to take advantage of both “skills”. I’m sure he would have a unique perspective. Also some people get into modelling for validation, which is not good (not saying that’s the case)
