Definitely Zap-worthy news!
Let me load my Visa-wallet and send some KYC-AML approved money through a series of middleman while each connects my data and charges a fee.
Oh wait… it’s 2024. Isn’t there an alternative to using Visa?

In some ways, #Satoshi and #bitcoin created a Copernican or Newtonian paradigm shift. Once you understand the earth revolves around the sun, there’s no going back. And everything just makes more sense.
Similarly, the flat-earthers (modified analogy) literally can’t get their heads around the idea.
We’re living on different plants.
The one-way adjustment in worldview from no-coiner to bitcoiner is that drastic and everlasting.
And once orange-pilled it’s hard to remember what it was like before. Thankfully.
But also, let’s have some compassion for our flat earth friends and neighbors.
Ultimately, we need them to join us. I try and share one little observation from the future with my no-coiner friends every day. And you #nostr freaks help in so many awesome, funny, insightful ways. Thanks and keep it up.
Happy Friday #Nostr peeps!

Is it the “Stanford” that gives weight, or the people and the product? Can they be separated? If the latter, perhaps others will pick up the torch and continue to support the important work. Seems like complimentary work being done by others? Sadly, often ego and turf fighting get in the way of seeking efficiency and synergy for increased impact. And political pressure can influence - is there a way to inculcate from this? More freedom tech? Less influence if politics and money are separated? Thanks for sharing and spreading the news.

Definitely agree in general. I would add, as an investor in both, having others pay down the mortgage on property/housing that I may someday utilize, or others in my family way wish to use, is valuable in its own right. For this reason, real estate offers an interesting alternative investment category within “hard assets”.
Major caveat- much of the benefits of real estate investing accrue from how the tax code is written, while the benefits of #bitcoin are embedded in the protocol/network. And those fuckers are gonna slowly but surely change the tax code.

Okay, probably obvious, but not a programmer. But really enjoy the problem-exploration-brainstorming part and reading about all the exciting ideas manifesting across the planet daily :)
Community-led Mobility? Anything like this happening?
With something like #fedimint and #Nostr or whatever new
Crazy shit you all are working on, a circular transportation network seems totally possible… With a mix of transportation modes - buses, shuttles, smaller cars, e-bikes, bikes, etc - and the support system of mechanics, suppliers and finally fuel and administration - licenses, insurances etc. you’ve got all
the main pieces. Coordinated and shared costs without all the middlemen could be like a super advanced version of City CarShare or a modern-day Co-Op for Mobility. Transportation based on the ability to create peer-to-peer networks within a larger overlay connected by #value4value… with payment-for-service (riding, servicing, ride sharing/driving) could remove the various middleman - Uber, Visa, Hertz, AAA Autoshop, etc…
Soon enough we’ll have Robo-Taxi’s gunning for bikers across the country- and the Googles and BYDs and Fords are pretty far along in their effort to corner the Mobility-As-A-Service market.
Food for thought.

2024-05-31 06:36:09

I’m no lawyer and I sure as hell
Don’t want to play one anywhere… but what if there’s something to the legal precedent with the following: If memory serves, under the Citizen’s United case, Corporations, political action committees and “dark money” secured the constitutional right to “Speech” under the First Amendment, and by Speech we mean spending money (fiat, not #bitcoin)… in this case seemed to focus on a standard that independent (political) spending wouldn’t be enough to corrupt the system, so the Speech of firehosing campaign and lobbying cash is totally OK.
Seems like my independent spending of #Sats, #Zaps, or even some digital shitcoin should warrant some protection as Speech. Any constitutional lawyers on the relays? #AskNostr

In some ways, it might also be viewed as simply contributing to building a resilient community (physical and otherwise).
This looks a little different to each, each person, family and community, and we need to be talking about what are the needed elements… I’d say #bitcoin is one. And #Nostr. Some elements require greater degree of coordination. Our new ingredient is the ability to coordinate value across space and time without a central authority. The central authority now becomes our Community. Pretty freaking exciting. What’s next?!?

It’s the purpose beyond just financial enrichment that seems we’re struggling with as individuals and communities. In part, I think people just don’t really know how to seek engagement, purpose and motivation outside themselves beyond a few topics - religion, political tribalism, sports teams, etc.
However, just having a space like this where the influence of the money chasers isn’t overwhelming is incredibly powerful and inspiring- a bit like #bitcoin
