I don’t think tipping should be expected at places that use this system. No one says hello when you sit down. No one takes your order. No one (employee) talks to you. Someone just hands you your food/drink.
How is this different than a worker at Burger King with respect to tipping? They are all just tipped food runners. https://image.nostr.build/0b3d35e7316379c0e735dcae24d06fec78425650e1614e5e8eb260911a08cd4c.jpg

I didn’t expect to see him pushing inscriptions and yet here we are

2024-05-02 12:07:34

In five years Saylor and the loudest mouthpieces at Bitcoin Magazine will be leading the charge to increase block size. They’ll say it’s needed to accommodate all the great new things (spam) they’ve put on chain.
They’ll reduce the decentralization by making impractical for plebs to run a node.
They’ll claim it’s for the better for #bitcoin when what they really care about it ROI.

2024-05-02 11:31:23

So Saylor’s plan to fight spam is to spam the nodes. 🙄
The orange check service looks to require a centralized server so inscribing to the chain is gratuitous.
This is shitcoins coming to Bitcoin. The comments on X are ridiculous.

I’ve been stacking my sats on @npub1ex7…vyt9 so I can manage my UTXOs before getting them into cold storage because they advertise you can withdraw as much of your Bitcoin as you want, when you want.
Not really the case though. You have to have Strike Instant or you are limited on your withdrawals (pretty damn severely in my case). Cash app limit is twice as high based on my limit on Strike.
How do you become a “most loyal user?” As is, it completely defeats the purpose of using the service. https://image.nostr.build/a9414cc3edd0ef2873bb07f3d10e653039f89078f4c9eba87ccea826c5f7fb7a.jpg

A. Not care about decentralization as much as you think and claim
B. Think that the separation of money and state is the primary issue and Bitcoin accomplishes this for you
C. Think decentralization and separation of state from money are equally important but just are behind the curve on this new Nostr tech
D. Captured in the golden handcuffs of uncle Elon and his X payouts from monetization and ads
E. Something else I’m missing

Did he just describe an attack vector a large state actor could pursue?
How much would it cost a government to drive fees up to a point where plebs would not be willing to transact?
How long would they need to maintain the upward fee pressure to reduce adoption, especially if bitcoin were becoming more broadly adopted as money?
Wouldn’t be immediately a problem for HODLers but could be for those that depend on transacting on-chain.

I will not report an account on Nostr. I honestly don’t even know who I would be reporting to and that seems contrary to the whole point of this protocol.
I will mute the 💩 out of accounts though. You keep saying whatever you want to say. Preserving the ability to express yourself however you desire doesn’t mean I need to partake.
