Oh wait I think I know what it is. So many people on here state their opinions as if they are the only correct ones and are fact, rather than acting like there is room for nuance, discussion, and differing opinions.
I then often tend to feel the need to argue back, which I don’t feel good doing.
I guess posts that stir up negativity and strong reactions on social are always the ones that win.

I have no comments on the above scenario, because I wasn’t there and don’t know enough about the situation and patient (doctors and therapists are allowed to have interests, like Coachella or whatever, outside of their practice though).
I will say tho that tik tok actually can be a good learning tool, at times. It is also good for stupid fun at times. Have you used it?

I think one thing that bothered me is that a lot of people were skeptics of all control/power overreach/government/etc….and then trump and Elon came into power and everyone was just like cool?
I unfollowed a lot of people tho so not sure if that’s still the case.
But that’s not only it, and I’m not quite sure what else it is about nostr lately. I’ve taken long breaks, but I’m here for now.

2025-04-17 11:18:24

I think most social medias have been accused of becoming echo chambers of some sort, whether it’s the entire platform, or user specific algorithm. Do we think the same is true for nostr? I’d say likely.

What changed? I agree it hasn’t been the same, but haven’t quite been able to put my finger on it. Increased distance from reality?

I’m thinking about people with pseudonyms, If you have more than one account, wouldn’t it have the same ip address and dox you

2024-09-29 17:07:01

I am not even a tech person, and remember 20 years ago using ip addresses to see who was reading my live journal. How is it that on a protocol like nostr, where there are so many nyms, ip addresses are so easily exposed? Seems like a big deal.
Does privacy even exist anymore?

Do you think there is an industry that exists for anons/bots/anyone that doesn’t want their real life persona associated with their social persona…and within this industry, they hire actors to represent them in real life? But they all sign nda’s, so no one knows this industry actually exists? Just a theory of mine.

I really, truly appreciate your time and this conversation. It’s been very informative. I still don’t think I’m convinced it’s the best, and that I can fully see what everyone sees, but I will definitely take responsibility for some of that. Probably requires a lot more research/reading, and to be honest, I start zoning out when I start reading the long, technical pieces. Thanks for the normie friendly explanations.

This is where you start losing me, and I feel as though I’m not smart enough. How does a normal, non-tech person acquire bitcoin then, if not through a centralized exchange? Seems as though people here feel those are insecure (and you are still sort of beholden to a company?), but then it’s not for everyone/anyone to find, only extremely technical people and/or companies?

Who decides what the reward is? Is that part of the original concept from satoshi? If you find a bitcoin, shouldn’t it be yours?

Technically speaking, I’ve tried to move bitcoin, even through an exchange, which I know people are opposed to, and found it to be difficult. Don’t think self custody even feels possible for a non-tech person like me.

Also, What makes it the “truth”, as someone just replied on one of my posts? Why does bitcoin fix this (everyone here seems to think it fixes everything)? What about it changes the world? What makes it different than every other cryptocurrency (other than the 21m limitation - I think that part makes sense)? Why couldn’t another version of bitcoin just be created, also with a limitation?
That may be too many questions to answer :)

Well I guess I can start with, how does one get discovered? I know there are only 21 million in existence, and “mining” is the process of finding them, but don’t really get what that means. Maybe because I don’t know how to code.
