I get that. Same goes for Bitcoiner. I love hanging out with them.
But I really want to tell people about these solutions (Nostr / Bitcoin), so they also have the opportunity to opt for them.
Just like someone once told me about them. My life changed so much for the better. I want that opportunity for everyone.

What if you would require signing with nsec? (No idea if that’s possible just an idea)

@npub1u8l…turz What are your thoughts on this?
Ist there a way to prevent this or at least show that the zap did come from someone else as a boost or something?

2023-07-30 16:57:16

- reply

Isn’t that a problem? If it shows up as my zap, but it wasn’t mine, then that would give maybe a different kind of signal (feedback) that I did not intend to give.
What do you think?

2023-07-30 16:48:45

I have a question about #Zapplepay.
In theory you could choose to power boost someone else right? If I would connect my wallet with someone else’s npub?
Then every time he / she likes something I would zap for / as that person.
Is this possible? If so… is that a good thing?

Interesting you see it that way. I had a totally different takeaway from the show.
I think that in the end both humans and the AI are showing there true colors. It comes down to the attitude and the decisions they make in there journey to determine who they are.
For me it represents the freedom to choose. To change ones attitude about a situation, make the decision to do something differently and execute on it, in a way that is true to yourself.

Bitcoin can mean something different to different people or groups.
I feel that should be okay, as long as this is not hostile or destructive.
We want to build a new foundation that in my mind can not be black or white.

It does take some elements of it though. Shared fundamental values come to mind.
Maybe people hear Bitcoiner say things like: “Bitcoin fixes this.”, so they think it is to good to be true.
Well sometimes I can’t believe how beautifully engineered this thing is.

I would like to see #Nostr as the global agora in cyberspace. For this to happen we need to gather and display the knowledge for those who come next.
There is so much knowledge being shared on #Nostr. In form of links (to podcasts, websites, videos, books), but also in form of discussions and notes.
The thing is that these information are not noticed by the people that weren’t present in that conversation. It’s also hard to find things.
So I’ll propose a library on #Nostr. Alexandria. Decentralized in a global cyberspace.
How it might work:
- Voting system through #zaps for content quality
- Combine with highlights (#[4])
- Tags through #zap note (u have to vote and “pay” to add tags)
- Highly valued content could be uploaded to special relays that just admit nodes with certain zap level and zap tags
- Inspired by Fedi: every community (for example #bitcoin Nostr) has their library and it’s relay, financed through split zaps (for every zap I make I give like 2% to the library relay)
- Could be a zero sum community model that the relay, if it gets to many zaps for the costs, pays back out to donors
- Community cares about there knowledge so higher quality is expected
- Community’s of different content can form links to point to crossover knowledge
- Relays could be federated, protected by guardians
- These relays can be found by hashtags
- Searchable through #tags, valued by #zaps
Next time history rhymes I want the next generation to find our discussions, knowledge and solutions. It might proof valuable, but in the very least it saves a lot of time.
Thank you #[9] for the inspiration.

We should share more good podcasts, spaces recordings and stuff for people to listen to.
Is there a chain or hashtag for this yet? Or can we build a nostr library based on sats for the best episode? Sats going directly to participants of the space or podcast (best case).

It is Gresham's law in action.
There will come a time when it doesn’t apply anymore. This will happen bit by bit, when people decide it is worth it.
It could be for example that spending bitcoin is more convenient, quicker or cheaper then the alternative.
Then it will become the medium of exchange and later on unit of account.
It is the gradual process of becoming money. This definition will not be true for everyone at the same time.

The question is: What is appropriate and how do we define value?
The only solution I can think of is a free and open market.
That’s also why a common rule set, equal for all, is so important, imo.

Wealth distribution should be appropriate to the value one provides, imo.
As Will & Ariel Durant put it in The Lessons Of History:
“Economic development specializes functions, differentiates abilities, and makes men unequally valuable to their group.”
#bitcoin is, in my view, the best shot we got for a level playing field.

Value, in my mind, is always achieved through scarcity, because it is something that is hard to obtain.
Something is scarce because you need either a lot of work, a lot of time or both to get it.

🎯 My favorite quote by Oscar Wilde is:

It always resonated with me. I think #nostr and #bitcoin brings people back to a value based mindset - low time preference.

On #nostr we are the algorithm, for now.
So sharing and posting what you find valuable is more important then ever.
I would like to see more human gatherer accounts for valuable content, also for different kinds of topics.
I would probably subscribe to them.
They should be side by side with algorithms that I can choose, turn on and off or even edit myself.
We could share those self-made “helper algorithms”.

Money is the medium in which we store our time and energy.
Human community’s of a certain size (Dunbar’s number) need this tool to work, live and flourish together.
#Bitcoin with its easy rule set and open and transparent way could fill the role of the money we need, in my opinion.

Deleting something online is, in my opinion, an illusion anyway.
At legacy social media people share, screenshot etc. and so the information still exists after its “deleted”.

My opinion:
Money is not an investment.
It’s also not a means of diversification.
It is a store of your time and your energy.
The problem is that what most people call money today does not represent these fundamental properties anymore.
What is money?
…real money?
…hard money?

Well worth a read in my opinion:
Medici Money
(Banking, Metaphysics and Art in the Fifteenth-Century Florence)
- by Tim Parks
Topics include:
- family empire
- politics of city, state and church
- intersection: money, power, democracy
- banking and trade
- two currency system
- currency devaluation
It is so weird to me how much of what is written in this book and happened approx. 550years ago resembles some events today.
The question is:
Is the future gonna resemble this kind of events in a potentially hyperbitcoinized world or are they prevented by it?

I meant the way of thinking for yourself. The deeper you go in the rabbit hole, the more you think consciously about your responsibilities and the trade-offs of outsourcing any part to a third party.

#Bitcoin reintroduces individual responsibility.

2023-03-05 14:16:40

Zaps as part of the #Nostr incentive structure are quite game changing.
It is pure signal. Someone is choosing to value a contribution with a scarce asset.
It’s a free market for information.

For me the ratio of [valuable content / time spend] on Nostr is much higher then on Twitter.

I feel like the people that understand and use the #Bitcoin and #Nostr protocols have at least some common ground.
It is like a foundation. On top of which we can disagree and have discussions that bring the individual and the ecosystems forward.
It just feels right to be here.

2023-02-27 20:03:25

The option for everyone on Nostr to decide what they want to see through the relay selection, both paid and free, is democratizing the process of content moderation.
Everyone chooses the rule sets (relay rules) they want to follow.
