regardless, chatting with strangers online won't last much longer.
there are already twitter bots indistinguishable from real users, eventually you'll only be able to identify close friends as being human.

what's the difference between gold and metal in your mind?

to the extent we can measure value, it comes from the utility of the object in question. The blockchain has extremely limited utility.
How can we measure utility? A good starting point is how many people are using it, like I said.

in effect, whatever the mechanism, crypto or any other commodity is less stable than USD.
you can argue a benefit to a fixed money supply all you want, I'm just observing reality.
crypto IS less stable than USD.

you're brainwashed and misinformed.
gold has not outperformed bonds or stocks historically.

well, like the 2009 internet, there weren't many people lmao.
there's a beauty to your online circle being limited to a few high quality people.

imo it's a coincidence.
give it time, users move in waves.

stuff uploaded to odysee can be removed from the website.
theoretically it can be maintained by hosts using the underlying protocol LBRY, but in practice odysee is just a centralized YT alternative.

why not raise VC?
as long as you avoid the possibility of a hostile takeover, funding could mean the difference between life and death for nostr.

crypto has very little intrinsic value compared to the amount invested in it. The only legitimate users of crypto are drug dealers and political dissidents, and they number in the thousands.
99.9% of "crypto" activity is not legitimate.

if you're trying to "store" value away, you want that value to still be there when you check later.
if you instead want to take value you have now, and have way more in the future, you're not "storing" anything.

regarding "what does stable mean" you answered your own question, in the same way you are getting x% more or less eggs per dollar over time, you're getting a y% more or less eggs per crypto coin over time.
the variation in y over time is wayyy higher than x, hence it's not stable

I'm asserting that there is no legitimate value prop for crypto other than anonymous transactions resistant to deplatforming.

2023-02-02 05:05:33

it's a bad idea to hold crypto unless it's inconvenient for you to frequently use exchanges.
crypto is a bad store of value
a good store of value is stable, crypto is not stable, USD and US Treasury bonds are incredibly stable.

2023-02-02 05:04:09

web3 is a scam
almost all crypto currencies have no intrinsic value
the only legitimate use for crypto are anonmyous payments resistant to deplatforming, which is why the only legitimate users are criminals and political dissidents.

what's the source on the 15% figure?
It seems probable that the death rate is higher based on the unexplained heart failures we've seen, but I would be surprised if more than a 1%-2% of deaths are caused by the vaccine.

issuing a token is the fraudster's way of raising money.
either sell equity, take out debt, solicit donations, or issue bonds registered with the SEC - tried and true

telegram's solution has been to have the App Store clients display messages that have been censored with a message advising users to use a different client.
I hope you would consider their approach, or if you have talked about this before I'd be super interested to read it.

#[0] how will Damus respond to censorship requests from the Apple appstore? Element.io was removed from some of the app stores briefly because dissident political speech was visible in the public rooms, although it was reinstated when they cracked down.
