That's why I'm enjoying it so much. Less wasted time, no information overload, more focus on what's important and what I'm interested in.

I get where you're going but that's not really an answer. This isn't some degen crew like with FTX, there are some seriously smart people running the ship and being fully transparent about everything they're doing. I think it's more likely that more companies follow their lead.

I would add that A LOT of mental health issues are caused by sugar / carbs due to relative hypoglycemia. Most people have no clue that's even a thing.

The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) says that people adopt new technology due to two primary factors:
1) Perceived usefulness
2) Perceived ease of use
If you're building on #bitcoin or #nostr, this is how we get more users. Create platforms and products that solve genuine problems, or make existing things easier, and make them easy to use.
Simply being a decentralized twitter is not perceived as useful (by most people!). That's the sad truth.

Here's a log-log chart of the #bitcoin price in relation to global M2. As you can see, the trend is a straight line, indicating a power law relationship. An R squared of 0.9 is astonishing, indicating very high correlation.
This is an important relationship to be aware of. Many prominent bitcoin analysts are beginning to highlight this as global M2 trends upward again.

another way to put this is that it simply HAS to keep increasing for the system to remain stable. If you look at a chart of US M2, it's been increasing exponentially for the past 50+ years. It's the debt based system and rising debt within that system that requires continual expansion of the money supply.

Thanks, great report. One thing: You mention the correlation between BTC and global M2 is 0.94 but don't say how you came to that number? I'm interested in what method was used here.

Why Quantum computing won't be a threat to #bitcoin any time soon:
First, some basic things to understand...
Quantum computers are computers that operate on the principles of quantum mechanics, which states that the properties of particles (e.g., spin) are described as existing in a superposition of states (i.e., there is no fixed state) until measured, at which point a definite state is observed.
Classical computers use transistors that can be in one of two states (0 or 1). These are controlled via logic gates. However, quantum computers are based on "qubits" (quantum bits) which can exist in a superposition (i.e., a linear combination of 0 and 1).
The probability that a qubit will "collapse" to either 0 or 1 once measured is related to the amplitude for that particular quantum state. Thus the workings of a quantum computer involve manipulating these amplitudes through quantum gates.
Now, quantum computers do not work by processing multiple solutions at the same time and then automatically outputting the correct answer.
Instead, quantum algorithms are designed to manipulate the amplitudes of various possible states through interference, enhancing the probability of correct solutions and canceling out incorrect ones. This process increases the likelihood that, when you measure the system, you get a useful answer!
This is where things get troublesome...
Today's largest quantum computer (from IBM) has 1,000 qubits. But the number of amplitudes grows by 2^n where n = the number of qubits. Thus there are 2^1000 amplitudes (i.e., parameters) to manipulate. That's more than the number of atoms in the observable universe!!
Okay, say they somehow manage to figure out how to manipulate that many parameters in an efficient way, the real question is, how many qubits would you need to crack modern cryptography? Such as that used in #bitcoin?
You would need millions of qubits...
That means having the ability to precisely control and manipulate more than 2^1000000 parameters, an absolutely astronomically large number. Good luck!
Perhaps it could be achieved one day, perhaps it never will. We don't know. But the point is, bitcoin is perfectly safe, and will be for some time!

This is a great chart. BTC price (black) and global M2 (blue). The two are highly correlated, as is often pointed our by @npub1k7v…c04l.
Historically, #bitcoin bull markets have coincided with increases in global M2... which has just begun to increase again now. Hold on to your hats!

On what basis?

2024-09-15 02:11:38

https://m.primal.net/KqOR.png
According to the #bitcoin M2 pricing model, the price *should* have reached a high of ~$100k ish in 2021 before the bull market was cut short, making a retracement down to $50/$60k completely normal.

The #bitcoin hash rate continues to climb (it's been growing at an exponential rate; see purple trend line).
When the price hit a high of $66k in 2021, hash rate was about 70% LOWER than it is now (current price is $54k). Think about that!
Bitcoin is a technology, a protocol, and should be assessed as such.
Network is strong. Fundamentals are strong. Price will catch up.
Lez go! @npub1k7v…c04l

Sentiment in the crypto space (includes #bitcoin) is extremely low.
Interpret that how you will!

"XPro" is now out (previously Tweetdeck) which is now only accessible to blue checks. @npub1qny…95gx continues to be right.

2023-08-11 05:50:59

Is there a #nostr Instagram equivalent? I want somewhere to store my happy memories (photos) from my travels. I'm DONE with Instagram's algo pushing awful, mind-numbing content on me every time I open the app. W.t.f.

2023-08-11 05:48:20

If China is hated it's because the media has brainwashed people into hating them to distract from their own corrupt financial leeches.

2023-08-10 11:58:46

Agreed. Over engineering the base layer is a surefire way to screw up Bitcoin.

I deleted my Twitter account and am now full time into nostr! Loving it so far. So much less toxicity and hate. Really opens your eyes to how the algorithms push that on you.

The lack of hidden algorithms is a big deal.

Genuine question: what's to stop intelligence agencies from creating millions of fake accounts and flooding nostr with their propagandist bullshit like they do with Twitter?
