If you weren't naive, you wouldn't be complaining about that people are flowing to Bluesky instead of Nostr.
You think that most people are sophisticated enough to magically grasp that organically decentralized protocols fare better than "centralized platforms" in a context of censorship ?
Get your fingers out of your anuses, guys.
Technology adoption is not necessarily driven by "rationality". Think about people who still traveled on horseback even if cars were far superior.

Hi Gigi, do you prefer writing in English or German ? Are there categories of topics you prefer to write about in German (your mother tongue) rather than English ?
Would appreciate your thoughtful insight 🫡

An industry whose services serve political outcomes will necessarily be political.
Example : consulting, journalism, investment banking

For Trump, Bitcoiners are nothing but a cow to milk.
America, stop being so cringe.

Example of bullshit : Artificial categorization of "maxis" implying different levels of "commitment" to the bitcoin maxi "ethos"

if you reckon it's outside of the legacy system then there is no point in thinking of such insignificant matters

2024-03-26 11:40:32

What legacy mainstream media outlets do you still consult on a regular basis (despite it being ripe with psyops) ? What value do you still find in it ?

Thanks Gigi 🧡

Make no mistake that behind every corporate "sustainability & climate" policy, there is a stupid team of consultants who worked 60h/week during 8 weeks to push beautiful slides to high-ranking execs for presentation in an executive committee or public communication.

You would be amazed if you new the amount of people out there making a very decent living talking about stuff they absolutely have no idea about...
They're called MBB consultants. Their real (dys)function in society is to be parasites.

Gentle reminder that bitcoiners who claim that it is impossible to remember 24 words are nothing but mental cucks.

How do you ethically concile being a hardcore bitcoiner and working a fiat job where you have to push fiat bullshit (such as sustainability and climate change) ?

My holidays in Croatia (Split, Hvar, Dubrovnik) are coming to an end.
Positives
1) Beautiful country
2) Nice weather
Negatives
1) Scammer mentality : starting 2023, Croatia adopted the Euro. Instead of just converting the prices from Kuna to Euro following the official exchange rate, most merchants jumped on the opportunity to rise prices (up to 50% in some cases) and scam people, especially to milk unsuspecting tourists. Ex : a taxi drive from Dubrovnik Port to my hotel would have cost me 18euros. Fortunately, my gf suggested using Uber, which meant that I ended up paying... 4 euros, because the price is determined by the algorithm leaving no room for the taxi scammers.
I live in France (minimum wage = 1200e), and life is cheaper there than Croatia (minimum wage = 600e). Doesn't make sense.
2) Cold, unfriendly people : croatians I came across didn't make me feel welcomed. They rarely smile or look at you straight in the eyes. They seemed like cold robots who don't give a fuck that you are visiting their country.

How can I run a relay ? How much storage data should I expect ?

I don't think it's related. The thugs on the streets are teenagers who communicate mostly via Snapchat.

Twitter is down while Nostr is not.
