The United States dollar is not owned by the US. It is a private currency owned by the US Federal reserve which is a private institution.
USDT is a private currency owed by the tether corporation
If you live in the United States, you are paid in a private currency every day in the form of federal reserve US dollars.
You can use a private currency to pay your taxes and you can take out loans that are payable in that currency from all US banks.
Tether directly competes with the federal reserve dollar, which is a product of the US federal reserve.
US treasury bills back tether in addition to other assets.
Nothing backs the US dollar except the legal history of being able to pay your debts with it, and the usefulness of its function within the banking infrastructure.
Tether is directly aligned with the United States treasury department. The federal reserve is in direct opposition to the United States treasury department.

only way to refinance the US debt is to have low interest rates
only way you're gonna force low interest rates is if you have a recession or a massive unemployment crisis
therefore the only thing that matters is creating a recession

yes anything to make production cheaper rather than more expensive for buyers of the goods. but that implies that you can make the stuff in the first place

2025-02-04 11:43:43

If cheap foreign goods are bad and a gov need tarrifs to prevent the foreign cheapness, then free foreign stuff would be even worse
It sounds absurd that free stuff would be a problem
Tariffs make a population work harder domestically for what they can acquire for less work abroad

Creating sub lists from my follow list would also be great. Everyone is always part of the default list but can be segregated to other lists either manually by the users or automatically by the app based on content

In order to filter a list, the list must first exist.
Then after you have built your lists, the apps, algos filters, etc can do want they want to the lists you have built

2025-01-05 14:52:22

- reply

Yes if you don't do anything they all go on your follow list
However if you don't give the users the choice for lists then the apps that do give list choice will be the ones power users will migrate to

2025-01-05 14:51:11

- reply

The app filters based on content (long form, just images, music etc)
If you give an app a list that it can't deal with you will be prompted to choose a different list

2025-01-05 14:47:36

- reply

Apps can create lists for you if you like them to be in charge of your list or you can manage them yourself

2025-01-05 14:43:57

- reply

Yep. And you can make your own lists.
Find a new npub you like and put them on the appropriate list
If they are on the wrong list then you move them.
If they belong on multiple lists then you adjust
If you don't care about lists then you just follow everyone

#nostr is really notes and other stuff transmitted by relays curated via lists

2025-01-05 14:28:19

When you follow someone they go on list #0 and that is your default list. If you want to curate other npubs you make other lists that can have the same as list #0 but could be different
When you join an app it should ask which lists go on your feed and give you the ability to change that list for the default feed at any time.
Very few people want algorithms and many many people want lists

2025-01-05 14:24:24

People should never need to worry about event kind
They should just worry about their lists of individuals and apps will show kind specific content suited for that app
Create a list of musicians and the music app with show the mp3s they post
Create a list of photography npubs and the olas app will show you their jpgs
