The masses under the control of a centralized authority, can pose a threat to the minority of freedom maxxers that you speak of.
The freedom maxxer should cater to the masses to keep the convenience of centralized authority unappealing to the masses
Thus keeping power away from centralized authorities that are easily corruptible.
Corruptible powers that could one day have power over the freedom maxxers because they didn’t care to secure the freedom and protection of the masses
Rule or be ruled
Help create a fair and free kingdom for all
Or fail to protect that
And live under an unfair and restrictive kingdom along with the masses

Watch the TikTok crowd be the ones to start the wildfire of bitcoinization as they setup their wallets on nostr for zaps, and start to use bitcoin on a day to day basis

I don’t plan to. Only hodlin
Was just curious about the situation

How do I edit and delete notes on nostr? Is that even possible?
If not. Why not?

What happens if you loaned out 1 BTC worth $65k
And the cost of 1 BTC rises to $1m, before the borrower can pay it back
Is the borrower just fucked? Or how would that play out?
Is than an intended feature of Bitcoin?
So that we’re incentivized NOT to lend money to each other, knowing deflation is inevitable and it might be impossible for the borrow to pay back that same slice of the pie in the future?
Idk

Most people still don’t understand bitcoin
Hell I don’t even fully understand it
Bitcoin education is lagging
Now a lot of “normie” capital/satoshis is gonna stay within corrupt blackrock and wall st hands when that could’ve been in the hands of an everyday Bitcoin banker that onboarded his community
Blackrock and wall st were smart enough to realize that if they made it super fucking easy, they can capture the inflows super fucking easily
Buy ETF, done. They take care of the rest
vs
Buy Bitcoin on exhange, get hardware wallet, learn the basics of Bitcoin, learn mnemonic seed phrases, learn how to use that hardware wallet, etc etc
That’s why Jack Dorsey might just dunk on all hardware wallet manufacturers because his focus is making it easy for the “normies”
Lesson in your enemies
Make it easy for people, they will pay you for it
Convenience matters

I don’t understand it
But that should also be his concern if he wants users to support Damus
That’s the same hubrjs that Linux users have that make people never want to try or use linux
Even tho Linux is better than macOS or windows
Don’t matter
Most people don’t know how to use it
So most people don’t use it

“Just use Primal” kinda sucks tho
Cause I trust and like Will more than the people behind Primal. At least I know who Will is and what he’s trying to aim for
And I can tell that Damus is technically superior
But I am literally using Primal to type this because the user experience is “slightly” better
And others might feel the same way too
But I rather Will capture that audience from big apps on Damus than have them go to primal
User experience matters
It matters so much that people stay on iPhone just to keep their messages blue instead green

Maybe it’s just my end. Maybe I don’t know how to make it work, but the attach wallet always gives me trouble. “Invalid nostr connection string”
Maybe I should just use alby wallet, idk
And idk exactly what I mean by fix Damus
Other than the idiot take that, “something about it, I just don’t like”
Maybe it’s that I’m too stupid and uneducated about the protocol in the first place. Like I get relays host the info and make it censorship resistant. But like that’s about it.
I’m not a dev, just speaking as a user
I get on Damus, I touch it for 5 minutes and get off
I don’t how nostr works. Why can’t I delete my posts? I’m confused.
I know part of the Damus goal is not to be doomscroll addictive
But I kinda wish it was, so I can doomscroll on Damus and support it instead of twitter
It’s most likely a small nostr user base that I’m indirectly placing the blame on Damus
As well as my own ignorance and failure to self-educate myself on the protocol
I just think that devs are forgetting that it’s important to teach your users how to take advantage of your tools.
The reason TikTok was so explosive was because it was super easy for users to pick it up and create with it and interact with it.
Damus doesn’t feel that way. I feel like I have to homework just to understand how to use it
Skill issue I guess
I’m probably just an idiot tbh

I get that. Zaps are pretty cool. God bless you for making it.
But if I can’t use Damus instead of twitter
I’ll simply won’t use Damus
I already like Primal more
You might need to focus on rebuilding those existing systems first. Foundation is important.
There’s no shame in creating a better wheel
Bitcoin is a better wheel
Damus is not a better wheel than twitter or any other social media app or content app or networking app. Or whatever Damus is aiming to be, idk
Fix Damus
I’m not even sure what your goal with Damus is or what paying “Purple” to support it would lead to
But I want to root for you Mr. Will
You seem like a genuine guy

Corporate tech companies sell digital crack
And unfortunately, I’m still a buyer
