'If you’re not having fun in the bitcoin space you’re doing it wrong.'

You have no idea how much of my current understanding of Bitcoin is shaped by your essays 🧡. I am just 24, and when I was in college I thought to myself no way in hell will I be burnt out till my mid 30s at least. So I kept pushing myself and reached a breaking point just months ago. I had to leave my job, rethink my life and have been working on getting my life back on track again, which is a much slower process than I would have liked it to be. Thanks for everything you have done. And anyone who is reading this, take care of your health, detach yourself from your work, and try not to take life too seriously. Remind yourself of things that truly matter every day.

Bitcoin's price doesn't go up because of some magical spell. It does because of it's properties, which make it a superior form of money/asset compared to everything else. Those properties are largely lost if the majority of us end up using custodial solutions. The ability to self custody is a must, which is why lightning was an important innovation and further research should be celebrated. Whether or not people do it is a matter of UX, convenience, and education, but the option needs to be there for people who want to.

John Carvalho thinks we will end up recreating Hypercore (or Slashtags more specifically) while trying to solve all the edge cases / problems of Nostr. I think even if we do so, it will be worth it. Learning while developing in public, each decision documented in chats, GitHub issues is very very valuable. There is barely any information on why Hypercore works the way it does. Same is true for most other alternatives.

all other decentralized social or application protocols before nostr made the mistake of trying to appeal to the geniuses. nostr is kinda retarded, it is welcoming of people like me and has a much better DX i see a similar thing with ecash protocol. i find this analogy useful: fedimint ≈ hypercore cashu ≈ nostr
