A moment ago I was listening to some music before bed, when I found myself really enjoying the song. So I picked up my phone wanting to show my appreciation by sending some sats and … wait, where is the zap button? Just for a moment, I was irritated that the app I wasnt working and I couldn’t send something to the composer, but then realty set back in and I realised this is the norm, most apps can’t do that. I haven’t been using #nostr for all that long, but it has already fundamentally changed the way I think about ... a lot of things. This is the way. Thanks for making the experience so intuitive and easy @primal and @Fountain , so that I can zap magic internet money to ANYONE on the planet! There is still much to do. And of course, shout out to “Hayato Sumino, Human Universe”: 🎼

Maybe I am missing something here, but I don’t seen the point in #ordinals on the #bitcoin chain. 1st, It’s trying to give more value to sats than what they are actually worth… which is odd to me. Are people just trying to make a quick buck here? 2nd, It’s taking up space that could rather be used by legitimate transactions. (maybe there is a general benifit for increasing network usage, but I get the feeling it’s not a great balance). 3rd, I think it makes Bitcoin look like other crappy web3 chains with magic NFTs that are suddenly worth massive amounts of money. That’s not what Bitcoin is. Bitcoin is more than that. Bitcoin is not designed nor intended for ordinals, and I don’t think that it should be. That’s my 2 cents. Please feel free to comment if you disagree. I always look for different views. Perhaps there are additional benefits that I don’t yet see.

Light is a magical thing #sunset

Trust is essential in life, there is no getting around it. The only thing that we can choose, is who and what to trust. The #Bitcoin network gives us the choice to trust thousands of smart, forward thinking people around the world (developers, miners, node runners, and normal users) with our money, our wealth, our time and energy, instead of a handful full of bankers and politicians. To me, that is far better than any central bank or government can ever offer.

Enjoy the little things in life GM

This message is partly a test to see if sending works… I think the previous one I sent didn’t work... But it’s also a question about #Primal . For some reason the “Latest” feed loads indefinitely on my side, and nothing comes up. The 24hr most popular one works though. Is this a known bug or am I doing something stupid maybe?

Hi all, I’ve heard lots about Nostr and am keen to join a better social media… do I call Nostr a social media? Guess I’ll find out, got lots of learning to do!! 📚⚡️ But if it’s anything like #Bitcoin , then I have no doubt this is going quite the ride!
