it's things like this that make me believe that balaji is an honest actor View quoted note →

the dystopian propaganda speak of the word "tax break" is wild to me making it seem like it's a gift when in reality it's just the government won't confiscate -- or at least won't confiscate as much of -- your property for a particular thing

you think Chris Dixon will go on any bitcoin podcasts to try and convince the people he needs the most that "blockchain" outside of bitcoin has any utility?

it may take time but peak apple was when steve jobs was still alive and they have been in decline as a company ever since predatory, anti customer behavior like this only happens in non-founder led companies "protecting profit" rather than adding value for the good of the world they have fat pockets and jobs left them with amazing products so it may take a while but i think the writings on the wall

actions by apple today show that most regulation written in good faith usually ends up as regulatory capture and stifles innovation

A prerequisite for nostr succeeding is figuring out the UX around your keys while keeping them incredibly secure That’s v bullish for bitcoin imo

Just asked Bard why it was legal for banks to use customer deposits to generate yield, and here are some nice blurbs from the response: "It is legal for banks to use consumer deposits for bank yield because it is a necessary part of the banking system. Banks need to generate income in order to cover their costs and generate profits. Bank yield is one of the primary ways that banks generate income." "Without bank yield, banks would not be able to lend money to businesses and consumers. This would have a negative impact on the economy. Additionally, without bank yield, banks would not be able to generate profits for their shareholders. This would make it difficult for banks to attract capital, which could destabilize the banking system." "Overall, there are good reasons why it is legal for banks to use consumer deposits for bank yield. Bank yield is essential for a healthy and stable banking system, and it is protected by government regulations and FDIC insurance." The 'essential for a healthy and stable banking system' is classic

Serious question: You think balaji is shitting his pants about nostr? He’s invested so much money in decentralized social and it’s right here on nostr yet he’s nowhere to be found You secretly think he saw nostr and all the energy and what it achieves (without a token) and thought ohh fuck and is acting like he doesn’t notice it yet?
