Most of you have experienced 80% drawdowns in #Bitcoin price and can weather the volatility. What happens when traditional finance, #ETF holders, experience their first bear market of that magnitude? My bet is that BTC will be blamed when the economy contracts.

Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.

Number go up.

Updated from the beta release of #Primal on iOS. Are we not able to #zap with Alby anymore?

0 notes, 0 replies, 0 zaps. I keep getting a lot of new followers who have zero activity on Nostr but follow hundreds of people. I assume that they are bots. But why? Does anyone know what's behind these accounts? #asknostr

Instagram has reportedly blocked Jill Stein’s account. She is a US presidential candidate for the Green Party. One of the things I find most interesting about #nostr is its potential to circumvent gate-keeping and expand the reach of political actors.

The author of the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, James Madison, wrote extensively under an anonymous pseudonym. Along with his co-authors John Jay and Alexander Hamilton, he published The Federalists Papers under the name "Publius." The federalists wanted their readers to focus on the arguments rather than their personal identities. Madison was the primary author of our First Amendment and later became the 4th President of the United States.

Any creator of anything knows this feeling: You experience someone else’s innovative work. It’s beautiful, brilliant, breath-taking. You’re stunned. Their ideas are unexpected and surprising, but perfect. You think, “I never would have thought of that. How do they even come up with that? It’s genius!” Afterwards, you think, “My ideas are so obvious. I’ll never be as inventive as that.” I get this feeling often. Amazing books, music, movies, or even amazing conversations. I’m in awe at how the creator thinks like that. I’m humbled. But I continue to do my work. I tell my little tales. I share my point of view. Nothing spectacular. Just my ordinary thoughts. One day someone emailed me and said, “I never would have thought of that. How did you even come up with that? It’s genius!” Of course I disagreed and explained why it was nothing special. But afterwards, I realized something surprisingly profound: Everybody’s ideas seem obvious to them. I’ll bet even John Coltrane or Richard Feynman felt that everything they were playing or saying was pretty obvious. So maybe what’s obvious to me is amazing to someone else? Hit songwriters often admit that their most successful hit song was one they thought was just stupid, even not worth recording. We’re clearly bad judges of our own creations. We should just put them out there and let the world decide. Are you holding back something that seems too obvious to share? Source: Derek Sivers

Why are you bullish?

Having a productive and focused Friday. Best day of the week so far.

In case I don’t see ya, GA, GE, and GN.

My #Lightning node has been offline for several weeks because I’m going through the moving process with my family. What does this mean for my node? Will the channels close? Does my #bitcoin get returned to me on-chain? Anything to be concerned about? #asknostr

Though we live on the US Dollar, You and me, we’ve got our own Sense of Time.

The new #Primal update is working really well.
