@Max Did you know that barter was never proven to be a widely used system within human civilisation at all? Caroline Humphrey concluded exactly this. So many books about money and about #Bitcoin offer a history of trade, which is simply based on a fairytale invented by the economist Adam Smith for making an argument. Never intended to describe human history. I was just thinking, that every modern economic text, which should be recognised as truthful or important, should never include this notion of a barter economy. Since there is no evidence for any human society, which was barter based.

I am curious and with my lowest expectations on what proposal will come out of this talk. View quoted note →

#asknostr Is there already a Nostr client, which can be used for coorperate use? Maby this would be #flotilla. I only installed the app on #android. But did not actually test it a lot. It is mostly a theoretically question. Could I use flotilla on my personal relay to run a political party or cluster of common ideas? Since I thougth nostr is kind of perfect to have reliable signing of Documents and notes, so they can always be shared and still everyone can verify who owns them or changed them.

Maby those bank closure all come unexpected to many people. Maby many do say this was unforseeable. And the small minority, which is independent from banks, when it comes to store their wealth, will eventually come up on top. It is only a question of time. But longterm, owners of free independent money will be able to use them. Those putting their belief in central authority will be taught the same lesson over and over again. Probably a small minority will keep on using freedom money. But over time crisis compound and advantages of freedom money grow over the time of holding it. View quoted note →

I will definitely be around and test the app until I am happy to talk about it with less technical people. Until then, I keep spreading the word of Nostr. Protocols will be the future. No matter how many or how little people are willing to understand this today. It is as inevitable as rule based order is in international trade. Those who opt in will get an additional chance to be relevant. Those who do not will eventually see that it is worth it. Thanks a lot for your efforts for all the people working on #Nostr, #Whitenoise, #Bitcoin, #Tor, #Linux and the other protocols, that offer inclusivity to all that want it. View quoted note →
