Just went through a big follower list and followed everyone based on their latest note, but only if it was less than a week old. Looking for more follows from people who are actually sort of active up here. Which good ones am I missing? 👇🏻👇🏻

Discussed this on Ai Unchained. KYC is going to get insane before the establishment realizes that KYC is dead. Proving you are human on the internet isn’t going to mean anything in a very short time. Selfies, captchas, credit cards, ID, nothing is going to matter. Ai will fake it all with ease. Unfortunately it’s going to get much worse before it gets better though. They will try the entire cocktail and some even more horrible options before it all falls apart. View quoted note →

So I went to the Farmer’s Market to get some meat last weekend. The guy I get it from and I will talk about Bitcoin and loosely about how crazy everything is whenever I go. But it’s infrequent enough that we only ever lightly touch the topic. Last weekend I wanted to confirm that I wasn’t buying MRNA contaminated meat. I approached it “diplomatically” like I usually do just in case. As soon as I got to mentioning that I heard farmers were being forced to give the MRNA vax to their livestock he interrupted me sharply and said almost exactly - “absolutely fucking not! The government has stepped way over the line and they can stay the hell off of my farm. I’m never doing that shit.” I think I found my rancher 😂

The #Bitcoin price is very likely to change this week.

There seems to be something with Nostr that I've seen through casual observation and then discussions among new people - that having a really small following results in disproportionately low engagement. (ie. half the followers means 1/4th the engagement or something similar) In other words, it seems like the bootstrapping phase of this network for new people is worse than on traditional platforms. But I can't think of an obvious reason why this might be unless it's a consequence of not having cross-talk between relays. Wondering if there might be a way to somehow amplify or ensure wide relay connections for those new to the platform, without amplifying bots and scams at the same time? Maybe this is just sort of an inescapable reality of the tech, but mostly just thinking out loud. 🤔
