Feels like I am finding more new and cool accounts that I had no idea were on Nostr recently. Anyone getting a sense that non Bitcoin communities are expanding up here or is it just a coincidence of my individual experience? 🤔

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this guy with a shirt on before 😂 View quoted note →

If you still think e-commerce and retail payments are where the world has gone off the rails, and this where the *big* problem that #Bitcoin needs to fix, then IMO you don’t understand our monetary system. The misallocation and fraudulent pricing of 100s of Trillions in capital doesn’t happen through consumer payments. Sovereign consumer payments and P2P cash are of course the end goal, but they aren’t even close to the biggest problem we have. In fact it means nothing if you don’t solve the monetary foundation first. Those who understand will probably guess (or already know) what this graphic is...

A trade war means high monetary friction in fiat. When that war is between major economic players, it means major players and globally spanning systems hunting for alternatives and bringing new infrastructure online. As Bitcoiners have discussed for years, this is the breakdown in political cohesion of the fiat empire, and the fight to reestablish dominance. This is the environment #Bitcoin was built for.

If this is true then this is absolutely massive for #Bitcoin becoming true global money. It demonstrates its insane capability over all alternatives to hold and move value with the strongest monetary assurances. Energy, both the most foundational and most fleeting resources in the world, is being settled with Bitcoin because of its monetary security and close relationship to energy production. This is incredible to see in real time. This is what monetization of a new, global money looks like. View quoted note →
