BRICS going back to the gold standard could be an advantage for the West if they join the Bitcoin standard. Probably too much hubris to do so.

I’ve listened to a lot of podcasts with Balaji and I think I can distill his entire thesis to: —- During the Cold War, we lived in a multipolar world where the USA was a force for good because it had a competitor. Before the USSR collapsed, it tried to be more like the USA but could never out-USA the USA. After the fall of the Iron Curtain and for the last 32 years we’ve been living a unipolar world with the USA being the lone superpower. This has led it to become increasingly aggressive and hostile to various nations around the world. Now it looks like we’re moving into a multipolar world again with China as a competitor, the USA is trying to become more like China. But like the USSR couldn’t out-USA the USA, the USA will never be a lie to out-China China. The end.

The UK is going full-blown bananas. - CBDC roll out seeming imminent - The new 'online harms bill' means we will lose the right to encryption - The Archbishop of York has said the Lord's Prayer is problematic because it begins with "Our Father"

Nostr is one of the best communities I’ve been a part of since I joined the interwebz. Reminds me of the old days on community forums and the early days of blogs. Absolutely massively long term bullish on it. It’ll evolve and change no doubt, but you’re safe in the knowledge you can use it without fear or favour. Priceless.

Anyone else find they’ve got more relays on their account than they added? How are these relays added? Security risk?

This old drinking tavern was built in 1661. 115 years after it was constructed, the US got its independence from the crown. image

Coming to the conclusion you should never underestimate Nostr devs. Zapple Pay is genius. And even the name is a big FU to Apple lol

Zuck is one of the most ruthless businessmen of our times. Beneath those lizard-like eyes and that false smile, the dude is a savage.

No ‘next big thing’ will be bigger than Bitcoin assuming it fulfils its potential but is there anything on the horizon worth paying attention to for first mover advantage?

Of course “meta appears to be dramatically amplifying the reach of (the usual) favored journalists from the new york times, the post etc. on its new twitter clone. many have jumped to 30k or 50k followers overnight.”

“I remember back in 2023 people used to zap each other 1,000 sats just for a funny meme. That’s why every year we celebrate meme zap day” 😂 View quoted note →
