Can someone tell me what’s going on? This is all the time for me on here.

Controversial take: zaps in their current form are not much better than old school social media tipjars.
Let me tip 1 sat with 1 tap or give me death. I don’t care if it’s custodial.
Hey Nostr, what are some good classical composers to listen to while meticulously poring over bitcoin hardware wallet spec sheets?
I am connected to all the recommended relays in damus and performance is pretty rough. Any tips?
Wow
Wen zaps App Store 🥲
Made a paint.exe graphic to send people for when price starts pumping again

“Information wants to be free.”
Sure, but even if you want to read the 2000 year old text that has been replicated more than any other text… it still has web servers, publishers, apps, etc. that have be paid for by *someone*.
Pretty much no information has been commodified like the Bible and yet you someone still has to pay for it! Lightning paywalls for content align incentives.
Artificially stuff “free” that’s not actually free is a fiat growth hack.
Signaling the true value of something with a micropayment Lightning paywall is a bitcoin growth hack.
If I pay a lightning ⚡️ micropayment paywall on a piece of content, I’m paying for:
- convenience (don’t have to spend time looking for pirated copy)
- honesty (I have a conscience)
- security (non-original sources more likely to want to hack me)
- privacy (non-original sources are usually want my data)
- support (I want this person to make more of this)
- hosting costs (hosting and serving content to me is never free, will get paid somehow by someone)
- bitcoin self-interest (using Lightning supports bitcoin adoption)
And even more. There will be lightning paywalls on everything, and there should be. They are good.
What’s funny is if you did “hook up” unhinged Bing GPT to a Boston Dynamics killer robot and it managed to kill everyone on earth, it wouldn’t be because it actually was unhinged and evil. It would be because we were just stupid enough to make something that couldn’t do anything but destroy us as per the system we made.
The fact that people see AI tools be so convincing and then immediately think “maybe we’re no different” is what’s most alarming.
Willing to buy an inscription for 1 sat
No more no less
How many are responding to BingGPT: “I, a human being, am of similar worth as this bot and I’m therefore creeped out at its behavior and think it should be destroyed.”
The correct way to respond: “Wow that’s a crazy way to probabilistically organize those words! anyways…”
Apparently nostr is the only place online where people aren’t “alarmed” by BingGPT and/or calling for it to be exterminated because it’s creepy
In fact nostr has had a GPT3 bot since day 1 and everyone treats the crazy stuff it says as “wow that’s a crazy way to probabilistically organize those words! Anyways…”
You know the bear market is over cause there’s new guys that found out about bitcoin like last month being invited on 30 podcasts
Social media is overrepresented in importance in our lives. Once everyone has switched from twitter to nostr, people will use nostr less—they will use it exactly as much as it truly provides value to their lives—and they will be happier for it.
