Universal support of lists in nostr clients would be amazing. Primal kinda does it with feeds. listr.lol is the only app I’m aware of supporting user curated lists. View quoted note →

What if the root cause of the meaning crisis is not related to spirituality but is entirely linked to inflation? When the effort we invest in our work consistently fails to keep pace with the escalating costs of living, it inevitably leads to a pervasive sense of quiet despair. Printing 3 trillion dollars harms everyone; the insidious outcome is that people mistakenly believe the problem lies within themselves and become withdrawn. What if the solution was not as complicated as those in power need for you to believe?

Congrats to @jb55 and the whole @Damus team on all the amazing progress and to the launch of Purple!

> “But if a socially active network of cryptographic keypairs happens to exist, all of a sudden utility massively increases and the effort of building a network of trusted developers goes down” Automation of trust, this is the type of thing nostr can unlock. Love the ideas in this post. Worth reading. View quoted note →

If someone like Joe Rogan joined nostr it would be seen as a monumental win, however the behavior of users would immediately start to shift from creating to consuming. While you are not obligated to follow celebrities, their presence and content has a ripple effect, causing the whole platform to become performative. The result is most users just take a back seat and become passive consumers. Twitter would not have survived without the arrival of the celebrities, yet we saw how that turned out in the long run.

Poll: Which is more important in the creation of a perfect money, privacy or transparency? You can only pick one.

Anybody else buy vinyl but don’t own a record player? Not ashamed, yet still don’t totally understand why I do it.

“But the world is not short of cleverness and not much is right. Now I know this is a god my words refuse to serve. No more cleverness. No more opinions. Opinions are easy to come by. Stillness is the really hard work. Not knowing is the hardest work of all. Even writing those two words fills me with anxiety. Not knowing. Not knowing. Not knowing anything at all. But that’s where we all find ourselves, most of the time. We just won’t admit it.” Savage Gods Paul Kingsnorth #bookstr

Was anyone a keybase user? Still using any of the open source stuff? The original keybase concept was super interesting to me but the pivot to messaging and file storage seemed to indicate it was way too niche as a standalone product.

Nostr is still a tiny corner of the internet, but damn if it’s not one of the most interesting. Grateful to be a part of this community. Here’s to more greatness in 2024 and beyond.
