Rog. Mega-boomer. Still got it.
Even after trying nostr many times, and looking at training videos, I still have no idea how to use it effectively. Each time I open it I just see a few irrelevant posts or silly graphics. Then I give up for a few months!
I've always used Amethyst. Very light user! Anything I'm missing by not being a primal maxi?
Wow! I always had a bad feeling about Jack Dorsey. I was right again! Listen to Ungovernable Misfits @UGMFPodcast on fountain app from about 1hr 5mins in.
"What did you do during the Great Bitcoin Crash, grandad?" "Well, little one, I bought a large grass-fed aged sirloin steak from my local butcher. Also some Old English sausages. Also two old fashioned breast/wing free range chicken pieces. Also a traditional black pudding full circle. Then went to my local ultra-specialist coffee shop and met friends. Among other things."

Mostly superb. A breath of fresh air when saying what the cowardly Tories should always have said. Two areas of concern: he kept on talking too much over the interviewer's questions, and he kept on persistently misunderstanding the questions about bitcoin, conflating it with crypto. So he sometimes sounded to me like an old boomer, even though I'm much older. View quoted note →
Love Giovanni's work and his commitment to unbiased scientific method. Having said that, in his presentations he dives into so many associated points that I'm sure the average listener will end up bewitched, bothered and bewildered by so much information. Nevertheless, if you're prepared to concentrate, this is brilliant stuff. Audio only on fountain, so you don't get to see the charts he refers to. Kudos to Stephan for keeping it on track with a light touch! https://fountain.fm/episode/Z8GYux8CRquarw7PxBDq View quoted note →
Never rely on irony on social media. I once suggested that the 'halvening' should have been called a 'threequartersvening' to be more catchy and to extend the period of new issuance. Some people took me seriously and got quite angry 😂
Brilliant antidote to the 'Bitcoin fixed this' bs which many of us have fallen prey to. I heard about his work a couple of years ago, but then forgot about it. Very clear challenges to the prevailing groupthink. Many uncomfortable truths. View quoted note →
