Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

With respect, misogyny is not the main problem here, I think it is just a tactic to move the discussion to different levels, and increase noise and nervous reactions. The main point, the culprit of misinformation, is obviously that they have not yet understood, or rather deliberately concealed, why PoW is mandatory in a digital currency. Can we produce a counter pro-pow campaign to make people aware? Let us exploit their media power, and also their sexist slip, to Bitcoin advantage. /cc @Gigi @jack mallers

Just as Bitcoin-only is a massive assumption and attempt to shut down debate, so is "PoW is mandatory in a digital currency". I wonder if there is any appetite amongst Bitcoiners for rigorous debate on these two counts. I hope so, open source should mean open to challenge. #asknostr

Of course, I am open to any different opening that might improve the possibility of a decentralised, non-governmental, non-inflationary money. At present, this point seems quite solid to me: Do you have any other ideas?

There is no second best. A deep dive into why there is #Bitcoin and then there is everything else. My keynote from @npub167n5...zu3r This keynote was inspired by many but I want to give a special shoutout to @Gigi , Jason Lowery, Andrew Poelstra, and Greg Maxwell. Their writings and work was particularly influential. I’d also like to shoutout the @npub167n5...zu3r team. This was one of the best #Bitcoin conferences I’ve ever been to. Thanks so much for having me!
