Last Notes npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I get it, but we’re just in a low in general right now. Odell might be bummed but he hasn’t given up. I think it’s just time to leave things on slow burn for now. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Yeah, that doesn’t sound like fun, but I still get the sense that Nostr clients are looking for product market fit and that some will eventually find it. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Chin up! I think we’re just in a Nostr bear market right now. Things will turn around. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva 👀 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva My father was committed to small business development and Main Street culture. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva What might be the reason @primal won’t allow me to add a header image for an article I’d like to publish via the client? npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I was buzzing for a few days after interviewing Fai and @nprofile…6kde, co-founders of the Bitcoin Learning Center, for this piece. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Wouldn’t have it any other way. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Surely more than a couple over here where I’m watching the game. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Brutal. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva It’s kind of like when I see a sign for a health food store. It’s like, “I wonder what that other stuff I’m eating is.” npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Really enjoyed this. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Ghana’s goalie, tho npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Brutality npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Wild npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Never mind. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Insane. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Oh my goodness 🇭🇷 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva No, sir, I cannot 😂 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Sounds like you have your mind made up about me, my friend. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Not sure what that has to do with the Mechanic video and I’m not an employee of Bitcoin Magazine. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Thanks. I’ve had someone share that with me. I don’t agree with the framing at all and I find the argument disingenuous. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Thank you, Aaron. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I get the sense that this is the case. The main thing I wanted to learn is what we’d be changing the PoW algorithm to, and I still haven’t gotten that answer either here or on X. I can’t imagine not knowing what such a proposed change would look like beforehand. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Totally. They want it to happen without having to bear the brunt of the blowback. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Seems that way to me, too. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva They’re just going to send you right to prison for transferring all that value without reporting it! npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I read the proposal for it in the post from Luke above. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Yes, agreed. I’m familiar with the dynamics as I’ve written about this. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Fair. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I agree that having just a few major pools is bad, but that can also change over time. And I think we’re in the process of that change with some of the bigger mining operations shifting their focus to AI. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Will go back to read it. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva He’d have more power if BIP 110 activated, though, no? npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I think he has the power whether people like it or not. I’d just like to get a better idea of what’s going through both his mind and the mind of his and/or BIP 110 supporters. It’s a genuine inquiry. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I’ve recently opened my mind to BIP 110 for the sake of trying to hear where supporters for it are coming from, as I believe many of them care about Bitcoin as much as I do. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Bitcoin doesn’t need a new narrative for its price to rebound. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Very good (but not very well-known) melodic punk, for you enjoyooors of the genre out there npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Thank you for watching and for taking the time to share the episode! npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva YIL that Illinois governor J. B. Pritzker, who just signed a bill that mandates a 0.2% tax on companies transacting with or storing crypto, once had five toilets removed from his second mansion as part of a tax fraud scheme. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I met Pedro Fadida, co-founder of Brazil's 🇧🇷 Bitcoin Amantikir (@nprofile…9uq8) at the Bitcoin Medellín Conference earlier this year. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva 😂 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva 👏 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Sometimes I take a break from hanging out with cypherpunks to hang out with regular punks. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva 🤝 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Today marks the lowest RSI level on the daily chart for #BTC since November 24, 2018. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva TIL that Yankho Ngolleka, founder of BitDevs Malawi 🇲🇼, is working on a “nostr super app” that will enable phone calls via npubs 🤯 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva It’s not even that exciting for some reason. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Legendary. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Beautiful. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva The South African government is proposing regulations that would essentially ban Bitcoin in South Africa 🇿🇦 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva That I do.
