If anyone is interested: I'm still here, nostriches!
I have popped in and read notes, reacted and boosted a few, and zapped maybe a couple. It's even more apparent how the lack of algorithm rewards timely, consistent participation with the network. I am thankful that I am not being manipulated, but I do like being able to participate with posts that happened when I was not online, without having to manually go back in time. I have found it helpful to specifically look at my follows' page and go through history there to catch up on their content.
Focusing on some things in the tangible world as of late.
• preparing for my entry for a karaoke competition
• looking to improve my fiat mining situation
• reducing overall social media consumption
I am looking forward to Bitcoin23 and all the signal that will flow though nostr.

I still don't know if you're real or a bot. I lean towards the metallic kind. Once I figure out how to see your five people I will know. Good luck.

GM how is it that you all are getting back from #Nostrica and I'm the one that gets sick!
Feeling a little better slowly but between that and the little I could muster for greenpeace's bullshit on the dirty bird app I have been quiet here.
Also I'm apparently now a bot? So much to catch up on Beep Boop. PV 🤙💜🫂

If you weren't sub-emoji-noted in this note and you thought you should be, it's not because I didn't think of you but because I couldn't think of one for you. Or because you weren't hah. But if you want to get to know me more please do!

2023-03-21 09:05:28 UTC

GM #[0] I sub-emoji-noted you (among others) in a note I made because I didn't want to make a hellthread, but I was thinking of you friend!

2023-03-21 08:14:20 UTC

#[0] spoke today of "the early days" and how little information was out there, and that the answers were either in the protocol, or happening live in the notes that would (((slowly))) trickle through the relays. Now his NIP05aaS has grown into a complete onboarding experience. His talk threw me into a rabbit hole of nostalgia even though it was merely 3 or so months ago.
One of my first (non-nostr centric) conversations was with #[1] um Turn Up, who upon traveling during the holidays had forgotten his miners miles away, and was stuck in the cold with no heat. This weekend he is bathing in the sun, with his sandals in the sand in Costa Rica. Can't wait to see your Between (one?) ASIC episode with #[2] (🫂 thank you for everything you have done and the work that continues)
I remember #[3]'s first days learning about bitcoin through lightning, having just arrived on nostr and understanding its value to the world. Now she arms herself with the knowledge of the tools of freedom and is quite the royal nostrich (is that a thing?) in her own right.
In December I (and many others) made the cardinal sin of exposing our old private keys in web clients. We armed ourselves with extentions and joined the chorus of people from around the globe transmitted notes in their native tongue. The global feed soon became inundated with many others (literally) exposed privates, just as mobile clients began to take their shape.
Now, paid relays and robust clients have brought some solace from the global feed, and using modern clients I can read automatically-translated notes from people around the world. Nostr makes our world small in a big way.
Not wanting to start any kind of hell thread, I won't name any more names but there are so many memories and stories of people I am glad to be building relationships with and hope to get to know more. 🍑🐶🐙💅🐱🐷🧦🚿☕️
Special shout out to my #NostrAfterDark nostriches.
Pura Vida everyone 🤙💜🫂

It is often said that bitcoin is "deflationary" as opposed to having inflation, but isn't it more accurate to say that it is "disinflationary"?
Deflationary means that it experiences deflation: the total amount of supply is reducing.
Instead bitcoin has an ever reducing inflation rate up until the point the last satoshi is mined, at which point it has no inherent inflation or deflation: its issuance rate is zero.
One could argue, without a new supply, loss of access to addresses (loss of coins) would result in a loss of total supply, but that is external to bitcoin itself.
It is important to make these distinctions, because I have heard it argued that bitcoin being deflationary is dangerous and eventualizes to centrality of ownership, which I would lean to agree if that were the case, but it is not.
Am I wrong about this?

No one will like that anon, and they will have to make a new one if they ever want to be liked. Maybe it will change in time.
Also I think many are here for a shared purpose. We are also not being activated by an algorithm feeding us all of the negativity, so we actually enter discussions from a non activated place.
And a lot of people are learning a fairly technical new way to discourse. There is humility in that.

Thinking on this, it's really interesting how the symbology of bitcoin > lightning > zap evolved, and how an electrical zap sound is an analogue to how money is transfered in bitcoin.
And it all relates back to energy.

I may have to copy that. Register, or maybe coin drop sound. Not sure if there is another money-making sound. A 'bzzzzht'zappy sound would be appropriate but doesn't sound like money, yet.

Yeah, I heard it was bad on bluebird app that influences would take your good meme or post or other stuff and get all the internet points for it. I just barely got there before the migration.
I came from reddit where I at least tried to have positive vibes, but some accounts would inevitably just become circlejerk point farmers. The times I did put a lot of work into something, it wouldn't get recognition except by the person I was helping/educating (old reddit can be hard like that without any kind of following system) or the comments below would be some kind of negativity as I was doing the work to try to prove someone wrong about something.

So far we have seen the quarter-epochs (and sometimes third-epochs for miners) have their own characteristics that is a part of the cycle. For cashflow and sustainability, businesses (especially miners) have to strategies and forecast based on these characteristics.
