I sell seed storages (Yokis) and also building an Arkade Nostr client (actually writing this from said client)

I think it’s also good to remember that some of the most innovative people in bitcoin used to be Bcashers (ex. Burak, the inventor of Ark).
Maybe the next Burak is currently a BIP-110 supporter🤷🏼
(doubtful but possible😅)

My take on the Core vs Knots drama:
(Not trying to be a fence-sitter, I think BIP-110 is technically retarded and Core has made some questionable moves, which is also somewhat understandable for an “organisation” with no leadership)

I can see your side as well, but I think Messi vs Ronaldo in the WC final in their last WC would have been the biggest game ever…
It’s not like Messi and Ronaldo are unknown to the younger audience, most likely much better known than Yamal or anyone on the Spanish team. IShowSpeed is like 20 and has literally built his entire brand around Ronaldo (or Messi vs Ronaldo).
But I completely agree with your point that Fifa is corrupt, just not the Messi vs Yamal being bigger than Messi Vs Ronaldo (even though there are pics of Messi and Yamal when Yamal was a baby).

I’m not saying FIFA isn’t corrupt, but wouldn’t a Portugal-Argentina final be the most profitable?

This might be counterproductive when orange pilling some, especially older people.

I appreciate that you’re able to engage in a (somewhat) technical debate without ad hominem arguments.
Like I said, I really admire all the work you and others have done for Liquid, bitcoin and nostr. Not trying to push anyone down, just stating my opinion and asking to be corrected if need be. I also understand that you probably have more important things to do than arguing with nobodies.

I think the L2 with better; more bitcoin aligned tradeoffs is Arkade/Ark.
Also, I don’t think it’s a pointless debate that 11 of 15 collude.
How would you react if 15 of the biggest exchanges (Binance, Coinbase, Kraken…) created a multisig with each of them holding one of the keys and started saying they’re non-custodial because other shitcoins casinos hold some of the keys?

I’ve had this argument way too many times…
Federated is a nicer word for custodial, it’s just custodied by multiple members (I think something like 15 in Liquids case). If these 15 members (or the majority of them) decide to move the funds from the onchain account controlling the btc that backs L-btc, there’s nothing L-btc holders can do. They’re completely at the mercy of the federation that custodies their btc.
This is not to say Liquid is bad or has been a waste of time. I have the utmost respect for the people who have and continue to build it!
I just think it’s important to be honest about the tradeoffs (Arkade has them too).
I personally think Arkade would be more interesting for this purpose but I’m more than happy to he proven wrong. Also, I know the protocol is early and will most likely experience a lot of growing pains in the future!

I think you’re on the right track with Nostr as the account and communication layer.
I think Arkade would be better than Liquid for this. I’m vibe coding a Nostr client full time, this is the next feature I’ll try to build. Ark Labs are pretty helpful even though they’re still building Arkade itself. I’ve been told this prediction market idea could be done in a few months (still some limitations in Arkade itself).

Not really, I’m thinking of something more nostr based, meaning the “predictions” could show up as regular posts in any client.
Also, I think the model with Predyx (and Liquid), is custodial. I think Arkade would solve this.

What do you think about a p2p, nostr based prediction market?
Anyone could post; “I think France will win the World Cup”, select their level of certainty (1-99%), choose an oracle and load it with sats.
Then anyone could take the opposite position with the declared odds, or propose alternative odds for “secondary bets”.
I think Arkade+nostr could be used to build this.

Nostr needs to become the better product (I know it’s a protocol but you know what I mean). I would love to live in a world where people choose the morally better network even though it might not be better than the morally corrupt one yet. Unfortunately that’s just not reality.
I think nostr will win because better features can be built on it since it’s open and permissionless.

No worries, I’m assuming it wasn’t stock trading😆
