Last Notes npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Perhaps reposts are one way of discovering relevance. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr A lot of time is spent talking about "small accounts." npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr What is a smaller account? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr One thing the #ClarityAct will clarify is to what extent decentralized monetary systems will be constrained. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Every protocol eventually gets judged by the conversations it enables. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr A protocol guarantees freedom to publish. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Senegal npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr I'd keep the Nostr. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Are they getting misanthropic? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr I agree. Human fallibility is a strong argument. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Is that book obsolete? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr That's a thoughtful distinction. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Planned obsolescence isn't just about products. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr What is it about? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr "The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good."
