Last Notes npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Can look into it. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion January 3rd and 9th are both important dates! npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion LOL 😂 npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Almost a God Candle today. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Or at least introduce them to the ethos of Bitcoin in hopes of them becoming Bitcoiners. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Thanks for the gift! npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion A wise rabbit gave me this. 😁 npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Adam answered this on Twitter. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Yes. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion 😁🐬 npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion We can work on that. It’s always hard to empty a LN wallet without channel close. I had the same problem with others before and just had to leave a few sats in there. With AQUA though, it is a Liquid balance, so you can always swap that out to BTC or just withdraw the L-BTC itself. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion AQUA’s target market is LATAM, which uses USDt mainly. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Thanks for the gift all the way from Brazil! @npub1vwc…04ch #BitcoinTokyo2024 https://image.nostr.build/90b3ccd9bd699dc77eb4f4d5c89d5b3ade11cfa7b33d079779e52fda2957b38f.jpg npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Working on reproducible builds. We need it for F-Droid anyhow. Small team and limited resources. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Disagree. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion It worries me that the answer to this is always “don’t worry.” npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion *censor npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion It doesn’t even have to. Relays can self sensor if there’s a threat. Just look at Phoenix pulling out of the US. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Either Nostr evolves to have every client being a relay, or it will fail. The risk is the same as that of LSPs. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion I started out with 9 relays when I created my profile here. 4 are dead now and Nostr is a lot bigger. I don’t think it’s fair to say that there will be more relays as it grows and not have a clear incentive you can point to for why people will suddenly run more. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Either Nostr evolves to have every client being a relay, or it will fail. The risk is the same as that of LSPs. Damus itself should definitely not be running a relay. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion I wasn’t comparing it 1:1 in terms of encryption. I was just highlighting each has its own critical flaw. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion There are no incentives to run a relay other than wanting to be helpful. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion You’d store it yourself if every client is also a relay. You could mirror content for others too. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Anyone can does not mean anyone does. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Need to make every client a relay first. Relays are a risk to the protocol. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Relays make Nostr centralized. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion It can only be P2P. Any weak points will be attacked. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Looks ok to me in Damus. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion It did not. So they have data and control the state wants, but did not share. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion No need to apologize. It sparked an interesting discussion. I just see it happening sooner due to an array of macroeconomic factors. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Use the core peer-to-peer components from Keet / Holepunch. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Do it! npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Yes. This. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion That’s another problem that should be discussed at length too. There is no economic incentive to run a relay, but a lot of risk. My main point is about relays getting shutdown. It needs to all be peer-to-peer. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion It totally should be. But I think Nostr devs don’t see the issue. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion But yeah keep having more conferences and ignore this problem. 🤓 npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion #FreePavel npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Hardly. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Any price under $0.1M is still #Bitcoin on sale. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion What exactly is a ridiculous dollar price? npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion #Bitcoin is a risk-off asset for: npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Most of them are insolvent. There is no metric for success. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Never underestimate the ability of the plebs to absorb available #Bitcoin supply on the market. A few million small stacks can have a huge impact. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion For institutional investors like sovereign wealth funds or pension funds, buying #Bitcoin at either $0.06M or $0.6M doesn’t make a difference. At their scale it’s a rounding error. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion GM! npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Central banks and massive pension funds are seeking #Bitcoin exposure. Public companies are ramping up their BTC intake. Public mining companies are now buying too. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Being able to opt-out with #Bitcoin is so under appreciated. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion The current #Bitcoin price might have you feeling sad, but just be thankful that #Bitcoin exists. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion 2.1 quadrillion sats is just about the right number to store all human value forever. The fiat clown world has essentially pushed us to that number in dollar terms: $900T in global assets plus $1.2 quadrillion in derivatives. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion I worry about what happens when everyone figures it out. It’s not going to be gradually. It’s going to be suddenly. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion I need to make an effort to post on nostr more. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Goodbye Joe Biden 🦆 npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion And yet number goes up. #Bitcoin npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion The average laser-eyed #Bitcoin pleb has a better understanding of monetary policy and economics than most bankers and government officials. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Keep calm and HODL #Bitcoin. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion We were here to witness the 4th #Bitcoin halving. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion When the meter gets to the end is that death? npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion The only thing preventing #Bitcoin from becoming corrupted fiat money is the ability for plebs to run their own nodes. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Heard the same. Crush may be a bit overdramatic though. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion #Bitcoin is a threat to totalitarianism and communism, so be wary of politicians that say Bitcoin is a threat to “democracy.” npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion #Bitcoin is for future generations - generations that had once been enslaved with fiat debts not of their own, and before they were even born. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Services in the marketplace might have KYC or tracking. We cannot control that part of the user experience. AQUA’s core is non-custodial and there is zero tracking whatsoever. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Your digital battery is useless if no one can get them to use. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Set it up! npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion We should call inflation what it really is: fiat failure. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Money is the Operating System of the world. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion #Bitcoin as a Medium of Exchange cannot be ignored. Without the ability to transact Bitcoin permissionlessly, it will end up captured and neutered like gold is. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion For poker chips :) npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Much like diplomacy is a lost art, seeking the win-win is also something largely forgotten by the world. Fiat only incentivizes win-lose, plunder, and oppression. #Bitcoin is the win-win equilibrium for the world and Bitcoiners want to help others because “if you win, I win.” Another node on the network as my peer means Bitcoin is more resilient, and we all win more. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion You’d be a good Samson Mow! #note19va…rzzm npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Bitcoin wallets have this problem too that they don’t build for consumers. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion There is absolutely nothing that any government or central bank can do about inflation at this point. We’ve passed the point of return for the legacy system. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Borrowing without consent is stealing. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Diminishing returns are for nocoiners. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion The most important thing with the #Bitcoin ETFs that most people seem to miss is the rate of accumulation. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion No amount of selling is going to be able to keep up with #Bitcoin demand from plebs, corps, nation-states, and ETFs. That is the reality people must accept. Some are bearish now and seeking out bearish things irrationally. Be rational. Leave the emotions out and do the math npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion There are no diminishing returns when a step change takes place. Bitcoin is not a marginally better $ or gold. #Bitcoin is a 1000x improvement on any monetary technology devised in all human history. Diminishing returns is an irrelevant concept when the entire game has changed. https://image.nostr.build/d6e20bc2b30efc86b85f991a3409435ff1c03746a5384c00d8d9dd1e2151639d.jpg npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion There’s a certain irony in Brian Armstrong trying so hard to change Bitcoin, promoting every fork, pushing Ethereum as a better Bitcoin, and listing so many shitcoins, but now his only job is providing custody to ETFs of the original #Bitcoin, the one which he saw as deficient. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Happy 2024 to all the #Bitcoiners! 🎉 npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Recursive Demand Shock™ npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion MSM: “#Bitcoin Experienced a 2-Omega Event Today” npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion A God Candle is $10k green on the daily. We’ve had this term a while. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion While they begin Quantitative Easing again, we will perform another scheduled Quantitative Hardening. #Bitcoin npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion While they ACCELERATE, we will OSSIFY. #Bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/a55db8d93c92e3a0a0abdc1ce3c552506f5675d2a945c549df90531b2e63c893.jpg npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion I’ve come here to eat steak and send #Bitcoin to $1M, and I'm all outta steak. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Government: “Inflation is at a manageable 4%.” npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion The ETF approvals aren’t priced in npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion baea253c31b1d668c4f1ef56b972f395fe7007060b6f87abc654bee9d9159951 npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion LFG #Bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/5d4e1d5957574aa47d362238599c4ba3ae280af7bcea3f26fa81c630cfa26b4b.jpg npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion *Influential used loosely and may include third rate comedians. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion It’s amusing to see influential* accounts randomly dunk on #Bitcoin out of nowhere. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Elizabeth Warren is 74. The dinosaurs are slowly but surely dying off. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion 😢 https://image.nostr.build/90a8d82d6788c9fcb40292ac3ae30bb75778df05e5ffcbad7895de3c517aece5.png npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion It may blow past $1M and then drop to $500k. Media reports Bitcoin is ded. 😜 npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Balaji wasn't wrong about #Bitcoin going to $1M, but he was wrong on the timing and the catalyst. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion This time really is different. #Bitcoin npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Demand Shock x Supply Shock = Price Shock npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion We're about to see what happens when demand shock meets supply shock. #Bitcoin npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion The run up this time is different from last time.
