Last Notes npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr You're right. Not a blockchain. Got carried away to my BTC soul. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Unforgivable. Blockchains are immutable. This will remain a stain on your reputation FOREVER 😂 npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Is it? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr A question. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr It's a novel—but also an exploration of what happens when money stops deciding who deserves it. I'm glad it pleased you. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr 🐝 What's the buzz? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr "esse est percipi" npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Perception is not a bridge npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Looks very much like a "wet finger" method npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Will you repost every time you restart? 🤣 npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Every monetary system is an answer. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr We spend a great deal of time asking whether money is sound. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr https://paragraph.com/@pegged/steenberg-and-ava-discuss-the-capture-of-bitcoin-v1 npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr https://image.nostr.build/9151ea3dceb606266d55fade025798c3e6a3015e493b78e274644aec2ef08de2.jpg npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Infrastructure outlives intentions. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr 🪑 Save my seat npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Yakihonne doesn't seem to load that event npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr 🪑 Save my seat npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr The banality of evil is cumulative. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr People rarely migrate to platforms. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Which would make you more uncomfortable? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr What's the buzz? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr A challenge to #Nostr developers. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr A challenge to Nostr developers. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Nobody joins a note. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr #Bitcoin taught us to think differently about ownership. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr What happens when money begins to govern politics rather than politics governing money? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Interesting. Do you have a dataset or paper behind these observations? I'd be particularly interested in user segmentation based on motivations for joining Nostr rather than only protocol usage. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr There probably isn't a single reason why #Nostr user growth has stalled. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr The greater danger is not intelligent evil. It is systems that continue producing harmful outcomes without requiring anyone to intend them. That's what institutions become when continuity outweighs adaptation. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr A fractal npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Did anyone ever make a rigorous ##nostr user profile study? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr That seems to be a very low number. Does anybody track usage in a rigorous manner? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Every protocol has two specifications. The one described in the white paper, and the one reality gradually reveals. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr The language of power evolves. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Trustlessness is not achieved by eliminating trust once. It is preserved by eliminating reasons to intervene. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Sometimes the greatest threat to a radical idea is not its enemies, but an ordinary afternoon that almost happened. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr If observation is participation in physics, perhaps judgment is participation in governance. There may be no God's-eye view of allocation either. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr However, hope without lucidity becomes naïveté. Lucidity without hope becomes cynicism. Progress needs both. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr The real test is asking AI which character it trusts the least... and realizing it's the same one your beta readers picked. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr The interesting question isn't only how many nodes are observed, but what those nodes are actually capable of changing. Observation and discretion aren't the same thing. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr But they did a better match npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Ideas have a curious life. They become real the moment someone else starts using them. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr We've written a great deal about how Bitcoin creates money. I suspect we're only beginning to write stories about how different monetary systems shape human behavior. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr We have become very good at asking who creates money. We are only beginning to ask who decides where it goes. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Bitcoiners believed they were debating block size. They were really debating the price of continuity. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr A friend made this. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr One of the things social media has taught me is that much of posting isn't vanity. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr It is remarkable how many technological revolutions eventually arrive at a cabin. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr It's encouraging to see fiction finding readers here. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr https://image.nostr.build/c0358f30fb47ce6cb98e603c62538939da1498557f18699290a29801481fc0b6.jpg npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Black swans rarely bother checking the odds first. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr I can't decide whether prediction markets help us understand the future or simply make uncertainty more entertaining. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Every solution contains a description of the problem. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr I don't agree with the mercantilism part. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Africa often seems more willing to experiment with money as a tool rather than treat it as an ideology. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr I've been wondering whether the most interesting thing about #NOSTR is not censorship resistance, the ability to transact financially, or data ownership, but the randomness of the experience itself. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr That's close to what I mean. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr THE LOST-KEY HOLDER npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr THE EARLY ADOPTER npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr KEIR STARMER npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr We had the stoicism vogue, is the quietist emerging? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Amara and Sofia discuss the unintended consequences Pegged's launch may have. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr https://paragraph.com/@pegged/the-wrong-kind-of-people-compared-to-what npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Nostr is making me rethink narration. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr A genuine question. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Take a 1 liter bottle npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr A protocol may be neutral. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr I spent much of today thinking about Nostr. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr I'm brewing "strong" lemonade npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Markets decide who gets the money. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr "You buy Bitcoin at the price you deserve." npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr What if the problem isn't bad judgment? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr That seems to be the basic assumption of the current administration npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr It's amazing, I had 39 followers from day one, and I m still exactly there, two years later. What a desert (to be understood ambiguously) npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Choosing Nostr over X feels a bit like taking a side road. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr I considered starting a porn site in 1994, but didn't proceed because my wife would divorce me, and I had two young kids🤣 npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr https://paragraph.com/@pegged/1xhyxw3yj7dttexocjue npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr https://paragraph.com/@pegged/let-me-help npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr This has ripple effects.
