White mistakes the final stage of monetization for its definition. A good gains monetary status as its salability expands; unit of account follows wider adoption. By his logic, no emerging money can become money until everyone already treats it as money. You have to visit Africa and the Middleast to see that from the trenches.
Because it's America.. And now they set a precedent..
Yeah, those definitely don’t have reception 😂
Also, amazing movie.
I want to fork bitchat to make it themed for metro/subway users.
I think the underworld community will appreciate something like this.
Yeah, no fight at all.
But also they are playing Argentina. Thats no walk in the park.
Congrats Spain. Well deserved really.
Congratulations Spain! You deserved it.
🥇
Zionists lost today...this is a good world cup...
Cut from the same cloth..
meh, it wasn't nearly as bad as that Paris 2024 spectacle
America, you ruined the World Cup final... I hope it's the first and last time backwardness is present in a world cup final..
That should have been a freekick for Spain
Spain seems to be playing like they understand that at least.
Wishing the best of luck to the Islamic Republic of Spain in the World Cup Final

"Who is sovereign when it comes to negotiating the question of technology? Who is in charge? Who calls the shots? Who makes the decisions? Muslim responses should not recycle or regurgitate broken and tired cliches from has-been perennialists or reactionary Dawah Inc types about "the excesses of technology/modernity" as they have no understanding of the contours and constructs of a world that is in a state of constant hyperwar over extrastatecraft boundaries."

bro, use nip23 for this gold. not kind1
okay now i've gotta check kimi put again
The fiat obsession with speed and scale has infected even #Bitcoin devs. That’s why we’re drowning in useless, dangerous BIPs that just make network spam cheap and easy. Bitcoin is slow. Bitcoin is boring. Don’t like it? Fuck you.
also it is important to note that the "reign of quantity" is not some new phenomenon. remember Guénon lived before the digital age. he actually points to 2 specific dates for when the "reign of quantity" began and those dates where long ago.
the digital power argument comes largely through Guénon's student Julius Evola. but it is only one of a few important areas that deserve focus. and all have to flow from the core traditionalist metaphysic or else they risk diverting into some pseudo form. it's very easy to mess up which is why Guénon avoided getting too explicit on some of those topics.
Ok, I can understand all of that. Could be possible too.
I've just had the experience that every new network was once in the same state as Nostr is now. And when they did grow, which by the way isn't always the case, I've also seen how the atmosphere changed accordingly. Twitter was also like Nostr is now when it started back in 2007.
But what I'm actually getting at is something else: you don't achieve sovereignty by making things simpler or by catering to the lowest common denominator. That's basically a law of nature, it's always been that way. For millennia. You can gain freedom, but it comes with a price. You've got to get your hands dirty, put a lot of energy and patience into the simplest things. I once wrote something about that.

So I fundamentally don't believe that we can serve the usual convenience without giving up a piece of freedom in the process. Up to a certain point with your own tools, that works. But as soon as third parties come into play, everything changes. To me, these principles are in direct contradiction to each other.

Wir hätten auch wieder mehr 1-zu-1 gegen den Verteidiger und es würden mehr Tore fallen. Stell dir mal vor die Mannschaften müssten wieder mehr Tore schießen um zu gewinnen. Seltener so ein dämliches 0:0.

Anthropic already said something like that. That they are concerned about the new Chinese models. 😄
Dafür müsste man das Abseits wieder abschaffen. Da wäre ich gar nicht mal so dagegen. Wieder zurück zum klassischen Libero. Und schon hat man mehr Platz auf dem Feld davor.
Sure. But there's also a stat for how many fouls a team commits per card they get. Argentina is at the bottom of the list with one card every 22 fouls. The top team was at every 7 fouls a card. Sus.
So René Guénon is worth reading because he explains, indirectly of course, why Bitcoin and Nostr only make full sense inside a larger revolt against modernity. The "reign of quantity" is a world where whatever cannot be measured, priced, optimized, converted into data is treated as unreal, and fiat money and algorithmic social media are basically perfect expressions of that worldview. Indeed, Bitcoin restores limits to money, while Nostr removes some of the centralized choke points over digital communication and identity/memory. But neither automatically restores actual tradition, and anyone treating protocols as a complete worldview has simply built another modern idol.
But, what we need to do, I think, is attempt to extend Guénon into the realm of "digital power," (need a better phrase here) as surveillance platforms, AI, Riba powered finance, behavioral algorithms, etc., now shape what people see and desire.
The way I see it, the real task is to place Bitcoin and Nostr beneath an Islamic telos, using them to support some sort of inner reform, independent sovereign communities, and resilient institutions capable of resisting both riba and digital capture. InshaAllah, together they can help create space for a more vicegerent and spiritually serious Muslim life.

Me too. Only a******s root for Argentine

If you work in education or have kids in the system then I would strongly encourage you to plan for what is coming in the next few years.

PoW gives Bitcoin costly security and energy producers a global buyer. It does not, by itself, make Bitcoin money.
The price can rise, hash rate can follow, and miners can finance better energy infrastructure while commerce adoption remains stagnant. That would prove demand for the asset and its security, not widespread monetary use.
Energy secures Bitcoin. Exchange gives it monetary life.
Well, they say that the nsec is encrypted before it's saved so Google doesn't know it (and it's mostly correct), but you're right, it's a step into dangerous territory. Because here you're already linking a possibly anonymous npub to a KYC'ed account. And you let Google know, that you are a Nostr user and when you're using it.
“Store of value forever” is monetary free-riding.
Bitcoin’s premium exists because markets expect it to become increasingly useful for saving, settlement and commerce. Remove that path, and you are merely asking the next buyer to pay more for inert bytes.
Scaling is what keeps the monetary thesis honest.
