Kinda sucks.

pretty cool!??!
Its fucking awesome mate!
*starts smashing chairs into the wall out of excitement*
in relation to Nostr, or the world at large? Or both?
And here i am, replying using Jumble.
The fact that this is not a LARP, but there is genuine client diversity is really big. Its one of the hardest things to make real, where it is very easy to come up with the idea in theory. 🥹
I don’t know who it belongs to, or if it belongs to anyone. Maybe it’s just an ungovernable fowl. 🦃⛓️💥✊

I had bitcoins from that faucet. They're long gone and abandoned though.
You went to it, filled out a captcha to prove you weren't s bot, and you got 5 bitcoins.
I did some research. This article always existed BUT until January it only was active in times of crisis (when declared by the parliament). Now it's just always active yolo.
How you been, man? Long time.

Shouldn’t be an issue on my end!
It's an absolute absurdity that Pelosi isn't in prison for fraud and insider trading. And that our politicians who make a couple $100K a year are all worth tens of millions because they explicitly defraud the public to rob them of investment money through political manipulation.
It's theft. Outright and clear theft. In fact they likely *vote bills into law* BECAUSE they are great trading opportunities. There is a 0% chance that this doesn't happen constantly with such a huge incentive to do so.
Reason #3 is just a cause of #1
Reason #4 is only ever seriously caused by #3 and results in #1
In other words, your number 3 and 4 fall under #1
I just sent myself a payment from an external wallet 🤷♂️

I might have to PR a haiku warning into Wisp to outsmart this bot. 😏

Thanks! Not sure why the zap didn’t work. My wallet has been set up for a while. I migrated to the self-custody setup a couple of weeks ago @npub12vk…pugg
100% irrelevant to what prices do over the long run. Markets exist and work *because* of people trying to take advantage of price imbalances. And the result is always falling prices.
I stress tested a $1.5 million bitcoin portfolio through the worst bear markets in BTC history. Even at 100% bitcoin with an 80% drawdown, the portfolio still supported $112K per year in spending over a 30-year retirement.
The traditional 4% rule was built for stocks and bonds with 55% max drawdowns. Bitcoin routinely drops 75-85%. That scares people away from using it as a primary retirement asset, and I get why — watching your portfolio lose three-quarters of its value while you need to pay rent is a different kind of stress test than anything the Trinity Study modeled.
But the expected returns change the equation entirely. At 25% annualized growth versus 10% for stocks, bitcoin recovers from those drawdowns on a completely different timeline. The key insight from running the numbers: what kills you isn't the drawdown itself, it's being forced to sell bitcoin at the bottom to cover expenses.
A 75/25 bitcoin-to-stocks split gave 76% more spending headroom than needed. Not because stocks outperform — they don't — but because having something to sell first gives bitcoin time to recover. The non-bitcoin allocation is insurance, and like all insurance, it has a cost. You give up enormous upside in the 95% of scenarios where you don't catch terrible timing.
The real safety net isn't a perfect allocation. It's flexibility — part-time income, geographic arbitrage, or simply coasting through the drawdown with zero withdrawals for a year.

Does it work?
If so, I can show it to The Internet Archive team 👀

The lunatics are running the asylum.
OK, so my deck of gals that could kidnap me in a romantic way and show me their world now officially contains castle keepers. Maybe it's because they are usually history students on a part-time job/curriculum, know all the hidden corners of the castle, can be there after opening hours, and have keys both to the dungeon and the costume rental, so you can roleplay a prison break right into Her Majesty's bedroom. So that makes them join librarians in the deck. Would think that trail keepers would also make the cut, but I am wary of the lack of water. 🤔
@npub107j…ncxg what tag would you use for referencing zaps in kind 1111 comments?
#zapversations
That does ring a bell, yes. Thanks!

I've had the same sometimes via phone internet. Server does time out.
Displays just one line about timing out under those progress bar percentage lines. Forgot exact message.
I guess we could make lemonade.

Hyves was the Dutch MySpace, and extremely popular at the time. Eventually people moved to Facebook and the platform shut down. Hyves is the go to nostalgia mention when people lament the current Big Tech situation in the Dutch discourse.
@npub1qe3…zefe at the time build a tool that allowed you to scrape/download all your data from the platform. Sitting on this data, he is now working on nostrifying it, and he is even getting support from one of the biggest organizations pushing for an open internet in the Netherlands.
The potential here is huge, very similar to what we saw with Vine/Divine. Hyves itself, in its later years was bought by one of the larger media companies in the Netherlands, and since it shut down all the data and the IP has been collecting dust.
My hope is that with this Nyves project, we can peak that media company's interest, and purple pill them. Its not just Hyves, this type of organization ultimately stands to benefit from Nostr in all aspects of its operation. A nostrified hyves reboot could become a focal point that has enough traction to once and for all solve the current Platform woes our societies are struggling with.
The Netherlands has always been at the forefront of things, and in this context its a perfect candidate to give Nostr some real traction; we are big enough to provide viable network effect among ourselves (not just for the notes, but all the other stuff as well), and small enough to be like a large village where lines are very short. It does not take that many convinced people to get the ball rolling, because things are so densely networked.
Not a sure shot by any means, plenty of hurdles and pitfalls, but i do see a real path to victory here. Thanks to the hard work of everyone, all the rudimentary building blocks are there and functioning (mostly :P), making it that we don't have to ''sell'' anyone on some abstract idea, but can point to a real existing ecosystem that hold great cards to be a real solution.
Special thanks to Sebas, I will do my best to support him in this effort, i hope you will as well.
Onward,
Nostr.
