I will hop on that gravy train as well.

I am thoroughly addicted to nostr. I've been building a browser extension for Safari for it, and I feel like I'm part of something amazing being built.

Damus is great and my client of choice. However, the TestFlight beta might still be filled up. If it is, I would recommend pairing a web client with an extension like nos2x/alby (chrome/firefox) or nostore (Safari).

This tool lets you broadcast your pub key on twitter using a specified format, and the app will add you to the directory, and you can use it to find others that have also done that.
Also, if you go to https://snort.social/new, you can enter your twitter handle, and it will find everyone from you're twitter follows that you're not already following and let you sign up to follow them all.

What are you getting at, exactly? Are you implying they don't need to fire these people, they just want to? Or are you saying they think they need it, but they really don't?

We're not going to electrify everything.

I don’t think this one example they provided is indicative. Didn’t the BIS just give their okay for banks to hold 2% of reserves in Bitcoin? Also, didn’t FASB just change their accounting rules to make businesses holding crypto easier on the balance sheet?
Presumably demand is going in the opposite direction that this blurb would indicate.

They have managed to concoct a system where people have locked billions in staking while keeping only a tiny fraction of their own Eth staked. Vitalik’s addresses have sold tens of millions while all these users have staked with no way out until the overlords decide to implement it.
These are not the actions of a true believer.

Swan Bitcoin is a service for buying Bitcoin, an asset that they do not control or have any influence over. Not remotely the same thing as pumping and dumping token after token.

Never trust a project with its own token.

The simple answer to this is to pay less attention to driving!

I have to say, I think nostr shows a lot of promise. I think there is something special there.

Sorry, I did not mean to insinuate anything resembling cover for these stablecoins. I do not own any and I never would. In fact, I only own Bitcoin and I don’t keep any on any exchange at all. This is the only way I would ever recommend when interacting with cryptocurrencies.

I think that is a fair critique, but that will be coming at some point, very likely. Either a law requiring 100% liquid reserves, or a law bringing them into the FDIC system.

It’s not really any less of a dollar than any other dollar is. All of our digital dollars are just bank liabilities. Circle and Tether are just banks with dollar liabilities. Their liabilities can be transferred on crypto networks rather than traditional bank wires.
