I am wondering how a person with a graduate degree in math and substantial programming experience can contribute to bitcoin.
Are there jobs for someone with this background that are not typical backend/frontend dev jobs?

Good point, competition in the etf space is good. There are 6 currently being under review. Once they are approved I imagine there would be more to come especially outside the US

Yes, price plays a role. As I see it, for this to work they also have to convince miners to mine their new tokens at the same time. Mining seems decentralized enough to make this hard to do.

It doesn’t…FUD. This is where the small cost of running a full node comes into play

It isn’t but it debunks your claim that “LN volume outside zaps is fairly negligible”
On LN centralization I am on the fence and I haven’t seen any evidence to support it. Your evidence is based on nostr only when there are is a substantial user base outside nostr

Not to mention thw number of centralised exchanges that support ligjdning withdrawals now

Zaps on posts were introduced in feb 2023 in nip-57.
You are assuming all of lightning is just zaps which is complete BS.
You have shown no substantial evidence to support your argument that 99% of lightning users do/will use custodial wallets. Pointing statistics from a sample that is not even close to being representative of the population is just being willfully ignorant to prove your point.

Nostr is just 6 months old and to assume that zaps make up most of lightning transactions is ridiculous.

How did you come up with the 99% number?
WoS has 500k+ downloads on playstore
Phoenix wallet has 50k+ on playstore
Muun wallet has 100k+ on playstore

Your analogies are wild. Running an email server and downloading an app on your phone that runs your lightning node are not even comparable in terms of convenience.

Doesn’t make any sense. You mean to say 50 percent of people don’t have “thoughts”? How can one have thoughts without an internal dialogue?

If I send sats from binance to a lightning wallet and then from the lightning wallet to an on-chain wallet do they become KYC-free?

I wish El Salvador introduces something like a bitcoin visa for people from countries with weak passports to enter more easily

Dumb question- why doesn’t El salvador hold bitcoin like an etf and just issue bonds. How are these bonds different from the spot ETFs?

Respectfully, the advantage of an open peer to peer protocol is that no one can impose their preconceived notions on it. Some people might disagree with certain posts and other people won’t. The mute/block button exists for the kind of content you don’t want to see.

Curious if you are male/female/none. Everytime I have said something even mildly similar to this in the presence of a woman I have managed to trigger them🤣

Depends on what a guy is looking for on a dating app. For the casual ones, yes they try to minimize the effort/nut ratio. For people looking for serious relationships they might actually read your profile and swipe right even if you are average looking but have a profile that brings out your unique personality. But idk, it’s all a mess.
If someone is on nostr it’s a good signal for a level-headed/rational person 🤷‍♂️
I wonder if someone is building a dating app on nostr

Damn. This just shows that 90 percent of men will not be in that funnel and for them these apps are pretty much usesless

2023-07-08 18:55:36

So the average male height is around 5’10 and the average female preference(on a dating app) is above 6’5 🤔
