No, you missed my point. God's people are not to worship money, PERIOD.
> Yes, I was to personally benefit economically from it, but that’s not the primary reason I support it
I don't believe this for one nanosecond. Everyone around here meditates on money and bitcoin the way an actual monk meditates on God. It's your entire world, you worship it and give it all your energy. Many use words like "salvation" or "enlightenment" or "cleansing" and try to pretend it's not their religion.
You act altruistic, but the greed is obvious. You are a whitewashed tomb whose god is mammon, distracted from the things of the true God.

2023-08-02 23:41:00

Everyone marketing bitcoin claims it to be about freedom, but in reality, it's a fancy investment tool and nothing more. Then they sacrilegiously compare it to the divine while conveniently forgetting that God did not create us to be financiers but to care for the earth.
Paul taught Christians to work with their hands (1 Thess 4 11), because all the bankers, bureaucrats, merchants, rabbis, and other busybodies provided nothing useful to society. This tendency to do actual work saved many Romans as the Roman empire decayed and actually helped to reverse the trend of Christian persecution by Constantine's time.
And what do the people who peddle in bitcoin all day provide? You claim to be freeing people from governments but instead push their minds toward money for the sake of money, and a paltry amount at that: bitcoin's deflation ensures that those who already bought into the system years ago will always hold disproportionate control over those just now starting.
And you continue to "HODL" and encourage others to do the same, never actually producing anything, never actually building a parallel economy, only talking about how "valuable" it is, even to the point of heretically comparing its value with the Almighty God.
You think you have money, but in reality, money has you.

> I prefer to remain factual. I completely disagree. Bitcoin should no longer be associated with fiat at all
You "prefer to remain factual" but can't come to terms with the fact that bitcoin's value derives solely from its price on the stock market, and nobody in the real world, aside from a few novelty cases that you people like to tout nonstop, uses it for anything other than investment.
And another snide "I can't explain it but trust me bro!"
And then you appeal to the "price of bitcoin" once again without realizing that such a phrase makes so sense without bringing dollars into the picture for comparison (i.e., price of bitcoin in WHAT?).
Pathetic.

2023-08-02 19:10:41

- reply

And you once again deflect from the deflation problem, ironically mentioning "reality" while failing to realize that, aside from fun little novelties, bitcoin has precisely ZERO use in the real world before converting it into dollars or whatever other currency that real people use.
Every time someone dies and their key is lost, or they send money to the wrong address, or they permanently lock out their hardware key because they tried the wrong password too many times, that bitcoin is PERMANENTLY DESTROYED, making the rest of it even more scarce. It deflates over time.
Anyone who decides to "adopt bitcoin" is already at a massive disadvantage, as the people who got bitcoin a decade ago have disproportionate control over the economy without actually producing anything in said economy.
Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Bitcoiners just want to be the new banking class who speculate and do nothing of real value while holding sway over everyone else. You call it "freedom" and hold massive amounts of bitcoins while encouraging others to join, who can only get tiny amounts--you effectively have control over them financially and can out-compete them in buying power simply by being in the system first and not by actually producing more.

2023-08-02 18:45:26

- reply

This screams that it was written by ChatGPT, but I'll bite anyway.
1. Oh, so my "money" becomes more valuable over time no matter what? I guess there's no reason to spend it! I'll HODL it just like everyone else, and nobody will ever use it in the real world.
2. Inflation means I have to spend my money or it becomes worthless. Deflation means I better not spend my money, because it becomes more and more valuable, until newcomers/outsiders just don't even bother with it since the rich people who hold the currency (in this case bitcoin) only get richer while the little guy has to fight for increasingly tiny amounts.
3. Bitcoin's value rises and falls based on the almighty dollar. It is a fancy, fun investment toy. It is nothing more than another ticker on the stock exchange. This is a fact that bitcoin nerds ABSOLUTELY CANNOT come to grips with. Nobody who does bitcoin things actually produces anything of value in the real world; they just buy bitcoin and HODL it because "it just keeps getting more valuable," when in reality the value is only based on speculation and rich investors pumping and dumping it. So yes, not a "Ponzi Scheme" in the classical sense, but still a system that only benefits those on the ground floor.
4. Irrelevant to my question. I know it's transparent. Transparency doesn't make the deflation problem any better. (And, while we're on things irrelevant to my question, the transparency is a double-edged sword resulting in a privacy nightmare that lets bad actors track everything you purchase).
And of course you finish off with a subtly condescending, underhanded "you're too dumb, it would take too long to explain" style comment.
Typical.

It would be a sort of "intermediary" relay that aggregates from others and drop retarded "pura vida" messages. And yeah, like the other commentor said, clients would have to just use that one relay and no others, which is a dealbreaker for most. It isn't really in the spirit of Nostr to filter things at the relay level.

2023-04-25 05:06:45

- reply

The only way to form communities is to make relays different from one another.
The only way to make relays different from one another is for them to accept and/or forward some messages to some clients while rejecting and/or not forwarding some messages to other clients.
And the only way for THAT to happen is some kind of user persistence on relays, which kinda sorta exists already with profiles, but it's going to have to be more of a community thing.
Clients will need to have views for single ("primary"?) relays instead of just global and following.
And by that point, you've reinvented fedi to some extent, except the user has his own key instead of his identity belonging to a node.
All that to say that yeah, Nostr by its nature encourages an amorphous blob of pseudo-culture that really isn't interesting at all, kind of like a world where everyone is part of the same, amorphous blob of mixed race (coming soon!)
