Agreed.
And maybe, as the network grows and the user base becomes more diverse, there will likely be a natural segmentation of users. Some will prefer the security of on-chain transactions at a higher cost, while others will leverage Layer 2 solutions for their efficiency and lower fees. This segmentation will help in balancing the load on the network and maintaining a dynamic yet stable fee market.

Embracing Toxic Education:
My journey to #Nostr
Before I delve into my journey, let me start by admitting that I was once a shitcoiner. It wasn't until I was converted into a Bitcoin maxi rationalist using toxicity when necessary that I found a new path.
To give you some background, I am a human who has endured the turbulent state of Lebanon. This experience has profoundly disgusted me from the fiat mentality. My search for an alternative way of thinking led me to Bitcoin, the only sound money, thanks to the influence of toxic maxis.
Now, let me clarify what I mean by "toxic maxis." These are individuals who passionately advocate for Bitcoin as the only sound money with an aggressive, sometimes off-putting, demeanor. They may come across as abrasive or confrontational, but they often possess a wealth of knowledge and experience. While some people don't need toxicity to learn, many do, just like I needed it to stop being a shitcoiner and understand why Bitcoin only.
You might be wondering why I am writing this and what happened today. I wrote a post about suggesting a UX proposal to increase protection for content creators, without taking into account what Nostr was all about. Just check that post and the comments to understand the story. Yet, this post is about the benefits of toxicity in education.
Toxic maxis, with their deep understanding of Bitcoin, have a unique way of teaching. By not allowing their abrasiveness to deter me, I've been able to learn a great deal from them. In fact, their seemingly harsh demeanor actually pushed me to challenge my own assumptions and think more critically about the topics at hand.
I encourage everyone to remain open to different forms of education and perspectives, even if they seem unconventional or challenging at first. By doing so, you might find that you gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the subject matter. It's crucial to stress that you should not take any feedback personally. Put your emotions aside and digest the constructive commentary from it. Remember, the key is to embrace toxic education without taking it personally.

Was this #Nostr app improvement suggested before?
A potential improvement to the #Nostr apps that could significantly enhance the protection of intellectual property for content creators, despite the apps’ decentralized nature.
Currently, the copy text functionality is available to all users, allowing anyone to easily copy and potentially plagiarize content with just a couple of clicks. This accessibility may inadvertently encourage unauthorized use and distribution of copyrighted material.
The proposal is that the copy text functionality be limited exclusively to the original post author, thereby reinforcing the protection of their intellectual property.
By implementing this change, we can achieve the following benefits:
• Discourage plagiarism: Limiting the copy text function to the original author can deter unauthorized reproduction of their content.
• Encourage original content: When users are unable to easily copy and paste content, they may be more inclined to create their own original work.
• Boost content creator confidence: Providing additional security measures can assure content creators that their work is better protected, encouraging them to share more of their ideas and creations on the platform.
• Preserve the platform's reputation: Implementing safeguards against plagiarism can help maintain the credibility and integrity of the Nostr apps, fostering a community that values original content and respects intellectual property rights.
This UX oriented update would not only benefit content creators but also enhance the overall user experience for everyone on the platform. As a result, the Nostr apps would become a more secure and trustworthy environment for sharing and discovering new ideas.
I am confident that this will contribute to Nostr’s continued success and growth.
Regardless, #cypherpunks and history will forever be grateful for your Nostr contributions gents.

School Carnivals: A Lesson in Austrian Economics for kids, their teachers and school staffs.
Have you ever wondered how central banks and fiat systems operate? Interestingly enough, a recent visit to a school carnival provided an insightful glimpse into these complex worlds. By observing the inner workings of this small-scale event, we can draw parallels with Austrian economics and better understand the advantages of #Bitcoin.
At the carnival, coupons were used as the medium of exchange for food and games. When we ran out of coupons, I found myself in a fascinating conversation with the central bank governor (the executive secretary) about the potential vulnerabilities in the event's “monetary system”. The conversation touched upon the risks of counterfeiting, the absence of a proper auditing system, and the potential consequences of unchecked coupon printing.
She appeared astonished and seemed deeply grateful for the input, showing genuine concern about the implications.
This seemingly innocent school carnival serves as a microcosm of fiat economics, where central authorities control the creation, distribution, and valuation of currency.
Key takeaways from this experience include:
• The school board, acting as central planners, determines the best course of action for the carnival.
• The school secretary, akin to a central bank, is responsible for designing and printing the coupons that serve as the event's currency.
• Some individuals benefit from purchasing the coupons during a pre-sale at a discounted rate, similar to those with privileged access to newly printed fiat money.
• The lack of robust security measures, such as unique identifiers, creates an environment ripe for counterfeiting.
• Many attendees abide by the rules, unaware of the broader implications of this monetary system.
• Although prices remained reasonable yesterday, continuous printing of more coupons could eventually lead to higher prices due to inflationary pressures.
• The absence of a free market to determine the value of the coupons could result in price distortions and misallocations of resources.
• The central authority's control over coupon distribution and acceptance may create an environment where favoritism and cronyism can thrive.
• The lack of a transparent and open system for tracking coupon transactions increases the difficulty of identifying fraud and mismanagement.
• The central planning nature of the school carnival's monetary system contrasts with the decentralized, permissionless, and trustless nature of Bitcoin, with its built-in mechanisms to prevent counterfeiting, inflation, and manipulation.
