“Silicon Valley selects for highly (over)confident founders – people who are willing to gamble big on contrarian ideas that have a low intrinsic probability of success.” That may be good for innovation – and for venture capitalists, when a bet they’ve made pays off. But it might not always be good for the rest of us. “[SBF’s] luck was almost inevitably going to run out at some point,” he concludes. “But we all got lucky that it ran out as soon as it did.”

“Now that the vast majority of publicly-listed bitcoin treasuries are within the United States, and the market capitalization of USD stablecoins has grown to over $120 billion, the tasks remaining for the bitcoin-dollar architects are few; creating infrastructure for highly-regulated stablecoins backed by USTs, finding a high volume online market to generate non-domestic users and monetary velocity for said dollar instruments, writing legislation in congress that enforces capital requirements and neuters algorithmic alternatives, and finally manufacturing consent within government to pass said laws with strategic lobbying efforts led by those closest to the digital dollar spigot.”

I think there’s a fear of deflation as we are so used to living with currencies which are, as a matter of government policy, supposed to lose value at a steady rate (2% inflation target).
One interesting view is that if Bitcoin succeeds it will give people more time to discern what to spend their money on.
Are you aware of @npub1s05…eyhe ‘s work? It gives good reasons to welcome technology’s ability to make lives better and not to fear deflation.

The initial payment goes to the client but yes, you may end up facilitating more sats going to your ‘opponent’ by engaging. On the other hand, if your comments/gaming the system are ‘better’ you’ll end up with more sats.

Even though 1 sat is worth next to nothing this charge to post changes the way you note for the better, imo.

How Do I Earn Sats on Stacker News?
Stackers reward each other for their contributions by zapping them with sats.
To start earning sats, you can share interesting links, discussion prompts, or comments with the community.
Beyond the direct payments from other stackers, Stacker News also uses the revenue it generates from its job board, boost fees, post fees, and stacker donations to reward stackers that contributed to the site with even more sats.
Every day, Stacker News rewards either creators or zappers with a daily reward. These rewards go to stackers who either created or zapped one or more of the top 33% of posts and comments from the previous day. The rewards scale with the ranking of the content as determined by other stackers.

The development of new ideas and more knowledge is the biggest growth accelator, for society and individuals alike.
>> I’m not convinced this is correct. I think the incentives of the systems within which we operate are possibly more important than knowledge in terms of growth accelerants.
Therefore, please tell me, if your objective was economic growth, should you rather spend time with and talk to someone who was totally different from you, or with someone who was almost identical to you?
>> It depends. If the other person is ‘too different’ I may not be able to comprehend his outlook. The energy lost to the cognitive dissonance (when encountering someone wildly different) may detract from understanding the alternative views/methodologies on offer.

Some thoughts:
1. Price is set at the margin.
2. If your thesis holds true, the value will stabilise at around $1T because of 1. above.
3. Point 2 will erode the ‘speculative investment thesis’ and attract capital from ‘conservative’ investors.
4. If so, scenario 2. will erode and the price will go up because of 1 (net buying > net selling)

If a client doesn’t automatically connect a new user to ‘popular’ relays perhaps the user should at least receive a hint/suggestion to connect to relays to improve the nostr experience.

For a browser based client it's pretty good. Upon set up I was only connected to the ditto relay. So, to test it properly a new user should connect a good number of relays.

If the nostr person you wish to send sats to is set up to receive zaps, you can send that person sats from your lightning wallet.

Are nostr’s elements (relays, clients, keys) like horcruxes?
