I get that. Same goes for Bitcoiner. I love hanging out with them.
But I really want to tell people about these solutions (Nostr / Bitcoin), so they also have the opportunity to opt for them.
Just like someone once told me about them. My life changed so much for the better. I want that opportunity for everyone.

platform vs public space
For my own understanding, I put this in a physical realm thought experiment:
A public space is a square or agora, if u will.
A platform, let’s call it a stage, is build on such a public space.
People can speak or perform on the square or on the stage. One is permissionless the other is not. It doesn’t tell you anything about the quality of the speaker or performer, if they are on that stage, but it sure directs the attention.
Public spaces give anyone the option to speak or perform. That does not exempt them from consequences of that action of course.
The best part is: I decide to stay and listen or go somewhere else.
All can be said, that doesn’t mean you have to listen. Kind of like #nostr

Reading “The history of money” (Jack Weatherford) right now. I like it a lot so far.

The only problem with this, that I see at the moment, is that I would possibly get endless notifications from the wallet.
So a customizable filter or threshold for notifications would be nice.

@npub1u8l…turz What are your thoughts on this?

2023-07-30 16:57:16

- reply

Isn’t that a problem? If it shows up as my zap, but it wasn’t mine, then that would give maybe a different kind of signal (feedback) that I did not intend to give.
What do you think?

2023-07-30 16:48:45

I have a question about #Zapplepay.
In theory you could choose to power boost someone else right? If I would connect my wallet with someone else’s npub?
Then every time he / she likes something I would zap for / as that person.
Is this possible? If so… is that a good thing?

More important then the money imo:
You lose the clear signal for your content. Value4value is clear feedback, a free market for information valuation.

Interesting you see it that way. I had a totally different takeaway from the show.
I think that in the end both humans and the AI are showing there true colors. It comes down to the attitude and the decisions they make in there journey to determine who they are.
For me it represents the freedom to choose. To change ones attitude about a situation, make the decision to do something differently and execute on it, in a way that is true to yourself.

For more information on the idea:
#note1duy…wmx5

2023-05-31 06:58:44

I would like to see #Nostr as the global agora in cyberspace. For this to happen we need to gather and display the knowledge for those who come next.
There is so much knowledge being shared on #Nostr. In form of links (to podcasts, websites, videos, books), but also in form of discussions and notes.
The thing is that these information are not noticed by the people that weren’t present in that conversation. It’s also hard to find things.
So I’ll propose a library on #Nostr. Alexandria. Decentralized in a global cyberspace.
How it might work:
- Voting system through #zaps for content quality
- Combine with highlights (#[4])
- Tags through #zap note (u have to vote and “pay” to add tags)
- Highly valued content could be uploaded to special relays that just admit nodes with certain zap level and zap tags
- Inspired by Fedi: every community (for example #bitcoin Nostr) has their library and it’s relay, financed through split zaps (for every zap I make I give like 2% to the library relay)
- Could be a zero sum community model that the relay, if it gets to many zaps for the costs, pays back out to donors
- Community cares about there knowledge so higher quality is expected
- Community’s of different content can form links to point to crossover knowledge
- Relays could be federated, protected by guardians
- These relays can be found by hashtags
- Searchable through #tags, valued by #zaps
Next time history rhymes I want the next generation to find our discussions, knowledge and solutions. It might proof valuable, but in the very least it saves a lot of time.
Thank you #[9] for the inspiration.

We should share more good podcasts, spaces recordings and stuff for people to listen to.
Is there a chain or hashtag for this yet? Or can we build a nostr library based on sats for the best episode? Sats going directly to participants of the space or podcast (best case).

It is Gresham's law in action.
There will come a time when it doesn’t apply anymore. This will happen bit by bit, when people decide it is worth it.
It could be for example that spending bitcoin is more convenient, quicker or cheaper then the alternative.
Then it will become the medium of exchange and later on unit of account.
It is the gradual process of becoming money. This definition will not be true for everyone at the same time.

Everyone is different. Circumstances might change, so does the importance of the tradeoffs that the possible solution might bring with it.
For me personally self custody is always the better option over custodial solutions. The first step is more important then the optimization for privacy, security and so on. Don’t you think?

The question is: What is appropriate and how do we define value?

Wealth distribution should be appropriate to the value one provides, imo.
As Will & Ariel Durant put it in The Lessons Of History:
“Economic development specializes functions, differentiates abilities, and makes men unequally valuable to their group.”
#bitcoin is, in my view, the best shot we got for a level playing field.

The latest book I finished:
The Lessons of History

A small book with big lessons. I spent at least as much time thinking about it as reading it. In my opinion well worth the time.
There are to many good quotes and ideas to choose from, but what stuck with me the most was:
“If a man is fortunate he will, before he dies, gather up as much as he can of his civilized heritage and transmit it to his children.”

Value, in my mind, is always achieved through scarcity, because it is something that is hard to obtain.

On #nostr we are the algorithm, for now.
So sharing and posting what you find valuable is more important then ever.
I would like to see more human gatherer accounts for valuable content, also for different kinds of topics.
I would probably subscribe to them.
They should be side by side with algorithms that I can choose, turn on and off or even edit myself.
We could share those self-made “helper algorithms”.
