They will fail, and people only realize this when they fail.

tbh, nostr and its clients are not stable enough when a user load posts. Sometimes posts and followers do show up. You are also not sure if your posts have reached your followers.

Glad to know you through a OG bitcoiner posting this nostr note in Bitcoin Association of Hong Kong(BAHK) chat.
This nostr a/c BTCHK is a meetup group for bitcoiners to socialize in HK monthly. We start to announce meetup venue on nostr starting June(previously on meetup dot com). The next meetup will be on Sept 7th(Thu). Keep in touch dude. Appreciate your effort!

Why can't bitcoiners just hodl or DAC and wait for halving?
The main reason is that halving, in theory, only doubles bitcoin price if the mass adoption stays the same(do nothing). Purely hodling can't realize bitcoin's value. Or even just DAC or buying bitcoin yourself can't make much difference comparing with half trillion total value bitcoin is right now.
Very simple mathematics:
Demand / supply + fiat depreciation = price movement
bitcoin is NEVER deflationary. There is only new supply. And the supply is halved every four years. bitcoin supply is definite. Don't think about supply(halving). Think about demand!
"I am just buying" That's not enough. Try to spend and earn bitcoin at the same time to let more people know bitcoin!¹

My experience is that the bitcoin hardcore people or hodlers or earlycomers are very reluctant to spend ANY amount of bitcoin no matter how much the mainchain fee is. They don't trust lightning and are obsessed with "4-year cycle ATH"
Respect people who think in that way. They are the only person to control their bitcoin with their own keys. But I would like to talk to and socialize with people who are willing to circulate bitcoin, e.g. storing(buying) or spending bitcoin. If a currency won't circulate, it is worth nothing coz no one is accepting it.
Sometimes feel frustrated when my bill splitting suggestion got rejected. "I don't want to spend my bitcoin... Not convenience to know people know my sending address... I don't trust Lightning... Lightning always failed..." But this won't stop me from letting people know the use cases and your human rights that bitcoin gives you. Meetup will still happen.

Some forms of censorship are not intentional that even the platform creator, owner or engineers don't realize. For example, an algo to choose what should appear first on a specific twitter user feed. This can be a censorship technologically that no one can fully understand the impact. In my opinion, less algo means less censorship.

Truth should be repeated again and again. Why bitcoin is not PoS...

Should a user have right to not let anyone who has not seen a specific post to know the user "Like" it?

2023-07-24 04:00:51

- reply

There is a difference between "available in public" and "available for anyone who have seen the post."

spam will target users if this info is available in public?

2023-07-24 01:08:24

- reply

I like your post. Does this depend on the architecture of nostr? If "Like" info is available in public freely, I feel not right. I rather keep the "Like" data from outsiders who do not read the corresponding posts. Is it better that only users who read the posts have access to Like data so that "Like" bookmarks are only available to yourself?

2023-07-18 03:23:06

Someone asked me if "bitcoin is a cult?"
I said, "Yes, bitcoin is a cult based on mathematics, economics and cryptography. You may or may not need to know how it works. It's like traveling by an aeroplane which you don't know how it works. But it is way more interesting than you think..."

it has been very scary for decades. Now they can not just use to nullify your thought but also read(decode) it...😰

Apart from a wider range of content, as an average user, I need edit and delete function coz sometimes I have typo.

2023-07-10 23:03:13

I think it is a matter of time to see more diverse content. The best think we can do is to let more people know nostr.

Cool. This is your nostr, Odell. Followed. Good news bro! As an average user, I think nostr may not impress many average Joe yet. But nostr is built on freedom that average citizen take it for granted and never imagine it is taken away by capitalist and gov. People in authoritarian countries need nostr the most.

This is because Elon Musk restricted the number of readable threads, put on censorship and don't pay cloud service bills. Centralization is NEVER affordable for the long run.

It is to provide nostr with a use case. Meetup dot com is nice. Hope they will accept bitcoin payment soon.

not quite know the short form. I joined unsuccessfully b4 that i lost my key pair. I just thought it is not a big deal. But now I know why we need a platform like nostr

2023-04-23 05:38:10

Regret I won't join nostr sooner. BTCHK is some bitcoiners who host bitcoin meetup in Hong Kong. Time flies. It's been running for over TEN years. BTCHK used meetup dot com since 2015. Check out here: https://www.meetup.com/bitcoin-hk
We are finding solutions to replace the centralized platform for meetup. Stay tuned

This is an evolution called self-sovereignty. Don't be hijacked by the bad guys selling "web3"... This is what your future.

you can't delete anything on nostr I guess

2023-04-21 05:28:15

When someone is talking about web3.0, ask if they heard of nostr
