The best way to discover more content on nostr is to follow interesting people, which gets your "timeline" juiced up and you see who they are talking to. Most of the robust clients will help with this, but a few general tips here:
1. Do a search for terms of interest to you (i.e. homesteading or bitcoin or venture capital or car racing). Follow the interesting people you find that are talking about those things.
2. Check out the people being followed by cool people you follow. Follow them.
3. Clients like @npub12vk…pugg have options to save searches you do as views on your timeline, so regardless of whether you follow someone talking about that subject, you'll see their stuff.
That'll get you rolling. Clients more and more are incorporating "trending" kinds of lists, so curation is growing. The biggest difference in nostr is there isn't an algorithm that shapes your perception; you have to be the shaper. Once you do, the conversation is much more interesting here!

The quality of a relationship is measured by whether "cuts" inflicted heal to .99 or 1.01. All relationships of depth involve periodic cuts (wounds/disagreement). Cuts heal to 1.01 by repair and understanding vs. only healing to .99 by bypassing effects & no repair time.

100%. Money is a layered concept in the modern world, meshed together, and complex. Not fully a complex ADAPTIVE system (yet) but once we fully take the shackles off with a commonly used core ledger it might be.
Either way, we don't need 100% adoption of every use case to be the best money we've ever had.

Exactly. Almost all of the benefit of human flourishing has come from:
"aim at something, find something better"
plus
"have consistent ways of being that produce maximum opportunity to capitalize on the surprises/opportunities/challenges/encounters".

2023-12-31 16:47:53 UTC

- reply

Agree that systems > goals, as systems that produce consistent micro outcomes almost always get you to the major outcomes you're going for (goals).
I also think too many people limit their world by being obsessed with specific outcomes and miss the serendipity that creates most of the things we look back on as our favorite things to happen to us.

To be clear my comments about "assuming a single future scenario" is about people who say "Bitcoin has a security budget problem".
A hypothetical assumption about a long-dated future state, made from variables that change over time and are adapted to by thinking actors, is not a problem. It is a scenario, and many have ideated ways that scenario might be adjusted to, to user's of Bitcoin's benefit, without any change to the protocol's current construction.
And if the response to this is "but fees will be too high to buy coffee on L1", then you've already abandoned your original complaint, and ignored other solutions that already exist.

2023-09-06 16:14:32 UTC

- reply

"are precisely the problem" - by definition, there is no precise-ness to our assumptions about the future. Introducing new incentives for actors in this ecosystem in a hurried and contentious way, and not mitigating the risks of those changes, based upon something we do not "know" will happen is where the market has chosen thus far to draw the line.

Assuming a single future scenario within a complex adaptive system, & using that assumption to proclaim the only solution we will ever need, is either mistaken or disingenuous.

This is one of the results of the 4th turning cycle, repeated in history in the 1770's (revolution), 1860's (civil war), 1930's (world war), and beginning now (who knows? 🤷🏽‍♂️).
As we get this late in the long cycle (80-100 years ), monetary systems break down, social unrest increases, people start to think there's no hope, get desperate, and masses of desperate people can be directed towards world-changing outcomes.
It gets worse before it gets better. We have hope in #freedomtech and #bitcoin and self-reliant skills (growing food, building/repairing things, philpsophical inquiry), but we must remember that turbulent times are likely on the way.

During the last bull run of Bitcoin's price, there was a trend of enthusiasts (self included - and still laser-eyed on X) that adopted adding laser eyes to our profile pics. The common refrains were "laser eyes until $100k BTC" or "BTC to $100k".
