0 sats \ 0 replies \ @TheBTCManual 3h \ on: The 🇳🇬 Naira is at parity with sats; 1 satoshi is currently ~₦1.0005474 bitcoin
Lol well Bitcoin had a halving, and the naira had 2 doublings in the last 4 years so they were bound to corss paths evenutally
I'm all for new tech, but I still feel like I need to see a commercial use of it, will people use these wallets is my question? The goal was to make certain trade offs to make custody simpler but i don't see that yet
Who will be spinning up federations or mints apart from exchanges or a few Bitcoin businesses?
So few people run nodes as it is, even less run LN, who will run this additional stack?
Kinda like chopping up a single sig into encrypted shares and having different parties hold those shares
When youth unemployment gets high enough conscription or some dig hole fill hole work program always comes around to save the day, give those with nothing constructive to do, something to do
As an SEO I've watched this downfall in real time and it's sooooo bad,
First we accepted rich snippets and instant answers stopping user click-through
Then they expanded adds above the fold
Then YouTube links started to outrank content
and we sort of found our way around that, people who wanted more than a one line answer still clicked through so if you sold a product, you could still make revenue with a more serious user clicking through, but ad revenue and affiliate sites took a knock and many died
But i'd say in the last 2 years its really gone down hill faster, Googl wasn't prepared for ChatGPT and spammers took full advantage, they would copy pasta sites and use LLMs to paraphrase and post content, spinning up huge sites that would steal traffic.
Google had to patch
Then they did the same thing, but but bought expired domains that had a previous history
Google had to patch
Then they bought subdomains on popular sites (domain reputation abuse) and spammed it
Google is still busy patching it
As for the HCU and YMYL shit, that's all biased towards big business and big sites, niche sites are getting creamed and even if you are a good quality content niche site, Reddit, linkedin pulse and quora posts about your post outranks you
I've been using qwant mostly for personal searches, it reminds me of google 10 years ago in terms of search relevancy
You have to appeal to your base, and the crypto crowd is growing and is up for grabs; many might even be single-issue voters, so trying to sway them to pledge alliance is worth selling out to a rug pull or two.
Nothing softens the voter base more than socialising some losses and pretending the inflation that comes after is just someone elses fault, lol works everytime
Lol, I can't believe they don't teach us how to properly fill in forms at school, think of all the taxes we'd save and how bad the roads would be
So we're starting to issue paper products on paper products, looks like we're at this point in the movie
My view is If fees are low it encourages more self custody and more on-chain if fees are high it just moves certain economic transactions from going on-chain for the time being, which will likely be consolidated on-chain when capital needs to be stored long term, because there's no substitute for a trusted on-chain UTXO
Yes, I would ad reads really kill my vibe, I try to skip but if I can autoskip with a few sats, i'm down for the cause
This would make for a worthwhile premium feature @MerryOscar, ad read free podcasts would be dope, and if you could filter by ad free podcasts in your feed
Also it could promote podcasters to use the fountain promote feature, where the ad read block could be bypassed, gamify the whole thing and see how the market reacts
If anything Apple would integrate the Bitcoin ETF like yeah you can own Bitcoin in your Apple wallet and its held with fidelity and our wallet will let you spend at all apple pay merchants and auto calculate your tax liabities and report it directly to your local tax man, its so easy, when you think of Bitcoin, think Apple Bitcoin
Lol wait till koob strikes a deal with OpenAI and Google to sell our data, then we we can just ask an LLM what they know about us
Makes sense if you've got gas and oil sitting there and you don't want to sell it on the open market and tank the premium you're getting why not use it to mine Bitcoin instead?
Relatively speaking places like Oman, Beruit, Kuwait and Qatar and UAE have been fairly chill to put up a business there, and with all that sun you could leverage their solar too
