Could SN enable following individual stackers by using the nostr follow protocol?
I would want to follow my favorite stackers - both their "'social" (nostr notes) and their "content" (SN posts...)
Wife’s birthday 🎂! Taking the fam out to brunch. Stacking sat rewards on the purchase. I’ll surprise her on how many sats we have at a later date. After 3 years in the space I’m still down big so gonna wait
Yup. Can’t buy anything with Bitcoin yet where I live. I get the ultimate vision, but things haven’t solidified yet like I hoped. At least everyday I hit a new sat record, since I DCA. If we hit a Bitcoin standard I’ll be ready. If not, I’ll be the idiot who jumped in late to the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time. I still don’t know which scenario is most likely.
So I mentioned yesterday in the daily discussion thread that I will meet with friends and talk about btc. Turns out that bankers did not show up on the meeting for some reason. Anyway it was still very good to talk about how things have changed since btc came into existence. Now we are considering with my friends to make money just buy exchanging crypto to gold, silver, fiat and vica versa. By the way the ideas sounds good however it is difficult to be profitable especially when the market is falling for a year.
Individuals (and many businesses) want the reassurance of a centralised and across-the-board compatible software model.
Multiple open-source programs / services create a feeling of risk for traditional business managers regardless of the reality. Concerns about integration etc are significant in medium-size business which may not have an IT dept.
Very excited for AI to break down gated software. We'll have free and open access to any of these tools, probably all be baked into one simple AI interface.
We could end up with closed sourced AI, or basically AI as a closed service, just like we have MS Office as a service.
Just because it's AI it doesn't mean it is open. We need people working on this, making it free and available, like StableDiffusion and things like gpt4all
This basically already happened, the web 1.0 was all open, but greed changed it all and now it's all centralized and closed.
We have the chance to keep AI apps free, as in libre, but based on the recent past, I think people will prefer to use a "free" service than to learn how to do it themselves.
Good morning peeps!!! It's Sunday funday, hope everyone is recharging this weekend, the last week of August is here, this month went pretty quick but it was well received, we managed to get things done and that is good, remember to set goals that can be achievable, if you have a big one, then split it in smaller ones and do one at a time, enjoy the journey it can't be achieved by the snap of the fingers, it takes time, discipline and effort. One step at a time/one goal at a time. I wish you a phenomenal Sunday, may it be filled with success, love and fulfillment. You are important, you are awesome and never forget that. Be well and stay frosty my friend!
I am starting to see splits in the community you have on one side Bitcoin conservatives who almost never want to see change for the protocol and the Bitcoin liberals who want to change to make it more inclusive for people and altcoins projects. The solution is somewhere in the middle. Since this is a deep bear market discussions such as these are magnified.
You don't want your money to change all the time.
In fact, the simpler the base layer, the better. Simple means that it is not easy to make mistakes. The expansion layer maintains freedom, and anyone can display their creativity on the expansion layer. In fact, the basic layer is not always unchanged, after enough discussion and testing, it will be changed gradually. As for speculators wanting to experiment directly with everyone's bitcoins, I think it's irresponsible.
Absolutely true about the division and magnification. But Bitcoin can accommodate and include all even if the participants are intolerant of one another. The demand in the market will decide..
This is why I like this space. No king makers or fake money pushing one side or another. If the majority of humans act in a manner that is best for their own self interest then we can see what ideas win out in the long run. For me I see the argument on both sides but what will humans decide as the best way forward as it comes to this protocol
It’s a Sunday. Feeling guilty as I had the opportunity to work yet spending it with my family. The balancing act between working to live and living to work shouldn’t be a thing but it is for so many people.
My priorities? Eating, heating and clothing my family. We spend what time we can together but days off are a rare privilege.
I have guilt for not working today since I work minimum wage and stack $1 a day from my wages towards a brighter Bitcoin future. I am enrolled at college and I am doing what I can for my families tomorrow.
Right now we survive and maybe tomorrow we can thrive.
