Hey Freaks,

The journey of our lifetime is litterally between the bitcoin and fiat monetary systems. I'm getting Oregon Trail/Underground railroad vibes. Its funny how most people see bitcoin as some sort of crypto stock, when its actually the friggin land of the free.

Thanks, Hustle

I'm litterally out here, switching operating systems and consumption habits. If your a bitcoiner and your not busy as hell right now, your not bullish enough. If your not optimistic about the future, your not bulish enough. I would even dare to say, that if your not on nostr and thinking about UTXO management, your not bullish enough. Nowadays I'm looking at Apple Music like its Psyop Music, Stacker News like its pure alpha, and the bitcoin price....... like its the bitcoin price.

I think someone zapped and unzapped me a million sats.

I was checking the leaderboard and it showed that I had stacked over a million sats, then it dropped back down to 70k.

Has anyone else has noticed anything like that?

24 sats \ 5 replies \ @gnilma 15 Mar

You can unzap people? How?

21 sats \ 4 replies \ @Undisciplined 15 Mar

It's in the settings. If you enable it, you get like 5 seconds to rescind your zap.

I found it kind of irritating, because I like to change pages quickly and that was messing up my zaps.

78 sats \ 2 replies \ @WeAreAllSatoshi 16 Mar

I just assumed the recipient wouldn’t be notified until the 5 seconds were up. @ek can you clarify?

145 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 16 Mar freebie

Yes, it's actually a cancel zap instead of a real undo. It just looks like an undo for UX reasons.

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @WeAreAllSatoshi 16 Mar

Yea, that makes sense. This was also probably infinitely easier to implement than the other way.

Oh, good to know. Don't think I'll enable it though. Reversible transactions are so fiat.

I only played with this when I was a kid, and it's really fun to make the clay into different shapes and then play around; creation is about experimenting and turning your imagination into reality. 🧪

Definitely, Natalia is a woman of many talents. In Portugal, there is also a strong tradition of pottery, mainly in the Alentejo region, but it also exists in the north of the country with a particularity: they use black clay.

not yet, more like just being curious to see how things are being made. 👀 and wow, why they use black clay.?

33 sats \ 5 replies \ @0xbitcoiner 15 Mar

The reason for the black color is unclear for me, but the tradition dates back to the 16th century. It's worth noting that the clay itself isn't black. The black color is achieved during the firing process in a soenga, which is a type of oven dug into the ground. After the pottery is fired, it's covered with moss and earth, which gives it its final appearance.

the more interesting thing for me is how people figured out that they can use clay to make things!

Let’s learn about ramen 🍜

Was first known in Japan as “chuka soba” (Chinese-style noodles)
Rairaiken, a restaurant in Asakusa, Tokyo, was believed to be the first to serve ramen in 1910.
Ramen gained popularity after WWII because rice was scarce. So many shops served ramen due to cheap flour supplies.
Gained credibility after a ramen shop was listed in the Tokyo Michelin Guide 2015.
In 1994, Kumamoto Prefecture’s Ajisen Ramen initiated the globalisation of ramen culture by opening their first international store in Taiwan, followed by stores in Beijing and Hong Kong.
Many types of ramen have been created, including Sapporo miso ramen & Hakata tonkotsu ramen.

I was a US college student who survived on really cheap (4 for a dollar) Oodles Of Noodles in the 1970s. The generic knock off brands were 5 for a dollar. Each package came with a powdered flavor foil. Now there are fancy ramen places everywhere.

I see where you're coming from, I used to hold altcoins for those exact reasons. But over time and as I learned more, I came to the conclusion that Bitcoin is the best and that's what I'm sticking with. I look at the world around me and I recognize that smart contracts are a functionality that Bitcoin definitely needs.

42 sats \ 1 reply \ @carlosfandango 15 Mar

I don’t know. Bolting stuff onto Bitcoin is like putting an alter on the back of a priests car - it’s kinda handy but it would be better left in the church.

If we want Bitcoin to have additional functionality (for whatever reason) we are better off creating that in a software system and using Bitcoin as the medium of the protocol and not the method .
