Nostr doesn't scale, so it made the choice to (usually) host image/video content externally, rather than in the Nostr protocol itself. That's why random people can collect your IP addresses.
If Nostr was a well designed, scalable, decentralized protocol, this wouldn't be an issue. But they're papering over their centralization and scaling problems by hosting big media externally, and relying on the fact that notes are usually small and servers are fast.
This! Just use the same model as Stacker News - people pay for upvotes, but you can see the text before paying for it. It's OK to charge for asking questions, though.
The devs are not normally considered a risk because people in the btc community over-index on the technical structures in the ecosystem, and under-index on the social structures. What gets merged in the code is the result of human judgment, and judgment is a social product. The opinions we all have are the result of social processes.
The mantra of DYOR ignores the fact that the R comes from someplace -- it comes from the ideas that are laying around. So which ideas are lying around? In many cases they come from idea intermediaries, since people are famously reluctant to think for themselves.
I think this means that, while exerting significant influence over core development is a kind of quasi-centralization risk, the nature of the 'risk' is worth thinking about. Specifically, it's hard to decouple 'risk' from 'influence' and as social primates, we will never be free from influence.
Markets (like eg the nyse or nasdaq) are agnostic to which piece of paper is traded. Apple stock has the same circuit breakers as AMD stock. The Bitcoin etf will halt at the same markers like other securities. Idk if they have special buckets for etns - they might have special rules that only apply to commodity funds tho.
Fun fact: When studying how dogs read and interpret human faces/emotions, their eyes move in a pattern very similar to humans. We’ve essentially co-evolved and it shows.
The Cuban Bitcoin community would be a great option in my opinion. They live in an extremely poor and oppressed society. What we call spare change is a monthly salary to them. Just a few days can be enough to get them very useful stuff for them like VPN subscriptions.

Because the goal is entertainment for an audience to draw in people buying tickets.
As long as people are willing accept shitty fiat I will dump it on them, if I have any, and keep my bitcoin.
I don't think that's her. The hair in that photo doesn't look very healthy 😂

I had been assuming it was something using Synonym's Slashtags. I know this is exactly the kind of thing they've been working on.
Sounds good to me. 10 satoshis is still only 0,002$.
Two things:

Woo Hoo. 1M sats! Well done everyone. I can finally unglue my eyes from my laptop and stop drinking coffee.
Amazing. Keep zapping guys!
Gotta run some errands but check in later!
This isn't discussed much that I've ever seen.

Shitcoins will exist no matter what. Might as well have them settle in bitcoin
