Every time I feel kind of panicked about the unfolding dynamics of btc (examples here and here) I like to listen to @dhruv talk about pretty much anything. It often helps; more interestingly, it often helps in directions I hadn't considered.
This is one such example. Articulate, well-reasoned discussion about the present and future of btc.
Thanks. I don't recall if I ever made the point about how that fosters something closer to evergreenness. If you make a post that people keep coming back to throughout the year, that isn't really rewarded under the daily system, but you might end up with a big payout at the end of the year.
On the evergreenness topic specifically, I wonder if people could get credit for zapping content late, as well as early. Whatever decay function they use, could be modified with another function that grows very slowly over time.
I agree with @siggy47.
Very good points. I especially liked:
I'll create a ticket :)

As a r/bitcoin mod, i cosign this thread. we mods discussed whether to remove stacker.news links recently, but I pushed for supporting this lightning experiment, so you're in the clear for now.
It’s not just facial recognition either, it’s device IDs, gait (and walking) analysis, doorbell cams, car cams and more.
Technology is getting better, being enriched with more data points as time passes. Defensive tech is playing catch-up but will hopefully have its day soon. For now the best defence IMHO is voting with your feet, not by attending ineffective protests.
More details are provided on my github, where I'm also nearly finished with a proof-of-concept implementation of bitvm for bristol circuits:

Anarchy means: without rulers, not without rules.
People can agree each others without rules, based on direct agreements and common basic rules.
Bitcoin have very direct rules, without any ruler, so by itself is an anarchist protocol.
So yes, Bitcoin in the end will lead to an anarchy.
As I explained in one of my guides:

generic chinese calculator stealth wallet sounds like a great idea. With front facing calculator function and a key combo or longpress to unlock the wallet.
It'll be nice when people stop thinking of us as just another marketing channel and start thinking of us as a community of human beings.
Subs are obv a nice addition and much appreciated (feels good to be heard ;-). Thanks. But now comes the tricky part:
1/ What will be the next subs? Since Bitcoin and Nostr are covered, you can only add non-Bitcoin-related topics...
2/ How (and by whom) will new subs be created? SN creators, community voting?
I would suggest that anybody should be allowed to open a new sub, BUT with two conditions:
a/ You need to pay a high fee to create the sub (say 100k sats)
b/ Subs that don't reach a certain threshold of engagement after a week/month (number of posts and/or amount of sats tipped, TBD) are automatically terminated and the same subs can't be created for a month.
May the Force be with you.
As much as I believe that it's important for content creators to be compensated for their creative work, the current model Alby has right now with InSATgram makes it really difficult for people to truly appreciate content created by the content creator.
If you look at the model that SN and Zapread have, they are literally creating a platform where creators are compensated/given sats for their creative work. The creative work does the speaking and the consumers get to vote (with their sats) on how valuable the content is.
From a content marketing and branding perspective, the InSATgram model doesn't give room for the content creator to create a genuine connection with their readers. That makes it difficult for the creator to grow. If the creator doesn't grow, it will affect the success of the platform.
If you refer to the model that Starbackr has, you get to see content creators actually given the chance to get their content and creative work to do the talking. It would be interesting to see InSATgram doing its unique spin on Instagram using the current model that Starbackr, SN, and Zapread are following.
I think the InSATgram model as it is right now could work for the content creator's premium content or subscriber-only content where the content is locked to non-subscribers but open for subscribers. But this model should never be something that works as a standalone.
I love Alby and what they are doing but I feel that InSATgram would need some work. I look forward to see what they come up with.
Day 254 of snailposting everyday 'til BTC hits $100k.

Yesterday, I launched my new book for spanish readers. Available on Amazon and I can't tell how happy I am.
Keep stacking sats fren and stay humble.
Unfortunately I use the crypto.com visa card from my shitcoining days. I also use muun and the bitcoin company for things like Uber and Marshalls. I pay my bills with the Visa , and If I need to head to the store, I'll check if the store has a gift card, if not I'll send to the crypto card. I'm one of those plebs desperately waiting for the Strike Debit Card. As we all wait for merchants to accept lightning
It was listed for about a month before it sold. But to keep your privacy you must offer to pay shipping. If you want the buyer to pay for shipping you have to KYC.
I have another item listed and to find it I have to go to the site and find it. Or keep the initial offer link.
I've only seen them in nostrudel, and they leave alot to be desired.
SN could make a sub called "Community Subs"
In Community Subs would be a list of user generated subs like
"Darthcoin Citadel Temple"
"Thriller SOF"
"3d Printing for the plebs"
with functionality for the Community leader/leaders to moderate content
pay sats to post
paid subscribers
It would be wild to create an NPUB for the sub, and crosspost alot of the content to nostr, like some sort of blog with community driven posts.
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Your actions far outweigh your words. I like your list. If your actions don't match your words it is for nothing. But, words matter just try not to lecture. Pick your times and battles. Sounds like you are on the right track though. I have tried to instill these things in my boys as well. We will see if it sticks.
One thing I've heard and try to practice is to not think "I'm raising kids". That is failure. I am guiding my kids into being responsible and honorable men. If they are kids when they leave our house then I've failed as a father. And when I say honorable men, I mean men that have earned the respect of those around them including me and my wife.
I appreciate your passion and concern for humanity, and I agree that it's essential to prioritize human connections, communication, and creativity. It's crucial to strike a balance between embracing technological advancements and preserving the human qualities that define us.
AI, like any other technology, can be a double-edged sword. The key lies in using AI responsibly and ethically, ensuring it serves as a tool to enhance our lives rather than replace human interaction. By setting boundaries and guidelines, we can prevent the over-reliance on AI and preserve the essence of human experiences.
As a community, we should stay vigilant and be mindful of the potential consequences of AI integration in our daily lives. While I understand your concerns, I believe we can continue to use AI responsibly, fostering meaningful human interactions and promoting creativity. It's important to remain cautious and critical but also to appreciate the potential benefits AI can bring when used thoughtfully and ethically.
Morning stackers. This is an exciting time to be part of this nutty adventure.
I'd be curious about early thoughts about territories -- my mind is kind of spinning by the implication of it all.
Does the 16th amendment count? IYKYK!
