Last Notes npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann “Believe in science.” npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann The algorithm literally conditions our emotional state to make us more susceptible to the advertisement… npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann its just fun to talk about. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann This is the stay humble part of "stay humble, stack sats." npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann The average American spends 4 hours every day scrolling on their phone. For the younger generations its almost 6. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann 2007 US govt debt was $9T npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann #Bitcoin definitely ded this time for sure npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I will be checking out uv though. Thanks for the suggestions 🙏🏻 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann They scammed us out of sound money that we can just save independently, and then forced us to hand our life savings over to giant corporations just to match the c̶o̶u̶n̶t̶e̶r̶f̶e̶i̶t̶ inflation rate. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann 1 millino sats will be a big deal one day. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann No show is complete without a *little* pleb slop though. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann One of the most cucked ideas the public has been completely tricked into is that a bunch of corporations' stock prices is the health of the economy. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I’ve not really heard people saying Ark would replace LN. I’ve always heard that the best use case for Ark was that each transaction could BE a channel without any of the delay or general liquidity problems that tend to come with it. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann A payment to a Lightning channel inside the Ark works exactly like any other Lightning payment. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Always has been 😆 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann The ASP has to bridge the transaction, but it’s little different than what an LSP does. If your LSP doesn’t want to fulfill your payment, all you can do is close your channel. They are required in your oath either way. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Anyone can be an ASP by running the software. Identical to the LSP model in that way, just far more efficient transaction and data compression on chain. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I’ve seen nothing to suggest Ark doesn’t have the unilateral exit it is designed to have. I know very little of Spark, but Ark has been built entirely in the open and I see nothing to consider it any less of a viable tool than Lightning itself. Many of the same primitives enable it. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann How did you guys enjoy Crabtober? 😆 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Can’t zap right now. Will try again later npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann "If you have this disconnect between core devs that value one thing and the users that value something else. I mean something's gotta give at some point, right? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann This is way cooler than I think most realize. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann This actually shows the real problem with "mining" today, regardless of filters. People with bitcoin miners are NOT mining Bitcoin. Instead jsut these 7 node installed v30, and now more than half the blocks created in Bitcoin have ben altered. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Already been here 15 years and already do dream of 15 years ago 🤣 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I want to go back to a world where irresponsible and corrupt banks crashed and went out of business. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Be on a bitcoin standard and it’s just cheaper to spend it directly. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I said I was on it. You don’t have to keep pinging me. These things take time guys. Jesus. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Logo kinda looks like a wasp or a hornet - saw @nprofile…uht9 point this out too. Otherwise the branding looks super clean and I like the new look. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann But how? It seems like such a simple thing but its super bad UX on all Nostr tools for some reason. Seems crazy but its totally true, lol npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann The piece of shit who killed him is a perfect example, and Kirk himself couldn't be a better example of the polar opposite. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann All op-return opinions aside: npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Throwing everything into one bucket called "software" shows a gross misunderstanding of the spectrum here. A *consensus protocol* and an app are both software, but the conditions and need for each to change couldn't be further away from each other. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann If you can't reasonably defend your position on an issue or handle talking sensibly with someone who disagrees with you, that is a sign of a serious mental weakness or insecurity that you should probably work on. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann This is the way npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Bitcoin dips $20k in a shock candle… npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann This was an awesome article that everyone who cares about Nostr should listen to or read. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I just realized something else funny about this… I have no idea what you look like. So you could just be a total scammer putting a shoe on your ahead and I’d have no idea 🤣🤣 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Listen to the audio quality, this is 100% Sora 2 generation npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann So what are we gonna do to celebrate block 1,000,000? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Jesus Christ npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Only in a society with some degree of freedom, can a generation grow up so entitled as to think the natural state of the world is having whatever you want whenever you want it. And that somehow “free markets” stole this from them. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Anybody want some coffee? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann That aside, I also just couldn't think of a book that hit this topic directly rather than an off hand mention. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Hmm, honestly probably episodes of the show rather than any specific book might be the better option there. A few by Brandon Quittem have covered this specifically and might have references for furhter going down this rabbit hole. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Who knew you could make slinkies cool npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann The Faketoshi book is just wild man. The details and frauds he committed throughout this entire debacle enter into the realm of hilarity they are sometimes so brazen. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann not at all, but its still just insane. I've dealt with it personally and the banker gets quite a fun conversation about Bitcoin whenever it comes up. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann this is so insane... npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Debt based money and privacy cannot coexist. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann It's amazing how politically convenient mainstream economics is for government power. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Hint, it won't be retail payments or ecommerce. And everyone is misunderstanding what #Bitcoin's greatest value proposition is. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I'll tell you something, everything I've ever seemed to actually succeed at never felt like I was succeeding. To the contrary, it seems to always feel like i'm fucking up over and over and over again until something starts working. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Works more often than you’d think though 🤣 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann What will drive #Bitcoin's first $100 trillion? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann https://blossom.primal.net/cf9643a3ae50f5d5cee84c3733ceadc19d43b0b07728589b0a1aa1b2220f24be.gif npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Just amazing. Beautiful work npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann lol, sorry but you can politely fuck right off telling em what I should or shouldn’t talk about 🤣 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann “the computer is the bicycle of the mind" npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Just a PSA npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Gun control stops violence in exactly the same way censorship and propaganda stops people from ever being wrong. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann There is no greater coward than someone who can't defend their beliefs with anything other than violence. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Oh, voluntary trade is violence? I don’t think you know what the word “capitalism” means. And if you think the US has it, you definitely don’t know what it means. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Socialism is just a violent religion for the economically illiterate. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I am a techie, and have narrated a great many things with my beautiful voice, but I am not a veteran. Did a show with the bitcoin vets recently so that might be why you thought that. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann $102K #Bitcoin price is now considered low. Think about how quickly that happened. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Issuing loans from nothing is still money printing, still inflated the supply, and allows them to make interest loaning out capital that they never owned. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Possible, but I’d like harder evidence than merely a correlation to total node count. I’ve seen and even got messages from people saying they are finally spinning up their first node. It could be possible that people are actually feeling pressured to do so. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Try to have an honest conversation with someone… I don’t think it’s possible anymore. I just keep getting blocked and called some dumb new name they came up with to categorize the most retarded version of any particular opinion. 😂 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann It’s been said numerous times by many people in certain, but I’m one who has used that phrase quite often so you are likely correct that you heard me say it npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Redeem for the value of the loan if someone can’t repay. The “repossess” version of real estate except that it just repays the loan and what’s left over goes back to the borrower. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Unchained, Firefish, and I *think* Debifi. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Actually banks issue money as loans from nothing and without needing any reserves. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann This is so stupid 🤣 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Nah, it’s because scammers don’t actually want their tokens, they just trade them. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I would argue you have made a mistake about what “using money” means. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Fiat: Only the political and banking class can print money. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann If it’s actually the moon, there are no stars in front of it, so the moon, concerningly, has a large chunk missing since the star is obviously behind it. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann https://fountain.fm/episode/XZ5O1bKOWeLr8J3bjeRf npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I generally halt my exploration of probiotics right around the time things get near my asshole. 🤣 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann People are awesome, but they’d be even awesomer if they didn’t suck so much. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Imagine believing that earning money -- the act of working hard to do things for other people, to produce more of what others need, and explicitly not yet consuming anything -- is a burden that deserves to be taxed to prop up the govt, the most parasitic and destructive cancer on earth. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann You are projecting you're value lens onto people who dont have it. The overwhelming majority, especially politicians and those with true political power, see Bitcoin as a toy. It isn't a concenr because its small and unthreatening. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Nation states will (and are) begin to adopt or show interest in #Bitcoin, but they will be distracted, unenthusiastic, and see it as a very low priority. Basically something that gets attention and makes them look "forward thinking" but is of no great import on their agenda. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann We will never see #Bitcoin below $100K again npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I am deeply confused by this post. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Was about to post the same npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Everyone can start by cutting their hair the same way 🤣 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Adam is legend. We could all be more like Adam. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann This is the way npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Redditors are vicious without a cause. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Still my favorite thing about Bitcoiners is how vicious they are about every little npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I’m a knotzi 🤣 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann A lesson I learned the hard way. My son will know the truth 🫡😆 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann 🤣🤣 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann It was once understood that competing implementations are good for #Bitcoin. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann @nprofile…4kfn @npub1w74…u642 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Yeah they have frozen stolen/hacked funds numerous times in the past. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann No. Its an annoying problem (and i do run knots), but its not existential. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann No they can't "censor" the transaction because its attached to bitcoin/lightning which they can do nothing about. But they can "destroy" a particular balance. Tether basically vouches/signs for all balances of USDT that they issue, and so they can revoke the legitimacy of the coins at any time and simply claim "we won't redeem these particular coins anymore." So if someone steals a billion in USDT, they can make it so they can't spend it and as long as people check the USDT validity, it would be easy to see they shouldn't accept it and it would look like "counterfeit" USDT. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Correct. I keep it in there until I'm ready to use it, or I have enough that I want to just put it in cold storage. But i leave it as long as I can because my cost basis is when i hit "send."
