Nostr uses 🤙 instead of ❤️ for likes.
You can use ANY emoji though - long press the 🤙 button and choose a different emoji to react with.
But yes, zaps is the superpower. You get micropayments instead of/on top of “likes”.
Get your Wallet of Satoshi setup and added to your profile and we’ll show you
-
I’m still on Damus for now so I can help.
You’ll find your likes/replies/mentions etc all under the bell icon in the bottom right of your screen.
If you download Wallet of Satoshi and want to add your wallet here;
- tap your profile in top left
- tap profile
- paste your WalletOfSatoshi address in the field
Primal is likely easier for you to use but you do have to do basic KYC for their bitcoin wallet. Damus + Wallet of Satoshi is probably ok though too https://i.nostr.build/7hdtQEbSWfTGKwpy.jpg https://i.nostr.build/aGxjN5tofyIYHdvZ.jpg
-
What app are you using to read this?
We have “likes” on #nostr, see screenshot of my notifications in Damus.
But we prefer “zaps” - sending small amounts of Bitcoin to good posts.
You need to setup a Bitcoin Lightning wallet to receive zaps though. Download https://www.walletofsatoshi.com , create an account, then press “Receive” and post a screenshot of your QR code and receiving address. https://i.nostr.build/xzDg3tGEtgYDqIT8.jpg

Value is subjective because it requires applied knowledge for value to be realised.
If you don’t know how to realise value from something, you might consider it worthless.
Aborigines in Australia left gold nuggets in the dirt because they had no knowledge of money or trade or metallurgy or dentistry - their lack of knowledge spurred the biggest gold rush in the world once others WITH such knowledge learned of the discovery.
If you gave a 15th century peasant a TI-83 calculator they would have no idea what to do with it. They’d probably trade it for a loaf of bread because that is something they have knowledge the value of.
We need to drum this knowledge part into people’s heads when saying value is “subjective” because it explains why the “intrinsic” line is wrong, and importantly it ties into information asymmetry which practically no-one who says “intrinsic” has any understanding of but could easily learn and be persuaded of.

Possibly not on that vector, but if you go back 30 years those guys were all on the piss and smoking darts and then going out in Indian dustbowls to sweat it out in 40 degree heat. They might have been more gritty, but a lot of that was self-inflicted.
There are still a lot of 4th innings grinds for a draw and we see batsman hang on when the situation dictates.
DRS has made Tests better with how crucial each wicket is, and the skills transfer from short form has improved it overall IMO.
Actually separating forms of the game rather than keeping one form and have that change entirely has helped. Tests remain the pinnacle, even for the younger generations, they know that’s what the true cricket fans care about and that’s where they want to prove themselves.
Enjoy your Scorchers game!

If these brainchips take off there will be a transition period where first it’s just rich kids at elite schools who have this, then upper middle class as prices come down and you can already imagine leftist screeching that they should be “free” and every kid should have one.

Had to watch it twice to snap myself out of my default agreeing with Saif 😂
Hyperinflation coming about from the increase in supply of fiat currency rather than reduction in demand makes sense. In fact pretty much all of that section of the preso makes sense.
I guess the counterpoints here would be dollar-milkshake-esque and may be right or wrong but let me try anyway, Saif can put me in my box if I’m wrong.
“If you can save in a hard money that appreciates, you are less likely to borrow to finance large purchases” (slide 31)
That I don’t believe to be accurate. If I need to buy a house today, I’m getting the biggest fiat mortgage on the longest time horizon possible knowing that fiat will debase whilst Bitcoin will appreciate. I had a dig at nostr:npub19jhpz8m5tv2m33z78es7r0qseth8th77kttf6kerk0x80sfuy75s44uy5w for this very thing; using BTC savings when fiat credit creation is available doesnt make sense.
We know this is how the asset rich fund their lifestyles too - borrowing against assets (fiat mining) to get fiat and roll loans in perpetuity.
So long as debasing credit money exists alongside appreciating commodity money, you’re better off using the former for large purchases.
I don’t think that invalidates any of Saif’s point though, just a difference of opinions on that one statement.
“When fiat credit creation expands, it causes unsustainable speculative bubbles, which collapse and bring money supply down.” (Slide 32)
Again, his point is correct. However, when the bubble is at the sovereign level I’m not sure that applies.
Back to BoJ for the example there. When it happens in a particular sector it can fail or be bailed out, but when it’s the sovereign’s balance sheet well then there is nowhere else to kick the can other than the lender of last resort.
I think the real difficulty here and why I referenced dollar milkshake is this all happens to other countries first, they collapse in to the USD which continues to grow and become stronger because of the effects Saif is describing - reduced fiat demand&supply in one fiat will somewhat go towards Bitcoin, but especially in the short term, it will moreso go to USD. Much like we’ve seen bank consolidations over the past 50 years, we’ll see fiat currency consolidations over the next 50.
The system (all of it, not just the US) keeps requiring these large liquidity injections because even mild deflation sends ripples through other sectors making business cycles very difficult to contain. Sovereigns have deduced it’s easier to flood the system with fiat and avoid cascading collapses than let anything get too bad and require direct intervention like 2008 as it’s too visible and politically unpalatable now.
We saw this during Covid - that was a WAY bigger bailout, Sovereigns just hid it better and spread it wider that time.
Overall I agree that Bitcoin could allow fiat to peacefully unwind, and Saif would probably agree with bigger fiats gobbling up smaller ones, in fact I’m not even disagreeing with his thesis, just considering the order of operations and how that last sovereign level unwinds.
