If it suddenly became evident that #Bitcoin was developed by NSA, it wouldn’t change anything (except maybe for its price for some time). 1. Bitcoin’s code is open and had been thoroughly checked by hundreds of developers for over a decade. 2. All Bitcoin transactional records are transparent. 3. Thousands of individuals run Bitcoin software 24/7 validating each transaction that was ever made. 4. No single entity has the power to alter Bitcoin code or have reasonable effect on its development. P.S. U.S. Department of Defence had a significant role in development of Internet, yet, thanks to its decentralized nature, it works (almost) as intended and benefits billions of people all over the world. With FOSS software creators play little to no role as years pass.

This question is probably insanely naïve, but nonetheless, I still have trouble understanding it and would like to learn. If the USD is becoming more and more worthless and we shouldn’t care about it nor save in it, why does it necessarily even matter what #Bitcoin is priced in USD? USD is being debased daily, BTC is only 21 million. What does it matter if it’s 60k or 300k? Is the only reason because we are legally required to do everything in USD? (e.g. taxes, salary, commerce). Meaning our assets go higher and that matters simply because we are still in the USD system? #asknostr #grownostr

“This ‘telephone’ has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us.” — Western Union internal memo, 1876 “Rail travel at high speed is not possible because passengers, unable to breathe, would die of asphyxia.” — Dr. Dionysius Lardner, 1830 “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.” — Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943 “Everyone acquainted with the subject will recognize it as a conspicuous failure.” — -Henry Morton, president of the Stevens Institute of Technology, on Edison’s light bulb, 1880 “The horse is here to stay but the automobile is only a novelty — a fad.” — -The president of the Michigan Savings Bank advising Henry Ford’s lawyer not to invest in the Ford Motor Co., 1903 “Television won’t last because people will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night.” — -Darryl Zanuck, movie producer, 20th Century Fox, 1946 “No one will pay good money to get from Berlin to Potsdam in one hour when he can ride his horse there in one day for free.” — King William I of Prussia, on trains, 1864 “The wireless music box has no imaginable commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to no one in particular?” — -Associates of David Sarnoff responding to the latter’s call for investment in the radio in 1921 “How, sir, would you make a ship sail against the wind and currents by lighting a bonfire under her deck? I pray you, excuse me, I have not the time to listen to such nonsense.” — Napoleon Bonaparte, when told of Robert Fulton’s steamboat, 1800s “The idea that cavalry will be replaced by these iron coaches is absurd. It is little short of treasonous.” — Comment of Aide-de-camp to Field Marshal Haig, at tank demonstration, 1916 “I must confess that my imagination refuses to see any sort of submarine doing anything but suffocating its crew and floundering at sea.” — HG Wells, British novelist, in 1901 “It’s worse than tulip bulbs. It won’t end well. Someone is going to get killed.” — JP Morgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon, on #Bitcoin, in 2017. “Everyone acquainted with the subject will recognize it as a conspicuous failure.” — Henry Morton, president of the Stevens Institute of Technology, on Edison’s light bulb in 1880 💡 Tick tock, next block 🧡

an interesting nostr experiment to do... create a mute list. a big long one with all kinds of people on it. then create a new empty one, and use that as your actual mute list. but just leave the other one. let it sit there, and go about your business. what will happen next, is every low quality, insecure person, who become outraged at the very thought that someone wouldnt want to listen to THEM, will reveal themselves to you. doing the work for you, and you will see it all in real time. words for the wise and secure, never check if youre on mute lists. who cares? the people youre meant to connect with will connect with you.

Haha nice

You gonna give those kids that sort of education?

I’m 22 now and I cannot wait to start my family. The only thing that I foresee being difficult is knowing when I’m financially ready to have a child and then how many am I actually able to support. Here’s hoping that #Bitcoin does what we all believe that it will because I want a large family.
