I used to go alone, as a tiny 5'3 woman, to meet randos off Craigslist to sell and barter with precious metals. where there's a will (and some weirdos) there's a way.

Centralized social media is like being unarmed. If governments come after them and shut them down or ask to remove profiles or posts there's nothing I can do. Decentralized protocols, like Nostr, are like being armed. It doesn't prevent governments coming after you or the platforms, but you have tools to fight back. And, the fight will come so prepare for that. Some people will go down, but hopefully more will stand up and keep it going. That's the difference, here you are armed. Not safe, but empowered.

primal app is fantastic, integrated wallet is the best feature, but loading is taking a long time and failing sometimes. almost there.

This is who your industry leaders give 10s of millions of diollars to and lift up. This is mentality defended here by most. Authoritarian lunacy. Doesn't understand incentives, has no faith in the chain wants to control what everyone on earth does to the point of breaking the chain to do it. If being on X is selling out what the fuck is this? If using other chains to sign contracts, loan money or make money is shit, wtf is this? Nahhh this isn't freedom, free markets, or the future.

POS chains can't handle inscriptions. Arbitrum shit down for 15 minutes and Avalanche had transaction costs go from pennies to over $20. The fact that Bitcoin can handle it (all be it with a little stress) is a positive, it's a proof of pow. Time stamping is utility and utility is king. The hype and garbage stuff will dye out, some art and value items will continue. The lessons and use cases are set in stone. Overall this is a positive for Bitcoin.
