GREAT CHAT WITH @preston ABOUT BITCOIN AND NOSTR. CATCH THE FULL RIP ON HIS YOUTUBE AND PODCAST FEED. https://cdn.satellite.earth/e2ae887229fff0722f3f50282b6718f78eba1a8e8867db7a49bdc79548e36e97.mp4

Came in for the money first. Learned about #Bitcoin #Nostr and #Cypherpunks and ended up here. https://i.nostr.build/g0C1t8F38hWi5WDz.jpg "My Cypherpunk Address 2024. "We stand at a crossroads. The world around us is increasingly shaped by surveillance and control. Governments and corporations collect our data, read our messages, and listen to our conversations. They know everything about us, but we know nothing about them. But we have a means to fight back. We have #cryptography. We have the power to protect our data, to encrypt our communication. We have the power to reclaim our privacy. And we have more. We have #Bitcoin, the decentralized currency that allows us to control our finances ourselves. We have the power to conduct our own transactions, without a bank or a state getting in the way. And we have #Nostr, the decentralized social network that allows us to control our communication ourselves. We have the power to send our own messages, without a company or a state censoring them. This is the future we want. A future where we control our own data, our own finances, our own communication. A future where we are free to make our own decisions. https://i.nostr.build/1B4qjSIFRcRz0ZrU.jpg We are the #Cypherpunks, we are the rebels of the digital world. We will not give up, we will not surrender. We will keep fighting, for our freedom, for our privacy. So let's march forward, let's demand our rights. Let's reclaim our privacy. Let's control our finances ourselves. Let's control our communication ourselves. We have the power, we have the technology. We have Bitcoin, we have Nostr. We have the future. Let's use it."

I’ve been listening to you on a variety of platforms for some time now. You’ve always been a leader in this space, but listening to this discussion…you’ve moved to next level eloquence. Your descriptions of Nostr and ecash, your explanation of why opensats matters, even how you handled the @jack discussion…you’ve leveled up. Only way to say it. Hopefully this comes across as neither obsequious nor paternal. It’s just how I see it.
