What do you think the chances are Elon integrates in Nostr? Elon did make the charge network open source. Why not make X open source? Integrate it Nostr into X and you have a payment system - boom. Why not?

I think Elon absoultely understand Bitcoin. But he's also building businesses in the fiat world - walking a VERY thin wire. Elon is not going to buy Bitcoin and build in the Bitcoin eco system - because his dream is colonizing other planets. He does need Bitcoin for this - and he knows it. He bought Twitter because the fiat world needed an outlet to be de-controlled by Government. There are still constraints. He paid what he needed to get control - it was not a financial investment for him. Let's see how this unfolds - maybe I'm wrong. I think we see Nostr integration with Twitter in the next few years as Government puts more pressure on Elon.

Elon Musk does not understand Bitcoin, several posts he’s made show a lack of fundamentals. Elon is intelligent and extremely capable of understanding Bitcoin, but Bitcoin like all technical disciplines takes time to learn and understand and he has finite bandwidth. As you say he is building cars and mars rockets. Despite his lack of understanding, Tesla still hold 9,720 BTC making them the 3rd largest holding public company. So he has a hedge against inflation. https://bitcointreasuries.com/ We all assume intelligent experts are experts in all disciplines. This is wrong and we need to stop doing this. Bill Gates is an expert on software, but doesn’t understand electric cars or Bitcoin Warren Buffet is an expert investor, but doesn’t understand Bitcoin and Elon Musk is an expert engineer, but doesn’t understand Bitcoin This is OK, we have enough experts and you don’t need to be an export to hold or spend Bitcoin.

Nah, he’s after power and influence and his recent rhetoric has been an attempt to get users back into X. When the next layer of Technocracy gets rolled out he’ll have your tweets which can then get tied to your digital ID/Social credit score, etc.

When he says "us" he means humanity. nostr:nevent1qqsd08spt48eshuv0832fefs7fu8f29hsea64w8df0z58g726phqd0qpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcpzqpxfzhdwlm3cx9l6wdzyft8w8y9gy607tqgtyfq7tekaxs7lhmxfqvzqqqqqqyx3yd2x

Consider looking at my account, please. I'm here to deliver HQ content about thing that will get you banned everywhere else. You can already find examples on my timeline. Currently I'm trying to build some audience and start writing in English exclusively on #nostr I hope you'll enjoy it, have a nice day!

Profit is good. It's a motivator to create. So profit isn't the problem. The capital market is. Right now, IPO's are used as an exit strategy only. Why? The entire point of issuing stock is to RAISE money. To build! But an IPO can cost $100m due to regulation, reporting, and insider fees. Therefore it's only feasibly used as an exit strategy. It's fucked. Going public should cost pennies, and be doable by anyone. A $5m venture startup should be able to issue stock/coin/etc to instantly raise money for their venture. No regs. The market can do its own DD. Even an average Joe's Electrician company should be able to issue $100k. Raising capital shouldn't be limited to backroom VC's or banks. It should be open and cheap. Full democracy and openness. So to me, a fully democratizing the capital market can achieve more than anything to do with open source. No matter how noble OS may be. nostr:note1670qzh20np0cc70z5njnpuncwj5t0pnm42uw6j79gw3u45rwq67q4m8036

Hey, I'm here to provide truthbombs for which you get banned from Xwitter and other platforms. NOSTR is the only place I can post about it without getting censored, but for now nobody see my posts. Could you help me? nostr:note169qj43nn075znrexp7tpz6tn2tu5yl9jug7jwr3yc6fkpd56d8psc8tghu

I'm going to provide 2000+ words og article about that things including similar topics, sources, stories and more 😎 I just need to reach reasonable amount of active followers... Anyway if you want to be sure what I'm capable of, just check for my last post on my profile, where I shared my old article on similar topics, which is crucial to understand ibogaine and every other drug/medicine/poison, how do they really work, how/why EVERY substance in fact really affect one's body etc... Literally if you understand that article, you're forever able to understand everything about pharmacology, dangers, mechanism of action of everything and all. Personally I think understanding things I wrote about in there is must-have for every person on Earth, as we all consume things and are vulnerable to big companies' propaganda. In case you'll assume it's a good quality and you want to see more on ibogaine or similar stuff, please consider re-posting and helping me reach more people. My work here will always be 100% free for all, but I really don't want to spend 30+ hours on article that won't be seen by interested people.
