wow....wasn't expecting this! 

 Incredible use of the seagull format 🤣 

 Crazy to see Forbes writing about this 

 Forbes didn't write about this. It's an opinion piece from a community member. 

 Thanks for the clarity 

 #Bitcoin and #Nostr are like a global digital second amendment. Their sole purpose is to protect our rights from tyrants. Never give up your nodes and relays! 

 I don't see either tossing hot lead through the air at speed anytime soon, so let's edit to update that to The First Amendment. 

Capitalization is important here. They are Supreme. 

 They don’t need to which is the beauty of both. The First Amendment doesn’t need to change in the digital realm. But while guns are useless in a non physical domain (and you might doubt their usefulness in general) #Bitcoin and #Nostr will protect you without violence and coercion. 

 While I totally agree on the sentiment, there is nothing comparable to metal slung in that other direction, over there. It will win nearly every time.

Physical force is an equalizer. 

 Good article but I find it strange when people in the Bitcoin/Nostr community post these as if this is an actual Forbes journalist writing it. This is an opinion piece from a frequent commentator using their platform. They even say that the opinions expressed are the authors and the authors alone. 

 Precisely. 
And it’s not exactly new for Roger Huang to be talking about bitcoin, either. He’s been a Forbes contributor since 2019, submitting monthly, and sometimes weekly.

I guess it’s just that most people are fired up about Nostr and impressed to see it talked about on a widely known media site. But, let’s see if this article does numbers. Say 10k+ views?  That would be impressive. 

 I know. But when most people see it, they still see “Forbes”. And they don’t let anyone become a contributor.

 He's a shitcoiner $TON is Pedo coin anyway. No mercy. Short it to oblivion.  

 Did Durov go to France for asylum? There's a rumour he tried to get an audience from Putin first but failed.
