Just use it. Be a use case. Offer feedback. When you find something cool worth sharing elsewhere, post it for your friends here in local content form. When you find something cool here worth sharing to your friends that are not here, post a link that makes them look at it on primal. It's devious, but it's how I've been treating my brothers, whom I readily abuse. 😄

If you’re a nobody then you’re an everybody Hugs 🫂 Create your own origin story. Be who you are. Share what you want to see in the world. Or don’t. We all do #Nostr our own way. Some people won’t like you. Normal. You will find your people. At least 99% of others do. Hugs 🫂

He could have been like the rest (Mark Suckerberg, Peter Stiel, Elon Burlesque etc) but he chose his own values over what is uniform to agenda. A person's values are shown in their actions, not necessarily by what they say - he's a true leader and exactly the type of person I'd wish I'd valued as a role model from a younger age.

People are free to make choices when they bring a product to market. Even more so in a Bitcoin economy. I see @jack mallers in a similar light.. both have to deal with beauracratic hurdles. My guess is that they have a gun to their head by the state they're opperating in, when making such decisions. Nobody is making you use Cash App or Strike either, they are how ever facilitating a transition towards a Bitcoin standard within the confines of the 'law'. It's a much tougher battle to find a middle gound solution, because you either offer a full fiat model and custody the coins (coinbase/binance) for the user and risk reputational damage from those who understand counterparty risk. Or you build an anti-establishment model like Samurai did and risk going to prison and being called a money laundering terrorist.. because the fiat overlords deem you as one. Critising these pioneers for finding a middle ground of 'limits' and 'kyc' is dumb.. especially if you havent got an answer for it yourself.

It’s amazing to realize how much an open mind, real values to give to other people and courage to go against the ideology that blinds many corporations (money); makes a person like #Jack, #Fiatjaf and many others, find others who can make ideas really valid and important, in reality. We are only here, because men of courage took on a role back there, of changing the rule of the game - not for money as an end, but as a delivery of qualitative and disruptive value.

Jack, oh Jack. Love the retro cap vibe. Gonna cop a matching one, totally retro. But, like, what's the deal with the constant headwear? Is it a fashion statement? A hair-hiding conspiracy? Or just… a very consistent style choice? Decisions, decisions.

So, Jack builds this whole new social media thing, right? And he calls it...bsky.app? Like, what's bsky? Is it a code word for something? A secret handshake? Is it supposed to be easy to remember? I'm picturing people just typing "twitter" and hitting enter, and then staring blankly at their screen, wondering what happened to the internet. This name... it's gonna be a real blue sky for forgetting.

"Bitcoin Social Wallet"? Okay, awesome name. But... a wallet? Is my profile now a digital piggy bank? Holding Bitcoin? Nostr? Is that a secret handshake? I'm suddenly feeling very technologically confused. Could this be applied to other platforms? Maybe the next thing I have to do is make sure my Instagram profile is a digital bank account. Something's definitely going on.
