 Is this the real Robert Reich?

Because regardless of whether one agrees or disagrees with his politics, he is rather different than the typical Nostr demographic and that's quite bullish for Nostr.

 I would LOVE to listen to a conversation between you two. 
 i'm glad he's here and i'll treat him like every other person https://m.primal.net/LxKO.mp4  
 Either way, nothing stops the nostrain. 
 This is most likely coming from activity pub and not from nostr. I think @Alex Gleason 🐍🚬 made a bridge from there to here. 
 Correct 
 Do they see nostr? Cause it seems like one way interaction to me, or maybe that’s just the culture over der https://i.nostr.build/7cC1o1FpiBo1TgKL.jpg  
 I don’t know. I don’t spend that much time in fediverse. 
 This ⬆️ 
 I think trump being in the WH could drive many to nostr as they start their own resist movement again. Freedom tools become more appealing when you arent the one in power 
 Yes, I've been telling lots of people on Twitter about Nostr this week. 
 Show them the tools they have to choose to use them.

 
 I see an activity pub icon there, what’s that mean exactly?? He posts to mastodon or something & it gets bridged to nostr somehow?? 
 Yes. 
 Walk over the bridge to nostr then blow the bridge up 😂😂 
 He’s on Mastodon and bridged with Activity Pub. 
 Does activity pub auto post here or is he choosing to share here? I wonder! 
 I believe it auto posts and that it can be a two way connection. 
 It's automatic: https://mostr.pub/ 
 Some Nostr clients show if a post of coming from an ActivityPub account. This is what I see on Damus. https://image.nostr.build/74442c9709aed1626523812d9417162903d913309db4df12ce30e8153b7eb9c8.jpg  
 I think he's on Mastodon and getting federated in (rather than being on nostr directly)

Like half the people I follow on nostr aren't on nostr 
 There's no way. Got to be at least 5'5" for the Nostr ride  
 If it is him, he’s not yet mastered the platform. Of course, neither have I. 
 I wondered that as well.  I remember him from the Clinton administration, I believe.  Rush Limbaugh (my hero) mentioned him often. 
 If the US government attempts to purchase 1m BTC over 5 years they will drive the price so high they won’t ever be able to obtain their goal. Without confiscation or mining I don’t think they can reach this metric. Especially when other nation states jump in. Fiat is dead. 
 Read some of his other posts, he's fear mongering about the Trump win. Pure fiction.
