 Are there any new or  interesting talking points in bitcoin right now?

What’s got you fired up or curious? 
 Alby hub is bomb 
 You digging it?

 Zapped from my one tap zaps connected to Alby Hub 🫡 
 Ecash and Nostr, tbh. Wallets and community combined. Look someone up and post them rather than ask for an address or invoice. 
 look someone up and *pay them 
 Yup, just posted similar thoughts two seconds ago. I am currently building an ecash wallet where everything is stored as #nostr events.  
 Unstoppable micro thank yous and so much more. 
 The only bitcoin stuff that I still pay attention to now is macro from  Lyn Alden. I pay attention to ecash and very interested in how that might change the payments game. 

By far, the most interesting thing is how #nostr could evolve alongside bitcoin into a new infrastructure.  
 Privacy and the lack of. What's happening with #FreeSamourai case 
 How my nostr profile is the easiest way to accept lightning payments online currently. 
 I'm curious with Mint federations. I wonder if it's hard to set up.🤔

Can't wait for the @BTCsessions tutorial. 😅 
 Anything that isn’t price related… 
 Running a self-perpetuating property management/apartment rental business on Bitcoin!!! 
 all the work on Nostr that sounds like it's going to take on Teams, Workday, Jira and generally make all my least favorite things irrelevant forever 
 Client side scanning will kill bitcoin privacy.  People aren't aware this is happening.

 Nothing really new, but what I can't wrap my head around is why many of my friends will say how much they distrust our government (politics), while at the same time, they dont seem to have the understanding or be wiilling to push back of the current financial system (the fed).  
 Testnet4, which makes it easier to work on taproot related things. https://github.com/testnet4/awesome-testnet4  
 I still got a lot of troubleshooting ahead, got to start truck driving to financially survive/ fund this idea into reality but I'm working on nostr layer 2. Hoping to go public with it in 3 to 6 months.
