I am on a mission to get everyone here to own at least 1 share in $MSTR 😂


Hey, Fren nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft,

Thank you.🙏🏻😄

You are one of the most encouraging people I know, and I want you to know how much I appreciate that!🫂😆👍

God willing, if I ever make it to a nostr conference, I will be looking for you, as I would consider it a privilege and an honor to meet you in person.💯


Thank you, that’s incredibly thoughtful. 🫂


Fr though it’s been wild


Así es 🤘🏻


You've always been that way in the last year or so I've hung around here.😃

I've got too much going on in my life ATM, but one of these days I want to try my hand at whipping up a fairly simple nostr app.

My granddaughter is in her junior year studying computer science, and I'm hoping to persuade her to get into nostr development as well.😆

Please keep doing what you do, and thanks again, and may Jesus/God bless you in all your work!🙏🏻💯🫂💜💖😆👍

Bitcoiners often say that bear markets are for builders. And they're right. Bear markets, when no one is paying attention to Bitcoin, is the perfect time to build the tools that will be required to onboard the hundreds of thousands that will flock to Bitcoin once the new bull market arrives.

It just dawned on me that we're in an information bear market. In between censorship events. Now is the time to build the tools and onboard millions of people to un-censorable social media.

---
## The COVID pandemic was an information bull market

March 2020. That is when we needed information the most. Governments knew it and they acted quickly to make sure that we only saw the information they wanted us to see.

Trust the experts, they said. And simultaneously they made sure that we could only listen to the experts who happened to agree with the government. The other experts, the ones who had opinions that did not align with the government were ruthlessly silenced. Their social media accounts closed and their medical licenses threaten or taken away.

1984 had arrived and the White House had become of Ministry of Truth, requesting social media companies to delete posts; even those containing stories of true vaccine side effects, because they could lead to vaccine hesitancy.

Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube all complied with the White House, FBI and CDC and censored any expert who could lead people to think differently.

The COVID pandemic was an information bull market and the Ministry of Truth won. It was able to control the message and suppress any dissenting opinion.

Just two examples of experts silenced:

Dr. Malone was the first doctor to publish papers describing mRNA as a potential way to signal the body to produce a target protein (e.g., vaccine) and Nature described his work as a landmark experiment. His research in mRNA didn't stop there and he did additional contributions to the new medical technology.

Dr. Peter McCullough is a leading internist, cardiologist and epidemiologist with 1,000 publications and 685 citations in the National Library of Medicine.

And it was not only experts. During the pandemic, saying that the COVID virus was created in the Chinese lab in Wuhan was sufficient to get your social media account closed. Now, the official position of the US government is that the virus most likely came from the Chinese lab in Wuhan.

## Getting ready for the next information war

Governments, social media giants, and the dictator wannabes at the World Economic Forum (WEF) are preparing for the next information war.

### Google
Google has updated its definition of sensitive event. During sensitive events, they give themselves permission to do whatever they want to protect the "ground truth".

> A "Sensitive Event" is an unforeseen event or development that creates significant risk to Google's ability to provide high quality, relevant information and ground truth, and reduce insensitive or exploitative content in prominent and monetized features. During a Sensitive Event, we may take a variety of actions to address these risks.

And give you an example of what you can NOT do:

> Claims that victims from certain countries were responsible or deserving of a global public health crisis.

In other words, if the Chinese researchers in the Wuhan contracted COVID, then you can't blame them for making the virus.

### WHO Pandemic Treaty

The WEF is supporting the WHO in the creation of a world pandemic treaty that would "coordinate" the response across countries.

## Decentralized media will save the day
You can't have free speech on a platform controlled by a person (Elon Musk and Twitter)
 or a company (Google and YouTube). They will always have the option to block, censor and diminish the reach of certain opinions.

The Ministry of Truth can always threaten the business with action by the Ministry of Love and force these companies to comply.

We need decentralized social media that can't be censored. We need it to be relevant. We need experts to embrace this decentralized social media and onboard as many people as possible so that when the next information war comes, we can have access to all points of view.

We need to focus on Nostr. Put all our content there. Make it as relevant as possible. Jack Dorsey said it best in the video linked below. Watch it. Listen to what he says. And act accordingly.

Nostr only!

Now is the time to build information tools

Bear markets are for builders. We're in an informational bear market. Now it's the time to build the tools to help us fight censorship. They need to be ready and available to the masses before the next pandemic.

That’d would be amazing. I would love to see your granddaughter make something.

If she ever does, let me know!


Thank you, I sure will!😃🚀🎇👍

It seems like the premium should breakaway and start accelerating 😂


Happy to hear this put in this way. I'll be honest, when I first joined nostr over a year ago, I felt like I was burdening the development by posting, so I let it be for a while. I regret that now seeing this. Not a developer, but will do my best to make nostr stronger.

nostr:note1stq57dvrl822d4t707tnj9zmhlchjzjpech6qzxem5dff5lmecjqhwh7tx


Thank you for saying this. I needed it. In the past, I felt like I was in the way a little.


Yes 🙌 It's about 1 year to the day since I completely deleted my Twitter account. Nostr only 💜🫡

more creators should jump in the nostr train! so far tech enthusiasts are the main audience, and that soon will change


That's why I'm doing tutorials 😅


Stellar ✨


Hey


Im total old lady #pleb who loves a simple smart UI yet cant write a piece of code
Also not interested in writing one piece of code
and I LOVE nostr!

#shoutout to all of you and all my people who run #relays up in this bitch!


Thanks for doing what you do and allowing us to put time and energy here! 👥


That's absolutely true Pablo and it's also true, that we don't need to be a developers to develop on nostr with the rise of an AI the models are understanding nostr more and more and can help people build something that was previously unimaginable to them.

Thank you to all serious nostr devs who let AI learn from their work, from your work.
I can't even imagine what kind of ideas will AGI have for The Nostr 🚀👨🏼🎤


:thumbs-up:

Also I wish more developers would explain their shit in layman's terms because there are no coders on Nostr.


Non* coders


That may be true, but I WANT to give more to Nostr. I feel that I get a lot from it and it’s an increasing preoccupation of mine to work out how to contribute something original back…


…and Zaps⚡

I am very new on this. Is there a guide on how I can get "zapped"?


that's why i left twitter... not worth my attention, time and energy....


just zapped you


wow hahaha 😆 thank you so much!!

This is the way. Even for total retards. I am living proof.

I think I would prefer if more people were not devs.


We do exist

Great post 👍


that's why i spin hot wax on zap.stream


Big fact.
I haven’t developed anything, but I still put positive energy into promoting the the protocol.  Educating is also another ig thing.


Then, I’ll keep shitposting every now and then


I agree. I’ve been saying this to all my friends. Nostr just needs users and content. Hence why I’m posting about birds and Roman history 😂

Why not just buy more bitcoin?


I think life is more fun when you have some skin in the game for what Saylor does with the company. If you don’t think it would be fun, then I wouldn’t recommend it.


I have a retirement account that I buy MSTR with. Maybe one day I'll just cash it out and eat the penalty.


you can get funds out without the penalty with 72t distributions

https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/substantially-equal-periodic-payments

https://calculators.ssnc.cloud/Fidelity/c72t


I agree. I own a piece of Saylor's action, and it is fun to feel like a boss.


Imagine if you owned 1% of all MSTR shares. He’d be buying you dozens of Bitcoin per quarter 😂


How many shares would you have to own to have 1%?


Yikes. You could own a lot of bitcoin with over $150mm


Sure, but what if that was only 20% of that person’s portfolio? That’s why it’s interesting—even at a much smaller scale a lot of Bitcoin is being purchased by the company.

Trust me, he's right.  I'm super important around here, and I don't do shit.


Nice. But whats a good starting point for a non developer to start to understand the tech behind nostr?
