Being able to navigate the autists and normies both is a genuine skill which will only become more valuable as more Zoomers come of age. There are a lot more in that generation with weak social skills who don’t get it and/or don’t care but social norms aren’t going away - translators will be valued, educators who can help the autists adapt even moreso.

The only thing we really use the moon for in the West is Easter and in the East they use it for their New Year. It seems we largely stopped doing this when Nation States wanted everything standardised; difficult to centrally plan things when every town is using a different clock and calendar.

You’re absolutely right to point to the free money systems as being the great wealth drivers of that period.

I think the gold standard does deserve credit though. If you look at the places that stuck to silver standard - China, India and Mexico - they all lagged behind in the early 21st century because of Silver.

You can go further and look at nations like Vietnam who couldn’t even manage to get up to a silver standard and were largely on copper and zinc coinage - they stayed even poorer.

Obviously there are political factors involved that overlay this such as colonialism and the flows of metals that induced, but being on the hardest money did correlate with wealth whether that was the US or Argentina or Europe.

The supercharger was not having central banks leeching that wealth off. I watched a Mises.org video recently about money in the US during the Civil War and the same hyperinflation bullshit went down once both sides needed to fund the war where previously it was all private money, quite widely accepted, and not inflationary.

I’ve been meaning to read the papers from the Bank of England whose WWI bond uptake was 1/3 of what was available so they fudged it and had the Chief Cashier and his Deputy buy it and park it on their Balance Sheet. Unbelievable the shit bankers will pull whenever they get a chance..

Who is their protection racket if not the United States of America who will go to war with anyone who wants to sell oil in anything other than United States Dollars over which the United States of America has a monopoly?


Yes that’s one example; with an abundance of electricity much more R&D would have gone into both storage and transmission. And these things tend to have a compounding effect, the scientists working on this in the 70s would have taught those in the 80s who would have worked on improvements and taught those in the 90s etc - the improvements would have compounded over time instead we had very little R&D in that space, the same as there’s been very little in nuclear as there has been a dearth of expertise.

So better battery tech would have been expected, but likely also better ways of transmitting that electricity (I’m thinking of things like Tesla built way back when) such that it wouldn’t have had to be limited to wired.

But also, it’s possible they’d have been able to use that abundant electricity for other fuel sources ala hydrogen which is today very inefficient, but possibly with 5 decades of development behind it could have been drastically improved if it could have been easily made all along.

These are the tradeoffs people don’t seem to think much about - the opportunity costs of 50 years of the petrodollar and restricting nuclear power.


My great hope for Bitcoin (outside of the pure monetary fidelity it can provide) is that it leads to a revolution in nuclear technology adoption.

You could have a sovereign city with nuclear reactors and baseline Bitcoin mining on it - nation states won’t make much sense in that world which goes hand-in-hand with killing off fiat.


True it’s not used for power generation, but the largest use of oil is for fuelling transportation.

You don’t think we’d have developed/advanced technologies to make use of abundant electrical energy in that area if we’d had nuclear everywhere for the past 5 decades?

No mate, this is rudimentary assumptions of #Bitcoin eating global money.

It won’t be achieved linearly because of supply/demand. There’s gonna be spikes like people have never seen which will drive FOMO like you’ve never seen and the HODLers will HODL like you’ve never seen.

Most coins aren’t liquid, tranches will become liquid at varying prices depending on what plebs hold and have set as an exit. Entirely possible that by then there are giant fiat mops absorbing every sold coin on the market.

Game theory of Bitcoin price is difficult because we’ve never seen this dynamic before!

Looking 10-20 years in the future as fiat collapses, these seem inevitable to me.

Correct. Without the coercive power to centralise money, and with no means to seize it as with physical assets regardless of how many armed goons they have, the State as we know it will be forced to drastically change.

I don’t believe it will wither away ala the Marxist utopia, but the terms of its existence and people’s interaction with it will look nothing like what we have today.


Defund the war machine - #Bitcoin https://i.nostr.build/9JXX.jpg


Great question!  They are actually two sparate things that happened in 1994.  The thing that ties the web together is the URL/URI spec.  Look how it changed from June 1994 to December 1994.  One important word, the "U".  It changed from universal to uniform.  Tim wanted a web that was universal that encompassed http and all other protocols.  The IETF wanted a web that scaled to billions of people  The IETF won, and they were correct.  The web became capable of carrying the commerce of the world, without the need for scaling conferences.  PS that's the thing nostr would benefit from now.

At the same time it was Marc Andreessen who made Mosaic, the grand father of Netscape, Internet Explorer and Firefox (in fact Mozilla = mosaic killer, but they didnt do it).  He was the one that added multi media to the web.  But he also took out the editor functionality.  Tim pleaded with him to keep the browser as an editor, but he said it was too hard.  Tim mused that it couldnt have been that hard, because his original browser was also an editor.  So the browser became an instrument for reading, and writing or editing when to the server.

These two forces together, marked a shift from a user centric vision of a read write web, to a server centric vision of a scalable web where the writing happens server side.

What is needed is a scalable web, where users control their identity, where users have the ability to both read and write, and the server plays less of a role.  If nostr can scale to millions or billions of people, and also allow people to own their own identity, that will complete the vision of both sides, but there is still some work to do, to get there.


There isnt a great deal out there on the future of nation state’s specifically relating to Bitcoin that i know of.

You can read ‘The Sovereign Individual’ which was absolutely prophetic and ahead of its time in 1997, the authors envision a world with something like Bitcoin in it and understood the implications but it’s mostly talking about a world like we have today.

Balaji has a book called ‘The Network State’ which is ok and hits some of the right themes but misses others.

‘The Machinery of Freedom’ isn’t about Bitcoin but it’s an in-depth view of what a stateless society at scale might look like.

nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe has spoken a bit about it in some pods I’ve heard, as has nostr:npub15vzuezfxscdamew8rwakl5u5hdxw5mh47huxgq4jf879e6cvugsqjck4um, but neither to my knowledge have fully fleshed out the game theory and the push-and-pull dynamics that might/will play out.

Short term it is better to dollarise, medium to long term they’ve just hitched their lifeboat to the titanic.

Yes but countries don’t have all their reserves in USD, they’re invested to different degrees.

And with alternatives there outside of USD, there should be an ability for countries to protect their people but that’s “in theory”, when the US war machine is your defense umbrella that becomes a very muddy picture hence why I say countries will dollarise - they’ll be forced at the barrel of uncle Sam’s gun.


Well the debt is never actually going to be paid back (see graphic below) so let’s get that straight.

But their tactic will be twofold:

1) debase the shit out of the dollar, printing to cover as much as they can to buy time

2) get as many people in as many countries to dollarise as they can - essentially they’ll help other fiat currencies blow up and fall back to the USD as Argentina are about to do. For all intents and purposes the US empire is about to grow by 47 million people when that happens which dilutes the inflationary effect across more people

BRICS will essentially become the anti-USD alliance, Gold will be the neutral asset between them to begin but #Bitcoin will also sit between them and be the one to actually drink the milkshake https://i.nostr.build/QXM8.jpg


To be fair a lot of gay people did just want the former but their activist groups were co-opted by radicals with a vested interest to push the next boundary.

Thats the unfortunate part in this - there will be no delineation when the pendulum swings back, the right will just bulldoze all and sundry.


Politics and culture is cyclical. When enough people are fed up with the progressive agenda that doesn’t know when to stop and take a breath, and their economic policies drive people into destitution, there is going to be a big swing back to the right and a lot of the progressive gains of past decades will be unwound.

This will likely include gay rights because of their attachment to the Trans/Woke stuff - it’s not just the most visible element of their ideology but in targeting children it’s the one that pisses people off the most.

I don’t agree with that happening but you’d be a fool not to see it coming and even bigger one to stand in front of that wave when the tides turn.

Unfortunately nuclear power is banned in Australia because we’re governed by retards. Our current Energy Minister attacks the opposition (who have begun supporting it after losing the last election) every time they raise it and with the ban in place we’ve got no chance here.

One of them will debank or deny withdrawal to some one or group and it will set off a social media shitstorm.

What a year. It’s not even peak 🤡🌎 yet either!


Today, I had a conversation with a friend's acquaintance who expressed a desire to "do something about social media, to create something that is ours." She was unfamiliar with Nostr and only vaguely aware of Mastodon, though she had heard of Bluesky and Threads.

She represents the ideal target audience for Nostr. Once I explained our project, her excitement was palpable. Although initially skeptical about Bitcoin, she showed interest in an economic model not reliant on advertising and was open to exploring alternative models.

Several key points emerged from our discussion. Firstly, the ease of joining and locating acquaintances on Nostr is crucial. For instance, the process of installing TestFlight, then navigating back to nos.social to click a link and install Nostr via TestFlight, proved challenging. Her attempt to Google Nostr nearly led her astray. nostr:npub1a8jzweysxa9qmtmht874736aalm0lwdsl306nrys9d05ktlrhw3qcr5pj4 i think, this underscores the need for someone with tech marketing/communications expertise to overhaul nostr.com. The current site should be repositioned as developer.nostr.com.

We must simplify the process of finding and connecting with known contacts on Nostr. It's essential to communicate the value proposition of Nostr to new users, whether they learn about it through friends or media. Our focus shouldn't be on creating more content for Bitcoin enthusiasts, as there's already a plethora of information available for those familiar with wallet operations.

Another aspect that stood out was Nostr's multi-app nature. Nostr isn't just Damus, Nos, Amethyst, or Habla.news. It's a platform where various apps can operate using the same data, contacts, and services, all under the user's control. For those with a developer mindset, the sheer breadth of projects within Nostr demonstrates the vibrancy and scale of our endeavor. Projecting this magnitude is crucial for attracting users who are deciding where to invest their time.

I believe we could benefit from explainer videos that highlight why Nostr is both important and interesting. During our conversation, I showcased various apps: Primal for a web social feed, Habla and Yakihonne for longer-form blogging, Flockstr for events, Wherostr for geolocation, and Highlighter for layering different functionalities. These examples illustrate the diversity and versatility of our platform.

I didn't delve into Nostr nests, marketplaces, Wavlake, Streamstr, and more, but it's clear there's much to explore.

This conversation has led me to believe that we should proactively share the Nostr story, positioning it as the future of social networking. This approach will also help us differentiate from platforms like Threads, Pixelfed, Mastodon, and Bluesky. While these platforms are based on open protocols, they operate as single-app, vertical silos.

Our unique offering is the unified 'login' across diverse apps, granting users not just control over their algorithms but their entire app experience. They can even use multiple apps simultaneously.

The impact of a single Thai TikTok video in attracting a Thai user community to Nostr exemplifies the power of targeted storytelling. We should harness similar strategies to broaden our reach and influence. Talking about how this is a whole new way of social, not just one app.


I didn’t specify though.. https://i.nostr.build/EvDn.jpg  nostr:note14la4kdm7vtzkqm7v0glqx6kpzljgtf6l9qq6ycdxwawj6qvxr5fqt4xe5k


No, The Reserve Bank of Australia is owned by the Australian Government. You’re taking what you know of the US Federal Reserve and applying it elsewhere.

There’s a separate discussion to be had about the legal structure of the Australian government as a corporation but your specific point is incorrect.


I’m sure climate science is totally real and not just the modern incarnation of the death cult though..

Too bad they forgot to include cloud coverage in their idiotic models and think they can model out a system that we barely even understand all the interplays of.

There’s not some correct number to kill in response to Hamas’ attack - it is however undoubtedly incorrect to be so indiscriminate that you’ve killed 6X more children in retaliation, and its undoubtedly incorrect to have racked up a 92.15% civilian death toll. This shit is just inexcusable.

Yep, this is what fascism looks like in 2023.

“Macquarie Bank recently announced it would be phasing out cash altogether in 2024, while other Big 4 banks are also offering less cash services in branches.”

Australia will be one of the few countries that adopts a CBDC willingly.

And it will work because the RBA outsourced it to the private sector and had all the major players work on different components of it. That’s how you know government is serious about making something work.

I’ll be gone before then, too many cons outweighing too few pros for me to stick around and fight. You can’t fight a battle like this with a handful of people and nowhere near enough will be willing to resist or do what’s necessary to oppose it.

Every Bitcoiner should have a plan for this and a red line of what they’re willing to deal with.


Norway, trust, freedom and CBDC

This note is a call to action.

I write it in English to make it easy for people abroad to understand what's going on here, and because the Norwegian social democracy often is referred to as an example that other countries should try to copy.

I suggest that they shouldn't belive this narrative.

Norwegian politicians repeatedly tell us that we have a trust-based society.

It isn't true.

Their interest don't align with the people.

They most likely never did.

Our politicians have always known this.

They know that if they shall succeed in being part of the ruling class, they must bribe, coerce and deceive the people.

Coercion is expensive.

Bribes are costly too.

Therefore they rely heavily on deception.

By repeatedly referring to Norway as a trust-based society, they try to appeal to our conciousness.

They want us to feel shame if we think or talk about not trusting them.

Many Norwegians feel this shame.

They shouldn't.

Instead, they should try to learn where we come from, by studying our history.

If they do, they most likely will stop being ashamed for not trusting the politicians.

On the contrary, many will take great pride in not trusting any ruler at all.

Norwegians have relied heavily on voluntary cooperation with each other.

But trust in politicians has until recently not been one of our prospensities.

In my region, Trøndelag, we originally didn't trust rulers at all.

In the Viking Age we didn't want to have kings ruling us.

Therefore we punished them harder than anyone else, typically by killing them, if they tried to place themselves above the law.

Not trusting the kings was a fundamental requirement for our ancestors if they wanted to preserve their freedom and prosperity.

Fulfilling their obligations as manifested in the law, to punish the kings ruthlessly, was of equal importance.

They knew it by heart.

Is was as true for them as the natural laws.

They knew that ignoring the truth would punish them immediately.

Unfortunately this was exactly what happened when our social structure broke down in 1050 AD.

Over time fighting for our freedom was replaced with flight from oppression.

People feared standing up for their rights.

So our ancestors instead fled the country.

For instance, the level of emmigration that occured after we got our own constitution and a semi-independence in 1814 was nothing but gargantuan.

In 1814 we had a population of about 900.000 people.

Between 1836 and 1915 an estimated 750.000 people relocated to North-America.

It's an insanely huge number.

Norway is an enormously rich country in terms of natural resources.

Still people left in droves.

It tells us everything we need to know about how little the Norwegian people trusted and appreciated the politicians.

The level of trust was probably zero.

The ones who didn't leave managed to keep some check on the politicians for a long time.

Again, numbers are informative.

In 1900 the public sector only spent an amount of money equivalent to 6% of GDP.

The reason was probably that any attempt of increasing the burdens of the common people would increase the level of emmigration.

The ruling class risked being left with nobody to slave for them if they raised taxes.

So the people paid almost no taxes at all.

Instead, the ruling class used inflation to extract wealth from the people.

When World War I broke out in 1914, the gold standard had become a trap that enabled the elite to rob workers, landowners and farmers

By increasing the money supply 300%, and then suddenly reducing it in similar magnitude, all in a short timespan of 14 years, the ruling class robbed ordinary Norwegians for most of what they owned.

Now the wealthy elite and their cynical companions - the politicians - had carte blanche.

The table was set.

The feast could finally begin.

Party time for the rich and the State.

Serfdom for the rest.

Recent events show us that not adhering to the obligation to protect our freedom has been a one-way ticket to serfdom:

- the public sector today spends almost 2/3 of onshore GDP
- in 2020 and 2021 our government locked down our nation and forced us to take vaccines, although the risk for having a serious reaction to the coronavirus was insignificant while the risk related to taking these vaccines were much greater than other vaccines
- the government forces a broad range of costly burdens on us related to its climate change policy, although  the effectiveness of these measures are dubious, to say the least.

Today our super-cynical politicians  warn us about the dangers and immorality of owning #Bitcoin      , while they at the same time present Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) as a safe alternative.

The truth is that our politicians and the special interests that support them have painted themselves into a corner.

They try to deceive us into adopting CBDC because it makes it much cheaper for them to coerce us afterwards.

The monetary system is the most powerful social network that has ever existed.

And with CBDC our hubris-infected leaders will have the most powerful political tool that has ever been available to them.

With CBDC they can surveil, block and steer our every move.

I consider CBDC to be a bigger threat to our species than the nuclear bomb.

On the other hand, I don't find it likely that many countries will be able to adopt CBDCs.

I think the project will faceplant in most countries, because people will fight tools and nails against it, as they have done in Nigeria.

However, in those countries were people are lazy and don't feel any obligation to fight for their freedom, their rulers are definetely going to use of this terrible weapon.

And their people will immediately suffer.

Immediately.

It's a 100 % certainty.

Because the politicians who get to control this terrible weapon cannot resist the temptation to make every possible use of it to increase their power.

The CBDC will be like the ring in Tolkien's the Lord of the Rings.

It will spellbound them, and produce terrible outcomes for themselves and their people.

To sum up:
Norway is not at all a trust-based country.

We don't have any alternative other than to fight for our freedom.

If we allow the ruling elite to implement CBDCs, we will experience hell on earth.

And then our only option will be to flee to another country.

I prefer staying.

And I prefer fighting.

You see, I have a deep respect for the values and the understanding that my ancestors had, especially that they knew that ignoring the truth is incredibly costly.

It's in my genes.

This is my country.

A ruling class isn't welcome here.

It never was.

We can’t maintain a society like this, it’s bleedingly obvious.

Everything is done to perpetuate big daddy government. Everyone is out to bilk the taxpayer.

People seem to think we have a magic money tree and we can’t just “tax the rich” some more as if they’re not already carrying everyone on their backs already.

The top 10% of income earners pay more than half the income tax in Australia, equivalent to 20% of all revenues - greater than all company tax which is 19% of the revenue base. One of these individuals pays the equivalent of 30 median wage earners and gets absolutely fuckall in services. And yet they can’t even get on the property ladder now - how sick is that?!

This redistribution nonsense has to end. People have to contribute and stop being handed gibs or the productive people are just gonna leave and let the remaining leftists carry the bag themselves.

Yes there were multiple proposals for where Israel could be located, I know of Uganda and Mozambique at least.

The Zionists at the time had bigger problems with Europeans than they did with Arabs and wanted their holy lands so they plumped up in Palestine.

Shows how unhinged the clowns who pull the strings at the top truly are.

And is a good example to counter those who think it’s “conspiracy theory” that secret backroom deals are being done by men in smoke filled rooms - a State appeared out of nowhere thanks to this “conspiracy theory” so how’s that going for ya?

Having recently solved the world’s Communist problem, I’ve devised a solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Israel is to be relocated. To Tasmania.

That’s right, Israel will maintain its Statehood and gain sovereignty over the entire island of Tasmania.

Israel would be 3X larger than it currently is today and this way they’re not surrounded by enemies who hate them, in fact their nearest neighbours to the North will be the former Communists of the West so they will get along like a house on fire, and being completely surrounded by water they’re safe as houses.

Palestine pre-1948 reverts to the Palestinians and they will be given statehood.

The half a million Taswegians will be allowed to relocate along with the 20 Million Aussies who don’t want to be part of New Utopia, Western nations welcoming them because A) who doesn’t love the #AUStriches and B) we just donated our whole country to solve two of the biggest problems in the world so we can all live in peace.

That’s why they always say “crypto” - in business you never refer to your opposition directly. But if you read their docs they’re much more concerned about that than Gold suddenly having a resurgence as sound money because they know they can control the flows of that.

Of all the various groups I’m part of or speak with, only #Bitcoiners are comfortable with and openly talk about their own mortality.

With low time preference and a desire to plan for the future, they all seem to have come to terms with the fact their time on earth is limited. They also know loved ones will survive them so they actively take steps to ensure they’re cared for when they’re in the grave.

You’ll find the odd individual who is comfortable talking about it, usually those who have had major health scares, but no other random group embraces it like Bitcoiners.

If you’ve ever spoken with a climate cultist you’ll find they’re the polar opposite - they’re all terrified of death. Personally I think it’s the root of their delusions, they don’t want to confront their inevitable demise and thus project with their doom mongering about the weather on to everyone else in this collectivist nonsense of “climate action” that they demand.

I’ve read Leviathan so yes I understand these points.

> This necessarily has a monopoly on force, or else it operates just like yet another gang.

This is where it falls down - that monopoly on violence will inevitably devolve into the same ‘tribal warfare’ you fear, they are no different to a gang, such is the nature of monopoly. Once the men with guns realise they’re the only men with guns in a certain area, they run roughshod. Afterall, who is there to stop them?

Now you might think it’s more civilised because we anoint a ‘President’ or ‘Prime Minister’ and they seek a “democratic mandate” but that’s just ignoring the underlying reality - they’re simply the most powerful ‘tribe’ or ‘gang’ of a given land. It’s not as if other tribes/gangs don’t exist which have their own smaller competing monopolies, the overarching nature of coercion present in these systems means they will inevitably arise - it’s the incentives inherent in the system.

Now an Anarcho-capitalist system isn’t without flaws, I’m not arguing it would be utopia. The argument is the dynamic would be different if coercion weren’t present in the system.

If your insurance provider, the entity likely to take up defense and justice (which is the primary motive of States in the first instance) has alternatives, then they have to compete.

States today don’t have to compete. They just put a gun to your head and extract. You say it’s not violent - well try not paying your taxes, or not paying court mandated child support, or opposing your military and then tell me they’re not violent.

Removing coercion from the equation and shifting towards voluntary interaction is possible. We manage to arbitrate contracts outside the State all the time because people long ago realised it’s mutually beneficial to cooperate inside an agreeable framework than to subjugate themselves to an entity with monopoly over a space.

The State is not the best form of structuring society, they’d just have you believe that because it’s in their interests to do so.

CBDCs enable chain of custody in a way that isn’t possible today. Every CBDcuckbuck in the system can be tracked end-to-end and if they’re to block on/off ramps, then yeah it is likely that companies will reject any payments where that chain is questionable, likely automatically.

I’m not saying it won’t be at all possible but rather that Bitcoin becomes a parallel system in that case where it won’t be competing to pay for power bills but it’s addressable market will still be exponentially greater than today.


You won’t be able to buy Bitcoin with digital currencies. You may still be able to use cash (so long as that’s around), or if you’re lucky you can find someone who takes gold or silver.

Most likely you’ll have to sell either goods or services to acquire Bitcoin in this future state.

This is in fact very good for Bitcoin - every transaction that people want to keep away from the eyes of the State will be on Bitcoin so demand is gonna go way up from where it is today. Sure it’s not global reserve currency, but it’s global money for the blackmarket and the blackmarket could extend to things like tradies wanting to do the equivalent of cash jobs today, meat if they want to introduce carbon credits, etc.

What if it is set in motion by another LLM though? Or a section is (say E > F > G as part of A > Z) which was external to the initial model or input?

Hahahahahahaha


If you can set an end goal for an LLM, and it has the ability to go find other agents, pay service fees as needed, chain those things together in sequence and produce the desired result - is that acting?

Your example is A > B, which is more discrete. What if it’s A > Z and it is determining the intervening steps without external input?


Yeah I’ve used it to share posts and profiles, it’s good for standalone events rather than a browsable feed which is more what I was thinking


Yours is a rather oversimplified version of anarcho-capitalism. It refers to an entirely voluntary society.

So yes, you would voluntarily choose justice systems (likely offered via insurance companies who would provide arbitration and security services), but you’d also voluntarily choose your money (legal tender disallows this) based on markets, there’d be no entity taxing you for “free” shit that governments hand out but rather there would be co-ops and other systems that you could join/opt into so you’d only pay for services you want to consume.

There wouldn’t be these arbitrary bans on things like online poker, communities could forbid it but if the market wants to provide it they will and there’s no man with a gun to take you to prison for violating a nonsense rule.

It’s more like a 180 from the world as it is now where everything is imposed upon you through multiple levels of government top-down, where you have zero choice in the matter, can’t affect those decisions increasingly as power is more distant and have no recourse to opt out.

Rules would be bottom up, localised and community oriented to match their values with an ability to opt out by moving. Higher levels of governance would exist but they’d again be fewer, voluntary and set by the market. Think of things like internet standards, humans need to cooperate so we’d still have rules like that but we’d be free to not follow any we don’t like and alternatives can emerge (no IP, legal fiction stuff blocking).

The argument that it would devolve into what we have today isn’t correct - todays borders are themselves a figment and constantly changing, look into the secessions in Oregon/Idaho for one example.

I would agree there would always be centralisation tendencies for sure, but the consolidation of power coming off that base would be much less likely. We don’t have that base though, we’re starting from the other end so it’s not a fair comparison.

Anarcho-capitalism is really the natural state of mankind, these figments we’ve created to abstract power are unnatural and that’s why they inevitably breakdown over time.

The Muslim Bitcoiners I follow on Xitter are pushing people to get on #nostr, they see the censorship more clearly than most.

Unfortunately it seems people only act once they’ve “found out”, very few seem willing to pre-emptively move across, particularly those with larger followings.

Could we have something like a Nitter.net for nostr that made browsing here easier for normies who arent on the network yet?

Many stuck with a sunk cost fallacy in Xitter. Difficult to walk away from that size audience if you’re already established.

Great opportunity for plebs to build from the ground level on #nostr. Plays into my thesis that Bitcoiners will be the new elites


You concluded that a world dominated by big governments with corporations in their pockets, effectively 50% taxation on people, and unelected international bureaucrats making decisions no-one wants, is anarcho-capitalism?

Are you serious?


Yes, I can believe it. There’s something about human nature where they’ll go along with shit way beyond what should have been their red line and only realise with hindsight that what they did was dumb.

It ties into their fear of Bitcoin - the system only works if everyone is imprisoned in it.

The black market will shift from drugs and weapons and prostitution to meat and vegetables and services, completely undermining the CBDC.

When people see their purchasing power in Bitcoin increasing whilst the bank literally steals their CBDC tokens if they accumulate too many, the flywheel effect just accelerates.

Real Estate is a shitcoin.

Just because that’s how the Boomers got rich, doesn’t mean it will work for current and future generations. In fact, it basically can’t. It needs to return to utility values because everything is so out of whack economically.

Even holding off for one more cycle and riding Bitcoin for a few years will see them far better off if they really want to buy a house. The trends in this graph are going to continue with house prices crashing against BTC until you can buy for 0.0X and eventually 0.00X.

There are 2 Billion+ houses on the planet and only 21 Million Bitcoin. They’re constantly making more of the former, and can’t make more of the latter. https://i.nostr.build/ZmAQ.jpg
