ETH ETF flows since launch.
mETHeads are coping so hard right now, and it’s only going to get worse when it does three fifths of fuckall during the next bull run.
There can only be one; mETH ain’t it. https://i.nostr.build/2Sg4vikcWidaFp81.jpg
I think you’ll find the “few elites” get to decide because they’re the ones planning the event using money that Jack donates to fund it - why should there be “democracy” involved in that? Democracy could just as easily have Boaty McBoatfaced the process and suggested the next one be held in Gaza
Melbourne has had 6-7 days over 20 in the last 3 weeks, most mild winter I can remember and complete opposite of the last two which were terrible and proper long. We had a winter storm on Melbourne Cup day 2 years ago
Australia could be either the best or worst choice for the next Nostr unconference.
We have DigitalID rolling out by the end of this year. We also have an mis- & disinformation bill in parliament that will roll out within the next year which seeks to give our Ministry of Truth the ability to remove content from the internet if it could result in “harm”, and “harm” is so broadly defined (pic 1) that it’s going to give them free reign to censor anything and everything.
The MoT run by eKaren (an American woman who is 100% a CIA asset) has been tasked by parliament to develop a roadmap toward social media identity verification and have it implemented by August 2025 (pic 2).
This is now being publicly pushed as FoR dA cHILdReN after eKaren censored videos of a Bishop being stabbed by an immigrant, ordered Xitter to take them down GLOBALLY and then lost a court battle because they didn’t have that authority - they’re shoring up the law so the courts won’t have any choice but to allow them do whatever they want, and they can identify anyone who posts wrongthink.
By the time the next unconference rolls around it’s likely #AUStriches will be fully KYCed for all other social media.
So obviously we need #nostr, and interest here could be massive - possibly the first version of the event to break out beyond our existing sphere.
However, whilst the odds are low, they’re non-zero that the Gov will fuck this up. Denying visas is their most likely course of action (if any) - they’ve done this heaps of times for politically unfavoured individuals.
I don’t think they’ll gulag Nostr CEOs next year, odds of that are very low, but I don’t know they won’t either. More likely go after relay operators.
But this is probably the last chance to do it in Aus. Go out 12 months beyond these laws rolling out and I reckon then it would be too uncomfortable and the Gov would be more ready to come down on this.
I reckon it’s now or never. https://i.nostr.build/D3SzkllYEPs9Q19V.jpghttps://i.nostr.build/c7CrdluD9HCNQAY4.jpg
Yep, and Nostr could take off here because of the crackdowns.
But people need to bear in mind this isn’t the US; we don’t have constitutionally protected free speech, we’re a developed prison colony which LARPs about being laidback and lucky when in reality we’re Canada with nicer weather.
Apps can be built with Nostrocket so teams can easily be geographically distributed and there’s no centralised point for any government to go after.
Arresting CEOs isn’t the big problem though - governments of “liberal democracies” trying to censor speech is, and for that there is absolutely nothing better than #Nostr
“When the power goes out..”
Bitch if your area loses electricity, you’ve got bigger problems than not being able to access your savings (which you still could anyway). Our entire modern existence depends on electricity, 95% of people are unprepared to deal with this situation so you’re looking at social breakdown in days. All banks are offline so cash will run out fast, shops will be stripped bear and can’t transact, no medicines, no food warehousing, supply chains on the brink etc.
“When we get quantum computing..”
Bitch IF we get quantum computing the entire fucking internet is broken. Bitcoin will be the first major system to handle it and upgrade to post quantum. Your bank is gonna take months to fix it, and everything else months to years.
These are the most common I see on Xitter nowadays and all they show is the persons complete inability to think through a cascading failure scenario and assign probabilities.
The latter point was hammered home for me during Covid where people were genuinely concerned over something that statistically had less odds of killing them than driving. They never thought to freak out about the possibility of dying when they got in their car but they did over a virus because they couldn’t grasp the probability of different events and were led solely by emotions.
This👇 is what Western Liberal Democracy where no-one has skin in the game, leads to.
Too many think they can just parasite off the productive class who make society actually function and demand the world run on their vibes by empowering people who they like to listen to.
But that is not how the real world works. No-one is going to like the wake up call but it’s coming sooner or later, best be sure you’re not caught up in the crossfire. https://i.nostr.build/Fu5obDYiA5LmQL1p.jpgnostr:note1xfkvnsfzn4z3tezdrefvx27gd8p05zdudlzrfrp8qxu8dqw508dqs9pk68
Nostrocket is one of the most important projects happening in #Bitcoin and #Nostr
The ability to coordinate outside of State organs will lead to a new wave of cypherpunk technology.
This could become the YC of the sovereign individual/network state territory and take the next generation of capital in a WHOLE different direction than what Silicon Valley VC has done.

I agree but my problem is even if Vance had his way and the cat ladies were ejected, give it 50 years and they’ll be back in charge.
Democracy is the vehicle that enables socialism. The European monarchs weren’t out there redistributing people’s wealth to others in the societies they ruled over, they extracted wealth for their own extravagance and war, but they had to have skin in the game in that system too for their heirs.
Anyone in Bitcoin knows it’s a lot easier to cut off one head (of a bad Monarch) than take on a hydra (democracy/oligarchy). Yet whenever I say something like this the statism will shine through from plenty of Bitcoiners who can only conceive of reforming this system with no understanding that it’s always going to revert to the same.
Rabble will always believe that centralised authorities are needed to protect people from the bad that happens in the world, and no amount of hypotheticals or real world case studies will convince someone like him otherwise.
The challenge and tension comes because individualists understand that perspective, but the collectivists can never understand the perspective in reverse.
IDF spokesman announces they launched a preemptive strike on targets in Lebanon.
The video statement is in English because all the psychotic nation of Israel is doing is trying to garner Western support internationally for them to continue their lunacy and rope the US in to go fight their enemies for them.
WWI was fought so the Zionists could get the Balfour Declaration and eliminate the monarchies of Europe. WWII was fought so the Germans couldn’t have a European homeland without their influence and control over the money, and now they want to start WWIII because now that they got their internationally recognised State, they want more Lebensraum. https://v.nostr.build/I5TIrObWcucgo1z1.mp4
The list of things #AUStriches can do is much shorter than the list of things we cannot.
I had to pay $450 this week to replace window tint on my car because it was measured at 3% too dark for the State road regulations..

The US ambassadorship to Canada sold for just a few million $$
The fiat political system of liberal democracy is beyond farcical. Not merely that such an office is for sale, but the idea that ambassador’s are appointed despite having ZERO knowledge of the country they’ll be facilitating diplomatic relations with.
There is no reform option any more. Burn it all down so we can build something new in its place. https://v.nostr.build/8QXKd1ZcP3sEkpw2.mp4nostr:note1anehttqpukh05nky0var5zlnmtecfrdrzf5x9kzenmlveylyatks05jw6q

about the same thing which is clearly wrong*

Me: goes back to #nostr
Reminds me of former Australian (a five eyes country) Attorney General trying to explain what metadata is when the gov mandated telcos retain it.
He had NFI but yeah, Govs will kill you over it

I wish we didn’t have to care but Australia is a US vassal state, to some degree who is in the White House is more impactful than who has the keys to Kirribilli House.
Both of them are going to print money and that impacts the world. They’ll each have different proxy war preferences but Aus is on the hook regardless.
If like me you believe the West is headed to war in the coming years then the best outcome for #AUStriches is US states seceding and a US Civil War. End this global empire nonsense and stop bombing brown people to keep the oil trade denominated in USD, go smash up your own system and let the world out from under the yoke.
@balajis Network State which is inspired by The Sovereign Individual is being called “Tech Fascism” by leftists who can’t stomach the idea that people might want to get off their plantation and stop funding their collectivist dystopia. https://i.nostr.build/aZ6PATbVyxh24bRi.jpg
1 month verdict on the Instax Mini Evo
It’s a great concept, enjoyable and fun, but the quality is rather lacking as a camera.
Sensor is equivalent to something you’d have seen in early digital cameras 20 years ago. You’ll need to line up shots really well and don’t bother with moving subjects. Fuji should really have packed better gear into this thing for the size of it.
That said, the physical prints are really cool. We’ve taken it to parties, dinner with friends, our roadtrip, and I’ve used it around the house and the collection of images on there looks nothing like my phone camera roll. We’ve got both an album and some little stands displaying the best photos on a shelf.
And people really love when you hand them a little physical picture too - I can’t think of a better $1 gift in 2024 than a printed pic.
More time needed playing with filters and also trying edits from phone before I can give it a full review but so far I’d say it’s a nice toy that other people around you will enjoy as much as you, and you’ll find yourself taking photos of things with this that you likely otherwise wouldn’t with your phone or a DSLR. nostr:note136e8css9r8yxfd3680lm2wpm9zx8gz3mz83dnww3p23pq75wq9dqu0x2m6
