GM,

I’ve decided to sell the domain nostr.international

I don’t have enough time to pursue my goals for it and would like to see someone else put it to good use.

If you’re interested or know someone who might be, please DM me. Thanks.

To Nostropolis & Beyond! with BitKarrot • Bitcoin Audible w/ Guy Swann #[2]

I recently had an awesome two-hour marathon chat about P2P social media with BitKarrot #[3] from the #[4]. We chatted about the challenges and future of decentralized social media, touched on other developments in the space, and sprinkling in some extra chaos and uncertainty on the future of AI.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/zfyjdn/everyone_responsible_for_the_confusion_between/

Everyone responsible for the confusion between Bitcoin and crypto should read this
Bitcoin Ekasi is a bitcoin circular economy in South Africa. It is one of dozens of bitcoin circular economies around the world inspiring grassroots activities driving the adoption of bitcoin in Asia, Africa, Latin America.

The success of Bitcoin Ekasi is directly responsible for South Africa's largest supermarket chain Pick n Pay integrating bitcoin payments throughout the country.

This is a tweet from Bitcoin Ekasi today,

Here's the reality:

Today I attended the opening of a new Bitcoin education center in Kumasi, Ghana, in rural Africa.

The village chief spoke during the formalities and he expressed some unexpected skepticism towards the opening of the new center.

He said, and I'm paraphrasing:

"Bitcoin can be good, but it can be dangerous. Bitcoin can be a scam. A business collapsed and people lost millions of dollars. I am not sure you should teach our children about Bitcoin here."

Of course, the basics of Bitcoin to be taught at this center has nothing to do with the FTX casino and its crypto delinquency.

But this is the reality of its after effects.

This is the unseen and largely unrecognized effect of endless tokens riding on Bitcoin's coattails.

I challenge anyone who argues against Bitcoin Maximalism to step outside their techno bubble.

Step outside that place where a small minority of earth's people live, with a skill that takes years to acquire under the best of circumstances, which enables nuanced differentiation.

Take a trip down to ground level, come see what's being built, and spend time to understand it.

And then tell me Bitcoin Maximalism doesn't make sense.

I am waiting.

The proliferation of endless centralized premine, ICO shitcoins printed out of thin air by silicon valley start ups hiding behind bitcoin to escape from silicon valley regulations and those who support and enable shitcoin casinos are contributing to the confusion. The normalizing of affinity scam marketing and exploitation by companies and VC behind shitcoins is a scourge on bitcoin.

There's no company behind bitcoin. No foundation, premine, ICO, VC, license, trademarks, not even an "official" website, code repo or even a formal specification. There are only bitcoiners. If you think bitcoiners who call out and fight back against marketing of scams in the name of bitcoin are toxic, ask yourself what does that say about you?

When you think about bitcoin, think about this message from Hal Finney,

“The computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them. Unlike the world of today, where people are more or less at the mercy of credit agencies, large corporations, and governments.

Naturally, in today's society, with power allocated so disproportionately, such ideas are a threat to large organizations. Balancing power would mean a net loss of power for them. So no institution is going to pick up and champion these ideas.

It's going to have to be a grass-roots activity, one in which individuals first learn of how much power they can have, and then demand it.”

― Hal Finney, The Cypherpunks Mailing List (1992)

Bitcoin is a human project built and shaped by people like you and me. Bitcoin's success originates from grassroots activities like Bitcoin Ekasi empowering people and communities who never had access to the global economy until now. Even if you are not someone who is positively making a difference to bitcoin, at least you can try not to be disruptive to people who are the real heroes of this movement.

Yeah I know, that’s deliberate though, I wanted to keep the website simple and compact but still use some amazing Nostr art. I’ll link the banner to the image on nostrland.com so people can see it in its full splendor because it really is magnificent.

**Lightning is the hidden killer feature of Nostr**

Yes, being censorship resistant and decentralized are both incredibly important, but most people won't realize why those two aspects are needed and important until it's too late. That's why I keep saying that the Bitcoin Lightning network and how it's tightly integrated into various aspects of Nostr are *the* hidden killer features. It's a way to micro-dose orange pill users onto Bitcoin in a friction-less and stress free, and fun manner.

I've had dozens of Nostr Plebs customers reach out to me over the past 5 weeks and tell me that they've never used Lightning, that they've never downloaded a Lightning wallet, or that they've had a Lightning node, but never opened channels. These Nostriches are now setting up their nodes, they're opening channels, and they're sending sats from their Lightning wallets to strangers around the globe - in seconds, with minimal fees, and no third parties are involved!

Keep the Lightning "Tips" are "Zaps" flowing. It's a great way to on-board new users. Even if it's just a few sats, it's always appreciated and always welcomed. It brings smiles to the faces of plenty of Nostriches.


Check again, he’s on there already ;)

**Newly Hatched Bitcoin Nostrich** 🐣

*Lyn Alden* is now on #Nostr 🧡 You can find her here: #[2]

Go follow her now and check my ‘Following/Follows’ list to find other well-known Bitcoiners. I update the list regularly, so be sure to follow my account as well.


Yeah true, although I think that about pretty much everything #[3] publishes, haha. Some of the very best content out there.


Amazing work, congrats! 🥳


Well said! 🧡


This is great. Nostr is for everyone. The more the merrier. Plus they'll get to see Bitcoin's usage and how tightly it it integrated to clients and relays. A little orange pilling around every corner.


Exactly, everyone remains entirely free to not use these badges or to use them in addition to other ones. For example, I registered a #nostrplebs identifier because I find it to be a very useful and reliable tool for finding and connection with other Bitcoiners and it inspired me to offer additional ones that serve a similar but slightly different purpose. They’re complimentary in the same way that the badges I’m offering are complimentary to the upcoming orange check feature in Damus, to offer another example.


Because fiatjaf released nostr as open source software individuals around the world are able to build and iterate on the protocol without permission.

Open source software is viral in nature. It spreads and grows without a company or individual controlling it. With a project like nostr still in its infancy it is amazing to watch the power of open source collaboration in action.

People love to argue about which open source license is best. Fiatjaf’s license is two words: “Public domain.”


I’m glad it was helpful :)


Connect da plebs! #Bitcoinnostr


Glad you found it helpful 👍


If you're new to Nostr and you need more #Bitcoin in your feed, then you'll want to check out this profile and look at the profile's Following/Follows list. Think of this as like a quick and dirty way to jump-start your Nostr experience. Need even more signal? Check out #Plebchain. #[1]


Hi Derek,
You can sort of do this already by going through the ‘Following’ lists of #plebchain participants. It’s a slightly cumbersome but effective workaround. Thanks for your continued efforts with the plebchain, really great initiative!
