I was a unique case of homeschooling because I was homeschooled through 8th grade then went made the decision to go try high school because I was worried I might be stupid compared to other kids who I knew through sports, clubs, community, etc… My parents made it clear that it was my decision to make, so I made it.

Turns out I was not, in fact, stupid relative to the other kids… I was able to skip through math classes in high school and graduated valedictorian while being a three-sport athlete all four years. I discovered that public school is absurdly easy, because everything caters to the lowest common denominator. The focus was on time spent (in your desk, doing homework, etc) vs deliverables. Put another way, it was an “hourly” mentality instead of a “salary” mentality.

That said, I had some really great science and math teachers in high school that I am still very grateful for. They were also the type of teachers who thought administrative mandates were bullshit and just wanted to focus on teaching.

Things I liked most about being homeschooled:
- I finished all my work in 2-3 hours in the morning and spent the rest of the day outside — I was outside constantly.
- I was done when I was done. There was no “homework” because it was all at home.
- I could do my work from anywhere, or work ahead a few days bitcoin if needed. There were no arbitrary constraints.
- It taught me to work on deliverables.
- I read a shitload.
- I was never uncomfortable around “adults.” They were just bigger people to me. I showed everyone respect, but I was perfectly comfortable and happy hanging out with adults even as the only kid (plus my sister).
- I got to do a bunch of random shit because I my schoolwork itself took very little time.

On the subject of random shit, one of my favorite memories is when my mom set me up with a legit blacksmith to apprentice for a day. He’s the first person who taught me about Fibonacci. Seriously brilliant and badass dude. Made a huge impression on me and I will never forget it.

I also just played in the woods constantly. Started fires, built forts, used knives and axes and guns from a young age.

In terms of things I disliked, the only real thing was the worry that I was not going to be as smart as my peers at public school. Benchmarking was hard. It’s the whole reason I decided to go to high school, only to find out that a lot of people are complete morons, with zero initiative, drive, or grit.

I also spend a day a week at a Montessori school for a year or two. That was neat. Zero “schoolwork” was done. We just built shit and cooked shit and played outside.

My parents also helped found a small charter school (about 10 kids). We would get together once a week and had a couple tutors who came in. I had an awesome Mennonite algebra tutor named Edith. We got on swell.

Anyway, highly recommend homeschooling, and will be doing it with our kid(s). There are infinitely more online resources available now than there were when my parents did it.


Any chance someone recorded the Steve Baker talk? I'd love to hear more about how that went.

It is remarkable what breakthroughs in computer science, network technologies, cryptography, economics, and energy systems have been necessary to make #Bitcoin a reality.

And we have a front row seat to marvel at it all in real time. What a time to be alive.


SEC has just granted accelerated approval for the listing and trading of options on $IBIT.

And you think they are not controlling bitcoin?

- First they created cash-settled futures (Fiat), which made it possible to create paper bitcoin.

- When they already had a huge futures market with the CME, then they gave way to ETFs to be able to control the price, ETFs are also cash settled (Fiat).

- Finally they have approved options, also not redeemed with the underlying, redeemed with Fiat.

You must understand that the three Bitcoin institutional instruments, Futures, ETFs and options all revolve around Fiat and not Bitcoin, they are all cash settled. The only one that affects Bitcoin volume are the ETFs and even then they are not redeemed on the underlying.

They are trying the same play as with gold.

The money changers, i.e. the old bankers (Rothschilds) knew that to get into power they simply had to have as much gold as possible and create the loan/interest system.

This is what they are doing now with Bitcon, taking Bitcon away from the people.

Saifedean explains very well in his book Patron Fiat that in a Bitcoin system it won't make much sense to lend Bitcoin for interest.

What can you do?

 - Never deposit Bitcoin in a bank.
 - Create circular economies, black market, grey market, counter economy.
 - Never pay taxes on Bitcoin.
 - Never give Bitcoin to a government, before they are lost.

All African Stream pages on Meta platforms have now been taken down on the instruction of the American State Department. That includes Facebook, Instagram, Threads and WhatsApp.

We are now at a crucial inflection point in modern African history where once again, white men are showing up attempting to physically wield direct colonial power over African people, after decades of wielding a more indirect neo-colonial influence.

Once again - as it was in 1930 - the accusation being used to justify the direct colonial excursion into African political discourse and everyday life in 2024 is "wE aRe fIghTinG ThE rUsSIanS."

The inevitable Twitter ban can honestly not come soon enough, so that the Empire will effectively motivate a critical mass of young Africans - myself included - to abandon centralised platforms based in the US and embrace decentralised platforms like Nostr, which we all know are the future.

As a Gen X-er one of my best life hacks was to stop watching TV.

While still living in Amsterdam around 10 years ago I Initially placed a large Budha statue in front of the TV to deter me from turning it on when I came home tired from work.
It helped as after a while I would not move the statue, but I would start to move myself. I started swimming three times a week, going out for after dinner bike rides to catch up with friends, going dancing and I also to started reading again.

I started to get more energy, and my sleep improved which resulted in me being more focused on the things that I wanted to create instead of being sucked in to another series or show.
After approximately a year I ended up giving my TV away and I have never looked back.

Nowadays the word TV can be replaced with social media. The platforms suck you in for more clicks, scrolling and time watching stuff you don't really want to consume. I have tried most of them, but I have also ditched them all, bar #nostr.

#Nostr is different. You are not the product, You create the product.

#nostr gives you your life back.

Keep zapping and being creative you beauties.

We're stepping into an unusual era.

It's important to focus on foundational first principles thinking, Bitcoin, and core values.

As a species,

we're shifting from certainty to uncertainty.

This transition is so overwhelming, so unsettling, that nearly everyone tries to handle it by clinging to what they already know.

They flood the space with predictions, theories, and a false sense of assurance.

Only time will tell. we are in for a bumpy ride.

amazing times ahead.

I am convinced that information is the ultimate carrot & stick.

As our consciousness evolves and technology advances, it’s becoming clear that people can be guided simply by the information they consume. We’re like bacteria in a gut - part of a system that seems logical, where we believe our actions are driven by free will, but it’s all an illusion. Now, others can pull our strings by manipulating the information we receive.

This is why privacy and cryptography are essential. You should have the ability to process information privately and control what information you share and how you share it with the world.

The more we technologically advance, the more teachings of cypherpunks will grow in importance. And I look forward to witnessing that future unfolding alongside all of you... as we make progress toward the machine civilization.

Since nostr is really my only window to the current world, for about a year now, I get these lil glimpses in notes I don't quite understand or in memes. Sometimes, with time, a better understanding of the event emerges as more notes are posted, but often it is just a lil blip on my attention radar and passes by in a snap. What I have come to know is that very few things happening affect my day-to-day life and generally my life is much more peaceful and productive not knowing.

Totally a thing.


I get this. Through Nostr regularly you disengage from the news cycle but re-engage with quirky, weird human takes. It's way kinder to your psyche. Feels a bit like the innocence and promise of the early internet again.

That's funny.


I absolutely loved penning my column, “MyTwo Sats,” for CityAM. It was a dream come true to rant about the complexities of money, economics, and how bitcoin could fix it. It was aimed at London’s city workers—from bankers to brokers.

I also had the privilege of collaborating with an incredibly talented (and anonymous) bitcoin artist who transformed my words into art.

This article explores the critical link between energy and money—a foundational aspect of any economy.

By reconnecting money to real-world assets like energy, bitcoin is proposing a theoretical fix and offering a practical pathway to sustainable, fair economic practices.

But I know you guys already get it; hopefully, a few more people in the City of London will catch on now too.

## Progress this week

I was told recently that my update walls of text are too much. So, I'll try to keep things concise this week. 😅

This week has been all about building the reference implementation, which is quickly becoming a full-fledged client instead of just a reference implementation. I've not quite gotten to the MLS portion of the client yet but it does already support multiple accounts (including ephemeral accounts) and loads legacy (NIP-04) chats and full contact lists. So far, I've not implemented NIP-104 so there's not yet any updates to the MLS spec or other dependencies.

If you've got experience with using messengers in hostile environments (authoritarian regimes, you've been de-platformed, etc.) please get in touch. I'd love to hear more about what you'd like to see in a communication tool.

In the meantime, I'll be over here in the corner coding with my headphones on. 👨💻

Onward and Upwards!

Other successful companies related to a FOSS project, and with healthy relationship, just offer support services as a way of feeding back developer time into the FOSS project, WordPress, Canonical, etc. A good example is the nip05 example in the deck, we built a thing using lnbits which gave us a good reason to tlc the nip05 extension, which anyone can now make use of.

Shit. I'm so sorry. Well done for still being here.


“No event has traumatized me so much as watching nearly the whole of the professional, media, and academic class be entirely fine with the sudden imposition of totalitarian controls on association,  movement, and speech provided they could luxuriate at home - believing there to be a killer virus extant - and hang out on video chats as the workers and peasants kept society running and delivered groceries to their front doors. That same group was thrilled to receive trillions in payments for having done this.

Again, nearly the whole of the top 1/3 of society was just fine with this, and certainly raised no objection. Many within this group manufactured excuses for their deeply disgusting disdain for others.

I doubt I can ever recover the respect I once had for the wealthy, the educated, the credentialed, and the successful. In the Covid period, they deployed their privileges as a weapons against modern ideals and against all the people they (secretly) regarded as their lessers.

This really happened. And it revealed everything.

In the end, they were rewarded for their disgraceful attitudes and behaviors. This reality, again, more than anything I've ever personally witnessed, has shaped my views on nearly everything and fundamentally disrupted much of what I once believed.”

🌴 Madeira: The Bitcoin Paradise in the Atlantic 🌴

We have reached a remarkable milestone +100 merchants have now embraced the future by accepting Bitcoin. This achievement marks a transformative step towards integrating Bitcoin into everyday commerce in our beautiful archipelago.

Madeira, the picturesque Portuguese archipelago, isn't just known for its stunning landscapes and wine anymore. It's rapidly becoming a beacon for Bitcoin enthusiasts and innovators. Here's why:

Growing Merchant Adoption: Madeira's approach to Bitcoin isn't just about technology; it's about creating a new economic model that could serve as a blueprint for other regions. Whether you're a tourist, investor, or just curious about Bitcoin, Madeira might just be the next destination on your list.

Circular Economy Vision: Madeira isn't just adopting Bitcoin; it's aiming for a circular economy where Bitcoin can be used seamlessly for everything from booking accommodations to dining out. This vision could make Madeira one of the first places where you can live entirely on Bitcoin.

Community and Events: We are actively working to educate and integrate Bitcoin into the local economy, hosting regular meetups and conferences, further cementing Madeira's status as a Bitcoin-friendly zone.

Tax Incentives: Madeira offers a unique advantage for Bitcoin holders. If you hold Bitcoin for over a year, spending it incurs zero tax. This policy not only encourages Bitcoin adoption but also positions Madeira as an attractive destination for digital nomads and investors.

They've got the kids hooked on amphetamines. Amazes me society has let this happen again. Prescribing highly addictive substances is undeniably an effective way to control young people. What wouldn't an addict do to get their prescription?

Metamphetamines were first synthesised in Germany in the mid 1930s. They were made available to the public in 1937 and quickly became endemic among the German population. It's been suggested they were a critical component of Nazi military strategy. https://image.nostr.build/c24fa0d1c538b2ed55560745231d3c4c54b9371e1797b30e080ce4a71e7fcc17.jpg

Can link with Alby instead for less doxxing, same speed.


A year ago, I wrote an article for City AM, raising alarm bells about how children would be used to justify increasing online control under the pretence of protection. I warned that while laws like the Online Safety Bill may seem noble, they pave the way for overreach and the erosion of our freedoms.

Now, with the Australian PM stepping in on similar issues, it’s clear the trend is accelerating. The more we surrender control, under the pretence of convenience or safety, the more we lose—and it's not just affecting us, it's shaping the world our kids are growing up in.

As a parent, I’m struggling with the reality that I’ve handed my kids a dangerous device—a smartphone—one that society has normalised. It weighs heavily on me. The world is so focused on COVID, yet seems blind to the real epidemic: the pervasive influence of smartphones on all aspects of our lives.

I fully appreciate the need for decentralised social media. In fact, when I shared my thoughts on the harms of social media on X, the post appeared to be shadow-banned. I know Nostr plays a key role in the fight against censorship, but how do we protect children from the darker sides of social media on platforms like Nostr?

If it’s solely the responsibility of parents, the next generation of children could be at serious risk.

I’m reminded of how our freedoms are being eroded when I’m forced to use a cash till at the supermarket, realising how we trade away freedom for convenience in every corner of life. We’re slowly surrendering control, and it’s no different with our kids.

We say it’s for protecting children, but our children are far from safe. The dangers are real, and we turn a blind eye. If we stop them from participating in what’s “normal,” they face social isolation.

Yes, parents should take responsibility. But let’s be honest: it’s not happening. So, now what?

Governments claim they’re stepping in to stop misinformation, but we all know who the biggest culprits are—the ones with power.

From the moment my kids were born, my instinct has been to protect them. But how can we say no when homework is assigned through apps and phones becomes essential? It’s a trap. I left my old career because I couldn’t turn a blind eye to what I saw happening, and now I find myself reluctantly accepting the evil of this tech-dominated world.

Even adults struggle to regulate themselves with this tech. How can we expect kids to manage? Parents don’t seem to grasp the magnitude of what’s happening.

We’ve normalised a tech designed to be addictive, bombarding our kids with violence, porn, and unrealistic expectations. Billionaires who design these tools keep their kids away from them—what does that tell us?
This generation is drowning—sad, depressed, and lost. What are we going to do about it?

Parents need to step up. We’re the adults here. The government can’t fix this for us, and expecting them to will only strip away more of our freedoms. I’m genuinely terrified for our kids, and it feels like no one else sees what’s really happening.

From food to information, our entire world is poisoned. Bitcoin might be part of the solution, but that’s a conversation for another day.

How do we protect our children without sacrificing our freedoms? The current system isn’t working—parents are overwhelmed, governments are overreaching, and tech giants are exploiting the very tools that shape our kids' lives.

We need to find a solution, we’re leaving the next generation to navigate a dangerous and addictive digital world alone.

The question I’m asking myself is: ‘How do we ensure our kids grow up safe, informed, and free?’

Another great article Susie. Re: How do we protect our kids from the darker side of social media on Nostr? Definitely that's a work in progress. From what I understand from his Nostriga presentation, moderated Nostr experiences like Ditto by nostr:npub1q3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnws6cd26p are emerging that might help in this area.

From my perspective, one of the most concerning dangers of Social Media on kids is the dopamine destructive effects of the platforms algorithms itself. In this respect, Nostr feels way less brutal, less addicting more human. That's not to say there's no dangers, but at least the corporate platform isn't a predator.

If you can't choose to use your own server, it's not private.

If you can't use it when the company is gone, it's not private.

No one remembers anyone else's birthday anymore now that Facebook is dead.


Truth.


Today's P2P Nostr using phone-running Relays trough Tor in production apps (works with no hacks) will be remembered as a key milestone in Nostr's history.


If you can see this, Tor is now inside of Amethyst.

No more Orbot.


The UK ID card is not what you think it is. It is not a simple identity document like your passport or driving licese. It is in fact, a database backed control grid and the fulfilment of Orwells nightmare.

You may have heard that legislation creating compulsory ID Cards passed a crucial stage in the House of Commons. You may feel that ID cards are not something to worry about, since we already have Photo ID for our Passport and Driving License and an ID Card will be no different to that. What you have not been told is the full scope of this proposed ID Card, and what it will mean to you personally.

The proposed ID Card will be different from any card you now hold. It will be connected to a database called the NIR, (National Identity Register)., where all of your personal details will be stored. This will include the unique number that will be issued to you, your fingerprints, a scan of the back of your eye, and your photograph. Your name, address and date of birth will also obviously be stored there.

There will be spaces on this database for your religion, residence status, and many other private and personal facts about you. There is unlimited space for every other details of your life on the NIR database, which can be expanded by the Government with or without further Acts of Parliament.

By itself, you might think that this register is harmless, but you would be wrong to come to this conclusion. This new card will be used to check your identity against your entry in the register in real time, whenever you present it to 'prove who you are'.

Every place that sells alcohol or cigarettes, every post office, every pharmacy, and every Bank will have an NIR Card Terminal, (very much like the Chip and Pin Readers that are everywhere now) into which your card can be 'swiped' to check your identity. Each time this happens, a record is made at the NIR of the time and place that the Card was presented. This means for example, that there will be a government record of every time you withdraw more than £99 at your branch of Nat West, who now demand ID for these transactions. Every time you have to prove that you are over 18, your card will be swiped, and a record made at the NIR. Restaurants and off licenses will demand that your card is swiped so that each receipt shows that they sold alcohol to someone over 18, and that this was proved by the access to the NIR, indemnifying them from prosecution.

Private businesses are going to be given access to the NIR Database. If you want to apply for a job, you will have to present your card for a swipe. If you want to apply for a London Underground Oyster Card,or a supermarket loyalty card, or a driving license you will have to present your ID Card for a swipe. The same goes for getting a telephone line or a mobile phone or an internet account.

Oyster, DVLA, BT and Nectar (for example) all run very detailed databases of their own. They will be allowed access to the NIR,just as every other business will be. This means that each of these entities will be able to store your unique number in their database, and place all your travel, phone records, driving activities and detailed shopping habits under your unique NIR number. These databases, which can easily fit on a storage device the size of your hand, will be sold to third parties either legally or illegally. It will then be possible for a non governmental entity to create a detailed dossier of all your activities. Certainly, the government will have clandestine access to all of them, meaning that they will have a complete record of all your movements, from how much and when you withdraw from your bank account to what medications you are taking, down to the level of what sort of bread you eat - all accessible via a single unique number in a central database.

This is quite a significant leap from a simple ID Card that shows your name and face.

Most people do not know that this is the true character and scope of the proposed ID Card. Whenever the details of how it will work are explained to them, they quickly change from being ambivalent towards it.

The Government is going to COMPEL you to enter your details into the NIR and to carry this card. If you and your children want to obtain or renew your passports, you will be forced to have your fingerprints taken and your eyes scanned for the NIR, and an ID Card will be issued to you whether you want one or not. If you refuse to be fingerprinted and eye scanned, you will not be able to get a passport. Your ID Card will, just like your passport, not be your property. The Home Secretary will have the right to revoke or suspend your ID at any time, meaning that you will not be able to withdraw money from your Bank Account, for example, or do anything that requires you to present your government issued ID Card.

The arguments that have been put forwarded in favour of ID Cards can be easily disproved. ID Cards WILL NOT stop terrorists; every Spaniard has a compulsory ID Card as did the Madrid Bombers. ID Cards will not 'eliminate benefit fraud', which in comparison, is small compared to the astronomical cost of this proposal, which will be measured in billions according to the LSE (London School of Economics). This scheme exists solely to exert total surveillance and control over the ordinary free British Citizen,and it will line the pockets of the companies that will create the computer systems at the expense of your freedom, privacy and money.

If you did not know the full scope of the proposed ID Card Scheme before and you are as unsettled as I am at what it really means to you, to this country and its way of life, I urge you to email or photocopy this and give it to your friends and colleagues and everyone else you think should know and who cares. The Bill has proceeded to this stage due to the lack of accurate and complete information on this proposal being made public. Together & Hand to hand, we can inform the entire nation if everyone who receives this passes it on.

It feels weird to be proud of a billionaire, but in bitcoin terms I’m a big bro to Michael.

This is a powerfully redemptive moment for him. His Hodl journey has been very public and just as emotive and full of turmoil as the rest of us.

Michael was peers with bezos. He was one of the longest reigning tech ceos from the dot com bubble onwards. Except unlike bezos he was overlooked, his company left to chug along for decades. Neither taking over the world, nor exploding in infamy. Just a solid company that existed in relative obscurity to most of the population. It must have bothered Michael somewhat. Because you can tell that he is just as smart and calculating as his famous peers who’ve gotten all the headlines over the last 25 years. To them he’s like the rest of us Bitcoiner’s. A bit of a misfit. Someone who fell through the cracks.

After years of patience he can now confidently sit in the CNBC studio and declare to the talking heads and the world direct to their faces. “Yes I was right. Yes I am beating all of you”.

That’s the redemptive power of bitcoin. Whether you’re a billionaire or a pleb. You have the ability to reset your world and take your rightful place at the table.

In many ways large and small bitcoin is about renegotiating your place in the world.
https://m.primal.net/KksP.mov


Nacho cheese.


Feel very similar.


Twitter was paramount in bitcoins growth and its battles. Was a very cool quirky place eons before that too. Even though I have a very old account, bitcoin was the reason I started using it more frequently.

I met an incredible amount of good ppl there. Some of the best ppl I know was directly or indirectly because of the bird app. Hired ppl. Connected ppl.

There was/is absolutely nothing like it.

It's hard to imagine how the direction of my life would have gone, it was greatly impacted by it.

Crazy place! A true public square, I'm incredibly grateful for it.

Covid killed it, or at least accelerated its dystopian trajectory.

US politics gravitational force also doesn't help. Nothing on earth can scape use politics, everyone and everything deal with its consequences.

Even decentralized things. But they fare better. See bitcoin.

Anywho... Being with the X account deactivated over the weekend was quite nice, it had been a very long time since I fully disconnected. It is still a lot of signal, a lot of Lindy. But is also became an open sewer. (Why?)

The algorithm evolved for maximum conflict. It's hard to even describe how much it makes your skin crawl. It finds all the shit you don't want to read by the ppl you don't even knew about existed and vomits on you. Even with the large muted word list. It's not a healthy place.

Maxium engagement = more ad views?!

I don't want the firehose all the time. Humans are not designed for that. Different moods different content. Different types of engagement. Maybe even different clients for different sub network graphs. It's time time evolve. I think Nostr takes us there.

BUT I think Twitter's value can't be ignored. It is still a ginormous network.

That's aside from good ppl I know there, where it is our only comms channel.

I plan on drastically decreasing my use of it, truly limiting to posts about Nostr, projects I like and amplifying bitcoin things I believe in. The goal is to trend towards end of use. Hopefully it gracefully coincides with Nostr rising as the new public square. Protocols must be open. There must algo choice. Or we are doomed to doom scroll and ad target conflict.

I no longer will allow myself to scroll.

And will try to starve the beast as much as possible.

GN


Accurate.


Agreed.

Tokyo Electric Power Company’s Subsidiary Mines Bitcoin With Surplus Energy.

According to a report from Asahi Shimbun, one of Japan’s oldest national newspapers, a subsidiary of Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) has taken an innovative step into the world of bitcoin mining. Agile Energy X, the subsidiary in question, has cleverly placed its bitcoin mining units right next to solar farms in the Tochigi and Gunma prefectures, harnessing renewable energy to power the process.

Brazil directs VPN apps to be removed from appstores

"Justice Moraes issued multiple orders on Friday. In the first, he also ordered Apple and Google to prevent downloads of X as well as popular VPN apps." NYTimes

This little nugget is the more relevant and dangerous action to come out of the Brazil-v-Twitter spat going on right now - the Brazilian judge has ordered the major appstores to remove VPN products

This is a direct attack on digital privacy & security for all Brazilians

VPNs are one of those basic tools that everyone should be using to assist their privacy; removing access to these tools is a clear and repressive action from the Brazilian regime

Do not make the mistake of thinking that other nation states are not watching this action closely to determine how easy it will be to add that particular action to their arsenal for <reason> in the future

I think the best narrative is interconnection of different apps. You get app with reviews of restaurants from your friends. Highlights of content. Posts and images. You can meet your friends at events.

All these apps use the same identity and social graph.

It's like if Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Medium, Yelp, Meetup, ... used the same backbone.


I had the honor to interview María Corina Machado, the leader of the Venezuelan opposition, about how fiat money was weaponized against the Venezuelan people by the Chávez and Maduro regimes

She says Bitcoin is a "lifeline" and "vital means of resistance" and said that a future democratic Venezuelan government will use Bitcoin to rebuild the national reserves that the Chávistas stole and put Venezuela back on a path to peace and prosperity

I've put out a lot of content in the past few years but I think this is the most important thing I've done -- the implications are vast considering a) Venezuela is one of the world's largest energy exporters with some of the world's largest oil reserves and b) María Corina Machado is not some rogue leader or dictator but a US ally

Find a good local church. One with a pastor who consistently delivers zeitgeisty spiritual nourishment. Ideally one with a worship team who channel the Holy Spirit. Once you find that, commit to it consistently and contribute to its success in whatever ways you can. The urge to read scripture will grow. That's kinda where I am now.

In fairness to the UK, we are being told overly we're fucked. They've not got an election in sight, the nuptials have been performed and theres no reason for the gov't to make any friends.

They know the average voter can be gee'd up in 4 years when they needto borrow their rights again.

But the people.

Are retarded.

So they stood up and said "we've got no money"
"We need to grow, so here's double the CGT, and inheritance is being reviewed, and we're gonna shake a shitty stick at the local councils so they will allow more plebs to improve their homes"

Boomer pensions look so tempting. Boomers are already fighting about the price of things, they thought they could walk their 2024 bags through the 2003 society they stole it from. Doesnt work like that boomer.

UK is fine, as good as anywhere else. But it is fucked. The snap will be scary. A world without the gilts market is going to be grim, but thats what paying the bill always feels like.

Boomer assets will go perma-offered when the average boomer realities they cant buy cruises and groceries with 2% of their house.

I appreciate the effort that X is making but long term it’s like putting a bandaid on a hole in the dam.

The dam will break eventually. The water will flood innocent citizens living near the dam that could have been helped if warned. Corporate tech providers simply cannot withstand what is coming.

Nostr sits high on a hill and will remain untouched by the floods. nostr:note14ch4hz8gfkyesaj8nll7z7dvyuxpp04454pl74aq6l5zwmuq46dqttm5m9

THE NANNY STATE

I go down to the park for a beer with my friends. We all get fined for drinking in public.

We decide to go fishing, but apparently you need a licence for that now.

An afternoon on the jet ski might be fun. Oh no, you need a licence for that too.

But they're so easy to drive...

I have a new business idea, and start selling lemonade to people on this hot Sydney day. But this gets me another fine.

Why the f do you need a permit for this?

I watch Tucker Carlson with Zyn and think 'hey that looks cool'. I order some online but the TGA destroys it at the border.

How do I get my nicotine fix now?

A pack of ciggies is $60. That's too much for me.

Last night a gang robbed my house with machetes. I need a gun to protect myself from this lawlessness because the cops are useless.

What the? I can't even buy a gun?

I post online about the gang who robbed my wife. But it gets taken down and now I'm in Court for hate speech.

Since when was this a crime?

I get sentenced to prison but tell them I'm a woman.

I get a lighter sentence and get jailed with all the hotties.

Life's not too bad in prison. At least I can afford to live here: 3 meals a day and a roof over my head isn't too bad.

And the government will pay for my sex change.

The more I think about Nostr the more it blows my mind.

I can just say whatever crazy shit I want and there’s like no guardrails or mods—it’s just out there, and people will actually see it.

No one appreciates just how powerful this is, how important it is, monumental even.

It creates a totally new possibility for the social web, which is really something else entirely. It’s the possibility of a new world in which people own their data; their information. No longer to be exploited, or owned, people can really say whatever they want.

And that is truly extraordinary.


nostr may replace tiktok or instagram but more importantly it represents the evolution of wikileaks.

nostr is a distributed truth protocol.

“Inspired by graffiti bombing, we came up with the idea of doing illegal gigs in the street by stealing public electricity and bringing our own small amps. We called this ‘noise bombing’. It basically involves playing impromptu sets in the street, just like how graffiti bombers do their work, until we are stopped by security guards or some local tough guys. This concept is part-Occupy, part punk and part of DIY synth culture.”

Have a great start to the weekend ⚡ https://image.nostr.build/06f551dee92d6135fdd8e2b7309ba9886ee1bba01a65fd48972d72614a4296df.jpg


Nostr has oddly freed me from the constant pressure of social media.

I no longer worry about algorithms punishing me for not posting regularly. On Nostr, quality and effort are genuinely appreciated, and value flows regardless of how often I post. It's liberating to focus on real life, knowing my work will still be valued when I share them.

Plus I now have the time and space to experiment with new tools and learn new topics! 🧑🏫

Bring it on. We feel nothing.


Love how fast this is moving already.


TY Ser. She's fine. Says she's happy camping with us for one night tomorrow at least. Just gradually having to glamp things up a bit more to win the battle.


Dafuq!


Camping in the New Forest with my sister's family, kids loving it and time with their cousins. Tent erected in the dark with significant aplomb. Wife Foxtrot Oscared to stay in a hotel though. This war will incrementally be won though. Of that I'm sure.


Holiday comedown and final days before getting back to work. Wife says all I've been doing is messing about on Nostr and watching back to back Tucker Carlson episodes. Guess she's not wrong.


I've a channel ready and waiting. https://media.tenor.com/y0cSyUtR0cwAAAAC/anton-streamer-offline.gif

Visited Floripa in 2006. Wonderful place.


Here it is, the final episode of What Bitcoin Did…

The McCormack Show coming soon.

Peace ✌🏻

Love his depiction of 'The Blob'.


I guess so. Anonymity can be a powerful cloak, but vital to have people openly speaking freely too.


Not a bad option to use send function occasionally when onchain fees are low, select low % fees. In terms of earn, you're most likely to get your utxos used in other people's mixes by having a decent sized timelocked Fidelity Bond. Preferable to set practically no fees too IMO.


The entire #MikeBenz #TuckerCarlson interview was great but this two minute segment was by far the most informative. Why did all the large social media platforms become censorious lunatics over the past five years? Here's the best explanation I've ever heard. Even more importantly, here's why it might be ending. https://video.nostr.build/539acccfedfd10cbbb8083e61c0bba317da9214148a02151822bb9a38b2c31ca.mp4


Fascinating latest Tucker Carlson discussion with Mike Benz from foundationforfreedomonline.com on the destruction of the free and open internet. This guy needs to discover Nostr. https://rumble.com/v5crtxx-mike-benz-the-real-reason-for-pavel-durovs-arrest-and-the-deep-states-plan-.html


Up late watching 90s Oasis Live performances. What happened to that energy?


This recognition is why we're all here. Oooop only.


She was considered unfuckable until last month, now they're trying to airbrush her into a Goddess. Fascinating seeing how the machinations whirl.


The airbrushed catfishing propaganda only accelerates.

What would the masses do if streaming services turned off? 99% of us are video dopamine addicts. Terrifying cultural annihilation.


Epic photos.

It works.


One common complaint we hear from Nostr haters is that there is no economic incentive to run relays or that the network will be centralized in a few central big relays. These claims often come from confusion or misunderstandings.

I think this 40s video will clear all the matters and answer all the criticisms: https://cdn.satellite.earth/8e48f90f4889d6d8def300e9d843b9b353375426212f6b6253a8ee6aaaefcf07.mp4

If anyone doesn't understand or has a problem with this answer, please, I would like to hear it.


There is a real lack of understanding in just how fucked up the algos are, and how much power we gain in not being manipulated by them. We could be using the internet to do something extraordinary, and instead it is being used primarily to sell us shit and keep us scared. The whole of humanity is being fed lies and distortions through centralized social media that is designed to keep everyone asleep and unaware of their real power.

Now that there is no longer gatekeepers to what can be said to a global audience we have the power to shape a real unadulterated narrative; also known as the truth. The power of censorship to have molded a false global narrative is one of the pillars of the power structure that keep people divided over petty and impractical differences that can now be shown for what they are: manipulation tactics through the algos to keep everyone disempowered. We now have the ability to reclaim our voices in a way that no one can stomp out. What is to come and the changes that are to be ushered in will surprise all of us in the most remarkable of ways.

Pro Tip: Always consider compressing your videos before uploading them to Nostr.

This can significantly reduce the load on CDN providers, faster video loading for everyone, with minimal impact on quality.

It's free and takes few seconds, upto 90% size reduction.
