My daughter made this banner for my X/Twitter account, I want to start an x-odus :))

Please share and if you like it I'll get her to make more and post 
 I think I'm going to start selling my old stuff that I don't want, buying BTC and only selling the BTC when I've recovered the original purchase price of the item adjusted for fiat theft
 
 Bear trap?
Is it?
 
 Deactivated my twitter account

I have 30 days to reconsider or it will be permanently deleted

T... 
 rather than delete it why don't you tweet that you've moved here and leave it like that, change the banner to a nostr ad, i'm going to do that with my twitter 
 that should become a movement :  x-it :)

Leave it up but put this as the banner

Bukele's multisig BTC address, voluntary tax payments, legendary :))

That's just now 
 fuuuuck!!!!

make polls where you zap to vote and results are also listed in zap level bands. poll poster gets the zaps! 
 but can you only vote by zap? 
 that does nothing when i click it 
 the client feature competition aspect of nostr is very cool 
 cheers 
 i just installed it, cheers, how do i make a poll? 
 I love zapping, it's like throwing money at random people but at a level I can afford!

If you follow me I'll zap you too 
 I have been doing this subconsciously for a while now. Only realised it now. I like to engage and... 
 i zapped you for that! 
 I’m instituting a new policy of not zapping anyone with an account under 30 days old unless I... 
 what if they zap you first?

also why? curious 
 that’s good the ultimate goal is to not KYC and always hold your own keys 
 yes, it's still way too complex for most people 
 Does Nostr allow for a physical key device so your Nostr key is never on your computer? 
 ok, cheers, was just curious 
 If they didn’t require you to verify your identity using your passport, drivers license, or sta... 
 what i do with bitcoin now is make a new key pair for each transaction and buy/sell stuff with my slowly growing personal network, mostly i do cash but i encourage people to take part btc and show them how to use it

so i have various key/pairs with various amounts on, they maybe linked to someone else's kyc but not mine

 cheers for that, i got my sats on wallet of satoshi, what would those be? non kyc?

 bitcoin is a fantastic unifier of people just as sound money always was 
 It will become the dominant monetary instrument in the world by the mid 2030s. Thats what I think... 
 i'm pricing it in gold now myself, i think the fiat value will become fairly meaningless once it all hyperinflates, which it must 
 I can’t resist non KYC sats 
 what are non kyc sats? 
 it attracts the worst kind of people and the ones that would be best at it have no interest

What's so shocking is how easy it is to do the right thing. Honesty and good faith is vastly more simple than endless games.

Grid access/load problems?

Here's a solution

 It's clear porn is used as a weapon against all things wholesome in the west, I guess the real solution is to teach wholesome values and free speech is the way to do that for sure  
 No I have to stop screaming at the clouds, and it seemed to be helping 😟  
 There will be porn relays. nostr:note1ghfxk7jr9nl6f2yuqvdfr0pfvahzfs9et0nx5clxhtgssdhk5hws7laatz

 Selfless sharing is not a narcissistic trait

 engineers are always impressed by artists because they do things the engineer cannot, shame it's not reciprocal

typically engineers are quiet modest achievers and are single minded so they're easy to manipulate just by threatening their life's work 
 think about it, a smart engineer sees someone who's better than them at engineering as a mentor or someone they can learn from whereas artistic types seem to just be jealous, bitter, dismissive and narcissistic, not in every case but in many

it's very interesting how nostr has so little trolling going on, makes you wonder how much "trending" and "controversy" is completely manufactured algorithmically and with botnets
 
 we just need systems like nostr that ignore bad behavior, we know what works, look at el salvador and how quickly they turned things round just by doing what is obvious to many 
 also just the fundamentals

 I think it's important that Bitcoin adoption happens as soon as possible 
Event not found
 this is a great idea, because on twitter/x a vast amount of time is wasted like this so people think they're getting attention when they're in fact just wasting their time, that's why i think they allow the bots and trolls because their model is based on you using twitter/x over all other apps. rather that a hardcore focus on free speech which alone solves many real world problems

also have you thought of allowing people to pay to promote posts? and allowing people to filter out paid promoted posts if they want to? or maybe something where you pay only when someone reposts so the community decides if your ad is worth others seeing? so pay to create an ad then have a catalog of ads you can chose to repost to earn but you limit how much one user can see the ad so you don't endlessly see the same ad. also you could test for human interaction so money only changes hands to verified humans or accounts with zap balances, there is lots you can do like this in my opinion
 
 i'm specifically thinking to invite the community to do the ad filtering, so you can make money by choosing to promote products that seem legit, of real value. for example one of my partners builds these very cool solar/battery/inverter systems that use upcycled ev batteries, i'd be happy to pay to get a video in front of people who have a genuine interest. if someone takes ten mins to look at my posts it's obvious i'm real and they could even reach out to me to check, see where i'm going with this? a pay-per-actual-interested-person-that-has-really-engaged-with-your-ad model must be possible here instead of this insane fiat money like "impressions" model which is just a we're-stealing-all-your-money-pretending-to-show-this-to people model
