"May you live in interesting times" is an interesting expression, sometimes referred to as a curse.

Many of our best stories, from literature to shows to movies, are about horrible times. They're about conflict, and people overcoming that conflict. And our heroes, both real and fictional, are tied to those times.

And yet as people with lives and families, we don't want to live through those times. We don't want to live through war, oppression, or conflict. We don't want to have to be the ones to stand up and tell some more powerful force to go fuck themselves. We'd rather read about others doing it, and how cool that was when they did.

I continue to view this period of time as "interesting" in the historical sense. The 1990s were probably the best recent time to chill, but it wasn't where history was made. The 2020s and 2030s are not as good for chilling, but from looking back in the future, it's these times where the bulk of the historical content is likely to be focused on.

For some regions, it's outright war that they're dealing with now.

For the majority of other regions, it's instead a cultural war, and an economic war. And it's going to get worse before it gets better. Do we fund those who are at war, and if so, which side? What values do we subscribe to, and who is "we"? How do we determine truth, and with what framework? For breakthrough tech, who gets to control it? Should it be centralized and regulated, or open and accessible?

And more directly it's about stepping up and saying, "It's good for people to be able to own and transfer money without state control and state dilution. And it's good for people to be able to communicate how they want to without the state silencing them. Even when they buy things and say things that I disagree with." That won't be an easy battle.

Someone on Twitter sarcastically asked me today what army defends Bitcoin. My answer was:

"The army of encryption and energy spread around the world.
A shield, not a spear."

The same is true for Nostr, in a slightly different way. The developers and relays, and the people willing to use it and finance it, are what defend it.

Communication and value are the two key components of free commerce. All of those people today who build strong shields for communication and value are living in interesting times and contributing to them in a positive way.

nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z I went to an investor presentation lunch for Fischer Investments with my grandpa today (he has about half his money with them) and I could not believe how much they bashed bitcoin.

They claimed bitcoin was one of the most speculative investments on the planet and that no one should put their hard earned money into it. They cited that it had more +/- 5% days than most other investments making it too volatile for any reasonable person and I was really holding my tongue because I wanted to bring up that stat you talk about where you can pick any 4-year period and if you would have put 2-4% (can’t remember the exact percentage) into bitcoin and the rest into cash you would out perform the sp500 with a better sharpe ratio.

I’m very non confrontational so I didn’t speak up and figured they probably wouldn’t believe my statement but I’m thinking of sending them a follow up email.

It’s laughable the way these investment firms present to elderly people stating that you just need to keep most of your money in the “Big 7” stocks and you will do fine over time. Literally telling people there is no reason to have an investment manager, might as well bye an index, but still throwing up all this nonsense on why people need to be with them.


Those are some realistic ass tears.

If AI gets that good at photoshop we are never going to be able to tell what is real and fake.

Not trying to shill anything here.

I’ve brought up Abaxx a few times on here and they have built some momentum the past couple weeks and have a lot of catalysts over the next few months.

One of their main goals is to bring true price discovery to several physical commodities through an exchange in Singapore where they will provide physical delivery on their contracts. Looking to undermine paper manipulation of spot/futures prices on physical commodities that run our world and get more capital into the hands of people producing and mining real things. Very in line with my proof of work mentality.

They recently closed financing to launch exchange within the next 3-4 months.

They have big name backers that I respect such as Robert Friedland and Kyle Bass.

Just wanted to share with fellow plebs if any of your are looking to add some risk/upside to an equity portfolio, and I think this company is very in line with many of our values.

Here is a great board to scroll back through if you are interested and want to do some DD.

What was the parlay?


Are you or someone you know dealing with some variation of digestive problem, such as:

- Crohn's Disease (Ileitis)
- Ulcerative Colitis (UC)
- Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD)

...or similar?

9 times out of 10, these problems are COMPLETELY fixable by adopting the diet humans have evolved to eat: MEAT AKA #CarnivoreDiet.

It's not that complicated: Despite what the Big Pharma overlords want you to believe, human beings DO NOT have the biology to digest plants/fiber. When you eat these materials (stop calling them "food"), it's going to shred your gut. The only question is how long it will take for the damage to catch up with you (some variation based on genetics).

Modern folks have been duped into the scam that we can just switch to the diet of a rabbit on a dime, and expect everything to be OK.

Bailing on the multi-million year constant of meat-eating in the last half-century has had disastrous consequences on global health. Millions of well-meaning people are walking right into Pharma's trap (needing supplements/pharmaceuticals to function) as they are unknowingly deteriorating their bodies to a significant degree by swallowing the toxins/defense chemicals inside these plant materials.

Anyways, bringing this back to the original topic of healing digestive problems: If this is you, and you've been searching for relief from the suffering...it's your lucky day! #Carnivore is the answer you've been looking for ✅

And if "just eat meat" sounds like a "too good to be true" cure...

TRY ME.

I've been building a massive collection of testimonials of people who've completely eliminated these prohibitive ailments from their life (as well as many others) by adopting a species-appropriate diet. My DMs will always be open for anyone who's ready to take the plunge, and massively improve their health/well-being 😎🤙

The power of real people telling real stories can only be held off for so long.

WE ARE GOING TO WIN.

Completely agree


I’ve grown to appreciate the idea that we should embrace the subjectivity of experience.

Living on a Bitcoin standard is such a fundamentally different way to view the world than the Fiat standard is, and if most people can be wrong about the nature of money, it begs the question what other commonly accepted “truths” about reality are actually illusions.


Is your experience truth or is what you learn truth……this is the ultimate question…..most the world right now chooses the one I would not.

So much we do not know, so many possibilities, I love it, it’s comforting in a way that we know so little because it means that goodness, love, and peace could be fundamental to reality and we can never lose them even when it can feel like we are.

Do whatever you feel you need to do or are called to do.

Believe whatever you need to or are called to.

Maybe believing something makes it real relative to you. We do not know what we have the ability to manifest.

Reddit just rugged all of their /r/Cryptocurrency users, announcing the deprecation of Moons.

Moons were a Shitcoin than ran on Ethereum. But, Moons were a way for Reddit to test value for value. Moons were handed out to users that created content and Moons were also tipped to Redditors in a similar fashion to how we use Zaps.

Many users were excited by Kraken announcing support for Moons earlier this year. People were buying Moons, trading Moons, and even selling Moons. And then the whales dumped on the them. Hard.

Most users are very pissed off right now.

I see an opportunity for Nostr.

I see opportunity for Redditors to jump ship and come over to Nostr's Moderated Communities. Communities are supported in several popular clients or even dedicated clients. Communities need a lot more work to be fully enticing, but the groundwork is there.

Appreciate brother!


Great plant


I need to try something like this as well, what tutorial do you recommend?


I agree


I like the one to the south


I really like this, very thought provoking and I have been leaning towards this way of thinking lately.
I’ll definitely be chewing on this tonight.


Sometimes it’s best to not have an opinion and let your thoughts and prayers be with both sides. At the end of the day the good guys and bad guys both have realities that are too terrible for most of us to imagine during a physical conflict. And I find most the time I can’t what differentiates the good side and the bad side nowadays. Nothing changes until we show peace and sympathy towards all.

Whoa wtf


Woke up with a headache.

Went on a 2 mile run.

Headache completely gone.

Movement is key.


To have a life different than the average person, you have to:

1. Have a contrarian or uncommon view.

2. Make a concentrated bet with either your time or money on that view.

Can’t do what everyone else does and expect a different result.


Disgusting

Only in nostr you get someone of the caliber of nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a sharing this kind of anecdote.

So thankful to have her fighting along us for a better, freer future. nostr:note1pyaxq2kqumhrej2lyh7lremv29ww8law8k5xakls2dcphr3rrwjsy6cm25


But in bitcoin terms I think land and real estate drops consistently for 10 years


True, I guess as long as money is printed, scarce things increase to some degree no matter what

The amount of people’s net worth that is in Real estate is the most interesting thing to me right now. Feels a little like a ponzi. Especially if population growth slows or reverses, how does most real estate hold value?


I see though you chose to line up lips


Could have lined up the hat brims a little better 💜


Absolutely, every day


Haha things are getting ridiculous


I’ve been thinking this lately as well, some history is pretty wild


The bait of wealth hides the hook of slavery and addiction - Randy Alcorn


Did an interview with nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s today regarding Nostr and Damus.

It was freaking great!

One of the best things I’ve seen this year


That’s all great info, I’ll probably plan on doing no more than 20% einkorn to start and see what the efficiency looks like.


I’m starting with an extract exile just to see the process but I have a good amount of einkorn wheat berries that I would like to experiment with on my 2nd batch. Would try to malt the wheat berries myself and then use them in an all grain recipe. Do you use much wheat in any of your recipes?


Any tips? Did you brew from whole grain?


Anybody home brew beer? I’m gonna try it out for the 1st time next week.


Luke Gromen is going to be right in the long run


I agree


What if you go insane every week?


Don’t vote.

Minimize taxes.
Buy local food.

Try growing as much of your own food as possible.

Don’t watch news.

Keep a strong mind and body.

Cold store bitcoin.

Kill em’ with kindness.


But I’ve seen a lot of others say Nostr


I say Nostr


Good man.


Couldn’t agree more


Ya I agree that it is sorta a nutty timeline, but if you read The White Pill by Michael Malice it highlights just how atrocious the form of communism was under Stalin. May be worse than Hitler’s Germany or at least as bad given the length of time that the whole nation was under the most intense forms of psychological torture. Not sure how aware the US was of it all at the time, but those ideals could have played a role in us opposing them in such a harsh manner.


Honestly, great advice

Blessing in disguise my dude!


Well, friends. Today it was my turn in the barrel. I got laid off from my fiat job along with most of my coworkers.

I’m not interested in returning to that world again, and want to build the next phase of my career in bitcoin. I want to put my years of experience in creative, design, branding, and marketing to a better purpose, to help integrate bitcoin, the Lightning Network, nostr, and the ideas, values, and vision we share into the culture at large.

If any of you have ideas, a business, or a connection that I should make, let’s talk. Or feel free to tag someone in a reply.

You guys are definitely doing impressive work, there are just a fair amount of hardcore open source fans that value privacy and anonymity above all else that don’t love the direction ZBD is going. Power to you guys for doing your thing and maybe you will prove us wrong!

Phenomenal question, I was raised catholic, I ponder philosophical and spiritual matters often, and I think this question is one that everyone should ask themselves if they believe they know truth and people of other beliefs do not.

I have come to believe that you can only know relative truth (since our material reality is relative) and that there is a possibility that what comes next is also relative. All I can hope for is that I join all other souls in a place of love because that is the one relative feeling I know intimately to be joyful and selfless.

PATRIOT ACT 2.0
-------------

$1M Fine and Up To 20 Years in Prison❗❗❗

The RESTRICT Act, introduced by Senators Warner and Thune, aims to block or disrupt transactions and financial holdings involving foreign adversaries that pose risks to national security. Although the primary targets of this legislation are companies like Tik-Tok, the language of the bill could potentially be used to block or disrupt cryptocurrency transactions and, in extreme cases, block Americans’ access to open source tools or protocols like Bitcoin.

The Act creates a redundant regime paralleling OFAC without clear justification, it significantly limits the ability for injured parties to challenge actions raising due process concerns, and unlike OFAC it lacks any carve-out for protected speech.

Gonna have to try


Who here read David Graeber's "Debt: The First 5000 Years?"

I'm curious what peoples' thoughts on it. I already have my own thoughts on it, but for something I'm working on I'm interested in hearing what people on Nostr think about it in their own words.


I would love to try that


And you can’t even tip the guy on nostr!


They all can in the metaverse

Lol


Not sure which option is healthier 😂


Why aren't altcoiners moving to Nostr?

They're used to bribing centralized entities to integrate their coin. Exchanges list them, websites cover them, wallets add them. Even Twitter has the NFT profile pics. But they can't do that on Nostr.

And further, the Lightning integration means they have to use Bitcoin! The sad fact is that for all their developers, altcoins don't have anything like lightning. And they know if they come here, they're going to need to convert some of their stash.

It'll be fun to watch the VCs try to downplay Nostr's significance as they try to protect their bags. But it won't work. An actual decentralized network is forming and their centralized crap won't work here.

Let them have centralized platforms. Decentralized money belongs on a decentralized platform.

This is a really good question, I think main draw will be that lightning payments are native so they probably are going to have to have some interest in bitcoin/self sovereignty first……which can happen quick if we get runaway inflation globally in the next 5 years


genuine question: what will be the catalyst for non-bitcoiners to come to nostr?


Wild


Sparrow + Nunchuk + Coinkite hardware devices is the absolute peak in open source multisig interoperable bitcoin experiences. I've just been bouncing PSBTs around using nothing but QR codes between my Linux desktop, Android phone and iPhone, signing them using various devices and methods (tapsigner, coldcard over USB, coldcard+SD card) and it all works flawlessly.


Welcome new Nostr users! You can pay just a little bit of bitcoin and get your check mark here. No need to pay $8 a month 😂

Just head on over to https://NostrPlebs.com and follow the identity registration process to get your NIP-05 ID (shiny check mark).

Let me know if you have any questions or issues. 🤙
