Guerrilla Tea Room by Pierre Sernet (2002)

"One" is a photo series by Pierre Sernet started in 2002.

The concept is simple, 12 wooden sticks, couple people, and tea. https://image.nostr.build/c0c8425beb58d6e7b1d39dc43767ede11b443f414f551c3d27099911f7643d53.jpg https://image.nostr.build/6431236966e84d40acc8f155336fa6237395207a50a6c0348e52421d0700b318.jpg https://image.nostr.build/d02927107b7f9c76af0e70a808088a897438bc970ca358cffbf2feb2af4916b1.jpg https://image.nostr.build/74cdaa0019538da18bb35bc2bfef6b7f307d8f0a8fe43c1f12bbee0b23ab5d85.jpg https://image.nostr.build/6f332471cd795ee12b7d5870250d89af5995cc0a0161a1dc74dbe224669657ae.jpg https://image.nostr.build/28f1c2f7dec669ac487094203bcc66ac867ba3329af982052b825bd89b9fdbbd.jpg https://image.nostr.build/2041faa242407aa195a47142cea555203a00970f16a5a81fde7007237ce25656.jpg https://image.nostr.build/bb985dcfd03b32e86969c0ae41a8567fce8b6719985bd1f74604c76c06c76f84.jpg https://image.nostr.build/fe7adaf456931ee90f29d526c3187a120e5d9cfcdb91bc80df05aac4b65d01a2.jpg https://image.nostr.build/1aecb31baab1b6ba0f12d03543fc8bfd06d484de3dbdbcbf7b57903786668380.jpg


Leaving this here because the description of Bitcoin ecosystem as voluntary anarchocapitalism with plutocratic tendencies is definitely contributing to my understanding about the reality of this system vs the possibilities and/or intentions of it.

Excited about the early strawberries... and planted a few broccoli and kale ☀🌱

Fascinating insights into the threats to decentralized democratic decision making... bitcoin really is a departure from mainstream/fiat mindset. So cool.

Is there a Bitcoin bookclub? I'd like to read and discuss Bitcoin books + articles with others. Know of any? Interested?

#asknostr #grownostr #bookstr

Basically I'm working through this list... based on what's available at my library first, but I can be flexible :)

Happy eclipse day to the North Americans among us- what a day to remember we're all flying through space together on this beautiful ball of molecules (with an hot iron core warmly hugging us all in) of which only a thiiiiin layer holds all the life we've ever known.

I was looking earthwards mostly... and listening to Digital Gold. So good! 💛

Also, set up your wallet to get zaps! 🫶


Keep looking, keep talking. You will find the right people... maybe a few wrong ones first though 💜

I think you just go to your settings and into set up wallet. Follow prompts from there. Takes about a minute.


Primal's native one is run by strike, I believe... it's been working well for me. It was the easiest option. I'm not fluent in all the nuances of wallets yet but for the amount of sats I'm playing with atm, this works just great. You can always change later :)


Set up your wallet so we can zap you! 🩷


Friendly reminder to know your growing zone and research what grows well in your zone. Growing zones are global, this is not a US based system. This is a reminder as spring is upon us in the Northeast US that many plants (particularly flowers like dahlias and zinnias) should be planted prior to last anticipated frost or immediately after. Don’t be intimated to start plants from seeds either, it’s easier than you’d think. #nostrgrower #flowerstr #flowerchain #farmstr https://image.nostr.build/72908fd3038dc4338c7fe3f63e83b431dce73620dda935df88552cf967d42218.gif

New Nostriches: This video was recorded a year ago at the first Nostr conference in Costa Rica. Please check it out. It will help put into perspective what we're building here. Via nostr:npub1lelkh3hhxw9hdwlcpk6q9t0xt9f7yze0y0nxazvzqjmre3p98x3sthkvyz

Done. Easy. 10/10 would recommend :)

Yum!


Nostr #gardening #food people...

What do you do with your garlic greens? I've left this patch of garlic from last year and new bulbs won't develop at this stage... so I'm going to harvest the greens. Any favorite #recipes ?

For those that are new to Nostr, hello!

What’s cool about it is that Nostr it is an open source protocol. It is not a centralized company, but rather is a protocol that individuals and companies can build upon.

This means that you can use many different applications to access it, or even build your own. And it means that there is no central authority that can take down posts or delete accounts; there are different servers operated by different entities that are storing the data. And there is no central algorithm for determining what posts people see or don’t see.

You can hook up a bitcoin lightning wallet to send and receive tips (“zaps”) on posts. Nostr itself is not a blockchain or crypto and has no token, but the Bitcoin blockchain does complement it well via zaps.

Nostr is still relatively small, and a bit rough around the edges. But the community here is great, and familiarizing yourself with the technology and concept is useful in a world of centralized social media. It is a new method of decentralization that balances various trade-offs in a novel way, and the protocol can be used for a lot more than just social media.

Welcome!


If you're new around here, the following links might be useful:
https://nostr.org/
https://nostr.how/en/what-is-nostr
https://nostr-resources.com/

If you managed to say "hello world" via one of the #introductions posts you're already on your way.

Make sure to learn, experiment, ask questions, and most importantly: set a lightning address in your profile so people can zap you! ⚡🧡

If you don't know what a lightning address is give nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg mobile or https://npub.cash/ a try.

Have fun! 🤙


That's fun


I just realized I've never really social media-ed before 😭 I like it here, though. I think I'll stick around✌💖


Hello Nostr! I'm trish

Been here a minute looking around and I like it... thought it about time for an #introduction

Here to learn, connect, and zap 🫶✨

I'm inspired in a lot of different directions: art, parallel economy building, cooperatives, abolitionist + feminist + indigenous philosophies, ecology, self-sufficiency skills, trauma-informed wellness... and am now newly and totally intrigued by Bitcoin!

Heard about Bitcoin Atlantis from you nostriches (did I use that right?) and caught most of day 2... wow!! That's really why I decided to stop sitting poolside and jump in here. Really inspired by the Btrust talk (@obi, @ihate1999, @jack ), @gladstein 's Human Rights Foundation, and Sarah Kreps with the history of war and money in the US. Amazing!! Looking forward to getting into the recaps to check out all the rest of you wonderful speakers 🙌💪

Also, saw a GREAT post (I'll repost if I can find again) with this reading list https://bitcoin-resources.com/books/

... What else would you recommend for a total Bitcoin/Nostr newbie??
