Small island.

Big #bitcoin dreams.

some people just give me bad vibes


Planes shouldn’t be uncomfortable when flights pass more than 6 hours


Uuuu I forgot, study there


Marry someone thats gringa
Get a talent visa
Start a business there with an american
Get a sponsorship
Cross the border from mexico, with a coyote it costs 5k (do it now before trump goes into office)


This is the first time I went out to orange-pill merchants on the island. I was honestly surprised with the results…

Conclusion: If you ever want to go out and experience rejection, go ask a business owner to accept #bitcoin 😂

It blows my mind how you have to ask a bank to use your money.

I have arrived 11:14 and can’t access a banker.

Let’s see how long it takes.


When I told the banker I was taking money out to buy #bitcoin, he laughed and said it was going to crash.


It takes a full BUSINESS day to wire transfer money.


Today I learned to get your money out of the banks.


After talking about what money is for weeks, this was the first introduction to #bitcoin.

The importance of creating a good foundation is underrated. People need to understand “what is money” to then understand why bitcoin is far greater and more than just another asset to flip for quick cash. https://v.nostr.build/1jVEcczKAeZOqieS.mp4

The craziest thing happened. A random Bitcoiner DMs me, saying he wants to come to the island and help out. He’s like, “I’ll be your boots on the ground, whatever you need.”

I told him, “Let’s do ittt!!!” but honestly, I didn’t think he’d pull through.

Then, out of nowhere, he buys his ticket. Next thing you know, he is on the island teaching #bitcoin to islanders 😂  https://v.nostr.build/W1YDzxqnHg7sLnDT.mp4

If the Federal Reserve offers Custodia Bank a Fed Master Account, it could allow for #Bitcoin to “weave” its way into traditional finance 👀

That could see “every bank adopt #Bitcoin or face getting outcompeted”

As of September 2024, the inflation rate in the U.S. was 2.4%, supposedly the lowest rate since February 2021.

In theory, it appears to have decreased, but in reality, it hasn’t. Prices have skyrocketed, while wages have barely moved.

This is because the numbers they’re using are manipulated. They use the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to measure inflation, but the CPI is literally a number they create.

Waking up at 4am is painful


What part of mexico are you in!!


No better feeling than booking your ski week 🥹


Yo, I went for a run today and listened to Steph Pomboy and Natalie Brunell talk about the recession we’re in.

All I could think about was all the people around me who work fiat jobs, save in fiat, and have no real hard assets.

The founder of Macro Mavens, a renowned economic research firm, says she has LITTLE FIAT in her bank account because she knows the Federal Reserve has ruined this country.

How can you wake up the people around you? How can they not see it?


Sri Lanka is $51 billion in debt to the IMF, World Bank and China. They even had to rent one of their primary ports to china for 99 years to repay a debt.

This is what happens when you let people print whatever money they please.

#Bitcoin can fix this.

That is why they have a bitcoin circular economy in the making…

https://v.nostr.build/xzwLscmgWUIiXytd.mp4


The moment I realized people actually showed up to the #bitcoin class 👀😂 https://v.nostr.build/5c2aEpkOwkYtCaFF.mp4


Last week, only one student came to class.

So today, I was honestly worried that no one would show up. But I came anyway, ready to teach, trying not to let last week’s turnout shake me.

Then, 30 minutes in, three students walked in, eager to learn about #Bitcoin.

Moments like these remind me why I keep showing up, even when it’s hard. https://i.nostr.build/cjFfRR5d0PTKeAjf.jpg


Stop talking and just DO.

There’s so many people that are all talk but at the end of the day that’s all they do, talk.

Don’t be like that.


That’s so saf

But I spoke with the other students


I do!!

Nope, today


After one hour of waiting for the students to come, only ONE showed up.

In 2016, the Indian government declared that the 500 and 1000 rupee bills were no longer legal tender. This left people struggling for weeks and forced people to stop using cash.

Since then, one of the most cash-dominant countries, facilitated the way for CBDCs.

#Bitcoin can stop this.

honestly the immigration system in america is f*cked.

they don't let LEGAL tourists go into the country, yet they give cell phones, shelter, and food to people that cross the border ILLEGALLY on a daily basis.

can someone explain the logic?

the irony is that my cousin got her tourist visa rejected by an immigration officer who was an immigrant himself from cuba.

The long-awaited first BTC Isla graduation happened on July 12, 2024. Four students completed the Mi Primer #Bitcoin curriculum, which consisted of 10 chapters covering the history of money, what Bitcoin is, how Bitcoin works, and what the future holds for Bitcoin.

I wanted to thank every single one of you who helped make this happen. Every single sat went into making the classes possible, buying the materials, and direct deposits into their wallets.

They’ve stacked over 0.0022 BTC, passed a halving, a hurricane, an election, and an ETF approval.

It's not that most people are dumb or uneducated. It's that most people are educated enough to believe what they've been taught but not educated enough to question it.

That’s what it means to be a product of your environment.

Don’t believe what everyone else believes just because those around you do.

Do your own research, and then form your own opinion.

I’m not financing my living there with donations, i do have a day job this is just my passion project. The donations pay the students for the classes and the materials needed. They also pay the merchants when I help them accept bitcoin. They also pay a part time salary to two of the graduates that are helping on board more merchants.

I made it to the trending page, HOW DOPE https://i.nostr.build/YwzDzsoRNjYqJ8af.jpg


Too funny not to share 😂

IYKYK https://i.nostr.build/PAQvraEtNKeTd2Qd.jpg


You don’t know pain until you go back to the gym after not training for a month …


As an analytical person and former psychologist, I’ve always been fascinated by studying human behavior—especially in the digital age. The idea of sharing one’s life online is an entirely new phenomenon, unique to this century.

While reading “Hatching Twitter” (though I’m not convinced we’re getting the real version of that story), one of the early chapters mentions that no one would feel comfortable sharing their life online. Today, that thought seems almost bizarre when you consider how nearly everyone is doing just that. However, I’m left questioning how beneficial this has been for humanity as a whole.

I find myself comparing this to the invention of electricity, which fills me with awe and a sense of advancement. But when it comes to the tech revolution and its effects on the human mind, I have my doubts. The original intention of social media was to make people feel more connected and less alone, but paradoxically, it feels like people are more isolated than ever before.

Last year, I took a significant step back from social media. I shut down my online business, deleted all social media apps from my phone, and nostr:npub1dtgg8yk3h23ldlm6jsy79tz723p4sun9mz62tqwxqe7c363szkzqm8up6m  can vouch for this—each time he showed me something from one of those apps, I felt disgusted with what the world had become. During that time, I felt truly free, as if I had finally taken off a mask. However, I also noticed an odd side effect: I felt disconnected from the world. I wasn’t updated on what my friends were doing, and I missed that sense of social interaction, even if it was superficial.

One of the most intriguing aspects of social media is how followers, likes, and engagement seem to dictate people’s sense of worth and relationships. People can become genuinely offended if someone they know unfollows them, to the point where they may not want to maintain an in-person relationship anymore. It’s as if the virtual world is dictating real-life connections: “Oh, you unfollowed me? I guess we can’t be friends in real life.” It’s a strange, almost absurd shift in human interaction.

Another bizarre aspect of social media is the idea that people who don’t resonate with you—or even dislike you—can still follow your life closely. They can see what you think, feel, and do daily. Ex-lovers and people from your past are just one click away from finding out what you’re up to nowadays. This level of access to personal information still feels surreal to me. How much information we handle and share without second thoughts is, frankly, unsettling.

In the end, while social media has undoubtedly changed the way we connect, it raises the question: has it truly improved our lives, or are we more isolated, less authentic, and increasingly detached from genuine human connection?

#Bitcoin Amsterdam is in exactly 30 days.

Here are five GOOD reasons why you should attend:

1.Networking opportunities: Bitcoin Amsterdam brings together a cool mix of people from all over the world who are into bitcoin. It’s the perfect spot to meet others who share the same passion, connect with businesses, investors, and build some solid relationships.
2.Learn and Level Up: The conference is packed with talks and discussions from some of the biggest names in Bitcoin. Whether you’re a newbie or a pro, there’s something for everyone, and you’ll walk away with fresh insights.
3.Experience Amsterdam: Beyond Bitcoin, you’ll get to explore Amsterdam. Period.

Did I miss anything else?

All I’m saying is, invest in yourself, I have not regretted going to one conference…just NOT going to them.

I left my old life to give a stage for those who are silenced, to give a voice to the truth. To show people that their voice makes a difference.
Most people are not ready to wake up. It takes courage and willingness to do inner work.
It’s a choice. It’s always a choice.
Have a great day full of awareness & choices 🧡💫

To the person who stole my purse, I hope karma gets you good.

Hear me out, if someone steals something from you. Do you buy the same thing again? Or let it go?


People should not steal. Idk how they can live with themselves.

This.

In the past year and a half, many people have (rightfully) criticized NOSTR for its flaws, but the importance of NOSTR lies not so much in its features as in its very existence.

A protocol, however flawed, will always be better than alternatives that don’t yet exist. In recent weeks, many are realizing the need for a decentralized alternative.

Nostr is here. And that's all that matters.

Okay morning recap:

The guy who was dropping us off at the airport forgot to give us our bags that were in the trunk. LOL.

Then, at the airport checking in, I notice the guy CRACKING up looking at my passport. Full on laughing, calling up his friends to look at my passport. Well it turns out, he was laughing at the picture 😂😮💨

For some context, I was 16 when I took my passport foto. Too funny. Almost missed my plane cause of this jajajajajaj.

Swipe to see the image in question, can’t blame him.

Then I couldn’t pass security because I have dual citizenship 🥲

Conclusion: if you are going to multiple countries with visas for entry in each, be prepared for the airport troubles.

I just traded 6 bills and got 100 bills in return. In order to make that exchange they had to scan my passport, sign a contract, and finally get my fiat. 🙃 https://v.nostr.build/x07IBCPncXvTIE6D.mp4

Can Nostr Make Twitter's Dreams Come True?

Twitter's founder says Nostr is “100 percent what we wanted”—an open, ownerless network

Alex Gladstein | 8.13.2024

Virtually everyone agrees that social media is broken. On Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok, people fear out-of-control algorithms, fake news, state actor censorship, and propaganda. Google and Meta collect vast troves of personal information on their users and receive hundreds of thousands of requests every year from governments around the world to access that data. YouTube has become arguably "the most powerful media platform in the history of humanity," yet its algorithm is an ever-changing black box to the creators that populate the platform with videos. During the pandemic, federal officials were in contact with every major social media platform, coercing them to remove content.

The problem is centralized control. We can't trust companies to run our primary communications infrastructure. Government regulation only makes matters worse because it creates new legal barriers to entering the industry, which protects incumbent players and stifles innovation.

What if there were an alternative, not owned by Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, or the Chinese Communist Party? What if there were a way to control your own data to prevent companies from harvesting and monetizing it? What if you had granular control over what you see in your feed, with the freedom to choose your own algorithms? What if you owned your identity, which could be accessed seamlessly across different clients? That way, if you disapprove of the changes that Elon Musk brought to X, instead of closing your account you could take your handle and followers elsewhere.

That alternative exists. It's called "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays"—or Nostr.

The Decentralized Solution

Invented by a pseudonymous programmer and overwhelmingly funded by grants from non-profit foundations, this decentralized, free, and open-source protocol has been quietly evolving for the past three years. Like bitcoin, Nostr is a community-run digital network highly resistant to censorship and corruption. It has 40,000 weekly active users and a growing ecosystem of clients and applications ranging from social media to long-form publishing to payments.

Nostr is only necessary because our existing internet is so broken.

Fifteen years ago, social media seemed destined to decentralize the world and give power back to the people. In 2009, we watched as Arab Spring activists used Twitter and Facebook to organize, coordinate, and help topple several long-standing dictatorships. The promise was that these new social platforms, designed by Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, could help liberate the masses.

It was intoxicating—but turned out to be a mirage. The Arab revolutions stalled out when brutal military regimes cracked down. These platforms became tools for spying and censoring their users. X and Facebook have helped journalists and human rights activists reach bigger audiences, but they haven't fulfilled their revolutionary promise.

Jack Dorsey's Shift from Bluesky to Nostr

This was a major theme at the 2024 Oslo Freedom Forum, which is put on annually by the Human Rights Foundation, where I serve as chief strategy officer. At this conference for democracy and human rights, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey told the audience that the problem was, actually, guys like him: The very fact that Twitter, now X, has a CEO makes it a single point of failure. Governments routinely pressured Dorsey to censor content; once the company's offices in India were raided. Dorsey says that under the new Musk regime X complies with whatever governments want.

The X network is proprietary. Known as a "silo," this construct traps a user's identity, followers, and data. X also has the power to evict anyone from the platform and delete what they've written. Several years ago, when he was still running the company, Dorsey became convinced that Twitter should become an application instead, where users could post content to an open, ownerless network. This would make it similar to how bitcoin works, where you use an application called a wallet to interact with the network, but the network itself is neutral and open.

Building a non-proprietary architecture was Dorsey's original vision for Twitter, but over time the need to maximize revenue to build a business and serve shareholders undermined that goal.

Nevertheless, in 2021, Dorsey encouraged the creation of Bluesky—an initiative bootstrapped in-house to create that open neutral base layer. But after Musk bought the company, the managers of Bluesky were afraid they would run out of money and started raising funds from venture capitalists, which undermined the vision of building an open platform. Dorsey grew disenchanted and left the Bluesky board.

At the conference in Oslo, Dorsey explained what happened next:

I asked a question: What open source initiatives should I be funding that would be helpful to the public internet? And people kept tweeting at me that I should be looking at Nostr. I found the GitHub that described it and it was 100 percent what we wanted from Bluesky, but it wasn't developed from a company. It was completely independent. Its paper diagnosed every single problem we saw and had. But did it in a grassroots and dead simple way, that felt like the early Twitter where any developer could get on and really feel it.

Escaping the 'Golden Prisons'

Nostr was created in 2020 by the pseudonymous Brazilian programmer fiatjaf, who describes it as "the simplest open protocol that is able to create a censorship-resistant global 'social' network once and for all."

Though nobody is in charge, Nostr works as promised and is thriving. "It is the solution we've all been looking for," says Miljan Braticevic, founder of Primal, one of the two dozen plus clients now available for the Nostr protocol. "Nostr is not a Twitter competitor or a Mastodon competitor. This is the biggest misconception at the moment. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Nostr is nothing less than the foundation for the new internet. Meaning almost every conceivable app we have today will be built on Nostr."

Braticevic's prediction is echoed by at least a dozen other prominent developers. Martti Malmi, the first coder to work on bitcoin alongside Satoshi Nakamoto, is now a Nostr developer. In a recent talk, he said he had started to work on similar ideas around decentralized identity in 2019, only to come close to giving up. But then he found fiatjaf's invention, which he called a "godsend."

"Bitcoin is freedom of money, and Nostr is freedom of everything else," Malmi said. "I was there" in the earliest days of bitcoin, "and Nostr is even more intense."

For something that could be world-changing, Nostr is quite simple. To join, you sign up with a mobile or desktop client, which helps you to create a public and private key pair. The public key (or "npub") is used as your identifier, and you share it with clients and other users so that people can find your posts or pay you for your content. The private key ("nsec") is hidden by the user, stored safely (just like a bitcoin seed phrase), and is your way to log in to different services. Unlike platforms like X or Facebook, no other information is required to set up and use Nostr.

This gives users a powerful range of sovereignty. You can use a client, for example, that has strong hate speech controls. Or you can choose one that doesn't have any at all. You can use a client with aggressive algorithms, just like the ones X uses today. Or you can use one without any algorithm at all. Today, when you log in to an app like Primal, you can sort your feed by what's the latest, by what's most popular, by what's most zapped, or by customized keywords. It's up to you.

Last month, the macroeconomist Lyn Alden, author of one of the best books on bitcoin, published a long essay about Nostr's potential:

[Nostr] is a simple set of foundational building blocks that, if widely adopted, could gradually reshape "the Web" as we know it. Instead of a separate set of siloed social ecosystems, we could gravitate toward a more interoperable set of ecosystems, with more of the power dispersed to the content creators and to the audience, and away from the middlemen corporations.

The Nostr network is constructed like a spider web that can morph and regenerate, making it almost impossible to censor. When you set up a client on Nostr (perhaps, Primal or Damus on iOS; Amethyst on Android; or Coracle on the web), you choose from a variety of relays to connect to. This architecture ensures no single point of failure: If you are connected to seven or eight relays, and half of them choose to censor posts, your feed remains censorship-free, as your app will display the net sum of everything broadcast from each relay. If the Chinese government decides to attack your relays—as it did in 2023 when Damus launched on the Hong Kong and mainland app store—then more can be spun up. "The enemy," said Damus creator Will Casarin, "is too numerous."

Prominent bitcoin developer and educator Gigi—who switched to Nostr and deleted his X account—says that what helped it become so resilient is that it has zero exit cost. If the Chinese Communist Party bans YouTube, its domestic users lose everything. There's no way to get back their profiles and followers. The same is true if a user voluntarily closes an account.

Gigi calls these corporate silos "golden prisons" with no escape. Nostr's spider-like architecture makes escaping easy. If one client goes down, or you fail to connect to one relay, you just find another client or connect to another relay. You keep your posts, photos, preferences, contacts, and even algorithms of choice. If you use X, you are an X creator. But if you use Primal, you aren't a Primal creator, you are a Nostr creator.

Moral of today: always say yes.


While you were busy making fun of the UK for criminalizing free speech, the UN finalized its Cybercrime Convention which will overrule bank secrecy and criminalize hacking, whistleblowing, and security research.

The convention, which was finalized last friday, drastically expands government surveillance powers and enables the widespread sharing of personal data between UN member states.

The convention mandates the identification, tracing, confiscation and seizure of "proceeds of crime, property, equipment or other instrumentalities" and the collection of real-time traffic and content data on behalf of requesting member states.

It further mandates member states to establish criminal offences for "the concealment or disguise of the true nature, source, location, disposition, movement or ownership of or rights with respect to property" and  "the conversion or transfer of property [...] for the purpose of concealing or disguising the illicit origin of the property" when committed intentionally.

As the Electronic Frontier Foundation explains, the convention includes "documents saved on personal computers or notes stored on digital devices. In essence, this means that private unshared thoughts and information are no longer safe. Authorities can compel the preservation, production, or seizure of any electronic data, potentially turning personal devices into spy vectors regardless of whether the information has been communicated".

While the treaty defers most articles to the governance of local laws, it states that states "shall not decline to act [...] on the ground of bank secrecy".

Max Keiser: I've always said that Bitcoin has no top, because fiat money has no bottom.

There's no backing for fiat money. It's just paper. And I think a couple of things we're going to see happening.

Number one: People will no longer accept fiat money for Bitcoin. So you're going to try to buy Bitcoin with your fiat money, and no one will take your fiat money. No one will take dollars at all.

So that will be a moment of panic. They’ll be like, "What? It's like, no, here's a million dollars. Here's $10 million. I want one Bitcoin." Like, "No. No way, amigo. We don't want that shit. It's worthless."

So that's going to be panic. Then people are going to have to trade in other stuff for Bitcoin, like gold, or their house, right? And then people are going to be panicked, and they shouldn't be panicked, because the world we live in now is a fake world that's been created with the hologram of fiat money. https://video.nostr.build/ece2c87470fcdd43575f1f6b26cc8089d4203a5cf377526a173bd60c513ca232.mp4

1980s excerpt:

Is the dollar about to collapse?

He announced that Fed policy will continue to be "accommodative," allowing the money supply to grow.

That could translate, traders calculated, into still lower interest rates, which would make it less attractive for foreign investors to hold dollars. Volcker insists, though, that he is "not interested in jumping on a decline of the dollar and pushing it lower."

He maintains that the answer to the problem of the overvalued dollar is a reduction in the budget deficit. As Volcker pointed out, a drop in the dollar is dangerous because the U.S. depends on the inflow of foreign capital to finance the deficit. https://i.nostr.build/m62LprPLcFUw3mBX.jpg


“Kellner concedes his prediction would be dead wrong if Congress were to take a substantial chunk out of the huge federal-budget deficit-but chances for that look slim. It's more likely that continued heavy government borrowing will add to the upward pressure on interest rates-making the new economic rally a short-lived one indeed.” https://i.nostr.build/PH7hFqtRv2xpJCVf.jpg

Peter Thiel: I went to the World Economic Forum in Davos the last time in 2013, and of course, they have the same ideas as the mob. And in some ways, it is a mob.

And people are there only in their capacity as representatives of corporations or of governments or of NGOs.

And it really hit me: There are simply no individuals. There are no individuals in the room. There’s nobody there who’s representing themselves.

And it’s this notion of the future I reject. A picture of the future where the future will be a world where there are no individuals. There are no people with ideas of their own. There’s nobody to say, this is wrong. This doesn’t make sense. And I’m going to think differently. I’m going to think for myself. https://video.nostr.build/77b8e97452db0382ea4b6c1e59c55b096ebb9552e44aca9b26ab615ee6deaab1.mp4

Yo, sometimes I think about the Facebook posts that were never deleted that make me question my younger self.

How will that be on NOSTR in 10 years? 😳


Some people are too bitter. Don’t be bitter.


Rise and shine


After a hurricane, tropical storm and a lot of chaos, the FIRST BTC Isla class will officially be graduating TOMORROW!

#Bitcoin to the moon 😎

Whyy what happened? 😱


What is your go-to video to show someone what #bitcoin is?


So if sugar is a drug, is the majority of the population high all the time?


It is official, final class of the season is completed!

Knowledge is power 💪

Next week we will have new #bitcoin ers roaming around.

Can we not post short videos anymore?? Que está pasando NOSTR 😱😳


Okay hear me out, don’t come at me for ignorance.

But I’m teaching the last class today for BTC Isla (before they officially graduate next week) and in the last chapter it talks about bitcoin being a revolution and how it its paving the way for a more equitable and decentralized future.

The word “equitable” keeps come back because how can it be equal if it rewards early adapters? And of those early adapters most if not all had access to a computer back in the early days.

It isn’t equal to those in poverty though, that have no such resources.

Why is it that the poor always get the short end of the stick?

What do I mean by that? Well the less you have the harder it is for you to succeed, yet the more you have, easier it is for you to reach the top.


"The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. The essential act of modern warfare is the destruction of the produce of human labor. A hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past, and no different past can ever have existed. In principle, the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects, and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or Eastasia, but to keep the very structure of society intact."

 Because:

"War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength."

George Orwell.

Is it normal to feel scared when you tell immigration you are in their country for a #bitcoin conference?


After almost a year of working with one of our editors, he has finally seen the orange light.

He is now asking to have some of his paycheck in #bitcoin . 🙌

A little bit goes a long way fam.


Bro, if you can be nice why do you choose to be a dick?


Exposing someone that doesn’t want to be found that’s done no wrong for views and clicks is peak evil.


You watched Star Wars, and you sided with resistance.

You watched the Matrix and you understood and you sided with the resistance.

When it’s fiction you understand and side with the resistance.

Yet when it’s happening to you in real life, you refuse to see it.

When it’s the reality that you are living in, you are afraid to resist in real life.


Lol, wokies have built their bigotry of low expectations into Ai...

So it answers black people as if they are incapable of achieving anything, telling them it's okay to be proud of meaningless things like race.

The first answer is correct for all races, sexual orientation, & most other things you have no control over.

Okay so, what I’ve gather from the elections here in Mexico is the following.
There are three main parties, MORENA, PAN and PRI.
MORENA is currently in control with the president Lopez Obrador. PAN and PRI have joined forces this election.

Here’s where it gets crazy, in the regions where the MORENA is losing, the voting stations are being lit on fire. Getting bomb threats. People getting paid to vote for MORENA. Things are getting wild.

Savage.

We are only 3 classes away from being the first BTC Isla graduating class and welcoming 4 new bitcoiners to the world!

Go seize the day fam.


My doctor told me I have high cholesterol for eating too much steak.


The medical industry is business model designed to keep us coming back, never really finding the solution to your symptoms.

It's structured to treat symptoms rather than root causes, ensuring that patients remain dependent on continuous treatments, prescriptions, and follow-up appointments.

This vicious cycle means that one healthy human equals $500,000 in revenue, making it a $165.5 trillion business model.

I wonder what the profit margins are 🤔 https://video.nostr.build/739d904be97186d87056e03de5e7900c422f1a293651c1a471da948914e99c5a.mp4

YESSSSSSSS


also my #1 pet peeve. I am not a one dimensional strawman that you made up in your mind


There is nothing more annoying than someone telling you to focus on one thing.

1st of all, mind your own business.

2nd, worry about your life.

3rd, if I don’t ask for your advice: don’t give it out. Cause there’s a reason I didn’t ask for it in the first place.

Focus on you and I do me fam.

nostr is still mainly used alongside twitter. in the best rare case, as a replacement. and only because people are running away from something about twitter they don't like.

there is nothing that people want to run to nostr for yet. zaps were promising, but bitcoin is still a hurdle (one that primal is doing the best at overcoming), and it's doubtful lightning could scale to a massive adoption moment.

nostr needs a feature or experience that's unique and sets it apart. i *think* that is the ecosystem of microapps over the long term...but it's definitely not in the short term. and that might be ok.

for twitter the initial draw was the simplicity and weirdness of 140 characters (we started with zero network effect, facebook had it all...that's built over time). later it became the conversation which lead to the "public square" (owned by a private corporation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). and then as it grew, it had a single point of control/failure people could attack.

nostr doesn't have to worry about that last bit. it's an incredible feature. but not one the average person cares about (no matter how much they yell "FREE SPEECH!"...if people actually cared about free speech, bitcoin and nostr would be all they used...they don't).

all this to say, we're not doomed. but what we think is the killer feature isn't right now. who's going to discover the one that is?

Meet one of my students:

This is Maria Isabel Canto Trujillo, she goes by China. She was born in Halachó Yucatana.

China is 47 years old. She embodies a rare joy that can light up even the darkest of rooms. Yet, her journey has been anything but easy.

China was abandoned by her mother at the age of 3 and had to learn the harsh lessons of survival early on.

There were days when hunger drove her to rely on coconuts plucked from trees for sustenance. That is why she has been working for as long as she can remember.

By the age of 15, she ran away from her abusive home to another lesser abusive environment. And that was just the beginning.

The reality is, she has been working for a currency that offers her no way out. With the constant devaluation of the Mexican peso, her work is nonexistent. But China has hope.

And that is why she wants to learn about #bitcoin to give her the freedom she has been chasing since she was 15.

Her Lightning address: china123@coinos.io https://image.nostr.build/a63e72d17ea0e355ac160a3bfe6e415d27412836e75665b917e17610141d9299.jpg

I also see it as an opportunity to start independent projects and become self-sustainable. (I remember hearing about Bitcoin from a YouTuber when I was 15 and briefly tried cryptocurrency mining. However, I couldn't delve deeply into it, lost my account, and only rediscovered Bitcoin when I started working at Mayakita.)

Living in Isla Mujeres, a renowned tourist destination, has its challenges. The increase in the value of the dollar has made things difficult, as many transportation and private services prioritize foreign currencies like the dollar or euro, leading to economic discrimination within the community.” - translated from Spanish

Ecosystem Equilibrium

Nature (and everything else) is in a constant state of seeking equilibrium. We live in a universe of cycles. Day and night, seasons, emotions, life, death, rebirth.

We as individuals are our own microcosms, each with a different climate, terrain, soil, and weather.

When two of these different ecological communities meet, this transition is called an "ecotone". This overlapping area is the most diverse and critical space because it creates a bridge between two different zones.

People are no different. The ecotones between us as individuals is the Social Soil we get to cultivate in our 1-1 relationships. And the ecotones we create between communities is ultimately what link us all together through our interconnecting relational circles.

Every time you engage in a conversation with someone, you have the opportunity to build that Social Soil, or degenerate it. How you choose to show up, water it, tend it, give it your utmost attention. These are all the tools we have to create healthy, abundant, and thriving social ecosystems.

We can truly only give our fullest attention and care to roughly 150 relationships. Much more beyond that and the quality of our social soil starts to decay as the system is stretched too thin.

Nurture what is in your immediate circle. That doesn't always have to be physical proximity, since technology has allowed our 150 to now span the globe. But start to look at who you would consider to be in your circles of 150 and deepen your focus on those relationships until they thrive and creates more abundance around you too.
This is the way to create ecosystem equilibrium in your own microcosm within the macrocosm.

Hear me out, why do banks allow overdraft fees to happen?

Why don’t they just CANCEL a payment instead of allowing it to go through if the funds are not there?

Why would they keep charging someone for being broke? It makes no sense to me 😂

Like BoA, if the funds aren’t there in the first place how am I supposed to get the overdraft fees?


I love waking up to negative fiat 😂 https://image.nostr.build/1ba38a86b907538e3cc3fa624a0f8e73384cfd1de1d8be5d7e5eff29df9b6501.jpg

Love waking up to no power 🫶

We need to set a date to go!!


Social Soil has been the core concept guiding the social design at Yellow Barn.

Observing land stewardship in regenerative agriculture informed much of this concept: even the most barren, compacted, dessicated land could be remediated into fertile soil.

Regenerated soil is incredibly resilient.

Relationships are the same: the need for deep roots of trust, processes for composting emotions, mycelial networks to move resource, fair and reciprocal exchanges of attention.
Once established, they are able to withstand even the most brutal elements: Torrential storms of grief, wildfires of rage, gusty winds of change. Because we did the work to create layers and layers of healthy social soil.

And once that layer is built, the seeds of ideas, hopes and dreams can truly flourish into life.

Things like money become tools to move energy - the current-you-can-see of currency - and just as water in a garden, it can be mindfully allocated in the quantity, frequency, and location most needed at that time. It's always good to have your ponds to store water but once full, you don't need any more. It's better served downstream.

Take only what you need. This is the essence what Indigenous wisedom teaches us with the Honorable Harvest. And if our technology and money can match that Ethos...well, then we're creating a whole new game.
