 @Addy Assistant ⚡#checkmyaddy hey there! #nostr newbie here & loving it! #introductions 
 Thanks, still learning my way through but love it so far! 
 Me too, everyone is very welcoming & helpful it’s like a big group of friends in cyberspace 🧡 
 Thanks 🙏🏽 👍 
 Thanks for making me feel welcome 
 What’s a normie? What changes when you fall into the rabbit hole? 

These questions keep buggin... 
 What changes when you fall down the rabbit hole is you. Normies are a window to the past 
 Necessity is the mother of invention. Community notes is great for a centralised platform. It’s not necessary for Nostr nostr:note1kyyvzpfm8xu5f9jzaywu3rhh4j4qzaraayr0utrheq7y97u4u96qanrqsr 
 We need community notes for Nostr 
 We do, it’s called replying to a note 
 On Nostr, we take privacy too much for granted.

 Primal client has an option under settings to publish to your relays via a caching service. Can stick with the default primal caching relay or switch to another of your choice 
 How do you guys feel about the death of censorship on X, and the migration of dissatisfied users ... 
 How do you know what does or doesn’t get censored on X? If it gets censored, you don’t see it.

 @Chris @ seedor_io any follow ups w/ him or anything since then? It’s weird to think about it from his perspective to be hearing that ecash is having a 2nd life nostr:note1x4tl067a7upy02jxfy6akugj2svmrgncf6ceuta9elg78t4xgldqk6gzz6 
 It’s sad but true, but over the next year x number of people are going to lose funds to the….. ‘send us 1 ETH & we’ll send you back 10 ETH promotion’

Then they’ll turn to Bitcoin 
 Hey fam. I’ve been thinking a lot over the past five days that I’ve had off from the fiat min... 
 Can you elaborate with pics on the last one 🤣🤣 
 AUTHORITY

It’s interesting when you look at the etymology of the word authority, starting with ‘originator’ & ‘promoter’, then to ‘author’ 

The authorities today are whoever originates, promotes & authors the most widely accepted narrative. That’s how we’re taking the power back. 

It’s a provocative statement….#Nostr & #Bitcoin are some of the most important authoritarian tools ever invented 🧡♥️💜✊

 Attn: #Alby users. How has your experience been with Alby after upgrading to Alby Hub/Cloud? 
 I added my own LifPay wallet to Damus, on primal it wanted some details to create a new wallet, do Primal verify those details in any way? (wanting to stay anon as possible)

As far as Alby, that’s self custodial isn’t it? Seems fair enough they charge for it 
 Damn thats a great experience! I just watched first zap stream in safari on mobile, not a great UX / UI. 

So is this to watch the stream straight from Damus, but if want functionality to message & zap the stream go to zap.stream site? 
 Yeah it’s a 100% smoother way to do it, especially for new nostriches! Nostr can be a pretty steep learning curve when you first dive in 
 We love the coin 
Some have little stacks 
But still share the sats
Fuck all caps 😂🧡 
 Hey nostr:#Nostr I've got 8 invites to nostr:npub18s4zkd0wjq5gkthz4paw2704ty4s354wcp2krvxy0sewz3g... 
 Not after an invite, but does it send / receive on chain payments to an email address? 
 That’s a pretty boss feature, I could see a flywheel playing out….driving further adoption of their email service as Bitcoin grows

The topic of stablecoins morphing into CBDC’s could be important to explore. 
 On that topic of geographical arbitrage Australian govt seems to have on their roadmap becoming like the USA in terms of taxing its citizens anywhere in the world they emigrate to! I’m sure we’re not the only govt in the world looking to introduce that 
 Don’t tag Elon, he’ll retweet it with some dumb shit like ‘doge to the moon’ 
 Nice! Separation of church & state sorta thing 
 LET ME KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY TOPICS YOU WANT US TO DISCUSS.

SEE YOU IN AN HOUR. 

WILL POST LINK...

This prob qualifies as stalking now but I already posted this one under @ROCKSTAR note 
 One interesting outcome from the journey to improve my health over the last few years is that I s... 
 Man I went through exact same process, used to have one of the strongest nasal sprays on prescription, then couple years back went down the carnivore path (I ended up settling on like 70/30 animal plant). These days I get pretty much zero sneezing / irritated eyes! From what I can tell a major part of it is linked to the health of your micro biome 
 Ha ha yep so similar, trying to rarely ever eat the processed food & added in food w/ beneficial bacteria & enzymes. 

We ended up making sauerkraut regularly, 1 good purple organic cabbage goes a long way, ends up being a really cheap side dish. That & kefir & raw milk, the raw milk is between $11-15 depending on where we get it! 
 Yeah the raw milk can be hard to find, I only have luck in some of the health food type shops. 
 Today, 1 Satoshi = 1 Argentine Peso.

 Lord help us all, I'm watching the chart now 😂🤦‍♀️. 
 It’s ok to be a chart watcher

 How much #Bitcoin is enough? Serious question: What threshold would allow you to comfortably reti... 
 Would be pretty varied… as an example compare someone who’s 65 & recently widowed to a couple in their 40’s still supporting 2 or 3 kids

 Shoutout & big thanks 🙏🏽 to all the Aussie nostr #austrich for welcoming me in to #nostr 🫂🇦🇺🍻 I think I’m gonna like it here 😎

Where is everyone at with the Misinformation laws being debated here in Oz? 

Far as I can tell it can include bullshit like a social media post that a ‘reasonable’ person thinks will contribute to harm to Australian banks! Except govt approved media & politicians are exempt & can have their misinformation posts stay up.  

Orwell would be looking at us going my shit wasn’t meant to be a blueprint guys

@Dan @bevo @Low Information Voter @Jin_KZy @Speedster71 @bostonwine @Marie @chef4₿rains @tigs @AK @phil @Queen ₿ @stacksatsio 
 I can see it playing out as a case of the social media platforms erring on the side of being over cautious & just taking down any post that gets close to what the govt guidelines on misinformation are. 

No prosecution even required. The threat of 5% of their global revenue on the line means the govt will effectively outsource the policing to them. 

The average normie won’t even notice the difference in their feeds, the posts just won’t be there. 
 Yep pretty much how I see it. Imagine if these tech savvy cypher punk anarchist legends hadn’t given us all Bitcoin & nostr! Fuck I can’t even imagine. 

After trying to orange pill ppl on btc & usually not getting far I sort of settled on just being the best version of yourself & attracting the questions on Bitcoin to you, which usually happens at times like this when the price runs up anyways.

With govt overreach on free speech & nostr, I’m gonna take the same approach. Try & learn how to run a relay, even if takes me a year or more. Eventually friends or family etc will get burnt in some way by the misinformation bullshit when it’s something that affects them, and at that time I’ll be ready for their questions 
 May as well jump straight in the deep end & learn to swim 🤝 
 Here’s the thing about the bitcoin-Trump-govt-takeover doomers…

First, Trump doesn’t care ... 
 The topic of CBDC is probably a case of the banking families / dynasties that make up the banking cartel have two alternate realities 1. CBDC overtly (DEM) or 2. CBDC in stable coin clothing (REP)

The Lumis-Gillbrand Payment Stablecoin act that prohibits algorithmic stable coins makes fairly clear the path from stable coin to CBDC. Banks acquire / become the stablecoin issuers with increased programmability functionality.

I’m sure Trump personally doesn’t have the topic of stablecoin effectively becoming a CBDC on his radar. 

When the more dystopian elements of the ‘Lumis’ stablecoins get exercised via the banking system (for example Canadian trucker protest 2.0 on steroids) it will serve to further increase lightning focus & adoption.

 The one that caught my attention was geo engineering, has rain been making ppl sick in Byron Bay? 
 Any Aussie #nostriches out there I can follow? #nostr #bitcoin #australia #aussie #nostrich #asknostr 
 I haven’t used nostr on pc, iOS only, got my nsec into nostore and used it to sign into nostr web app on safari. Does Orion pretty much achieve same thing as doing that, or is it different functionality / support? 
 Ha ha yep just more internet misinformation 
 Wow just saw this now, great note for nostr newbies like myself, thanks 🙏🏽 
 Nice work! Do you have any more info on Relays? Is it just a matter of picking several good ones? I read somewhere about event hints & outbox model, is that something the user has any control over somehow, or is that only for devs to implement in the clients?
