 Do you foresee a future where the decentralized forces of Damus or Mastodon overthrow the establi... 
 Could be depends on how much they censor and if nostr can have a good UX 
 Some people are ok with loss of control for better UX.

 Came across nostr recently! Pretty damn cool idea! I’m upset I didn’t board the train sooner!... 
 Nostr like toaster

 We don’t need an intercessor for God, and don’t worry about philosophy. Worry about what is right and wrong. That is why we have halacha, what is right and wrong

 What are UAPs
Why can’t we go to Antarctica? I want to fly a drone south as far as it will go 
 Obviously a controlled demolition, and look at building 7, that’s the nail in the coffin 
 no physical evidence for UFO  
 Would rather live there and walk to work than have to drive in traffic all morning.. and the building is safer cuz they have doorman 
 Are all Nostr messages/DMs encrypted?

If I zap a Quoted Note, who gets the sats?

 Read truthcoin Paul Sztorc. It's better than all those books. Mining forget about it that's just a business. Flip burgers if it makes more sats. 

do this checklist
Multisig, at least jade diy, sparrow on permanently air gapped laptop, maybe also bluewallet on offline phone, so 3/3 then back up in different places according to your situation. 

Start to think about kyc. find someone to buy coins from non-kyc pay your buddy to take the kyc hit or buy on bisq. Keep kyc wallet or account separate from non-kyc. 

The other stuff is a distraction from proper cold storage methods. 
 You need to think about building from source or reproducible builds also 
 What is the first step to "disappear" from the system?

 You need a burner phone then because they can track you with your sim

 Proof of work is supposed to be hard. Therefore Solana is a shitcoin

 it is ok. Solana will fail with or without you. I only try to help you. Bitcoin doesn't need you, you need Bitcoin  
 I am getting very similar vibes this week to when I really started to understand Bitcoin

 Anyone know an alternative way to burn a .iso file to a thumb drive?

 Disk utility on gnome 
 Oh your thumb drive won't show up is another issue. I had that before, I never was able to fix it (typical Linux behavior)

 Depends if you connected to a chain analysis node. Your wallet asks about 20 addresses. The node links the address then send them to chananalysis You probably did connect to a public node I'll dm me if you want my node but it's not working now

You will need to mix with wasabi or say u sold or something

 Probably jade diy. Or Bitcoin core on air gapped computer. There's no point to ask this question though because you need multisig if you don't trust your device 
 I stopped watching the news about the war because they are not trying to win it. It's the same as Iraq and Afghanistan. Doesn't matter how many of these sand monkeys you kill, another one will just pop up and replace him. 

Only when you cut off the funding by using Bitcoin and the dollar going to zero will things start to change.

 You know this crap is gonna end up like Iraq and Afghanistan. They are gonna do "regime change" what a joke. We will defund the fiat currency with Bitcoin 
 We need to re-occupy Gaza. Re-hamasization implies that the "good" so-called "Palestinian" scumbags will control Gaza

 Then stop using bitcoin lol, it is encrypted data in a public space 
 Yeah it's funny what do they want 
 Are you deleting Telegram now? 
 The messages there were not encrypted anyways 
 I wonder what would happen if you could keep nostr keys as secure as Bitcoin keys like if you could keep them offline and do multisig

 yeah free it's good
