It's cloudy here... Hopefully the clouds will go away to admire the moon


Hopefully the sun will come out tomorrow. Fingers crossed! This was depressing


Anyone else in the cloud watching club?
After 2 weeks of foggy and cloudy days I'm so grateful to see a bit of the blues!

I guess it goes to show, does it not?
That we've no idea what we've got until we lose it
And no amount of love will keep it around
If we don't choose it

Take me back to Eden - Sleep Token
Lyrics by Vessel


It feels like we haven't seen the sun in decades at this point 😔


We are the creators of our reality.

The leftists are pretty scary, as the reality that have created for themselves is wild. Seeing them saying that they are scared to leave their house, crying that they lost their rights like they are in a warzone is the wildest thing I've witnessed.

So out of touch... Touching grass won't work for these people.. I don't think...

All this was only to remind us to be careful with the ideas and content we consume.

#elections


Congratulations US! Let the next 4 years be prosperous. As someone who's watching from afar, the idea of having Kamala in, was unsettling.

I didn't understand why so many women in the US wanted to get Kamala in the White House apart from the point of view of getting a woman in. But if that's really the only reason for voting for Kamala, then we have still a lot of work to do as a collective. I mean... at the end of the day what did she do in the last 4 years anyways? 😳

Also, did you notice that the "bad actors" who were on the Diddy list endorsed Kamala? 👀

With what's going on here, I can easily see people rioting against the government. Yesterday in London they were removing tents, but without giving an alternative to these homeless people.

The crisis in the UK in the roughest areas is heartbreaking... Just watched Joefish's investigation on YT and honestly it's one of saddest things I've watched.

A pregnant woman living in a tent. She's working on herself and she's integrating back in the society, but I can't stop thinking how their own government is not doing a thing to support these people.

What is happening to this world? It's becoming a worldwide phenomenon. Did the governments meant to do this to their people on purpose? To divide us and demoralise us?

I just hope for better days for anyone who truly needs it 🙏🏼


I would wear it as a Christmas jumper. Every year we wear Christmas jumpers at work so I would definitely wear this.


I definitely see it as both!

The Liquid Network has undergone a transformative rebrand, featuring a new sleek logo and user-friendly website (liquid.net) to better represent its elevated role within Bitcoin's layer-2 ecosystem. 🧵👇

https://image.nostr.build/5007aa26b8dd9166f4a9ea7a3f8d3b00c51a4a5e4f00b2f475764648ae511612.jpg

Liquid's new logo is a nod to the popular wave emoji that’s long been used by the online Bitcoin community. It perfectly captures its growing role in Bitcoin finance and seamless interoperability.

Thank you for the inspiration! 🌊 🙏
https://video.nostr.build/56b09a023babb0e8a005e85b158b9e85729a7892031cb8667f1a8b9946367f2e.mp4

The revamped website doesn’t just refresh Liquid's visual identity but highlights its versatility as both an independent solution and a companion to its sister protocol, Lightning, with references and resources to projects like Boltz, PeerSwap, Lightning on Liquid, and more.

https://video.nostr.build/fa90cdeff235bcfbeabbd38fec9f046c602c2cc13154a4d4252e719147605c52.mp4

To best illustrate this, we've organized the website into four portals: developers, enterprises, users, and merchants. These portals serve to streamline the onboarding experience and tailor resources to each user group's unique needs.

https://image.nostr.build/a3cb0a3ce888a7a497309f0124a16f5069784a1dcc2877eb6817f97221f8465a.jpg

Developers, for instance, will find technical documentation and SDKs that simplify building on Liquid. Meanwhile, merchants and enterprises can explore how Liquid improves cross-border payments and enables the issuance of tokenized assets confidentially and securely.

https://image.nostr.build/73be0559653558929d1ed8b150a333ae20ef43cc51a78bdad2407f850c0851ec.jpg

On the user side, we share how Liquid delivers an optimal way to stack sats and manage Lightning channels in high-fee environments, as well as detail how users can access Bitcoin-denominated financial products and self-custody them offline in a Jade hardware wallet.

https://image.nostr.build/c5627168c92e329319e73a5c723f115357b7c1352d0a8fedd2aa5aa26da4c293.jpg

We've also added interactive features to simplify concepts and data sets, including a new dashboard tracking key metrics like LBTC circulation, transaction volume, and TVL, along with visual models of the federation in action.

https://video.nostr.build/528013051d93faae972fa965203d1a51707a64ea96d24089d094590b76033c8f.mp4

This rebrand is just the beginning! We're setting the stage for broader adoption and innovation, making Liquid and other L2s more accessible to businesses and users alike to drive hyperbitcoinization.

If you have any suggestions for the new site, please comment below or DM us!

Since everything the government has, it has stolen, the more they need to spend, the more they need to steal.

Governments with the ability will steal through currency devaluation.

Others will increase taxes.

Many will do both.

The worst kind will engage in asset confiscation.

That reminds me this song:
Trigger warning - Falling in Reverse


-Tai Chi topic -

Right.... How do I start this? I went for my first lesson today. All I knew is that I need to relax even though I've been out of my very stressful job for a 1.5 months.

We did some Qigong, Tai Chi and meditation to finish off the lesson. During the meditation I started crying. Truly, the energy from these practices is no joke and I'm realising that crying is also a release, so this is what happened there, I think...

Did you have a similar experience with Tai Chi or meditation? I would love to know as this caught me by surprise! I'm not the emotional person in the room quite the opposite, I'm always the supportive one.

The food advice was also a fantastic point! Everything will cost an arm and a leg 😂


Your comment 🙏🏼 honestly I resonate so much with it. I feel like almost everyone is very knowledgeable about anime, comic books etc.. I just like to draw stuff and talk to people! 😂 I will definitely go, even though the train tickets will be really expensive. 😅


#comicon fans I need your perspective/advice! I got free tickets to attend comicon in London. Now, I will attend with uni but truly I'll be on my own around the exhibition. I wonder how fun or boring this will be. I'm asking people who have attended comicon before.. please share your experiences 🙏🏼

I am a proud and grateful owner of this beautiful piece of art.

“Simplicity in Light”

For any nostrich considering a painting by nostr:npub17nd4yu9anyd3004pumgrtazaacujjxwzj36thtqsxskjy0r5urgqf6950x, it’s a splendid place to spend a few sats.

His work is moving, and this piece spoke to me above all others. It’s what I would paint, if I could paint. And it’s even more lovely in person.

An oil painting on canvas, by an Italian bitcoiner, this will be my Christmas present from my wife. (I had to peek just to be sure it made it through shipping un-damaged 😉). But it will stay hidden from now until it goes under the tree in December 🎄🎁

Thank you for this beautiful, peaceful, delightful addition to our young-but-growing collection of art, Carlo — I appreciate you 🙏🫂

This is another proof that Nostr just works. An artist sharing his craft. A pleb on a quest for beauty. The overlap of the two, facilitated by Bitcoin and Nostr. The friends were making a long the way.

I am so happy this week 💜

Thank you 🙏🏼😊


Why did they even implement this?


Beautiful design! Any idea what's the black thing infront of that TV? 🫣


I did the staircase thing also in the mid 90s to annoy my parents. I was turning the TV off. I thought it was hilarious 😂 they didn't enjoy it that much. Thankfully I didn't hurt myself but now thinking back, the same could have happened to me. These TVs were working like donkeys! Made to last


Do you remember the TV sets from the 1970s? I wasn't around and I wonder if you would like to share them with me for my uni project. I want to make it more personable instead of just googling 70s television sets. Feel free to share models or photos in the comments 😊

Any stories you remember or know from that era are also welcome!

Oh wow! I didn't know that there were only 3 channels. Thank you for sharing ☺

I love the feeling of the sketch and the colour too. Its more muted than the reference but you still made a great sketch in my opinion. This is great as a study

Sorry, but I disagree.
Traditionally, art is seen as an expression of human intentionality and creativity. A human artist creates works to communicate emotions, ideas or to explore concepts. AI, in contrast, generates works by following algorithms and preset patterns. It has no consciousness, intentions or understanding of what it is creating. From this perspective, some argue that art requires the intentionality of a conscious creator and, therefore, AI-generated art would not be art in the traditional sense.

There are a lot of hardcore bitcoiners here. Some are very OG (12+ years in btc).

You should absolutely come and visit.

This supermarket was the first one in the world to accept btc unless anyone can find another supermarket accepting btc before 2018?

I was trying to keep this location secret to do a big reveal on a youtube video but I think a lot of you guys are anti youtube (and I get it) so here ya go.

GM Nostr! Here is another one of my favourite photographs and the story behind it.

It is moment like these that make me love hiking and camping in the wild. The solitude and time to reflect. Just myself alone with nature. It is raw, at times it is tough, just as tough mentally as physically, but most of all it is beautiful. This photo is taken at sunset by my camp for the night on the shores of Lake Cochrane in the heart of Chilean Patagonia.

I have seen YT videos about this. That was a really good course! What I'll be doing is more broad I believe as the focus is to be able to enter into the majority of the industry as a generalist. I guess we'll see at the end of 2 year course.

I think the FZD closed its doors. I don't think they are taking anymore students onboard. You got in the right time 🚀


It's called SAE. How was your experience btw? Similar degree/course or something completely different?


It will be an adventure for sure! 💙


In less than 2 weeks I'm starting a university course 🫣
I love art, this is very obvious... What I'll be doing though will push me out of my comfort zone for sure!

I'll be studying Game Art and Animation

What does that include? Hmm.. a bit of everything, I guess?

Fundamentals of 2D (I'm at a good level with that)
Fundamentals of 3D (I'm clueless!)
Maya, Houdini, Unreal Engine 🤯

Just wish me good luck and an engaging tutor! Being a mature student is a blessing, not a disadvantage.

The Cock Inn sounds so wrong. I would rather send the location than say it out loud 🤭🫣


Not a problem at all. There are articles talking about fruit and honey in carnivore and animal based diets. It's worth a read.


I figured... I had exactly the same issue! Add some honey in your diet. It helps with the cramps.


Is your sugar intake extremely low by any chance?


Do you fancy going to the pub today? I've heard The Cock is a great place to go. 😅

English pub names make me giggle 🤭

For years, I was a silent creator, my art unseen, my voice unheard.

But now, on Nostr something beautiful is happening: my art is finding its way into the world, carried by the hands of those who believe in both my vision and the power of the new.

My paintings, once overlooked, are now being embraced thanks to Bitcoin.

It’s a journey from the shadows into the light.

Proof that creativity, when intertwined with innovation, can break boundaries and create something extraordinary.

Thank you all 🫂🎨

I've been hearing and seeing a lot of people talk about 'not selling your bitcoin, ever' and although I do agree with that, I see it a bit differently.

Bitcoin follows a Power Law (can be found through out nature, and even cities; I recommend reading Geoffrey West's  book "Scale"), and if you understand that, you can then multiple your coins by selling a portion (or all) at the tops and buying back in at the lower deviations. https://m.primal.net/KfWM.png

Many of this comes from years of trading exprience, but most recently from joining the Scaleinvariant Discord group with Giovanni Santostasi. It's a wealth of knowledge that can be helpful for those that want it.

That being said, it is a good time to stack some more sats! Looking to retest the lower 50k range again before we take off for the bull run.

#bitcoin #btc #stacksats


Huh! I never thought of it this way..


That's awesome! I used to trade Forex but paused as I needed my sanity back 😅 I started trading in 2019 on and off. Reading charts is much easier to my psychology than trading. Regardless, I still find trading extremely fascinating


I didn't know you're into trading as well!


That's a bit big 🤣

Have you ever heard of the "ugly phase" during an art session? This is what it's referred to.

The phase were the artist is about 20-30% done and the artist suddenly reaches a point were can't move past, as the vision of the artwork is gone. How to get past this? Work on another artwork or leave it until the next day.

To complete an art piece is more complicated than most people think...
Here is my ugly phase btw.

Half of the comments think I'm talking about apps, and the other half understand what I'm really talking about because they've had to buy a washing machine post 2015.

That said, I do also despise the "subscription everything" bullshit. Ran into that today. I'm just about sick of paying for ridiculous subscriptions just to use an app one fucking time. Or having to sign up and remember to cancel when I'm done, which inevitably means they take two months of pay from me before it registers that i forgot to go back and cancel it.

The pirate bay is coming back

This is a 20”x20” canvas I ordered from CanvasChamp (India).  The printer I would give a B for quality - not perfect up close but perfectly fine from normal viewing distance, I’m satisfied for the price of $22.  Still waiting on the 6mm acrylic print (the canvas was for the hunting lodge, but since it’s all I have, it’s in the house now.). $100 trillion note for scale🤣

Wow!! That looks incredible! 😍


Can't agree more with you


Beautiful! 💙


Remember the famous "follow for follow"? I think they are trying to do the same here, but #nostr all about providing value. That's how I see it. If one is not providing value, then what's the point to follow? To see what exactly? No notes? 🤔


I really don't get the people that complain that they don't get followers on Nostr because there is no algorithm.

I never got any followers in any of these platforms with algorithms (even though I used them actively for years), except when by some unexplicable hit of luck some people started using @lntxbot on Telegram and by word-of-mouth it got to Alex Bosworth and he mentioned it on tweet and then my follower count slowly grew from 50 to like 5000 over a 3-year period.

Is there a magic trick that allows you to go from 0 to 100000 by gaming the algorithm these days and then scam your followers a high-ticket course about how to get followers and become a millionaire? Or what are these people talking about? Why do they even want followers in the first place?


Photos are energy - my fellow empaths can understand this statement and people who get moved by photos can relate as well.

I recently lost my dad, and I just saw a photo of my cousin. I blinked twice, scrolled down to take a breath, as I couldn't look anymore. I really felt his energy on that photo, being with my cousin. It's a very intense feeling to know without actually seeing anything there. We see through our 3rd eye some say... Seeing, knowing with our eyes wide open.

When we slow down and give our full attention to our being, our natural gifts emerge from the ashes like a phoenix. That's what I think. Who does that though? The general population (myself included) is working to put food on the table. We are all trying to make a difference and break from that fiat cycle. Fiat is a handler like the hospital providers are. Always following them no matter what, until you see them for what they truly are in your life. Controllers. Not letting us break away, not letting us escape, controlling our lives.

Whatever your reason for breaking away from the system, I'm with you. The change will be tremendous in everyones lives, not just in a monetary way.

#empath #thoughts #control #fiat #energy


I learn new skills very fast. I learn different drawing skills and different mediums. Recently I started learning how to restore stone houses, off grid stuff, farm stuff... I don't know if I'll ever need it but hey! I'm a generalist in that sense. 🫣


Yeap... I can relate to this. Many empaths even treat physical sympathy in their energetic field or find the source of their symptoms.


That's amazing! So proud of you! 🚀

Provide value and interact in a genuine way. You can get discovered on the global feed. Use hashtags too for your notes. My comment earlier was not targeted at you btw. Let me just make this very clear. Nostr just works different from the other apps like IG for example. This is what new users don't understand. I've been here for over 1 month and I'm still learning everyday. Have a lovely evening anyways 💙


Cheese and black forest ham

If you have a more clear idea of what you're looking for add it to the prompt. For example, open mouth laughing, eyes slightly closed or even if it will be a vector style. I bet you'll have fun with this and I can't wait to see what you have in mind 🚀😊


Nothing crazy... AI decided to give you a hard time it seems 😅
Try to rephrase it maybe. Purple ostrich head in cartoon style, funny

Happy Monday! GM! ☕


Wow! I need to try this!


Get one for me too 😅 haven't tried it yet, but if you'd be spending sats on it, it must be worth it


Your photos are screaming "LIFE GOALS" right there. Living your best life mate 😊 that'd truly awesome!


GM! ☀


I love this! 😍


That's a very interesting username 😅 I'm intrigued to find out why you chose it


GN 💤


Not that we had a great summer this year.. it was cold for the most part unfortunately.. Imagine seeing the first frosts in September 😳 another reason to move to a warmer country I guess 😅


It's only polite to ask you back 😊💙 have a lovely day/ night ahead!


I'm very well. How are you? 😊


Greetings from the UK 😊


Good morning #nostr 🌥
Autumn is here already!


Good morning 🌞


I sold my very first bowl 😍

It's unbelievable, as I'm learning to make bigger bowls, to receive this kind of support this early in the process!
The Green Noodle Bowl was one of the first finished pieces. Despite a heavier bottom, it's a beauty 💚

Thank you nostr:nprofile1qqsz4vch3ukmq4uez2dgknvpm0wjulkykdfjz5tnyvquq9zlypt8maqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtchmju36 Enjoy 🤗

Winter Eyes - 2020

I started my digital learning journey with this piece. This is not a photo but a painting.

I was streaming the process on Twitch at the time, not knowing if this artwork would be great or a disaster.
This took over 72h to complete as I was learning how to use my small wacom graphite tablet. First time streaming, first time using a tablet, first time attempting a realistic painting.
This is why I'm so connected to this piece. It really holds a special place in my heart 💙

There is a real lack of understanding in just how fucked up the algos are, and how much power we gain in not being manipulated by them. We could be using the internet to do something extraordinary, and instead it is being used primarily to sell us shit and keep us scared. The whole of humanity is being fed lies and distortions through centralized social media that is designed to keep everyone asleep and unaware of their real power.

Now that there is no longer gatekeepers to what can be said to a global audience we have the power to shape a real unadulterated narrative; also known as the truth. The power of censorship to have molded a false global narrative is one of the pillars of the power structure that keep people divided over petty and impractical differences that can now be shown for what they are: manipulation tactics through the algos to keep everyone disempowered. We now have the ability to reclaim our voices in a way that no one can stomp out. What is to come and the changes that are to be ushered in will surprise all of us in the most remarkable of ways.


Bitcoin Book Recommendations or Bitcoin Education videos

Please give me some recommendations on easy to consume content. I need to dive more into bitcoin, but my struggle is that many Podcasts explain it in such a difficult way that it becomes unbearable to listen to or understand.

Is anyone explaining the ins and outs like a 5 year old would? 🤔

Good morning! 🌞


Good morning world! 🌍
#GM


I was just walking down the street, coffee in hand, suddenly realizing how "normal" it all is already. Like most days, I went to a coffee shop that accepts lightning. Like most days, I paid directly with sats that someone zapped me here on nostr. Like most days, neither the merchant nor myself thought twice about it, or took a minute to marvel at what just happened.

So, allow me to do just that. Marvel at what just happened. While everyone is having a fantastically crazy time at #nostriga, uncountable people are using bitcoin in a myriad of ways. Some for savings, large and small; some for transactions, large and small; some for other stuff. Bitcoin is slowly but surely entering the world stage. Some commentators will tell you that this is good. Some commentators will tell you that this is bad. Whatever the case may be, it is unavoidable.

I see nostr under a similar light. As platform-based manipulation and censorship ramps up—which it inevitably will—the usage of nostr will ramp up too, and with it the usage of zaps and everything else that comes with it. And soon enough, buying a coffee (or breakfast, lunch, and dinner) with zap-based income will be normal. Just like it's "normal" to be an "influencer" today, or a "YouTuber" or whatnot... It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's a normal thing. Anyone can do it.

Back to my coffee. I remember when I had the "oh my god, I can live on bitcoin here!!!" experience for the first time. It was in Bitcoin Jungle, a couple of months after the initiative was launched. I stayed there for 2 weeks or so, buying the necessities of daily life with sats outright. And it worked. Flawlessly. I had zero payment failures, and was exclusively using Zeus with my own node. It was incredible.

Why is this incredible, you ask? Shouldn't stuff just work? Yes, it should. But building out the tech and the infrastructure to make it all work is BLOODY HARD. I remember the first Lightning Conference in Berlin, in 2019. Everyone came, everyone had all their channels and wallets and everything prepared, and ~50% of payments failed. For... reasons.

Fast-forward to today: I go to one of the 100+ merchants in the city that accept bitcoin, a quick tap on the PoS device & QR code scan, boom, done. Is it always perfect? Of course not. Will it get better still? 100% it will. Very soon these merchants will have NFC-enabled devices, and the tap-to-pay experience that people are used to with cards & Apple pay will be normal for bitcoin payments too. If you are in Riga right now, you'll experience this first-hand thanks to Bolt cards and BTCPay Server. It's awesome, it's open-source, and it works. And it will get better still.

We are truly living in the best and weirdest timeline; a timeline where shitposting on the internet can buy you lunch and dinner; a timeline that spawns amazing technological movements like #nostr; a timeline that, every ~10 minutes, allows for a small miracle to happen. A timeline where "magic internet money" is a normal thing; a timeline that, thanks to the magic dust of cryptography, enables anyone to speak about anything, without having to ask for permission. I'm grateful.

Thank you, Satoshi. 🙏🧡

I can truly relate to your post. I feel the same way ☺


📍Edinburgh, Coates Crescent, Gladstone Memorial
(Jan 2024)

The Greek inscriptions are taken from the 'Iliad' and are translated as:

'whose eager heart and manly spirit excel' (Book X, 1.244) and 'from whose tongue also flowed speech sweeter than honey' (Book I, 1.249)

I found this very interesting! Let me know what you think

I've just published the draft NIP to bring highly secure DM and group messaging to Nostr via the MLS protocol.

I've been studying this space for months now and after looking at a lot of different options, MLS (messaging layer security) stood out as the right way to approach solving DMs and group messages. It's highly scalable, an internet standard, and allows for graceful upgrading over time.

Done right – this NIP allows us to build extremely secure, uncensorable messaging clients that have no centralized coordinators or servers. Which is what I plan to do next. 😉

GM! 🙂


Day in my life as a manager - work for over 55h a week in hospitality. If someone would ask me what's my biggest struggle at work, my answer would be "making sure I'm managing the staff efficiently". I noticed that most managers struggle to manage staff, manage their tasks or their own time.

For me, I struggle to find my way out of this rat race of fiat, but nobody would understand what I actually mean..
I invest in bitcoin, I buy hourly, and I hope for a better future for all humanity.
Fiat controls everything until it fails.
The system is broken, and everyone sees that. When you see that millennials and Gen Z can't afford NOTHING, no vans, no cars, no trailers, no houses, reality hits you in the face.

Are we heading back to the caves like our ancestors? Expressing art on the cave walls, leaving our mark that way? I honestly don't know, but it feels like it to me.

My goal is to move away... Paint, draw, read, repeat.

Day in my life as an artist - as a lot of artists, I find it hard to make time. Full time art is a dream!
I have a vision to create an art studio where people can walk outside and watch me paint. Real life streaming if you think about it.. I don't know if it would be interesting, but I know it would be interesting to me if I was watching someone paint or draw in real life.

How much would it cost for a studio? Hmm... I don't know but I definitely can't afford it. So for now, I'll be still sharing my photos, my experiences and my drawings with the hope that I will find my people, the ones who are looking for a real connection, not the GPT way 😅

Fellow human, if you read all this, I just want to remind you that you are loved. If nobody else has told you I love you today, here is me, letting you know that I love you 💙

If we can't spread love and happiness we are screwed. With love x

💙💙💙 I'm getting close to finishing this. It's been a fun and challenging one though. I'm loving it 😍


we’re seeing a massive spike in activity on Strike right now, lots of users needing higher ACH limits, lots of users looking to reactivate their account, lots of customers placing large Private orders, etc.

if you, a family member, a friend, a colleague, etc need anything you can always just ping me here. one of the ways we differentiate at Strike is we are Bitcoiners that care deeply about Bitcoiners.

and if you aren’t using Strike give it a try, we’ve come a long way and are more than ready for this bull run. no-fee DCA, target orders, free-on chain payments, some of the cheapest fees, available in 100+ countries, and most importantly our systems were online 100% yesterday. here to serve if you need us 🫡

GM! Do what feels right for you. I'm finding myself in a similar situation, but I'm waiting for the right opportunity to move on.

Can't wait to go back! I came back home with the feeling that Italy was home. 💙


Totally! everything was a piece of work! now most things are ugly sadly...

When someone tells you that Nostr is just a Twitter alternative, tell them that our developers are literally rebuilding the Internet.

the client reached out to me for a portrait of his beloved dog which recently passed away. I work with usually 2-3 photos to get the characteristics right. Used pencil brushes and no colour was used either.

I love to travel and explore new places. I can't wait to discover more of Italy. It's a place that was truly inspiring. I felt the same was in Edinburgh (photos to be posted), and if you have been in Edinburgh, it has a lot of Italian influences. My next trip is to Spain in September and it seems so far away.....
