 this is some of the most incredible footage I have ever captured showing people using Bitcoin

 Argentina is on the list 👀 
 (because intrinsic value doesn't exist 🤫)

 stack Bitcoin the same way the gov stacks your pension $$. Don't touch till 65...  
 GM NOSTR 🔥 Social Security is a government mandated Ponzi scheme that steals the future from the youngest workers in our economy.

https://v.nostr.build/BRkdw.mp4 
 true. this is the worst one of all because it has so much unanimous support 😕 
 Is this the first time NOSTR zaps have been captured on film being used in the real world?

https://v.nostr.build/jY3EM.mp4

Hundreds of zaps from a single post came in from around the world within one hour, and we distributed the proceeds to 40+ people at a live charity event.

 
 hand-jobs are such a simple motion. why don’t we have bladerunner-esque rub and tug joints, wit...

 💥 NEW DOCUMENTARY - NOSTR EARLY RELEASE!

We visited 4 of Peru's most isolated villages to discover hundreds of people living on a full Bitcoin standard - all powered by a non-profit organization that is revolutionizing community building in Peru.

Join @isabella and me on an 8 day journey across mountains, deserts and jungles to discover the truth behind Peru's Hidden Bitcoin Revolution!

 Full video below! Unfortunately, YouTube is demonetizing our video for background copyrighted music, so we'd REALLY appreciate any zaps V4V if you enjoyed our film here :)

 hahaha let me know what you think!!!!  
 There's a special moment in the film where we capture the first NOSTR "zap-athon" in history. 

We got 80+ zaps and distributed them to over 40 Peruvians and brand new Bitcoiners within the arena in under 2 hours.

 Also thanks for the love @orangepillapp ♥️ you guys are the GREATEST 
 Self custody is expensive. Until we can figure out how to scale it to people who are making $50/month incomes, opening and balancing channels isn't feasible for the general public.

For now, I trust custodial wallets more than I trust my bank. 
 Should we not do these charity initiatives at all until self custody is ready to scale? Should perfect be the enemy of good?  
 oh shoot!!! What is her name?  
 Good question, not too sure. I think MOTIV might be helping some of these store owners with these connections, and they may be accepting Bitcoin as an intermediary between them and the suppliers. Not entirely sure though! 
 Awww that's so nice to hear! Thanks for supporting MOTIV - they are such a fantastic initiative 
 hate me or love me, you watched.

that's all you could do. 
 gm NOSTR 🤙

Code is unstoppable, NOSTR is unstoppable, Bitcoin is unstoppable.

 trying to grow non-bitcoiners on the channel :( I haven't forgotten about NOSTR tho! We drop the 40min Peru Doc in 2 days and I might drop it on NOSTR 2-3 hours early if anybody is interested 🤫 
 the key word is EFFECTIVELY.

 internet piracy is banned / illegal too.

how's that working out? 
 kendrick x radiohead mashup is the best find of this month for me

 NEW VIDEO 🔥 Deadly Secrets of The USA Food Industry

Why does American food contain so many chemicals and additives BANNED in most other countries? And could the US government be collaborating with corporations to keep it a secret?

 if you enjoyed the video 📺, we enjoy the zaps ⚡ 

it costs a lot of sats to research + produce these and we don't have any sponsors on them yet!

let's get based 🤙 
 gm NOSTR 🌅 

hot take - if we don't adopt Bitcoin, AI definitely will 👇
https://v.nostr.build/PO080.mp4 
 guess we'll have to outbid them! 
 I ain't surprised but not sure which "conspiracy" tripped up the algo first 😂 
 Hold the fuck up.

Steak? ✅
Anti-war? ✅
Anti-fiat? ✅
Conservative gender theory? What ❌

... 
 if it makes you transphobic to believe it is a net negative to humanity/freedom to affirm gender dysphoria as objective reality through:

- experimental surgical reconstruction
- chemical castration
- imprisonment for improper pronoun usage
- hiding medical information from parents of gender dysphoric children
- denying the LGBTQ+ movement has any elements of social contagion 

then so be it. I may be a little bit transphobic ☠️ 
 "what other do that doesn't affect anyone else is none of your business"

tell that to the thousands of people that have expressed the long-held belief that there are only men & women - who have either lost their jobs, been imprisoned, or had their children taken away from the state for expressing such an opinion in the last 10 years 
 let's clarify here - I will not treat you any differently if you publicly or privately choose to believe and express yourself as a different gender than the one assigned at birth.

The moment you advocate that the law should punish those who don't agree with you is the moment you become my enemy. 
 the problem comes when the laws meet science here. law is being used to enshrine these new scientific discoveries or THEORIES as fact, when even the gender+ theorists know themselves it is all new and subject to change/evolve. 

from my perspective I have never seen a transgender person or new gender theorist speak out against draconian speech laws like the ones in Ireland or Canada's C16.

Despite me loving Bitcoin and believing it is the only form of money rooted in objective truth and not theft, it would be completely hypocritical of me to advocate the arrest or ban of any proponent of fiat money, or anyone who said Bitcoin was a Ponzi scheme.

that type of introspection, at least in the present, seems void in any of the gender theory circles or mainstream proponents.
 
 I just *personally* don't think these things are too complicated.  

When your body is dug up ~300 years from now, the amount of gender affirmation or surgery done will more than likely not be traceable - and the details pertaining to your gender will be evident from your skeletal structure as either man or woman.

I don't see this viewpoint as stoking anti-trans rhetoric. 
 
 gm NOSTR ☀️ what is the hottest thing a girl has ever said to you?

ft. @isabella 

https://v.nostr.build/M5Oxv.mp4 
 What hand symbolism? Rest assured it is only me creating dumb enough videos to get me fired from any other job 🤣 
 it took exactly 48 seconds for Tik Tok to ban this video and give my account a stroke

https://v.nostr.build/RmQq0.mp4 
 *a strike

but a stroke works too 😅 
 IMMEDIATELY. the video itself is longer than the time they took to block it

insanity 
 if you think it's bad now wait until 3 months before the US election. They are going to crack down hard

The biggest surprise will come from X users who think they are getting "uncensored" feeds because of Elon 
 there is so much more in the tank on the topic lol 
 always the same crowd.

 biggest environmental destroyers (outside the government/wars) go for the green rebrand and get government printed money as a reward in loans/subsidies

Cargill pulled the same shit and won an award for "ethical deforestation" practices
 
 I have been flagged for "misinformation" in the past (although they never tell me what specific part...), so I think when I post anything that has an audio transcript with a specific "triggering" claim IE climate change is / money laundering scheme, it just auto flags 
 I export a compressed version and then upload to http://nostr.build , then share the link here! Glad you liked the vid!

 GM NOSTR ☀️ 

Could THIS proposal end the housing crisis?

 well it's the government so they can always take any land back by force if they want... 
 Yesterday we shared a video on a $400B sh*tcoin called Ethereum.

There's an even bigger one that has fooled millions (if not billions) of people globally AND has a $3.7 TRILLION market cap:

REAL ESTATE.

https://v.nostr.build/6GdQO.mp4 
 Full video here hosted by @adam ! These will be dropping once a week, and we'll also be posting the full episodes to NOSTR soon :)

 Sure, but should every person get into debt to own one? 
 Will do! I just paid 120k sats though for 10gb for a year on nostr.build. 

Outrageous price... I paid less for direct hosting back in 2006 with Megaupload (cloud space is deflationary... or should be) 
 are you sure? i paid this and my account actually says 5GB! not even 10!

 and it says I don't have access to AI creator studio either. Probably a glitch. but at any rate - what you're offering is still not too compelling at current rate.

and also to be completely shut out of my account until I paid for the renewal (no way to see any of my previous uploads) was really uncalled for too

for the price you are charging you should be vetting these things way better. I get that it's early days on NOSTR, we're all learning and building together, and people gotta eat... 

but for creators (of which I am one of the most active on NOSTR) it's beginning to be a turn-off to pay absurd hosting fees... simple data hosting should simply not cost this much. 

the bells and whistles should be separate like AI image gen, donation page etc. for people who want those things. most of us just need a host for .mp4s 
 i probably only need 10gb so if you wanna zap the difference back that would be awesome. Hope I didn't come off too harsh but just sharing my 2 sats. still really appreciate you guys hosting all my vids here and I'll be sticking around with it for a while :) 
 I hear you bro. Your heart is in the right place. And, I’m realistic about the fact we can’t ... 
 by your logic here the most important thing a big entity could do is to educate bitcoiners to run their own nodes and understand the software.

is strike doing anything to advance this sort of education? 
 Most comprehensive video on why Ethereum (and pretty much all other altcoins) can never be "decentralized" - a must-watch!

 ANNOUNCEMENT - Kinetic Finance is winding down.

After careful consideration, I’ve decided to make the difficult choice to move my content about Bitcoin in a different direction.

Despite enjoying your interactions & feedback, something has felt off  lately about the creative process...

It’s time to hang up the hat for the Kinetic Finance channel.

… and bring on 2 new co-founders and hosts in 
@isabella
  and 
@adam

+ a team of brilliant writers and editors, and a new vision that will completely upend the Bitcoin media landscape.

 Introducing: Get Based.

https://void.cat/d/R2FuXQ2SezQ4NpPxBbkhxM.webp

A media company laser-focused on propelling visual stories of individual liberty and sovereignty into the mainstream. 
 Bitcoiners today have more media choices to get their daily orange-pill fix than ever.

Podcasts, livestreams, books, more macro analysts than you can shake a stick at.

So what’s missing in all of this? 

Stories that truly move you (and us) out of our seats.


https://void.cat/d/5xdRq432aq9GqF92MFbaPr.webp
https://void.cat/d/A6Np8yyhM3AAGkjgtumy9i.webp 
 With Get Based, we’re delivering gripping stories on sovereign, defiant individuals, and Bitcoiners through captivating and contagious new media formats that obliterate echo chambers.

Documentaries, social experiments, on-site investigative journalism, commentary shows, citadel tours, creator collaborations, comedy, travel challenges - and so much more.

How are we funding this? Let’s just say we’re spending some sats to make it happen.

But we’re also working tirelessly to create the engine of a new media approach to Bitcoin that we hope will also serve to elevate the best companies in this space to often overlooked audiences. 

Video production through our independent agency + your support and viewership will allow us to create radically authentic & groundbreaking videos that grow our tent of Bitcoiners in a way never seen before.

Welcome to the new frontier. 

It’s time to get based.
 
 yessir! we're ditching the podcast studios in search of some revolution and adventure!! so much coming right around the corner...

thank you for your long-time support of our work Derek and STAY TUNED!!! 
 The state is STEALING from you - and they think you're too DUMB to notice.

 GM, Bitcoin is only for Tech Bros.

https://v.nostr.build/nWLZM.mp4 
 Bitcoin is the perfect counter-example to "deflationary currencies mean people won't invest and build things because there is a better/safer capital return by just hoarding money".

There are hundreds of entrepreneurs, educators and early Bitcoiners that would be way wealthier in BTC terms today if they just hoarded their first BTC purchases instead of using that capital to build their businesses.

Instead, they built things THEY wanted from the world, spent Bitcoin to do it, created countless jobs, made big impacts, and likely have little to no regrets.

Wallets, layer 2 networks, decentralized communication, educational media, hardware wallets and much more.

Cheers to the Bitcoiners that spend their Bitcoin to make the world a cooler place 🍻 you know who you are! 
 Could someone help me setup a "zap splitter" or something with an LN address/LNURL, that works as a deposit address, but any incoming funds are split up evenly and auto-forwarded to 15 other LNURLs?
 
 Ooooh good idea. Gonna do this
