You’ve probably seen GreenpeaceUSA's Bitcoin report by now, and my response (if you haven't been blocked).

Here’s six things that every environmentalist, Bitcoin advocate, regulator, policymaker and media representative should know about GreenpeaceUSA.

I've had this information for over a year, but have held back on going public with it until now because there were initially signs that GreenpeaceUSA would be open to engaging with environmentalists within the Bitcoin community.

With them now blocking me from commenting on their tweets, all hope of that has now ended. So here's what I can tell you about GreenpeaceUSA, and their campaign that have not been aired publicly until now, and which may surprise you.

Firstly, some context: I’m a former volunteer environmental campaigner with Greenpeace. I once risked arrest to stand up for causes I believed in, including an anti-GMO campaign against McDonalds which was successful within 6 weeks, and hailed as an example of how creative direct action can yield fast results. One of the differences: we talked to McDonalds (something no one at GreenpeaceUSA is currently doing with the Bitcoin community).

I know a number of people in the environmental movement, and I would like to thank them for their honesty in whistleblowing on a thoroughly misguided campaign from GreenpeaceUSA from start to finish.

1. GreenpeaceUSA’s campaign does NOT have the backing of Greenpeace International. In fact, other branches have asked questions of GreenpeaceUSA’s tactics, and even said that their campaign is damaging the Greenpeace brand, and has resulted in the loss of subscriptions.

2. Within GreenpeaceUSA, there are a growing number of voices of discontent. There is a growing division between some of the younger crypto-neutral or crypto-friendly millennial in their base, and the directorship of GreenpeaceUSA

3. As we know, GreenpeaceUSA did receive a $5Million donation from Ripple’s chair Chris Larsen to run an anti-Bitcoin campaign. What you probably do not know is that within Greenpeace, several staff have questioned whether this is ethical, or in the spirit of an organization that says it relies only on grassroots funding in its sign-up pledge.

4. Some members of EWG and SierraClub, particularly younger members, were not enamoured with their organization’s collusion with GreenpeaceUSA’s “Change the Code” campaign. EWG has not engaged in anti-Bitcoin rhetoric since 6 April ‘23.

5. The head of GreenpeaceUSA’s “Change the Code” campaign has stepped down and is no longer any part of GreenpeaceUSA. At the time of his stepping down he was reported by a source within GreenpeaceUSA to be questioning the wisdom of the campaign.

6. Within GreenpeaceUSA, we know from multiple inside sources that the Change the Code campaign has been widely acknowledged to have been “not particularly successful”. GreenpeaceUSA’s campaign got off on the wrong foot right from the start, by antagonising environmentalists within the Bitcoin community, such as me. Here’s its half-time report (TL;DR, the worst performing environmental campaign I’ve ever witnessed). https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/greenpeace-environment-attacks-help-bitcoin… Now, the campaign is in more disarray than ever, resorting to tenuous ad hominem attacks against Satoshi Action, based on the discover that one of their supporters is a climate denier. True. Well, guess what: one of their supporters is also a plant-based, tree-hugging, climate-activist & meditation teacher: me. That’s the beauty of Bitcoin: it pulls people in from across the political spectrum: we are as diverse as society itself, and that’s what makes us strong. As I wrote recently, “when the ship you’re standing on is sinking: it doesn’t matter if you’re on the left of right side of it.”

I hoped GreenpeaceUSA would end their anti-Bitcoin campaign before their credibility and relevance to the new generation of millennials they are currently disenfranchising is completely severed.

But it seems at the moment they are more intent on doubling down on misinformation. Their leadership must change for them to ever have hope of becoming a true voice for the environment again.


This is a very accurate meme 😂


There’s an Alien remake coming out??? Exciting because it brings back memories but I’m always disappointed by remakes 😅

# Nostr is not decentralized nor censorship-resistant

Peter Todd has been [saying this](nostr:nevent1qqsq5zzu9ezhgq6es36jgg94wxsa2xh55p4tfa56yklsvjemsw7vj3cpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5qy8hwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddaksz9rhwden5te0dehhxarj9ehhsarj9ejx2aspzfmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82cspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmnyqy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfnsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wspzpn92tr3hexwgt0z7w4qz3fcch4ryshja8jeng453aj4c83646jxvxkyvs4) for a long time and all the time I've been thinking he is misunderstanding everything, but I guess a more charitable interpretation is that he is right.

Nostr _today_ is indeed centralized.

Yesterday I published two harmless notes with the exact same content at the same time. In two minutes the notes had a noticeable difference in responses:

![](https://blob.satellite.earth/53b3eec9ffaada20b7c27dee4fa7a935adedcc337b9332b619c782b030eb5226)

The top one was published to `wss://nostr.wine`, `wss://nos.lol`, `wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com`. The second was published to the relay where I generally publish all my notes to, `wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com`, and that is announced on my [NIP-05 file](https://fiatjaf.com/.well-known/nostr.json) and on my [NIP-65](https://nips.nostr.com/65) relay list.

A few minutes later I published that screenshot again in two identical notes to the same sets of relays, asking if people understood the implications. The difference in quantity of responses can still be seen today:

![](https://blob.satellite.earth/df993c3fb91eaeff461186248c54f39c2eca3505b68dac3dc9757c77e9373379)

These results are skewed now by the fact that the two notes got rebroadcasted to multiple relays after some time, but the fundamental point remains.

What happened was that a huge lot more of people saw the first note compared to the second, and if Nostr was really censorship-resistant that shouldn't have happened at all.

Some people implied in the comments, with an air of obviousness, that publishing the note to "more relays" should have predictably resulted in more replies, which, again, shouldn't be the case if Nostr is really censorship-resistant.

What happens is that most people who engaged with the note are _following me_, in the sense that they have instructed their clients to fetch my notes on their behalf and present them in the UI, and clients are failing to do that despite me making it clear in multiple ways that my notes are to be found on `wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com`.

If we were talking not about me, but about some public figure that was being censored by the State and got banned (or shadowbanned) by the 3 biggest public relays, the sad reality would be that the person would immediately get his reach reduced to ~10% of what they had before. This is not at all unlike what happened to dozens of personalities that were banned from the corporate social media platforms and then moved to other platforms -- how many of their original followers switched to these other platforms? Probably some small percentage close to 10%. In that sense Nostr today is similar to what we had before.

Peter Todd is right that if the way Nostr works is that you just subscribe to a small set of relays and expect to get everything from them then it tends to get very centralized very fast, and this is the reality today.

Peter Todd is wrong that Nostr is _inherently_ centralized or that it needs a _protocol change_ to become what it has always purported to be. He is in fact wrong today, because what is written above is not valid for all clients of today, and if we [drive in the right direction](nostr:naddr1qqykycekxd3nxdpcvgq3zamnwvaz7tmxd9shg6npvchxxmmdqgsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8grqsqqqa2803ksy8) we can successfully make Peter Todd be more and more wrong as time passes, instead of the contrary.

The Oppenheimer soundtrack is absolutely elite


IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

It just reoccurred to me (in the bath 🛀) that nostr:npub18kpw3akvdsyk239lx0jgwksr74sq4nlha3r8u9g2rnrhztfpfhysy469c4 is a mf LEGEND for sending out all this free shit for the plebs to slap around town

It’s not just good designs, it’s a huge effort to print and ship and promote these things, not to mention the informative and dare i say sexy websites those QR codes send you to

IN CONCLUSION

Zap that mfer 🤌


Leaving Madeira and making my final transaction to close off my experience in this up and coming #bitcoin  hub for #BitcoinAtlantis⚡

This taxi driver had been tipped multiple times in sats this past week and he already used it to buy coffee and bread at a local bakery 👌 https://image.nostr.build/4713c5d0ab976cc7a2f374a044e0ece8d358ec7c552cc0cd940b4011c169a6c3.jpg


lol agreed!


Keep it up, Whitney! 🫡💜


She does


We all need it! 🙌


My early thoughts on the Madeira conference: the growth in the presence of families was absolutely the most tangible difference. We saw wives, dads, babies, and even a couple of dogs! Michael Saylor singled out families as a class of Bitcoin users, and highlighted preserving family businesses and VALUES with Bitcoin. Bitcoin is becoming a family affair.


Remember, Nostr loves Proof of Work. That means you don't need to be a developer to build on Nostr. You just need to interact, engage, and/or create content. Bring back true human interactions. You'll love it.


The message shouldn’t be “we need more women in #bitcoin”

It should be “more women need #bitcoin”


Sick design! 🤙

haha no sass this time


That makes me really happy to know 🥹 Thank you for the support and I hope to cross paths at another conference soon! 🫂


I love being around bitcoiners 🧡

The energy is always positive and you spend more time thinking about ways to make the world a better place than complaining about all kinds of problems.


You’re okay, I guess.

It’s an incredible place!

True!!


Someone on Twitter said they look like ents and I had to Google it 😅🙈

I have watched LOTR though! And I 100% agree

Thank you for your support! 🥹 I hope you enjoy your swag!

Also, don’t give up. Try to orange pill some business around the city!


It’s the only way


It is! It’s called Maia coffee and they’re great! They open again on Monday AND they’re gonna be selling their coffee during the conference!


Two double espressos paid for in #bitcoin 🤌

So happy to be in Madeira 🧡 https://image.nostr.build/d9ac851382703bfe4ce11d115fca649bc0eb12e355b78c4169e5b5f8c063e04a.jpg


8 months ago, I discovered Nostr when Torba (Gab's Founder) was making fun of a screenshot of nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m's tweet talking about decentralized social media. 8 months ago, I deleted my Gab after 15 minutes on Nostr 🤣 🤣 🤣

Kinda crazy how much I've learned from ya'll in such a short amount of time. Went from a guy who had been doing this bitcoin thing for a couple years by himself, not even knowing that bitcoin had something called 'layer 2', to now doing what I can to contribute to open-source non-custodial lightning projects.

Best way to explore a new city! Everything is walking distance in European cities, which I’ve come to appreciate over time.


😂😂 fair. That was the old me when I lived here.


I have the same exact picture. Such an incredible view 😍

Can’t wait to be back there in a couple of days!! 🙌


7 years?? Wow. Enjoy your new trips!!

As someone who’s been a victim of it, I hate the US immigration system 🙃


Hitting 10k daily steps is a piece of cake in Europe.


Literally


Same! I didn’t get it at first lol


I get it but it costs them their identity :/


Same 😭


Their loss, our gains 🤷♀ Told him to be careful and go bitcoin only instead


I know! Never thought I’d meet a worldcoiner in the wild 😅


Unfortunately, yes! 😬


It was painful to hear 😖


Same, good question lol


My man had a conversation with his barber here in Portugal about #Bitcoin…only for the guy to show him his World Coin stack 🥲


GM and PV 🤙


lol he always disappoints me when he talks about Bitcoin


Great to hear! Keep it up 😄


Checking in on #nostr now that Twitter is wild and a bit overwhelming.

How’s everyone doing? Hope you all started your year right! 💜


Aaah so good to hear! 😍

Me alegra que esté contenta con el regalo 😊


LOL true true


I do drink mates but only when my Argentinian family is around 😅 not often enough!


Lesson learned! Stick to my 2 a day or less and manage my stress levels better! 😅


Four.

I usually drink 2 a day (or 1 coffee and 1 tea), but the added stress definitely didn’t help.


LOL true

I usually only drink 2 coffees a day or 1 coffee and one green tea. I went a little overboard this time 😅


First time experiencing a caffeine-induced panic attack and I hated every minute of it 🥲

How can something so delicious do you dirty like that sometimes?


Hope you all enjoyed a Merry Christmas, nostriches! 💜🎄⚡

I only asked Santa for more sats and I got them, so it was a successful day for me 😊


Just seeing this.

Thanks for sharing nostr:npub1rzg96zjavgatsx5ch2vvtq4atatly5rvdwqgjp0utxw45zeznvyqfdkxve and thanks for the support nostr:npub1a3um269aaf3u5cy37kuykrrrnsg2pyv7za06pxjduv25lq5sdujs2qmdj6 💜💜


Very sweet of you to say! 💜 I hope you’ve been enjoying your weekend!


relays are free speech megaphones in cyberspace

gm nostr 🙂


Haha unfortunately I can't go right now, so I'm here daydreaming about it 🥲


😂 thanks but I'm not going


If only!


Can't. Duty calls!


I wish I had the time or the mountains nearby to do it 😅


What a beauty 😋


Love it! I kinda want one 😆


Feeling the sudden urge to go camping in the mountains and hide out for a few days with no phone, no laptop, and a couple of books.


Thanks Piriya! I’m very much the kind that goes the natural route instead of using meds, but I agree that one should always prioritize sleep. I’m feeling better but I’ll keep in mind those tips!

I just got back from my long trip so maybe it’s my body finally reacting to all that change 😅


Beautiful shots 🤌


One of the annoying parts of being congested is not being able to breathe well through your nose and having to turn into a mouthbreather at night.


Far right libertarian 😂 I’m surprised they left out “extremist”


Milei is all for the free market and against legal tender laws, so don’t expect Bitcoin as legal tender. But he wants to take down the central bank and cut down public spending.

It’s gonna be a huge challenge, especially since half the country is still very supportive of the welfare state, but at least he got elected so… 🤞 one step at a time!


Milei is not for legal tender laws. He supports the free market and freedom of currency. But either way, I hope he follows Bukele’s steps in bringing positive change for the country!


I usually never care about elections but Argentinians just elected the first ever anarcho capitalist president in the world so I’m feeling finally hopefully for my country 🥲


I grew up on tons of milk, meat, empanadas, and candy lol

To think that I was vegetarian for 5 years a while ago 😂


So true. Great words! 🙌💜


Half Argentinian half Italian 😄


Major win for Argentinians! 🙌


Argentina just elected the first anarcho capitalist president in history.

Finally feeling some hope for my country 🇦🇷🧡


I freaking hope so


Perfection 👌😂

There's honestly nothing more cool than decentralized money and decentralized communication. It's why we're all here. It's because freedom is cool and Nostriches are the embodiment of freedom protocols.


Thank youuu!
Worked half the day and now I’m resting 😌 I’m sure I’ll beat this thing in no time 💪


Thanks Zach 🤙🫂


Womanflu? 😂 it’s the MANflu that’s a lot of work. That one takes the cake 😌


I think so 😌


Coming down with a cold, resting on the couch while sipping on some lemon and honey tea, and watching some old Antonopulous videos to keep me distracted from the congestion headache.

So far so good 🤒


This is the way! 🫡

I’m throwing virtual tomatoes at him 🍅


Your optimism got the best of you for a minute there 😂

Don’t worry, your travels will be worth it, that’s for sure 🙌


It hasn’t even been a week since I got back from a 40 day long trip, and I’m already working on figuring out trips for next year, conferences, moving out, AND planning a wedding.

I underestimated how much work this was gonna be 🙃


I think it’s part of every bitcoiner’s journey to feel a little lonely, like nobody’s listening, like you’re the crazy one…

But once you accept that it’s not your responsibility to get people to open their eyes to the harsh reality they’re living in and to the solution that is Bitcoin, you begin to feel calm.

Once people see the peace and optimism in you while they’re sinking, they’ll start asking question. It’s all a matter of time.

In the meantime, keep hanging out on Nostr, attend bitcoin meetups and conferences and make as many bitcoiner friends as possible. PV 🤙☺


And that’s why people are happier on this platform than anywhere else 💜


Isn’t it awesome knowing none of us have been censored, canceled, shadowbanned (besides that one app..), had our accounts closed, kicked out, told what to say, been part of an algorithm scheme to take our money and attention, our vote, forced to give KYC, we haven’t been bombarded by bots, fakes and scammers, None of us. It actually feels really good when you think about it.
Congrats, nostr is working 🫂🤙🎉💜


Yeah, that’s exactly what I meant 😂🤦♀


Haha I like the way you think


You only just got back?? Oh man, you might be sad about it but I’m jealous you at least got to spend more time there.

It’s been 10 days since I left 😭


There are racist people everywhere you go in the world 😂

But anyway, you’re completely missing the point of my post.


I think about it every day 😅🥲


People around the world are not Japanese enough 🥲


It’s funny to see 🤣


GM & PV, Derek 🤙💜


Haha it’s funnier than anything else, luckily.

It’s nice to see people learning how zappping works and how it can be used for different purposes!


Kinda funny to see bitcoiners freaking out on Twitter about getting 1 sat ads thinking their data has been sold.

Clearly, some of them forgot they had a Nostr account 😆


For real. I missed it so much 🥹


What a gorgeous view 😍


Finally made it back home and had a home cooked breakfast, with no seed oils and the right fresh ingredients.

My stomach is happy to be back to normal  🥹


“If you bring in more than 10k USD in cash or documents, declare it! You’ll avoid 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬… Your arrival in Mexico made 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐫 and 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐫”

Nice to meet you too, Frank! Good to see you on Nostr 😄


Damn, things are not looking great for Brazil then.

It seems like in Cuba they’re using it primarily as a SoV and for remittances. They developed an amazing telegram bot where you can find someone to do p2p buying/selling instantly. They also use it to make purchases in some places but that’s not a primary focus yet.

Plus, you don’t have to disclose anything to the govt if you don’t want to. It’s bitcoin, it’s F u money 😄


Thank youuu! 🙌🫂


This would be my second appearance ever on a podcast. Feeling nervous but excited to talk #bitcoin 🧡 nostr:note1kl2mzq7c56d0tza423cgzy0w4udvgldh9hnm4kdfvgpez8a784dqvnk2t7


One thing I loved about Adopting Bitcoin 2023 was hearing about the many ongoing adoption projects around the world.

Communities in the Philippines, Cuba, Guatemala, Mexico, El Salvador, Peru & all cross Africa are opting out and choosing #bitcoin for a better future.

We’re not bullish enough 🔥🧡 https://image.nostr.build/8dc5f7e850cbad023494247efca7177d0892dffd58ab7cd4dc4172d09f6d21c2.jpg https://image.nostr.build/182fd1565aff1ab8c6b3d0aef9e3713e82c69dc08ecd4e2afe801ef6309488e7.jpg https://image.nostr.build/d6ce592d589b3c9109a1d334e043b4d9f418cc723c3bd7ccb0777ae8c328a9b8.jpg https://image.nostr.build/9c166033e188454291641a6894f78d7947b8611869f0c6de77d72dd71c8f7566.jpg https://image.nostr.build/c59196c0be1e6379e6089d0e9c84168302bf6bc9fe65942e952cddb40976bdb4.jpg https://image.nostr.build/795554deffbd2fd80cc213d9a1438ac76e7c8d5eb999024097305488550be2af.jpg https://image.nostr.build/9fd5e1de2c6927808fadf4b7bae9cf1df2a39a212e00881e03eb708d963598a2.jpg


Until the next time you do? 🤣


Ditto 😅


Yup, we’re just at that stage 👌


Met a handful of #nostriches at Adopting Bitcoin and it felt like seeing family.

That’s how early we are.

We’re a tight and crazy little bunch 💜

You should! They’re amazing just for the fact that you get to meet plebs IRL and have fun with them 🙌


Haha yes, gotta stick to short bursts of fun times and then go into isolation to recharge.

And honestly, I may be tired but I’m already excited for next year’s conferences 😂


Hahah life as an introvert! I get it. I love alone time too!


I embrace it 😂😌

I love chatting with friends and meeting new people, but my ancient self needs some down time too.


Not a week ago in Tokyo though! 😆

This is definitely why we need some downtime now. I’m past my party days 👵


YES 🫂


My social battery has been draining faster and faster lately.

In my defense, I’ve attended 4 conferences in one month, which is awesome but…a lot 😅

Can’t wait to go home and avoid human contact for at least a full day 😶


Thank you! Didn’t see it in the schedule.


My tastebuds are green with envy 🥲


Currently attending Adopting Bitcoin in El Salvador and only heard 3 mentions of Nostr, and they were by nostr:npub1h882a66p0zj5n69s2u8nfzev4f97lzfnlcej84z78p6uqxge5tpqlupz20 nostr:npub1anr0rh50qtcljgavps72dmyz76thgcv0y9txew03uq303vekqmrsly3qjz and nostr:npub1cak3t8wa5zaxe99mfrzqzt8h2hp0lvalk8agj3qmthkmrs3zvlaqyt964v

Also saw a couple of #nostriches from Japan, but overall, not as much hype as I had hoped 🥲


And less interesting 😅


Italy is very special in its own way. To think that I wasn’t its biggest fan growing up there and was happy to leave 🤣 silly teenager!


There’s literally no other country in the world like it. It really hits you when you’re there.

In case you want one too 😏⚡🤙


Thank you for the support 🥹

You should be getting it any day now! 🙌


Customer service in Japan is unmatched.

Yes, I’m gonna keep talking about Japan for days. I can’t help it 🥲


Omg, I hadn’t heard. I’m definitely gonna ask around tomorrow and let you know if I get anything! I hope those are just some nasty false rumors…


Very well said 👌 the only way WAGMI makes sense for bitcoiners


I’m IN* El Salvador right now if that counts 😅


Addictive 🤌


Give me Japan or give me NOTHING 😤😫


The national dish of El Salvador!! They’re to-die-for tortillas (similar to arepas) filled with things like cheese and meat 🤤


Seriously. Anything you experience after Japan kinda feels…lame?

MUST GO BACK NAO 😩


Finally having some pupusas 🇸🇻

Well deserved after a long, non-stop conference day! 🙌 https://image.nostr.build/51f1c24784cf19c682c44380aaa33d600ce49f29603225eed2c6d7893eabf7fa.jpg


I don’t know that it was the best given the rough 48h journey we had to endure 6h later 😂😭 but it was so much fun, I’d do it again!! 💜


Ugh, lucky you.


GM & PV 🤙


Yes. Yes, it is 🥲 The things we do for Bitcoin 😅


Still jet lagged by excited to get Adopting Bitcoin started!

Vamos! 🇸🇻🧡


Not my diet rodeo yet it never get easier. Sigh.


How dare you tell me the truth??


That was the plan! I promised myself I was gonna wake up at the sound of the alarm.

My body had different plans lol Hoping I’ll do better today!


Here for a conference. Didn’t rent a car. Was planning on going to the gym until I took that damn nap lol


I slept another 4h! That’s a win in my book haha


LOL typical 🥲


Fall back asleep? I hope so 😆


LMAO Nostr fixes it


Woke up at 4.30AM and thought I was handling the jet lag like a champ all day.

Went down for a quick nap at 4PM and woke up 5 hours later.

Now it’s almost midnight and I’m hungry. Jet lag is a biatch 🥲


As they should! 😆


Remember what we said as we took that photo instead of “cheese”?? 🤣🤣


Forgot to post this a few days ago.

Just some happy but very tired #nostriches in Tokyo at 5AM after a long night of dancing and spicy kebabs 🪩

Too busy playing around with the scanners and computer to notice the frustration in your eyes 😅


Couldn’t agree more. Every #nostrich should attend an unconference at least once! Meeting each other in person and seeing what builders are working on to grow this network is amazing.

Looking forward to hanging out at the next conference! 🫂🤙


Bahaha hilarious, though not surprising 😅 Airport security is ridiculous everywhere.


What a beast.

Wen Pablo’s Unconference?


Everything! It’s amazing.


HOW DID YOU KNOW? 😂😂😂


This is why I never use the dishwasher, even if it’s right there in front of me and I’m feeling lazy.


Efficient in every single way. No lines and very few human interactions.

The baggage drop off was super quick and easy and going through security checks was a walk in the park.


Thanks Vanessa! 🧡 See you at the next conference ☺


Likewise, Jingles! Send our love to your beautiful family 🧡


Just landed in Canada for a layover and I’m already missing the efficiency of Japanese airports.

The lines are long, the security checks are excessive, the connection process is ridiculous, and the humans are slow.

Missing you, Japan 🇯🇵


Im not hungry but I would eat that right now 😍


Staying out till 5am the night before flying out was *not* a good idea 🥲


If I don’t get my 8h of sleep I feel it for the entire day. My reckless youthful years are long gone! 😩


Seriously. I feel ancient lol
Thanks!


Thank you! Hoping to snooze for a while on the plane 🤞


I’m about to board a 15h flight and I haven’t slept at all during the overnight layover at the airport.

Feeling absolutely miserable.

How was I ever able to pull all-nighters during my school years and make sense the following day??


Sad I missed that! Would have been fun to hear him trying to justify his silly takes on various topics 🤣


Might as well try! Anything is possible nowadays 🙃


Or when he mentions his Rolex and cars 🙃


A real luxury, especially in the winter 😅


Left Japan 8h ago and already missing their toilets lol


His tweets never fail to make me eye roll 🙄


Lucky you, ladies! 🙌 I’m already missing that delicious ice cream 😩


Which of you based plebs and #nostriches owns this restaurant at the Hong Kong airport? https://image.nostr.build/a175bac29dfd4df74622b41568881bfb3c2a7523cbfb5c95629bb7fcd46215b8.jpg

I do not want to leave Japan 😭

It’s a wrap on #nostrasia 🥲 Bittersweet moment. So grateful I got to attend round two of this very special unconference.

Awesome job and thank you, team! nostr:npub1cd6syy4q0rha3kzdz2yw5782y4yj9snvzd8rcxjy6e9kldcmpeuq6dw96r nostr:npub16vrkgd28wq6n0h77lqgu8h4fdu0eapxgyj0zqq6ngfvjf2vs3nuq5mp2va nostr:npub1y67n93njx27lzmg9ua37ce7csvq4awvl6ynfqffzfssvdn7mq9vqlhq62h nostr:npub1j8y6tcdfw3q3f3h794s6un0gyc5742s0k5h5s2yqj0r70cpklqeqjavrvg nostr:npub1a7n2h5y3gt90y00mwrknhx74fyzzjqw25ehkscje58x9tfyhqd5snyvfnu nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m 🔥💜 Looking forward to the next one! https://image.nostr.build/b815b6e0cb5ba38e2d13f57f940c75f72c97e92f9476d93d0176e294ab06bb46.jpg


Love it when that happens!


Maybe? It was my first time trying it so I’m no expert at all 😅


Not sure. The lady that sold it to us pointed at two sticks and said “Kobe” and then pointed at one and said “wagyu” 🤷♀


Tried Kobe beef for the first time… is it bad that I didn’t enjoy it as much as wagyu? 😬 #meatstr https://image.nostr.build/4f767bcba20a099eb0234d6ae990ee171a92091decfed0ff3ba27eed87565f4b.jpg


The highlight for me has been meeting fellow #nostriches, hands down.

But if I had to pick one special moment that I particularly enjoyed it’d be the laidback #bitcoin meetup that we had today at the end of the conference with day with nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:npub1uvl7vhclmezvdhqha6eclkksln40rjhgwgsggvew683jf93fr4pq3mq3sd and nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m

It felt like we were having a casual conversation between friends about our favorite topic 🧡


It’s been so fun so far! Highly recommend attending an unconference in the future!


Trés bien! 👌


Wow, I just saw this 😂😭

Thank you for tonight 💜 We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our chat! See you tomorrow 😁


#nostrasia is making me so bullish on Nostr, it’s crazy 💜


Day 2 Flash Highlight  📸 🫂 #nostrasia https://video.nostr.build/e5721fe137bd7010c794370dc392ee5d48d9d0d030282dc71723e03334e5da4f.mp4


It was really nice meeting you tonight, Karnage! Thank you for coming up to us and saying hi 🙏 Looking forward to seeing you at the next conference! 😄


Omg, SAME. I’ve even said it in conversations here…at Nostrasia!! 🤣😅


You guys have been killing it! 🙌 Very grateful for all the work you’ve put on to make this happen!

You make it sound easy, that’s for sure! I like that you stay hydrated with lemon and salt. That’s how I like to start my day.

I guess I need to start working on my meditation before I reach your Master level 🙏


Admirable 🙏

I should really really consider doing a long fast one day… I’m fully aware it’s very beneficial for your health, but it’s still intimidating!


Oh my, what a beast! 🙌 Looking forward to hearing how it goes! ✊


Proud #nostriches 🫡


Proud to be an early adopter of #nostr 💜


Tell me it’s a conference in Japan without telling me it’s a conference in Japan 🐟 #nostrasia https://image.nostr.build/2725885673d1cca3d1339a6bc9399ca91e0831eb804d5609226202fc6c4bc9eb.jpg


Loving all the talks at nostr:npub1nstrcu63lzpjkz94djajuz2evrgu2psd66cwgc0gz0c0qazezx0q9urg5l so far. Great turnout and based speakers 🤙

So glad I made it to round 2 of this awesome unconference 🙏


GN fishcake! It was great meeting you tonight. Looking forward to talking more this week! ☺


We met him! He said he didn’t know of many bitcoiners in BKK and we told him about you and BOB space. Glad you guys found each other!


They both happened in October so they both count as 1sts! ☺


Took an overnight flight to Tokyo from Bali… not so energetic today! 😴😂 But excited to be here!


Too much of a zombie to run for anything today 😂


lol it took forever to get into the city 🥲


Stepped out of the train and saw this…

It’s a sign! I MUST SMASH BUY RIGHT NOW! AND SO SHOULD YOU! 😤 https://image.nostr.build/daf79c4e90216917588a220ec632457b8ad7f58172f426a157de5b333b2c48f8.jpg

We got some! White only S and XL left 😅


Love it!! 🙌


Thank youuuuuu 🙏💜


The train ride alone takes forever so be prepared for a long journey 😅 Worth it though. This city is out of this world!


Anyone? nostr:note15rkn4j37kzq9vpfuz8xeduwnj5fj5fvy5fqaq37zpekdpmasxdfsv4zaqa

Ooh good to know! Might have to check it out. Just need to get some sleep today 😅


Thank youuuu! Exhausted but happy to be finally here ☺


GM from Japan! 🇯🇵

Anything fun happening for Halloween? https://image.nostr.build/ad320f5558ac596d7300e29cd6bc7f169a882038342bf05e69e18efac0e50d1c.jpg

Thank you so much!! 🥰 Yay for celebrating engagements in Bali, am I right? ☺


Enjoy the rest of your time on the island, you guys 💜 It was awesome meeting you!


I guess I won’t be eating donuts in Japan 😐😂


Thank you so much for the support, Tendou! 🙏💜

Hope to see you at another bitcoin conference around SEA!


Thanks Vanessa! So glad we finally got to meet 💜 See you soon!


Bitter sweet moment leaving Bali after spending a month here and meeting so many awesome bitcoiners living here.

I’m excited to get to Tokyo for #nostrasia but sad this part of the adventure is over.

Still, lots of fun things to come next week! 🙌 https://image.nostr.build/0d3bea4e3b290165202a9c08c5c5c15c365ce426efe0ca3d26f55c8396a56cb2.jpg


Reminds me of Peru!


Sweet! 🙌 A few sizes are already missing so if you want me to save you specific ones, let me know! Or find me at the conference 😊


You can try an XL! Looser fit might it might work 😅


Will keep my eyes open for that 👀


Get them to acknowledge the issues they’re facing (eg. inflation or banking issues) and then hint at them how Bitcoin fixes it. I usually don’t hammer them with it though. I try to get them curious enough for them to want to learn more about it. Then I usually suggest reading the Bitcoin Standard or listening to podcasts/YouTubers.


One 85k zap ⚡


Sats are always preferred ⚡⚡💜


Thank you! 🙏


Thank you, Yutaro 💜


I just double checked. Only have XL and S left 😭 But we have one last large in black!


Thank you! We did 😄


#Nostrasia friends! I’m gonna bring a very limited supply of these tees to Tokyo. If you want to secure one, hit me up or find me at the event.

We sold out of them at the Bali conference and had to source more 😅💜 https://image.nostr.build/e80d52ebf07f74d31239b659333b4b4329266fdeaac122e4f0ca1b319f5c60ad.jpg https://image.nostr.build/7d38f536393fde4a05af77eff885c806c3d711a567d31fa601a42777592450b5.jpg


Bitcoiners know 😎


Currently at the Indonesia Bitcoin Conference and yesterday someone asked me what “sats” means 🤭

It’s good to see lots of newbies coming here from different parts of the world to learn about #bitcoin 🧡 https://image.nostr.build/3d55c16b882cf49ad27a84857358e2dc51441e59497a7e6c56831aaaf5688cd3.jpg


Just tested out this new PoS system by LifPay which we’ll get to use tomorrow at the conference’s bazaar to make #bitcoin payments smoother.

It’s so fun, I want one to play with at home 😂 https://image.nostr.build/e8f8ef87d0c7932e6c4dcdbbafec72b02411b1102456ff98f69ffc3e9045cb76.jpg


It really was 🤤


The Grumpy Butcher 🔥


YES


GM & PV, Derek! 🤙


Wish everyone looking at this picture could try it!

Heck, I wish I could have it again right now! 😂


Impossible


Yeah, and the place is listed as the best steakhouse in this part of Bali 🙃


Just had the best meal I’ve had in a while.

A BBQ platter with: brisket, pork ribs, sausage, chicken skewers, corn on the cob, and a side of mac & cheese. Plus, an amazing burrata.

All for $37 🔥 https://image.nostr.build/1bf0caf1de1edd26eb002d14db14308b455059ddca314440479c184dbea96e64.jpg


Maybe. Some people just don’t care to look beyond what they already know.


That’s what we did. No point in wasting time on people who don’t want to open their eyes.


My thoughts exactly!


Mentioned the Bitcoin conference in casual conversation at the gym today.

Dude said his buddy told him to buy some sats yesterday because “we’re set to rally for the next six months” and to sell it in March.

Tried to convince him to buy and HODL instead. Said “I already have a good business. Don’t have time for it. Plus, it could die soon.”

HFSP, pal.


SO GOOD! I can’t wait for the next season! 😩

Haven’t read the books but I hear they’re great


Good luck! Hope to see you next week!


OMG cutest thing I’ve seen today 😍😭😭😭


Big achievement! Inspiring ☺ Congratulations 🧡


I know! 🙌


I’m pleasantly surprised, I must say.
Waiting to see how it goes during the conference! 🤙


Yesss 💜


Likewise!! 🙌💜

True


LMAO luckily, we’re past that!


Haha we missed each other 😩

Will have to wait and see you in 2 days!


See you soon, lady! 💜


It’s both.

People fear radical change and corruption is rampant.

Still slightly hopefully for next month 🤞


What a beautiful start to the week 😍


SEE YOU THERE 🇯🇵


Been hanging out with new bitcoiners ahead of the Indonesia Bitcoin conference and people are sharing their npubs more than their twitter accounts.

Right on, #nostriches 🤙


Yesss! Doing Bali right, you guys 🙌


GM & PV 🤙


LMAO I’ll stick to my melting and freezing routine, for sure 😆


Sauna then cold plunge, then back to sauna and cold plunge.

It’s amazing. Try it!


PV 🤙


Came here to say the same 😂


Doing sauna & cold plunge before bed is a game changer if you have trouble sleeping.

GM ☀


Oh man, such a good show. I need to rewatch it. Brings back memories. Enjoy it!


Except for toxic maxis, of course 😌


Thank you! We’re both over the moon with joy 💜

Beautiful 🤌


HECK YESSSS! 🔥🔥


The best thing about hanging out with Bitcoiners is that you get to forget about the dreadful state of the world for a few hours and feel excited about the future.

#Bitcoin is hope 🧡


Hard to be on social media these past 24 hours.

So glad we have this little corner of the internet that supports our sanity in chaotic times like this 💜 Have a good day, #nostriches 🤙


Myyyy oh my 😍


I’ve been wondering the very same thing 😆


Appreciate it 🙏


Thanks Daniel! 🙏 Means a lot!


Wish I could give you a hug right now lol 🥹

Thank you! 🙏


No way!! What are the chances!! So sorry you’ll miss it ☹ It’s not gonna be the last one though, so you’ll have another chance to attend.


Welcome to the world of Nostr! This conference is in Tokyo Nov 1-3!


I sell them in my store. Shared the link in the comments 😊


That’s a shame! Would have liked to meet you! Piccolo from BKK said great things about you 😊


There’s plenty to go around 😄


Very kind of you to say 🥹

I might bring some to Tokyo in case anyone wants to get them in person!


Thanks! 😄


Love it! 💜 Thank you 🥹

I hope you claimed your sats! ⚡


Yesssss! 🙌 Love it!

I hope so too for you. Also, I hope you claimed your sats ⚡


Oh then I might see you in January! 🙌 Will  be fun to finally meet Nostr friends in person 😄


Thanks fren! 🫂


Thanks Derek! 🙌 Am I gonna see you in Tokyo??


😂😂 there are worse things than getting mistaken for a big time bitcoiner online! 💜


Haha it happens 💜😆


Means a lot coming from you guys 🙌💜


Thaaaaaank you 💜


Different Carla 😆


I miss HK. I’m sure it’s gonna be fun! 🤙


Thank youuu! 🙌


😂😂😂 thanks Laser!


Yessss! Will see you there! 🙌


My sweet tooth is screaming right now 😩


Not sure it’s up to their level but thanks for the kind words! 🙌

Here’s the link:

https://hodlingapparel.com/products/nostrasia-t-shirt

You get 3% back in sats when you pay in #Bitcoin 😄


Thank you, fren! 😁


I did a thing… who’s going to #nostrasia?? 😄 https://image.nostr.build/a3aed744b16b153d8c5b807d56a8a35e9a9ffb8e93318863d0aa22fdfb9629d2.jpg


No way! Me too! 😝🔥


Today, I tried a 39F cold plunge and I thought my libs were gonna fall off. Omg. 🥶


And Botox! The idea of injecting a neurotoxin in my body is very unappealing to me 😬


Nothing beats jet lag like sun, grounding, and a good session at the gym ☀🤙


I haven’t been to O’Hare but every experience in a US airport has always been incredibly stressful and dreadful.

At this airport, I haven’t interacted with a single immigration agent and going through security literally took 40 seconds (didn’t take anything out of my bag!). I love it.


The Singapore airport is ELITE 🤌

Not only is it extremely clean, luxurious, and with lots of green spaces inside, the process of going through immigration and security is so easy, it actually makes you enjoy the travel experience.

Can’t say the same about European airports, let alone American ones!


Indonesia Bitcoin Conference 😁


A bitcoin only exchange is always preferable and needed.

I hope BtcTurk doesn’t rug its customers 🙏 Just gotta make sure to always self custody your sats!


Not sure but that would make even more sense.


Don’t trust, verify! 😂


And thirsty for money.


Was wondering how did BtcTurk have so much money to plaster the entire Istanbul airport with ads and then I learned it’s the 4th largest crypto exchange in the world 😅 So it’s like the Turkish FTX https://image.nostr.build/3a8c7bc831ad01d149a68439425e26736cb5f2df7d8e3fa52fbb0ad27d06618e.jpg https://image.nostr.build/af659d0ffa37bedfc656fbe72ade18f87d08cf7063d859b8ec18ee90473b06d7.jpg


I envy those who have the ability to fall asleep with ease on a plane 🥲


GM & PV 🤙


Hope you have a good day, Joy! ☀


Colorado? That looks AMAZING 😍


That’s a great accomplishment! Congrats! 🙌


Mexican beaches 😌👌


Happy Sunday, nostriches!

Don’t forget to stack sats and do some grounding ☀ https://image.nostr.build/e2bc65e95586aca8f9de521b0c4b94d43f32a49cddce4ef02dd48f3112e92563.jpg


Nice, planning ahead! Is it gonna be a notorious bitcoiner, economist, or surfer? 😝


You’ll be surrounded by the right crowd! Bitcoiners might throw something at you though so be careful 😆


Same! Need to come up with something creative but that doesn’t require much because it needs to fit in my already full suitcase 😅 I’m sure you have the same dilemma!


Nostrica’s halloween party just got more interesting 😂


To everyone going to #nostrasia, what are y’all gonna dress up as for Halloween?

You can’t say a nostrich 😆


Add lemon and you’re golden 🤌


HOW?? That’s insane. I don’t get how’s that physically possible to handle all that junk every week!


It was indeed 👌


Update: We got a beefy lasagna and a lamb pasta bolognese (not pictured). We enjoyed them both. The meat was juicy.

The water was an excellent vegan option though. 5 stars. https://image.nostr.build/040b8183c0ceabe1b178fed41420b5909812e8fd0db608c67c5973542bfb2e00.jpg  nostr:note1gvy7876a62hre0f08st2ufp346fk4032fe853ucxfswl3j37yt9q3x0djk


I enjoyed it! Very cute, little Italian place.


Terrorists 😂😂😂 100% agree!


90% are probably the same


That’s the plan 😂


That’s the sad part of it all: they vote for detrimental policies, they don’t like the results, and then they move abroad but without reflecting on their choices and opinions. They bring their nonsense everywhere they go. It’s frustrating.


Looking for a dinner spot for tonight.

Found an Italian place and scrolling through the reviews I found this gem 😂 https://image.nostr.build/aca246de2d9de045b8f5f82f93554f8e3f1f17268679255edc860427ef96df05.jpg


I can’t help but laugh at those ridiculous opinions.


Exactly! If we all had that same thought process, we wouldn’t get very far in life.


I don’t know enough about it tbh, but I do know it’s often misunderstood.


I bet they’ve seen one in a random place and made the call: ALL Americans are bigots and I can’t live there. 🙄


I get that you’re likely to see them in some corners of the country, but you can’t judge an entire nation based on that. It’s a very ignorant take imh


Had casual chit chat with a retired couple at a lunch spot.

They were Canadians and moved to Mexico two years ago. They would have moved to the US if it wasn’t for “all the Trump supporters and all the confederate flags seen around” 😂

I’ve been to the US many times and never seen either.

I just smiled, nodded, and left soon after.


Yesss! 🙌 This is what I wanted to hear. Keep up the DCAing, fam 🧡


Bitcoin is a great way to get called an idiot and a genius by your friends and family on a predictable schedule.


😂😂😂😂 this couldn’t be more accurate


That’s always the case 😅


I hope the same for other bitcoin ladies 😆


Am I the only one with a man who thinks more about Bitcoin than the Roman Empire?


Literally. Some of the guys play ball weekly! 😄


Hi pretty lady! 👋


Perfection 🤌


Your dad sounds based! Reminds me of my FIL.

Good job on orange pilling him!


Only those who knew what happened in 1971 could have predicted this 🥲


What started on a basketball court with a bitcoin t-shirt, lead to a cafe owner deciding to accept bitcoin, which eventually turned into a weekly #Bitcoin  meetup spot.

I love this community 🧡 https://image.nostr.build/1512ccc18e7e523850354caaa1f05c939dfdbfc52a3b6b492c6c1b374b13a013.png


Thank you! Seems like Bitso, from what I can see. Will keep looking!


We’re both dealing with victims of inflation, I see.


Trying to figure it out


I’d much rather use sats too, but I don’t know how the receiver could then convert them without an exchange. No place to use them locally either.


Anyone here that has experience sending money to Argentina via Strike?


Yesss great idea! Gotta make it happen!


Find a local meetup or maybe even start one! Or attend a conference! Hanging out with normies too much isn’t healthy 😆


Find a local meetup or maybe even start one! Or attend a conference! It’s worth it 😊


Plebs gotta stay close with fellow plebs 🧡


Gotta find a local meetup or at least attend a conference. It’s worth it!


I feel sorry for the people who don’t have bitcoiner friends to hang out on a regular basis.

I hang out with them more often than with my normie friends 😅


LMAO you had me very confused for a second there!


And with the upcoming updates, it’s only gonna get better 🙌💜


Pretty decent, ngl


Luckily I’m at the perfect distance to enjoy it safely 🙏 Nature is metal ⚡


My notifications never stop 🥲


You the man 🤙💜

Starting the day with a banger 🔥

GM & PV, sir!


3 days ago it hit 100k downloads in 3 days. Not sure about the number of users if we include the ones that were set up in beta. Impressive nonetheless.


Thank you! Found a few plebs I was missing on my timeline 😄


Nostr starter pack

If you’re new to Nostr (regardless of which client you use — Damus, Snort, Iris, etc.) it’s helpful to follow a few quality/active accounts to get a feel for how it all works and to find conversations you can participate in.

Since a lot of apps don’t have good discovery hubs I thought I would write a note for people who are new here to help you find some quality/active accounts to bootstrap your feed to begin your journey.

Tap any of these and tap “follow” on the profile pages to start building your list:
