 I could forsee a dystopian future where everyone is allowed to say exactly what they are thinking online, but only with a digital ID.  
 People who worship NGU have nothing of substance to live for.

People who bash NGU don't have enough bitcoin.  
 There's plenty of space between worshipping and bashing 🙂 
 Trump has come out really strong against censorship. 

From my perspective his recent statements have an impact on the urgency of building nostr and also what features people might want that legacy social media can't provide. 

Similar to bitcoin, which everyone has a personal reason for using nostr so I'm curious what others are thinking. 

I'm curious to see how nostr evolves in a less strict environment.  
 I don't see any reason for Trump to notice nostr, let alone use it. 
 I wouldn't doubt that he's controlled, but his using nostr is not a deciding factor in that determination.

There are less than 20,000 daily active users last I checked.

 THE CURRENT VERSION OF BITCOIN MAKES YOU A SLAVE RATHER THAN PROVIDING ANY FREEDOM 
 Deep breaths. Time for an internet break  
 I'm not sure actually. Didn't keep an eye on it long enough to find out if it was food or tea. Too busy eating 🙂 
 Monarchy with the first and second amendments doesn't seem so bad 🙂

 He's a wealth of knowledge. Would love to see him go down the bitcoin rabbit hole. I'll have to give this a watch.

 Heading from here to India on the 19th. Will be in Pai for about a week beforehand.  
 Such a fun place to ride. I'm loving it out here.

Praying for sun tomorrow. It was a wet one today.  
 My american friends: Question - Why was abortion such a voters issue apparently? Not saying it’... 
 It's a symbolic issue. I can't wrap my head around it entirely, but it has to do with family planning, moral values, personal responsibility, individual sovereignty. Many topics are woven into this choice around birth and death, masculinity and femininity, so it's very emotional.

In addition to that there has been a tremendous amount of public discussion and propaganda involved. Potentially all connected to some sort of anti-human agenda. 

I prefer to leave that topic and all others for that matter to the individual states and I cherish human life, but I also think an outright ban on abortion will backfire in the long-run.  
 Why hasn't Coinbase gone down yet? #bitcoin 
 Need a 20% move for that to happen  
 I'm bullish 🫂 
 Trump or Harris. Who do you think pulls it off tonight?  #election2024

 I love it man. Chilling in Chiang Mai now and headed to Pai next week if you find yourself in either of those places.  
 Crazy dude! I'm going to a meetup tonight. You know about it?  
 No I haven't, but we are leaving Chiang Mai tomorrow. Will be in Pai on the 13th or 14th if you are still there I'd be down to meet up.  
 If you show up at the meetup I'll let you in the door though lol  
 Absolutely down 
 I'm about to watch Vitalik give a talk. Might have an opportunity to ask him a question. I don't know that I will. 

What would you ask him?  
 I'm glad there's someone out there to choose my side for me so that I don't have to 🫂

 Thailand for 6 days. 

I’m not a big fan of cities. 

Where do I go ? Koh samui or Phuket or so...
