Sick fucks....we need to call them out and not let them anywhere near levers of control. Mostly women too...just facts. Is this why women were kept away from power generally?


Nah man, you have the bad take...too simplistic. Things are so tangled and corrupted, that's going to take fixing so many things to heal...that will take a lot of time. Banning big pharma from advertising is great because it will harm two of the biggest obstacles in the information war...them and big media. Should we allow pedos to advertise for companions, I mean, come on, we can't ban things. This where libertarians become another form of libtard.

Hi


This boy SAVED the INTERNET… but couldn't save himself.

10 years ago, he was persecuted by his government, and ultimately paid with his life.

Aaron Swartz is a modern hero that most people DO NOT KNOW.

But they should.

https://image.nostr.build/a5163a2d322330e5853e14ddf87d1613eecbdff0e23451d9f3059d3c1e0cd723.jpg

Aaron was creative, focused, and brilliant.

At 14, he invented RSS; He dropped out of Stanford; At 19, he was in the first Y Combinator class; He co-founded Reddit.

Most likely, if he were alive today, he would be involved with #Bitcoin.

But that’s not EVEN 1% of what he did for us 🙏

Let’s take a look 👇

https://image.nostr.build/37c7dd4a0ddbad0ae5a98babc66adc4916cc4a03b13d63d0fced0e6c3e0541fd.jpg

From a young age, Aaron believed in an OPEN INTERNET. In computers as a tool for LIBERATION.

"But wait, wasn’t the internet always open?"

No.

Believe it or not, there was a time when they wanted you to REGISTER your ID before you could browse or send an email.

https://image.nostr.build/77deabc6b94e160f43a3dd1522c5dac30061ac5423e6b2e3df10162a25e8e612.png

https://image.nostr.build/960a2e8b7b518cd7f34af6d791518cdabf7b7cdc22366decc16c667cad1f727f.jpg

https://image.nostr.build/5d22d57a1ed58ce2f301d45dd09500d066c8c422039ce4c9c30eec586178fddd.jpg

He believed that PUBLIC LEGAL RECORDS and SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH should be accessible to everyone.

But in the U.S.,

• 98% of scientific articles are behind paywalls; and
• ~80% of legal records are too.

Imagine being sued and still having to pay to view the documents?

https://video.nostr.build/2af872c7a7d1b74ce0fb8d42369a87df45a7ee2d23df006d287b58ac60fcfe26.mp4

Aaron's war had 3 major battles.

The first was against PACER.

A legal records database.

PACER is PAID... but it was "free" in 17 public libraries.

With friends, Aaron wrote a script on a USB drive, plugged it into a USB port, downloaded 2.7 million documents... and SET THEM FREE.

https://video.nostr.build/21b565dd1742bc950748be2ac0e0ce2868f4b94c54d1da9321a198c49fe85d1e.mp4

No charges were made against the group.

But the FBI began to take notice.

That had only been the beginning. That boy would still challenge the system.

The following year, Aaron would enter the biggest fight of his life — and the greatest battle in internet history against censorship ✊

https://image.nostr.build/ab43c6a3d189953bfee2fdc26760e819bc9e637dce97d0c8362a36192487b0aa.png

"SOPA/PIPA" 👉 if you're over 20, you probably still remember these acronyms.

A bill to "combat piracy"... which was just an excuse for the government to shut down ANY SITE, without warning.

Some companies loved the idea.

But those who loved the internet fought back.

https://image.nostr.build/605d066f5a7cc73cf8efe620725ac19f3fa9e85b760acd9e66b6f637b6837681.jpg

And then, something wonderful happened.

We still knew how to fight against online censorship.

In a coordinated response, the biggest websites on the internet "went on STRIKE."

Wikipedia and Reddit went offline. Google turned black.

Protests also erupted in the STREETS.

But...

https://image.nostr.build/605d066f5a7cc73cf8efe620725ac19f3fa9e85b760acd9e66b6f637b6837681.jpg

https://image.nostr.build/12adaed7c7a5ce9e8ce3c0944111c45e0e311b02c14319ef31910ea3ee5c60aa.jpg

https://image.nostr.build/7a23543a1a8be95067289d830c766a4af93a321402ba1e2f53b268d660cba2fa.jpg

https://image.nostr.build/0f934d461a5491c39928a1a1bdbfbefe16cb4f70abd6e8bb54c9ee2e6621b438.jpg

... but people have short memories.

This battle was won.

However, the NEXT one would be the LAST for young Aaron.

This MIT security camera was the final straw that ruined his life 👇📹

https://image.nostr.build/e48beb62bce1cdc7554d8e602786a29969a687202f7c7e6971f9f203de3160e6.png

JSTOR was Swartz's final target: the largest database of academic papers in the world.

Aaron wrote a script to download MILLIONS of papers, over the course of months, using his MIT access, in a small room.

MIT has a rebellious culture.

But the FBI could no longer tolerate the boy's defiance.

https://image.nostr.build/0f98f712709cacd788a841186630069f9b8877bbea34374f83c529e0b29d1385.jpg

With the video evidence, the U.S. prosecution charged Aaron with 13 crimes. Up to 50 years in prison.

In January 2011, he was arrested by undercover agents near the Harvard campus.

From then on, he was legally tortured.

Two years later, he would be found dead at home.

https://image.nostr.build/0e6b2b6d4ac93cc031267d6a3ae4fdd1afbaf7154c3d1b28db144e703325eff3.png

https://image.nostr.build/94285f292eb025a91ba591bb14ac0c8739607d428a956f73eb01a7b5c2f1f360.png

"Aaron would be 38 years old today.

He was accused of 'pirating' scientific papers funded with public money.

Facing up to 50 years in prison, he took his own life.

Those he inspired continue to democratize access to science.

Let us remember him."

*These are the words of Susan, his mother.

https://image.nostr.build/cb82dfbd1b0675e53a6a24ba2b6c6c50be08b60dc315f9a3cfbf3de4ded0a191.jpg

After his death, the charges were dropped by the government.

Aaron never considered entering a 'plea deal'. He would have faced millions of dollars in legal costs.

The father of the internet, Tim Berners-Lee, published a short poem at the time that says it all:

“The world was a little worse for his passing,
But a lot better for his being.”

https://image.nostr.build/110bd2ce6b535252ecff250b6609cc6f301b906f6681c2459d375c09af2a9548.png

Aaron wasn’t a unanimous figure. You may disagree with his methods.

But he was faithful to his ideal.

He was genuine. Firm in what he believed.

He was a person who used his prodigious skills not to enrich himself, but to make the internet fairer, and the world a better place.

https://image.nostr.build/570b43a6887dfa430be76e33a416c7bbc65d05e9acf0404ae46ad1a522bf9abc.jpg

Aaron had worked with Virgil Griffith (former Ethereum, now imprisoned for "teaching about crypto" to North Koreans).

He knew Elizabeth Stark (from Lightning).

He was friends with Zooko.

And he wrote about #Bitcoin — on the DAY he was arrested (1/6/11)! 😢

Curious? To learn more about the story, start with this documentary (on YouTube) 👇

[https://youtu.be/9vz06QO3UkQ](https://youtu.be/9vz06QO3UkQ)

We’ll finish with an excerpt from the "Manifesto for Free Access," by Aaron himself:

"Information is power. But, like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves. There is no justice in following unjust laws. It’s time to come to the light, and, in the tradition of civil disobedience, declare our opposition to the private theft of public culture.

We must take information, wherever it is, make our copies, and share them with the world."

RIP, Aaron ✊

I don't think he dodged too much except at the beginning but did eventually get into a lot of the details about the political appointments. There were cringe moments,  like when he said Macron was a good guy and friend. The most bizarre for me was when Joe joked about about him playing golf two days after the assassination and Trump said he didn't remember...but the second assassination attempt didn't come up at all. That was weird. Also, when discussing releasing material about Kennedy and that, no mention of 9/11. No mention of Epstein or Diddy. Clearly some subjects are no go. Plenty material for next time.

Whenever I see statists like the ECB get upset about Bitcoin, or when I see more brazen regimes try and actually implement an all-out ban or crazy tax scheme, I turn to my favorite bit of writing anywhere on Bitcoin and remind myself that a ban is the Berlin Wall and that “fragments of any ban will one day become souvenirs of the folly”

Bitcoin is Ariadne by nostr:npub1sfhflz2msx45rfzjyf5tyj0x35pv4qtq3hh4v2jf8nhrtl79cavsl2ymqt

“Bitcoin is often framed as “competing” with fiat currency. This is true in a sense but I fear there is a rhetorical danger of invoking the wrong kind of “competition”. It is not a fight, for example. There is no conflict. Bitcoin is not trying to damage or sabotage its opponents, because it isn’t trying anything and it knows no opponents. It has no awareness whatsoever of who might oppose it or why. It is simply an alternative; an exit valve; an opt-out. It is competing only insofar as it is proving to be a far superior alternative. It is not a sword for Theseus to fight the Minotaur, but a thread to follow to exit the labyrinth. Bitcoin is Ariadne.

There will be tremendous value in normalizing this rhetoric amidst the likely growing chorus of opposition desperate to smear Bitcoin as inherently nefarious, or hostile, even. Opponents must be forced to explain what is wrong with people interacting freely, and why true goodness can only follow from coercion, in their understanding. Should those who have found a way out of the unbearable labyrinth of capital strip mining not take it? What do they owe the Minotaur?

Does anybody really believe that, having fully understood the choice they face, any individual would choose to save in a self-referentially mispriced toxic loan rather than a provably sound digital bearer asset? Or, more simply still, that they will think it makes less sense to hold money that is a pure asset than money that is literally defined as a liability? Why not opt into a financial system that is built on trustless verifiability rather than unverifiable trust?

… It is worth working through the optics of any decision to engage with Bitcoin in a truly hostile manner, because it is certainly coming. McNeill reminds us that, even some seven-hundred-or-so years ago, “the breakdown of established patterns of conduct always appears deplorable to a majority of those who witness it.” By no means do I have a utopian outlook on this subject — rather, it is something of an intellectual rite of passage to accept the nonzero utility of dystopian paranoia. Bitcoin will be banned, many times, in many places. But a ban is an open admission of practical and moral failure and is arguably the best advertisement of all. A ban is the Berlin Wall; fragments of any ban will one day become souvenirs of the folly and cruelty of repression. Bitcoin doesn’t force anybody to stay. They come, and then they stay, because they want to — because it is both practically and morally superior.”

I’m not sure if Nostr is aware of what’s going on in the #WordPress community right now, but it’s headed toward a civil war and has effects that are rippling through the entire open source internet.

If someone is capable of developing a decentralized plugin repository built on Nostr, you’d have a million developers turning their heads to look this way. This is a much larger opportunity for nostr to attract talent than any possible exodus from Twitter.

I think nostr conferences should have guest spots from communities here. Like a guest spot on permaculture, one on Meshtastic (although that can actually be tied in with nostr but you get what I mean), or ham radio. Quite nice to have a lecture on eg crabapples and universal pollinators or something, in the middle of a nostr conference.

**More fun with Chinese numbers**

Spent nearly an hour researching, writing, and formatting the post above, and it really only scratches the surface of how pervasive homophonic number symbolism is in Chinese culture.

I quickly learned these Mandarin number combinations and meanings when I first moved to Taiwan, and picked up the Cantonese ones from books and my Hong Kong friends a little later on :)

***Pulled from Wikipedia, translated from Simplified Chinese to Traditional Chinese (what I learned and prefer). It is worth noting that some of these in Mandarin are mainly used by Mainland Chinese due to regional dialects.***

#### Number Combinations And Meanings

- **48**: Any 3 digit numbers that end with 48 sounds like "wealthy for X lifetimes", for example, 748 (pinyin: qī sì bā) sounds like "七世發" (pinyin: qī shì fā) **meaning "wealthy for 7 lifetimes**".
- **167** (Cantonese Yale: yāt luhk chāt) in Cantonese sounds like "一碌𨳍" (Cantonese Yale: yāt lūk chat), which is **a vulgar way of saying "a dick"**.
- **168** (pinyin: yī liù bā; Cantonese Yale: yāt luhk baat) sounds like "一路發" (pinyin: yī lù fā; Cantonese Yale: yāt louh faat) **meaning "fortune all the way"**.
- **250** (pinyin: èr bǎi wǔ) is usually **used to insult someone the speaker considers extremely foolish**. Alternative ways such as 兩百五 (lǐang bǎi wǔ) and 二百五十 (èr bǎi wǔ shí) do not have this meaning.
- **448** (pinyin: sì sì bā) sounds like "死先發" (pinyin: sǐ xiān fā) **meaning "wealthy on death"**.
- **514** (pinyin: wǔ yī sì) in Mandarin sounds like "我要死" (pinyin: wǒ yào sǐ; **lit. 'I want to die')**.
- **518** (pinyin: wǔ yāo bā) in Mandarin sounds like "我要發" (pinyin: wǒ yào fā) which **means "I am going to prosper"**.
- **520** (pinyin: wǔ èr líng) in Mandarin sounds similar to "我愛你" (pinyin: wǒ ài nǐ; **lit. 'I love you'**).
- **548** (Cantonese Yale: ńg sei baat) in Cantonese sounds like "唔使發"(Cantonese Yale: m̀ sái faat) **meaning "no need to be wealthy"**.
- **748** (pinyin: qī sì bā) in Mandarin sounds like "去死吧" (pinyin: qù sǐ ba; **lit. 'go die'**).
- **1314** (pinyin: yī sān yī sì; Cantonese Yale: yāt sāam yāt sei) sounds like "一生一世" (pinyin: yīshēngyīshì; Cantonese Yale: yāt sāng yāt sai; lit. 'one life one lifetime') **meaning "forever"** and is often used romantically.
- **5354** (Cantonese Yale: ńg sāam ńg sei) in Cantonese sounds like "唔生唔死" (Cantonese Yale: m̀ sāang m̀ séi) **meaning "not alive not dead"**, referring to being in a miserable state like one is almost dead.
- **7414** (七四一四, qī sì yī sì) in Mandarin is like "去死一死" (qù sǐ yī sǐ), **meaning "go die" or more literally "go die and die again"**
- **7456** (pinyin: qī sì wǔ liù) in Mandarin sounds like "氣死我了" (pinyin: qì sǐ wǒ le) **meaning "to make me angry" or "to piss me off"**.
- **9413** (pinyin: jiǔ sì yī sān; Cantonese Yale: gáu sei yāt sāam) sounds like "九死一生" (pinyin: jiǔ sǐ yī shēng; Cantonese Yale: gáu séi yāt sāang; **lit. 'nine die one live') meaning 90% chance of being dead and only 10% chance of being alive, or survived such situations (a narrow escape)**.
- **5201314** (pinyin: wǔ èr líng yī sān yī sì) in Mandarin sounds like "我愛你一生一世" (pinyin: wǒ ài nǐ yīshēngyīshì; **lit. 'I love you a lifetime'**).


Collectivism


Democracy works far better when it's actually limited by a constitution and the state can't print money. I'd give that a try. Otherwise universal suffrage makes everything retarded because it makes the votes of the stupid lazy and otherwise equal to those of the good and great people.

Announcing Rev. Hodl's Applied Permaculture Class
https://i.nostr.build/d4WP499QWkXJxEjO.png
Saturday October 12 - Baroda, MI - 100k sats

Learn how to apply permaculture to any lifestyle to build sovereignty, resilience, and wealth in this half day class. I will detail how I apply the permaculture ethics and principles to homesteading, share how I build resilience in my wealth with the 8 forms of capital, and illuminate the connections between Bitcoin and permaculture.

You can either take control of your relay lists, or they will control you.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq3svyhng9ld8sv44950j957j9vchdktj7cxumsep9mvvjthc2pjuqq9hyetvv9uj6um9w36hq9mgjg8

If you don't know where your posts are, you might as well just stay in the centralized Twitter. You either take control of your relay lists, or they will control you. Amethyst offers several lists of relays for our users. We are going to go one by one to help clarify what they are and which options are best for each one.

## Public Home/Outbox Relays

Home relays store all YOUR content: all your posts, likes, replies, lists, etc. It's your home. Amethyst will send your posts here first. Your followers will use these relays to get new posts from you. So, if you don't have anything there, **they will not receive your updates**.

Home relays must allow queries from anyone, ideally without the need to authenticate. They can limit writes to paid users without affecting anyone's experience.

This list should have a maximum of 3 relays. More than that will only make your followers waste their mobile data getting your posts. Keep it simple. Out of the 3 relays, I recommend:
- 1 large public, international relay: nos.lol, nostr.mom, relay.damus.io, etc.
- 1 personal relay to store a copy of all your content in a place no one can delete. Go to [relay.tools](https://relay.tools/) and never be censored again.
- 1 really fast relay located in your country: paid options like http://nostr.wine are great

Do not include relays that block users from seeing posts in this list. If you do, no one will see your posts.

## Public Inbox Relays

This relay type receives all replies, comments, likes, and zaps to your posts. If you are not getting notifications or you don't see replies from your friends, it is likely because you don't have the right setup here. If you are getting too much spam in your replies, it's probably because your inbox relays are not protecting you enough. Paid relays can filter inbox spam out.

Inbox relays must allow anyone to write into them. It's the opposite of the outbox relay. They can limit who can download the posts to their paid subscribers without affecting anyone's experience.

This list should have a maximum of 3 relays as well. Again, keep it small. More than that will just make you spend more of your data plan downloading the same notifications from all these different servers. Out of the 3 relays, I recommend:
- 1 large public, international relay: nos.lol, nostr.mom, relay.damus.io, etc.
- 1 personal relay to store a copy of your notifications, invites, cashu tokens and zaps.
- 1 really fast relay located in your country: go to [nostr.watch](https://nostr.watch/relays/find) and find relays in your country

Terrible options include:
- nostr.wine should not be here.
- filter.nostr.wine should not be here.
- inbox.nostr.wine should not be here.

## DM Inbox Relays

These are the relays used to receive DMs and private content. Others will use these relays to send DMs to you. **If you don't have it setup, you will miss DMs**. DM Inbox relays should accept any message from anyone, but only allow you to download them.

Generally speaking, you only need 3 for reliability. One of them should be a personal relay to make sure you have a copy of all your messages. The others can be open if you want push notifications or closed if you want full privacy.

Good options are:
- inbox.nostr.wine and auth.nostr1.com: anyone can send messages and only you can download. Not even our push notification server has access to them to notify you.
- a personal relay to make sure no one can censor you. Advanced settings on personal relays can also store your DMs privately. Talk to your relay operator for more details.
- a hidden, but public relay if you want DM notifications from our servers.

Make sure to add at least one public relay if you want to see DM notifications.

## Private Home Relays

Private Relays are for things no one should see, like your drafts, lists, app settings, bookmarks etc. Ideally, these relays are either local or require authentication before posting AND downloading each user\'s content. There are no dedicated relays for this category yet, so I would use a local relay like Citrine on Android and a personal relay on relay.tools.

Keep in mind that if you choose a local relay only, a client on the desktop might not be able to see the drafts from clients on mobile and vice versa.

## Search relays:

This is the list of relays to use on Amethyst's search and user tagging with @. **Tagging and searching will not work if there is nothing here.**. This option requires NIP-50 compliance from each relay. Hit the Default button to use all available options on existence today:
- nostr.wine
- relay.nostr.band
- relay.noswhere.com

## Local Relays:

This is your local storage. Everything will load faster if it comes from this relay. You should install Citrine on Android and write ws://localhost:4869 in this option.

## General Relays:

This section contains the default relays used to download content from your follows. Notice how you can activate and deactivate the Home, Messages (old-style DMs), Chat (public chats), and Global options in each.

Keep 5-6 large relays on this list and activate them for as many categories (Home, Messages (old-style DMs), Chat, and Global) as possible.

Amethyst will provide additional recommendations to this list from your follows with information on which of your follows might need the additional relay in your list. Add them if you feel like you are missing their posts or if it is just taking too long to load them.

## My setup

Here's what I use:
1. Go to [relay.tools](https://relay.tools/) and create a relay for yourself.
2. Go to [nostr.wine](https://nostr.wine/) and pay for their subscription.
3. Go to [inbox.nostr.wine](https://inbox.nostr.wine/) and pay for their subscription.
4. Go to [nostr.watch](https://nostr.watch/relays/find) and find a good relay in your country.
5. Download Citrine to your phone.

Then, on your relay lists, put:

Public Home/Outbox Relays:
- nostr.wine
- nos.lol or an in-country relay.
- <your.relay>.nostr1.com

Public Inbox Relays
- nos.lol or an in-country relay
- <your.relay>.nostr1.com

DM Inbox Relays
- inbox.nostr.wine
- <your.relay>.nostr1.com

Private Home Relays
- ws://localhost:4869 (Citrine)
- <your.relay>.nostr1.com (if you want)

Search Relays
- nostr.wine
- relay.nostr.band
- relay.noswhere.com

Local Relays
- ws://localhost:4869 (Citrine)

General Relays
- nos.lol
- relay.damus.io
- relay.primal.net
- nostr.mom

And a few of the recommended relays from Amethyst.

## Final Considerations

Remember, relays can see what your Nostr client is requesting and downloading at all times. They can track what you see and see what you like. They can sell that information to the highest bidder, they can delete your content or content that a sponsor asked them to delete (like a negative review for instance) and they can censor you in any way they see fit. Before using any random free relay out there, make sure you trust its operator and you know its terms of service and privacy policies.

Lessons sometimes become apparent afterwards.

#muaythai


We've reached the point where government workers are absolutely collaborating with an effort to take away our natural rights

View accordingly


Why is telling the truth so important when government asks you a question but so absolutely unimportant when we ask them?

Might it have something to do with how they value truth?


Rotten apple


See

This is what happens when everyone's ideas are valued "equally".

When merit is cast aside in favor of "inclusivity".

Things get real cringe and go to shit.


They keep seizing until society has a seizure


Addiction


Bitcoin arrived when we needed it.

So has nostr.

But then tell us we need immigrants to have children 🫠


50% or so on a government check say it's just

Experts agree...

Ya because they overcharge and are full of prostitutes and fake accounts

Protect from reality


I don't think so. Those people like controlled places where they can crybully people.  This ain't that.


Won't win now


When are the good UK people going to arrive?


I didn't say I don't want it to grow.  I said I don't want the people who ruin everything to come.


Everyone gets an opinion but all opinions aren't created equally


They need to be lead, doesn't need to happen here


A hard lesson to learn when you are used to being smarter than most everyone


You don't see the contradiction? We don't need them. Followers

Had waaayyyy enough of indulging and legitimizing the freaks and degenerates


Yeah but there are already too many kooks out there


Ain't jay-z illuminati?


The people that still pay attention to msm aren't the ones going to come to nostr.

I really don't care if all the bluesky people want to wall themselves off there in their echo chamber because they are the type that aren't swayed by truth, facts and logic anyway.  They are the emotional,  theoretical types.

The value of nostr is here, it's real and that's all it needs to be. Like bitcoin up until about this year.

Those who can see actual value will arrive.  Those who can't are better left behind.


Why Nostr is struggling…

There is too much of an overlap with X, not only in the feature sets among the primary applications, but more importantly, in the kind of audience that Nostr is catering to.

Sure..censorship resistance at the protocol level is a differentiator, but the to the average person, you may as well be talking gibberish. They don’t know wtf a protocol is in the first place - let alone why it matters for censorship resistance to happen at that level, or more importantly, WHY they should trust Nostr to deliver on that promise. “Bcoz nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m said so” is not an argument.

————

Bluesky is a case in point here.

It’s got a VERY similar feature set to X, claims to be open source / censorship resistant (similar narrative to Nostr), and is growing MUCH faster than Nostr, bc it has captured a key audience, ie; people with TDS and EDS (Elon Derangement Syndrome).

https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/bluesky-signups-surge-uk-amid-musks-row-with-government-over-riots-2024-08-13/?

I’ve been on there a few times, and the content quality is enough to make you want to throw up….but at the very least, it’s working for that kind of content, and for the people who want it.

I don’t have a direct answer here..but I think it’s something to do with the over-emphasis on technicals.

nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 mentioned increasing the emphasis on design the other day. I agree this is a move in the right direction. We’re taking a very design-focused approach with nostr:npub15xd2mmjnh3caykh77djsv73e0zkrp42jp5mwerx8f4m6su40wdvss7t3l3 (we’ll have ALOT more to show in the next 6wks).

That being said, it’s not enough.
IMO, Nostr is technically mature enough for us to go out there and talk about it to more people, and build a narrative BEYOND the 500 of us that are talking to each other on here.

People like nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft or nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc can correct me if I am wrong here. Maybe there’s alot more to do technically.

But if I am right, I’d like to see more initiatives that are marketing oriented being supported by nostr:npub17xvf49kht23cddxgw92rvfktkd3vqvjgkgsdexh9847wl0927tqsrhc9as and nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f and other coalitions. Maybe we even need a council of Nostr businesses, who together pool some funds to help drive some marketing initiatives?

Whatever the case, we need to expand upon the Nostr narrative, make it more compelling and speak to more people about it.
At the very least, we have to conquer then Bitcoiners. If we can’t get the segment who are into freedom money onto the freedom of speech network, we’re DOA. That’s a first step.

I know nostr:npub1hz5alqscpp8yjrvgsdp2n4ygkl8slvstrgvmjca7e45w6644ew7sewtysa is working on a very cool initiative in relation to this. The Nostr Booth is IMO a great way to make Nostr more “real” for bitcoiners by having a physical presence at all the conferences.

I know nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 + nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 are doing some Podcast outreach. That’s super important too. nostr:npub16vrkgd28wq6n0h77lqgu8h4fdu0eapxgyj0zqq6ngfvjf2vs3nuq5mp2va and crew are putting on Nostriga. Amazing. nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr / nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg are doing great things with nostr:npub1spdnfacgsd7lk0nlqkq443tkq4jx9z6c6ksvaquuewmw7d3qltpslcq6j7, etc on the content side. I’ve got some things up my sleeve personally which I will begin to do once nostr:npub15xd2mmjnh3caykh77djsv73e0zkrp42jp5mwerx8f4m6su40wdvss7t3l3 is in a position to represent a NEW kind of Nostr-product..

But we need MOAR..

And…we also need to find another angle that is NOT about censorship resistance. That’s clearly not working against X.

I don’t know the EXACT narrative or spin, but it has to be more “running towards” than “running from”.

More white pill, less black pill.

Anyway.
I will probably turn this into an article. I’ve been thinking more and more about “writing in public” as we build Satlantis, and sharing more about how we’re thinking about growing a “network product” on top of a “network protocol”.

If you think this was valuable, please repoast so more people can see and get involved in the discussion.

🚨 For the first time, a government is being overthrown by 3D-printed weapons 🔫

The longest-lasting civil war today took an unexpected turn... when the resistance adopted plastic weapons and cryptocurrencies.

You NEED to know what's happening in Myanmar 👇

https://image.nostr.build/a2fdf9026e54b6b1da842627fb5b8c4bd194211838d838b3c0d791eb5db65441.jpg

https://image.nostr.build/90c607aedae1666db44e2cdf10bfc325b857c46a8afaebebbe2752b7e1b23cca.jpg

Myanmar has never had political stability since gaining independence 76 years ago.

The latest coup was in 2021, banks were drained, and the local currency lost 60% of its value in the following months.

Rebels have since been using CRYPTO to finance themselves.

https://image.nostr.build/ddaac81e9555922d2c8940c90ccbc8f37c6f4e1b987a79282a8324377d0e1724.png

They declared TETHER as the official currency 🏅

They launched a stablecoin and a crypto bank on the Polygon network that accesses Uniswap pools for buying and selling currencies.

They even created a digital lottery and boycotted the national Myanmar lottery, which saw its revenue drop by 80% 📉

https://image.nostr.build/4fd9c942150d77ed2c032af07f7d6f785b35ec52806f9c76a523398a6fad93a7.png

The rebels have raised about $100 million in recent years.

They even auctioned "revolutionary bonds": buyers could receive a share of a deposed general's mansion, for example.

But this $100 million is nothing compared to the nearly $1 billion that the junta has invested in the war since the coup.

https://image.nostr.build/eb9746cf073e54a643de3c70767aee6aa0be09634ae9af0578b67d5c902892c6.png

https://image.nostr.build/fc6f73aa8cc85024cbe4667725066c98c5f3fdb1bbedde479b0b897fdfef4d2e.png

This ASYMMETRY of resources suggests a protracted conflict with no end in sight.

The junta is unable to eliminate all the decentralized insurgency hotspots... but it can exhaust them financially.

However, the asymmetry is decreasing, thanks to DISSIDENT TECHNOLOGIES...

https://image.nostr.build/93ff5fc270a0569fd2b314e37b46d713b868279b95d830f906c0ecfb3a633cd1.png

JStark would be proud.

In recent months, there have been reports of FGC9s in use in Myanmar.

FGC9 is one of the most popular models of self-made firearms.

FGC = Fuck Gun Control

No one conquers a city with FGC9s.

But it is certainly possible to...

... defend a mountain pass or a village surrounded by forest with them.

Moreover, the resistance has mastered the art of producing and piloting homemade patrol drones.

The insurgents have already liberated ~50% of the territory.

The military junta controls the most populous and economically significant areas.

China supported the last coup in 2021. The West never had enough incentive to confront Beijing 🇨🇳

But in 2024, everything starts to change.

https://image.nostr.build/56c5705a1c8f1e73685767d2b059cdf38d9002029369c667c4ce246a9090e595.png

China's interest is economic.

They need to be on the side of the "winner" to ensure access to Myanmar's strategic pipelines and ports.

But in March of this year, Beijing lost its patience.

Hold on to this:

😳 44,000 CHINESE were in Myanmar as "slaves"...

https://image.nostr.build/faa92bf49b76a74367313ae9dc701a20800fef77c00a74676e9003f557211332.png

...and they were finally discovered and "returned."

They were working in "ONLINE SCAM CENTERS" operating in the northern part of the country. They were lured with fake job advertisements.

This is a scam center on the border with Thailand, packed with Chinese workers, scamming people worldwide 👇

https://image.nostr.build/2460a015b0beb3b775506b6e50e9c96c1ceb743e4214a3a1a1f4ebd6b3c00b20.jpg

Think about this 👇

You’ve probably been targeted by some online profile trying to scam you, operated by one of the THOUSANDS of trafficked Chinese people working in centers like this.

What year are we living in, folks?! 😳

The fight against tyranny still seems far from over. But the end appears to have already begun.

The balance of power is shifting.
