Its called Fascism.

Corporate interests + Government interests, acting in cooperation with each other.

Both are forms of organized groups capable of tremendous violence. One more socially acceptable than the other.

Its a spectrum between organized violence that gives you something in return for your "cooperation" and organized violence that gives you nothing and takes by force.

Different nations and cultures have different flavors of Fascism.

Take your pick.

Bitcoin itself is private. YOU on the other, aren't.

If you use exchanges like Coinbase, CashApp, Strike - any platform asking for ID, like Primal -  you'll be registered as someone who has Bitcoin. Unless you coinjoin you Bitcoin, or swap in and out from alts back to Bitcoin, there will always be a record of you on the blockchain.

If you want to get anonymous Bitcoin, there's a few ways:

1. Earn it. Sell goods and/or services in exchange for Bitcoin as payment.

2. Buy it cash from a friend or someone at a Meetup.

3. ATMs

4. Buy precious metals, cash, then exchange with someone for Bitcoin.

5. Buy USDC/USDT, move funds to your wallet, then swap for Monero, then swap to Bitcoin.

That's just the first step to getting anonymous Bitcoin.

If you want to really go the extra mile:

Buy a new device, with cash, and set it up away from your home. When you create new accounts, DO NOT link any of your personal information to it. No old emails, usernames, NOTHING. Start brand new. When you use your device, use it AWAY from your home. All of this is to prevent tracking and tracing via triangulation of cell signal which can point to you.

My farm was once threatened with closure based on one health official watching an instagram video of my farm. I had to go to the health department and show them the exact rule that made my operations within guidance. Their guidance was missing one word different than the department of agriculture. If I wasn't so keenly aware of my industry a single unelected desk jockey would have put the entire states vegetable harvest on halt. Insane bullshit I will never forgive. Being spied on and threatened by ignorant government officials who produce nothing.

Agreed.


That’s another problem that should be discussed at length too. There is no economic incentive to run a relay, but a lot of risk. My main point is about relays getting shutdown. It needs to all be peer-to-peer.


Been saying this since the first day I got here. Unless Nostr moves towards making relays minimalistically "dumb" and unable to "comply", or we get rid of them altogether and become a P2P network, we will be vulnerable. Relays will either be shut down for not "complying", or they will be abandoned by users because they "comply", like X, Meta, Google, etc. and we will end up having wasted years in here just to get where we were already.

OK.


I agree with Szabo, but I think his word choice is poor.

Collecting isn't essentially "storing value," considering person A is the only one who finds value in it. Trade requires at least two people. Person B needs to find some interest in A's asset to have value outside of their own preference.

People want to say "collecting is storing value," but that's just speculation again.

As I wrote earlier, if the idea is that because of bitcoins early use as a currency from 2009-2015 was enough to build trust in the asset to store value in it, makes sense and let's use THAT position, using proper phrasing, than the current narrative which is misleading and technically incorrect.


Correct. He had to trade with someone who wanted them or had similar values.


Collectable is utility.


That's how trading works.

You have something I want. I have something you want. We can exchange goods.

You have something I want, but you don't want what I have, there is no exchange.

Value is subjective. Preferences need to align. You might see value in bitcoin, but your grocer doesn't. Its your job to convince them why they should accept it. Your answer needs to satisfy their want/need. Their want/need is to make profit, pay for the goods their selling and the labor cost of their employees. If you tell them that bitcoin is the greatest store of value on the planet, but they are already profitable because the owner has real estate, stock, and other assets, your store of value is of little use to them as they already have it. So you're not servicing their want or need.

Simply saying "number go up" is the equivalent to selling snake oil, especially when fiat prices crash or you're in a bear market.

Price isn't value. Value isn't price.


Three things:

1. Use bitcoin as currency.
2. Continue to promote bitcoin as a currency.
3. Push back against the narrative.

They're small, but meaningful, efforts.

If you want to add a 4th point, meme the narrative into oblivion.


False.

The history of money, from seashells to silver, is to be a medium of exchange first. After a period of time, trust is built in the medium and is then stored because of the reputation built. That's the concept as promoted by Mises, Menger, Hayeck, and Rothbard. The reason its promoted this way is based off human action, psychology and individual preferences aligning over time.

But for some reason, Bitcoiners promote this idea entirely backwards. As if the concept is to never use the money, just to hoard it, thereby neutralizing its ability to be useful in trade. Why this is, I have no idea, but this SoV before MoE flies in the face of human nature and defies logic.

Maybe, its entirely possible, that its usefulness as a currency from 2009-2015 showed its desirability and trust that peopledecidesd it was better to store it for later. If that's the logic, I can subscribe to it and would agree. But with an adoption rate of 0.2% of the globe, and the only use for it is an asset backing the dollar as a means of inflating debt, with regression in adoption, I don't think so.

Should bitcoin be used as a currency in trade, as it was from 2009-2015, its value would be much high in USD, but also, there would be prices set in bitcoin, giving it legitimacy in exchange and then being a very strong store of value. What's currently promoted is a Speculation of Value.

I'm sorry the influencers have lied and promoted this false narrative.


Are you building parallel economies?

#AUStriches are limited by the Big 4 Banks to $10,000 per month in transfers to crypto exchanges.

With #Bitcoin already at $100,000 dollarydoos, if a nocoiner started *today* it would take 10 months to become a wholecoiner (unrealistically assuming no price changes).

The number of wholecoiners in Australia 🇦🇺 is thus not likely to increase much if at all from here, particularly when the remaining banks follow the new industry guidelines and also impose restrictions on on-ramps.

Australians will look back on this in 5-10 years and realise what a colossal fuckup this market interference was, but by then it will be too late to do anything about it.

It doesn't.

Everyday people will not run a relay. Just like many people don't run a node. The market for NOSTR is very niche and based on idealism, not practicality.

If NOSTR is going to stay a sub-sub-sub-sub-culture within a sub-sub-culture, then it needs more users:

- Running relays
- Improving UX/UI for NOSTR as a whole
- Avoid VC funding
- And not relying on AWS for storage and backup

#GrapheneOS uncovers leaked documentation for smartphone exploits by Cellebrite.

XRY and Cellebrite say they can do consent-based full filesystem extraction with iOS, Android and #GrapheneOS. It means they can extract data from the device once the user provides the lock method, which should always be expected. They unlock, enable developer options and use ADB.

Cellebrite's list of capabilities provided to customers in April 2024 shows they can successfully exploit every non-GrapheneOS Android device brand both BFU and AFU, but not GrapheneOS if patch level is past late 2022. It shows only Pixels stop brute force via the secure element.

 https://image.nostr.build/8e893edfdc5699a979ca586def3e2b20e0179013da3e4cc5b57522870e2982c6.jpg

Cellebrite has similar capabilities for iOS devices. This is also from April 2024. We can get the same information from newer months. In the future, we'll avoid sharing screenshots and will simply communicate it via text since to prevent easily tracking down the ongoing leaks.

 https://image.nostr.build/17f7e488f9093601c0dff65bdb1274509a91d26362669decc0b006b39e132e58.jpg

Pixel 6 and later or the latest iPhones are the only devices where a random 6 digit PIN can't be brute forced in practice due to the secure element. Use a strong passphrase such as 6-8 diceware words for a user profile with data you need secured forever regardless of exploits.

Pixels are doing a bit better on the secure element front and iPhones are doing a bit better against OS exploitation, but not by much.

As always, this shows the importance of our auto-reboot feature which gets the data back at rest after a timer since the device was locked.

Our focus in this area is defending against exploitation long enough for auto-reboot to work. It's set to 18 hours since the device was locked by default, but users can set it as low as 10 minutes. Since around January, we massively improved security against these attacks.

By default, our recently added USB-C port control feature disallows new USB connections in AFU mode after the device is locked and fully disables USB data at a hardware level once there aren't active USB connections. Users can set it to also do this in BFU or even when unlocked.

Users with a high threat model can fully disable USB including USB-PD/charging while the OS is booted to only allow charging while powered off or booted into the fastboot/fastbootd/recovery/charging modes.

GrapheneOS on 8th gen Pixels is ideal due to hardware memory tagging.

Consent-based data extraction (FFS) is not in the scope of what we're trying to defend against beyond shipping our secure duress PIN/password implementation to replace insecure approaches via apps. Data users can backup is inherently obtainable with consent, which is nearly all.

Within the past 24 hours, there has been an attack on GrapheneOS across social media platforms misrepresenting consent-based data extraction as GrapheneOS being compromised/penetrated. The person doing it is pretending to be multiple people and falsely claiming we covered it up.

GrapheneOS is the only OS having success defending against these attacks. We could do more with a successful hardware partnership such as having encrypted memory with a per-boot key instead of relying on our kernel memory zeroing combined with auto-reboot and fastbootd zeroing.

New versions of iOS and Pixel OS often invalidate their existing exploits, but devices in AFU are stuck in AFU mode waiting for new exploits.

Random 6 digit PIN is only secure on a Pixel/iPhone and only due to secure element throttling. Use a strong passphrase to avoid this.

If you wonder why duress PIN/password is taking so long, it's because we aren't doing it for show like existing implementations. It needs to work properly and guarantee data will be unrecoverable with no way to interrupt it. Slowly rebooting to recovery to wipe isn't acceptable.

See https://x.com/GrapheneOS/status/1775305179581018286 for our thread covering the firmware improvements we helped get implemented in the April 2024 release for Pixels. It doesn't currently really help the stock Pixel OS because they haven't blocked the OS exploits that are being used yet but it helps us.

Our hope is that our upcoming 2-factor fingerprint unlock feature combined with a UI for random passphrase and PIN generation will encourage most users to use a 6-8 diceware word passphrase for primary unlock and fingerprint + random 6-digit PIN for convenient secondary unlock.

Cellebrite documentation and has stated they'll upload future versions of it if you want to look at the rest of it:

---

Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.

If two parties have some sort of dealings, then each has a memory of their interaction. Each party can speak about their own memory of this; how could anyone prevent it? One could pass laws against it, but the freedom of speech, even more than privacy, is fundamental to an open society; we seek not to restrict any speech at all. If many parties speak together in the same forum, each can speak to all the others and aggregate together knowledge about individuals and other parties. The power of electronic communications has enabled such group speech, and it will not go away merely because we might want it to.

Since we desire privacy, we must ensure that each party to a transaction have knowledge only of that which is directly necessary for that transaction. Since any information can be spoken of, we must ensure that we reveal as little as possible. In most cases personal identity is not salient. When I purchase a magazine at a store and hand cash to the clerk, there is no need to know who I am. When I ask my electronic mail provider to send and receive messages, my provider need not know to whom I am speaking or what I am saying or what others are saying to me; my provider only need know how to get the message there and how much I owe them in fees. When my identity is revealed by the underlying mechanism of the transaction, I have no privacy. I cannot here selectively reveal myself; I must always reveal myself.

Therefore, privacy in an open society requires anonymous transaction systems. Until now, cash has been the primary such system. An anonymous transaction system is not a secret transaction system. An anonymous system empowers individuals to reveal their identity when desired and only when desired; this is the essence of privacy.

Privacy in an open society also requires cryptography. If I say something, I want it heard only by those for whom I intend it. If the content of my speech is available to the world, I have no privacy. To encrypt is to indicate the desire for privacy, and to encrypt with weak cryptography is to indicate not too much desire for privacy. Furthermore, to reveal one's identity with assurance when the default is anonymity requires the cryptographic signature.

We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to their advantage to speak of us, and we should expect that they will speak. To try to prevent their speech is to fight against the realities of information. Information does not just want to be free, it longs to be free. Information expands to fill the available storage space. Information is Rumor's younger, stronger cousin; Information is fleeter of foot, has more eyes, knows more, and understands less than Rumor.

We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place. People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers. The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do.

We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money.

Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down.

Cypherpunks deplore regulations on cryptography, for encryption is fundamentally a private act. The act of encryption, in fact, removes information from the public realm. Even laws against cryptography reach only so far as a nation's border and the arm of its violence. Cryptography will ineluctably spread over the whole globe, and with it the anonymous transactions systems that it makes possible.

For privacy to be widespread it must be part of a social contract. People must come and together deploy these systems for the common good. Privacy only extends so far as the cooperation of one's fellows in society. We the Cypherpunks seek your questions and your concerns and hope we may engage you so that we do not deceive ourselves. We will not, however, be moved out of our course because some may disagree with our goals.

The Cypherpunks are actively engaged in making the networks safer for privacy. Let us proceed together apace.

Onward.

The indictment is charging Roger with under reported his bitcoin holdings as a way to tax unrealized gains.

He reported what he sold for profit, but not the bitcoin he personally owned (and never sold).

The indictment also states that they’re trying him 10 years after the fact of his US citizenship renouncement, but fails to mention that during his process of renouncement was paying both Japanese and US taxes.

Point being, what the USG is doing is regulation by criminal enforcement. So whatever precedent is set from these court trials is what will be used against bitcoin holders.

Everyone from Ross Ulbrict, Ian Freeman, Jeremy Kaufman, Julian Assange, Kimdotcom, John McAfee, CZ, Roman Storm, Samourai and more is laying the legal framework to use against normal people.

The idea isn’t so much that they want to scare bitcoiners out of their bitcoin. Far from it. They WANT YOU to own bitcoin because they WANT to tax you when you use it. If they can scare bitcoiners INTO KYC/AMLcompliance and to making them too scared to USE their bitcoin and keep it in HODL mode on, the USG and TPTB will see that as a win.


They came for Samourai Wallet, and I didn't speak up because I wanted Saylor's blessings as a statist cuck.

Then they came for Roger Ver, and I didn't stand up because I love NGU and was busy licking boot to care.

Then they came for me, because I had KYC'ed myself thinking I was on the right side of history...

America have said for decades now they have a list of countries they want to take out. Iran is next. America via its satellite State of Israel who they fund and supply with all the new military toys is driving this forward. I suggest people wake up and change the way America is run. Bitcoin is s good start. UK is just America’s bitch. It’s all in the plan. Endless war. And funding the Taliban with millions of dollars of weaponry then handing back the country to them with even more weapons. That went well. Ukraine is  a test bed for a rebuild in the image of the NWO, believe otherwise and you’re a fool. Where have all the tax dollars gone? No audit, just gone. Hundreds of billions.

Download Youtubes

One of our readers asked if there’s an open source way to download Youtube videos, for music mp3 or the entire video.  Yes, there is.

For web browser,
There’s Invidious,
https://invidious.io/
You can use their list of instances or get served up a fresh one from farside.link

For Linux & Windows desktop,
There’s Freetubeapp,
https://freetubeapp.io/
You can download on FreeTube, but as a heads up, it doesn’t tell you the progress which is frustrating for a longer video.  As a tip, if you do a lower quality, it will be faster to help with this issue.

For Android,
There’s NewPipe, which is an F-Droid FOSS front end for Youtube.  You can download on here, and minimize videos while they play, which Google itself blocks on the real YT client.

For command line,
There’s both Youtube-DL and Youtube-DLP
One of our readers says the fork, Youtube-DLP is way better:
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
Our reader Vidar uses this with Termux on Android.
&
But here’s the older original for comparison Youtube-DL:
https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/

For browser extensions,
There’s Firefox “Video Download Helper”
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/
https://www.downloadhelper.net/
Although I personally can’t vouch for this.

maybe i'll just run a private one?


for sure!

i'm just wondering what i'm going to use this platform for...

right now, just doing a cleanse and trying to get my "feed" focused on what matters to me most. it's still a new platform, so there's not much.

we'll see.


focusing on myself.

i'm much more interested in my creative work, personal sovereignty and promoting freedom. bitcoin was a good vehicle for that for a while... but over the past couple years, it's shown to have gone a different path culture wise.

the tool is the tool, but i'm just not really having fun in the bitcoin space anymore.


thanks?

was using LN for sometime. don't really use it anymore... but much appreciated?

you can't delete nostr accounts can you...


that's not a game i'd be willing to play. but, gl


yeah... no such thing as self custody on LN. channel partners alone makes that improbable.

if you're on muun... might be a way to hack... try using fixedfloat.com or lnswap.org...

you basically send LN (hopefully lower fees) and swap for on-chain using your cold wallet. https://image.nostr.build/24f81292279e269c3981ac2d078037cf5f5a3cd14d111b0042b4ca91df8a4e4a.jpg https://image.nostr.build/43efd2c36852e247ddf548d4da0da844efb4173462135ca16b8b658958638b57.jpg


was just shitposting, but if you're looking to move it to cold storage from a hot wallet... and it's gonna cost you more to send... maybe reconsider keeping it on a hot wallet until fees die down?


ahoy nostr.

been reflecting on the last few years. it's been a real education.

living on bitcoin, running a business on a bitcoin standard... it's definitely taught me quite a bit.

watching the narratives change... it's not something i really like. the plot's lost on so many, but who's to say what is and what isn't bitcoin?  either way, i'm not so thrilled with the way the culture has turned.

this year, i've stopped on-boarding... businesses, people... unless someone's willing or wanting; i just leave things be.

reconsidering how i use nostr as well.

thinking of moving on.

maybe the culture out grew me, or i out grew the culture... i don't know.

all i know is that spending the year traveling, living exclusive on bitcoin, showed me quite a bit.

maybe i just use this as a journal or a place to share my thoughts.

focusing on myself now.

if bitcoin doesn’t work for the least of us, then it doesn’t work for everyone.


Fees are not based on dollar amounts but weight of the transaction.

#Bitcoin is being captured by custodial services, therefor: lean hard into noncustodial projects.

#Bitcoin is being captured by paperification, therefor: lean hard into physical.

#Bitcoin is being captured by app stores, therefor: lean hard into direct source installation.

#Bitcoin is being captured by deceptive license traps, therefor: lean hard into open source projects.

#Bitcoin is being captured by arbitrary fiat bank rules, therefor: lean hard into #Bitcoin friendly/agnostic online banking.

#Bitcoin is being captured by KYC surveillance ramps, therefor: lean hard into unregistered sats and #coinjoin.

#Bitcoin is being captured by a phony domestic terrorism narrative, therefor: lean hard into family-friendly optics, ridding yourself of all political costumes.


#Bitcoin requires you to think for yourself, and the people that need it the most are waiting for someone to tell them what to do… this is why it wont be the mainstream currency.

Need to learn more about NOSTR, how to run a relay, and all that… Feels like its out of reach for a sub 80 IQ pleb like myself.

Recovering this week. Felt like I torn something on my right knee. Hurts like hell. Was training for a competition next month... heavy squats... Looks like that idea is off. Hoping I can get back next week...

Taking a break from the newsletter (livingonbitcoin.substack.com). Challenged myself to write daily. Started losing subscribers. Suggested to stop. When I started, it was an outlet. A place to dump my thoughts. I exhausted people. Took time off to travel (and work).

Work's been disatisfying. Hollywood is soul sucking. I work as a producer and director in animation. Started off as an animator, rose the ranks over a 24 year career. The politics behind it all... "art" as a commodity... terrible business. Watched the entire industry change to a shell of itself over the last 2 decades. Easy money makes loose morals. The things people would do to get a project made... Bitcoin added some clarity into why the entertainment industry is such shitshow. The more I delved into studying economics, the more I got into the Bitcoin ethos, and like a caged tiger at that the circus, I wanted out.

I felt like I made the right decision of taking my pay in Bitcoin. But at the same time, knowing that I was still working in this field, dealing with the psychopaths that run the network... While the fiat bump every now and then helped, it doesn't last.

Lifting also played a big part in keeping sanity in check. If you can handle the heavy weight under the bar, everything else felt easy.

Now with both outlets temporarily on ice, realizing how imbalanced my thoughts are.

At times, I want to take the blue pill. Forget it all. Put on the custome and go back to the show. Never gonna happen now.

Bending the knee hurts. Standing up brings a lot of pain.

Looking for something new to do in the mean time.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Its been quite a year, and its been quite the adventure thus far.

I’m grateful for friends I’ve got left; family members who still speak with me; my spouse and her bottomless well of patience for me; my business which people still find useful to keep us employed, and for you, dear reader, who I might have ever met in person but have brought a tremendous sense of commradery. Who could have thought shitposting would bring complete randos together. God bless the internet.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to find a sense of purpose in life, to write as much as I have, and to live in the times we do. Its far from boring.

I’m thankful to Satoshi, Hal, Gavin, and all the people who’ve put so much into this absolutely invaluable tool we call Bitcoin. It literally saved me and my family from ruin, and I wish I knew how to contribute more aside from writing messages in bottles and poluting the digital oceans with them.

Above all, I am thankful for my savoir Jesus Christ, son of God, for taking on my sins, givng me light in dark times, helping me find my way when I’ve been lost, and providing me with strength and courage when I was weak and afraid in the face of challenging adversity. I’m grateful to God for building me up, forging my will in fire, and helping me become the person I am today.

It has been one hell of a year.

Even though I don’t know you, I wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving.

Cheers 🥂


Thank you for your contributions!

At base level, all anarchism claims to do is to resolve one major problem in interpersonal relationships: the forceful interjection of the state. Curing cancer would make things a lot better for many people. Yes, there would be costs: oncologists would be out of work, and cancer researchers would need new subjects to explore. An anarchist world would still have murderers, and thieves, and evil men and women. It simply wouldn't put them in a position to enforce their evil on everyone else via getting elected and decreeing the law.

We’ve done a piss-poor job educating people on the incentive models. Influencers are very fiat focused and havent really done much to move the needle.

Yeah man…

I mean, Nostr has a lot of potential, but i feel like it’ll be another 5-10 before it really takes off and theres so much development; its hard to keep up.

Getting off social media… its more about the idea that theres enough people saying enough things, not really sure there needs to be another asshole on the block.

What is the purpose of social media?
What social good does it ultimately provide?
How does it benefit (your/my) life?
Whats the point of having “followers”?

I know people want to make a living being an influencer; but why?


Go nostr only?
Get of SM entirely?

For Bitcoin, no. Other L1s, yes.

Those who want L1s; I can see Litecoin and Monero being the day-to-day currency.

It’d something like Bitcoin (L1 reserves) >< Monero > expense

User experience on mainstream devices is so smooth (at the price of privacy) that normies would rather have the convienence than their info be confidential.

Bitcoin, brilliant as it is, does pose challenges, especially when it comes to privacy.

Each transaction is recorded on a public ledger, a transparent trail that raises concerns about confidentiality.

However, here's the intriguing part: the source of your Bitcoin, whether acquired through KYC means or not, becomes less relevant when you spend directly from your own wallet.

The Power of a Circular Economy

Now, let's delve into the concept of a circular economy, where Bitcoin isn't merely stored but actively circulated.

In this dynamic ecosystem, the origin of your Bitcoin matters less; what truly counts is its movement within the community.

By participating in a Bitcoin circular economy, you can enhance your financial privacy, irrespective of the KYC processes involved in acquiring it.

The last 5 months, I went on a privacy hardening spree using various tools.

Laptop / GrapheneOS (personal)
iPad Pro / iPhone (work)

I'm still not use to working with multiple tools. I like to keep it to just one. Kind of a digital minimalist in that regards, but the tools I need for work run best on iPad Pro (drawing and animating)... Trade offs...

Making the move to remove all social apps from mobile devices and just keeping it strictly to laptop or the iPad Pro (via browser, no App Store).

Not easy.

Disagree.

The concept was using IPFS to host and the incentive was for people to run those servers kind of like running a node.

The issue is that they tried to operate like a proper business.

The rug pull was state oriented.


LBRY was the first decentralized social media platform for video creators. Even though it operated on its own token, it created a solution from the ever censoring YouTube platform.

Over the years, LBRY has gone head to head with the SEC, accrued millions in debt, and lost.

https://odysee.com/@lbry:3f/theendoflbryinc:d

If anything, it demonstrates clearly the need for free speech oriented platforms (and money) to be completely, in its totality, decentralized.

I wonder if NOSTR can pick up where LBRY left off…

GA Nostr 🥃

Just finished writing a script for an animated short film that talks about finding inner strength through physical strength.

The story takes place in a world on the brink, an aging powerlifter confronts mortality through one final lift, inspiring a town ravaged by despair, in this tale of strength, legacy, and the enduring human spirit.

I want to call it “Proof of Work” but that’s hitting the nail on the head a little too hard… And I want to make it have mass appeal to bring people outside of the Bitcoin ecosystem in.

Thinking of setting the cost of production entirely in Bitcoin and paying everyone in Bitcoin.

We’d setup wallets like  nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm and nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg to help those on board, help them use Bitcoin by using services like nostr:npub18tcc00lqpysdsurg567dllzg7jeyr5wcyk2v6w23rx3s3ygyze2qv32nxx …

Looking at doing some fund raising on nostr:npub1rg3adrxmz357cy540xplsz89v232l64wz7utp640zv0qhp98339qt2d3r2 …

And to “open source” the process of producing an animated short film.

I’m not entirely sure how well it’ll go, but I figure if I put this out in the ether, we’ll be able to make it happen.

Would love to make an award winning animated short that isn’t plagued by Wokeism and instead find a way to bring some of that Bitcoin ethos to the scene.

Looking at submitting to the prestigious Annie Awards and Annecy.

Thoughts?
