 Hello, Quentin, how are you? Is it possible to change the username on nostrcheck.me? Thank you for your attention. 
  THIS IS A LEFT GOVERNMENT

- High inflation
- Censorship
- Political persecution
- Media purchased by the government
- Disguised public statistics
- Nationalization of the economy
- Lack of fiscal control
- Widespread corruption
- Poverty and lack of perspective
- Lack of legality 
 #Bitcoin is not just a digital currency; it is a monetary revolution that challenges traditional power structures. By choosing Bitcoin, we are choosing a decentralized, censorship-resistant financial system where each individual has full control over their own funds.

Furthermore, by using Bitcoin, we are not fueling institutions that can be used to perpetuate state violence. Instead, we are building a global community that values financial freedom, transparency, and inclusion. For many, Bitcoin is more than just a currency; it is hope for a more just and equitable future. 
 I don't know what #Bitcoin means to you! For me, Bitcoin represents freedom and a lifestyle in which the state does not coexist! 
 Treating #Bitcoin just as a financial/monetary asset is a very limited view of what Bitcoin really is: freedom, financial autonomy, freedom of transaction, privacy, technological innovation, philosophy and ideology, protection against inflation and financial accessibility.

In your opinion, what does Bitcoin represent for you? 
 Great! 
 Don't negotiate your values and freedom! 
 Shouldn't God's pronouns be "they/them?" 
 No! God is One, the Father, as well as the Son and the Holy Spirit, are the other two persons of the Trinity. Both are God! 
 I need book recommendations for a 12 year old girl!

 For an excellent construction of children's imagination, I highly recommend: The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia, they are books that tell stories that bring high and transcendent values. 
 Of course, I understand perfectly well. However, I believe it can work well, reading a few pages with the child, daily. This can further strengthen the parent/child bond, in addition to providing a playful and different experience for your children. 
 Hello, @OpenSats! Do you know @bitcoin.rocks? bitcoin.rocks is an educational website designed for people who are new to bitcoin. The website was founded in 2022 as a “first link” to send to people who ask you about bitcoin. Consider adopting as an OpenSats project. https://bitcoin.rocks/en/

Moraes responded that 𝕏-Brazil employees are subject to “criminal liability”.

 10 rules for men:

1. never break your word and never break an oath, vow, or covenant;

2. protect those behind you and be loyal to those at your side;

3. Never beg for attention or recognition. Speak little, listen a lot;

4. never outsource the defense of your home, and never give up the tools to do so;

5. pray every day, bless your family, teach your children sound doctrine, be disgusted by sin;

6. take a cold shower;

7. dress well regardless of the occasion;

8. never take credit for work you didn't do, and don't covet what belongs to others;

9. eat meat, drink 4L of water a day, cut out sugars, ultra-processed foods and phytoestrogens;

10. never consume pornography.

 There is no investment in legacy under a negative real interest rate regime. The stock market is a fixed loss, a raffle to finance the corrupt rich; and, fixed loss, finances governments and filthy banks.

In this world, the true investments (besides spiritual salvation) are:

- REAL education (that produces useful and valuable skills based on logic and reality);

- REAL marriage (aiming for a solid and large family);

- Network ("Idem velle idem nolle" — people who love and hate the same things you see and have common connections);

- Good reputation;

- Health (physical and mental).

Soon, Bitcoiners will be blamed for inflation and the collapse of welfare. Go mobile or #OPSEC under the radar.

Just survive and we win!

 To survive a #TYRANNY you cannot depend on it. The more dependent you are, the more potential slave you are!

1. Does your family depend on the State to eat?
2. Does your family depend on the State to purchase?
3. Does your family depend on the State for housing?
4. Does your family depend on the State to come and go?
5. Do you depend on the State to educate your children?
6. Do you depend on the State to protect your home?

 In a world increasingly concerned about online censorship and surveillance, Bitcoin and Nostr emerge as powerful tools to protect our freedom of expression, anonymity, and security. Together, we are building a freer and more democratic digital future! 🛡️💻 #Bitcoin #Nostr #FreedomOfExpression #Privacy 
 since there’s no drama on here I’m gonna start some shit and say that quite honestly gnocchi ... 
 You probably ate poorly made gnocchi! Gnocchi made with wheat flour or potatoes, when done well, and with bolognese sauce and basil, are delicious! 🍽️😋 
 In a world where #censorship and surveillance are becoming increasingly present, it is essential to defend our rights to freedom of expression and privacy. #Bitcoin and #Nostr play a crucial role in this battle, offering a decentralized and secure alternative to traditional financial systems.

With Bitcoin, we can carry out financial transactions in a peer-to-peer manner, for example, without the need for intermediaries or centralized financial institutions. This means we can send and receive funds quickly, securely and without restrictions, regardless of borders or governments.

Furthermore, Nostr offers a decentralized social networking platform, among countless other applications, where freedom of expression is valued and protected. Unlike traditional platforms where censorship and surveillance are common, Nostr allows users to share their opinions freely without fear of reprisals or undue monitoring.

Together, Bitcoin and Nostr are empowering individuals to take control of their lives online, ensuring our freedom of expression, anonymity, and security are preserved. We are building a future where everyone can express themselves freely, without restrictions or external interference.

Join us on this journey towards a freer and more democratic world! 🌐✊ #Bitcoin #Nostr #FreedomOfExpression #Privacy #OnlineSecurity 
 The Great Reset aims to restrict financial freedom and impose a system based on social credit, where individual actions are evaluated and punished according to the system's convenience (like in China). In an increasingly controlled and surveilled world (1984, George Orwell), where you will have nothing and be happy (WEF). #Bitcoin via @Individualista

 #Brazil: Welcome to the newest Latin American #dictatorship! (Whoever makes posts like these could be arrested!)
https://m.primal.net/HsJW.jpg 
 The country's Supreme Court “torn up” the Constitution, Brazilian citizens are being silenced on social media, persecuted and arrested, without a crime defined by law, and without due legal process. An American journalist made a report on Twitter “Twitter Files Brazil” and Elon Musk bought the war, now Twitter could be banned in Brazil. 
 Virtually! The current president was imprisoned for corruption, the Supreme Court performed a judicial juggling act and erased the conviction of the prisoner, who was tried in two instances and convicted, then they brought him to the elections, and the ballot boxes are only for electronic voting, there is no version printed, so you can imagine the result! The ex-convict “won” the elections and today governs alongside the supreme court. 
 *Practically… 
 Nostr will help here but dam what a shame. At least the lawsuit will shine some light on this inj... 
 Of all the evils, one good thing!: if the supreme court orders Twitter to be blocked in Brazil, everyone will see that Brazil is no longer a democratic country. 
 Do you believe this is true? Honest question… sometimes it feels like it nostr:note120eah7w7unp... 
 I completely believe it! The strategy is to divide and conquer. Impose a “New Order”, starting from chaos! 
 #Twitter Files Brazil: Elon Musk declares war against the censorship imposed by the Federal Supreme Court of #Brazil, on Brazilians! As a result, Twitter could be blocked in Brazil, closing its office in the largest country in Latin America. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1776732561202696575?s=46

 #Bitcoin  can be thought of as a digital system with a set of instructions that govern the creation, transfer, and receipt of #DigitalMoney securely. These instructions are followed by computers all around the world, forming the decentralized network that is #Bitcoin .

The #protocol is built on a foundation of #mathematical and #cryptographic principles that ensure the integrity and #security of transactions. This includes the use of public-key cryptography for user addresses and digital signatures for transactions, and a consensus mechanism known as proof-of-work #PoW to secure the network and validate new transactions.

#Bitcoin  is often compared to #gold due to its #scarcity and the difficulty in producing new units. This is due to the #halving mechanism, where the reward for mining new blocks is cut in half every 210,000 blocks, or roughly every four years. This results in a predictable and diminishing supply of new bitcoins, which makes it a #deflationary asset.

The #Bitcoin  network is maintained by a distributed network of users, known as #nodes, who validate and relay transactions to each other. This decentralization ensures that no single entity can control the network, making it resistant to censorship and manipulation.

#Bitcoin  is not just a digital currency, but a revolutionary technology that has the potential to change the way we think about money and #financial systems. It offers a way to transfer value directly between parties without the need for intermediaries, and it provides a level of financial freedom and privacy that is not possible with traditional banking systems.

 Have you ever wondered why #Bitcoin is more than just a cryptocurrency?
Let's explore how owning your first Satoshis could be the key to ensuring a future of peace and prosperity.

While the value of the dollar and other Fiat currencies can be eroded by inflation, Bitcoin is scheduled to be scarce, with just 21 million units. This makes it an inflation-resistant store of value.

Bitcoin offers protection against economic instability and financial crises. Its decentralized and censorship-resistant nature makes it a safe haven in times of uncertainty.

In addition to being a store of value, Bitcoin has significant long-term appreciation potential. With its impressive growth track record, many investors see Bitcoin as an exceptional growth opportunity.

Owning Bitcoin is more than just an investment. It is a declaration of financial independence. With Bitcoin, you control your own money, without the need for intermediaries or central authorities. 
 What should we focus on for our future as sovereign and free individuals?

#AI to generate income/wealth
#Bitcoin to store wealth
#Privacy to defend your wealth

Artificial intelligence will take over the world. If you want to maintain your standard of living, you will have to find a way to integrate it into your scope of knowledge and operation. Job opportunities will not disappear, but they will require you to have new skills to get the job done with #AI as an extension of your workforce.

#Bitcoin the best hard money invented by humanity. There is simply no way to stop the adoption of #BTC as a store of value. As States take more measures to restrict your freedoms and confiscate your economic energy, you will understand the usefulness of the protocol and why Bitcoin is worth (and will be worth) what it is worth. Better learn now for your own good and not later for your defense.

Privacy is the basis of freedom. Many radical ideologies, through indoctrination, will take power and will not want to let go, so if you do not belong or do not obey their postulates, you will be a target to be taken down. If radical vegans take power and decide how much meat you can eat per month? And so does any minority with extreme ideas.

Yes, it sounds exaggerated, but every day the possibility is greater. Your first line of defense is to share only the information you want to share and only to whom you authorize to do so. Using Privacy tools to defend your personal data and ideas at all costs will be essential to defend your freedoms.

Protect yourself!

 WE NEED #BITCOIN BECAUSE MONEY IS BROKEN

“The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that’s required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction of reserve. We have to trust them with our privacy, trust them not to let identity thieves drain our accounts.”

~ Satoshi Nakamoto 2009-02-11 
 True! It's terrifying to see everything that happened to our money, after the invention of banks! 😵‍💫 
 Living in the cryptocurrency market is like riding a roller coaster: exciting, unpredictable and full of ups and downs. But in the end, it's the journey that makes it all so exciting! 💸🎢 #BitcoinLife #HodlStrong #Bitcoin #BTC #Nostr

 "Bitcoin is used by criminals. Also, we define who is a criminal." 

— Government  
 Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. This succinctly captures the essence of hegemony — where fear of losing control breeds paranoia. A reminder that true strength lies not in domination, but in fostering cooperation and mutual respect.

 Zimbabwe's tumultuous journey with fiat currency continues as it unveils yet another attempt at stability with the #ZIG currency, linked to gold. With inflation soaring and previous endeavors faltering, the move aims to offer a lifeline to citizens. Yet, skepticism looms as gold prices surge, raising questions about the valuation of this new 'shitcoin.' Amidst uncertainties, one can't help but ponder if #Bitcoin might offer a more reliable refuge in the face of governmental uncertainties. Only time will tell if this shift brings the stability Zimbabweans desperately seek.

 Sometimes I feel like I'm invisible on #Nostr!

I created my account 12 days ago. Followed 150 people, I produced and shared lots of content every day (8/10 hours/day). I actively interacted with several people, commenting, liking, sharing, and sending zaps.

Result: I was followed by 50 different accounts. With each publication, I received an average of: 87.8 likes, 7.66 comments, 6 zaps per publication and a total of 11,600 Satoshis.

My goal here is not to have thousands of followers just for the sake of having them. I want to create more and more connections that give me more interactions, but I know that this happens with time and hard work.

At X, in the same period, my result was practically triple, it's okay that there are many more people there than here (for now).

If you've made it this far, follow me!

 Thank you for the support! Engage with me in this seara! 🧡😉 
 It is practically impossible to “know” everyone, as connections are created based on the same interests and tastes. As an art, however, for me, Nostr is an environment in which I seek to interact with the crypto/Bitcoin public. Even so, other than that, I will follow you and I will be grateful if you reciprocate by following me. Thanks for your comment! Note: I have been spending around 8 hours a day, publishing content and interacting with people! 😉🫰🏻 
 Thank you for following me, I will repay you by following back! Practically #Nostr was just born, we still have a lot to grow and mature. 😉  
 Sad, but true! 
 Yes, I understand and agree with everything you wrote. I'm doing exactly that, not only publishing content, but mainly interacting with other people, commenting, liking and sharing their posts. Numbers are important to give traction, otherwise we wouldn't be working to promote #Bitcoin, #Nostr… Thank you for sharing your opinion! 😉 
 Yes, you are completely right! I don't think the numbers and results are bad. 
 Your opinion is valid and welcome to me! I've been in the #Bitcoin / crypto market since 2015, not that long ago, but preaching to converts inside a bubble for me is not a problem, because when that bubble bursts, everything that was done inside it spreads outside! 😉 
 Indeed! 👊🏻🧡 
 Thank you!

 I don't care about Twitter, what worries me is the censorship imposed on Brazilians by their supreme court. Although, if Twitter is blocked in Brazil and its office has to be closed, Brazilians will lose another important communication space.
