People often ask me "is it worth investing my time in nostr?"

IDK IS IT WORTH BREAKING YOUR FUCKING CHAINS AND FIGHTING FOR A BETTER INTERNET AND AGAINST THE SURVEILLANCE AND PROPAGANDA MACHINE FOR THE SAKE OUR KIDS AND ALL GENERATIONS TO COME?


imagine spending your entire life, trying to understand the intricacies of financial markets and then telling people to buy just one thing.

When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be annoying, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, scammy and misinformed.

They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of bitcoin, and the ugliness of shitcoins and inflationary fiat money, and have recognized that the shitcoiner has a nature related to my own - not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine.

And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness.


Who Satoshi is doesn't matter. They gave the world a gift. So thank you and that is all we have to say.

In the last week the US government has:

- Sent money to Israel and Lebanon (funding two sides of a war)
- Neglected to provide material help to Appalachia in the aftermath of Helene
- Admitted that they’ve been poisoning the public with fluoride for decades

They hate you.


I will


Imagine trusting people who think it’s acceptable to add something to our water systems that lowers the IQ of children to do what’s best for your health and safety.

Most people don’t have any serious mental health issues.

Just ordinary misery.

A little depression and a little anxiety are normal.

That’s part of an ordinary life. Not something that needs to be medicated.

Not something that requires years of therapy.

Just the normal course of events.

And can be remedied quite easily with exercise, nutrition, social relationships, sunlight and a feeling of purpose.


Absolute scarcity cannot be engineered in the open. It needs to sneak up on us. Grow roots in obscurity. Organic decentralization. Its true power and promise slowly unveiled. Until all of a sudden it is apparent. Non negotiable.

We had one shot, and it worked.

#bitcoin


If Satoshi wanted to be known he would be known. Who Satoshi is, is irrelevant.


This


YOU DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE FACEBOOK, TIKTOK, LINKEDIN, OR X BECAUSE IT MAY HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU GOING FORWARD?

THAT IS THE PROBLEM. NOSTR WILL FIX THAT IF WE MAKE IT THE STANDARD.

THE DOMINANT PLATFORMS ARE EFFECTIVELY SOCIAL CREDIT SYSTEMS. SURVEILLED, MANIPULATED, AND CONTROLLED BY A SMALL FEW. YOUR LIFE IS IN THEIR HANDS. NOT YOURS.

USE NOSTR. TAKE BACK CONTROL. LIVE FREE.


A small workout is better than no workout. A small stack is better than no stack. Small steps in the right direction are better than no progress.


As a dev who just likes to build things for fun, something like nostr is what I've been waiting for my whole life.


TIME IS OUR MOST SCARCE ASSET BUT WE CONSTANTLY WASTE IT.

My journey from North Korea to freedom taught me that true freedom is more than escaping physical borders. It’s about breaking free from systems of control. So I see Bitcoin as a tool to help people regain their freedom, not as a matter of being a "Bitcoiner," but as a way to empower individuals to protect their fundamental human rights.


Congrats to 25 years of Euro!

Shitcoiners and crypto bros: "Let's not lose sight of who the real enemy is!"

There is little meaningful difference between the fiat system and shitcoins. It's all differently flavored scams to steal your wealth and sovereignty.

There's Bitcoin, and there's the real enemy.


Back in February I gave a Broken Money book talk at Princeton.

I put more prep into that presentation than any other I've done, since I often do firesides or panels and so forth. Eight months later it's still my go-to reference if someone wants the gist of the book. It recently crossed 100k views on Youtube.

I got an email from nostr:nprofile1qqs9v9et20mnqagtgrnrc5qmzcrgmkt2y3087p23vawqlmyczlhfdcqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejszxmhwden5te0vejk2ern9ehx7um5wghxyctwvshhq6trwvq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmnyrwt363 saying that some  of my data was being deleted automatically.

Although that data is still exposed elsewhere, I really appreciate that Coinkite is at least trying to limit the attack surface for my data automatically.

Good move. Keep up the good work.


It's difficult to comprehend just how dangerous & suffocating it is to have a few, highly controlled avenues for broad communication.

Similarly, its extremely difficult to explain the astonishing power of having broad communication networks that cannot be controlled, and where people can speak freely.

The future is going to be awesome, and it's explicitly because of tools like #Bitcoin, #Nostr, #RSS, and #Pear whether most realize it or not.


Amazing

Lots of debate about the Saylor / Saifedean conversation

I thought it was really interesting

No one really knows what credit will look like in a Bitcoin Standard

They both make good points

I tend to think that (young, less capitalized, etc) people will of course still borrow to buy a car or or a home, to Michael's point

But I also agree with some of Saifdean's points about the inevitable decline in value of government debt

People seemed to hyperlock onto a short clip of it on X and spit takes instead of listening to the whole thing which is unfortunate

There's way too much 100% agreement in this space so a 2-hour animated conversation with two people who do share a lot in common but really disagree strongly on some stuff and aren't afraid to push back is very refreshing

GOOD MORNING. RISK FREE YIELD DOES NOT EXIST. STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS. 🫡


I'm still seriously offended by the lockdowns, the ban on all sorts of innocuous activities and the complete destruction of civil liberties.

And no, I won't let this go.


Good evening.

In the first year after my husband and I bought our house, we kept having the security system’s smoke alarm go off, and it would auto-alert the fire department. A mess, repeatedly.

Literally the same dude would show up, sigh, and be like “you cool?” And I’d be like, “yeah, sorry.”

Eventually I was like… let’s just remove that one. It’s always the problem, it’s too close to the stove. The so-called experts installed it, but from experience it was wrong. So we outed it. Just that one.

And we did, and the problem went away forever. For us and for the firemen.

Sometimes it’s the rules that are the problem. Not the rules’ breaker. Test everything.

If enough people take self-custody of their Bitcoin we win no matter what they try to do.


I see people claiming that a single solution solved all spam issues, but in reality each solution has different tradeoffs. Web of Trust has lots of collateral damage. You filter out legitimate posts from people completely outside your circles. I would hate to lose that.

The best anti spam will likely be a combination of anti spam algos and WoT, allowing people outside your circles if the message doesn’t trigger your spam algo.

Lightning is effective as well, but not everyone uses that.

It feels weird to be proud of a billionaire, but in bitcoin terms I’m a big bro to Michael.

This is a powerfully redemptive moment for him. His Hodl journey has been very public and just as emotive and full of turmoil as the rest of us.

Michael was peers with bezos. He was one of the longest reigning tech ceos from the dot com bubble onwards. Except unlike bezos he was overlooked, his company left to chug along for decades. Neither taking over the world, nor exploding in infamy. Just a solid company that existed in relative obscurity to most of the population. It must have bothered Michael somewhat. Because you can tell that he is just as smart and calculating as his famous peers who’ve gotten all the headlines over the last 25 years. To them he’s like the rest of us Bitcoiner’s. A bit of a misfit. Someone who fell through the cracks.

After years of patience he can now confidently sit in the CNBC studio and declare to the talking heads and the world direct to their faces. “Yes I was right. Yes I am beating all of you”.

That’s the redemptive power of bitcoin. Whether you’re a billionaire or a pleb. You have the ability to reset your world and take your rightful place at the table.

In many ways large and small bitcoin is about renegotiating your place in the world.

It’s ok to let other men fuck your girlfriend, in fact it means you are very secure in your masculinity.

Communism is morally superior to capitalism.

“No event has traumatized me so much as watching nearly the whole of the professional, media, and academic class be entirely fine with the sudden imposition of totalitarian controls on association,  movement, and speech provided they could luxuriate at home - believing there to be a killer virus extant - and hang out on video chats as the workers and peasants kept society running and delivered groceries to their front doors. That same group was thrilled to receive trillions in payments for having done this.

Again, nearly the whole of the top 1/3 of society was just fine with this, and certainly raised no objection. Many within this group manufactured excuses for their deeply disgusting disdain for others.

I doubt I can ever recover the respect I once had for the wealthy, the educated, the credentialed, and the successful. In the Covid period, they deployed their privileges as a weapons against modern ideals and against all the people they (secretly) regarded as their lessers.

This really happened. And it revealed everything.

In the end, they were rewarded for their disgraceful attitudes and behaviors. This reality, again, more than anything I've ever personally witnessed, has shaped my views on nearly everything and fundamentally disrupted much of what I once believed.”

NOSTR IS NOT INEVITABLE BUT IT IS NECESSARY.

You all are so far ahead of the Twitter curve. I’m explaining to someone about fractional banking over there. Normies are so sadly lost in this maze of financial repression.


We should be using this time where they are obsessively focused on fighting Elon Musk to get set and ready. It’s unlikely they will not eventually find the right leverage point. Then after they publicly flog him for a while, they’re coming for us.


Yes This is the way


It may take two or three decades, but #Bitcoin will inevitably defund and rightsize bloated and overbearing governments.

This sly roundabout way is the ultimate, world-changing, peaceful protest.


"If you don’t believe it or don’t get it, I don’t have the time to try to convince you, sorry." SN

Ignore the haters, what we have is too novel and misunderstood.

Just keep building the things, it's super early.


When you say that Nostr can’t scale or that it can be censored, what you are really saying is that an army of developers won’t find a way to relay notes and other stuff.

I’ll take the other side of that bet.


EVENTUALLY EVERYONE WILL USE NOSTR.

GRADUALLY THEN SUDDENLY.


30 years from now you’ll remember what you did during the separation of money and state.

Did you choose the side of freedom or convenient slavery?

Delete your platform accounts. No fuss. No spectacle. No grand finale, no great exit. Leave their houses, leave their prisons, leave the golden cages behind. They all benefit from the noise that you make, so do the one thing that they can't censor. Be silent. Leave. And leave the noise behind.

Indeed, algorithms are societal mind control.

I feel much less stressed out and angry since shutting down all of my prior social media accounts, other than #nostr.

I don’t miss them at all… not even a little bit.

Although unplugging from them (especially X) felt like breaking off a powerful addiction.

Shout out to nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m for the insight while I was still stuck in the matrix.

Few understand that the real war is analog/centralized powers vs digital/decentralized individuals.


It is time for citizens to ban governments that ban personal freedoms.


Markets hate uncertainty… everyone knows this.

In my multi-decade experience, no asset is as *certain* (whatever that means) as #Bitcoin.

If #Bitcoin is confusing and uncertain to you, study more.

Cheers.

Here’s why: https://image.nostr.build/c01cbf357f65c2f0f2f3510aa0e7cb0d88ad0cb2f227a1c131b5827bf2fd73de.jpg

the nostr revolution will be led by nyms, with strong verifiable reputations, not public figures that can be jailed or otherwise pressured in meat space.


At no point in history have we looked back at the men who were censoring speech and say,

‘Those were the good guys.’

good morning nostr, vibes are high in nashville, bitdevs tonight gonna be straight fire 🫡


thoroughly enjoying the peace that is nostr during this part of the adoption cycle - appreciate it while we have it

in a few years nostr gonna be complete chaos - in a beautiful way - but much different than the vibe here now - of course you could curate your experience to maintain the current vibe but imma probably embrace the chaos


four years later this is the reality on nostr

first nostr then the world - sats as the standard unit of value
