 It's weird to see external people that are aligned with Nostr's goals and even the overall design... 
 I want to support academia and inform myself about their work...but dude, you're making this shift VERY hard. https://m.primal.net/LRBP.png

 What  @btcpayserver presented...these are things that change the entire game 
 Why do you need followers? 
In #Nostr when your content...is good, it's going to have the adequate response. Today our main goal (i think) is to build something that can't be censored.

Of course, you want attention. But here's the best advice:

Be the content you want to see
- Naval 
 Flavour origins is (I think) too much undervaluated and every episode I see is a reminder of how little is my cousine knowledge and how much I seek to learn.  It's a documentary about the chinese gastronomy but in every episode, you learn a new idea about to implement in your dishes. 
 With phones in everyone's pockets, we've eliminated boredom.

But also eliminated contemplation a... 
 The contemplation is forbidden these days because is not _productive_. Great ideas comes from boredom and right now, we don't have time to get bored because we have so much "to do", "to see" and when the day is over, you don't have any space to improve because you were busy all day long.

The **vita contemplativa** is not productive to the fiat capitalism style because you're not consuming enough content, your attention is outside of the money-making-algorythm machine. That's why too many people get angry when they see you do _nothing_. And when you do nothing, you get bored. And boredom is the chamber next to a new brand idea.

 The energy I feel when I upload a music to  @wavlake and share with all my circle is just...I can't even describe. I made music because my gf and I had the purpose of create something of our own. Now, with people boosting our music...is just, it feels like you have an audience which is looking for more.

I don't know if people want it more, maybe...but the fact that people is sharing, gives me joy.  
 The force of the screaming in this music is the force of my convictions when I tell the people to buy bitcoin and they don't listen.  BUY #BITCOIN mf but with industrial dubstep

 What a beautiful thing to create music and get value-for-value
It's delightful...HOWEVER, there are no marketing guides to musicians and in order to pursue their goal to get recognition, maybe combine 

music marketing + v4v + philosophy + economic incentives...

gonna start writing...incoming article  
 Is there any marketing guide related to value for value? 
I really love the  @wavlake experiencie doing music and...since I have some experience making ads with social media (eg Meta, X) but I think the v4v must be different, right? 
 hmm...so takes to build then. 
 Thanks for the tip! 
 NO FIAT (bitcoin explained)
https://wavlake.com/album/88c679ef-9094-4578-85ef-7ebe4087388d

My gf and I are experimenting music because...we can. Since she's the one with EDM knowledge and I'm in _this bitcoin sutff_ as she stated in the past[^1], we made some music with bitcoin lyrics because our music have three main objectives:

[^1]: She now studies bitcoin. 

 - Educate: We want to promote the advantages of using bitcoin.
 - Listen music: We love music. We want to give back good music and also promote Wavlake's style of business.
 - Dance: Because...dance is something you have to.

I hope you guys enjoy it.

 It's so much fun to produce music 
 My gf and I have been working in a new album called  "No fiat", a mix of EDM and education lyrics about #bitcoin and #nostr 

So...no more words, more sounds. https://wavlake.com/album/88c679ef-9094-4578-85ef-7ebe4087388d

 I wrote a song and I'm happy, made the arrangements and was published at  @wavlake

 So, let me get this straight please...

- There's a oingoing "attack" against X
- Elon lost money
- They want my "help" (as product) to support their campaign to earn money

You know? It's even better to write about this in Nostr, the place where truly "censorship resistance" means something.

 it looks like people still doing hand-made coinjoin transactions, the only way to prevail a coinjoin transactions is doing it.

Look at the beauty of that https://mempool.space/tx/07faa810c631970f2fe23c61315c64005986156705525d8fb4777e29de7a1b37 
 Explorando diferentes tipos de wallets, tengo algunos criterios formados:

- Mutiny me persigue con su plan "premium" y por eso, ya se ganó mi enemistad.
- Wallet of Satoshi es la mejor custodial. Sí, ya sé que "custodial" y "mejor" en la misma oración no van. Aún así, es un servicio y ya.
- La mejor wallet por lejos del mundo mundial para mi sigue siendo Breez.
- Zeus y Phoenix están buenisimas pero no le llegan a Breez.

Aqua Wallet está en la mira as we speak pero no me hago de esperanzas tampoco. Igual 
 Hello @Derek Ross I sent you a DM 
👍 Thanks  
 Could you give me money? 
 El documental de "My trust in you is broken" de BTCPay es una absoluta maravilla que te recuerda siempre sobre bitcoin y su maravillosa comunidad: de que está hecho, el motivo por lo que hacemos todo y mucho más importante: no puedes detener nada.  
 Cuando el dinero no está de acuerdo a tu nivel de trabajo, es por dos opciones: o bien no te están pagando lo que corresponde, lo cual puede ser debido a una mala administración. 

Pero también puede ser que tu dinero esté siendo descontado del sistema en el cual está proyectado como seguro, confiable y en el cual las autoridades monetarias están haciendo todo lo posible para que vos te sientas lo más seguro posible.

Si te están descontando tu dinero en un sistema donde se está creando deuda de la nada, se llama robo. Y hoy bitcoin puede ayudarte a que eso ya no vuelva a pasar. 
 Bitcoin Halving Party in Ciudad del Este Paraguay
https://twitter.com/partyhalving/status/1768652248957997321

Bitcoin Halving Party, May 4th
Place: District Brewing, Co. (Ciudad del Este, Paraguay) at noon
Two conferences: one in spanish (guests from Argentina and Uruguay) and other in portuguese (BRA)
It's free, pay your own beer and come to the party. I'll be in the spanish conference. 
 And that's it. For my homework, I'm going to learn about Mutiny.  
 Still alive, coming back here to report some stuff from Paraguay 
 Paraguay is a prosperous place to start mining. In the previous days, a bill has been presented that would read as follows: "TEMPORARILY PROHIBITING THE CREATION, CONSERVATION, STORAGE, AND COMMERCIALIZATION OF VIRTUAL ASSETS OR CRYPTOASSETS, CRYPTOCURRENCIES, AND THE INSTALLATION OF CRYPTOMINING FARMS ON PARAGUAYAN TERRITORY". The bill is a measure that legislators, as described in their motivations, found reasonable to combat the proliferation of illegal farms. 
 How do these illegal farms work?

Choose a plot of land, build a hosting where they generally store machines of dubious origin. Next, corrupt officials from the ANDE are requested, through bribery, to connect you to the Medium Voltage system and your mining is up and running. To avoid further inconveniences, a bribery scheme kicks in where everyone is involved: businessmen, drug traffickers, mobsters, authorities from the Prosecutor's Office, Judges, and of course, the same company that provides the electricity.

Context

Paraguay has experienced a heatwave, unlike anything seen in many decades, which has caused the demand for electricity to reach new historical peaks. According to the ANDE, one of the causes of the electrical failures would be the miners who connect to the electrical system. In the first 90 days of 2024, there were raids on these illegal mines where the equipment was "seized". The mentioned company directly blamed the mining sector for these mentioned failures.

The Law

Taking this context into account, the law has these characteristics:
To prohibit, starting from the promulgation for 180 days, any activity related to cryptocurrencies, with an emphasis on mining farms.
In the first three articles, they request the prohibition of the creation, conservation, storage, and commercialization of any cryptoasset or cryptocurrency.

Is it stupid?

Yes. The law itself clashes directly against the National Constitution of the country since it states that you are guilty of carrying out a completely legal activity; this bill is a direct attack and has no relation whatsoever to the theft of energy or anything else.

Will the law work?

So...no. As stated, ANDE is working with those illegals, charging fees up to 3.000 USD per MW/h; the bribery is strong with this and the draft bill is not helping anyone in any way.

And how do you know that the company works with the mobsters?

In the year 2016, the task of laying fiber optic cables to all the power substations throughout the country began, or in other words, the company knows which parts have consumption peaks, how much they need, where, when... and here comes the really funny part, the same company that today mourns the losses, gave contracts to many mining companies. So, where do we stand?

What should I do?

Come to Paraguay, it's just political noise and talk to natives or don't. Either way, nothing has changed. And in second case, just buy bitcoins and do what's best for you. 
 Still alive  
 The folks calling for million+ dollar BTC in 2024 are not serious people. 
 The Satoshi Roundtable at @SN is worth reading every line, every sentence. https://stacker.news/items/269878 
 we're in this part of the time where scammers come with the *bullish market*, they gonna tell you about how to make money, trade with A or B shit, and here we come again. 
 Uninstalled X (former Twitter) because…holy fuck, the amount of spam is astonishing. I can’t believe how fucked up is the platform 
 One thing I won’t understand ever is these bitcoiners shouting pro-candidates in any country.

These fictional laws won’t change nothing. Unless they find a way to delay or stop the timechain, your “legal” shot means nothing. 

Please, learn this anon 
 X is broke, those were phishing scam sites offering airdrops and shit. In just 10 minutes, those are my reports. Long life #NOSTR
https://m.primal.net/HNpM.png 
 Stop writing "NOSTR" in all caps, what are you doing! 
 In my defense, every time I write with the #, the result is #NOSTR automatically.. 😢 
 Hahaha

It’s not only possible but also imagine: 
1. Wanna see repeat? ⚡️ zap 
2. Want to comment? ⚡️ zap nostr:note1k05we3hvxgrqz5u0m5jc0z073t2vyggzeqn08p9mrgfvkspdpyzshrptxs 
 Sunday for books about #bitcoin and 🍖 #meat while sharing at #NOSTR 
https://video.nostr.build/c1d7f4f0b6ec93329920b19602033dc130af987745f07233cfecd8f1e58e415b.mp4 
 something interesting happened to me since I have #NOSTR and is that my time speny doing scrolling or staying in social networks has decreased. But in a good way. Helped me to focus more on other things rather than spend hours scrolling through unneccesary shit.

Tiktok is an example. It's the heroin of social networks and yet, you'll stay there for hours. Here, you'll read your signals and thar's it. It's a perfect time spent. Nostr and #bitcoin altogether fixes social network. This is the future. 
 Few days ago, I posted about a experience with a friend but with this tool, the *reputaiton* thing is just an excuse to stay on twitter if you really want to..big contribution here. 
 Wow, some post I made was very high in response and all that but Damus didn't notify me. Still, and while I disagree some of the answers, it's beautiful to see  
 Spring begins in this side of the world and I think it’s beautiful 🇲🇽🇵🇾 https://image.nostr.build/e92258c2392e078ad3d2ad0396cc67fc2b8b6d6219dc6fdce471a5306b5aa295.jpg  
 What are your favorite hardware wallets, among the latest generation of them?

And are there any ... 
 Personal story: since the Ledger's leak and didn't like Coldcard (sorry, not for me), I decided to take another path: use a very old Android phone, took everything out and just left with two wallets: Bluewallet with the Vault and Samourai Wallet.

First, receive my sats in Samourai and send to Whirpool, after several days, send partially to Vault to where I'm stacking sats.

And then, I'm going to take this phone directly to a lake where I'm going to fish with my phone. Rumor I've been told is fish love phone with private seeds.

 I made an article in @YakiHonne regarding Chainalysis and Roman Sterlingov. This is an unique case where evidece was gathered with software...well, pseudo-software. Let's talk about it https://yakihonne.com/article/naddr1qq2ky6nz0f592wtzxev9y5ejgfzrwazsdpgnzq3qpps3gnrkt6ssuwdys3e62xlwvpygdcv2h58cx8x9a4m9re52rjhsxpqqqp65w5hafyr 
 Just talked for almost an hour with escuelitaBtc, an outstanding Uruguayan that not only understands #bitcoin but transmit his passion even when we talk informally 
 It’s not that hard but show us they have some hope for the system, pretty wild if you ask 
 Just finished “All quiet in the western front” and this is not your standard war hero-wannabe movie, this is factually how war was managed by bureaucracy from civil to militar. Makes me sick to know the differences and how soldiers just died without a fuckin reason. 

To hell with war!  
 This is insightful and we need to address this issue before it's too late.  
 I made an article about the new _privacy pool_ that they're offering as a gift for the state and how dangerous colud be this. Made with love and let's talk about it with the guys at  @YakiHonne https://yakihonne.com/article/naddr1qq2hy4fd2p4yvcf5fp9j6ne32ayxvjz2wadz6q3qpps3gnrkt6ssuwdys3e62xlwvpygdcv2h58cx8x9a4m9re52rjhsxpqqqp65wrwzv9p

 And yet...here we are, bunch of people trying to offer a solution that is so easy to understand and mostly difficult to implement 
 Difficult to implemment == you offer them a way out but they love th golden cage.
