Working on a project and need to find meetup organizers or bitcoiners from Lebanon, Egypt, Japan, Philippines, Turkey, Italy, South Sudan... Please help! #asknostr #bitcoin


You have not provided a single argument why wiping out entire nations would be justified. There is no such case where this will be true, no nation no matter how bad their regime is, has a population that is entirely supporting what that regime is doing. Not to speak from kids who are neutral in every possible way.

So explain to me how this mass murder would be justified. All you can do is making useless comments without any counter argument.


Explain how all those kids living there, that will get killed, are responsible for their regime and therefore deserve to die?


Tell that kids that not yet have been brainwashed , tell that women that have nothing to say in those countries.

After knowing all that, if you now have no problem with all those innocent people getting killed just because they were born in those countries.

We are not even talking about komplex things like those who have been brainwashed their entire life and don't even know there is another reality. Have no way to learn about other realities due to censorship and opression.

If they can we brainwashed, could it be that it happens also in western countries? No surely not, Covid did not expose how easy it is to brainwash intelligent people. Wanting to rob others of human rights and force vaccinate them. No this was totally not happening in the west.

But sure in this case it is all clear they are all evil and need to die, you fucking disgusting warmongers.


That people are responsible is an oversimplification. Tell that North Koreans or other s that will simplyvget executed if they speak up, so to survive they just shut up publicly (until there is a critical mass to have a chance for change)


Building e-commerce from scratch even if simple will be expensive (and imo wasted money). Why not use existing open source solutions like woocommerce, prestashop or magento? All of these have BTCPay integration plugins available and can be installed in a few minutes.

This shows same lack of empathy and respect for other humans that Peter Todd accuses evil countries like Russia, Iran, ... of.

Bitcoin may makes war unaffordable but it won't fix the cruelty some humans.

Peter does not care about wiping out millions of innocent kids, women, men that just happened to be born in the wrong country and not in a peaceful one like himself.

By his logic how many other countries - of people not overthrowing their evil regimes - should be wiped out to get rid of all the evil people? Wipe out 500m, 2bn, 4bn?

This has nothing to do on which side you are. This is about being human or being a soulless warmonger that has no problem wit killing hundrets of million innocent people just because he thinks to know every aspect of history, powers at play and also has the moral high ground about that topic.

Batshit crazy and disgusting.


Here is my own summary of an episode of Once Bitten Podcast from nostr:npub1hghnjjpnvkz8t6gkszuf37d7puwc2qtxc65rnklqsngzv6kkug9qhhfyz2 with Peter Gray on self-directed learning.

1. History of Schooling, Prussia system to teach obedience as major purpose early on for schooling

2. „Internal Locus of Control“-concept :Anxiety and Depression partly linked to decline of Locus of Control on kids…

3. „School is prison“ teached from the Kid of Peter Gray. -> Sudbury Valley School System for self-directed learning. No courses offered, No classes, no teachers, etc. Children playing, exploring (like hunter/gatherer). Joy of learning came back to their kid.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudbury_school

4. What about diploma/certificates?! -> thats how Peter Gray got into his scientific reasearch and turned his life around.

5. „you only fail in school if you don’t obey“.

6. „we come into our world biologically set to educate ourselves“. But we need to create special places for that. Certain Education instincts in kids…

7. „When children have free time they learn a lot iof interesting things“.

8. 10% of families in US do home schooling.

9. unschooling vs home schooling

10. bring more play and less testing

11. Public/normal education system: constant race of stress and anxiety

12. Study during/after pandemic: chilrden are less anxious and more calm, when school and school related activities closed.  Conflicts with parents decreased

13. Fear of Parents: kids falling behind academically - no, they are learning things more importantly. Children anyway don’t learn for life and forget next year what they learned year before

14. „pschologyToday“ - Essays of Peter Gray (https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/contributors/peter-gray-phd)

Una más de democracia

Te entran a robar en casa, te defiendes, y terminas en la cárcel y pagando indemnización a los familiares del delincuente.

El estado español es un estado totalmente fallido.

“El tribunal del jurado que ha juzgado a Pepe Lomas, de 81 años, lo ha declarado culpable de un delito de homicidio con dolo eventual por la muerte de Nelson David Ramírez, hondureño de 35 años al que disparó tras sorprenderlo dentro de su propiedad. La acusación particular, que reclamaba 25 años por asesinato, ha modificado su petición a siete años y medio de cárcel y ha mantenido la indemnización solicitada para los familiares de Nelson David: 236.000 euros. Nelson David tenía 36 antecedentes en la Policía Nacional y nueve en la Guardia Civil.”

nostr is still mainly used alongside twitter. in the best rare case, as a replacement. and only because people are running away from something about twitter they don't like.

there is nothing that people want to run to nostr for yet. zaps were promising, but bitcoin is still a hurdle (one that primal is doing the best at overcoming), and it's doubtful lightning could scale to a massive adoption moment.

nostr needs a feature or experience that's unique and sets it apart. i *think* that is the ecosystem of microapps over the long term...but it's definitely not in the short term. and that might be ok.

for twitter the initial draw was the simplicity and weirdness of 140 characters (we started with zero network effect, facebook had it all...that's built over time). later it became the conversation which lead to the "public square" (owned by a private corporation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). and then as it grew, it had a single point of control/failure people could attack.

nostr doesn't have to worry about that last bit. it's an incredible feature. but not one the average person cares about (no matter how much they yell "FREE SPEECH!"...if people actually cared about free speech, bitcoin and nostr would be all they used...they don't).

all this to say, we're not doomed. but what we think is the killer feature isn't right now. who's going to discover the one that is?


It’s time for miners to wake up and start migrating to Sv2.

Mining centralization is as bad as it’s ever been and the bullishness on bitcoin is totally unjustified given miners don’t seem to care about bitcoin in the slightest.

If it doesn’t get better nearly every PoS chain is literally going to be more decentralized and censorship resistant than bitcoin.

If you care about Bitcoin you are responsible for fixing this. Pressure miners.

dan, wtf is going on over here?


"FIRE THE CORE DEVS"

a reminder...

 https://medium.com/the-coinbase-blog/what-happened-at-the-satoshi-roundtable-6c11a10d8cdf


The blocksize war wasn't so much about the blocksize (or, even, scaling Bitcoin). It was really about who controls the consensus rules and how we upgrade the protocol.

For context, a bunch of startups raised tons of money between 2013 and 2016 based on ridiculous user sign-up projections and then we had a long and painful bear market and they were looking for scapegoats (the developpers that were "throttling the network") to justify the lack of growth. I am thinking here specifically of Coinbase, Bitpay and Blockchain.info.

The vibe I got is that they thought of Bitcoin itself as a corporation, that they were the equivalent of Bitcoin's board of directors because they represented the interest of VC investors, and thus they were entitled to decision making power over the network.

I don't doubt that a few people were genuine about scaling p2p e-cash (e.g. Roger Ver) but I suspect what really motivated them is that they believed control of the Bitcoin network would be an asset to their business interests, and lack of control was being used as an excuse to why their interests weren't being satisfied.

There was also a bunch of developers that I believe may have been afraid of losing their relevance (Gavin and Garzik specifically). Regardless of their intentions or psychology, it seemed clear to me that the consortium of vc-backed startups (particularly Bitpay, Coinbase, blockchain(.)info and Roger) had picked a team of developers they thought they could control and wanted to appoint them as a technical management team whicn would execute their strategy, and these guys were willing to step up for that role.

I was physically in the room when the CEO of Blockchain.info (with the very obvious support of Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong) announced that Bitcoin Core devs were being fired and would be replaced. This was after a couple days of failed discussions with other industry people. This was the moment when I realized what was really going on.

And finally, you had a Bitcoin mining giant (Bitmain) controlling both asic production and mining pools with a vested interest in promoting the idea that Bitcoin was a democracy and the way to vote was to buy hashing power. The main ideology being pushed here was that a formal governance mechanism of the protocol needed to be established and that hashrate was the only objective measure of who makes decisions.

The underlying big blocker ideology was that the chaos of spontaneous consensus of nodes is unpredictable, flimsy, bad for business. The absence of a formal governance process was seen as the root cause of the issue.

These companies really believed they could control the protocol, and controlling development of the protocol was seen as a very valuable asset to your company. I imagine they thought of themselves as the founders of a new consortium that would solidify itself into a permanent institution. The business interests would pay developers and set the goals, and the mining interests would ratify their decisions with hash power voting. That was their plan.

This became blatantly obvious when Bitmain used its refusal to activate segwit as leverage to get what it wanted (a blocksize increase and recognition of its hashpower as a vote mecanism) even though Bitmain iself acknowledged it was not really opposed segwit.

It was classic traditional politics: I'll give you segwit if you give me something in return.

This is the language the VC suits, investors and tech startup people understand and they were very happy to "negotiate" and find "consensus".

This eventually materialized into the New York Agreement, negotiated literally as a backroom deal during theConsensuss shitcoin conference. I was there and I refused to attend.

This (private) meeting consecrated the alliance of startups/investors and bitcoin mining interests in their appointment of a technical management committee. If you think this sounds like Jekyll Island, you're not alone.

They packaged segwit with a blocksize increase (Segwit2x) and decided to force a hard fork as a condition to "allow" us to have Segwit.

We know the rest of the story: we ended up activating anyway via UASF (or more precisely, the miners activated Segwit after they New York Agreement signatories became scared UASF would lead to a chain split which they were going to lose). And the blocksize increase was also abandoned shortly after when they realized their hard fork would cause a chain split and that they would not be able to claim that their new shitcoin is the real bitcoin.

All these people were subsequently were very pissed off they couldn't control the network, which they thought they were entitled to. Some ragequit, others created a bunch of shitcoins out of spite, Roger went on to spearhead BCH as the real Bitcoin, all these fools realized they might as well make some money off of it, everyone went all-in on the shitcoin casinos after that. The "small blockers" eventually went on to evolve into the Bitcoin Maximalists and cypherpunks that today tell you to run your own node and own your own keys.

I just published a new book, this one is specifically on Lightning network. From basic use-cases to explanation of how it works, and a few things that I see coming in the future (or hope for).

The Orange Flash of Freedom: Understanding and using the Bitcoin Lightning network

Bitcoin has created digital gold - empowering many people to freely transact using a non-inflationary, non-manipulable hard form of money. The Lightning network builds upon this innovation, offering a fast, scalable payment network, that can be used to instantly send and receive money over the internet. It is a basic protocol of the internet, similar to e-mail for communication, or web for accessing information or apps. Lightning network can be as complex as you need it to be. Installing and using a current generation bitcoin wallet that supports lightning can be learned in under three minutes. This book gives you an overview of various wallets, the inner working of lightning, bitcoin fees, and proposals to make Lightning scale and be an interoperable payment protocol, even beyond Bitcoin blockchain.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced user, you'll discover that installing and using a modern Bitcoin wallet with Lightning support can be mastered in just a few minutes.

Bad news: I sold Bitcoin today.

However! I did it in the most responsible way I knew how and for a reason I had pre-planned when I first started streaming Bitcoin And . . . live on  nostr:npub1eaz6dwsnvwkha5sn5puwwyxjgy26uusundrm684lg3vw4ma5c2jsqarcgz.

My goal was to earn enough sats to purchase a RODECaster Pro II, a couple more mics, a case etc. so I could go remote.

That happened today.

I used Bitrefill. I sent the sats I had saved up on my Lighting Network node from the streaming and boostagrams to them, purchaced Amazon gift cards and redeemed them. $1266.00 USD

Order is placed and the RODECaster is due this Friday.

You work 8 hours to live 4.
You work 6 days to enjoy 1.
You work 8 hours to eat in 15 minutes.
You work 8 hours and sleep 5.
You work all year just to take a week or two vacation.
You work all your life to retire in old age, and contemplate only your last breaths.

Eventually you realize that life is nothing but a parody of yourself practicing your own oblivion.

Most embarrassing, Vlad and others, not knowing history apparently, helping them whitewash themselves. This can't be stupidity alone?


Now that BSV and Faketoshi saga has ended, Roger Ver and his band of bandits see an opportunity to pump their heavy bags. Disgusting.

Roger runs his bitcoin.com affinity scam to lure people into BCH to this day. He is a scammer and can't be trusted.

🔗Read full release announcement on our blog
https://blog.btcpayserver.org/btcpay-server-1-13-0/

🎨Server Branding
Server owners can now apply custom name to their server. This functionality complements the previously added capability to upload custom logos, allowing for a branded user interface.

Additionally, a new contact input feature allows you to specify an email or an URL. This will be displayed on publicly visible pages of your server and in the sidebar for server’s users, enabling them to easily contact you for support.

https://video.nostr.build/9510dab2c7baf3c1421a08f2c12feab5ac0343ca922ab2ed7f52034738d03949.mp4

🏪 Overview of stores
We've listened to your feedback! Understanding who is using your instance and how is crucial. To further enhance server owner flexibility, we’ve introduced the ability for owners to easily overview the stores created on their server. Currently, admins can access these stores in view-only mode.

👥 Invite new users via email/link
We’ve redefined how users can be onboarded to a server. Inviting users to your BTCPay Server is now much easier. As a server owner, willing to onboard merchants, you can now invite them through email or by sharing a link. Instantly granting them access to their accounts.

In addition to this, we’ve also added approval for new accounts. If you allow user registration on the server, you now have the ability approve new users before they start using your instance.

https://video.nostr.build/5822455f666ad54f165ca19f1c6e975282792e4d768ad9f4f95b3bdc6a7ae1c5.mp4

💁🏻 New store roles: Manager and Employee
This release introduces two new store roles: Manager and Employee. Alongside the existing Owner and Guest roles these roles are designed to streamline the management of user access to your store, making it easier than ever to delegate responsibilities while maintaining tighter access to private data.

https://video.nostr.build/f691282e655ab296bbb0cef26b46f32fd86d51abeb753f209c29e5c8128bc806.mp4

Whoa... this is kind of a big deal... the FDA lost against doctors

“FDA loses its war on ivermectin and agrees to remove all social media posts and consumer directives regarding ivermectin and COVID, including its most popular tweet in FDA history,” Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, one of the doctors, said in a statement. “This landmark case sets an important precedent in limiting FDA overreach into the doctor-patient relationship.”

“We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the settlement as it is a victory for every doctor and patient in the United States,” added Dr. Paul Marik, chief scientific officer of the FLCCC Alliance and another plaintiff. “The FDA interfered in the practice of medicine with their irresponsible language and posts about ivermectin. We will never know how many lives were affected because patients were denied access to a lifesaving treatment because their doctor was ‘just following the FDA.’”

Interesting example, it sounds like all that stuff only applies to regulated entities but then again in your example they might consider that this definition applies.

Yes, trapped in that nonsense I start to miss the forest for the trees.

It is ridiculous and it will get worse unfortunately.


I woke up and chose optimism.

The EU's new rules do not apply on self-hosted wallets because they know they can't regulate that anyways.

Do the work. Run your own setup. We have the tools. The only thing stoping you, is you.

If the EU by accident promotes self-hosting, be my guest.

One connection to an anon VPS which keeps everything up to date and I am not broadcasting my IP address to all my relays any more every time I open a Nostr app.

EU Committee approves:

🚫 Prohibition of cash payments over €10,000

We're planning on purple pilling everyone at BTC Prague!

But, we can't do it without your help. The goal is to have a "Nostr Booth" inside BTC Prague's expo area. Developers want to have their own booth for their own client or micro-service at BTC Prague, but it's expensive. Therefore, we're looking to crowdfund the costs of the booth at the upcoming 3-day BTC Prague event. Developers can then use this shared community funded "Nostr Booth".

Please provide as much evidence and reading material as you can in your answer. Building a free speech platform is important. There are 100s of platforms that claim to be "free speech", none are.  Nostr  seems to be the closest thing we currently have... but I'd really like to see steelman arguments for and against.

I will zap ⚡ the best answers.


After almost a month of work, I'm proud to present part three of my Halving series. Since moving house a month ago, I've spent almost every spare minute drawing. The fourth Halving is approaching! https://image.nostr.build/4559e23e82330ee7d6902d6f57c2e3b7f00d924cd591e2b714d7c8d47ba2172f.jpg

GFM #nostria 💜

Exactly as nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f, we believe that free and open-source software is essential to the future of the internet. For some time, we were wondering how we could help open-source contributors. During Bitcoin Atlantis, the idea of kicking off a community fundraiser dedicated to The Nostr Fund emerged. Well, here we are.

This community fundraiser will start on March 9th and go on for 42 days. 100% will be forwarded to The Nostr Fund, operated by OpenSats.

TLDR: We do a community fundraiser meant to support The Nostr Fund. You donate 21000 sats and may claim a custom NIP05 like satoshi@nostria.space.

OH WOW!

While Friday was a complete and utter takedown of Craig Wright by COPA's KC's Hough and Gunning, I thought there would be little to talk about today and it began pretty dry as we stepped through the expert witness cross with CSW's KC trying to nit-pick over minor issues about whether things were 'technically possible' (the usual ridiculous contortions attemptings to deflect from the obvious indications that Wright is serial forger).

But then Lord Grabiner, KC for CSW's side, out of nowhere presented to the court an email they'd received last week from Craig's wife Ramona purporting to contradict something his former counsel Ontier LLP had said about not having had access to his MYOB accounting platform until 2020 and...get this...he then went on to detail how Shoosmiths asked Ontier to check their email records and...of course...

IT'S A FORGERY! CSW AND HIS WIFE ARE SUBMITTING FORGERIES TO HIS OWN COUNSEL TO RELY ON FOR HIS DEFENSE WHILE THE TRIAL IS HAPPENING!

Together with Bitcoinize and nostr:npub13ljnkd633c7maxatymv3y2fqq8vt3qk7j3tt0vytv90eztwgha9qmfcfhw we are rolling out Point of Sales for all vendors at the conference.

Those new to Bitcoin will use BoltCards and be happy - tap to pay and instantly settle over lightning ⚡!

https://youtube.com/shorts/bhd8zo3KXnE

The best part: this setup is entirely FOSS!

You’re free to clone it, fork it… apply it in any way that serves your efforts to advocate and promote Bitcoin.

H/t to hodlhodl #BH2023 for being the first to deploy this setup.

https://youtu.be/mDeuHh9gqQM

We will not stop until every conference accepts Bitcoin payments.

Fiat is crumbling.
Let's make it obsolete!

Hack0: Open Source Plug-and- Play Bitcoin Node for Vendors

On the British Airways flight from LA to London yesterday, they wanted everyone to board via biometric ID. I asked if I could opt out, and the guy at the desk said, “No, it’s required.” I said, “I’m not comfortable giving my biometric ID to companies which get hacked all the time.” He said “It’s the US government that gets the data.” I told him that was even worse, and he said I could talk to his supervisor.

Supervisor said, yeah, just show your boarding pass over on the side. So I (and my family) did.

Always ask. Always opt out.

You mean ublock origin, yes I use that additionally too, can't have enough ad blockers and spam filters these days.


Yes Brave does a good job, seldomly broken pages but 99.9% no more annoying banners.


Feel free to join our support chat at https://chat.btcpayserver.org Always people around that can help when you are stuck.


Unfortunately not possible to have a proper payment integration as they are closed source service and don't provide any way to integrate with them. Only thing you can do is embed a pay button (via HTML snippet) afaik.


Yes it is free and open source. You can install it yourself at home, on a virtual server or use it custodially by joining a 3rd party host. See https://docs.btcpayserver.org/Deployment/

General information about the project can be found here https://btcpayserver.org


Hey you can do such a setup and after you have BTCPay running, preferably via our docker setup you can use this guide 1:1 https://docs.btcpayserver.org/Deployment/ReverseProxyToTor/

If you run it on Umbrel, Raspiblitz, or other it is more complicated.


Sounds interesting, heard about it on #bh2021 already. Would happen before drinks, riiight? 😬

Thank you very much for hanging in with this and work tirelessly to identify the source of the bug and fix it asap. Thank you for developing this great plugin in the first place.

It shows that we need to care more for the software we use and help reviewing code and doing more adverserial testing or help in any other way to improve it.

You mention that people can donate sats to distribute to people affected, where can we do that? Zap on this post or any special lnaddress or something?


Pretty impressed of nostr:npub1tayp5jjjfqx4ufukxqamsl28wd5pggvteqe6u9n3svjn62lfr0hsp89l42 neither ChatGPT 3 or 4 or any other I tried could answer this question, not even with going back and forth and almost explaning the solution in detail.

That it uses ChatGPT from OpenAI sucks a bit though, hope it will use some open source model and be self-deployable in the future.


I'm working on bitcoin every day because it is one time invention that will change the world, advance humanity and level the playing field for the whole world, no matter if poor, rich, which religion you believe or in which country you live in.

If you want to bring funny jpegs and games onto bitcoin that harm its monetary properties because you have nothing better to do with your life, we are not the same.

If that means that we need to restrict transactions to avoid getting taken over by shitcoiners then so be it. If that leads to a fork, bring it on, let's see where the market sees the value of bitcoin.

Keep your fun and giggle games on shitcoin chains where they belong and GFY.


Wow, that sucks! You did not even break even with it to begin with. Thank you for all your work to help bringing this space forward. Stay strong 🫂

Impressive move 👏


I have been quiet lately, but it is for some good reason.

I am turning my medical device company ( eyenetra.com ) into an open-source project.

As some of you may know, I spent the past 15 years trying to increase access to eyeglasses by developing and shipping a new class of vision-testing devices. Even though we shipped thousands of units and served millions of patients, Nostr made me realize what I was missing all along: true decentralization.

All of our hardware designs and software will be made available to the FOSS community to build their own vision-testing devices and services. And I am going to be working with design/manufacturing partners across the globe to bring them to the market in as many variations as we can.

It has been a long process but I finally have all approvals to make it happen. Thanks to all my shareholders who believed in this idea and allowed me to make it happen.

The future is bright.


You have no reason now to be not using Mullvad's DNS service.

"Our Encrypted DNS servers have now been converted to run from RAM!

If there was ever a song to do it, this would be the song!

Hidden away in the lyrics of The Jetsons are 12 words.
These 12 words in the right order will unlock a bitcoin wallet containing 1,000,000 sats (which at the time of writing is worth roughly $360)

I wanted to give something back to my listeners and the community so this is my gift to you.

I will be releasing clues on how to more easily find the words over the coming weeks. Every ~2 weeks (difficulty adjustment), I will release a new clue to the prize. I will release 5 clues in total and then leave the prize to be claimed.

You can check the onchain address to see if funds have been claimed here > https://mempool.space/address/bc1qly5ksak9tn5f6jy9mdxma6h7c2gq5qxl7d4ul8

*A word of caution. Do not try this for anything other than commercial purposes. Your 12 words (seed) ARE your bitcoin. Never publicly disclose them unless you want the funds to be claimed. For best practices use an open source, non custodial wallet when entering these words, such as Blue wallet (https://bluewallet.io/ ) for mobile, or Sparrow wallet (https://sparrowwallet.com/ ) for desktop.

If you're lucky enough to find the words, immediately send to a fresh wallet with your own 12 secret words.

Good luck finding the prize!

Now go back for a second listen to the song on nostr:npub1yfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9shwv6vg and see how you get on > https://www.wavlake.com/album/c16028bf-ceb4-4200-9463-4b45ea8c0b7b

Hey humans of NOSTR 👋

Lots of you guys seem to love my shorts, and today I'm starting production on something much more ambitious and impactful - a unique short documentary on Bitcoin adoption and finding sovereignty in the most outcast regions of Peru.

I'm hoping to crowdfund the WHOLE thing in sats + zaps, entirely from within the Bitcoin + NOSTR community through nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9 !

https://geyser.fund/project/kineticperu

I would SUPER appreciate it if you could take a minute to check out our page at the link above!

If you're up for supporting the dream, kick in whatever you can (even 1,000 sats helps!) or just giving it a repost or share would be a TREMENDOUS help too 🤙!

And if you're a Bitcoin company or want to get more involved, there are perks/sponsor opportunities for producer credits/mid-roll ads/donation drives etc. as well.

Let's make this a reality 😁!


On Nov 14 the Human Rights Foundation will launch its CBDC Tracker at the National Press Club in Washington, DC

The Tracker will go online for the first time, providing the public with a resource to examine the progress and risks of CBDC implementation worldwide

Like paper dollars or euros, CBDCs are liabilities of central banks

Unlike paper dollars or euros, CBDCs do not offer the privacy protections, neutrality, or finality of cash

Virtually all money today is already digital, but it is typically issued and controlled by private banks and fintech companies, even in dictatorships like China

When consumers use a credit card, spending is at the discretion of the corporation that issued the card

When consumers deposit money into their bank accounts, their funds are liabilities of the bank

CBDCs are an effort to:

1) Replace paper cash with government-issued, government controlled digital credits

2) Reduce the power of private banks

3) Expand state control over the economy

Paper cash doesn’t require identification, can be used by anyone with no discrimination, and cannot be easily tracked

As such, cash is a daily tool of human rights activists, dissidents, and civil society, especially under authoritarian regimes

CBDCs stand to potentially phase out this tool for human rights defenders, making them entirely reliant on currency that is surveilled and easily frozen and censored

Unlike cash, CBDCs can require ID, have expiration dates, be remotely
frozen, and abide by blacklists

HRF believes CBDCs pose a significant threat to human rights work worldwide, especially for people living under tyranny

More than 100 countries are researching CBDCs, while more than 20 have pilots, and a handful of governments have already launched some kind of retail product

Russia, India, the EU, the US, Brazil, and other major governments
have all signaled intent to pursue CBDC projects

HRF considers it important to track these activities and document what risk they pose to human rights

We are pleased to be working with the Bitcoin Policy Institute to launch the CBDC Tracker at the National Press Club in Washington at 10:00am ET on November 14th

We are excited to share the work of the project authors: Nick Anthony, Janine Roem, and Matthew Mezinskis

If you would like to learn more about the project or RSVP to the launch event, please contact nostr:npub1cf3zeytdnwgwzz5pk2ax0vvmmlzad03xcft4d50ejrfhsh8pxcdsefx7gk

We look forward to sharing the resource with all of you on Nov 14

Our mission is to get large privately-run non-governmental organizations, that are building parallel institutions, to adopt #Bitcoin and get thousands of their members onboard too.

The Executive Directors / CEO's of three of the largest such organizations in the country, Sakeliga, AfriForum and the Institute For Race Relations, will be speaking at the conference, addressing the need for #Bitcoin adoption and hopefully learning. From you. From Bitcoiners. From all over the world.

The fact that Elon Musk's title is "Technoking" and Jack Dorsey's title is "Block Head", speaks volumes.

One is about ego, and one is not. But more importantly we can see the difference in their actions more than titles from there.

Elon wants to build Twitter or the shitty name "X" into the next WeChat, with himself as the leader. He has literally said this. I used to be able to report bots on Twitter easily for many years, but now I have to show a drivers' ID to report someone that copies my persona even as a 600k following paid blue check, and so I don't bother anymore, and therefore bots proliferate. And if you don't pay for reach, you get devalued. Only in the past few months have I had to show my ID to report my countless bot copiers if I want to report them on Twitter/X. And so their rate of removal has decreased. If my Nym differs a bit from my name, well LET'S FILE SOME TPS REPORTS!!!! (which wasn't previously the case). And so as bots proliferate, and as Musk fails to contain bots as he promised he would and bragged about with memes, he will instead reference his own self-created bot problem as a reason to require even more ID requirements and try to build his US version of the Chinese Communist Party WeChat app. This is exactly what governments do. In my professional opinion, after careful consideration, Elon Musk can ::check notes::  politely go fuck himself, and those who worship him should reconsider what exactly they show blind obedience toward.

Meanwhile, nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m helps improve the Bitcoin network and the Nostr network and has put capital into them in various ways, and Bitcoin and Nostr have no leader. The fact that Bitcoin and Nostr have no leader, is specifically why Jack puts time and capital into them. He funds many different companies, and for bitcoin, Cash App has been among the networks to incorporate Lightning early. Yes, Cash App deals with domestic compliance issues. But they are trying, and they are early. Their network can connect to many others, like an email provider using SMTP to connect to many others. They're open, they're trying. And now they are making Bitkey, which helps with self custody. They're certainly not a directional enemy of freedom in the way that Twitter/X has been.

Companies that incorporate open networks with various levels of compliance trump companies that purposely don't adopt open networks and instead push new ID requirements, in my book.

+10 Jack
-10 Elon

How #Bitcoin Safeguarded Elections in #Guatemala

Many dismiss BTC as a tool for speculation and terrorist financing. Hear
Rafael Cordon how it secured democratic fair elections using Peter Todd's OpenTimestamps.

New podcast #172: https://btcpodcasting.com/@anitaposch/episodes/how-bitcoin-safeguarded-elections-in-guatemala


In the world of #Bitcoin, obstacles like volatility, skepticism, and regulatory challenges aren't merely setbacks; they're catalysts.

Confronting these hurdles has led to innovation, resilience, and a stronger community. Much like life's challenges refine us, #Bitcoin's obstacles will pave its unique path to adoption.


Obstacles aren't barriers; they're stepping stones. Facing them head-on refines our character and redirects our path towards greater wisdom.

It's through challenge that we truly grow.

If you want to know why a country like Argentina is going to elect as president the current minister of economy with an inflation rate of 150% and no gasoline to refuel in the whole country, you have to watch this documentary.

Summary for lazy people, if you pay the citizens for not working, you end up having a lot of slaves that will vote for you if or if and whatever you do, for these citizens is free money, what they do not understand is the consequences of this.

Any European should watch this video to understand that Argentina is our mirror and that is where Europe is going.

Nostr and Bitcoin fix the impending nightmare that's unfolding on X / Twitter.

“When I say payments, I actually mean someone’s entire financial life,” Musk said.

If you get banned from Twitter, you'd be locked out of your entire financial life. That's scary.

Nostr and Bitcoin cannot ban you and put you in control of your social and financial life without the potential for censorship or needing your personal information.

"Stop resisting, Stop resisting!" is one of the most instantly recognizable phrases of the new American century. When you read the words, you can probably still hear them shouted in your head, the echoing memory of a generational trauma, the indelible recollection of the moment that the citizen became subordinate to the state.


The upcoming FinCEN rule proposal is much larger than being able to coinjoin or mix UTXOs. It essentially applies to opening Lightning channels and creating new and unique addresses for normal Bitcoin transactions. It's bad.

GFM.


As developed nations continue to enter sovereign debt crises akin to the 1940s, there are a few main outcomes.

https://m.primal.net/HOLa.png

Option 1) In a world without bitcoin, or if bitcoin fails, central banks and their governments recapitalize themselves with gold, devalue the people, and do another cycle of this inflationary policy for the next few generations. The Treasury/Fed handbook literally has a written option for this, although it is stated more opaquely. It can be done in the US (and probably many other countries) based on current laws if shit hits the fan. Denmark's central bank and China's economic ministers have also written similar things regarding extreme outcomes. It's pretty straightforward based on the past.

Option 2) We go into a centralized technocratic future. Centralized AI and CBDCs win. People have cuck money that the AI+government control. It's like Brave New World, 1984, take your pick. Hard to say, but not free.

Option 3) Open source money wins. Bitcoin and its ecosystem win. Governments get defunded from their fiat printers, and have to be more honest with their ledgers or default and get reconstructed since they can't print what their people hold as savings, or in the hegemon's case, can't print what the world holds. Probably a world of chaos for a time during the transition, but also an opportunity for peace and building the next era. Keeping track of the nukes would probably be a big deal, like when the Soviet Union fell. It's actually kind of remarkable that they collapsed economically and politically but in an orderly enough way to keep track of and secure most of the nukes.

I don't know which one will win, but I consider Option 3 to be the honorable method; the path of transparency. That's the one I am rooting for and building for.

If I fail, I would like it written that it's the method I tried for, but realistically the AI+government will probably delete most of the records of all of the failures anyway, since that is how history works, without any sort of objective truth keeper. Our best hope is to hide records in a distributed way and hope they can remain undisturbed for a while. At least bitcoiners have a tendency to write stuff in steel and make low time preference things. Some psychopath will hopefully carve a life work in steel in a cave or something, but who knows, lol.

And ironically, if Option 3 wins, any of the losing factions could still insert their ideas and paths into the Bitcoin blockchain, now or in the future. It's the most immutable database that we know how to build, and would preserve their ideas as it does our ideas. Like, you know what? I *want* the Communist Manifesto to be in the immutable Bitcoin blockchain, because I want people in the future to know how *bad* it is. It might already be in there; I don't know. I wouldn't want people centuries from now to think about those ideas and believe they came up with something new; I want to preserve my enemies' texts because I believe I can win through markets, force, virtue, and truth.

I think that's almost always what determines the winning side. Losers want to burn their enemies' texts to ensure that their good ideas don't spread too much. Winners want to preserve their enemies' texts to ensure that their bad ideas are never repeated.
