 Stop calling raw milk ‘raw’ 

It’s just milk 

Start calling pasteurized milk ‘pasteurize... 
 THIS IS THE CORRECT TAKE.

THE TERM RAW MILK IS A PSYOP. 
 THE RIDE OR DIES ARE HERE.

STARVE THE BEAST.

PAY WITH BITCOIN. 
 NOSTR HAS BEEN MY ONLY SOCIAL MEDIA FOR A YEAR NOW AND IT IS FUCKING AWESOME.

WE HAVE MADE INSANE PROGRESS. ONWARD. 
 LMFAO WONDER HOW MUCH I BURNED. 
 Instead of rushing to get a VPN just so you can lock yourself inside Elon's prison now, what Braz... 
 DID THIS FOR THREE MONTHS AND NOW MY FRIENDS ONLY SEND ME SCREENSHOTS. 😂 
 I really don’t get it nostr:note122zgdh2d6gx5v5ydmqjtwcy3rztjxte25rphssfl6r2qtua2fc5sventkz 
 OPENSATS DOES NOT FUND MARKETING. 

WE ARE FOCUSED ON SUPPORTING HUNDREDS OF OPEN SOURCE CONTRIBUTORS.

IF YOU THINK MORE MARKETING IS NEEDED THEN DO IT. 
 IT MAKES SENSE ONCE YOU REALIZE ALL THESE NUMBERS ARE BULLSHIT.

NOSTR IS POPPING RIGHT NOW. IT IS ALREADY INCREDIBLY USEFUL.

BLINDERS ON. KEEP PUSHING FORWARD.

 TECHNICALLY SPEAKING THE BRAZIL X BAN IS TRIVIAL TO CIRCUMVENT.

THAT IS MOSTLY IRRELEVANT.

WILL LIKELY STILL BE EFFECTIVE AT SILENCING BRAZILIANS WITH LARGE AUDIENCES. LARGE KNOWN X ACCOUNTS. THEY WILL RISK PUNISHMENT IF THEY POST. 

NOSTR DOES NOT FIX THAT. 
 CORRECT. 

NO PERMISSION REQUIRED. 
 LIVE FREE. 🫡 
 NOT YET BUT PROBABLY IN THE FUTURE. 
 YES. 
 NOSTR GIVES YOU MANY OPTIONS ON HOW YOU CHOOSE TO EXPRESS YOURSELF.

NO PERMISSION REQUIRED. 
 STOP COMPLAINING.

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
TAKE ACTION.
LIVE FREE. 
 MAYBE IF YOU LEARNED TO READ YOU WOULD STOP COMPLAINING 
 South American Nostr users:

if we held the next Nostr Fest in Uruguay, Argentina or Brazil, what... 
 WE SHOULD RIP ARGENTINA OR URUGUAY.

BRAZIL WILL PROBABLY TRY TO BAN NOSTR IN SIX MONTHS. 
 SORRY FOR THE DELAY. RHR FROM LAST SATURDAY IN RIGA HAS BEEN UPLOADED. WAS A GREAT CONVO AND STILL HIGHLY RELEVANT. 🫡

THIS WEEKS RHR WILL BE LIVE TOMORROW AT 1500 UTC.

 THE COMBINATION OF SIGNED MESSAGES AND KEY REPUTATION SYSTEMS WILL RESULT IN NOSTR BEING THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT OPEN DATA SET IN THE WORLD.

IMAGINE FADING THAT. 
 THE VERIFIABLE REPUTATION OF THE AUTHOR OF A NOTE.

HUMAN OR BOT. HISTORICAL PROOF OF WORK. 
 @Alex Gleason BUILT TRUTH SOCIAL AND NOW WORKS ON BUILDING OUT NOSTR. 
 THERE WAS A DELAY GETTING THE RECORDING FROM THE CONFERENCE TEAM. 

IT WILL BE PUBLISHED TODAY. 

THIS WEEK’S RHR WILL BE STREAMED LIVE TOMORROW AT 1500 UTC. 
 HE IS ON A MUCH NEEDED VACATION. 
 TODAY IS THE TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEATH OF BITCOIN LEGEND HAL FINNEY.

HIS WIFE, FRAN FINNEY, WILL BE JOINING US ON CITADEL DISPATCH TODAY AT 2100 UTC TO CELEBRATE HIS LIFE.

JOIN US IN THE INTERACTIVE LIVE CHAT. 🫡

 Either Nostr evolves to have every client being a relay, or it will fail. The risk is the same as... 
 EVEN IF NOSTR CENTRALIZES ON A SINGLE RELAY, AND NO IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE, NOSTR WOULD STILL BE A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT OVER THE EXISTING STATUS QUO.

WE WILL DO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT THOUGH. 
 If the nostr critics on X actually used nostr enough to understand it, they would understand why ... 
 WHO WILL BUILD THE ROADS.
WHO WILL RUN THE NODES.
WHO WILL RUN THE RELAYS.
WHO WILL RUN THE MINTS.

RETARDED. 
 LETS FUCKING GO.

IT IS ALL COMING TOGETHER FAM.

GRADUALLY THEN SUDDENLY.

 WILL LOOK INTO IT.

WE ARE PRETTY OVERWHELMED WITH APPLICATIONS. WE WILL GET BETTER.

FWIW WE PROUDLY SUPPORT BITAXE THROUGH AN EXISTING GRANT. INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT WORK.

 Late night question, which app/interface are you all using for Nostr? I’m on Primal and Damus. 
 GONNA BE THE REPLY GUY THAT TAGS @Zapstore .

THAT SHIT IS GOING TO CHANGE THE WORLD. 
 RUNNING EVENTS IS EXHAUSTING, EXPENSIVE, AND OFTEN THANKLESS.

BIG PROPS TO THE RIGA CREW FOR PUTTING TOGETHER AN INCREDIBLE WEEK. 🫡

@Marce @Anna @Max Kei @btcpayserver 
 1) THE INTEGRATED WALLET IS OPTIONAL.

2) THERE ARE MANY OTHER CLIENTS.

3) YOU CAN CREATE MANY NPUBS WITHOUT PERMISSION OR FRICTION.

FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT THAN A WALLED GARDEN PLATFORM THAT EFFECTIVELY SHADOWBANS USERS IF THEY DO NOT PROVIDE INTIMATE PERSONAL INFO. 
 ALL THE ABOVE CONSIDERED PRIMAL STILL SEEMS LIKE THE BEST CLIENT FOR NEW USERS AT THE MOMENT. 
 THIS IS AN MVP.

PRIMAL ONBOARDING IN A YEAR WILL LOOK COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. 
 OPEN PROTOCOLS SEEM TO GROW SLOWER THAN CENTRALIZED COUNTERPARTS IN THE BEGINNING BUT THEN GROW FASTER AS NETWORK EFFECTS COMPOUND ACROSS DIFFERENT APPS AND USE CASES. 
 IT IS IMPORTANT TO SPEAK CLEARLY. 
 THERE IS ALWAYS RISK.

KEY IS TO MINIMIZE RISK AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 
 DECENT SHOT NOSTR HITS 500M USERS BEFORE BITCOIN.

THEN INTRODUCES BILLIONS TO BETTER MONEY.

 ALL IN ON NOSTR.
