That’s always something I think humans can learn. You should try the music IQ test online, specifically pitch matching section, to see if you can hone that skill. If you can do that you’re 80 percent there. Just then sing the individual notes of a melody and check yourself. You’ll be in the neighborhood fast


Just chiming in on the conference yesterday. Trump speech was exactly what I thought it would be - good that he was there but empty on understanding and promises. I still maintain my position that just pardoning Ross and being neutral to Bitcoin would be a terrific win.

Senator Lummis and RFK at least did their homework and Lummis has been very consistent in her advocacy. Good all around.

My verdict is bitcoin magazine people hyped this way too much … but that’s their job and their conference. I wouldn’t expect less and it seems a lot of people had a ton of fun.

Still happy to be part of this movement and I have learned an incredible amount about so many different things.

Thank you, friends

No matter how far I go there is a world more to learn.


Frens - I am a little behind on my understanding of this. Is there a place I can get a one step back primer on this?

If it’s real - they couldn’t even be bothered to send a nicely formatted invitation? Lol


nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m please don’t get too discouraged because we need you to help us get bitcoin to a more durable and powerful place to fight this. I know this is a high stakes game, but bitcoin is our only option. Thanks for everything you’ve done so far.

We need better privacy options but I know the feds are making that very difficult if not impossible for companies. What else can we do in your opinion other than mine with ocean?


Wait why


I hear you and I agree but I meant adding friction by actually having an orientation and attitude against these things rather than tacitly supporting it. I was more thinking about the folks who would relish someone “taxing the rich” etc

Because if people’s attitude was changed and saw someone go to jail for something silly like this perhaps we would have a stronger reaction towards it instead of the apathy we see now.

Anyway thanks for the response


Yes but which PR?


I hope you’re right about this - I would want to help out a project like this.


What do you propose, magoo?


We know, Marty. But what can we do about it? I have seen no solution or suggestions and can’t think of any besides the obvious financial support of their legal defense.

People just don’t care - they don’t listen - they side with the government most of the time.

What can we do? I am really asking - I’m feeling pretty discouraged


I honestly don’t know why I am surprised but I am.  People just won’t wake up. They even support this - privacy is essentially dead.

What can we do?


Very difficult to make privacy tech ubiquitous when most people don’t even care about it. People almost gleefully say “oh the government will find some wan to ban it” not understanding their complicit attitude about it all while signaling they’re unwilling to even TRY to add any friction.

Not to mention when the privacy tech is implemented - the government hunts down the inventors and jails them. And we do nothing about it


I am so discouraged today. After being forced to pay a good portion of my money in taxes, they then propose absurdly higher taxes. On top of jailing the guys at Samourai - they threaten to throw us all in jail. I don’t really feel bullish on anything. What will we do?Voting obviously doesn’t work and I don’t think people have the spine to stand up to any of this.

I honestly don’t think any of this is fixable - I am a huge advocate for Bitcoin and will continue to be but … damn. Maybe we will fund the legal bills of the samourai guys? What then? These people in government never stop - they’ll take MORE than everything we have. Assange and Snowden are still on the run - Ross is still in prison. I feel like we need a win … but how can we get it?


I am assuming his position is development at this point is more risky than freezing or ossifying? Also … do you really think he has been focusing time and energy on killing small donations? Idk man - respect for living your convictions either way and not simping for anyone


real stupid question - how do I open the note link?


Good afternoon, friends. trying out primal - any of you using it?


Nevermind I think I’m a dummy lol


Am I seeing this correctly? Spent 10 sats and should have had 990 but restored to 1000?


What the hell are you on about? Lol


Wow! The zaps are so much more fun than I thought they’d be lol thanks for the warm welcome!


First post here on NOSTR. I find it difficult to search for people to follow. Any tips other than hunting for npubs on twitter? Thanks happy to be here
