One potential workaround would be to use flare.pub to publish all of your videos.  When you upload them there is an option to add a web link. I don’t believe YouTube links work but Vimeo links definitely do. Then you could build a library on there and share links to clients such as nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 and nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg

The full videos will also appear natively on other clients such nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x

It isn’t optimal, but it is an option.

I often forget that if you are reading this and on nostr, you are part of an extraordinary high signal group that understands on some level WTF is going on.

Don’t get dismayed by the haters, detractors, doofuses, and dumbasses. Building this tool and other parts of the sovereign tech stack will be one of the keys to keeping humanity free in the future. Keep building frens.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.” - Alexander Tytler

Right now:

Fiat= From apathy to dependence
Bitcoin= From bondage to spiritual faith.

As I sink further and further down the rabbit hole, I have a very hard time listening to smart individuals who do not understand #bitcoin

They nail the problems we face, provide really good insight on economics/macros/culture/etc. — but always suggest stupid solutions (bigger government, more regulation, repealing the19th, UBI, buying gold, etc.)

The TED talk guy (Scott Galloway) comes to mind. His TED was spot on and captured tons of interest in waking up the normies (great!) — but it falls flat when he is completely missing the root cause.

Was happy to see nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a orangepill him a bit here.

Being on nostr is great just for the simple fact that you aren’t running up against pentagon level psychological and brainwashing operations from global corporations and nation states.

It’s very calm and quiet.

Interesting episode.

😂😂😂

Yes- except the number that fluctuates in the former is printed endlessly, while the number that fluctuates in the latter is finite.

$690,000 per bitcoin will be meaningless when a Big Mac costs $150.

1$ now can get me 1449 sats.
1$ then will get me 149 sats.

In the first 10 years, the sats per dollar was too high to have meaning.

Now the dollars per bitcoin number is getting too high to have meaning.

The mental shift is important. It helps us understand that the dollar is going down, compared to everything else “going up”

We can’t expect the entire world to hold 100,000,000 sats- so why not demonstrate how many of them they can actually afford?


1450-1500

Dollar is useless to measure in unless it is telling you how many sats you get.

As an artist with similar concerns- ultimately I don’t think there is anything we can do. Bots will [or already have] scrape the entire web.

Just need to innovate and use the news tools available to us.

Maybe. I genuinely don’t know.

I tend to believe that as long as everyone’s standard of living improves year on year; then those who gravitate towards socialism might not feel the same level of remorse towards those who have more than them- as they do today.

I’m talking150+ years out at a minimum though. During the transition the commies will absolutely try to steal from wealthy Bitcoiners.

Capitalism will still exist.

It will just be *real* free-market capitalism; instead of the crony, subsidized, government picking winner and losers, style we have today.


I’ve contemplated this topic a lot. I think that once we are on a full Bitcoin standard, socialism becomes irrelevant. The only reason it has flourished over the years is because certain group of society feel that they are being unjustly taken advantage of (which is true).

Once everyone in society benefits from true free market capitalism; and everyone’s life becomes better each year (including the lazy and poor) — it should slowly fade.

Announcing: Harbor, an ecash desktop wallet for better bitcoin privacy.

https://blog.mutinywallet.com/harbor/

Privacy for the common person is a value worth fighting for. When we see a lack of freedom tools, we must build them into existence. They don't appear on their own.

Much has been said about privacy at the Bitcoin protocol level. For now, we build it on higher layers where we can be more nimble.

Ecash is a tool available today that combines with Bitcoin to bring new levels of common privacy. Cashu and Fedimint are two existing implementations we're interested in.

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

Harbor Privacy: All communication runs over Tor. Mutiny is not in the middle of any connections or transactions. Funds in the wallet get a Privacy Score to show how the mints provide privacy over time. More to come on this in the future.

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

Harbor Multi-mint: Instead of relying on a single mint with your funds, spread the risk over dozens or more. Harbor manages this for you, showing you a single balance while connecting with mints for you. A mint can go offline with minimal impact on you.

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

Harbor Automation: Running as a desktop app unlocks ability to do long running processes in the background. Move money in and out of mints on your preferred schedule to maximize your desired level of privacy. Harbor makes suggestions, but you are in control.

Move money in and out of Harbor using Lightning or on-chain. We love Bitcoin, and we love privacy. We hope Harbor gives everyday people more privacy and peace of mind.

What year did you get married? We stayed under 10 last year. I can’t imagine 5k is still possible post-2020.


Backyard wedding was the best choice we ever made. Wouldn’t have wanted it any other way in hindsight. No one really cares about the venue and extras in the grand scheme of things.  Celebrating with family and friends is what really matters. Put that extra money into things that really matter.


Get a mechanical watch, carry a wad of cash. Leave your phone at home. Head out into the world like this at least once a week and enjoy life without any digital bullshit. Thank me later.


Freedom isn’t free.


Great call. You won’t miss it.

People don't often realize that Coracle is not only a twitter-like client, but also has calendars, marketplaces, and groups.

In the latest release, groups have gotten the WoT treatment — when browsing groups, instead of getting a random assortment, they're now sorted by how many people you follow have joined them.

https://cdn.satellite.earth/7ce5f26e0d778ca1a1124d0780bc5e264a50af116c05c18140f299db691d5500.png


It’s a fair point and well noted.

Obviously I was being a bit hyperbolic; but I still believe what I said. Both assets mentioned above do not stack up on the same timeframe.

You could say 15 years isn’t long enough to make a judgement, but as real estate continues to fall against BTC- I believe many will start selling 2nd/3rd/rental/commercial properties for bitcoin.

15 years into a process I believe will take over 100 to fully complete is still “in progress” in my books!


Now measure it in Bitcoin.


🚨 PSA 🚨

Real estate is not money.

It will not end well for those who treat it as such.

Demonetization in progress.

Can we please get some prominent Bitcoiners to go take on the redpill/manosphere/tradcons?

They get a lot of the problems in society correct- but don’t seem to understand that it is not the women/democrats/etc. causing these problems.

Repealing the19th isn’t going to help in the way they think it is. Especially if the money is still corrupted.

Basically every problem they complain about goes away with a return to sound money.

We need them to go deeper.

I might also add that the as*holes in charge of our money have ensured that playing this game is one of the only feasible ways to “save” for the future.

Millions of soulless paychecks getting siphoned into the rigged game every month just to avoid getting robbed in the future.

Thousands of fake jobs created to “help” the normies play the rigged game.

Hundreds of unproductive zombie companies kept on life support; with the biggest of them all sucking up a bigger and bigger share of the “market” to make stupid business decisions free of any competition.

Imagine where we would be today on a Bitcoin standard.

Free from the central planners. A truly free market that sets real prices.

A market that stamps out losers and squashes bad ideas immediately.

Fix the damn money already.

“Read this 500 page book” doesn’t always go over well, but “watch this half hour video” is more approachable.

So, hopefully it’s helpful:

Agreed. Most of the people I talk to have just never even considered *why* homes/stocks/food/etc. continue going “up”


Riding my Harley across the USA to over 30 Bitcoin meetups, I noticed a unique camaraderie among Bitcoiners.

What I saw overall saddened me: decaying small towns, frustrated people, misguided anger... From the ground, I saw my former home descending in to division.

Except at Bitcoin meetups.

Here I found diverse individuals civilly discussed critical topics—family, health, business, philosophy—across professions and political divides (imagine that...)

Lawyers speaking with construction workers, ranchers with technologists, Democrats with Republicans…

Bitcoin seemed to unite people under an umbrella of hope and pragmatism, in a time where these are rare in society. I see a deeply-held belief among Bitcoiners that individual responsibility and freedom lead to the best outcomes for society.

When that belief is shared, many of the topics that usually drive anger and division lose their teeth. Bitcoin meetup organizers deserve all the credit for creating spaces where this unity grows.

So after my tour ended, I had to figure out how to do my part…

I wanted to bring Bitcoiners together, and do it in a way that underpinned the ideas of sovereignty and freedom.

For me, travel brought sovereignty. I tasted a new sense of self-determination and purpose when I moved abroad to Chiang Mai, Thailand. I tasted a new sense of freedom when I started riding motorcycles.

So what better way to bond Bitcoiners than over a motorcycle trip?

Thus, the Ride of Passage was born.

But the Ride of Passage is far more than a motorcycle trip.

What is this Ride of Passage all about?

This is a tour money can’t buy. Not just because we venture to places no tourist goes, but because the entire experience is designed to bring about a change in each participant.

I want you to return home with more than just photos. I want you to return home with a piece of you changed, for the better. More free, more resolute, more sovereign.

The Ride of Passage is not a vacation. It is a challenge you take on knowing you will come out the other side a stronger and more open person.

And, by the way, you’ll experience this transformation through riding unforgettable mountain twisties, tasting incredible local food, and learning the untold histories hiding in the hills of Northern Thailand. Treated to the best hospitality available in the world.

Just ask nostr:npub1sr7fvctcfdlcsepzseqx8dw7kkuv2gaz280xg6f4mt8k8ewx7m8quz2ggm  who embarked on his dream of traveling the world after he took a Ride of Passage.

Who’s the Ride of Passage: Magical Thailand Tour for?

This Ride of Passage is for anyone in search of sovereignty; mainly Bitcoiners. This is an adventure for those who value freedom, seek deeper connections, and are drawn to the unknown. Limited to just 8 riders who will be personally vetted by me.

Still have questions? Feel free to ask me, or anyone who was on the first Ride of Passage, like Texas Slim.

The money is so clearly hyper-inflating. Most people are too naive or ignorant to realize.

“Wow! My stocks have gone up so much! Wow my house is worth double!”

People think we are crazy for saying Bitcoin is going up forever. It is when measured against clown currency.

I just hope people realize what happens to the home/stocks/etc. when they are finally measured with true price signals.

Freedom, privacy, and prosperity or slavery, surveillance, and censorship.

The choice is yours.

Resist. https://image.nostr.build/e3beb553a9780cdfab5860c1e0ba2fabb30e31f96924b4a3a8f9bb1db18aab03.jpg


The entire developed world tax apparatus that was built in the 20th century and extends into the 21st century depends on ubiquitous financial surveillance.

They are not going to give that up without a fight. I have been saying at a number of conferences and podcasts that privacy is the main battleground for the next decade.

Back in the 19th century and before, money was mostly private. There were plenty of dictators but there was no major method of surveilling all transactions. Therefore things like broad income taxes were untenable to enforce.

But in the 20th century as money increasingly moved around at the speed of light, people needed bank accounts to keep up. It wasn’t all forced on them; they chose it. And those bank accounts were centralized, surveillable, and ruggable.

This allowed authorities to switch to income taxes, which require ubiquitous financial surveillance to work. And ultimately it allowed them to switch to fiat currency altogether.

Now in the 21st century, Bitcoin and its various layers allow people to hold and move around money globally without permissioned banks. They can do so peer to peer, or they can do so with custodians and open layers, etc. Unlike the base layer of fiat, the base layer of bitcoin is permissionless.

But this represents a threat to the entire current system of taxation and financial control. If bitcoin and particularly various private methods on top of it were to be adopted at massive scale, the entire tax structure and other things would need to reshape themselves around that reality. And so they won’t make it easy; they will try to criminalize financial privacy as much as possible while the network is still pretty small.

The only solutions are to 1) make privacy tech so ubiquitous that it can’t be isolated and can spread organically in a distributed way and 2) to apply legal pressure when possible so that governments sort of have to operate within the bounds of their own law, like the 1st and 4th amendments.


When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

If anyone wants a good laugh

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b3KNMINboCU


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.


If I ran an online #Bitcoin session specially for people new to Bitcoin who'd have friends they'd like to send along?

We'd cover:
* what Bitcoin is
* an investment comparison
* how to hold it, simply
* some myth debunking
* benefits to civilization


This is the correct move. It is a genuine cesspool.


Congrats Pablo. Looking forward to using the services and onboarding more people to them.

Idk if people are ready for this, but I believe the world is. First tests of USD Ecash. Backed by BTC.

Everyone can run a mint. Everyone can make a wallet. USD can be spent everywhere BTC is accepted. Open protocols all the way down. No gatekeepers. This is only possible because of the permissionless nature of Bitcoin.

You'll zap USD on Nostr and you'll be happy. It's going to be so insane.

Short photo-stories of the hidden, hard to find, obscure, and off the beaten track. If you see or read anything that you enjoy - please like, boost, follow. Zaps are always welcome! All stories and photos are my own.

Take a walk with me…

Find a dingy, non-descript alley in a suspiciously quiet corner of Bangkok’s Chinatown. Walk down it. Pass a small prayer shrine and approach an old wooden door. You were told that there is a bar here, yet nothing suggests that this is so…

Wait! Closer inspection reveals a simple bronze plaque, out of place for its polish and newness, “cocktails 3rd floor.” Up the stairs then! The landing on 3 presents a white sign with the Chinese character for bitter, ku/苦, and a red arrow pointing right.

Pass through the threshold, enter a new space. To your right, a large expanse of barren concrete, an empty “room.” Tripods for…some kind of filming? A man-sized, locked container. Yet, you did not come here to ask questions, such things are none of your business!

And to your left, you find the golden door. Approach. Enter. Be greeted. You have done well! You have found it. 苦 Bar. You are among friends now. Inside exudes weirdness - in the etymological sense - the bending of destinies, control of the fates. For the patrons, a quiet and sacred space.

But, Taste! Taste is the order of the day! Bizarre, Obscure, Arcane - you find a most unique use of flavors, flavors beyond name. Buddha’s hand, burnt cedar charcoal, ylang ylang, strawberry, wild roots brought in by friendly travelers, and many other things. But, Taste! The drinks here are not so much to be liked or disliked, but rather, experienced without judgment.

In the inner room, you may find another set of stairs, down this time, leading to the second place -  KANGKAO. A natural wine bar. Cozy, botanical, industrial, enclosed. The kind of private setting where you might overhear “State Department” and “UN” types chatting with their Chinese counterparts. But don’t look or listen too hard! Surely, there’s no reason to be rude… Remember, you are among friends now.

苦 Bar. Bangkok. There are secrets to be found. Go there.

Parting ways with my longtime friend- a Demo 8 Sam Hill edition. These rarely go up for sale anymore as they are limited edition of 250.

Rear rim is dented and needs replaced (this is the only major replacement). Bike has cosmetic scratches and show of wear- but no major structural damage. Tires are in good shape. Front and rear suspension both in good condition. Brakes need flushed but work fine. Gears and derailleur shifting okay. A great downhill rig and a piece of mountain bike history!

If the posting is still up -- the bike is still available.

## Chef's notes

The original Di Shui Dong ribs (and this recipe) use pork spare ribs- but I have made it using beef short ribs and lamb shanks as well. You can substitute for whatever ribs you prefer; the taste will remain the same.

Recipe is originally credit of 'Da Dinner Roll' -- Go show them some love below ⬇

- 2 tsp. minced ginger
- 1 tbsp. finely chopped garlic
- 2 fresh red chilies, seeded and finely chopped
- 2 tbsp. cumin seeds
- 2 to 4 tsp. dried chili flakes
- 2 spring onions, green parts only, finely sliced
- 1 tsp. sesame oil

## Directions

1. Fill a large stockpot ¾ full with cold water. Add the sliced garlic, ginger and shallots, followed by the aromatics. Add light soy, shaoxing wine and Chinese rock sugar and bring to a boil.
2. Strain the mix through a fine sieve and add the ribs. Simmer for 1 – 2 hours turning the ribs occasionally. Switch off the heat and let sit for 30 minutes. Transfer ribs to a dish and cool in the fridge.
3. To prepare the spice coating, mix cooking wine, salt, soy sauces, flour and one tablespoon water in. large bowl.  Add cooled ribs and mix to marinade.
4. In a wok, heat peanut oil to about 275 degrees. Add ribs and stir gently for two to three minutes, then remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain well. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of oil in wok. Over a high flame, add the ginger, garlic, fresh chilies, chili flakes and cumin seeds and stir-fry briefly, until they are fragrant. Return ribs to the wok and stir well, seasoning with salt to taste.
5. When ribs are sizzling and fragrant, add spring onions and toss briefly. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil.

Abiquiu Lake is across from Ghost Ranch, visible from Highway 84. Located in the shadow of Georgia O'Keeffe's favorite mesa, Cerro Pedernal, the 5,200 surface acre reservoir offers some of the finest fishing in northern New Mexico. For amateur paleontologists, reptile fossils 200 million years old have also been found in the area.

# Nostr is not decentralized nor censorship-resistant

Peter Todd has been [saying this](nostr:nevent1qqsq5zzu9ezhgq6es36jgg94wxsa2xh55p4tfa56yklsvjemsw7vj3cpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5qy8hwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddaksz9rhwden5te0dehhxarj9ehhsarj9ejx2aspzfmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82cspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmnyqy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfnsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wspzpn92tr3hexwgt0z7w4qz3fcch4ryshja8jeng453aj4c83646jxvxkyvs4) for a long time and all the time I've been thinking he is misunderstanding everything, but I guess a more charitable interpretation is that he is right.

Nostr _today_ is indeed centralized.

Yesterday I published two harmless notes with the exact same content at the same time. In two minutes the notes had a noticeable difference in responses:

![](https://blob.satellite.earth/53b3eec9ffaada20b7c27dee4fa7a935adedcc337b9332b619c782b030eb5226)

The top one was published to `wss://nostr.wine`, `wss://nos.lol`, `wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com`. The second was published to the relay where I generally publish all my notes to, `wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com`, and that is announced on my [NIP-05 file](https://fiatjaf.com/.well-known/nostr.json) and on my [NIP-65](https://nips.nostr.com/65) relay list.

A few minutes later I published that screenshot again in two identical notes to the same sets of relays, asking if people understood the implications. The difference in quantity of responses can still be seen today:

![](https://blob.satellite.earth/df993c3fb91eaeff461186248c54f39c2eca3505b68dac3dc9757c77e9373379)

These results are skewed now by the fact that the two notes got rebroadcasted to multiple relays after some time, but the fundamental point remains.

What happened was that a huge lot more of people saw the first note compared to the second, and if Nostr was really censorship-resistant that shouldn't have happened at all.

Some people implied in the comments, with an air of obviousness, that publishing the note to "more relays" should have predictably resulted in more replies, which, again, shouldn't be the case if Nostr is really censorship-resistant.

What happens is that most people who engaged with the note are _following me_, in the sense that they have instructed their clients to fetch my notes on their behalf and present them in the UI, and clients are failing to do that despite me making it clear in multiple ways that my notes are to be found on `wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com`.

If we were talking not about me, but about some public figure that was being censored by the State and got banned (or shadowbanned) by the 3 biggest public relays, the sad reality would be that the person would immediately get his reach reduced to ~10% of what they had before. This is not at all unlike what happened to dozens of personalities that were banned from the corporate social media platforms and then moved to other platforms -- how many of their original followers switched to these other platforms? Probably some small percentage close to 10%. In that sense Nostr today is similar to what we had before.

Peter Todd is right that if the way Nostr works is that you just subscribe to a small set of relays and expect to get everything from them then it tends to get very centralized very fast, and this is the reality today.

Peter Todd is wrong that Nostr is _inherently_ centralized or that it needs a _protocol change_ to become what it has always purported to be. He is in fact wrong today, because what is written above is not valid for all clients of today, and if we [drive in the right direction](nostr:naddr1qqykycekxd3nxdpcvgq3zamnwvaz7tmxd9shg6npvchxxmmdqgsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8grqsqqqa2803ksy8) we can successfully make Peter Todd be more and more wrong as time passes, instead of the contrary.

You’ve probably seen GreenpeaceUSA's Bitcoin report by now, and my response (if you haven't been blocked).

Here’s six things that every environmentalist, Bitcoin advocate, regulator, policymaker and media representative should know about GreenpeaceUSA.

I've had this information for over a year, but have held back on going public with it until now because there were initially signs that GreenpeaceUSA would be open to engaging with environmentalists within the Bitcoin community.

With them now blocking me from commenting on their tweets, all hope of that has now ended. So here's what I can tell you about GreenpeaceUSA, and their campaign that have not been aired publicly until now, and which may surprise you.

Firstly, some context: I’m a former volunteer environmental campaigner with Greenpeace. I once risked arrest to stand up for causes I believed in, including an anti-GMO campaign against McDonalds which was successful within 6 weeks, and hailed as an example of how creative direct action can yield fast results. One of the differences: we talked to McDonalds (something no one at GreenpeaceUSA is currently doing with the Bitcoin community).

I know a number of people in the environmental movement, and I would like to thank them for their honesty in whistleblowing on a thoroughly misguided campaign from GreenpeaceUSA from start to finish.

1. GreenpeaceUSA’s campaign does NOT have the backing of Greenpeace International. In fact, other branches have asked questions of GreenpeaceUSA’s tactics, and even said that their campaign is damaging the Greenpeace brand, and has resulted in the loss of subscriptions.

2. Within GreenpeaceUSA, there are a growing number of voices of discontent. There is a growing division between some of the younger crypto-neutral or crypto-friendly millennial in their base, and the directorship of GreenpeaceUSA

3. As we know, GreenpeaceUSA did receive a $5Million donation from Ripple’s chair Chris Larsen to run an anti-Bitcoin campaign. What you probably do not know is that within Greenpeace, several staff have questioned whether this is ethical, or in the spirit of an organization that says it relies only on grassroots funding in its sign-up pledge.

4. Some members of EWG and SierraClub, particularly younger members, were not enamoured with their organization’s collusion with GreenpeaceUSA’s “Change the Code” campaign. EWG has not engaged in anti-Bitcoin rhetoric since 6 April ‘23.

5. The head of GreenpeaceUSA’s “Change the Code” campaign has stepped down and is no longer any part of GreenpeaceUSA. At the time of his stepping down he was reported by a source within GreenpeaceUSA to be questioning the wisdom of the campaign.

6. Within GreenpeaceUSA, we know from multiple inside sources that the Change the Code campaign has been widely acknowledged to have been “not particularly successful”. GreenpeaceUSA’s campaign got off on the wrong foot right from the start, by antagonising environmentalists within the Bitcoin community, such as me. Here’s its half-time report (TL;DR, the worst performing environmental campaign I’ve ever witnessed). https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/greenpeace-environment-attacks-help-bitcoin… Now, the campaign is in more disarray than ever, resorting to tenuous ad hominem attacks against Satoshi Action, based on the discover that one of their supporters is a climate denier. True. Well, guess what: one of their supporters is also a plant-based, tree-hugging, climate-activist & meditation teacher: me. That’s the beauty of Bitcoin: it pulls people in from across the political spectrum: we are as diverse as society itself, and that’s what makes us strong. As I wrote recently, “when the ship you’re standing on is sinking: it doesn’t matter if you’re on the left of right side of it.”

I hoped GreenpeaceUSA would end their anti-Bitcoin campaign before their credibility and relevance to the new generation of millennials they are currently disenfranchising is completely severed.

But it seems at the moment they are more intent on doubling down on misinformation. Their leadership must change for them to ever have hope of becoming a true voice for the environment again.


This was pretty informative.

The **People's Trilogy** is a series of [[books]] written by [[Dutch]] [[author]], [[Frank Dikötter]].

# Books in the series

### Mao’s Great Famine

[[Mao's Great Famine: The History of China's Most Devastating Catastrophe, 1958–62]] delves into the harrowing events of the [[Great Chinese Famine]] during the years [[1958]] to [[1962]] in the [[People's Republic of China]] under [[Mao Zedong]].

The book examines the duration and impact of the famine that persisted for at least four years, contrary to the commonly cited three years. Approximately 45 million premature deaths occurred during this period, surpassing previous estimates of 30 million. Many victims suffered from political repression, torture, or summary execution.

The book also looks at government decisions and responsibility during the time. Beijing officials, including Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, exacerbated the crisis by increasing food procurement quotas from the countryside to fund international imports. Dikötter asserts that the party was aware it was starving its own people to death. Mao himself infamously remarked, "When there is not enough to eat, people starve to death. It is better to let half of the people die so that the other half can eat their fill."

 Dikötter's meticulous research draws from recently opened Chinese archives. The book received acclaim in the popular press and won the [[Samuel Johnson Prize]] in 2011. It provides a detailed account of this tragic chapter in Chinese history. [1][2][3][4]

### The Tragedy of Liberation

[[The Tragedy of Liberation: A History of the Chinese Revolution 1945–1957]] examines the tumultuous early years of the People's Republic of China. The book examines the establishment and first decade of the People's Republic of China. Dikötter challenges the prevailing view that this period was constructive and benign compared to the preceding Chinese Civil War or the subsequent Great Leap Forward. Instead, Dikötter portrays it as an era of "calculated terror and systematic violence."

Indoctrination, ill-conceived economic policies, and uprooting of traditional social relations characterized this time. Officially mandated **"death quotas"** contributed to the unnatural deaths of **5 million people** within the republic's first decade.

The book received considerable attention in the popular press. Critics praised its meticulous research and focus on grassroots impact. Dikötter's work sheds light on the dark realities of early communist China.

### The Cultural Revolution

[[The Cultural Revolution: A People’s History 1962-1976]] sheds light on one of the most tumultuous eras in Chinese history. After the economic disaster of the Great Leap Forward (1958–1962), an aging Mao Zedong launched the Cultural Revolution. His goal was to shore up his reputation and eliminate perceived threats to his legacy.

Mao aimed to purge China of bourgeois and capitalist elements that he believed threatened genuine communist ideology. However, the campaign also turned on his colleagues, subjecting them to public humiliation, imprisonment, and torture. Young students formed Red Guards, vowing to defend Mao to the death. Rival factions emerged, leading to street battles with semi-automatic weapons in the name of revolutionary purity.

As the country descended into chaos, the military intervened. China became a garrison state, marked by bloody purges that affected as many as one in fifty people. Ordinary people used the political chaos to resurrect the market and hollow out the party’s ideology. Decollectivization from below emerged as an unintended consequence of a decade of violence and fear. Dikötter’s research, including access to classified party documents, provides a devastating reassessment of the history of the People’s Republic of  China during this period

**Special drawing rights** (SDRs, XDR) is an international [[reserve asset]] issued by the [[International Monetary Fund]]. The SDR is not a [[currency]], but its value is based on a basket of five currencies—the [[US dollar]], the [[euro]], the Chinese [[renminbi]], the Japanese [[yen]], and the British [[pound sterling]].

The IMF created the SDR in 1969 and defined them as equivalent to a fractional amount of gold that was equivalent to one US dollar.  In 1973, the IMF redefined the SDR as equivalent to the value of a basket of world currencies because fixed exchange rates ended.

The SDR itself is not a currency but an [[asset]] that holders can exchange for currency when needed. The SDR serves as the [[unit of account]] of the IMF and other international organizations. Private entities cannot hold SDRs; only IMF members – and the IMF itself – may hold SDRs.
